Chapter 1: The Familiar Man

Seoul.

On early summer nights, the stars twinkle in the night, and the moon hanging in it is obscured by a dark cloud, and only a small part of it is exposed.

A certain community in Cheongdam-dong.

Maybe there are not many residents in this community, so it seems a little quiet, there are a few houses in the community with lights on, and from time to time there is a family of three who come out of the stairwell, take a walk in the community, enjoy the shade, and enjoy this pleasing night view.

In the distance, two modified black modern cars slowly drove into the community, stopped in a unit in the middle, and after a while, the door was pushed open, and a pair of slender legs stretched out first, and then a face that gave people the feeling of being a little sister appeared in the field of vision.

The girl got out of the car and walked aside, waiting for the other companions in the car to get out of the car, after this girl, eight girls of the same age as her walked out of the car one after another, if anyone passed by, they would be surprised to shout, because these nine girls are the most popular girl group at the moment - Girls' Generation.

And the girl who was the first to get out of the car, like the little girl next door, is the face of Girls' Generation, Lin Yun'er, who is called 'Little Deer' by fans.

However, at this time, the faces of the nine girls all had a very tired look, obviously they had just returned from the announcement, so they did not stay too much downstairs, and a group of people said goodbye to the assistant and agent who were still in the car very respectfully, and then turned back and walked towards the unit.

"Wow! I can finally rest, and I'm here on the soft sofa!! Lin Yun'er, who was walking in the front, suddenly quickened her pace, widening the distance between the other eight girls, and the other few people just came to the stairs, Lin Yun'er's figure was already invisible, and everyone was not surprised by this, and there was no special reaction, but they each accelerated their pace, and they were very eager to rest.

When I returned to the dormitory, I saw Lin Yun'er occupying the entire sofa alone, with an expression of enjoyment on her face, and she kept muttering, "It's so comfortable, it's so comfortable"

"Ah, Lin Yun'er, you are too cunning, you actually occupy the big sofa, hurry up and give me half of it" Cui Xiuying and Sunny, who were the first to enter the living room, hurriedly threw themselves on the sofa, and Yuri and Tiffany, who were following behind the two, also joined the battle over the sofa without hesitation.

The captain Kim Taeyeon and Seo Hyun, who finally entered the living room, stood at the door and looked at the sofa that had become a mess very troubledly, and then the two glanced at each other tacitly, and the silent one occupied a small sofa, and then looked at the 5-person group still fighting on the sofa with a good look

"Ouch, sister, it hurts, you guys pressed me" Lin Yun'er, who was pressed at the bottom, kept screaming, she was undoubtedly the worst one, and the weight of 4 people was all on her.

"Aren't there two more sofas next to them? Why are you all here to grab this" Lin Yuna suddenly shouted, causing the four people who were pressing on her to suddenly stop all movements, look at each other with a look at each other, get up from the sofa, and look at Kim Taeyeon and the others who were already sitting on the sofa on both sides to rest.

Lin Yun'er, who was the slowest to get up, rubbed her waist, looked at Xu Xian, who was very leisurely beside her, and said with an unwilling expression on her face, "Xiaoxian, you are too cunning, watching your sisters messing around here, you didn't stop it, I really misjudged you" After speaking, he covered his face with both hands, and his shoulders kept shaking.

Listening to Lin Yun'er's words, Xu Xian turned her head and looked at this sister who was only a few months older than herself, as if she didn't know how to refute her, but fortunately, Cui Xiuying on the side helped her out.

The first half of the sentence "Lin Yun'er, don't bully Xiaoxian" made Xu Xian very satisfied, but the good mood was not broken for too long, Cui Xiuying said with a natural expression, "If you want to bully Xiaoxian, it must be me!" ”

Opening her mouth, Xu Xian swallowed what she wanted to say, looking at this group of unscrupulous sisters, she could only shake her head helplessly, ignoring them, according to past experience, if she continued to talk along with them, she would definitely be tricked even worse.

Seo Hyun leaned back on the outside of the sofa, wondering if to change positions and sit next to Kim Taeyeon, who looked more reliable, but a burst of pictures flashed in her mind, it seemed that this sister was more terrifying than these people next to her when she was convulsing, and looked up at Kim Taeyeon, who did not speak, Seo Hyun subconsciously covered her chest.

Seeing that Seo Hyun didn't take the bait, Choi so-young and the others had to give up the idea of continuing to play tricks on her, but Kim Tae-yeon felt a little inexplicable, and at this time, Lin Yuna suddenly said, "Hey, why do you always feel a little wrong, it seems that there is one person missing" She looked left and right and asked, "What about Sister Sika?" Why didn't you see her?"

When everyone looked closely, they really didn't find Jessica, and there were only eight people in the living room at this time, but Jessica was missing.

"Could it be that she fell asleep in the car just now and didn't get down?" Cui Xiuying touched her chin and speculated, her remarks were also affirmed by several other people, given Jessica's appearance in the past, maybe Jessica really fell asleep in the car, after all, the title of 'God of Sleep' is not called in vain.

However, as soon as Cui Xiuying's words fell, she heard a sound from the bedroom, and Jessica, who had never seen anyone, was about to go to the bathroom with a change of clothes in her hand.

Holding her clothes in both hands, Jessica was about to go to the bathroom to take a hot shower, she didn't participate in the mess in the living room before, she wasn't the kind of person who likes to go crazy, not to mention that she had more important things to do, but seeing everyone looking at her in unison, she stopped and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"So sister, you're in the dormitory, I thought ...... Woo woo" Lin Yun'er was generally covered by Cui Xiuying on the side when she said this, and she made a whining sound.

Cui Xiuying hurriedly opened her mouth and said with a smile, "It's nothing, you go and get busy with you."

"Hmph~"

Seeing such an obvious reaction from Cui Xiuying and others, Jessica immediately understood that this group of people must have said bad things about her again, and couldn't help but snort lightly, and then walked into the bathroom without looking back, and after walking out of the living room, she could obviously hear words like "It's good that Yuna didn't say it" behind her.

Seeing Jessica leave, Cui Xiuying and the others patted their chests as if they had escaped, even if they knew that Jessica didn't care about their ridicule, but every time they looked at Jessica with a stiff face, they had a feeling of fear, and they could only say that the cold temperament on Jessica's body was too conspicuous.

"It's good that I didn't let Yun'er say it, otherwise it would have provoked Mausica, and everyone would have finished together"

Lin Yun'er also stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, and immediately said, "I can't imagine that Sister Sika is so witty, obviously she usually looks stupid and cute, next time I must go to grab the bathroom first, compared to the sofa, it is obvious that taking a hot bath is the highest enjoyment."

"Wow, Lin Yun'er, you're dead, you dare to say that Sika is stupid, I will definitely sue her later"

"Don't!! Sister Xiuying, I know you're the best, next time I'll never grab anything from you again."

"Hey, hey, I'm thinking about it"

Cui Xiuying and Lin Yun'er laughed and played again, and it took a while to quiet down, and the trouble was over, and then it was time for everyone to line up to take a bath, after all, there was only one thing in the bathroom that everyone had to take turns, so everyone had to turn on the TV to watch a variety show to pass the time.

In the selection of the show, it is rare for the 8 girls to maintain the same opinion, and they all decided to watch a talent show called "Superstark", which has been very popular recently.

Recently, this program has been very popular, and it has achieved about 10% of the ratings on limited TV stations, and it is no exaggeration to say that the 10% rating of cable TV should be equivalent to the more than 40% rating of TVB.

A talent show, and it's also a singing talent show, can have such popularity, naturally attracting their attention, but there have been a lot of announcements recently and I don't have time to read it, and I just happened to meet today to see it, maybe one of the contestants participating in the competition will enter the song world and become their peers.

The TV screen was switched to Ment TV under the control of Choi so-young, and at this time the show had already begun, and it was a short-haired girl standing on stage singing, and the songs she sang were also very familiar to them, and this song was also included in their album.

This song is "Girls' Generation" sung by Lee Seung-cheol, and from the feedback from the show, it seems that today's singing tracks are all selected from the songs released by Lee Seung-cheol.

"This person is really good on stage, was she really an ordinary person before she participated in the competition?" After watching Ji Xuemei's performance, Lin Yuner praised with some incredulity.

"That's right" Several other people also nodded in affirmation, maybe for those of them who have debuted for a few years, Ji Xuemei's typhoon may be a little immature, but you must know that Ji Xuemei was just an ordinary girl before participating in the competition, if it were to replace them, there was no guarantee that she would be able to have her own typhoon after participating in a few rounds of competitions.

"This one is already so powerful, I don't know if the others are also so powerful," Cui Xiuying said with some expectation.

After Ji Xuemei, there was a boy named Xu Renguo, who was a little chubby, but several girls spoke highly of him, because they definitely had the potential to become a star, because he was very good-looking, he just needed to lose weight and pack it well, and he was not inferior to other male stars who had debuted.

The show was unexpectedly exciting, so that the girls forgot about going to the shower and stared at the TV intently, even Jessica didn't notice it when she came out of the bathroom, and the atmosphere in the living room was broken until the last contestant of the game came on, because the face that appeared on the TV was both familiar and unfamiliar to them.

"He... He...... He's not? Lin Yun'er covered her mouth with a surprised look, pointed to the TV and stammered, turned her head and found that several other people were also as shocked as her, everyone looked at each other, as if they were making eye contact, and finally Lin Yun'er said uncertainly

"Erya oppa?"

"It seems like yes, it's really him."

"Wouldn't it? It's really unbelievable that he would actually participate in this show? ”

All of a sudden, the living room became very lively, and the people I once knew appeared on TV, so that some memories of the girls that were originally sealed in the depths of their minds came to life one by one.

"By the way, he's not the same as Sister Sika" As more and more memories were discovered, Lin Yun'er suddenly stood up and shouted, and before the words fell, she realized that Jessica was already standing behind them.

"Ah............ Sister, when are you coming out?"

"I came out a long time ago, you didn't notice it," Jessica said calmly, shrugging her shoulders, and she didn't react differently.

"Uh....sister, you?" Lin Yun'er walked up to Jessica, stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her, and she didn't know where she got the courage to ask, "Sister, you didn't have any reaction after reading this?" ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Yuna was ready to be treated violently by Jessica, but the result was beyond her expectations.

"What, how do you want me to react? It's boring, I'm going to rest" Jessica turned around and left the living room with a grim face, and before turning around, she glanced at the TV with her spare eyes, in which Li'er Ya had already finished her performance and was being commented on by the judges.

"These two people are very wrong, they obviously had such a good relationship at the beginning" Jessica's indifferent reaction made everyone scratch their heads, after all, they were very clear about the relationship between the two people, when Li Erya was a trainee in the company, except for the few people who were more familiar with him, he had a cold face towards others, almost a copy of Jessica.

After Jessica left, everyone's attention returned to the TV, and at this time it had come to the last moment, Zhao Wenhe and Ji Xuemei, who had performed before, were promoted one after another, leaving only Xu Renguo and Li Erya waiting for the final result.

"No, I have to vote for Erya OPPA" Tiffany, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly took out her mobile phone and muttered to herself, and then said to everyone, "Hurry up and take your mobile phone out to vote for him"

"Huh?" Choi so-young and Lim Yoon-a dragged a long tail note and glanced at each other, poor Tiffany hadn't realized that she had been remembered by these two people.

On the other hand, Jessica, who returned to the dormitory, did not lie down on the bed to rest as she said, but sat at the desk, turned on the lamp and looked down to prepare something.

There was a white glove on the desk covered with small rhinestones, and there was a small piece of the glove that had not been done, and Jessica hurried back to the bedroom to get it done.

In fact, she already knew that Li Erya participated in "Superstark", so everyone else outside just now looked surprised when they saw Li Erya, but she was able to remain calm.

This glove is what she is going to give to Li Erya to use in the finals, as for whether Li Erya can enter the finals, she is not worried about this at all, if Li Erya had debuted, she would have been able to make her debut as TVXQ, or if she was a member of SJ, if he couldn't enter the finals with such strength, who could?

Suddenly, there was a movement outside the door, Jessica hurriedly put the gloves back in the drawer, and a crumpled pink letterhead was placed inside.

"Hey, Sika, you haven't slept yet?" Seeing Jessica sitting at her desk, Cui Xiuying asked after a moment.

"If you can't sleep, get up and sit down"

"I'll tell you, just now, that guy was almost eliminated...... "Jumping on the bed, Cui Xiuying began to pull Jessica and tell her what happened on TV just now.

And at the same time.

Just came out of the studio center of ment TV station and returned to the dormitory arranged by the program team, Li Erya and the others did not rest, but said goodbye to Xu Renguo, who was eliminated, he had to move out of the dormitory, and they would see him off if they had already advanced to the top three, of course, this is not the first time, starting from the top ten, such a scene will be repeated every Friday night, but the people are different.

At this time, it was almost early in the morning, watching Xu Renguo disappear into the deserted street with his luggage, Li Erya sighed slightly, maybe if he was unlucky, this back would be him.
