Chapter 9 (includes brief descriptions of the female supporting character) That child...
On the surface, Kwon Ji-yong was called to President Yang's office to discuss upcoming events.
In reality, she was receiving a warning from President Yang regarding the rumors.
"...Zhilong, don't let personal factors affect the team as a whole."
Yang Hyun-seok continued his speaking style from when he was talking to Han Sang-hee, which made Kwon Ji-yong feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.
Presidents typically use this tone in public.
They call it a rumor, but they all know whether it's true or not.
Kwon Ji-yong has no intention of giving up on his lover.
He understood what the president meant and reminded him not to ruin the whole group because of his own selfish desires.
As the leader of BigBang, Kwon Ji-yong considers BigBang to be his most precious possession.
When you're young, you'll always meet that one person who makes your heart flutter and makes you willing to give your all. Maybe she didn't appear at the right time, but he tells himself that cherishing the present is enough.
After returning from the president's place, Kwon Ji-yong would always be somewhat silent.
The members still in the dormitory were somewhat used to their captain's appearance.
Perhaps to distract himself, he went to bed early, which was unusual for him.
It seems like he's forgotten something?
When he woke up the next day, Kwon Ji-yong grabbed a handful of his hair, trying to clear his head.
Ah, it's the symbol I saw on that child's homework yesterday.
He felt like he had seen him somewhere before.
While browsing social media, Kwon Ji-yong remembered something he had forgotten after the CEO interrupted him.
It's probably a simple line drawing, somewhat resembling a sun symbol.
Perhaps it's just that child's personal habit. Or maybe I've seen something similar somewhere before.
Aside from the impression he got from the original team members that Han Sang-hee was a pretty new trainee at the company, Kwon Ji-yong's biggest impression of Han Sang-hee was Teddy's evaluation of her as having exceptional resilience.
After meeting him yesterday, he felt that the kid was very suitable to become an artist.
No wonder she became a member of the pre-debut group as soon as she joined the company.
Kwon Ji-yong's thoughts were interrupted by a piece of information he happened to catch on the screen.
Kwon Ji-yong enjoys interacting with fans and often browses their posts, whether he's very popular or embroiled in controversy.
The post he just viewed was also a blog post forwarded by a fan; the original content was published by an account named paracosmto0818.
Following the trail, I found the account's homepage, and just as the fans had said, apart from the post that was shared thousands of times to prove that he hadn't plagiarized, the rest of the content on this account was all about promoting him.
But none of that matters.
Importantly, he saw similar notation and the same symbols in the shared image.
If the symbols can be considered accidental, the probability of having the same notation habits is extremely low.
Thus began an event where the identity of the person was revealed, a completely serendipitous occurrence.
Hey, is that kid my fan?
Kwon Ji-yong was briefly at a loss.
For the first time, he felt uneasy about his ability to capture details from the smallest things.
Kwon Ji-yong usually enjoys gossiping and sharing stories with the other members.
After all, gossiping is human nature.
The gossip, big and small, circulating in the industry is quite juicy.
He was a little embarrassed because he had accidentally exposed his junior's identity this time.
Cough cough, he really didn't mean it.
Perhaps because he wasn't fully awake in the morning, Kwon Ji-yong immediately splashed some cold water on his face.
After coming out of the restroom, when questioned by the members, he subconsciously did not tell the truth, only saying that it was due to the president's influence yesterday.
It wasn't that he thought telling others he'd discovered his junior was a fan would make him seem narcissistic; rather, he preferred that as few people as possible know. He didn't want to influence his junior.
The girl really wanted to debut, and Kwon Ji-yong saw his past self in her.
He also saw the account owner's fondness for the account's content within that account.
Let's not bother them for now.
Although he said that, Kwon Ji-yong still silently memorized the account name "paracosmto0818".
It's okay to take a look occasionally.
It turns out that I have also become a senior artist loved by younger generations.
Kwon Ji-yong, who has been in the industry for less than four years, had some feelings.
Han Shangxi was completely unaware that his identity had been exposed.
She's in class right now.
When I look up, I stare intently at every stroke the teacher makes on the blackboard, occasionally scribbling down some notes, completely unaware of the gazes falling upon me.
During this time, Han Shangxi actually felt more at ease at school.
The teachers and classmates are all very easy to get along with.
Her academic studies were relatively easy. Compared to her composition assignments, these became her moments of relaxation.
Indeed, compared to composing, which gave her a headache, everything else was relatively easy.
After class, Han Shangxi prefers chatting with familiar classmates rather than continuing to study.
She's just more focused during class; she's not completely absorbed in studying.
"Shangxi, how about we go to the convenience store together?"
"OK."
Shang Xi readily accepted Li Can's invitation.
Li Can was Shang Xi's most familiar friend in the class.
She was originally Shangxi's deskmate.
However, when they met again at the start of the new semester, Li Can had grown taller, and naturally, when choosing a seat, she opted for the back row, which was where she most wanted to be.
The back seats are extremely popular.
I'm sorry, Shangxi.
Using his height as an excuse, Li Can successfully chose a seat in the middle or back row under the teacher's death stare. Originally, the teacher planned for the students with higher grades to be in the front row.
More than half a year has passed, and Han Shangxi, who has only grown 2 centimeters in height, is still in the first row.
Shangxi's conventional choice made the teacher feel comforted by his wounded heart.
Middle-aged men shouldn't try to look hurt like pretty boys, okay?
The students, seeing the teacher's varied expressions, expressed their inability to accept it.
Shangxi is very popular at school.
Unbeknownst to her, she had become a popular figure at the school. Snacks and letters would occasionally appear on her desk, and she would sometimes be stopped by friends at the convenience store and confessed her feelings... Han Shangxi politely rejected all these advances.
Those people were quite sensible; after she refused, they didn't harass her like they did in junior high.
Perhaps it's because I've gotten a few years older and grown up?
Han Sang-hee attributed these to the fact that growing older makes one more rational.
Actually, the real reason is the spontaneous defense by the classmates.
What should we do if someone tries to harass Shangxi, a classmate?
Of course, we should reason with them and appeal to their emotions, and properly educate them on behalf of their parents.
This is a consensus among the classmates.
An extremely childish prank? He claims he did it because he likes people?
Those people are not worthy to appear before Han Sang-hee.
Children of this age are precisely the kind of people who dislike the inexplicable romantic tales in movies and TV dramas.
If you say you like someone, then you should respect their feelings. Liking someone means cherishing them, not using the guise of "liking" to actually "harass" them.
I believe everyone's parents have told them to be polite.
Why would Han Sang-hee's classmates do this?
In fact, they would do the same thing to anyone else, since they are all classmates.
Moreover, Shang Xi has top grades, a cheerful personality, and, needless to say, undeniable, god-like beauty; her radiant appearance makes her hard not to like. I heard this friend is also a trainee.
High school students are at a stage where they fantasize about the idol profession. Han Sang-hee's existence perfectly fulfills everyone's fantasy of what an idol would look like in real life.
The students couldn't imagine who would dislike Han Sang-hee.
After finishing the last elective Chinese class in the afternoon, Han Shangxi went straight to the practice room to start practicing.
Han Shangxi applied to skip evening self-study sessions. The school teacher, knowing Han Shangxi was a trainee, approved the application. He had previously asked Han Shangxi about his future plans, and the teacher felt relatively reassured. However, while he could skip evening self-study, his coursework still needed to be completed.
The other two friends in the practice room were already practicing.
Lee Min-jin and Sung Ji-hye attend an arts high school where there are trainees among the students. Attendance requirements are not as high, and the school atmosphere is relatively relaxed.
Seeing Han Sang-hee quickly get into practice mode as always, Ji-hye and Min-jin exchanged a glance.
This friend has so much energy.
They had actually suspected that Sang-hee's time was based on a 48-hour system. Or perhaps this friend possessed a superpower to slow down the flow of time, or maybe Sang-hee was actually a robot that could regain its energy simply by recharging.
Okay, the subsequent speculations are indeed outrageous, like something out of a science fiction movie.
They achieved better results with less practice time than the others.
While admiring their friend, the two also occasionally reflected on whether their own efficiency was too low.
Let's try a little harder then.
After finishing her practice for the day, Han Shangxi began to eat her dinner: a bottle of milk.
Dinner was so simple not only because she wanted to maintain her weight while growing taller, but also because Han Shangxi had to hand in her composition assignment today.
She had contacted her teacher before, but unfortunately, Lee Sun-hee said she was not in the country at the time.
Han Shangxi then temporarily abandoned the idea of seeking advice from his teacher.
When Han Shangxi handed in his composition assignment again, he was disappointed to find no one there.
She was told by staff that the company president was currently busy with trainee selections overseas and was still abroad.
After thanking the staff for the information, Han Shangxi prepared to leave, but unexpectedly ran into the same person she had seen at the company president's place before.
President, is this a random location where GD-senpai (GD) appears?
"Hey, have you been studying composition lately?"
A note from the author:
----------------------
Sometimes, revealing someone's identity is entirely a matter of fate.
GD: I still have my observation skills.
In the early episodes, Sang-hee and G-Dragon were simply senior and junior classmates. Later chapters featuring supporting male and female characters will also be marked.
