September 6th was Min Kyo-eun's mother's birthday. In the past few years, Min Kyo-eun hadn't been able to celebrate her mother's birthday with her on time due to various reasons. Now that she had successfully debuted, she had to go back on time to accompany her mother no matter what.

Although Min Kyo-eun was extremely free during this period of time, as an artist, she still couldn't decide when to go back on her own. She could only report to her manager a few days in advance. Perhaps the company had considered that she had a lot of free time, or perhaps it was because she had debuted, so they wanted to give her some time. In short, her report to her manager was approved a few days later.

When Mother Min found out that Min Kyo-eun would be back on time, she was so happy that she couldn't express her joy with words.

A few years ago, when her daughter went back to celebrate her birthday, she always took time out to go back at night. Not to mention that she was late, the time she spent at home was also very short. It was precisely because of this that she didn't celebrate her birthday very much.

Now that her daughter was coming back, she had to hold a proper celebration no matter what.

After talking to Min Jiaoen on the phone, Min Jiaoen's mother began to call her good friends and colleagues to attend the birthday party. Min Jiaoen's father was also very happy. He began to prepare for the birthday party without any hesitation.

September 6th arrived very quickly. In order to prevent being recognized, Min Kyo-eun wrapped herself up tightly from head to toe.

When Mother Min opened the door, she couldn't recognize that the person in front of her was her daughter. She stared at Min Kyo-eun in shock. "Jiaojiao?"

Jiaojiao.

This simple nickname gave Mother Min and Father Min countless expectations, blessings, and love.

They loved their daughter very much and spoiled her very much. Their daughter had always been delicate and tender since she was young.

They also hoped that their daughter would be spoiled by others when she grew up.

Min Kyo-eun smiled as she took off her hat and mask. She took a step forward and hugged her mother tightly. Her nose was sore as she said, "Mommy, I'm home."

"You really are my Jiaojiao."

Mother Min hugged Min Kyo-eun back with tears in her eyes. However, she realized that her daughter's waist had become thinner again. Instead of joy, she felt heartache. "Why did you lose weight again?

I think your previous weight was pretty good. Losing so much weight will make you unhealthy. "

Min Kyo-eun loosened her grip on Mama Min's shoulder and led her into the living room. As she walked, she said, "Because you have to appear on camera. No matter how thin you are in real life, you will look fat on camera.

I'll be scolded then, so I can only slim down. "

As she spoke, she looked around the living room. "Where's my father?"

"Your father is cooking in the kitchen. Oh, by the way, my mother's good friends are coming later."

Mrs. Min poured a glass of cold water for Min Kyo-eun. "They will definitely tease you about becoming a star. Just bear with it. Don't be angry."

Min Kyo-eun did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"I'm no longer the adolescent me from a few years ago. I've grown up. Mom, I'm sensible now."

Min Kyo-eun had been doted on by her parents since she was young. It was inevitable that she would be spoiled. Adolescence was also a time of restlessness. During adolescence, she often quarreled or threw tantrums with her parents over trivial matters.

It was not that she did not care about her parents. It was just that she really could not control her temper at that time.

However, her time as a trainee changed her a lot.

When she first became a trainee, she was one of the younger trainees in Waiji Company. Therefore, she was often ordered around by others. She had no choice. Those who ordered her around were her seniors. The hierarchy in Korea was strict. She could only endure her bad temper and survive.

It was not that she had never rebelled against her seniors. However, the consequences of doing so were too terrible.

Not to mention that she was isolated, there were many things about her life that she did not know.

Later, she understood that she had to disguise herself if she wanted to survive in such an environment.

She began to become smooth and cunning. She also began to make friends widely.

Then, everything around her gradually changed.

As she gradually gained more friends, she was no longer ostracized. After Brother Shengli saw through her disguise, she unexpectedly became good friends with him. Those seniors who had bullied her also secretly apologized to her or tried to get close to her.

At that time, she understood that connections could really change a person a lot.

However, the harsh days before were too big a blow to her. She grew up almost overnight. At that time, she suddenly understood that only her family would love and support her unconditionally.

Mrs. Min was both gratified and sad.

She and her husband knew what their daughter was like in the past.

They did not need to guess to know that many bad things had happened to their daughter to make her mature like this. However, their daughter had never complained in front of them.

Their daughter had grown up. However, they would rather their daughter continue to be spoiled than be bullied by others.

How could they let those people bully their daughter whom they loved in their hearts?

She and her husband had tried to persuade their daughter not to become a trainee. However, their daughter was very determined and did not agree.

They could only let her go and let her go.

When Mr. Min heard Min Kyo-eun's voice, he rushed out of the kitchen with a spatula. "Jiaojiao!"

Min Kyo-eun immediately went up and hugged Mr. Min.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't hug me." Mr. Min pushed Min Kyo-eun away. "Dad smells like oil and smoke."

"I don't care. I haven't seen Dad in a long time. I want to hug Dad." Min Kyo-eun rubbed against Mr. Min's chest as she spoke.

Mr. Min was 1.85 meters tall. He was more than enough to hug Min Kyo-eun in his arms. His daughter's coquettishness softened his heart. He could only hug his daughter back.

Mr. Min was different from traditional Korean men. He was optimistic and humorous. He was brave enough to express his love. Whether it was for his wife or his daughter, he was not stingy with his love for them.

Under his influence, the Min Family formed the habit of saying "I love you" often.

"Hey, my Jiaojiao. Dad misses you so much. Why didn't you come back to visit your mother and father?"

"Hey, Yigu. Dad, you know that I'm quite busy."

Min Kyo-eun got out of Mr. Min's arms and stuck out her tongue. "Dad, your food is going to be burnt."

Mr. Min quickly turned around and rushed into the kitchen.

"Ah, you scared me to death. It was almost burnt …"

Min Kyo-eun and Mrs. Min looked at each other and laughed silently.

At night, Mrs. Min's good friends came to the house one after another. The auntie who was the closest to Mrs. Min also brought her daughter, Zheng Minxiu, over.

Zheng Minxiu was one of Min Kyo-eun's good friends. Their mothers were good friends, so they played together when they were young.

Zheng Minxiu was two years older than Min Kyo-eun. She was currently studying at Ewha Women's University. They were usually very busy. The last time they met was five or six months ago.

The space in the house was left to Mrs. Min and her good friends. Min Kyo-eun and Zheng Minxiu ran to the balcony of Min Kyo-eun's room. There was a can of beer beside them.

"Congratulations on making your debut!"

Zheng Minxiu handed the gift she had prepared to Min Kyo-eun. Her eyes were gentle. "I'm sorry that I stopped you from becoming a trainee back then."

Zheng Minxiu's future ambition was to be a teacher. When she found out that Min Kyo-eun wanted to become a trainee, she strongly objected. In her opinion, it was fine if her idols had a low salary, but they would also be looked down upon by other people in the entertainment industry.

After all, idols had the lowest status in the entertainment industry, except for a few idol groups with high status.

"You don't have to apologize. I know you did it for my own good."

Min Kyo-eun didn't care much about it. "But I'm also very grateful that during my time as a trainee, it allowed me to grow up quickly. I thought of many things that I wouldn't have thought of at my age. I also understood that what you said back then was reasonable."

Zheng Minxiu was older than Min Kyo-eun. Although she was only two years old, she was much more mature. As an Augny, she naturally taught Min Kyo-eun a lot of life philosophy. But at that time, Min Kyo-eun was still in her adolescence and couldn't listen to anyone's advice.

She once told Min Kyo-eun, "Your parents can't interfere with your life, let alone me.

We can't accompany you forever. We're just passers-by in your life.

We all love you, but that's all. "

At that time, Min Kyo-eun didn't understand. What did she mean by "that's all"?

Didn't everyone say that love could do everything?

Why was their love nothing more than this?

Later, she understood that her parents and them all loved her, but they all had their own lives. They couldn't always pay attention to her.

Just like her parents. Although she was the product of her parents' love, in the end, it wasn't her who accompanied them to the end of their lives, but each other.

One day, her parents and them would leave her side, and by her side would be her lover and child.

After understanding all of this, Min Kyo-eun secretly cried for a long time.

Whenever she thought of her parents leaving her, her heart would ache.

"Then how do you plan your life in the future?" Zheng Minxiu took a sip of beer and asked.

Min Kyo-eun: "I want to take it slow. I'm still young. If I walk too fast, I'll fall even harder."

She didn't say anything explicitly, but Zheng Minxiu instantly understood what she meant. She knew that Min Kyo-eun wanted to climb to the top of the entertainment industry and make everyone look up to her. Only then could she do what she wanted.

"You're very arrogant, but I like it.

But I still don't understand. Why do you suddenly want to be an idol? "

Min Kyo-eun smiled faintly and didn't answer.

Why?

At first, it was because of her youthful flamboyance. She originally thought that being an idol was very cool. She could make everyone's eyes fall on her. The feeling of being watched must be great.

Later, after she came into contact with dance and vocal music, she slowly fell in love with the feeling of dancing and singing. It was as if she had found her goal.

It wasn't that she chose to be an idol because of some dream. She simply liked it. She wasn't great, she just wanted to make herself happy.

But after becoming a trainee, she found that liking was far from enough. If she wanted to sing and dance without any scruples, she needed to have a status.

Zheng Minxiu didn't have to get Min Kyo-eun's answer. Seeing that Min Kyo-eun didn't say anything, she didn't ask anymore. Instead, she chatted with her about the things that happened around her.

Min Kyo-eun listened to Zheng Minxiu with a smile on her face, but her heart felt more and more emotional.

It was great to be able to squeeze out time from her busy life to meet her family and friends!

It was great to have the support of her family and friends behind her!

She suddenly understood that she might be the only one moving forward, but her family and friends would be cheering her on behind her back. When she was tired, she could see them when she turned her head.
