I don't know if it's because the weather in Seoul has really warmed up a lot recently, or because those young people who love beauty or cool can no longer hold back the desire in their hearts that have been suppressed all winter, it seems that more and more people have taken off their thick down jackets on the streets of Seoul, and more and more people have changed into light trench coats and coats that show off their figures.

Winter is about to pass, when the cold in the wind is becoming less and less, and the air is beginning to overflow with the faint warmth unique to early spring, looking at the pedestrians hurrying forward in the night in the distance, Bian Boxian, who still completely wraps his face with thick woolen hats, big scarves and masks, feels that the cold winter is still far from over—at least now his heart is still cold.

In order to be able to go further in the group of EXO, in order to allow himself to get more attention, more opportunities, in order to give himself the opportunity to have everything he wants, he did not hesitate to sell his conscience and soul to the "demon" - from that time, from the moment he made up his mind to attack his brother, who was a member of the same group as him, and who used to take good care of him, his heart was already a piece of cold iron.

Until he gets everything he wants, Bian Boxian feels that his heart may not be warm anymore.

The phone in his pocket vibrated as he gently took a half-step back and shrank into the corner of the roadside where the street lights weren't illuminating.

"Chengyou, you've arrived?...... Is there a lot of people in the store? Do you need to change places?...... I know, I'll come here. ”

Putting the phone back in his pocket, Bian Boxian narrowed his eyes lightly and took another step forward.

Even though he has experienced some setbacks and some accidents in the recent period, his plan, or the plan of the "demon", is still going on in an orderly manner:

In order to get close to the trainee, he left behind his dignity, put down his figure, worked hard, and used all his sweet words, so that the female trainee who had been teased by him with a special mood helped him contact the child surnamed Lin who had changed many people's lives with a glass of water.

After that, he only needed to get a little free, in the old building of the company, under the guise of that silly girl, to contact the child surnamed Lin - who knew that just when he finally gained the trust of the stupid boy who was very guarded, and was about to finally get the words out of the other party's mouth, he was actually reported to the staff of the trainee management department by the trainee who didn't know which one of them didn't open his eyes and saw him frequently entering and leaving the old building of the company.

He was still careless after all.

When he deliberately went to be with the girl who seemed to be shrewd, but in fact was still very simple and easy to deceive in order to achieve his goal, he had always consciously covered his appearance - but after all, he secretly went to the old building too many times during this period of time, and it was impossible to hide his whereabouts perfectly anytime and anywhere, maybe it was the kind of time when he was careless, so that someone saw the scene where he was with that girl, right?

In order to fight for the precious debut spot, the open and secret battles and intrigues between the trainees are extremely fierce——. trainees who have been in the company for too long have made their debut, but he has already heard of the filth hidden under the surface of the harmony, and he doesn't know how much: probably the jealousy of the female trainee who inadvertently saw something that should not be seen will cause such a situation, right?

When the angry Lin Xuanjun gritted his teeth and ran to question him why he always ran to the trainees, so that even the relevant personnel of the artist management department were alarmed, he didn't expect that there would be a trainee who had already debuted and even had a black hand on an artist who had become popular last year, and was almost overwhelmed by surprise and horror- Fortunately, his brain is still flexible, and at that critical moment, he actually came up with a reasonable excuse to deal with Lin Xuanjun, who looked like a powder keg that had been ignited.

He believed that the person who reported him would not be the target of him, it must be the simple silly girl, and after the fact that the guy who had evaporated from the world during the vacation of KRIS made such a big situation, at this special moment, the company would definitely not punish him excessively as a member of EXO - so he put all the blame and all the guilt on the head of the silly girl.

Before my debut, I did have an affair with that female trainee for a while, and at that time I pursued her and was rejected. ’

The company has never forbade love between trainees, so it would not be too much of a mistake for him to push the origin of everything to that time.

Some time ago, I suddenly received a message from the female trainee, saying that she felt sorry for me at the time and wanted to apologize and talk to me, so I went over...... Brother Xuanjun, it's all my fault, I really shouldn't have run over so thoughtlessly for the sake of the past. ’

Anyway, it has already been seen by others, and in the case that it is impossible to change the facts, how to pick up their responsibilities to the lightest is a matter of brains.

And then, the female trainee asked me if I had that meaning, and I said it was impossible, and she pounced...... Maybe it was seen at that time, right?'

It was the girl who did it, not him, although he was also at fault, but the biggest problem was the other party, what could he do?

In this way, he successfully "survived", and he didn't care whether the stupid girl was dead or alive after that, he didn't care anymore - not to mention that compared to him, the relationship between the female trainee and the "close" brother who was a member of the same group that he was trying to deal with was much closer, in case something really happened to this female trainee, it was probably that guy who would have a headache, right?

Anyway, now that he has completely connected with the child surnamed Lin, the silly girl who used to act as a bridge doesn't matter - the only thing left is to find a way to find out the cause and effect of that "accident" from the honest child's mouth.

If the truth is really what the "demon" said......

"Senior, I...... I'll pour you another drink. ”

I don't know how many cups of soju he has swallowed, Lin Chengyou only feels that the hot feeling burns from his throat to his stomach, he feels that if he drinks like this again, he will definitely be completely drunk, and if he doesn't say it well, he will lose his temper in front of this senior - but although he thinks so in his heart, he has not stopped pouring wine in his hands, and his mouth is still talking about persuading wine.

In the company, he has been a trainee for a long time - maybe for those who have gone through six or seven years of practice life before debuting, two or three years is not a long time, but for Lin Chengyou, who has been in Class B since entering the company and has never received any good results in various assessments, this kind of life without seeing any hope and any future has been long enough, and he is about to be unable to withstand this invisible pressure. It's about to collapse.

In order to prove his strength in the annual assessment at the end of last year, get a good score, and get a chance to get into Class A, Lin Chengyou spent nearly a month preparing carefully - but it backfired, and I don't know if it was because he practiced too selflessly, just before the exam, he actually fell ill: when he stood in the practice room that was the examination room with a hoarse voice, facing the examiners, he almost cried.

It turns out that there are no miracles in this world, and everything that Lin Chengyou has worked so hard to prepare is shattered in an instant - when the results are finally announced and he sees that he is still a member of Class B in 2014, the company and other smaller entertainment agencies are looking for their own world.

At such a moment, the senior suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

At first, he was wary, he felt that this senior would never find him for no reason, and he would never be as honest and kind to himself as he looked, and he knew that this senior would definitely ask for something for himself before he would find him - so he has always been very polite and polite to the senior who kept being close to him, and never did what he shouldn't do, and didn't say anything he shouldn't say.

Even if he has been in Class B all these years, he has been accustomed to those dirty things between trainees, if this senior wants to do something "terrifying" with his hands, if someone finds out, it will ruin his future and his life.

He just didn't resist the temptation and did such a thing, so that he spent a long time almost sleepless every night in fear and fear every day—even though everyone had regarded that incident as an accident, but knowing what the truth of the matter was, he still often felt uncomfortable because of that great guilt when he occasionally recalled it.

He just didn't want to do anything like that again.

However, when this senior invited him to eat several meals and saw that he did not win his trust, he suddenly sent him a message mysteriously, hoping that he could do a small favor - and in return, this senior would use his connections and means to stand out among the many male trainees of the company, Lin Chengyou's heart defense was broken at once.

It felt like a traveler dying of thirst in the desert suddenly got a glass of water.

The temptation is too great.

For a man who is about to die of thirst, he has no choice between the glass of water and poison, does he?

"Chengyou...... Don't be so polite to me, just call me brother, you know?"

"Good...... Okay, brother, I'll give ...... Pour you wine. ”

Because of the effects of those alcohols, Lin Chengyou felt that his tongue had become numb, so that he couldn't even speak, but his mind was still very clear - no matter what this senior wanted him to do, no matter what purpose this senior found him, in order to be able to get ahead, in order to be able to realize his dream of debut, as long as this senior can keep his promise, he is willing to sell his conscience again.

Just like when he first betrayed his conscience for the sake of that large sum of "pocket money" that was completely irresistible for a teenager.

"Chengyou, brother...... If I promise you something, my brother will definitely do it, you have to believe my brother. ”

I have forgotten how many soju this is, looking at the senior who deliberately chose such a small broken restaurant hidden in the alley that is neither famous nor very delicious, so except for the two of them, the seniors who have never seen customers come have already drunk their eyes are bloodshot, and Lin Chengyou, who was thinking about whether it should be done in moderation, suddenly heard the senior sitting opposite him from EXO, a group that became popular last year, whispered such a sentence.

Even if it was because of the excessive intake of alcohol, so that his mind had already become groggy and was about to lose consciousness, Lin Chengyou heard this sentence clearly.

His heart was pounding violently at once.

"I ...... Of course, I trust my brother unconditionally, but I don't know...... Brother Dao wants to ...... What should I do?"

"Chengyou, brother, actually, I just want to ask you one thing. ”

I don't know why, Lin Chengyou suddenly had a very, very bad premonition, which made him feel that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

“…… What does brother want to ask me?"

“…… Do you remember that there was a Chinese trainee named Huang Zitao back then?"

The most unreminiscent past events surfaced in front of him one by one, and at this moment, Lin Chengyou only felt as if he was being choked by an invisible hand, and his breathing became extremely difficult.

“…… Brother, I'm ...... You ......"

"Chengyou, brother just wants to ask you, this matter ...... Was it really just an accident?"

The thing that scared him the most, the thing that worried him the most, actually came out of the mouth of the person in front of him who he didn't expect the most, Lin Chengyou's brain became blank at this moment, and he felt that his whole person was trembling - more than two years have passed, he originally thought that everyone had forgotten the things of the year, why was it suddenly mentioned by this senior at this moment?

“…… Sungwoo, you know, that guy was supposed to be in EXO and one of us...... You tell my brother, what happened back then, isn't it...... Brother NAN asked you to do it!"

“…… Huh?huh??"

Stunned looking at the senior who was sitting opposite him, had already leaned out and held the table with both hands, both in expression and tone, Lin Chengyou was turning his mind that had been paralyzed under the influence of alcohol, thinking about how to shirk this matter, but he didn't expect the senior to suddenly become so excited - thinking that the secret of the year had finally been revealed, he was so frightened that he softened directly on his seat, and he couldn't even say the complete words.

Until he suddenly heard the unexpected name.

NAN…… Elder brother?

"Chengyou, brother knows that you must have been forced back then, so brother doesn't blame you...... Brother just wants an answer, as long as you tell Brother Brother whether that thing was done by Brother NAN or not, after the next exam, you will definitely be able to go to Class A! Brother promised you, Brother will definitely do it!"

Knowing that the success or failure of the matter is a fight, if this child named Lin Chengyou is relieved from the shock and has psychological precautions in the future, maybe there will never be a chance to get words out of his mouth in the future, Bian Boxian gritted his teeth and made a promise that he could not fulfill at all.

He was gambling, betting that this already drunk and dizzy child would be so stupid that after he was so fiercely scared and made a promise that was irresistible to a trainee and full of great temptations, the child would be unable to distinguish between the benefits and the disadvantages for a while, and he would be so stupid.

As long as this child named Lin Chengyou takes the bait, as for the future, where will he care?

“…… Elder brother. ”

"Huh?"

“…… That...... That thing...... It's ......"

"Did Brother NAN ask you to do it?"

“…… Be...... Be...... It's ......"

Hearing the same pronunciation intermittently uttered by this pale, trembling child, Bian Boxian let out a long breath, and the whole person collapsed in his seat as if he had collapsed.

How terrible can a person become when he becomes a terrible, self-motivated "demon"?

He never believed that Lee Seung-hwan's brother would become such a terrifying person before—just as he didn't believe that he would really do the things he had already done, just as he didn't believe that Wang Nanqian would really instruct his juniors to really do something to Huang Zitao.

The older brother who always has a gentle smile, spares no effort to care for the friends around him, and always does his best to take care of others, the guy who was evaluated as a "model trainee" by the company's teachers before his debut, and was called "president of NAN" by female high school students on the Internet after his debut, and who is considered by almost everyone to be an excellent, gentle, and kind good brother, good student, and good Oppa, has actually done such dirty things.

That guy can even do such things in order to make his debut, so what are the things he is doing now, for his future?

What is so despicable about what he is doing now?

Is what he is doing now justice a justice justice justice is being done?

Bian Boxian was completely immersed in his own world, and his mind was full of all kinds of thoughts, which made him not notice at all, the child named Lin Chengyou who was sitting opposite him didn't know when he had relieved his breath, and even the dull eyes just now became flickering.

"Brother...... Such...... Can I go to Class A?"
