Lee Hae-na had signed a non-disclosure agreement, so she didn't have any social media accounts or apps on her phone. She only had the phone numbers of a few of her regular contacts.

She was very grateful to Kim Tae-hyung for helping her this time. After all, if she had fainted in the park and no one was there, she might have really had an accident.

So even though Kim Tae-hyung kept refusing her thanks, she still insisted on doing something for Kim Tae-hyung.

For example, she would buy two boxes of strawberries for him in two days.

After exchanging contact information with Kim Tae-hyung, she parted ways. When Kim Tae-hyung found out that she didn't even have Kakaotalk, he was shocked and laughed at her for being a caveman.

When Lee Hae-na returned to the dormitory, it was almost six o 'clock.

Today was Saturday. If they didn't have class, everyone would wake up at about seven thirty.

Lee Hae-na took the time to shower and wash her hair before everyone woke up. After all, it was really inconvenient for twelve people to use one bathroom.

The hot water dispelled Lee Hae-na's tiredness, and she even felt hungry, which was rare for her.

After listening to the doctor's advice, she didn't dare to skip breakfast or only drink milk as usual. Instead, she took out the junk food she hadn't eaten for half a year — ramen.

Sure enough, ramen was the best on a cold winter morning!

Although ramen was delicious, Lee Hae-na, who always had a small appetite, couldn't even finish one packet.

After she poured out the rest and washed the dishes, the other trainees began to wake up one after another.

Lee Hae-na greeted them one by one, put on her backpack, put on her shoes, and went out for a morning run.

Usually, she had to go to school from Monday to Friday, so she didn't have a chance to run in the morning. On the weekend, she didn't want to waste this good time.

In the morning, she had two hours of violin and piano lessons. In the afternoon, she would go to the company for training. Because the class was in a neighborhood nearby, Lee Hae-na jogged there just in time.

Lee Hae-na was sweating profusely when she arrived at the class. The violin teacher was her mother's classmate at Juilliard.

She was very strict with Li Haina and also very fond of her. Every time she saw Li Haina, she would always say that it was a pity that Li Haina did not specialize in the violin and went to be an idol. What a waste of talent.

"It's fine if you run here in the morning in summer, but why do you have to run here in winter? It's so cold, what if you catch a cold?" Xu Yien rebuked and handed Li Haina a dry towel, letting her wipe off the thin layer of sweat.

"I want to see you as soon as possible ~" Lee Hae-na giggled and acted coquettishly.

"Come on, taking a taxi is faster than walking."

Seo Ye-eun mercilessly exposed Lee Hae-na and pinched her smooth face. "Why are the dark circles under your eyes so deep? How many times have I told you not to stay up late? Do you want me to complain to your mother?"

"You're a fairy, don't." Lee Hae-na didn't want to listen to a few hours of lecture after painstakingly practicing.

"After you're done wiping off your sweat, go to your room and take out your violin." Seo Ye-eun smiled and patted Lee Hae-na's little head.

"Yes, Your Highness." Lee Hae-na imitated the tone of a Korean historical drama, which made Seo Ye-eun laugh.

The heater in the room was very strong, so Lee Hae-na was finally willing to take off her down jacket when practicing the violin … revealing a sweater covered with thermal pads.

Lee Hae-na first played two pieces that she had been practicing for the past few days, but she was mercilessly criticized by Seo Ye-eun, who said that if she didn't want to spend time practicing, it would be better if she didn't learn.

Lee Hae-na lowered her head in shame and didn't defend herself. This week, she did neglect her violin practice because the end of the month evaluation was approaching.

"I'm sorry teacher, I'll work hard." Lee Hae-na humbly admitted her mistake.

Seo Ye-eun saw Lee Hae-na's sincere attitude and saw the dark circles under her young face. In the end, she couldn't get angry. "It's good that you know how to allocate your time.

Come on, we'll learn a new piece today. "

Two hours was long in theory, but short in practice.

Without waiting for Lee Hae-na to successfully finish playing a piece, it was time for her piano lesson.

In fact, she had already passed the Steel 8 exam when she was in the first year of junior high. In the middle of this year, she also passed the Steel 10 exam, so she planned to finish her piano lessons at the end of the year.

Lee Hae-na knew how to make a choice.

She learned the violin and modern dance because she was interested, and learning the piano was just to make it easier for her to compose. It was the same as learning the guitar for two years. She didn't want to learn any profound skills, as long as she could play skillfully.

Now, her composition lessons were getting heavier and heavier, and the trainee classes were getting more and more full. In addition to her studies and other interests, she was about to exceed her limits.

Lee Hae-na's piano teacher, Kim Mi-hye, was a strict and self-disciplined woman. This strict self-discipline was not only reflected in her requirements for Lee Hae-na, but also reflected in her requirements for herself.

When Kim Mi-hye was young, she studied piano in France, and she always had the elegance of a Parisian lady.

Her back was straight, and her posture was elegant. Even at home, she wore a decent gown. Her silver hair was tied up in a bun, and not a single strand of hair was out of place. She was completely different from the old ladies in Korean dramas who picked their feet and cursed on the streets.

So when she decided to explain the situation to Kim Mi-hye and ask for forgiveness, she was still a little scared.

Who knew that Lee Hae-na, who was prepared to be scolded, would receive a gentle pat on the head from Kim Mi-hye.

"Then teacher will wait for the day when little Hae-na becomes a big star. Remember not to relax." Although Kim Mi-hye's words were still stiff, her eyes were gentle that Lee Hae-na had never seen before.

Lee Hae-na suddenly felt an inexplicable lump in her throat.

She bowed deeply to her teacher in Korea.

"Thank you for teaching me all these years, teacher!"

After saying goodbye to Kim Mi-hye, Lee Hae-na felt an inexplicable sadness. The memories of Kim Mi-hye's scolding in the past also became warm, as if they were plated with a layer of soft golden light.

The time that she once felt incomparably tired and tormented suddenly became precious and unforgettable.

This was probably a human's deep-rooted bad habit.

They always learn to cherish and remember when they are separated or lost.

In a split second, Lee Hae-na had a new inspiration to modify the song "All kinds of parting".

Memories were always not enough, and she finally knew what her song was missing. She hurriedly turned into a deserted alley on the boulevard, turned on her phone and started recording.

After recording, Lee Hae-na's mood improved a lot. When she turned around, she saw a boy holding a big bag of snacks standing at the intersection looking at her.

Their eyes met, and it was very awkward.

"Ahaha, sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

The boy scratched his head and apologized with a smile. Probably to make the atmosphere better, he also praised Lee Hae-na: "But you sang very well!"

"Thank you."

Lee Hae-na didn't feel embarrassed. After all, as a trainee, singing in front of strangers was a necessary training. She was just a little scared just now.

Lee Hae-na nodded and quickly walked past the boy, left the alley, and walked back to the company.

She was now focused on changing the song. She originally wanted to buy strawberries for Kim Tae-hyung on the way back to the company, but she forgot about it after being scared by the boy.

When she returned to the company, she remembered, but she felt that it would be too time-consuming to go back, so she might as well buy them the next time she passed by.

Lee Hae-na plunged into the studio and began to change the song.

After re-recording "All kinds of parting", it was exactly one o 'clock in the afternoon when class was about to start.

Because she was going to have her weight checked later, Lee Hae-na didn't dare to eat too much. She bit into a seaweed triangular rice ball that she took from the fridge before leaving today and ate it as lunch.

The weight check was carried out uniformly. All the female trainees in the company were asked to wait in the same practice room, where their weight and height would be announced in front of everyone after the test.

Therefore, many trainees started to diet and exercise a week before the weight check. First, they didn't want to be criticized, and second, they didn't want to lose face in front of other trainees.

When Lee Hae-na went in, there weren't many trainees yet. She guessed that some of them were still crowded in the toilet, planning to find a way to reduce their weight.

Kang Sung-ki and Bae Chu-min were still considered thin. Plus, they usually had strict weight management, so this kind of weight check didn't affect them much.

Xu Yiyang frowned and pressed her head on Lee Hae-na's shoulder: "Haizi, what should I do?

I weighed myself today, I'm two kilograms heavier than the standard. "

S.M Company had a corresponding height and weight chart, and the standards for trainees in the growth stage were more relaxed.

"Why don't you try standing on your tiptoes when you weigh yourself?

Although I haven't tried it, I've seen other sisters do it. "Lee Hae-na whispered.

"Then I'll try." Xu Yiyang hugged Lee Hae-na gratefully.

Of course, the result was useless. Xu Yiyang was still scolded by the supervisor sister, who ordered her to lose weight and check again a week later.

Xu Yiyang: I'll be damned if I believe you.

There were also a few trainees who didn't meet the standard, including the overly thin Lee Hae-na, who also had to be checked again a week later.

Lee Hae-na was a little surprised by her own results. Although she was malnourished yesterday, malnourishment and underweight were two different things. She didn't expect that she would be the type to gain weight.

Although she didn't eat much, it should be considered a normal diet, right?

Faced with Lee Hae-na's doubts, Xu Yiyang just wanted to hit someone.

After the weight measurement, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began class.

Lee Hae-na had dance and singing classes in the afternoon, Korean class in the evening, and then free practice time.

Tomorrow was the scary stage of the month end evaluation.

After class, although Lee Hae-na wanted to go to the studio to change songs, she remembered that tomorrow was the most important month end evaluation in 2012, which President Kim Young-min, Director Quan Bao Er, and their teachers would all come to watch. She chose to spend her free time on practice.

She drank some water, put on her headphones, and continued to practice.

Kang Sung-ki practiced for two hours and felt a little tired. She asked Lee Hae-na, who also practiced for a long time, "Hae-na, I'm going to drink some water. Do you want to come with me?"

It was already ten o 'clock at night, and most of the people in the practice room had left. There were only three or four trainees left.

Lee Hae-na unplugged one of her headphones and stopped practicing. She stretched and hung on Kang Sung-ki like a boneless bear. "Okay."

"Ah, you're sweating." Kang Sung-ki looked disgusted, but she didn't push her away.

The two practiced together until twelve o 'clock before leaving the company.

The streets were extremely cold in the middle of the night. Kang Sung-ki couldn't help but put her hand in Lee Hae-na's coat pocket to warm up.

"It's hot, right? Comfortable." Lee Hae-na raised her eyebrows proudly.

"En!

You're the best! "Kang Sung-ki shivered." Let's walk faster, or we'll catch a cold. "

After returning to the dormitory, Kang Sung-ki went to take a shower first. Lee Hae-na put the hot-water bottle under the blanket. When it was warm enough, she sat down and started to write lyrics.

The other two people in the room were asleep. Only Xu Yiyang woke up in a daze and asked if it was Lee Hae-na.

"It's me. Go to sleep." Lee Hae-na answered softly.

"Good night." Xu Yiyang lay back down on the bed and fell asleep.

Kang Sung-ki took a quick shower. Lee Hae-na only wrote a few lines of lyrics before it was her turn.

She also took a quick shower. She didn't wash her hair and went to sleep.

She was really exhausted today.

She hadn't slept for more than thirty hours …
