Chapter 1 Sick Leave Notice
“Hello everyone, this is SJY EMTERTAINMENT.
The following is an announcement regarding the health status and future schedule of Amanecer member Shine (Jiang Shen).
In May of this year, Shine went to the hospital because she was in poor condition, and was experiencing symptoms of tension and anxiety during her schedule. After diagnosis by a professional medical institution, Shine was told that she needed sufficient rest and recuperation.
Regarding future activities, after sufficient discussion with Shine and the members, it has been decided that Shine will not participate in the production of the new album and world tour in 2026, and will announce again when she can return in the future.
We hope that fans will understand as this sudden news may have caused them to worry. For the regretful fans, Shine's self-made single "With Me" will be released at 9:00 tonight. I hope fans will support it.
In order to show a better look in front of fans, Shine will take full rest. Our company will also do its best to support Shine so that she can return to her fans in good health. Once again, thank you to the fans who have always supported Amanecer. ”
Ren Fenghe stared at the weverse announcement for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.
There was still a remnant of a smile on her face.
That was the excited smile when he saw amanecer win all three major awards during the live broadcast of the MAMA ceremony and achieve the honor of seven crowns.
As per convention, the members would give words of thanks after the ceremony. Ren Fenghe was ready to rush to comment immediately, but he didn't expect that the first thing that would appear would be a notice of sick leave.
Ren Fenghe stared at the words "symptoms of tension and anxiety" on the screen, as if he wanted to know more about Jiang Shen's current condition through the screen, or as if he was trying to recall whether Jiang Shen had shown any discomfort in recent activities.
As she looked and thought, her hands and feet became cold, and pain surged from the center of her chest to her throat and eye sockets, and a thin layer of mist filled her eyes.
Jiang Shen hasn't appeared in Weverse for a long time. Is it related to his illness?
But how could one get sick? He has been behaving very normally during this period. Fans also said that he has managed his body better during this period and he can produce amazing photos in any photo.
So it turns out that it wasn’t body management that caused him to lose weight due to illness.
A mess of lines formed into countless knots and appeared in her mind, and then turned into the black and white buzzing sound of the TV.
Ren Fenghe stared at the screen numbly for a long time before he received the members' thanks and encouragement to Jiang Shen, but Jiang Shen, who was on sick leave, had not sent any message.
Realizing that Jiang Shen would not send a message, she finally put down her phone. Like a ghost, she opened the door without making any sound, brought the dinner on the small table beside the door into the room, ate a few bites, then took off her prosthesis, took a shower, and fell on the bed.
She heard the nanny, Aunt Wang, come in quietly, but ignored her.
Aunt Wang put her prosthesis back to the bedside and took the food away.
The rustling noise became louder and softer, and Ren Fenghe felt annoyed. She pulled the quilt over her head to get some quiet, but in the quiet she began to have tinnitus and even felt dizzy.
Before carrying the food out, Aunt Wang couldn't help but say, "Feng He, you eat too little."
She didn't wait for Ren Fenghe's temper when he was in a bad mood, nor did she wait for Ren Fenghe's perfunctory response when he was in a good mood. A quilt covering his head completely isolated Ren Fenghe from the outside world.
Ren Fenghe was completely immersed in sorrow.
She didn't know how long she had been lying there. She reached out for her phone to check the time. It was eight o'clock, which is equivalent to nine o'clock in South Korea.
She opened her phone and the group website immediately downloaded Jiang Shen’s new song MV, along with the translated Chinese lyrics.
"With Me" is an all-English song. Ren Fenghe turned on the song on loop, put his phone aside, and listened to it over and over again.
Jiang Shen's voice surrounded her, bringing her some emotional comfort, but after the comfort, she felt even deeper and stronger sadness. The tears that she had been holding back flowed down her face to her ears and then to the pillow after hearing Jiang Shen's singing.
Ren Fenghe was tired of crying. Her self-protection mechanism made her emotions suddenly become very calm. She closed her eyes, and her cheeks, which had become tense due to her tears drying up, pressed against the quilt, and she fell asleep unknowingly.
In the dream, it was a scene that Ren Fenghe had recalled countless times.
In 2023, KPSO Dome, the first World Tour.
Ren Fenghe had never thought about participating in this world tour, let alone going to Korea to watch a performance.
She had completely forgotten what she was thinking at the time. She might have been thinking: I have to make full use of the membership gift and experience the feeling of buying tickets in advance with my colleagues.
She knew very well that even if she got the ticket she would not go to see it, and she also thought that with her hand speed, which had never been used to grab tickets, she might not even be able to buy one for the top of the mountain.
As if he was joking with himself, Ren Fenghe decided to go directly to the first row of VIP seats in the backstage.
It was clearly just an experience to grab tickets, but as she sat in front of the computer and watched the countdown clock tick by, her body gradually leaned forward towards the screen, her heart tense and her arms inexplicably sore, as if she had fought hundreds of times on the ticket grabbing website.
The smartwatch I always wear on my wrist shows that my heart rate is rising.
My heart rate reached over 130, but the ticket grabbing hadn't even started yet.
Ren Fenghe's fingers gradually became cold, and she didn't dare to breathe heavily, for fear of affecting her ability to watch the countdown.
The time is almost up, almost up.
As time was approaching, she didn't even dare to breathe normally.
The alarm clock, which usually went silent without making any sound, ticked loudly in Ren Fenghe's heart when the second hand pointed to 0.
Then, a sum of money was charged to the credit card and an extra ticket appeared in the wallet.
A ticket for the VIP seats in the front row.
She had been rejected by the world so much that she had to undergo amputation, but now the world has shown her favor for once.
The ticketing website, which has always been criticized by domestic fans, actually let her get in smoothly without any accidents. She was prepared to see that there were hundreds of thousands of people queuing in front of her, but the magical thing was that she went directly to the seat selection page.
Almost in a dream, she gave the money in a daze.
Ren Fenghe shook his head to sober up, then looked at the ticket in the ticket folder again.
Are you going? Or transfer it to a co-worker?
There are still two months before the concert. She has never tried to go abroad alone, and she does not have a visa for South Korea. The muscles in her right leg stump may still be atrophying, so she will probably need a prosthesis by then...
She could give many reasons for not going.
But……
Ren Fenghe zoomed out of the website page, and a group photo of Amanecer was displayed on the computer screen. In the photo, the members were playing and joking, and were in high spirits.
But if you don’t go, you will definitely regret it. Isn’t it fate’s guidance that you can get the first row?
If you haven't applied for a visa, please send the documents now. I have had a prosthesis on my right leg for a year, and the muscles have atrophied to a certain extent, so it doesn't necessarily need to be replaced.
All the reasons that she had just thought of were rejected by Ren Fenghe one after another. With the courage and impulse that emerged from nowhere, she booked the flight and hotel and found an agent in one go, and sent out the prepared visa materials that day.
Her family was busy with their careers and didn't pay much attention to her affairs. They said, "Just make your own plans," and didn't say anything else. But Aunt Wang, who had been taking care of her, looked at her worriedly for a long time and said, "Feng He, can I go with you?"
Ren Fenghe finally set off with Aunt Wang.
She was glad she went.
She wore long sleeves and long pants to hide her prosthetic limbs and the scratches and scars on her body. She received a lot of materials delivered by her co-workers.
Sitting in the venue, she felt the surging love from other fans for the members, and she couldn't stop smiling. This love beat into Ren Fenghe's heart through the drum beats in the speakers. Countless love filled this huge venue. When love touched love, one plus one was greater than two. Her love for the members became stronger and stronger.
It was her first time watching a concert, and the three and a half hour concert passed in the blink of an eye. When the surroundings became quiet, she thought the performance was over, but suddenly streamers and balloons fell from the sky, and the members rushed out from the stage again, jumping and dancing for an encore performance.
Ren Fenghe started to cry for no apparent reason.
She was so happy, so happy that she forgot the itchiness of the skin where the prosthesis touched her body, so happy that she could already imagine the strong feeling of emptiness that would surge up after the performance.
She kept wiping her tears with her sleeves, which wet her cuffs. She was laughing and crying, looking extremely miserable.
The members on the stage sang while looking at the cheering boards and cooking. They even walked off the stage to interact closely with the fans.
At this time, Jiang Shen came to Ren Fenghe's area.
He took out a handful of candies from his overalls with big pockets and scattered them out like giving out gifts, which in turn brought excited screams and waving from fans.
Ren Fenghe didn't scream. She kept staring at Jiang Shen. Her eyes were blurred with tears and she couldn't see his expression clearly.
But she saw a beaded bracelet appear in front of her.
Ren Fenghe quickly wiped her tears and found that it was Jiang Shen who took off the beaded bracelet on his wrist and handed it to her.
"Don't cry."
Ren Fenghe took the bracelet, and her vision, which had just become clear, became blurred again, and she cried even harder.
Jiang Shen shook his head helplessly and interacted with other fans for a while. Soon, it was his turn to sing. He jumped up again, raised the microphone, and walked to other areas while singing.
Ren Fenghe clenched the beaded bracelet in her hand. The fans around her looked at her with envy as she cried with a red face. At this moment, she forgot all the pain. At this moment, she is a perfect person and the luckiest person in the world.
I will never forget this moment, Ren Fenghe thought.
Fortunately she came, Ren Fenghe thought again.
After the performance, the crowd was crowded and Ren Fenghe sat in her seat for a very long time, until most people in the venue had left. Only then did she get up and walk out.
When the sound that was resounding throughout the venue quieted down and the temperature of the surrounding seats cooled down, Ren Fenghe suddenly realized that this was a dream.
She was in a dream.
She looked around at the scattered ribbons and the few balloons that were stuck in tricky positions and not taken away by fans.
How come Jiang Shen, who loves the stage, suddenly developed panic disorder?
Dreamers who are aware that they are in a dream naturally have the ability to control their dreams.
She wanted to find Jiang Shen, even if it was Jiang Shen in her dream, she wanted to say to him a sentence that she might have heard countless times.
"Jiang Shen, I will always support you. Thank you for choosing this career."
Ren Fenghe walked out, and a door suddenly appeared in the museum.
She looked at the door in confusion, not understanding why uncontrollable things appeared in her dream, but she still opened the door and walked in.
After opening the door and entering, two rooms appeared in front of her. The door of the room with open door was her room, and the door of the other room was closed.
“Can anyone help me?”
A young girl's voice came from the closed room.
