After the shoot,

The group took a car back to the company.

During the short break,

Han Ruila didn't even bother to drink water,

She took out her phone to reply to Kim Dong-hyung's kakao message.

"Finished shooting?"

"Yes,

We're back at the company now. "

"How was it? Did it go smoothly?

How did it feel to shoot for the first time?

Were you nervous? "

"I was very nervous, but I shot it very carefully,

I'm looking forward to the effect of the MV. "

"I'm looking forward to it too, kkk ~ If only I could go to the scene to watch you guys shoot."

Han Ruila couldn't help but smile. She wanted to say something more to him, but Ai Xi was already reminding her to get ready for work.

"Inside ~" She should have answered, but Han Ruila was still reluctant to put down her phone.

Coincidentally, Kim Dong-hyung sent another message,

"Shall I go find you?"

Han Ruila replied quickly,

"Did you climb out of the water pipe again?

No, what if you get hurt? "

"But we haven't seen each other in a long time..." Kim Dong-hyung sent a crying emoji.

Han Ruila replied with a comforting pat on the head,

Afraid that Ai Xi would continue to urge her, she hurriedly made a conclusion,

"Be good, I'll go to work first,

Talk to you when I have time. "

Without waiting for Kim Dong-hyung's reply, she put her phone aside and walked towards Ai Xi and Sung Hee-young.

"Sister Ai Xi."

"Yes, the camera has been turned on,

You guys just stand in this position and dance. "

"Oh, okay."

What they were going to record now was a pas de deux between her and Sung Hee-young,

It was the image of their trainees to reveal their identities.

In addition to the pas de deux, they also had to record the pas de deux,

During this period of time, Han Ruila was almost exhausted from preparing for these dances.

The first time they revealed their identities, they always wanted to leave a good impression,

Therefore, Han Ruila practiced her dance very carefully. She didn't want to stand beside Sung Hee-young and be compared too badly.

Speaking of which, the pas de deux was also their own idea. After all, they were close friends in the same year in the team. They were both busy with work and had a good relationship. It was normal for them to want to show something together.

Moreover, the two of them were extremely good-looking and had a special chemical reaction when they were in the same frame. Therefore, the people in the company were very much in favor of them doing a pas de deux.

"Let's begin when you're ready," Sung Hee-young said.

"Okay." Han Ruila smoothed her hair and got into a ready position, slowly getting into the zone.

After filming for so long during the day, she should have been exhausted, but the moment she heard the music, Han Ruila regained her energy. Other than performing, there was nothing else in her mind.

Actually, they hadn't practiced this dance perfectly yet, so they couldn't just dance it once or twice. They were just recording it while practicing.

The final result would depend on how much they could do within the time limit.

"Ah!"

Accidents often happened inadvertently. Han Ruila staggered and suddenly bumped into Cheng Xiying.

The music suddenly stopped, and Ai Xi hurried over. "How are you? Are you alright?

Does it hurt? "

Han Ruila sat up. Because her elbows were on the ground first, she didn't suffer any external injuries except for a little pain in her elbows and buttocks.

"I'm fine. Hee-young, how are you?

I'm sorry … "

"It's okay," Sung Hee-young breathed softly. She seemed to have hurt somewhere, and her voice was a little weak. "You didn't do it on purpose. Be careful, don't fall again."

Seeing that they were fine, Ai Xi was relieved. "We're going back soon. Nothing can happen to you.

Ruila, are you too tired?

Do you want to take a rest first? "

"It's okay, sister Ai Xi. I'm not tired. I was just careless …"

"Okay, then be careful. Don't fall again.

Does it hurt?

Do you want to apply some medicine? "

"It doesn't hurt. Hee-young, you …"

"I'm fine." Sung Hee-young shook her arm. The pain had subsided.

Han Ruila nodded. "Then let's start again."

"Okay."

That night was destined to be spent in practice again.

There was a reply lying quietly in Han Ruila's phone. It had been a long time since anyone opened it to check it.

Kim Dong-hyung: "Okay, then I'm going to get busy. Bye bye ~"

"Ahhhh!

I want to practice dancing too!

I want to record a video too!

I want it to be made public too! "Park Jaehyo hugged the instant noodles in front of him tightly.

The members eating at the same table were extremely calm. They didn't even look up.

"Ruila and Hee-young have been exhausted these past few days. You should be glad that you don't have to suffer like that." Xu Huili stirred the instant noodles in the bucket.

Park Jaehyo looked serious. "You can't say that. I should be the one suffering. Dancing is my strength."

"Yes, yes. That's why the company let you be the hidden ace!" Han Ruila said as if she was coaxing a child.

Park Jaehyo pouted unhappily. The hidden ace sounded mysterious, but what was the benefit of doing so?

He really didn't know what the company was thinking!

Silently observing her, Han Ruila took in all of her little expressions. She lowered her head and smiled. Speaking of hidden trainees, this seemed to be a joke that entertainment companies liked to play.

Wasn't her boyfriend a hidden trainee when he debuted in her previous life?

He even suffered a little because of this. When he was ready to return, he could only watch the members work. He was like an extra, invisible person. How disappointed must he be?

However, Han Ruila felt that Park Jaehyo's situation was better than Kim Dong-hyung's. She was strong enough and could prove herself with her strong dancing skills.

That way, no one would suspect that she was a paratrooper.

Even if she was, she would be recognized by the public.

Hidden trainees like this were the ones with the real value of being hidden, right?

That time, Jin Tuahyung was purely tricked by the company.

But there was nothing he could do. It was good enough that he survived. Didn't he almost get fired?

Only those who had experienced it personally would know how unstable the changes between members were before they debuted.

"Ruila, there's a bruise on your hand."

"Eh?" After Lee Ji-yee's reminder, she realized that there was indeed a bruise on her hand.

"What happened?

Did you get hurt during practice? "

"Yeah, I accidentally fell." Han Ruila touched the bruise. It didn't hurt, but it looked a little scary.

"Apply some ointment and massage it. You can't perform with a bruise on stage," Lee Ji-yee said.

"Sure, I'll apply it."

Han Ruila agreed and continued eating. Sung Hee-young, who was sitting next to her, grabbed her arm and looked at it. She lowered her eyes and said, "Your boyfriend will be heartbroken if he sees this."

"Cough …" Han Ruila choked on the hot air from the instant noodles and couldn't help but cough. She wiped her chin and said casually, "Isn't it normal to get injured while dancing?"

Sung Hee-young tilted her head. "That's true. If he gets injured, won't you be heartbroken?"

Han Ruila stopped eating and looked away for a moment.

Sung Hee-young raised the corner of her mouth in amusement. "Hey, why am I so happy to eat dog food?

Is there something wrong with me? "

"…"

Before she could roll her eyes, a certain uninvited person suddenly sat down.

"Eh?

Why are you eating instant noodles for lunch? "

"Director!" Everyone greeted Min Zhenghe, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Min Zhenghe nodded and tightened his down jacket. "It's best to eat instant noodles when the weather is cold. But why are you guys only eating instant noodles?"

"Kk, it's enough to eat instant noodles," Park Jaehyo said stupidly.

"Really?

You guys are still growing, right? "

Park Jaehyo said gloomily, "I haven't grown since the third year of middle school. I've already given up."

Min Zhenghe laughed. "But you're quite tall."

"Hmph … I thought I could grow to 1.8 meters!"

"1.7 meters is not bad. Don't be too greedy."

"Okay."

"By the way, do you guys eat strawberry bread?

My assistant will buy some bread every day for others to eat when they're hungry. If you guys want to eat, you can tell her. "

"No need, no need. That thing has too many calories."

"I see. Then what do you guys want to drink?"

"Eh …"

Han Ruila looked at Min Zhenghe carefully and found that his expression was very natural. He didn't even look at Sung Hee-young.

Was it really just her imagination?

Kim Dong-hyung silently set the selfie that Han Ruila sent to him as his phone wallpaper. It was the first time he saw Han Ruila with makeup and styling. He liked it very much.

He touched the phone screen like it was a baby and even kissed it.

A female staff member passed by and he was so shocked that he almost dropped his phone.

"Oh, you almost scared me to death!"

"Who is this?

She's so beautiful! "

Kim Dong-hyung smiled proudly. "Isn't she beautiful?

She's my girlfriend! "

"Your girlfriend?" The staff member's eyes widened. "Dong-hyung, are you in a relationship?

Does PD Fang know? "

Kim Dong-hyung gradually stopped smiling and looked at the staff member with a trace of uneasiness.

"PD Fang knows … What's wrong?"

The staff member came back to her senses. "Oh … No, nothing. I'm just worried that it will have a bad impact on your evaluation." She smiled and quickly left.

The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener took it seriously.

Jin Uheng stood rooted to the ground in a daze. His happiness had completely disappeared.

He didn't deliberately hide the fact that he was in a relationship, and he didn't care if PD Fang knew.

Because the company had never had a "love ban" before, but today, Kim Dong-hyung couldn't help but feel afraid.

Thinking of the trainees that were fired by Fang Shihe, Kim Dong-hyung swallowed. He always felt that he was the closest to the position of the next trainee to be fired.

Thinking about it carefully, other than his face, he didn't seem to be particularly outstanding.

His rap was too bad, his dancing was barely passable, and his vocal was not outstanding. Only his expressions and acting were worthy of praise.

However, the Bulletproof trainee group was very famous among the trainees. Whether it was Min Liuqi, Jin Nanjun, or Zheng Haoxi, they were all very strong and had a very glorious resume. Could a person like him, who could only be considered mediocre in all aspects, really stay in such a group?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. Kim Dong-hyung quickly threw the negative thoughts out of his mind, packed up, and went to the practice room.

He couldn't be fired!

Absolutely not!
