"NAN, ARE YOU UP?"

Gently knocking on the door of the next room, Assistant Wen was filled with an inexplicable apology when he shouted this sentence.

When she thought of this young idol who should have enjoyed her first vacation after her debut, but ended up in a hotel room and fiddled with her guitar and electronic keyboard for several days, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for this boy who was so diligent and hardworking.

The company's employees, after all, were specially sent by the company to "take care" of the captain of the EXO-M, and she had to do the task given to her by the company - if it was her own wishes, she would never want to run every morning to disturb the sleep of the boy she was "taking care of".

However, rules are rules, and "bottom" employees like her, as long as they don't follow the rules once, they will never have the opportunity to follow such rules again.

Fortunately, this was the last time she would do this kind of routine check-up that she didn't really want to do, and after today, the personal vacation of the EXO captain will be over, and at the end of this "journey", her last task is to send the boy who has made her so fond of these days back to Seoul in peace.

"Nuna, I'll get up now. “

Just like in the previous days, as long as she knocked on the door, no matter how late the boy was busy before, he would respond to her as soon as possible - this young idol and the group he was in had achieved so many brilliant "achievements" in the past year, but he still maintained enough humility like a trainee, as if he was born with an aura that made people willing to be close to him.

That's probably why the executives in the company are willing to give this boy resources and opportunities "without reservation"?

"NAN, is your phone dead......?

Before he could finish what he wanted to say, there was a rush of footsteps in the room, and a boy with unkempt hair and a coat that he had casually copied and draped over his body appeared behind the open door. So the sloppy image made Assistant Wen even have an inexplicable urge to take a picture of the scene in front of him with his mobile phone: If those who are used to seeing NAN in front of the camera see this look of their idol, I don't know what kind of expression they will show?

"Huh?"

Because he stayed up all night again and didn't get enough sleep, Wang Nanqian's mind was still a little heavy at this moment, and he tried to open his eyes while resisting the desire to yawn, so that he could concentrate a little bit - these days he has been spending all his energy on writing that song that may change everything, and he really didn't notice that his phone has not moved since the last screen turned on last night.

"When your agent called you this morning, he found that your phone was turned off, so he came to me. “

Listening to Assistant Wen talk about the words that had just been interrupted by him to the end, Wang Nanqian, who still had a little bit of sleepiness, all of a sudden scattered - he knew very well that today was the last day of his not very long vacation, since he would return to Seoul in the evening and return to the dormitory belonging to EXO, what was the important thing that made Zhao Yalin so "impatient"?

"I'm going to charge my phone and ...... Arlinuna"

"Instead of calling your agent back, you might as well call the kid on your team named KRIS. “

"Huh?"

The same syllable, repeated a second time.

"YOUR AGENT TOLD ME THAT SHE HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO CONTACT THE KID NAMED KRIS FOR TWO DAYS IN A ROW, SO SHE WANTED YOU, THE CAPTAIN, TO HELP FIND THE KID ......?"

"Huh?!"

The same syllable, repeated for the third time.

It's just that this time compared to the previous two, both in tone and volume are many times heavier.

As members of the same group, why is there such a big gap between them? Seeing the expression on the face of the boy in front of him change in an instant, Assistant Wen couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, the person standing in front of her now is not the "sensible" KRIS, and I wonder if the colleague who is responsible for managing KRIS's holiday itinerary is now having a big head?

"Where are you now, why don't you answer my phone?"

Is this the seventh? or the eighth?

Jiang Shiqi, who was cowering in a small alley, restlessly yelled at the mobile phone that was finally connected, although she would not use honorifics to that Ernie for a long time, but she rarely spoke to the other party in such a tone - but at this time, she didn't care at all whether there was a problem with the way she spoke: since the time of separation, nearly half an hour has passed, and even Jiang Shiqi, who has always been a little arrogant, is really a little anxious.

Where did this Ernie go?

At the beginning of each year, it is a happy time for the trainees of the company. This is especially true for Jiang Shiqi, who has become a member of the company's latest project "Open Trainee Program", and her debut is far more than a dream, and the future seems to be bright - after going through that extremely difficult year, when she was finally able to take Bae Joo-hyun out to go shopping together after many days, she was still in a good mood, but everything changed in just a few minutes.

Even if it has been "made public", but after all, they are just trainees, how did the girls who flocked to them and huddled around them recognize the two of them?

More precisely, how did you recognize Bae Joo-hyun?

I didn't have time to think about why they were surrounded by a group of girls, let alone why a group of girls surrounded them, Jiang Shiqi, who thought that she was still a trainee, so she was still so generous on the street without preparing anything as she did back then, and soon heard such words from around her.

"Is this the woman who appears in the NANoppa song?"

"Looks like it's her!"

"Did she make her debut? How come I've never seen her on TV?"

"Looks like he's just a trainee, right?"

Everything suddenly opened up.

The girls who were about the same age as her didn't know who they were, or didn't care who they were - these girls simply recognized Bae Joo-hyun, whose hairstyle had not changed at all from the teaser who was filming the "Open Trainee Program", and the hated woman who sat with their NANoppa and "drank coffee" and "brazenly" pulled their NANoppa to show off her "affection".

As long as you know a little bit about the recent situation in the Korean entertainment industry, you know how crazy those female high school students in EXO are, and the company's Kang Shiqi and Bae Joo-hyun?

Bae Joo-hyun, who is not good at dealing with this kind of big scene by nature and panicked all of a sudden, just lowered her head and walked forward at first, and when she found that this was not enough to shake off those eyes that seemed to be full of "hostility", she could no longer care about Jiang Shiqi, who seemed to have a smile on her face and seemed to enjoy the feeling of being in the limelight, and trotted all the way into the alley on the side of the road - so she had a bit of gossip after discovering that she could stay out of the matter. I was still thinking about whether I wanted to watch the lively Jiang Shiqi for a while, so she "lost" Ernie who was dragged out of the dormitory after she dragged her hard.

"I ...... I just ...... Been running, so ...... Didn't look at the phone...... I ......"

Perhaps because she was wheezing violently, Bae Joo-hyun's voice was intermittent, and she didn't answer the question that Jiang Shiqi was most concerned about for a long time-so she unceremoniously interrupted Bae Joo-hyun, who was still thinking about explaining something: "Ernie, where are you now?"

“…… I...... I don't know. “

has been together for so many years, Jiang Shiqi knows better than anyone that Bae Joo-hyun, who has a gentle temperament and seems to be weak, is actually a strong and calm person - but why is this Ernie panicking like this now? If you can't cope with a few "enthusiastic" meals, what will you do after your debut in the future?

"Ernie, send me your current location on your phone!"

Jiang Shiqi couldn't help frowning, and shouted into the phone again.

There are not only bustling streets around Myeongdong, but also some small alleys that seem to be inconspicuous, in these small alleys, there are many small shops with small storefronts that are not very large, but they are full of characteristics - along the navigation of the mobile phone map, from Myeongdong all the way to Namsan, Jiang Shiqi, who was frowning, finally found Bae Joo-hyun hiding there with his head shrunk in a small alley, next to a trinket store.

God knows how this Ernie ran so far and how he found such a "hidden" place - Jiang Shiqi, who was thinking about nagging a few more words about this Ernie who she had worked so hard to finally find, was about to speak, but when she walked over quickly and saw the façade of the small shop behind Bae Joo-hyun, her attention was all attracted at once.

There are no light boxes, no signboards, just a wooden door engraved with strange patterns.

What kind of strange shop is this? It looks so gloomy, you can't even see half a figure in the doorway, no wonder this Ernie chose such a place to hide.

"Ernie, why did you run so far?"

"I ......"

has faced the camera countless times in the company's courses, and has already filmed real MVs, and experienced such a "big scene", Bae Joo-hyun never thought that one day when she was really surrounded by a group of "rice", she would behave so clumsily-after hearing Jiang Shiqi's slightly playful complaint, she only felt a heat on her face, and subconsciously buried her head lower.

Fortunately, this sister, who was ruthlessly "abandoned" by her before, did not continue to carry on this embarrassing topic, and Bae Joo-hyun had just opened her mouth to spit out the first syllable, and Jiang Shiqi had already grabbed her arm.

"Ernie, what kind of shop is this?"

"Huh? I don't know ......"

"Ernie, let's go in and have a look!"

The blackened walls were filled with strange shapes of linear blue lights, filled with glassware made of various constellation symbols and books printed with strange magic arrays - when the wooden door pushed open by Jiang Shiqi closed behind him, the light source from the outside world was completely cut off, and the suddenly darkened environment made Pei Zhuxun can't help but firmly grasp Jiang Shiqi's hand.

In such a shop, the woman who looks like the boss sitting behind the counter is dressed in professional attire, which really doesn't fit in with the atmosphere created by the decorations - or has the modern "witches" all moved up with the times and abandoned the traditional attire of the past?

Then she heard a soft female voice sound.

"Welcome. “
