…
The post has only sparked a small discussion within the VIP community so far.
Just as Han Yunxing finished liking Kwon Ji-yong's post using her private account, she received a message from Yun Qi.
They wanted to discuss the street performance again.
Han Yunxing leaned back in a recliner by the window, discussing the details with Yun Qi while occasionally jotting down her thoughts on her phone.
"I think the song 'Summer Vibe' really suits your voice..."
“…”
"This song? It's a bit too full; it would be tiring for two people to sing it."
“…”
The song selection and part assignments were almost finalized. Yunqi was about to say something to the other end when she heard a man calling Han Yunxing to go eat through the microphone, so she hung up the phone.
After lunch, Kwon Da-mi was called away by her studio, and her parents also went out to meet friends, leaving only Han Yoon-sung and Kwon Ji-yong chatting in the living room.
Are you very busy lately?
When Kwon Ji-yong came over to call Han Yoon-sung for dinner, she was on the phone. He overheard her talking about the end-of-month assessment.
"Yes, I'm a bit busy~" Han Yunxing pouted and lowered her head.
As if struck by a thought, Han Yunxing blinked her big eyes at Kwon Ji-yong, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Kwon Ji-yong leaned back, letting his strength dissipate, and slumped onto the sofa, covering his face with his hands, and said in a muffled voice, "What do you want to see me about now!"
"Hey~ It's no trouble at all!"
Han Yunxing quickly moved closer, resting her chin on the edge of the sofa and looking up at the man in front of her.
"Oppa, could you recommend some speakers and a microphone? I'm thinking of having them custom-made recently~"
When the conversation turned to professional matters, Kwon Ji-yong sat up straighter and sent several business cards to Han Yoon-sung on his phone.
"You have a performance coming up soon, doesn't the company provide the equipment?"
Kwon Ji-yong knew that Han Yoon-sung had signed with Cube Entertainment as a trainee. Cube Entertainment wasn't a small company, so there was no reason for the trainees to prepare equipment.
"They're going to perform on the streets of Hongdae."
Han Yunxing didn't know how to explain Task 3, which was beyond the scope of the end-of-month assessment, so she just said that she would be going to do a street performance in a while.
Kwon Ji-yong nodded and reached out to touch Han Yoon-sung's head as she leaned against the sofa.
"Oppa, I feel like you're touching my breasts!"
Han Yunxing slapped away the hand that was messing with her head and glared angrily at the person in front of her who was smiling with parentheses in front of her.
Kwon Ji-yong's eyes were sparkling with laughter, and his brows revealed a touch of gentleness.

Back to practice life, time always flies by.
Han Yunxing contacted the manufacturer through the business card. The microphone and speakers that she had ordered some time ago had been delivered to her residence. She asked Quan Zhilong, who lived upstairs, to help her inspect them.
However, Kwon Ji-yong has a very busy schedule recently, and he went on tour in China in just a few days.
During this time, Han Yunxing has been working hard to improve her rap skills. In addition to learning from the company's teachers, she also frequently consults with Quan Shaoyan.
She would occasionally ask Kwon Ji-yong, but he was quite busy, and during his breaks, he would selectively answer Han Yoon-sung's questions.
Kwon Ji-yong was also somewhat surprised. He originally thought that Han Yoon-sung had become a trainee out of curiosity and would eventually return to school.
However, during this time he would occasionally receive rap snippets from Han Yunxing. Han Yunxing was very talented, her rap flow was very interesting, and her melody was also very good.
In the end, Kwon Ji-yong even invited Han Yoon-sung, saying that if there was a chance, she could come and sit in his recording studio.

On this day, the trainees of Class A finally got to record their street interviews.
Although they had the opportunity to appear on screen, the company did not provide them with dedicated makeup artists and costume designers.
However, it's understandable that the company doesn't want to waste unnecessary money on trainees.
The trainees got up early to get ready.
The entire floor was filled with the laughter and chatter of girls, and every now and then several girls would come out to visit and try to get some cosmetics.
Han Yunxing applied a smoky eye makeup look to herself. She used a low-saturation apricot eyeshadow as a base on her eyelids, blended a pearlescent dark brown eyeshadow from the inner corner of her eye to the outer corner, and then layered a gold-toned pearlescent powder on top.
She emphasized the beauty mark at the corner of her eye and applied a thin layer of pumpkin-colored lipstick to her petal-shaped lips, highlighting the girl's cool and aloof demeanor.
Han Yunxing curled her hair into big waves again and walked to the mirror to look at herself.
Her outfit today was very eye-catching. She wore a white sleeveless vest, paired with red retro American street style trousers, and white chunky sneakers.
Quan Shaoyan and the others looked at Han Yunxing with amazement. They rarely saw Han Yunxing with such exquisite makeup. Now, the already eye-catching girl was even more eye-catching, with a touch of charm in every gesture.
Jeon So-yeon and Kim Ji-woo knew a while ago that Han Yoon-sung and the others were planning to perform in Hongdae today, and they even promised to cheer them on.
However, since the trainees in Class A now have to travel in different PDs' cars, the few people in the dormitory had to say goodbye first.
Han Yunxing and Yun Qi bent down to get into the car and leaned forward to greet the PD and the accompanying staff.
The PD, who was installing the equipment, stopped what he was doing and looked at the two people in front of him with satisfaction.
Before the shoot, he received photos of the subjects, who were even more attractive in person, and he had high expectations for the shoot.
On Tuesday morning, pedestrians on the street were few and far between, hurrying along.
The accompanying staff attached recording equipment to Han Yunxing and Yun Qi's collars.
The PD was all set up. After saying "start the machine," Yun Qi and Han Yunxing looked at the scattered pedestrians on the street with some confusion.
The first street interview experience was novel, and the two of them didn't know how to proceed.
But they couldn't just stand there, so Han Yunxing pulled Yun Qi along and walked forward in small steps.
"Excuse me, may I have the opportunity to do a short street interview?"
Qiaoqiao was woken up by a phone call from her tutor, and after a quick wash, she rushed to the school for a meeting.
When I was suddenly called to a stop, I turned around and saw the camera. I hurriedly covered my face with my hands and fumbled for a mask in my bag with my other hand.
Han Yunxing and Yun Qi moved slightly to block the camera for Qiao Qiao.
As Qiaoqiao looked up, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I need to get to school as soon as possible."
Qiao Qiao majored in media studies and had a lot of coursework to do, so he was very understanding of his colleagues and would try his best to cooperate with any street interviews he encountered.
But today is just unfortunate...
Oh, what a coincidence! Isn't that Miss Doll?
Han Yunxing and Yun Qi were a little disappointed, but just as they were about to politely say goodbye, they heard the person in front of them hurriedly say, "Ten minutes is fine!"
"sure!"
Yun Qi and Han Yunxing exchanged a glance, very excited. This was a great start!
"We are both trainees and would like you to hear us sing a song. We also look forward to getting your valuable feedback."
Han Yunxing and Yun Qi smiled broadly, and Qiao Qiao was captivated by their smiles. Suddenly, a clear and warm voice pulled her back to reality.
They prepared a song by their senior group – "Remember That".
The intro is sung by Han Yunxing, whose bright and clear voice instantly transports you to a warm springtime.
Yunqi's mesmerizing smoky voice followed immediately.
Warm spring is always accompanied by sad memories, so should we continue to move forward?
At this moment, Han Yunxing and Yun Qi's harmonies brought the song's atmosphere to a climax.
I am still living in sad memories, but I long for the warmth of the next spring.
After the song was finished, Han Yunxing and Yun Qi waited nervously for Qiao Qiao's comments.
"It's really good," Qiao Qiao cleared her throat, "I'm completely captivated, it's such a moving voice~"
Han Yunxing and the others bowed deeply to Qiao Qiao in gratitude.
"Perhaps he's a trainee at Cube?"
Upon hearing Qiao Qiao's guess, Han Yunxing and Yun Qi secretly glanced at the expressions of the staff members beside them.
Han Yunxing smiled without saying a word, blocking the view around her, and quickly winked at Qiao Qiao.
Qiaoqiao had a little devil churning inside, but she had to keep her composure and smiled as she said to them, "I hope you debut soon! I'll be cheering you on!"
While the PD was confirming the footage, Han Yunxing and Yun Qi stopped Qiao Qiao, who was about to leave, and handed her several invitation tickets.
"We have a singing performance at Hongda this afternoon. If you have time, we look forward to having you and your friends come to the show!"
Upon receiving the invitation, Qiaoqiao readily agreed, "I'll be there! I wish you a successful performance!"
With the first interview completed, the subsequent street interviews proceeded smoothly.
All sorts of people are listening to themselves sing.
This gave Han Yunxing a genuine sense of joy.
Among them, many people offered sound advice.
There are also some people who care about them, know that the training life is tough, and wish them a speedy debut.
After filming wrapped, Han Yoon-sung treated everyone to coffee.
The PD and staff praised them for the fast shooting progress and beautiful visuals today.
Filming here has come to an end. Han Yunxing called the Han family's driver and asked him to transport the sound equipment to the vicinity of Hongdae.
During this period of training, Han Yunxing did not contact anyone from her family except for occasionally sending letters to her brother's army.
When I contacted the driver, I received a lot of words of concern from him.
The two sat in the coffee shop for a while, enjoying the air conditioning. During the street interviews, Han Yunxing and Yun Qi had distributed about forty or fifty invitation tickets.
"I hope half of them can come."
They quietly went through the playlist, and when the outside temperature dropped a bit, the two decided to head to Hongdae. Before leaving, they carefully checked their makeup and hair one last time.
