Jung so-yeon, who has to do about 15 minutes of subway every day after school and walk out of the Seoul subway, is a trainee at SM and this is his third year of training at SM.
Coming out of the subway station, I habitually walked into the back lane of the commercial street, this road is not spacious, but it leads directly to Zheng Xiuyan's destination, the back door of SM company, the company stipulates that trainees must enter and exit through the back door.
Between the subway station and the company, there is only one department store and KIA's 4S store, so the whole road is not very long, about 100 meters, and you can reach the destination in about two minutes.
It's been a month, but when Zheng Xiuyan walked on this path again, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional. "Hey, the intense training has started again."
Although she has not yet reached the debut period, the competition between the trainees of SM company is still very fierce, not to mention those who are ready to debut, even if they fail the debut period for 3 consecutive small exams, they will also be withdrawn.
It's really a piece of cake for Zheng Xiuyan in the small test, vocal music is her forte, she has always been the first in the same period, she can also stay in the top three in dance, and occasionally play will get a first or second or something, although the results of the acting class are not as good as the first two, but they are also kept within a very safe boundary.
Walking through the department store, you can hear the sound of a piano.
"I haven't been here for a month, but I've improved a lot." Hearing the sound of the piano, Zheng Xiuyan muttered.
Since April, a two-story building has been built on the small vacant land between the 4S car shop and the sm company, because it will pass by here every day, so Zheng Xiuyan can be said to have watched this small building built, probably to decorate it so as not to hurt passers-by.
However, every time Zheng Xiuyan passed by here after school, she could always hear the sound of playing the piano coming from inside, from the intermittent fingering practice at the beginning, to the later Czerny 599 etude, as a result, Zheng Xiuyan and her parents went back to the United States for a month, and after coming back, they had already begun to practice polyphony. You must know that when Zheng Xiuyan was learning piano, it took nearly a year for Czerny's etudes alone, and the teacher praised her for learning quickly, but this freak only took half a year!
After walking through the auto shop, the iron sheets around the original small building were gone, and the small building inside was displayed in front of Zheng Xiuyan. The area of the building is not too large, but it has a unique style. Because this small building is a rare use of British style, it is not that there are no buildings of this style in Seoul, but in Cheongdam-dong Famous Street, it seems a bit unique.
The front of the small building is on the commercial street, and Zheng Xiuyan didn't see it, but the back was in front of Zheng Xiuyan. The whole small building does not have any coloring, that is, the color of the raw materials, it looks a little quaint, there is a small open-air veranda on the second floor, the style of the whole building is very soft but it gives people an angular feeling, obviously there is a conflict between the two, but in this small building it gives people a sense of harmony. There is a small yard at the foot of Zheng Xiuyan when she walks out of the small building, and the edge of the yard is a "fence" built with small dwarf trees. The yard is paved with a lawn, and there is a lawn mower in one corner of the yard.
Seeing this, Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help but sigh a little, if this style of small building was a coffee restaurant, it would be really great.
As if in response to Jung so-yeon's thoughts. Above the back door of the small building, there is a small sign. It reads "Gun'NRose" in fancy English, and a picture of steaming coffee is drawn on it.
Looking at this vulgar name, Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help but be speechless for a while, she spent so much effort to make the entire Xiaolou so good, and ended up using such a vulgar name.
Just as Zheng Xiuyan was struggling with the name, a burst of aroma came from the open back door.
"It's so fragrant, it should be baking dim sum, this taste, it feels delicious." Smelling the aroma, Jung so-yeon looked at the time, there was still an hour before the class, and she decided to go in and have something to eat. But she didn't see that on the nearest tree, there was a sign that read "close".
Walking into the café, sure enough, the interior is also decorated in British style, whether it is the seats or the decoration, it is a unified style, different from the gorgeous and bright decoration method popular in Korea, this café with a vulgar name gives people a very soft feeling, as if as long as you enter here, you will feel that you can let go of all your worries and relax.
In a corner of the café, a stout man sat at the piano, playing intently. Although this man is playing intently, but his dress is too incongruous, this man is wearing a pair of flip-flops on the piano pedal, and the lower body is wearing five-minute long sports shorts, okay, but look at these two things are actually nothing, in the late summer, this kind of clothing is not an unusual thing, but coupled with the upper body wear, it is unbearable. Because the man playing the piano was wearing a white chef's suit and a chef's hat on it. It looks like it's not a good thing to get home.
Seeing what this man was wearing, Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help but feel depressed again, because the whole atmosphere of this room was ruined by this strangely dressed person.
"Even the owner of a coffee shop can't dress so casually during business hours, it's just that he doesn't want customers to come to spend." Zheng Xiuyan thought indignantly.
"What's the matter?" I must have felt someone enter the door, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and a slightly muffled voice sounded.
"Aren't you here for a café, I'm here to dine." Answering the question, I thought to myself, "Well, the voice is good." It would be nice to go to the company and practice hard. "Well, that's the after-effect of long-term practice.
Hearing this, the man stood up and turned around. Although the movements are not fast, it gives people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"Look, you don't see the sign in the tree behind you." After turning around, the man said. When the man turned around, Zheng Xiuyan understood why the person in front of him would give him a sense of oppression, because this man always gave people a sense of uprightness, not because he stood straight, but because he was tall in temperament, standing in front of him, as if the sky was falling, this man's waist would not bend down. Although now the man is dressed in nondescript clothes.
"Brand? What brand. ”
"The shop hasn't opened yet, because there's nothing else to sell other than coffee, and as you can see, the gas stove hasn't been installed yet, there's only one oven to use, and the shop hasn't introduced a coffee machine yet. Handmade coffee is delicious, but two cups at a time can't be supplied, right? The man's face was serious, but his tone was very soft, giving him a gentlemanly feeling, but the Korean with ABC flavor spoiled this feeling.
"I'm so sorry, I really didn't see the sign, I'm embarrassed to break in." Hearing the words of the man in front of her, Zheng Xiuyan said with a flushed color. The injustice that I had just entered the door about the man's dress was gone.
"It's nothing. If you don't mind, you can try the dim sum I just baked and the cookies I made in the morning. Although these are the only ones, these foods are also a good choice with coffee. The man made an inviting gesture and motioned for Jung so-yeon to sit at the table.
"Xie Lu Xie, because this house feels very comfortable, and I saw the sign on the door, so I walked in directly. I'm sorry for the trouble. "Although she is now in South Korea, Jung so-yeon, who grew up in the United States, is also very cheerful and not squirming like other little girls.
"Okay, please wait a minute, I'm going to make coffee now, and the snacks will be ready soon, and if you're bored, there are some books and magazines there." The man gestured to the newsstand in the doorway. Then he bowed slightly, turned around and walked into the operation area.
