Chapter 62: Emptying Half of the Family's Treasury to Give Gifts
As she grew older, she no longer went to Quan Zhilong's dormitory as casually as before, so after that day, she didn't know much about the situation in their dormitory.
However, even though she knew that Kwon Ji-yong would stay away from people he didn't like, Ye-eun was still shocked when she found out that he hadn't spoken a word to one of his roommates for two months.
"Not a word!?" Yi Eun and Kwon Ji-yong were sitting in the company's security passage at this time. There were now two small chairs placed in the small passage which had almost become their secret base. Whenever they want to chat alone, they will avoid everyone and come here.
Quan Zhilong nodded seriously. He was the one who took the initiative to distance himself from others, but because of his childish face and droopy eyes, he seemed to be wronged. "You don't know how difficult it is to deliberately not talk to someone who hangs around you every day."
He thought back to the past two months he had spent with the boy. Although he is very young, he looks very smart. Even if I ignore him, he can still call me hiong with a smile without caring.
In fact, according to his personality, he can't keep a cold face when others approach him like this. However, for some reason, he just didn't like this boy.
Even though everyone thinks Lee Seung-hyun is smart, hardworking and has good vision.
However, he himself was sensitive by nature, and he keenly discovered that although the boy named Lee Seung-hyun looked sunny and positive, even compared to him, Lee Seung-hyun might be even more sensitive.
In addition, his family circumstances had changed a lot, and he became even more terribly strong-willed. I heard that he initially joined the dance troupe just to make money, not because he enjoyed it.
Kwon Ji-yong, who simply loves art, sighed. There is nothing wrong with wanting to make money, but he really doesn't want someone in his group who takes money too seriously.
After taking a bite of the apple, Quan Zhilong suddenly remembered the theory about apples that his mother told him when he was a child.
"What are you thinking about?" Quan Zhilong said something and suddenly fell into deep thought. She nudged him with her arm, "What about the other one?"
Another boy named Jin Duxuan, Quan Zhilong suddenly smiled and put his hand on Yien's shoulder despite her objection, "That kid looks a bit like you."
He ignored both of them from the beginning. Unlike Lee Seung-hyun who tried hard to please him, Kim Do-hyun didn't care at all whether he liked him or not and just trained as usual every day.
In this respect, she is really similar to Ye-eun, who doesn't care at all about what others think. It is also because of this kind of "love for the house and love for the dog" that Quan Zhilong has a pretty good impression of him.
Ye-eun's eyes curved, "How are you similar to me?"
Apart from being born in 1991 like me, there is no similarity between us.
"Well... just as silly as you." Under Ye Eun's angry glare, Quan Zhilong laughed, "Just kidding, he's not as brave as you to confront the president."
He propped up his chin and looked at Ye-eun, his eyes full of anticipation and nervousness, "The president said that we will film and record it at that time, and I don't know what form it will take."
Ye-eun glanced at him, the excitement in his eyes almost overflowing.
She pursed her lips and couldn't help but worry about Da Sheng. After all, everyone knew that Zhi Long and Yong Pei were basically a done deal, but Da Sheng...
"Ah! Why do you have that expression?" Quan Zhilong narrowed his eyes and looked unkind, "Lee Ye-eun, let me tell you, if I ever have to compete with Daesung, you're doomed if you dare to cheer him on!"
Ye-eun said nothing, Kwon Ji-yong's face was reflected in her clear eyes. When she blinked, her figure disappeared and reappeared.
Quan Zhilong came closer to her and held up her eyelids as if she was asking him to wake up. "Yes, that's it. You can only look at me then."
The tickling feeling on her eyelids made her smile, and Ye-eun took both of his wrists in her hands, "I know, I'll definitely stand by your side."
However, what came earlier than the filming was Kwon Ji-yong's college entrance examination.
In November 2005, on the day that Kwon Ji-yong and Dong Young-bae took the college entrance examination, Ye-eun took a day off. Kwon Ji-yong's entire family, including Ye-eun's family, were waiting in the biting cold wind.
Han Lanji was so nervous about her son's college entrance examination that she couldn't sit still. There is no halftime break in the Korean college entrance examination. All exams are completed in one day from morning to night. When they saw Kwon Ji-yong finally coming out of the examination room, everyone went to greet him.
"How did you do in the exam?" Quan Yinghuan asked as soon as he was hit by Han Lanji.
The exam is already over, why are you still asking questions! Han Lanji glared at her husband.
Seeing the interaction between the two, Kwon Ji-yong and Ye-eun looked at each other and laughed. Although Ye-eun cared about Kwon Ji-yong's grades before, they had also agreed that they would never ask how he did after the exam.
After a whole day of exams, even Quan Zhilong, who was used to high-intensity training, was exhausted. He took the energy drink from Ye-eun's hand and took a few sips before he felt alive again.
"I'm so hungry!" He frowned and touched his stomach. How could overusing the brain be more tiring than training? "Let's go eat something quickly!"
Unlike her daughter's college entrance examination when she accompanied her for the entire year, Han Lanji had almost no involvement in her son's high school career. She wiped her tears and said, "Okay, let's go have a good meal this year."
Several parents walked in front. Quan Zhilong hooked Yien's neck and raised the corner of his mouth confidently, "Get your gifts ready!"
At that time, they agreed that if Kwon Ji-yong could be admitted to high school and college, Ye-eun would use her own money to buy him gifts.
When he received the dance mat from Ye-en after graduating from junior high school, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still kept it as a treasure.
He wondered what Yeen would give him this time.
Ye-eun glanced at him, "So confident?"
Quan Zhilong nodded, his eyes slightly raised, "Of course, I always do well in every mock exam, okay?"
"Hey~" Ye Eun stretched out the last line of the sentence, but her hands behind her back had already quietly stretched out, "Squat down a little."
Although he was confused, Kwon Ji-yong still bent his knees slightly until his eyes were level with Ye-eun, and looked at Ye-eun intently.
Ye-eun glanced at him, turned her head and put the two chrome hoop earrings in her hand on his left ear.
The two earrings were put into her ears one after another. Kwon Ji-yong felt her fingers pinching her earlobes and pulling them down gently. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. Yi-eun actually prepared a gift at this time.
The small earrings are expensive. It is difficult for trainees to save money. This pair of earrings almost used up all the savings of Ye-eun from her years as a child model. She pinched Quan Zhilong's left earlobe and muttered, "After all, this ear hole is a gift from me. Wearing it here is like spending half of the money on myself..."
Otherwise it would be really heartbreaking!
Quan Zhilong laughed, raised his hand and held her hand that was pinching his ear, his eyes were full of happiness, but he pretended to complain, and pretended to take off one of the earrings with his other hand: "But who would wear two earrings on one ear and none on the other?"
His hand was held by hers, and Ye-eun glared at him, "Don't switch it, or I can convince myself that half of it is mine!"
"Hey~ But it's all on my ears. Isn't it very expensive? You look distressed."
"Ah! If you know it's expensive, stop talking about it!"
"Isn't it my money this time?"
"Did your phone receive the message? If not, give it back to me!"
As they were walking, the parent suddenly noticed that the voices of the two children behind him were getting farther and farther away. He turned around and saw Yien with one hand on Zhilong's earlobe, and Zhilong holding her hand. The two were arguing loudly about something.
"...Didn't you say you were hungry?" Kwon Jae-hwan scratched his head. To be honest, he was very hungry after waiting for his son for a whole day.
Han Lanji has gradually become plumper over the past few years and has cut her hair short. Seeing the two children like this, she smiled gently, "Oh my god, these two children."
Li Zhen also laughed, "It's just like when we were little. Don't wait until Zhilong is made to cry by Yien again. I won't apologize now."
In the eyes of both mothers, children are always children, but Kwon Duomei was a little surprised. It was okay for them to fight and quarrel when they were young, but now one is almost sixteen years old and the other is almost nineteen years old, and they still get along with each other in the same way as before.
The more Quan Duomei looked, the more she felt something was wrong. "Mom, give me your camera."
Duomei, who is already in college, has started a relationship at an early age. She found it funny and surprising to see her brother looking at Yien so tenderly. She adjusted the angle and took a photo of the two when they were not playing around.
Both of them were particularly sensitive to the camera and finally reacted after being pointed at by the camera. It was cold in November. Ye-eun looked down at herself dressed like a big fat bear and yelled at Da-mi-unnie, “Unnie, stop taking pictures!”
Quan Zhilong didn't care at all. He stood behind Yi Eun, hooked his hands around Yi Eun's neck, put his chin on Yi Eun's head, raised two fingers and smiled even brighter at the camera, "Smile quickly, or you will look uglier in the photo."
Yien, who was firmly controlled by Kwon Ji-yong, complained in her heart, "Of course you don't care, you deliberately hid behind me!"
However, in order to maintain her image, she still smiled, raised her right hand to the camera, and made a "yeah" gesture, "Kwon Ji-yong, happy graduation!"
Quan Zhilong responded with a smile: "Lee Ye-eun, please stop growing taller!"
Kwon Ji-yong who is 178 said to Ye-eun who is 168.
The next second, the newly frozen picture showed the brother's face in pain. Kwon Da-mi looked at the photo for a long time before she realized that Ye-eun had stepped hard on Ji-yong's foot.
"...Really." Quan Damei shook her head, threw out her previous thoughts, and complained to herself, "Forget it, they can't be sweet together for more than two minutes."
The Korean college entrance examination is over and Kwon Ji-yong does not need to go to school for the next six months, so he can devote himself to training.
In 2006, the seven people who entered the final selection hurried home to celebrate the New Year and then returned to the company for training. Two months later, SBS-MTV staff installed fixed cameras in their dormitories and practice rooms.
Except for Kang Daesung, who had to go to school every day because his father did not support his music career, everyone was filming almost all day.
She could feel the urgency every time Ye-eun walked past their practice room with Park Chun-eun on her arm.
"Even Seventh Brother, Huixing Oppa, and Gummy Unnie have gone to teach them..." Ye Eun secretly lay beside the door frame, and her heart rose when she saw that it was SE7EN who was teaching Kwon Ji-yong, Dong Young-bae, and Kang Daesung again today.
The SBS staff were used to seeing the two girls secretly watching. These two girls are very famous in YG. They are both famous for their beautiful looks that don’t look like those of people in YG company. Besides that, the younger girl seems to be very familiar with Kwon Ji-yong.
At least her figure has appeared several times in my own materials.
Ye-eun didn't notice the TV crew looking at her, but instead looked inside with concern. SE7EN was always very strict in the past, and he became even stricter when facing his younger brothers who were about to debut. I heard that they all called SE7EN "Director Choi" in private because of their fear of SE7EN.
People in the practice room lined up to show SE7EN their practice sessions, and Dong Young-bae and Kwon Ji-yong passed them easily.
But when it came to the loud sound, it got stuck.
"Da Sheng, what's wrong with you? Put more emotion in it. Imagine this scene, all the girls are surrounding you, you are the heartthrob." Although SE7EN is strict, he never speaks as harshly as the president. This time, his words made several people laugh.
Da Sheng got into the company thanks to his superior voice. However, after he got in, they discovered that this kid knew almost nothing about pop songs except the one he prepared for the interview.
He tried to imagine in his mind the feeling of being surrounded by everyone, but when he sang it again, SE7EN was still not satisfied.
"Haven't you ever been in love and seen a pig run? How will you do in the final assessment if you keep doing this?" SE7EN sighed. How come he couldn't sing with emotion when he had such a good voice? "There are so many girls who like you at the entrance of the company, why can't you sing?"
He murmured loudly, "I don't know... I can't imagine and sing at the same time."
“Then where can I find someone to help you get into the mood?” SE7EN shook his head helplessly. He couldn’t just go outside and look for loud fans.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. SE7EN shook his head helplessly, and then he met Yeen's clever eyes. His eyes lit up. Isn't there a girl who likes Dasheng?
He waved at Ye-eun, "Oh, you're just in time. Come in."
Ye-eun blinked confusedly and pointed at herself, "Me?"
She glanced at the two TV station staff inside. When her eyes met, the other party had already lowered their heads to adjust the equipment. It seemed that this girl was also somewhat famous.
SE7EN doesn’t care about the shots, because they will all be edited out anyway. If the president doesn't want this part, it will be cut. What's important is to let Da Sheng find his emotions. He nodded and raised his eyebrows: "Come in quickly, why are you pretending to be shy."
Since he said so, Ye-eun trotted in and asked curiously, "Is it okay for me to just watch Daesung-oppa?"
"Yes. Look at me more affectionately." SE7EN pointed in front of himself, "Stand here."
Ye-eun, who was also taking acting classes at the company, quickly got into the mood. When she looked up at Kang Daesang, her eyes were as if she was looking at the person she admired and loved the most.
Quan Zhilong took a look at her expression and frowned. Even though he knew she was acting, he still felt uncomfortable seeing her look like this towards others.
Ye-eun’s acting is great, and Kang Daesung immediately got into it, and the first line he sang again had a slight sense of satisfaction of being admired.
Seeing SE7EN nod, he became more confident and continued singing. However, at this moment he noticed the burning gaze beside him and he couldn't help but glance over there.
“……”It’s over! I forgot that there is a Yeen Duwei here. Will I still be able to live a good life after this class? In an instant, Jiang Dasheng's originally brewing emotions disappeared instantly.
He even trembled a little when he sang it.
SE7EN frowned, not noticing his gaze shift, and immediately called a halt when he heard this: "What's going on? The first sentence was good, but the second sentence made you tremble like you were caught cheating?"
The whole audience was silent.
Dong Young-bae couldn't hold it in any longer and coughed twice. The SBS staff member glanced at a few people sharply and his mouth twitched.
