" Ji Jingyuan frowned, glancing sideways at Wu Shixun with an unhappy expression. He clearly didn't want to."Of course not." The manager immediately denied."Oh, what kind of look is that Don't you thi..."Well, it's been a while, everyone must have worked hard." Kim Jun Mien broke the silence first, casually said a few words and then went straight to the point:
"Let's prepare for the group stage in a few days first. The company has added some new choreography for this stage, and there will be a teacher to demonstrate it to us later. For now, practice the old dance."
Both teams of EXO members hesitated for a moment before slowly making their way to the center of the practice room. Kim Junmyeon connected his phone to the speakers, and the music from "MAMA" started playing. Everyone immediately began dancing along.
This dance practice just looks awkward no matter how you look at it. The two teams each have their own rhythm, and the overall impression is very chaotic. It's definitely not the "knife group dance" that ** groups pride themselves on.
It's more like a bunch of amateurs cheering each other on.
There's no way around it, the two teams haven't practiced together in a long time.
After their debut, the two teams were very different. Each person had their own thoughts and couldn't cooperate for a while, it seemed like they were just two separate groups of people at this time.
He jumped several times, but not only was there no improvement, the atmosphere grew worse and worse.
Several times during the dance, they stumbled and bumped into each other. During their footwork, they collided several times, hands hitting feet. The practice room's tension only grew with each incident.
Finally, someone couldn't hold back their annoyance.
"Oh, you just hit me with your hand and now you stepped on me. Was that intentional"
After being stepped on several times, Byun Baekhyun finally snapped and yelled at Do Kyungsoo who had just stepped on him.
Do Kyung Soo glanced at him, then shifted his gaze elsewhere without saying a word.
"Is this how you treat your older brother After not seeing each other for a while, your popularity hasn't increased much, and your manners have disappeared. No wonder EXO is like this in the peninsula now."
When Bian Bai Xian saw Do Kyung Soo's appearance, he was immediately enraged and started an AoE attack.
He said out loud the thing that bothered every member of Team K the most.
"Well, just say what's on your mind. Why all this beating around the bush Did you have a lot of people at your signing event"
Park Chan-wook's face was full of impatience. He frowned and replied.
"Isn't this your fault And isn't this the truth Look at how you practiced like this" Bian Baekhyun stood his ground.
What does practice look like You don't think you dance well, do you
"Damn it, you... (*&……% ) &&**()."
A few exchanges weren't pleasant and quickly escalated into an argument. Both sides were very angry, ready to explode at any moment.
The three from Xia Guo usually never get involved in these things, but this time the situation was a fight between K team and M team. As members of M team, they couldn't just stand by.
Captain Kim Jun-myeon was also in a bad mood. After trying to mediate for a few sentences with no results, he also turned his face away.
On both sides, the argument escalated, becoming physical. Park Chan-yeol and Baekhyun pushed each other a few times.
Seeing that things were about to escalate, Chi Jingyuan, who had been sitting idly by, sighed and tapped the wall with his mineral water bottle. "Calm down," he said in a cool tone.
Okay, stop fighting.
This kind of thing can't be said to be right or wrong for anyone, it's just a release of emotion.
Several members of Team K, including Doyoung, Sehun, and leader Kim Junmyeon, shook their heads and sighed after hearing Ji Kyungwon's words. They stopped arguing with Team M and stepped back to sit on the wall.
And Park Chan-lyeok and Kim Jong-in hesitated for a moment, then also withdrew.
One sentence calmed the K team members down quite a bit, you could tell they really valued Pool Kyung-won's opinion.
The three Korean players from Team M saw that they couldn't win, so they breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled their teammates back. Jin Jong-dae and Kim Seong-sik also took a step back accordingly.
Only Bian Beran was relentless, still rapping and demanding apologies from the K team members. His words were quite harsh and included a lot of inappropriate language that went against harmony.
And K team's few people sat silently against the wall, watching him with cold eyes.
If you really can't speak, then it's fine to stay silent.
Chi Jingyuan tilted his head, chuckled lightly at Bian Berhyun, and said in a flat tone:
That way, you'll also appear a little smarter.
"Ugh..." Bian Baekhyun was instantly enraged, feeling a surge of violence, but he was quickly pulled back by the other five members of M team.
He struggled for a few moments, but couldn't free himself.
The other members of Team M were all witnesses to the Wu Saik incident and knew Park Kyung-won's combat ability. They didn't want to let Bian Bo-hyun go up there to die.
Furthermore, the team immediately retreated after a single statement. Even the captain, Kim Jun-myeon, gave them face. They all could tell that Ji Kyung-won's status was extraordinary.
Even the furious Byun Baekhyun right now can't tell.
Both sides sat on either side of the practice room, quietly attending to their own affairs.
The brawl was thus defused, and after a while the earlier anger dissipated. However, the atmosphere was still very bad.
Wu Shih-hsuan grinned and gave Chi Jing-yuan a thumbs up, while Jing-yuan just pursed his lips and gave him a wry smile.
Soon, the dance instructor arrived at the practice room, leading them through a special dance they had prepared for the stage.
No one mentioned what had just happened, as if nothing had occurred.
……
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and today is May 13th.
At this moment, EXO-K had just finished recording Inkigayo on SBS. After saying goodbye to the senior artists, they arrived at the parking lot and were about to leave the television station and return to their company.
They had a signing event the day before yesterday, and yesterday they recorded MBC's 《Show! Music Core》.
The response wasn't much, but it was pretty tiring.
"Then I'll go first."
As they reached the parking lot, Ji-yeong and his manager, Lee Seung-hwan, along with the members, said their farewells.
Today is his birthday, the second brother called him home for a meal. He hasn't been back for a while, so he asked the company for leave to go back and celebrate.
If an ordinary member requested a leave, it might not be so easy. However, Park Ji-won is not an ordinary member.
"There's an advertisement shoot tomorrow afternoon, don't forget the time." Lee Seong-hwan nodded and got into the van with the other members.
After seeing them off, Ji Jingyuan got into the car driven by Pu Zaixian. He said hello and the car started driving towards home.
Park Jae-hyun drives very steadily, but at this time Seoul was experiencing rush hour traffic, with cars of all sizes filling the roads completely.
Given this traffic condition, it's estimated that taking the subway would be much faster than driving.
"Ding."
Sitting in his car, Chi Jingyuan received a congratulatory text message from Sunny.
"When are you coming back to the company I had someone bring your birthday present to you. (￣︶￣) "
Chi Jingyuan smiled and shook his head in reply:
"Thank you, Nada, but I'm going home today. I won't be back at the office. (￣▽￣)"
"Well...then let's meet and I'll give it to you. I have a birthday party on the 15th, in the evening. Come, I'll introduce you to some seniors. (*^▽^*)"
"Is she the kind of senior who is particularly beautiful at first glance"
You'll find out then, I'll send you the address tomorrow.
"Inside."
After Sunny sent the text message, Ginger's text came shortly after. Pool Jingyuan also replied.
Several members expressed their congratulations in person earlier this morning.
Actually, he doesn't really care about his birthday anymore. The older he gets, the less important it seems to him. If it weren't for his second brother calling specifically, he wouldn't even bother going home.
After getting home, I had dinner with my family. It was similar to last time, with my eldest sister coming back specifically to see Chi Jingyuan. She left before we finished eating.
Erge Chi Jingxu is usually quite serious, but when he sees his younger brother, he immediately becomes carefree and playful. He always tries to tease him, and I don't know what's wrong with him.
