.. After the company's new building, almost all the artists who had already debuted in the company had completed their "moving" work - so the trainees who could only survive in the basement of this old building became the real owners here.

Because of the "departure" of those debut artists, the figures of the idols who used to be seen in the past and who would always gather at the door of this old building to wait for them have gradually disappeared since the end of last year - without the interruption of those troublesome guys, the activities of the trainees in the company, The scope of activity suddenly expanded countless times: after nightfall, young people who had previously dared to huddle in the basement of the building were always seen in the various small restaurants and small coffee shops along the street near the old company building.

"Shizheng, can't you move a little faster? they're still waiting for us to bring the takeaways back. ”

Sitting in a very exquisitely decorated small restaurant, looking at the girl sitting opposite her, who could almost be regarded as the closest to her in the entire company, Dong Shihui, who had already stopped her chopsticks, couldn't help but complain softly - they had been sitting here for more than half an hour, and the other female trainees who stayed in the practice room and didn't run out in this cold weather were still waiting for them to bring back the hot supper to fill their stomachs.

DONDON ERNIE ...... Eat the rice one bite at a time, so that you don't gain weight!"

Listening to Jin Shizheng's bold response, Dong Shihui, who had nearly half of the bibimbap left on her plate in front of her, snorted and laughed: The secret of not gaining weight has nothing to do with the speed of eating-if the meal is a vegetable salad, even if you eat all those grass leaves, it is absolutely impossible to grow meat, right?

"What are you laughing at, Ernie! I'm telling the truth!"

Obviously very dissatisfied with Dong Shihui's reaction, and didn't care that the money for this meal was still from Ernie who was sitting opposite her, Jin Shizheng waved the spoon in his hand angrily and dug out a small spoonful of bibimbap and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Okay, okay, it's okay if I don't rush you, right? You eat slowly, not in a hurry. ”

With a wrinkled nose, a puffed cheek that was stuffed into bibimbap, and looking at Jin Shizheng, who was half coquettish and half emotional, Dong Shihui immediately made a compromise.

For this younger sister, who is younger than her, but who takes special care of herself in all aspects like a little adult, Dong Shihui has long regarded her as one of her closest people in the country of South Korea - especially when with the help of Jin Shizheng, she has been preparing for nearly half a month without sleep, and she won the top ten in the year-end assessment at the end of last year, and entered the list of preparatory members of the "Open Trainee Program", Dong Shihui treated her as her own sister.

Knowing that Jin Shizheng's family was not wealthy, she invited the other party to dinner as much as she could, and every weekend she would prepare some small gifts and go home with Jin Shizheng to visit the other party's mother...... The relationship between the two of them has become so close that even the other trainees have come to see them as a pair of sisters.

If the first lucky thing she encountered after coming to South Korea, a country that is actually very xenophobic in her bones, and being a trainee with all the future blocked and so stressed that she almost couldn't breathe, was to meet that gentle and kind compatriot senior, then the second lucky thing should be to gain Kim Se-jong's friendship, right?

"Dondon Ernie you...... Ahh

Although she made a reluctant appearance on the surface, Kim Shizheng had already begun to speed up the movements in her hands and mouth - just when she finally swallowed another big spoonful of bibimbap that she had just stuffed into her mouth, and was about to say a few more words to the Ernie sitting in front of her, she suddenly saw the door of this small restaurant being pushed open, and a figure that they were no longer familiar with appeared.

This made her exclaim in surprise, and she subconsciously stood up on the table, and then immediately bent down.

"Shiki-senpai, hello. ”

Whether it is the qualifications to be a trainee or the current gap in "status and status" between each other, Jiang Shiqi, a "senior" who has been made public on the Internet and is only one step away from his debut, is indeed an out-and-out and genuine "senior" - even Jin Shizheng also got a good ranking in the assessment at the end of last year, and became a "trainee open plan" with her DONDON Oni As a preparatory member of this project, she must also salute this unexpected senior.

Whether it was Dong Shihui, who was sitting opposite her so that she didn't see the senior walking into this small restaurant, or Jiang Shiqi, who lowered her head and pushed the door open, didn't know what she was thinking, and didn't see that there were still two juniors sitting in the room, she was startled by Jin Shizheng's sudden throat - subconsciously raised her head in the direction from which the voice came, and looked at the two juniors who had been specially told by someone to take good care of her, one of them bent over, And the other one was also standing up in a hurry, Jiang Shiqi's first reaction was not to respond to the greeting, but subconsciously quickly turned around.

"Shibu Qi ......"

Because her seat was facing away from the door of this small restaurant, Dong Shihui didn't notice at the first time that the trainee senior, who had a very close relationship with her compatriots who had always taken care of her, also came to this small restaurant- She didn't realize what was going on until she heard Jin Shizheng's greeting, and just when she quickly got up and wanted to bow to the senior who was already a super veteran among the female trainees, the words of greeting were only halfway out and blocked in her throat, and she couldn't continue.

Just as the senior walked in the door, the door that had just been pushed open by her was pushed open by another person again.

Although the person covered his face tightly with a beanie, a large mask, and a scarf, so that people could not see his face at all, Dong Shihui could clearly distinguish from the person's figure and movements when entering the door that it was a man.

Probably not noticing what was happening in this small restaurant, Dong Shihui clearly heard the words of the man who pushed the door and entered after only half of his body was moved.

"Shiki, the matter of the child surnamed Lin ......"

Sure enough, it was a man's voice.

It couldn't have been more embarrassing.

The seniors secretly "dated" with others in the middle of the night, but they were broken by themselves and Kim Shizheng so indifferently - at this time, the wisest thing to do should be to not say hello at all, pretend to be a stranger, and then quickly pack up and slip away, but Jin Shizheng's greeting made everything complicated.

"You...... Hello. ”

She clearly saw an ugly smile on Jiang Shiqi's face, and then the senior trainee immediately turned around and walked out of the small restaurant without looking back, passing by the man who completely hid his appearance under various "equipment".

The air seemed to freeze, and it wasn't until the figure of the man who hurriedly left behind Jiang Shiqi completely disappeared from sight, and Dong Shihui, who was still standing in place in that embarrassing posture, heard Jin Shizheng's voice behind him again.

Compared to the greeting that frightened her, Jin Shizheng's voice at this time was so slight that if you didn't listen carefully, it would almost be imperceptible.

“…… Ernie, are we ...... What's the trouble?"
