"call……"
Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, Ming Jingnan was stunned for a second until Chi Jingyuan hung up the phone. Then he put down the phone and pursed his lips with some disappointment. He pressed the back of the phone case with his fingers a few times, but finally he couldn't help but bit his lower lip sadly.
When she first learned that Chi Jingyuan had forgotten the anniversary backstage at the TV station, she felt really sad. She just felt that her enthusiasm had been wasted.
But later, her relationship was exposed. After feeling her boyfriend's care and concern, she felt relieved a lot. She thought that it didn't matter even if Chi Jingyuan didn't remember this incident. At the same time, she always stood from Chi Jingyuan's perspective to explain it for him, and she was also comforting herself, and she got through it.
But tomorrow is the 23rd, and it is exactly days since the fireworks festival. She said before that she didn't care, but girls in love pursue romance and details the most. Now that the time has come, she still can't help but have strong expectations in her heart. She wonders if her boyfriend is teasing her on purpose, or if he suddenly remembered it... And even if he really forgot, it would be nice if he could make time for a date.
But this phone call was like a bucket of cold water, which extinguished all her enthusiasm.
Xiaonan looked at the '23rd' marked in red on the calendar on his phone, and felt a little depressed.
Gen-chan...it seems like I really forgot.
…………
The next day, the 23rd, Twice did not have too many group schedules. The nine people came to JYP company in the morning to hold a meeting to announce an extremely important matter. After lunch, they returned to the practice room to prepare for several important stages at the end of the year.
After an intense dance, everyone was panting and sweating. The whole practice room was filled with the smell of sweat and body fragrance. Combined with the hard working air conditioner and heater, the room was filled with the smell of hormones that intoxicated the opposite sex.
After going to the bathroom, several members sat down in groups of three or four to rest. Ming Jingnan sat there quietly, looking ahead with a pouty mouth in a daze. After a while, she came to her senses and looked listless.
Although I was really excited to know that Twice will hold their first solo concert since their debut this morning, after preparing for such a long time and on such an important anniversary, I could only stay alone in the practice room, and my beloved boyfriend didn't show any reaction at all. Even though I was mentally prepared, when the day really came, I couldn't help feeling lost and felt completely exhausted.
She glanced at the phone in her hand. The text message she sent to her boyfriend during lunch had not yet received a reply. She thought he was probably still in the album production meeting.
Then Ming Jingnan couldn't help but glance at the white sky outside the window... The weather in Seoul has not been very good in recent days. The temperature is very low, getting colder day by day.
It started snowing lightly in Seoul this morning, making it the coldest day in recent days.
Thinking of the scarf in her locker that she had knitted for more than a month, taking advantage of every opportunity during her busy schedule, Xiaonan couldn't help but sigh softly.
But...it doesn't matter.
Mingjing Nan pursed her lips and controlled her emotions. The feeling of loss in her pupils slowly faded away. She blinked, opened her phone and started looking through her old photos.
Although her boyfriend’s reaction was a big blow to her who pursues romance and is very sentimental...it did not affect her love for Yuan-chan at all!
While amusing herself by flipping through the photos of the fireworks festival saved on her phone, she listened to the other members' conversation...After learning about their upcoming concert at the meeting in the morning, most of the members were in a very excited state and had been talking about it since lunch.
"Do we have enough songs? I just thought about it for a long time, and I feel that if we want to hold a concert, are our songs a little insufficient?"
"It seems a little short. We have only released three mini albums so far. Not counting the songs that were added in to make up the number, there are only about ten songs in total, and the hit songs are only the main ones."
"Then if the performance time is not enough...will the company invite some guest singers for us?!"
"Wow, that's a great idea, who would you like to invite?"
"Hmm...how's IU-senpai?"
"What a great idea! Then add EXO, Girls' Generation, the company's seniors 2PM and GO7 to join in the fun."
"(`へ)~ What? I'm serious!"
“Haha, forget it. We can’t have any guests!… But before I left the conference room, I heard Sangmin-oppa discussing with the concert design team. They said they would add a few special covers of boy band songs to the show. Guess which song it will be…”
Just as Mingming Minami was listening to the sisters next to her chattering excitedly about the concert, Minatozaki Sana came over leisurely and sat down next to her, taking the opportunity to glance at the enviable romantic photos in Mingming Minami's phone.
She didn't know how many times she had seen these photos here in Mingjingnan. Every time she looked at them, she still felt that they were extremely romantic and beautiful, making her feel envious involuntarily...especially in recent times.
However, Minatozaki Sana didn't say anything. Instead, she came over and asked in a low voice with some concern: "Jingyuan Oppa... he still didn't say anything?"
She is the only member of Twice who knows the whole story of Mingjing Minami and Ji Jingyuan's relationship. She personally experienced their first meeting and acquaintance at the club and the police station, witnessed Mingjing Minami's rise from a fan girl to a dream girl, and knew that the two were together at the fireworks festival on August 8th. She also knew that today is the 15-day anniversary of their relationship.
She was well aware of Mingjing Nan's sentimental and romantic personality, and she also saw that this little sister had spent all her rest time knitting scarves as gifts.
She was speechless when she heard her mention something that Chi Jingyuan seemed to have forgotten a few days ago, but today, seeing Ming Jingnan looking so listless, she immediately understood and felt indignant. She couldn't help but complain to Chi Jingyuan.
...This man isn't entirely without merits.
...How can a couple in love forget such an important day? Do you really care about Mina-chan?
"..."
Mingjing Nan put down his phone and shook his head slightly.
Although she was touched by the concern of her little sister, she still felt a little uncomfortable because her boyfriend forgot their anniversary. After a pause, she took the initiative to help Chi Jingyuan explain: "Yuan-chan has been too busy in recent days. He is busy with his personal solo album... He is still in a production meeting."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Minatozaki Sana blinked her eyes: "Jingyuan Oppa is busy with solo matters~"
Seeing Mingjing Nan's certification, she suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up and she continued, "By the way, Mina, didn't we meet XO backstage at MMA a few days ago? At that time, didn't you say Jingyuan Oppa looked so tired, as if he hadn't woken up yet, and didn't even say hello? Do you remember?"
"Yeah." Ming Jingnan nodded and looked at her curiously... She was still quite impressed by the tired look of her boyfriend when she met him backstage that morning.
"I forgot to tell you before... Later when we were chatting, I heard Sehun oppa say that Jingyuan oppa seemed to be busy with some collaboration song. He worked overtime at the company until late every day during those few days."
After a brief description, Minatozaki Sana asked curiously, "...Is this collaboration song also a song from his solo album?"
It was the first time that Mingjing Nan heard this and was a little surprised. Before he could say anything, maybe because Minatozaki Sana's voice was a little louder and attracted the attention of the members next to her, Yu Jeongyeon looked over and continued:
"Yes, yes, yes... I heard from Sehun oppa that Jingyuan oppa was very busy those two days. He had a bad cold and worked overtime until very late... He was in such a hurry. So it turned out to be a song from the solo album?"
Lin Nayeon, who was present at the time, remembered it and became interested. She clicked her tongue and agreed, "What song is it? Who are you going to collaborate with? You're so dedicated~"
The others also heard the discussion of these people and focused their attention. They interrupted and asked, "Who are you going to cooperate with again?"
"Mina, do you know?"
The popularity of "really really" the collaboration song between Ji Kyung-won and his own members is still fresh in our minds. Through this collaboration, a new popular member like Yu Jeongyeon was created, and there are many loyal female fans among them. The other members saw this and had different thoughts and feelings about it... but they were all envious of the same thing.
Upon hearing this, many people became very curious.
Zhou Ziyu, who was standing by, secretly pursed her lips after hearing this.
In the past, when the team discussed EXO and Ji Jingyuan, she always listened happily, and if there were any questions about Ji Jingyuan, the members would usually ask her.
...But now, everyone goes to ask Ming Jingnan.
Ever since their relationship was exposed within the team, these changes in details made her feel the disparity in the world... Even though she has been passively adapting to these, she still feels uncomfortable and depressed every time she encounters them.
"what……"
Facing the curious questions of the members, Mingjing Nan was completely unable to answer. He looked around blankly and said in a confused voice: "I don't know."
She felt a little confused for a moment... She didn't hear Yuanjiang say this~
Seeing that his girlfriend Ming Jingnan said she didn't know, the others stopped asking and just started discussing it on their own.
“…Jeongyeon-unni, when did you hear about this?”
"That day, after MMA finished rehearsing in the morning, I ran into Seulgi and the others and chatted with them. A little later, XO also came back from rehearsal, and chatted with Kyungwon and the others for a while..."
"..."
Mingjing Nanzheng was listening to the conversation of Yu Jeongyeon and the others in confusion, and Son Chaeyoung also came over. It seemed that she could see that she was not in a very good mood. She took the initiative to invite her with her little tiger teeth: "Ouni, if you have nothing to do in the afternoon, let's go get a manicure together! Somi recommended a very good shop to me."
As she spoke, she looked at her fingernails and muttered, "I have to shoot the MV for Melody Project tomorrow, so I want to make my nails look nicer..."
Minatozaki Sana immediately raised her hand in agreement...but Naito Minami didn't really want to go. As a stay-at-home girl, apart from her boyfriend and buying daily necessities, there were few things that could pull her out of bed.
Just when a group of members were discussing their own things, the door of the practice room was suddenly pushed open. The sound of wind interrupted the noise inside. All the members immediately looked over and greeted the person who came after seeing him.
"Oppa~"
"Um……"
Manager Jin Shangmin was standing at the door, nodding at them, but his expression didn't seem very gentle. He looked around as if he was looking for someone, and then his sight quickly locked on Ming Jingnan. His eyes were slightly complicated, and he gently waved: "Mina, come with me."
When he heard that someone was calling him, Ming Jingnan was stunned for a second, but soon nodded, stood up and walked over.
As if she noticed that her manager's expression when looking at Mingjing Nan was a little strange and worried that something bad might happen, Minatozaki Sana asked with concern: "What's the matter, Oppa?"
"..."
Glancing at Mingjing Nan who was approaching, Kim Sangmin waved at Minatozaki Sana and the other members who were looking over and said, "Nothing, just a collaboration with Mina..."
He didn't elaborate, just nodded to Ming Jingnan and walked out with her, leaving a group of girls behind to discuss the matter curiously.
……
"Mina, how are you feeling about work and life lately?"
While waiting for the elevator in the corridor, Jin Shangmin seemed to be concerned about Ming Jingnan's recent situation as usual, but when he looked at the child next to him who spoke in a low voice but had a very likable temperament and personality, his tone was a little complicated and a little intimate.
"Yeah... everything is fine, Oppa."
Although the agent was concerned, Mingjing Nan would not really offer any suggestions. She just glanced at him, pursed her lips and replied in a low voice.
Ming Jingnan was feeling very confused at this moment, wondering why this cooperation suddenly came up.
"Well, your schedule has been quite full recently, so it's normal to feel a little tired. This is your rising period, and you will feel more relaxed after a while..."
"at the same time……"
After a few words of comfort, Jin Shangmin remembered his purpose this time, and his heart was a little complicated. He didn't say much, but just sincerely reminded: "In addition to private life, you still have to focus more on your career..."
"I know Oppa."
Ming Jingnan nodded when she heard this...she could probably understand what the agent meant.
Following the agent all the way to the music room, Mingjing Nan said hello to the music teacher waiting there, and then sat down next to the computer under the teacher's arrangement. At this time, Jin Shangmin's voice of explanation came to her ears: "The reason I called you here this time is because... SM sent an invitation for a collaboration song..."
"It's a Japanese song..." When talking about the 'Japanese song', Kim Sang-min's tone seemed a bit strange: "Because the song is of excellent quality and... it fits your positioning and Twice's future development focus, the company has accepted it."
"Here are the music score and lyrics... Listen to the demo first and then download it. I'll let Nan Zhixi guide you later, and then you can practice on your own when you go back..."
Kim Nam-ji is the music teacher here.
After putting on the headphones, Mingjing Nan took the music sheet handed over by the teacher. Before she had time to look at it, she heard that it was a "collaboration sent by SM", and it was a Japanese song...
At that moment she paused, as if she was struck by lightning and even her breathing stopped for a moment. Then in the next second, her heart trembled violently and began beating wildly uncontrollably.
An idea and guess popped up in her mind that she couldn't believe, but she hoped for it very much.
She tried hard to suppress the surging emotions in her heart, and slowly looked at Jin Shangmin with her clear eyes. Her voice seemed a little hoarse, but she still pretended to be calm and asked tentatively: "Who is the SM partner?"
Although she pretended not to care, her beautiful eyes seemed to be able to speak at this moment. The light flashing in them was hoping and begging the agent to tell her the answer that popped up in her heart.
Jin Shangmin looked at this girl who was usually quite low-key in the team with some complicated feelings, but also with some appreciation and admiration, and said directly without keeping anyone in suspense: "It's Jingyuanxi~"
When Ming Jingnan heard this name, the melodious music in her headphones also rang out. The voice engraved in her heart sang her familiar mother tongue, like a wisp of clear spring water or a torrent of waterfalls, and gently passed into her ears:
“I still think about it now.”
“The coast I looked at that day, the words carved on the beach… and your back.”
