The Human Comedy

Han Geng--

Heechul is fine, taking his mother and daughter to swim in the West Lake, I am so happy, I am alone in this desert shooting commercials, it is so desolate.In the hotel, I sometimes look at a desert in the distance in a daze. The power here is insufficient and the signal is not good. I can only read a book or be in a daze when I have nothing to do.Fortunately, there are only a few days, and I can finish returning to Beijing tomorrow, and then I can go home and have a look.

It must be interesting for Heechul to travel with his mother and daughter, right?I don't know what kind of sparks these three people will collide with.

I still remember when I saw Heechul for the first time, to be honest, my impression was not very good.

~~~~~memories~~~~~

At that time, I had been in Korea for a while, and I didn’t have many friends. I just hang out with Junying every day. At that time, he was already a very popular trainee, and he was quite prestigious among us. Being with him made me both A little bit of pressure, but also a little bit of a feeling that I can rely on. Junying takes good care of me. When others despise me because I am a foreigner, he always helps me. This makes me feel that a person in a foreign country is not so helpless. help.

Once we came out of the practice room after practice, just in time to meet another group of trainees coming out of the corridor over there, and the trainees behind us pointed to one of them and whispered: "Isn't that Kim Heechul?"

I looked up and saw that the one surrounded by them had yellow hair, big eyes, and a high nose. They looked very good-looking, and they were the most outstanding trainees I had ever seen.It's just that his expression was very proud, he glanced at us, turned his head away in disdain.

"Cut, what are you pulling?" Junying pouted disapprovingly and whispered.

"What? Is he very powerful?" I also asked in a low voice.

"Oh, I've already started filming a TV series, it's very popular, and the company attaches great importance to it," Junying said.

"Junying, you are also very good, aren't you also very popular?" I patted him and comforted him.

"Brother, work hard, and you must surpass him in the future!" Junying patted me instead and said encouragingly. I smiled and didn't say anything. There is a smile on her face, as if there is a special feeling, maybe a long, long time ago, as early as the first time we met, many things were already doomed.

Later, we met several times in the company. Every time, Junying and I were together, and Heechul was with some young children. They called him 'Brother Heechul' very affectionately. He doted on them very much, and that made people somehow envious.

Once, at a restaurant near the company, Junying and I went to eat after practice, and happened to meet Heechul eating with a young trainee.When we walked in, Heechul glanced this way, looking at Junying, then turned back and continued talking to the child opposite.

Junying pulled me to sit a little far away from them, as if deliberately avoiding them, I was a little puzzled, but I still didn't say anything, and ordered food.I know that there is a lot of competition among the trainees. People as good and strong as Junying and Heechul will not be willing to fall behind. Although there is no direct conflict, it is inevitable to regard each other as competitors.

There were some other trainees in the restaurant, and they were a little surprised to see us walk in, and then they continued to discuss their affairs. I heard a few people at a nearby table talking about something, which seemed to be about Heechul.

"That Kim Heechul hangs out with Zheng Yunhao every day, the company values ​​him so much, and Yunho also gets a lot of credit." A person said sourly.

"That's right, but the two of them... It is said that they have an unusual relationship. You see, Kim Heechul dresses up like a girl every day."

"I heard that Zheng Yunhao also helped him fight, and the two of them live in the same dormitory. It's really hard to say..."

Listening to the content was a bit strange, I glanced at them, and one of them gave me a stare, I looked at Junying puzzled, Junying seemed to have heard it too, turned back and stared at them, they immediately lowered their heads and shut their mouths.

"Junying, what are they talking about?"

"Brother Han Geng, there is a lot of competition among trainees, so speaking ill of others is also a way to slander others' reputation, as if you are a good person, cut." Junying said disdainfully, rather than telling me It is better to listen to them than to listen to them.

"Oh, I mean... that Kim Heechul... what kind of person..."

"You have to know what kind of person you are. Hearsay is wrong. Brother, don't be like some people. They don't have their own opinions." Junying continued to sarcastically.

"Ah! Jiang Junying, what do you mean by that?" The man over there exploded, dropped his glass and stood up, glaring at us.

Junying looked back at him calmly, "It's not interesting, I'm not talking about you, why are you excited?"

"Ah! You..." The man pointed at him speechlessly, "Don't think that you are very powerful, no one cares about you, you are just a little popular, why are you arrogant?"

"I don't dare to be arrogant, at least I won't be like some people who gossip behind others' backs, especially when they are present." He said and glanced in Xiche's direction.Heechul and the others also noticed us and looked up.

"Hmph, that's better than you. I hang out with that Chinese who doesn't know where he came from all day. Don't we have any Koreans in our company?" The man's disdainful tone angered Junying.

"Ah! What's wrong with the Chinese? A Korean like you will only embarrass us! Compared to you Koreans, Brother Han Geng, who is a Chinese, is more worthy of liking."

"Hmph, so it turns out..." The man smiled, and looked at Heechul again, "So you are the same. I heard it a long time ago, and you have a different relationship with him, just like Kim Heechul and Jung Yunho. "He said, pointing to me behind Junying.

"What are you talking about? Bastard!" Junying was furious, and went up to give him a lap. The man fell down instantly, and the people around him were also a little scared. They didn't dare to act rashly when they saw us.

"What are you doing?!" Heechul, who was watching, also stood up, walked to us and looked at the person who fell on the ground, "Eating a meal is really disgusting."

That person looked at Heechul, then at Junying, a trace of regret flashed across his expression, he offended two powerful trainees all of a sudden, he couldn't bear it, and he would definitely not have a good life in the future.

"It seems that there are a lot of rumors about me in the company. That's what happens when I'm popular. I can't help it." Heechul sneered, and said narcissistically. There will be no one else but Kim Heechul.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know, aren't you just jealous of Brother Heechul?" Yunho on the side also spoke up, "Gossip about others when you don't have the strength, what kind of talent is it? Let's use your kung fu on singing and dancing. "

"Don't make yourself so pitiful, look in the mirror and see what you look like, you really don't need to come here again, it's a waste of time and the company's resources." Junying said unforgivingly, I He tugged at his sleeve and shook his head at him.One person lifted the person who fell on the ground, and several people walked away in despair.

Heechul looked at Junying, then looked at me thoughtfully, then dragged Yunho back to eat.No sign of friendliness, more like a different kind of challenge.

That seemed to be the first time Xiche and I looked at each other face to face. There were other people around us, but that strange feeling was always lingering, as if this person would leave something in my life, with With this feeling, Kim Heechul slowly came into my life.

Afterwards, I met many people and made many new friends. I met Zaizhong, Donghai, Hezai, and Shindong... and then I was assigned to that dormitory.I thought that Junying would always be by my side, but in the busy life, we spend less and less time together, so Jaejoong appeared, I thought that Jaejoong would always be by my side, but he was selected TVXQ moved out of the dormitory.At that time, I was very lonely and helpless. I didn’t have many friends when I was alone in a foreign country. It was not easy to meet friends like Junying and Jaejoong. Now they can’t be by my side all the time, which makes me somewhat disappointed.

What made me feel even more stressed was that I was assigned to that dormitory, the one where Heechul lived.Maybe that's what many people wish for, but for me, I moved in with trepidation and caution.It's not that I'm afraid of anyone, but I just feel that I'm going to share the same room with the legendary Kim Heechul. I don't know what the future will hold, whether he will embarrass me, or how I will get along with him. If he hates me , the consequences will be very tragic, because the trainee who spoke ill of him in the restaurant last time has never seen him in the company again.

So on the first day I moved in, I was very careful. The moment he opened the door for me, he was surprised, and then let me in. I walked in with a light luggage, but he didn't want to help me. Meaning, just stand aside and watch, point to the room inside and say, "That empty room inside is yours."

I put my luggage in and came out to greet him, "Hi, I'm Han Geng, please take care of me from now on."

"Oh, Han Geng, I know." He shook my hand expressionlessly.

"You know me?"

"Yeah, the company specially selected it from China, everyone knows." Still expressionless.

"Oh, my Korean is not very good..."

"That's just right, I don't like trouble, and I can't talk so as not to disturb me." Before he finished speaking, he interrupted me and said, "By the way, and, although this is your dormitory, it is our shared space. Please pay attention to your own behavior, just don't disturb others. Also, I love cleanliness, so even if your own room is messy, keep the living room clean, you know?"

"Oh, I know, I will, that..." He spoke very fast, I could only understand the general meaning, and I heard that he was not easy to get along with, but I didn't expect that as soon as we met...

"Also, you are from 84, right?"

"Yep."

"I was born in 83, do you know if you want to call me 'Brother'?"

"Oh..." I nodded half understanding, what's going on?The first time we meet, it's a blow to your Majesty, right?But I don't have the same knowledge as you. It's not easy to hang out alone. My principle is to endure as much as I can. Anyway, calling me brother will not lose a piece of meat.

"Understood, brother Heechul." I nodded and said, "I will pay attention." I don't know why, when I said this, I didn't have a bad mood, but a feeling of deliberate obedience.

"Well, that's good." He nodded with satisfaction, pointed to Ki Bum who was playing games on the ground and said, "That's Kim Ki Bum, and there's Lee Dong Hae, I'll be back in the evening, the four of us are living together now, you just need to know gone."

"Oh," I looked at Ji Fan who was playing games and stopped for a while, then turned to look at me, "Hi, I'm Han Geng."

"I'm Jin Kibum, hello Brother Han Geng." He smiled brightly, which made me feel a lot better. Just now, seeing him standing there without looking up, I thought he was not easy to get along with. Seeing such a brilliant Smile, as if dropping a stone.

"Don't worry, they are all very cute little brothers," Heechul said when he saw my expression, "They are all easy to get along with, but I am not easy to get along with, you have to be careful." Then he patted me on the shoulder and replied own room.

I stood there and breathed a sigh of relief, Kibum continued to look at me, and said comfortingly, "Brother Han Geng, you don't have to worry too much, Brother Heechul has a sharp mouth and a bean curd heart, although he speaks very viciously, but he is a very good person." Then continue Turned to play the game.

"Oh, that's it..." I was still a little worried. I'm not so afraid of any kind of heart, but I'm more afraid of the mouth of a knife. With my Korean ability, I'm afraid... there will be challenges in the days to come.

Sometimes I wonder if Kim Heechul and Kim Kibum are blood brothers. Although one can speak well and the other can't, their thinking is so difficult to understand.One didn’t understand him after talking a lot, and the other couldn’t understand him without saying anything, so Donghae was the first to get close to me. Although he also said that Kibum and Heechul are very good people, it’s just that It just looks a little strange, I think, it will take time to verify it.

I live in the same dormitory without incident. Sometimes I will cook for them, and I will also take the initiative to clean up the room and living room when they are playing.So suddenly one day Ji Fan said with emotion, "Since Brother Han Geng moved in, our dormitory has become much cleaner."

I occasionally go out to find Junying or Juju in Zhongju. Both of them are very busy now, which makes me happy for them, but also a little disappointed in myself. When can I realize my dream like them? How about shining brightly on stage?

I was very depressed during those days.One day after practice, I bought a few bottles of beer and went back to the dormitory. I wanted to drink some beer to relieve my boredom, but I saw Xi Chul drinking alcohol, still soju, in the living room alone.He saw me coming in, looked at the beer in my bag, and wanted to say something, but he didn't. I knew he wanted me to drink with him, so he put the wine on the coffee table in the living room and sat down with him. around.

He took the glass and poured wine into his mouth, and asked, "Are you back?"

"Oh, Brother Xiche." I looked at his blushing face, as if he had drunk a lot, and saw that there was an empty wine bottle next to him, he seemed to be in a bad mood, drinking alone Woolen cloth.

"Is there anything unhappy? Drinking alone?" I asked tentatively.

He sighed and didn't answer. I also know that a famous trainee like him will have a lot of troubles. Of course he doesn't need to tell me. Even if he asked, he wouldn't tell me, because we are just roommates who just met. , not even friends.

"Then... can I drink with you?" I pointed to the beer in the bag, took out a can and handed it to him. He looked at me hesitantly, took the beer can and put it aside.

I opened a bottle and took a sip. The bitter taste filled my mouth, and I also sighed.

"Why are you sighing?" he asked me.

"It's nothing, it's just... something troublesome, isn't Brother Heechul the same?" I looked at his beautiful side face.Maybe it's not appropriate to use 'beautiful' to describe a man, but there is no other more suitable and more direct word.

"Yeah, who would drink here if there's nothing to worry about?"

"Han Geng, it's hard for you to be abroad alone?" He suddenly asked me, which made me a little flattered. These days, a person who has always been indifferent, suddenly said something that seemed to be concerned about me.

"Oh, it's okay, I've made all these preparations, I know it won't be easy." I said after taking a sip of beer.

"You are very brave. It is amazing to come to Korea alone."

"Hehe, brother Xichul praised you."

"When I came to Seoul from Gangwon-do, I thought maybe I could live a better life, but I didn't expect it to be more difficult here."

"However, you also got a lot of things that you didn't have before, didn't you?" I remembered the first time I met senior Kangta in the company, he was my idol all the time, and the excitement at that time was indescribable, even if it was these There are so many difficulties in life, but they are all worth it at that moment, as if my dream is already so close, right in front of my eyes.

"You're right... You always have to sacrifice something to get something." Xi Chul's thoughtful look is also pretty, with light eyebrows, big eyes, delicate and amazing face, even without makeup is also pretty.

"Anyway, thank you for drinking with me, Han Geng." He suddenly poured me a glass of soju and raised his glass to clink glasses with me. I was still a little flattered, took his wine glass, and turned my face to drink.At that time, I treated him as 'brother' according to his request, but later he didn't allow me to call him 'brother', and every time I think of calling him 'Heechul brother', I feel very funny.

After drinking together that time, our relationship seemed to be a lot closer, and we talked a lot more.It seems that the sense of distance from before is much less, so we can call them 'friends'.
