"Senior, why did you come here?"

I don't know if it's because the senior who walked next to me is now completely armed with his face.,When the seniors of the company's old building, which has completely belonged to the trainees, get along.,It's like a wall between the two people.。

In the past, at times like this, there would always be other people around them - whether it was Dong Shihui, Jiang Shiqi or Bae Joo-hyun, her aunt, or the staff on the set.

At that time, she always tries to smile and be the one to stir up the atmosphere.

However, when she was really alone with this senior, she didn't dare to do anything that might be considered "out of line" - she didn't know if she was too careful, but she felt like walking on a thin layer of ice that could melt at any moment.

"Why, don't you want to see me?"

This senior has always been kind and gentle.

But why is he a little ...... when he is alone with her now Odd?

In the past, this senior would always take the initiative to talk to her, ask her about her practice, and ask her if she had any trouble......

However, until now, he has not taken the initiative to talk to her until he has walked back to the company since he walked out of the company until he finished buying supper.

This was too different from the senior she knew in the past, so that Jin Shizheng couldn't help but wonder if he had done something wrong unintentionally, so even if this senior's response sounded like a joke, she didn't even dare to say more than half a sentence - maybe all this had nothing to do with her, but Jin Shizheng, who was much more precocious than his peers, still didn't dare to have any carelessness.

“……”

"Shizheng. ”

"Ah, yes. ”

"Why don't you speak? Do you really want to see me?"

"Ah...... Senpai, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. ”

I'm not sure what kind of mood this senior who has always been kind and gentle to people, whether it was when they met by chance in the company in the past, or when they took care of her on the set of that MV, must have said such a thing, but Kim Se-jong immediately turned around after hearing such words, and subconsciously bent down directly.

Maybe it's because she's been a trainee for nearly a year? She has developed such a "stress reaction" that doesn't know whether it's good or bad - as long as she hears the rebuke of her seniors or the staff in the company, no matter whether the responsibility is or not, it's always right to bend down and admit her mistake in the first place.

Her actions were obviously something that the senior next to her had not expected.

“…… Shizheng, what are you doing here?"

"Huh?"

"I'm kidding you, why are you serious? ”

The tense heartstrings loosened suddenly.

"Ah...... Senior, you haven't spoken, I thought you were angry with me......"

"If you're like me and talk to the phone for almost two hours, you won't really want to talk. ”

So that's the case?

I see!

"Senior ......"

"Okay, okay, we're not in any formal setting now, so you don't have to be so polite to me. Didn't I tell you a few times, just call me Oppa. ”

"Former ...... Nanqian Oppa. ”

She was still a little hesitant, but when she looked up and saw the eyes of the senior standing beside her who was looking at her, Jin Shizheng plucked up the courage and changed her words abruptly - in the days when she was with Dong Shihui, that Ernie would mention the name almost every day, so that Jin Shizheng could almost shout these two words in impeccable Chinese pronunciation.

"That's right, if you let your aunt know that you have to call me senior in private, she will definitely think that I am bullying you, let's go, this ghost weather is strangely cold, if you don't hurry up, this fish cake will be frozen into a popsicle." ”

Looking at the "senior" who was carrying a large plastic bag with a paper lunch box in each hand, he took another step forward as he spoke, and Jin Shizheng, who was left behind by him, couldn't help but chuckle.

This was the first time she had heard this real "artist", who was inextricably linked to her, but who had also made her feel an infinite sense of distance, speak to her in such a casual and relaxed tone - which made her can't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

For the first time, she really felt that he was real, and treated her as an equal, equal existence like him—as if he was really his close sister, just like he usually did with Kang Shiqi and Bae Joo-hyun.

He has always been very kind to her in the past, and it is rare that he is not so kind as now, but because he is too casual, he seems to be a little less "polite" and "polite" than usual, but this makes Jin Shizheng feel that the distance between the brother in front of him and her has become a hundred times "closer".

It's a very special feeling that there is no difference between artists and ordinary people, and there is no longer the difference between seniors who have debuted and those who have descended as trainees.

The male idol who is known to the female high school students as the president of NAN and is very active in all fields, and is arguably the most popular and topical male idol at the moment, has always been very kind to others - he has always treated those around him like this.

But God knows, how much politeness is contained in that kindness?

In other words, how much acting is included?

He was also kind to girls who screamed the word "Oppa" off the stage, on the side of the road, in front of the computer or TV - but how much artificiality was in that intimacy?

The girls shouted "Oppa" and saw him smile and nod in response, thinking that he was really their Oppa - did they know that it was just the idols who were trying to comfort their fragile hearts, so they deliberately used such a kind attitude to paralyze them, to make them fantasize, to make them pay for the album......

In fact, they will never have any real connection with the "Oppa" they shout for the rest of their lives, so with a little bit of thoughtfulness and tenderness, their poor desires can be satisfied.

In the kindness he used to treat her, does it have the same meaning?

Mercy, sympathy? or something else?

Like a person standing in a higher world, looking down on the vast creatures of the Nether?

When she first saw the real person of this senior at her aunt's house, her heart was full of admiration and excitement, and it felt like an ordinary middle school girl who saw a popular Idol.

Later, when she became a trainee in the company by various coincidences, the relationship between them also changed from "female student and artist" to "seniors and juniors": when this person who used to sing nervously in front of a professional recording microphone was separated by a layer of soundproof glass, but made people feel as far away as a world, after she successfully passed the audition, smiled and said to her the words that she still firmly remembered in her heart until now- At that time, Jin Shizheng really realized that she seemed to have finally entered the ideal country that she longed for, and she also had a real and substantial connection with the people who lived in that world.

After she played the role of the heroine in the MV of the debut song of SOL, which was her own on the surface and was also a trainee for all the trainees, she secretly accepted her aunt's request and took care of her brother, and after spending nearly a year of practice life that can even be described as "dark", after almost all the other trainees believed that she would definitely occupy a place in the project of the new girl group......

That higher world no longer seems to be so far away.

Now that she has put one foot in the world, has she stepped into that world?

And now she is completely different from those girls who can only daydream, right?

"Shizheng, what are you rubbing? Aren't you cold?"

"Ah...... Nanqian Oppa, you slow down a little, wait for me!"

said it was an older brother, but in fact it was a senior.

However, compared to his predecessors, he is really still an elder brother...... It feels better.
