The cold wind from Seoul brought the first snow, which hit the glass windows of the training room, making a rustling sound.

Ouyang Guang pressed his red, frozen hands against the radiator, trying to dispel the cold.

Since he started preparing to become a member of the M1 team, this race against time has lasted for a month. His life is even busier than before, and he is overwhelmed by studying and training.

I wish I could divide myself into three parts, one for class, one for training, and one for eating and sleeping.

Every morning, before the first ray of morning light illuminates the city, Ouyang Guang is already sitting on the bus to school, seizing the time to catch up on sleep.

During breaks, he would hide in the stairwell and listen over and over to the vocal demo he was supposed to practice that day.

After school, they rushed to the training room without stopping and engaged in high-intensity training for several hours.

Kim Junmyeon is always like a caring brother, handing him a warm towel during breaks to remind him to replenish water in time; Park Chanyeol will use exaggerated jokes and impromptu performances to dispel the fatigue of training and fill the entire training room with laughter.

Soon after they formed the graduating class, Wu Yifan and Wu Sehun also joined the graduating class.

December is approaching, and the atmosphere in the training room is becoming increasingly tense.

On this day, Kim Min-ji brought Zhang Yixing to participate in the dance performance of SHINee's first concert tour in Japan as an open trainee, replacing the injured Jonghyun.

The entire training room instantly became lively, and everyone surrounded Zhang Yixing, offering their blessings.

In the dormitory, Ouyang Guang looked at Zhang Yixing packing his luggage, his heart full of admiration and happiness. This was something that Yixing had earned with countless days and nights of sweat. He was the only one in the company who could dance all of SHINee's dance moves.

He still remembers the countless late nights when Yixing accompanied him to practice dance moves over and over again, patiently correcting every detail of his dance.

While everyone was happy for Zhang Yixing, other changes were quietly happening in the training room.

The company's alleged singing star Do Kyung-soo left the company, and a Chinese trainee with panda eyes named Huang Zitao joined the company.

But for Ouyang Guang, these were like the wind whistling outside the window, which attracted his attention for a short time but then disappeared. All his energy was focused on the upcoming team assessment.

Jin Junmyeon organized everyone to do pre-test training, and the training intensity was even higher than usual.

Because Ouyangguang has to attend classes during the day, he cannot take some classes with his brothers.

So in dance class, Kim Jong-in would give him individual guidance during breaks, breaking down and demonstrating each movement one by one.

During vocal lessons, Zhao Zhenhu would silently lend him the notes he had summarized on breathing techniques.

Ouyang Guang was a little confused. On November 28, Brother Jinhu debuted with Cho Kyuhyun, Kim Young-dong, and Kim Jong-hyun as a limited lyrical group SM THE BALLAD.

Brother Zhenhu has already started to participate in the promotion activities for his songs, but I don’t know why he still came to train with them? How did the company arrange it?

Ouyang Guang could feel that everyone in the team was cheering for each other. This silent support rekindled his fighting spirit when he was so tired that he wanted to give up.

In the training room late at night, only Ouyang Guang and Kim Jong-in were still practicing.

Ouyang Guang repeatedly practiced a difficult dance turn in front of the mirror.

Sweat slid down his forehead, blurring his vision, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

The snow outside the window is getting heavier, covering the city with a layer of silver. Inside the training room, the young men never stop chasing their dreams.

After SHINee finished their Japan tour, Yixing also returned from Japan.

When the teachers said that the assessment was passed, Park Chanyeol led the applause.
