Volume 2 2010 Chapter 141 Pain and Reality
Eun-jeong and Eun-bi visited the school's dance .
I have to say that the high tuition fees are indeed worth it.
The dance studio is spacious and bright, with extra-wide floor-to-ceiling mirrors, high-quality wooden floors, and of course, good ventilation systems and sound equipment.
Quan Enfei had to admit that the conditions here were even better than those in the company. At least from the hardware configuration point of view, it was worth the tuition she paid.
In addition to the dance studio, there is also a recording studio, a piano room and a musical instrument classroom. Simple song production equipment is available here, as well as commonly used musical instruments.
The honor column displays various honors the school has won, most of which are photos and profiles of successful artists.
Eun-jeong smiled and pointed at the honor column and said to Eun-bi, "You will also appear there in the future. When the time comes, I will bring my child here to take a photo and show her that mom has a big star friend!"
"Oh my! You're thinking about having a child now! You should find a boyfriend first! " Enfei complained to her bestie with a smile.
"Ah~ What about me? I can't compare to you. I can just hook up with a handsome Chinese guy by just chatting him up!" Eun-jeong pouted sourly.
"What do you mean by casual flirting? That's called fate. I'm not a casual person!"
"If you act casually, you're not a human being!" Eun-jeong lost no time in complaining.
"Ah! You silly girl, I'm going to tear your mouth apart!" Enfei pounced over in anger.
"Hahaha, I got it right!" Zhao Enzhen ran away.
The two of them were chasing each other on the lawn outside, laughing and having fun.
After a while, both of them were exhausted and sat on the bench on the lawn, panting.
"Ah~" Eun-jeong said with difficulty while trying to calm her breathing: "Although I understand why you don't let Umbrella brother know your real life, and I also recognize your motivation for not knowing his real information..."
"Wow~ Such complex and logical words don't sound like something you can say." Enfei interrupted her perfectly with a sarcasm only used by best friends.
"Hey! You little bitch!" Eun-jeong raised her hand and threatened, "Don't you think this is too much of a joke? You like him so much, but you don't go near him. What will happen if you do this?"
Enfei was silent for a while, then said calmly: "I didn't get close to you because I knew there would be no result. Enjoying the sweetness of love without bearing the burden of reality is the best way I can think of."
Eun-jeong asked tentatively, "Are celebrities really not allowed to date? Aren't all the celebrities I saw on the news secretly dating?"
"They all lead to nothing. That kind of secret love is almost always the product of loneliness."
"How many idol couples have you seen who end up together? Almost all of them only have stable relationships after they've reached their peak. It's not that they don't want to have a stable relationship, but they've given everything they had before to their fans and their work." Enfei said helplessly, "This is for those who have successfully debuted and are doing well. If you haven't debuted, no one would care whether you're in a relationship or not. If you debuted but aren't popular, then dating is simply ruining your future. So I think idols are not qualified to date, at least not during the period of their careers rising."
"Enfei, I admit that what you said makes sense," Enzhen looked at her worriedly, "But people are not machines, and feelings can't be cut off just like that! You like Brother San so much now, I'm afraid you will be trapped in it and can't get out!"
Enfei thought absentmindedly for a while, closed her eyes as if avoiding something, and said weakly: "I don't know either, I'll tell you when the time comes..."
Eun-jeong looked at Eun-bi's face seriously.
After a while, she sighed and said, "We have known each other since we were young. Apart from your debut, I have never seen you take anyone or anything so seriously!"
"You are really not a casual person, Quan Enfei, you are very opinionated!"
"But this is also what I'm worried about. You have your own ideas too much! Sometimes you can be a little extreme, which can hurt you, Enfei!"
The girl became more and more excited as she spoke, and her eyes gradually turned red.
She tried her best to control herself, and choked with tears: "We are not in the same school now, Enfei!"
"I can't walk with you on your future journey!"
"This world is so dangerous. Will you be okay without me watching over you?"
"I'm so worried about you, really worried!"
Eun-jeong, who has always been boyish, hugged Eun-fei and burst into tears.
It seems that the calmness she showed in the morning was also forced.
The anxiety of separation and the worry about her best friend's relationship mixed together to attack the girl's psychological defenses.
The two of them cried together.
The feelings between girls are sometimes very strange. This pair of best friends who have been friends for fifteen years are as close as one person, and their relationship is even more loyal and lasting than that between husband and wife.
This separation was a big blow to both of them. For the first time, these young girls experienced the helplessness and fragility of life.
The two girls who had been together for fifteen years had now embarked on different paths in life, and the pain of their first separation made them cry bitterly.
Life is like this, growing up step by step in pain. When they look back on the past many years later, they realize that the pain they feel unbearable now is actually just a small stone on the journey of life, and there are countless unknowns waiting ahead.
…
Yi Haoyan and Jiang Seqi were happily walking around the school building.
Jiang Seqi, who was wearing a blanket, was obviously more lively. She introduced the classrooms and equipment of various majors to Yi Haoyan in a familiar way. She met many senior students on the way, many of whom knew her and kept greeting her.
"It seems you are very familiar with this place !" Yi Haoyan was a little surprised.
"You should call me senior!" Seqi looked dissatisfied.
Yi Haoyan lowered his head and sighed helplessly.
"Senior, are you familiar with this place?"
"Haha, I enrolled last year, how come I'm not familiar with you?" Jiang Seqi asked curiously.
"I thought trainees and debuted idols didn't come here often?"
"I didn't come here often before, and the practice level here is still not as good as that of the company." Seulgi nodded: "But I have been here more often in the past six months, so I am more familiar with it."
Yi Haoyan was a little puzzled: "Why?"
Jiang Seulgi smiled and looked back: "Joo Hyun asked me to learn more cultural subjects. It will be useful in the future. I can make up for the other exercises. If I debut in the future, I won't have the chance to make up for the cultural part."
Yi Haoyan nodded in agreement and said casually: "It seems that you are very popular here!"
"Because I'm a trainee in SM's A class," Seulgi said calmly, revealing a strong confidence that looked down on everyone. "Most of the students who appear here want to become trainees in big companies like SM and JYP. There are very few artists who debut as trainees like me."
"This school looks like there are probably a few hundred people?" Yi Haoyan exclaimed.
“When I came last year, there were more than 500 people. Now there are more than 600.”
“It’s growing very fast!”
“There are more and more children who want to be artists now…”
"How many people can successfully debut?" Yi Haoyan interrupted Seqi and asked a realistic question.
"Hmm~" Seulgi thought for a moment and said helplessly, "The ones who are considered successful are Lee Joon from MBLAQ and Lee Jong Hyun from CNBLUE who debuted last year, and Lee Jae Jin, Song Seung Hyun and Choi Min Hwan from FTISLAND who debuted in 2007."
Yi Haoyan waited for a while and found that there was no sound.
"No more?"
"Just these few? Five? And two of them are new to the show?"
“So far, these are the only ones that have been successful.”
Although he knew that the Korean entertainment industry was cruel, Yi Haoyan still felt a chill when such a brutal reality was directly revealed.
Looking at these young students in yellow uniforms on campus, he seemed to see a huge pyramid.
These students are the yellow cornerstones of the tower's foundation.
No!
Some may not even be stones.
There is only endless yellow sand under the tower.
It can be ruthlessly blown away by the strong winds of society at any time.
Disappeared without a trace.
