Chapter 16Chapter 16 Shinning
President Hong distributed Han Yunxing's evaluation results and trending topic data to everyone present. Ultimately, more than half of the people agreed to push Han Yunxing to debut as a solo artist.
It feels like the discussion meeting just happened yesterday; time has suddenly sped up.
Han Yunxing spent her 2016 birthday in a busy schedule. During this time, in addition to her daily practice, she also had to cooperate with the company to select songs and finalize visual plans with the stylist.
When Sun Anmei received the song submitted by Han Yunxing, she was actually a little surprised. Although the details needed to be refined, it was already a relatively complete and melodious ballad.
After receiving the reward from the Star-Making System's advanced creative course, Han Yunxing further refined the ballad, and the finished product was already quite good.
Sun Anmei also informed the higher-ups about this talent.
Upon hearing the producer's feedback, President Hong believed it was a potential marketing point. He said that as long as Han Yunxing could deliver a high-quality song, the company would be willing to include it in the album.
Of course, this also means that Han Yunxing needs to compete with other professional producers. In short, Han Yunxing is both painful and happy in her search for inspiration.
Han Yunxing is packing her things now.
The company has arranged a new training plan for her. Han Yunxing is no longer training in the A class practice room, and her schedule is also conflicting with Yun Qi and Jin Zhiyu's during this period.
In order not to disturb them, Han Yunxing decided to move back home, where the commute wouldn't be too long.
"Unnie, I will always cheer for you!"
Yunqi looked at Han Yunxing packing his things, her eyes filled with reluctance.
Han Yunxing was her best friend during her trainee days. Although she was a little disappointed about her own uncertain future, she was genuinely happy for Han Yunxing.
Han Yunxing stood up and gave Yun Qi a big hug.
Kim Ji-woo remained silent, her head bowed, her expression unreadable. When she heard Han Yoon-sung say that he would treat everyone to dinner later, she finally couldn't hold back her emotions any longer and burst out.
"You always have it so easy."
The cold tone made Han Yunxing feel a little flustered, and she stood up straight, staring blankly at Kim Ji-woo.
My impression of Kim Ji-woo has always been that of a gentle person.
"You come from a good family, and your family supports you..."
"If you know someone influential, there will always be someone paving the way for you."
"You don't care at all about the opportunities you've missed!"
"Because you'll soon have a better option!"
Kim Ji-woo looked at Han Yoon-sung, her chest heaving violently, speaking faster and faster, her eyes turning red.
Han Yunxing's lips twitched slightly, but the words stuck in her throat, neither coming out nor going down.
I never expected Kim Ji-woo to think of me like that.
"I try my best to seize every opportunity! I...long to stand on the stage." Kim Ji-woo paused, looking into Han Yoon-sung's eyes, seemingly puzzled yet saddened, and said, "Yoon-sung, sometimes I'm confused. I don't see your determination to be an idol. It's like you're just completing a task..."
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere froze.
These words were a bit too much, and Yunqi, looking left and right in the middle, tried to smooth things over.
"Ji-woo..."
"I'm sorry... you guys go eat tonight."
Kim Ji-woo touched her face, turned around, and went out.
Yun Qi turned to look at Han Yunxing with some concern: "Ji Yu unnie has been under a lot of pressure lately, she didn't mean it that way..."
Unable to find words of comfort, Han Yunxing forced a smile and shook his head at the somewhat helpless Yunqi, indicating that he was alright.
Yunqi ended up having dinner at Han Yunxing's house.
Han Yunxing had ordered the ingredients well in advance, planning to have hot pot at home together.
Although some changes have occurred, he still led Yunqi home.
"Yunxing, don't overthink it, you were born for the stage!"
The two girls were drinking juice today, and Yunqi and Han Yunxing clinked glasses.
"May we all stand on the big stage! Cheers!"
Han Yunxing took a breath, raised the glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
In the middle of the night, Yun Qi had already gone back to her guest room to sleep, but Han Yunxing couldn't sleep and was staring blankly at the balcony railing.
Han Yoon-sung unconsciously replayed the events of the day in his mind, and repeatedly pondered Kim Ji-woo's words.
It's okay. Actually, Han Yunxing knows that Kim Ji-woo's parents have been calling recently, and given her unstable exam results, it's normal for her to be in a bad mood...
Han Yunxing knew.
But... but I still care a little.
Han Yunxing understands that she is lucky to have been given a second chance at life, to enjoy the care of her family, and to have a system to help her plan her career development.
For her, family and friends are the most important things in this life. She didn't think too much about her dreams. Since there's a star-making system, she might as well become an idol.
Is that really the case?
No.
Over the past few months, Han Yunxing has been unable to forget the pure joy that music and dance bring, and she longs to stand on the stage.
Recalling the fans she met during street performances and at the airport, Han Yunxing still wants to work hard to meet her fans on a bigger stage.
Although she had come to terms with it, Han Yunxing was still a little sad. She subconsciously took out her phone to call Kwon Ji-yong.
But ever since Han Yunxing's birthday, the two have inexplicably stopped contacting each other.
The tour is very busy.
Han Yunxing pouted, but ultimately didn't press the call button. She turned around and walked straight to the audio-visual room at the very end of the corridor.
The next day, Yunqi found Han Yunxing's body among a pile of papers; she was asleep on the table.
When Han Yunxing was woken up, her back was stiff, and she made a cracking sound as she stood up.
However, she was in an exceptionally cheerful mood.
Finally! She has created a song she is satisfied with!
In the early hours of the morning, Han Yoon-sung watched the Big Bang movie in the home theater, seeing them shine on stage and feeling their genuine care for their fans.
A vibrant stage, not a mass-produced, two-way love, made Han Yunxing think further about the meaning of idols.
Sometimes inspiration comes in a flash.
The little girl's eyes were still red, and as she pulled out a tissue to sniffle, a melody popped into her head.
After smoothly writing the lyrics and music in his home studio, Han Yunxing lowered his head and fell asleep.
As soon as she arrived at the company and parted ways with Yun Qi, Han Yunxing went straight to the 6th floor to continue composing the music based on her inspiration.
When Sun Anmei received the master tape, the little girl's hair had been ruffled into a mess, and her dark circles under her eyes were particularly noticeable on her fair face.
"Yunxing, did you stay up all night?!"
Although Han Yunxing looked haggard, her eyes shone brightly as she carefully and attentively put the headphones on her teacher.
It's a song that will make you smile involuntarily, with Han Yunxing's warm and bright voice telling the story gently.
Meeting, companionship, joy, and growth after tears...
“Like vitamins,” Sun Anmei took off her headphones, savoring the song. “Is it a song for the fans?”
"Um!"
Han Yunxing's eyes were bright, her earlobes were tinged with red, and the corners of her mouth were turned up.
The song is called "Shinning".
*
Han Yunxing's song has been submitted for selection, and in order to adapt to the intensity of her schedule after her debut, she now has to do a lot of physical training every day.
Panting heavily after completing all the actions, Han Yunxing wiped the sweat from her face and turned on her phone.
Before Han Yoon-sung could even feel disappointed, she noticed the apology sent by Kim Ji-woo after sharing the demo with Kwon Ji-yong on Kakao.
Staring at the message, Han Yunxing ultimately didn't reply.
A month later, Yunqi messaged her, and Han Yunxing learned that Jin Zhiyu had ultimately followed her parents' wishes and gone back to school.
Han Yunxing will also be studying, and will officially end her leave of absence and return to school in September.
Unlike most trainees who went to an arts high school, Han Yunxing returned to her previous high school to continue her senior year.
Preparing for her debut prevented her from attending classes on time every day. She could only discuss with her teacher about returning to school periodically to take exams, and she would do her homework diligently during the week.
Fortunately, Han Yunxing's life record book contained a lot of information, enough to meet the requirements of university interviews.
Now, Han Yunxing takes time to complete her homework every day after returning home. The weight of these two burdens has caused her to lose a lot of weight, and recently her bone structure has become more prominent, making her face more delicate.
"Yunxing, a Thai unnie has recently moved in~"
After finishing their physical training, Han Yunxing and Yun Qi agreed to have lunch at the company cafeteria.
Hearing Yunqi's sharing, Han Yunxing was also a little curious. She hadn't been very well-informed lately and didn't know that a new trainee had joined the company.
"She's a really nice person. Let's have a meal together sometime!"
Seeing Yun Qi's bright eyes, Han Yunxing nodded with a smile.
"That's right!"
Yunqi patted her forehead. How could she have forgotten about that!
Let's go support Soyeon unnie this weekend!
Tickets for Produce 101's performances have already gone on sale, and as loyal fans of Jeon So-yeon, Yun-ki and Han Yoon-sung naturally wouldn't miss it.
After agreeing on this, the two went their separate ways to train.
The concept for Han Yunxing's debut album has been discussed and finalized.
"Luminous" is a song that shines brightly, and Cube Entertainment hopes that Han Yoon-sung will become the focus of public attention.
Despite their high aspirations, the company remains conservative about a female solo debut. The album's title track has already been decided: a pop dance song that appeals to a wide audience.
Han Yunxing spent the past few days working on her dance moves with the choreographer, but finishing the lessons doesn't mean the end.
Behind every performance on stage lies hundreds or even thousands of rehearsals.
Han Yunxing now has a lot more drive; she wants to do better. Sometimes she leaves the company very late and can still see one or two fans waiting for her downstairs.
It's autumn, and there are so many mosquitoes.
Thinking of the people who support her, Han Yunxing practiced even more diligently.
After returning home and finishing her homework, Han Yunxing finally had time to deal with the messages on her phone. Not seeing the reply she was looking for, she scrolled through her phone for a while before going to sleep.
Han Yoon-sung didn't receive Kwon Ji-yong's reply until the afternoon of the following day.
【praise】
Han Yunxing has evidence that Kwon Ji-yong is just going through the motions with her, and thinking about his recent attitude, she feels a little uncomfortable.
[Is Oppa tired lately? He's so cold TT]
Recently, Han Yoon-sung has been posting messages from Kwon Ji-yong only every now and then. Although both of them are very busy, this has never happened before…
Kwon Ji-yong has finished his Hawaii tour and is now relaxing at a club with the other members.
Staring at the messages on his phone with mixed feelings, G-Dragon covered his face and sighed deeply.
Ugh, this is a bit tricky.
