Four A. M.
Chapter 23
*
Before Red Velvet returned, Kim Tae-hyung sent a message to Lee Hae-na proudly, asking her to pay more attention to the Bulletproof Boys' recent news. There was a surprise waiting for her.
Lee Hae-na naively believed Kim Tae-hyung's nonsense at that time. As long as it was not practice time or composing time, she would use her mobile phone to check the messages on Twitter and SNS.
Kim Ye-rin, who witnessed all this, was surprised and asked Park Soo-young when she became an SNS addict.
Park Soo-young was very happy that Lee Hae-na, who had been anxious, found a little support. Not only did she not object, but she was also happy to see it happen.
Lee Hae-na checked the messages from March 1 to March 7, but she did not find anything.
She seriously suspected that she had been fooled by Kim Tae-hyung, so she angrily went to him to get even.
Unexpectedly, Kim Tae-hyung, who had always been silly and sweet, suddenly took a mysterious route. He only mentioned the concert in Taiwan on March 3.8, and then he did not reply to Lee Hae-na anymore.
Lee Hae-na was speechless.
With a skeptical attitude, Lee Hae-na searched again.
The result was that the Bulletproof Boys sang the Chinese version of "Man" at the concert in Taiwan, which made the fans scream enthusiastically!
"Huh???"
Lee Hae-na was curious and clicked on the video, but her survival instinct made her exit the webpage.
"Ah, hahahaha, if she left a second later, she was afraid that she would die of laughter."
"Was Mr. Fang Wenshan serious when he wrote the lyrics?
Did Dahei offend him?
Please, can they not sing such funny lyrics and dance so sincerely at the same time?
"Hahahaha, I am in a trance to celebrate the New Year!"
"It's really embarrassing."
Lee Hae-na quickly downloaded the meal video and watched it while laughing. Kang Sung-ki was scared and thought that Lee Hae-na was too stressed and crazy.
Lee Hae-na quickly explained. Unfortunately, Kang Sung-ki did not understand Chinese and could not understand her joke, but at least the misunderstanding was cleared.
Lee Hae-na watched it seven or eight times, wiped the tears from laughing, and sent a kkt to Kim Tae-hyung.
Lee Hae-na: "Kim Tae-hyung, is your surprise the Chinese version of" Man "??"
Kim Tae-hyung actually replied within seconds. It seemed that he was playing with his mobile phone.
Silly Ben Ji: How is it? My Chinese is pretty good, right?
Is the stage handsome? (proud) "
Lee Hae-na: (pfft)
Silly: Silly:??
"Are you laughing at me?"
"I have practiced for a long time!"
Lee Hae-na: (voice) Hello everyone, I am V, 20 years old this year, in charge of singing. "
Lee Hae-na imitated Kim Tae-hyung's voice when he first came to China and laughed at his poor Mandarin.
Kim Tae-hyung was unaware and was complacent. He also sent a voice message: "Are you scared by my standard pronunciation? It is not different from the Chinese, right?"
Lee Hae-na rolled her eyes, but unfortunately, Kim Tae-hyung could not see it.
Lee Hae-na: "As long as you are happy."

The music videos of the two songs, Cake and Automatic, were released a day before the music source was released.
The two music videos with different styles brought a wave of popularity because of the new members, so the number of views on the first day was very impressive.
Most of the comments on the MV were full of praise. Although there were still anti-fans, it was much better than when she first debuted, when she was besieged on all sides.
[Six fairies, thank you for your hard work!]
[Lina's beauty is critical!
Is this appearance real?
How can someone be so good-looking!]
[Although I don't like S.M, I have nothing to say about its selection criteria. At least it is really pleasing to the eye.]
[The legendary beautiful child next door is also a beautiful child, and the beautiful child next door is an even more beautiful child …]
[She is not even an adult and she is already wearing a swimsuit and selling her body?
Good, good, she is indeed a red-haired Six Ji.]
[Lina, my little heart is all for you!
I confess to the virtuous and artistic composer, Teacher Li!]
[The more I look at her, the more beautiful she is!]
[Silly hat, you really have a conscience in the industry!
Where did you find so many good-looking children??]
[Is the twin ponytails the new coconut?
Isn't she too cute?
I am going to become a fan!]
[Fans are so dramatic. Why are you pretending to be a passerby?
Silly hat, you all have plastic surgery. Don't you know?]
[Six fairies?
You can even praise this. You really don't have a conscience, hehe.]
[Isn't it a bit worse than the senior group?
Do you let foreigners be the ace?
There is really no one else in S.M.]
[Red Velvet, go the ice cream road!
Confess to Wu Mao, don't tear and don't disturb.]
[Only Five, don't come out and cause trouble. Confess to the whole group, monopolize Irene.]
…
Regardless of the fans and anti-fans tearing each other apart, Lee Hae-na was only worried about their first signing on the 25th.
There was an overseas itinerary for the family concert on the 21st. Lee Hae-na went to Taiwan, China, and took the time to eat the pineapple cake that Kim Tae-hyung highly recommended.
Well … although it was not to her taste.
The next day, she had to go back to Korea to continue singing. She did not even have the chance to go to the night market.
The signing on the 25th was at Sanseongdong. The scale was relatively small, only 300 people.
Lee Hae-na actually did not have a clear understanding of the popularity of her group. Her impression was only when she had just debuted and was splashed with water by anti-fans, so she was quite worried that she would become the first girl group in the history of the company to not have a full house at the signing.
The fans used practical actions to slap Lee Hae-na's face.
The signing was not only full, but there were also more than 100 fans who did not draw tickets but still came to wait outside!
The youngest Kim Ye-rin saw it through the car window and excitedly chatted with Park Soo-young.
Lee Hae-na also saw a familiar face through the car window — her sister Shen Ju-eun.
Shen Ju-eun followed her for many activities, but there was no chance to communicate. Lee Hae-na was quite happy that she could come to the signing. This way, she would have a chance to thank her.
As the sister of the biggest Korean station, Shen Ju-eun spared no effort to go to the front line today.
Today, in addition to the gift that she gave to Lee Hae-na, she also brought the return gift that their station raised funds to buy.
Lee Hae-na already had three Korean stations, but there were not many people. The biggest station was Shen Ju-eun's first love station, which had more than 6,000 followers.
Although there were few fans, they won because they were rich. Their ability to raise funds and move things was first-class. This time, Lee Hae-na's three Korean stations together sold more than 7,000 copies in the first week, which was quite rare among female idols.
Lee Hae-na took Shen Ju-eun's gift, but asked her not to give it next time. It was better for girls to spend more money in their own lives to make themselves beautiful.
Shen Ju-eun did not pay much attention to it, and in her mind, she was already thinking about the next gift to give.
Lee Hae-na and Shen Ju-eun thanked her, and also asked her to convey their gratitude to the fans on the station. Shen Ju-eun nodded one by one.
Shen Ju-eun prepared a small paper to ask Lee Hae-na. Lee Hae-na had seen this kind of signing tradition for the first time, and felt very novel.
The question was: ideal type, and there were several options below.
Lee Hae-na really could not think of one at the moment, so she ticked a few based on her feelings.
Short hair, 1.8 meters, clingy, healthy complexion, good singing.
Shen Ju-eun took the paper with a smile, and after reading it, she teased Lee Hae-na, "Then Tai Tai is very suitable!
Except that he is a little short, hahaha. "
Lee Hae-na imagined for a second.
She quickly threw this terrible idea out of her mind.
She did not answer Shen Ju-eun's question, and Shen Ju-eun did not ask. She said a few words to Lee Hae-na to pay attention to her health, and soon it was the turn of the next fan.
As she signed, Li Haina naturally threw this matter to the back of her mind.
When there was no singing stage or other schedule, Lee Hae-na still had to go to school.
Park Soo-young held the graduation ceremony in February, and was finally free from school.
Now only Lee Hae-na, a senior high school student, and Kim Ye-rin, who had just entered the first year of high school, were still going to school.
The only thing that comforted Lee Hae-na was that Kim Ye-rin was also a student of Hanlin Art High School — in any case, she did not have to go to school alone.
Senior high school, in any country, was a word that made students nervous.
Even in an art high school where academic results were not important, the atmosphere in the senior high school was more tense than in the first and second year of high school.
Lee Hae-na had her own goals. Although the school had guaranteed places, it had nothing to do with foreigners like her, so she could only rely on her own efforts.
Her company's senior, Krystal, was admitted to the Performance Department of Sungkyunkwan University with first place in her major. She was not interested in performing, so she planned to enter the Composition Department of Hanyang University, which was also a famous school.
This goal was actually as difficult as Sungkyunkwan University, so Lee Hae-na could no longer relax like in the first and second years of high school.
Therefore, she went to find Cha Eun-woo, the top student and class monitor who said that if she had any difficulties, she would look for him.
At first, Lee Hae-na, who was quite confident in her grades, really thought that Cha Eun-woo was bragging.
Until the final results of the last semester were published, Cha Eun-woo took first place in the year with a total score higher than her by 30 points, while she was only ranked tenth. Only then did she know that the school's top student in the novel was true.
Cha Eun-woo was really Jack Su Ben Su.
Lee Hae-na comforted herself that she could not learn well because she had to practice and run the schedule. Later, she found out that Cha Eun-woo was also a trainee who was preparing to debut.
Damn it.
Beep — —
Lee Hae-na often missed classes because of her busy schedule. When she returned to school, Cha Eun-woo would teach her and lend her notes to read.
Not to mention other things, this kid's handwriting was much better than Park Soo-young's.
Lee Hae-na was quite grateful for Cha Eun-woo's selfless help. She often invited him to eat ice cream and drink milk.
Although Cha Eun-woo often refused, he could not resist Lee Hae-na's insistence. In the end, he accepted it.
She just did not know if he would take back the notes if he knew that his name in Lee Hae-na's phone was "infuriating brat".

Bulletproof Boys would return on April 21st with "Mood for Love" PT.1.
This return had a very special meaning for them. It was a transition from focusing on black bubbles to compromising with traditional Kpop.
It had been almost two years since they debuted. There was not much time left before the three-year rule of male groups. There were not many opportunities left for them.
This time, they really put in 1,200 points of effort into the mini-series. They even edited two versions of the music video.
For this return, they practiced for more than 10 hours every day, just to present the fans with the perfect stage.
After practicing every day, Kim Tae-hyung was so tired that even raising his hand felt heavy. Not to mention playing games, even taking a shower was tiring. Therefore, he contacted Lee Hae-na less.
On one hand, Lee Hae-na's promotional schedule was full. On the other hand, she was busy with her studies. She did not have time to contact Kim Tae-hyung. She only occasionally sent him a message to cheer him on for his return.
ICE
CREAM
CAKE's return this time was really good results that Lee Hae-na expected.
In the first place, Lee Hae-na and Park Soo-young hugged each other and cried. After that, they were laughed at by the other members for a long time.
