When Li Youyan saw the news, he was wondering at the locked door outside the basement, what does it mean?The team leader, who was always not allowed to be late for rehearsals, sent a temporary message saying that he would not be coming today, and the rehearsal was cancelled.

Li Youyan approached Du Xian at the table and asked him if he knew the reason, and the person on the other end of the phone said with a trace of joy, "Fortunately, I drank too much with my friends yesterday, and I got up late in the morning, so I'll catch up on sleep first."

After hanging up the phone, Li Youyan looked at some rusty door locks. The door locks in this basement were not very secure and had been picked once, so they added a lock on the outside to make it look safer and more secure.

No one was in the mood to practice, so Li Youyan turned and left.

When she went out in the morning, she was still lamenting that the weather was so good today, and now she went out through the passage in the basement, and the moisture carried in the air was evaporated by the sunlight.

She came by bus, and it was still early, so she could save hundreds of dollars in bus fare by walking back slowly.

Although she lives in a house, she likes to walk and wander alone. She has almost walked through parks, streets, and the small places she lives in.

Passing by all kinds of people on the road, the melody of the earphones poured out in the cochlea, and thousands of people came and went, but it was actually very normal, and she was also very normal.If it wasn't for the weight of the guitar on her shoulders still reminding her, she really thought she was a part of it.

Shrouded by the city, bowing down for life, I almost forgot, or already forgot a part of my dream.

Pushing open the door and entering the audio-visual store, Jin Minhe was at the front desk pressing the calculator to settle the accounts, looked up, then lowered his eyes and continued to work on the matter in hand, "Come to change the strings?"

"Yeah." She took off the guitar and put it on the front desk.

"It just so happens that you're here, do me a favor," Jin Minhe handed her a roll of posters, "just go in and change the one on the far side of the door, and I'll change the strings for you for free."

"You never confiscated my money." Saying so, he took off the rubber band on the poster and slowly unfolded it. Li Youyan recognized that it was a member of Girls' Generation.

Jin Minhe temporarily put down what he was doing, took out the guitar from the guitar bag, and played it twice, "What's the matter, isn't your band rehearsing at this time today?"

"No row today."

She rolled the curly poster in the opposite direction and made it flat. She took double-sided tape from the counter at the front desk and pasted it around the poster.

"Hey, what's the name of your band?"

"Lemon's."

"Yes, Lemon's, didn't you say that you are going to release a CD this year? How are your preparations? At that time, I will make room for your band, and the poster at the entrance will be replaced by you." Jin Minhe moved Without stopping, the original strings were removed one by one.

Li Youyan was putting up a poster, turned his back to him and didn't reply, and asked after the poster was put up neatly, "Is this a new song from Girls' Generation? Why are there only three people?"

She usually doesn't pay much attention to these things, and just listens to music sources online, but she still knows the members of Girls' Generation in the second-generation girl group, and there are too many classmates around her who are their fans when she was studying.

"Girls' Generation's subunit TaeTiSeo came out at the end of last month. Their new song twinkle is pretty good. Haven't you heard it on the road?"

"Maybe I've heard it before." After putting away the torn old posters, Li Youyan sat on the high stool in front of the counter, fiddling with the cat objects on the stage.

"Just this one." Jin Minhe switched to that song on the computer, and with some retro funky style prelude, it came out of the bluetooth speaker in the store.

"I remember that when you came back to Seoul in 10 years to help me in my store, you were given a business card by SM's talent scout. That business card seems to be still in my drawer."

She was slightly surprised, after all, it happened two years ago, "You didn't lose it?"

"Let's leave it alone, I can still brag when I come to acquaintances, saying that my goddaughter is beautiful and talented, but she was spotted by SM's scouts."

After the strings were changed, Jin Minhe finally tuned her.

"Uncle Jin, are you right or wrong about my music dream?"

Jin Minhe was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Youyan, and followed her gaze to the poster she had just pasted on the wall, "What do you mean? It's not like what you asked."

I remember that when she returned to Seoul, even if she wanted to live and live alone, she was still full of enthusiasm, as if she wanted to fight music to the end.

"My band dream, music dream, and many of them's singer dream."

"Dreams are never right or wrong. I wanted to be a composer back then, but now I'm still the owner of a video store that relies on loans to maintain its business? It's just that everyone chooses different paths on the road of dreams, so there are Some people get lost, and some people realize it.”

Jin Minhe gave her the guitar, "Try it."

Li Youyan waved the strings and played a few chords, "I'm thinking about what my uncle's dream is."

"Zhiyun? That kid's road to chasing dreams is also bumpy." Jin Minhe seemed to be remembering something he had heard before, and shook his head in a funny and regretful way. "Hey, the road to music is not so easy."

For several days, Cao Chenghan's state was not right, and it was common for him to leave in the middle of rehearsals. Only the nervous person like Zhuo Duxian didn't notice the abnormality.

While Cao Chenghan went out to make a phone call again, Zhuo Duxian took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. "I think this kind of state is usually because of being trapped by love. It's probably because of a broken relationship. Just wait, I will ask the captain to go to the bar at night, and it will be resolved after getting drunk." It is also a team rule that smoking is not allowed in the rehearsal room. Xian committed the crime while the captain was away and too lazy to go out.

Smelling the pungent tobacco smell, Li Youyan frowned, "I'll go out for a while."

When I went out, I saw Cao Chenghan's figure. He walked towards the exit, and the corner of his clothes disappeared into the corner aisle.There was only that one road, so Li Youyan also walked that way, and before he got close, he accidentally heard his conversation.

"Is Dad feeling better today... Well, I know, I remember what I promised that day, but Mom, please give me some time, I really can't just leave now, I can't explain to my team members .”

After finishing the phone call, Cao Chenghan tightened his fists, unable to vent his boredom and powerlessness, he kicked down the wall viciously.After he took a deep breath to adjust his emotions, he saw Li Youyan as soon as he walked out of the corner.

"Youyan, you..." He froze in place, wondering how much she had heard.

Li Youyan looked directly at him, the shock in his heart continued to spread until his chest was blocked again in his throat, "You want to leave?"

Cao Chenghan met her questioning eyes, turned his head in just two seconds, and turned his back helplessly and entangled.

"You'd better make it clear, I hope I misunderstood what you said."

She herself didn't believe this, and asking again was just a temptation thrown out because she was too afraid of the truth.

"Youyan, I..."

Cao Chenghan took a deep breath, thinking of all the things he had faced in recent days, a sense of powerlessness swept over him like waves.He couldn't even say it, especially when facing her, Li Youyan who came back to Seoul without hesitation because she believed in herself.

"I, I'm sorry. You should be the one who abandoned me first. It's too difficult to make a decision. I can't do nothing, so I gave up first."

……

The chorus was not in the state several times, and the evening rehearsal also ended sloppily.

Li Youyan couldn't understand what Cao Chenghan said about giving up, until she followed him to the hospital and saw Cao's father lying in the hospital's ICU.

"How did it happen?" In the long corridor outside the hospital, Li Youyan's gaze fell somewhere on the ground, and he didn't want to see his expression at this moment.

"There was a problem with the business at home, and a car accident happened on the way to find a client, and the perpetrator escaped."

It may be that Cao Chenghan has experienced a major change in recent days, and Cao Chenghan suddenly became very heavy.Li Youyan wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat, and he tightly held the edge of the bench with both hands.

"I didn't know how expensive this place was until I came to the hospital, so my family doesn't have much spare money to let me make music. If something happened to my relatives, I couldn't rely on them. My mother asked a friend to find me a part-time job in the unit." Temporary workers, meaning let me take the civil service exam after graduation.”

Li Youyan turned his head to look at him, the first thing that robbed her of sight was Cao Chenghan's red eye sockets, he bit his lip hard, as if he was enduring all the injustices that befell fate, as if he was repenting for a dream that was too late to come true, but he didn't intend to forgive Own.

Cao Chenghan has already made a choice, and anyone facing this moment will make the same choice.Li Youyan couldn't say anything to refute, let alone make him give up something to hold on to the increasingly dwindling hope.

"I see." Li Youyan couldn't utter all the persuasion he had planned, and could only turn it into these four words. He didn't persuade, he didn't try to persuade him to stay, and he couldn't comfort him.

Before leaving, Cao Chenghan stopped her, and Li Youyan paused without looking back.

"Youyan, I gave up, I'm sorry."

In the middle of the night, I rented a basketball court in a park near the community. I kept slapping and dribbling the ball, and the basketball was thrown into the mottled and rusted basketball hoop again and again.

She seemed to be holding a breath in her heart, and she didn't know who to vent her anger to.Like a glue pipe blocked by someone, if you press the water outlet, if you don't let go, it will burst.

She was tired from beating, tired, and couldn't lift her arms anymore, so she stopped.Looking at the figure reflected under the dim street lights, the shadow also gasped for breath.Her mind immediately went blank at the moment, and then the sound of panting breathing, the sound of cars on the street, the sound of distant and unreal music... all broken and messy sounds, chaotic melodies intertwined, and finally white light flashed.

From Seoul to Daegu, from Daegu to Seoul, everything is back to the original point, and it seems impossible to move forward.

On the road separated by two green belts, a few people had just finished practicing in the company and were on their way back to the dormitory.

"Someone is playing basketball." Jin Taiheng saw sharp-eyed figures playing on a small basketball court in a nearby park. Although the figures were mostly covered by trees, they could still be seen.

Hearing his words, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at him.

"Why, do you want to play basketball? Go now, just borrow a ball from the other party." Park Zhimin said.

"No, I'm too tired from practicing all day today, and I can't lift my hands." Jin Taiheng shook his head decisively, "I just thought that when I was in school, I would look forward to the physical education class."

"Brother, me too. As soon as I start class, I start thinking about physical education, or art." Tian Zhengguo agrees very much, "But I don't play basketball very well."

"I'll teach you." Jin Tai put his shoulder on his shoulder, "I can also dunk."

Hearing his words, the others laughed unconsciously, not polite at all.

"Don't look at me, I'm not good at sports, but Taiheng, I really can't see that you can dunk." Jin Nanjun's truth caused Jin Taiheng to protest.

Jung Ho Suk said, "If you want to talk about basketball, it must be Yoongi hyung, our SUGA hyung."

Everyone knows that Min Yoongi's name is related to basketball, so they naturally know that he is very good at basketball.

"Hey, I haven't had enough energy to play basketball after the endless dance practice recently. I'm going back to the dormitory first. I want to be the first to take a shower." Those who had reacted looked at his back as he ran away.

"Ah, I want the first one." Jin Shuozhen was the first to react and catch up. "Yongqi, should I let my brother know first?"

Jin Nanjun followed closely, "Wait, I don't mind washing together, as long as I'm not the last one."

Who wants to be the last one to take a shower, wash up early, go to bed early, and play with the phone for a while.

"It doesn't matter, I'll go too." Jin Taiheng started to run forward as well, and the rest of Park Zhimin and Tian Zhengguo looked at each other and followed immediately.

Park Jimin: "Taehu, let's go together."

Tian Zhengguo: "Brother, wait for me." Don't bully him the youngest.

Just two seconds later, Park Zhimin's voice was heard again, "Why am I the last one, Tian Zhengguo, please slow down!"
