Chapter 131 Complex Sense of Dependence (Please Subscribe)

"Don't cry, Jimin, why aren't you saying anything!"

Chen Shijun didn't know what was wrong with this girl. She finally managed to contact him, could it be that she just wanted him to hear her crying?

"Oppa, I'm so panicked! I can't contact anyone, and the company has taken away all our phones. I feel like I can't take it anymore."

The girl sobbed softly as she spoke, and Chen Shijun could do nothing but tell her to get some rest early, as practicing at this hour was too tiring.

Actually, it wasn't a big deal, but I've been spending a lot of time with Chen Shijun lately, and I've been unconsciously relying on him. The sudden loss of contact has allowed this temporary dependence to take over.

Love often arises from such illusions. The little snake also believed that she had already invested a lot of feelings, and she was unwilling to think about anything else.

"That's a good thing! It means you're about to debut, and things might get even tougher after that."

The period right after their debut was an extremely challenging time for them, both mentally and physically. And these girls' trials were yet to come.

He didn't care about the others, but he felt a little sorry for Zhimin. Although he initially liked the girl's beautiful body more, liking is liking, so there's no need to say so much. Who says that physical attraction isn't a form of entertainment?

"I know! But I just want to hear oppa's voice. I'll secretly call you these next few days, oppa, you have to answer!"

Zhimin felt like she was doing something wrong. She should have secretly hidden a phone; it was a real mistake.

Seeing Kim Minjung peeking in their direction, the little snake lowered its voice even further, knowing that it was not a good place to stay. If it were caught or overheard, it would be a serious matter.

"Oppa, I'm hanging up! When we debut, you must come and support me!"

Having briefly dispelled her loneliness, the girl reluctantly hung up the phone and looked up to see her prospective teammate's somewhat suspicious gaze.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Let's go back quickly, or they'll get suspicious."

She pulled Minjun towards the door, but he asked her curiously, since the little snake's crying and laughing behavior was really strange.

"Really? When did I cry and laugh at the same time? You must be mistaken since you were groping in the dark without the lights on!"

The little snake's face was flushed, but it wasn't very noticeable in the dimly lit corridor. It denied all the accusations.

"I think I just heard you call me oppa. Unnie, aren't there two sisters in your family?"

Running back breathlessly, Minjun's sudden question left the little snake speechless, and it could only catch its breath.

"You must have misheard me. Maybe you were too nervous just now. I didn't call oppa."

She vehemently denied everything, and since the other party had no evidence, there was nothing they could do. Little Snake had already developed a rather thick skin.

"Okay, okay, maybe I misheard."

The other party didn't press for details, but their suspicions hadn't disappeared; they were certain they hadn't misheard her call.

Moreover, she was perfectly normal when she called her parents and sister, but this last mysterious phone call made her act very strangely. After saying "oppa," she started crying, and anyone who didn't know better would think she had been dumped.

"I'm so disappointed. I thought you'd been dumped. Oh well, you should go practice some more."

Saying it in a teasing tone wouldn't make people too sensitive, so the little snake glared at her, waved its fist as if to provoke the younger sister to go inside quickly.

This incident seemed to have improved her mood considerably. She thought to herself how wonderful it would be if she could teleport Chen Shijun to her dormitory anytime, anywhere, so she could relax and unwind during breaks from practice.

Or he could teleport himself there, because he was afraid Chen Shijun would go on a killing spree if he teleported there, which would be terrible. He wondered if his oppa would feel lost without him to cheer him up, but it didn't matter, he would meet him again as a famous idol after his debut.

She had no idea that Chen Shijun not only had a famous actress in his arms, but was also planning to have a party with twelve beautiful women in the next few days. Otherwise, she would have been so angry that she would have made a fool of herself during practice.

"Has Se-jun already started recruiting trainees? Is he about to debut? Which company is he with?"

Chen Shijun lay on the soft bed, letting his older sister ride on his lower back, her long, slender fingers massaging his not-so-tired shoulders and neck.

"We met by chance. You should be from the same company as us, right? Wasn't your company acquired by SM Entertainment?"

Eun-chae's newly signed agency is indeed under SM Entertainment. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she's a senior in the same company, which also includes well-known actresses like Moon Ga-young.

"Oh? SM's new group? They're really popular online lately, it can't be..."

Suddenly remembering the strange things she had recently seen online, she leaned down and climbed onto Chen Shijun's back, staring at the man with a mischievous look.

"Could it be that female trainee who was known as the strongest royal in history, the girl who attacked her senior?"

Unexpectedly, the older sister guessed it right away. Chen Shijun smiled awkwardly. Zhimin already had her own reputation, although it wasn't a good one.

"It's all the result of your company's hype. That's not the case at all. It's just being used to create hype for the company's debut."

Chen Shijun started by distorting the truth, making no guarantees about the authenticity of the chat logs, and simply shifting all the blame onto SM Entertainment.

"Is that so? That's really bad, that's how SM works."

Actually, she didn't know much about SM Entertainment. Although she joined SM after they took over the management of KEYEAST, the actor management company is different from the idol management company.

She was just saying these things to appease the man; in reality, she always harbored a deep-seated fear of the young girls around Chen Shijun, yet she was powerless to take any action.

Chen Shijun reached out and embraced the older sister's delicate body. In terms of youthful beauty, she might not be as good as Mi Yeon Ji Min, but in terms of feminine charm, even if they were combined, they probably couldn't match Eun Chae No Na.

Just as Ahn Yoo-jin liked his intellectual charm, Chen Shi-jun also liked the scholarly air about his older sister. Eun Chae-nam thought she might actually be reading when she took a picture with a book in her hand, but Jo Mi-yeon and Yoo Ji-min's picture with a book in her hand was obviously a staged photo.

In short, it just doesn't have the right feel. Although Eun-chae's family background is average, for some reason she always gives off the vibe of a rich heiress who has been forced into marriage due to a sudden family disaster, rather than the kind of intellectual person who is just putting on an act.

Chen Shih-Chun had also seen her debut film, in which she played a college student, and the way she turned the pages and the handwriting in the library scenes revealed genuine traces of academic training.

That film earned her the Best New Actress award at the Busan Film Awards, a truly explosive start. It seemed like a rising star was emerging, and she was dubbed a "darling of both men and women" in the lesbian community.

But after that... it seems there was no "after that." He did act in quite a few movies and TV series, but his status kept declining until he ended up playing supporting roles for idols.

Chen Shijun gently patted the older sister's head and talked about the impulsive nature of young girls, saying that these girls had endless possibilities, both good and bad.

The older sister gave a bitter smile. At this point in time, she no longer had the courage to turn around and leave. She had long been tamed by reality, and the struggle had only left indelible marks.

"Time is such a cunning thing. It first elevates you to a pedestal, then removes the steps and watches you fall to the ground in a sorry state."

Holding the older sister's chin, Chen Shijun felt a pang of pity. This sense of brokenness, which he could only carefully guard against, was like a needle pricking his heart at times.

Just as Jung Eun-chae's portrayal of a villain evokes both hatred and pity, Chen Shijun feels that his understanding of humanity also has its complex aspects, as evidenced by his occasional displays of soft-heartedness.
