He looked at Kim Junmyeon who was standing opposite him. His expression remained calm, but a hint of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

Park Chanyeol opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just lowered his head and kicked the floor. Kim Jong-ho stood at the edge, his eyes swept over Ouyang Guang and Zhang Yixing, and finally fixed on the mirror, without saying a word.

They had clearly survived the most difficult winter together, but were forcibly separated when spring came.

April is here, and Lee Soo Man mentioned the debut date of May in his speech at Stanford University, like a countdown pendulum hanging over everyone's heads.

Ouyang Guang stared at the calendar on the wall of the training room every day, counting the days.

Time passed day by day. Originally, Lee Soo Man said in his speech at Stanford University that he would launch a new boy group in May. However, as May came, there was no movement.

The training room was filled with an uneasy atmosphere. Everyone was guessing what had gone wrong and everyone was suffering in waiting.

Mid-May, late night in the dormitory

Ouyangguang lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze. The phone screen lit up, and it was a message from Zhang Yixing: [Are you asleep? ]

He replied: [Not yet.]

Soon, Zhang Yixing sent another message: [Have you watched Mr. Lee Soo Man’s speech at Stanford? He said he will launch a new boy band in May. ]

Ouyangguang stared at the words for a few seconds and slowly typed: [It is already mid-May. ]

The screen displayed "Enter the other party's input" at the top. After a long while, Zhang Yixing only said one word: [Hmm.]

The feeling of powerlessness and anxiety surged up again. Ouyang Guang closed his eyes, and he seemed to still hear Jin Minzhi's cold voice in his ears.

"Until the day you step onto the debut stage, everything is still unknown."

But when will the debut come? No one knows.

The cherry blossoms have fallen in May, but there has been no news of his debut.

Just when everyone was full of doubts, a new member joined and Xu Yinghao was brought into the training room. He bowed politely and introduced himself, but his eyes could not hide his nervousness and expectation.

His arrival has injected new vitality into the debut preparatory class.

The gears of fate seemed to turn faster and faster, the days continued to pass in the intense training, and in the blink of an eye it was September.

"New here?" Ouyang Guang looked at the two unfamiliar faces standing next to the vocal teacher and asked Huang Zitao in a low voice.

"Well, I heard one is called Kim Jong Dae and the other is called Bian Baek Hyun." Huang Zitao laughed, "They are both very good at singing, so they were immediately put into the M1 team."

Ouyang Guang nodded thoughtfully. In the past year, the personnel changes in the debut class have been like a revolving lantern, some people leave, some people join, but the so-called "debut" has always seemed like an unattainable phantom.

"Don't be in a daze," Zhang Yixing gently pushed him from behind, "It's time for us to practice."

Ouyang Guang took a deep breath and leaned towards the microphone.

No matter how many variables there are ahead, at least at this moment, he can still stand here and sing with the people around him.

Kim Jong Dae and Byun Baek Hyun joined the team, making the debut preparation class lively again. The two newcomers showed amazing abilities right after they arrived.

Kim Jong Dae has an amazing voice, his high notes are so clear and bright that they seem to penetrate the sky; Byun Baekhyun is quirky and his singing performance is eye-catching.

In front of the mirror in the practice room, Ouyang Guang looked at the constantly changing faces around him, feeling a sense of unreality.

Who will be the final member? When will they debut?

Can they...really stand on the stage together?

As new members continue to join, the intensity of training becomes more and more intense. Ouyang Guang rushes between school and vocal music, dance, performance and other courses every day, often collapsing on the floor of the training room due to exhaustion.

Whenever he wanted to give up, he would think of how everyone worked hard for their dreams and those employees who had left. A strength would surge in his heart, supporting him to keep going.
