At 15, Lia Kim became a YG trainee.
She didn't step onto the stage, but she stood in a position closer to the music. She witnessed legends being born and heard forgotten melodies.

Chapter 109 Chapter 109
After staring at the comment for a few seconds, she felt captivated and, for some reason, clicked on the link the thread owner had sent. This CP building dates back to 2009, and its name, rather bluntly and somewhat brazenly, was simply "GD&LIA."
Their names stood side by side, surprisingly harmonious. She couldn't help but look at them a few more times. 2009 was the year when "Heartbreaker" was produced and released. During that time,
She spent nearly every day in the studio, working alongside him, occasionally appearing in behind-the-scenes footage. That was also the year they spent the most time together. They were closer than ever before.
At his birthday party, before he got angry, she even suspected that he might like her. After that, their interactions in front of the camera almost disappeared. She sorted the posts by popularity,
I casually clicked on the most liked article - "GD&LIA; - GD TV details to learn". At that time, companies liked to use documentary style to shoot behind-the-scenes of artists: Bigbang TV, 2NE1 TV, GD
TV... Although the final film will be screened and beautified, the basis of the shots is always their real daily life. The poster obviously put a lot of effort into it, almost turning the show upside down.
She captured every moment she and GD were in the same frame. In her memory, it was just a part of her daily routine, but in these magnified images, every glance, smile, or even the smallest movement,
All have been given new meaning.
There were details that she herself hadn't noticed: his relaxed expression, the direction in which his body tilted slightly, and the Chrome Hearts ring he always wore on his hand during that time—a ring that the poster claimed was from the "same series" as her bracelet.
She thought she would quickly scroll away, but she ended up patiently reading every reply in the post. As if being pulled by an invisible thread, she clicked on several related posts. Many of the interpretations were wild and imaginative.
Even with obvious over-imagination, she unexpectedly discovered that she remembered far more details of that year than she had imagined, and with far greater clarity. Those moments, drowned out by daily life, seemed to be brought back one by one by these words.
It turns out that from someone else's perspective, their relationship can take on a completely different meaning. Is it because they're the ones involved that's being misled? Knowing that imagination trumps reality, she remains captivated, unable to look away.
She stood up and walked over to the cabinet, pulling out a black velvet bag from the deepest part. A silver Chrome Heart bracelet lay quietly inside. It wasn't from the same collection. It was custom-made for him.
Even more closely related than "the same series". Silver jewelry that has been oxidized can retain its original color even if it is not worn for a long time. The back of the buckle is engraved with the Gothic "Chrome
Hearts", and the silver block on the front represents Lia Kim's initials - "LK". She closed her eyes and could remember the scene of him putting the bracelet on her wrist.
And his light blond hair shimmered slightly under the dim streetlight. Lia sat back at the table, her fingertips gently stroking the velvet bag, her mind a mess. Of course, there were many more CPs for Quan Zhilong.
Maybe she stayed on the page for too long. When she sat back in front of the computer, a bunch of similar sites had already popped up in the forum's recommendation column.
There were pictures of him with members of popular girl groups, with members of his own group, and even... Lee, Lee Soo Hyuk? Lia was shocked, but she couldn't help but click on the link.
After she finished reading through it all, she felt like her brain was almost deprived of oxygen - it is said that this happens when people receive too much stimulating information at once.
To say that it opened the door to a new world is a bit of an understatement. To be more precise, it was more like the door to the new world opened directly in her face.
Unlike other CP forums that are mainly based on speculation, this couple has so many real-life photos together that the thread owners can't keep up. Official, private, dynamic, static, everything is included. "Is Lee Soo Hyuk unemployed?"
——A netizen asked a sincere question. "If the partner is a career-oriented person, it's like this." "Soo Hyuk-xi's eye trap, kkk" "No, are you all serious..." "Whatever, it's good for my eyes anyway."
"It's totally legendary" "Ah Xi, it's sad to think that they are dating other women, so why don't they just be together" "Can't they date the same woman at the same time kkk"
"Don't say such hellish things upstairs." "If that woman were me, I'd be fine with failing college for three consecutive years." "If it were me, I'd be fine with talking about it even in hell."
"It sounds like a lunatic, but if I put myself in their shoes, I can do the same kkkk" ... I wonder if they've ever seen this kind of post themselves. Lia stared at the screen, suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable looking at those two people.
She was just about to close the page and get a glass of water to calm herself down when a message suddenly popped up in the lower right corner: @g-dragon posted a new photo. She glanced at the time and it was almost one in the morning.
Doesn't he have a concert tomorrow? Lia frowned, but still clicked on the link.
The photo was a casual hand-drawn doodle. On a deep black background, a small, abstract figure with a large head and a small body was drawn with a fluorescent pen. Its knees were folded to its chest. In an inconspicuous corner, four English letters floated: SOLO. SOLO?
Apparently, besides him, there were also a lot of fans who immediately popped up in the comment section: "Wow, artist Kwon~" "If GD was my art teacher when I was a kid, I could become Picasso"
"Is GDnim going to teach art? Then Seoul can open its own Louvre kkk" "Oppa Sarang hey!" "Everyone is still up so late, am I the only one who has to go to school tomorrow?" "Shh, just enjoy it quietly (shut up)"
"What is Solo implying?" "He's saying he's single, haha" "Wow, that's really reassuring, Oppa won't fall in love with other women" "What nonsense is that person above talking about?"
"Even if I become the last woman on earth, I will choose to date GD kkk" "It's just a picture, why think so much?" "Oppa always posts something meaningful"
"I say... doesn't anyone think he's going to release an album!!!" "!!!!" "August is coming, and he said in previous interviews that he's preparing for a solo album." "Oh my God, if that's the case, August will be so good to me."
Lia pondered for a moment, then gave a thumbs-up to the comment about the album release. She was browsing on a secondary account; her main account with her name was largely managed by her company, so she wasn't worried about revealing her identity.
Before I was about to quit, a comment suddenly jumped into my eyes: "I feel like he is implying that he is single. The Japanese guy said something similar in an interview a while ago." I paused.
Before she knew it, she had already typed "Kiko Interview" into the search bar. At the top of the search results was a striking headline: "Shiseido Tsubaki Endorsement Live: Kiko Mizumoto's Latest Response to Her Relationship."
I knew it was stupid, but I clicked it anyway. The link leads to the interview video. Tsubaki's new product launch in Tokyo in March.
The backstage interview area was surrounded by a red and white backdrop, and flashes of light were flashing. Kiko Mizuhara, wearing a sharply tailored white gown, her hair tucked behind her ear, smiled brightly as she answered questions from the media.
The first few minutes of the interview were routine, focusing on new products, endorsements, and behind-the-scenes footage. The atmosphere was relaxed and polite. That was until a reporter suddenly spoke up:
"Bigbang recently made a comeback, and there are rumors that they will soon start their world tour in Japan. Kiko-san, will you be there?" The smile on Kiko Mizuhara's face faded a little.
"Well...it depends on my work schedule. The first half of the year is practically full." The reporter wasn't about to give up. "Are you still dating GD-san?"
The air seemed to be suddenly sucked out of the scene, and everyone waited with bated breath, leaving only the click, click, click of the flashbulbs. For some reason, Lia, on the other side of the screen, held her breath along with the people in the video.
She didn't miss the slight change in Mizuhara Kiko's expression. It was like being slashed by a sharp weapon, the pain short and sharp, but quickly suppressed.
It was a head-on collision of well-trained facial control and sudden emotion, subtle and fleeting, yet irrefutably real. "...currently single," she said with a smile. * What is love?
The love of public figures was condensed into fragments by just a few photos, from passionate to cold, from close to distant. In the end, only that short and painful look remained. She suddenly thought of the sentence - Love is a
Love is a fleeting illusion. Grand and fleeting.
