Chapter 98 Go Golden Autumn

When Kim Eun-jin pressed the button and the music started, everyone fell silent.

Liu Zimu is no longer funny.

Jin Qiutian pursed her lips tightly.

In 2007, she was only five years old, playing in the mud at a kindergarten in Incheon. She didn't know what dreams were, let alone that the nine older sisters on stage would shine brightly in her growing years.

Today, three people have become her light.

Kim Tae-yeon stood there, looking at the little girl chasing her dream, her voice trembling slightly, her emotions fluctuating.

She suddenly felt like she had become that little girl from Jeonju again, standing in unfamiliar Seoul, striving to pursue her dreams.

"What I want to express is that even in moments of sadness, happiness is always by my side."

Sunny was jumping around next to her, and the ribbon in her hair was a little crooked, but she didn't care.

But when I raise my right hand, the arc of my wrist rotation is like a memory etched into my bones, and the forgotten movements gradually become clear.

Even before Yoona's part was played, her lips were already silently singing along.

Her eyes weren't on herself in the mirror or the camera position, but rather on Jin Qiutian standing behind her through the mirror.

The little girl's lips were trembling, but her hand movements were precise.

The chorus is coming.

Kim Tae-yeon took a step forward, inhaled, and sang out: "I love you, this is how I feel, finally I don't have to wander aimlessly in longing anymore."

All seven people turned around at the same time, but Liu Zimu was slow, making him the comic relief.

Jin Qiutian moved from the back row to the middle and took over Jin Xiaoyuan's part.

She danced with utmost seriousness.

Liu Zimu saw her expression in the mirror from the back corner.

He was very focused and serious, so serious that he pursed his lips tightly, furrowed his brows, and stared intently at himself in the mirror, confirming every movement.

Last night, she practiced the dances for both groups in front of the mirror in Starship's practice room over and over again.

When I got home, I danced to Girls' Generation's debut song for a while.

She really has dreams.

Although she didn't know what Liu Zimu was going to do last night, she practiced very seriously.

Now, she has done it.

Different companies, different times, different drops of sweat in the same practice room, eventually converging into the same melody.

"Goodbye to the recurring sorrows in this world."

Sunny's voice is very steady, as steady as if she were in a recording studio.

But when she made that gesture pointing at the audience, her finger wasn't pointing at the camera, but at Jin Qiutian.

I saw it in the golden autumn.

The corners of her mouth finally curved upwards slightly.

In the last verse of the chorus, everyone gathers in the center.

Liu Zimu stood at the very back and followed along with the movements.

To be honest, he himself didn't know what he was dancing. His dance experience in his mind was fighting with his body, and neither side won. In the end, they reached a compromise.

It's so cringeworthy, it's hilarious.

But his gaze was often fixed on Jin Qiutian.

She is shining brightly, transforming into that confident little girl.

The music ends.

When the last note fell, the practice room fell silent for a moment.

Kim Ye-rin clapped first, the clapping loudly in the quiet practice room.

Kim Eun-jin and Park Myung-ho, along with other audience members, were also applauding!

Jin Qiutian stood there, panting, her chest heaving.

She stared at herself in the mirror for several seconds, as if trying to confirm if the person in the mirror was really her.

Then her tears started falling.

She didn't cry out loud, but tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face. She didn't wipe them away; she just stood there and let the tears flow.

"Autumn," Kim Tae-yeon exclaimed, walked over, and reached out to hug her.

Jin Qiutian's shoulders began to tremble, and she gripped the hem of Kim Tae-yeon's clothes tightly.

She buried her face in Kim Tae-yeon's shoulder, her voice broken, "Senior... thank you..."

Kim Ye-rin also came over, put her hand on Kim Qiu-ti's back, patted her twice, and didn't say anything.

Sunny stood on the outside, arms crossed, tilting her head to watch the scene with a smile on her lips.

She turned to look at Lim Yoona, who was leaning against the wall with a bottle of water in her hand.

Yes!

Everyone started as a trainee in their teens.

Bae Joo-hyun, however, was looking at Liu Zimu.

How wonderful it would be if I could meet someone like that who protects my dreams before I debuted.

Liu Zimu stood still.

He leaned against the wall, hands in his pockets, watching Jin Qiutian being surrounded by a group of people and crying.

Jin Qiutian cried for a while before raising her head. Her eyes were red, and the tip of her nose was also red, like a little kitten.

She sniffed, turned around, and bowed ninety degrees to everyone.

"Thank you all, seniors, today was truly..."

She walked up to Liu Zimu and hugged him: "Thank you, Oppa!"

Liu Zimu ruffled her hair: "You're the mascot of my shop, what are you saying!"

She looked up at him, then suddenly hugged Bae Joo-hyun: "Unnie! I did a good job today, didn't I?"

"Great!" Bae Joo-hyun smiled. "Much better than your CEO."

Suny laughed out loud, walked over and patted Jin Qiutian on the shoulder: "Alright, stop being so sentimental. Remember to treat us to a meal after you debut."

Jin Qiu nodded vigorously.

Kim Tae-yeon said, "Your basic skills are very solid, you just lack opportunities. Don't rush, take your time."

"Yes." Jin Qiutian's voice still had a nasal tone.

Lin Yoona handed the water bottle to Jin Qiutian in a very natural manner.

Jin Qiutian took it, unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and another tear fell, which she swallowed with the water.

"Autumn," Lin Yoona called out to her.

"Yes, sir." Jin Qiutian quickly stood at attention.

"When you were dancing Hyoyeon unnie's part just now, that turn you made," she paused, tilted her head, "was really pretty."

Autumn is here to move us again.

Liu Zimu glanced at her: "Finished crying?"

Jin Qiutian sniffed and nodded.

"Now that you've finished crying, let's get down to business." He turned to look at everyone, cleared his throat, and said, "Thank you all for your hard work today, big stars."

Kim Tae-yeon smiled and waved her hand, "It's quite fun, and besides, it's not because of you."

Suny chimed in from the side, "It's fun, but could you please give us advance notice next time? I can't even remember the moves."

Liu Zimu waited until they finished arguing before speaking: "I'll remember this favor. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll personally cook you a big meal."

The entire room fell silent.

Kim Ye-rin was the first to react, her eyes lighting up like light bulbs: "Oppa, are you serious?"

"real."

"What dish?"

"You guys order."

"I want to eat that poached chicken from last time!" Kim Ye-rin immediately raised her hand.

"I want boiled fish and that beef dish!" Park Soo-young raised her hand as well.

"Then I want to eat too. You'll have to make it when I don't have any schedules." Kim Tae-yeon rarely took the initiative like this.

Sunny was already counting on her fingers: "I need to think of something. This is a rare opportunity, I can't waste it."

"Zimu, can we participate too?" Kim Eunjin interjected, she missed it too.

Lin Yoona didn't say anything, and was still looking at Liu Zimu strangely.

"Yoona, aren't you going to order?" Sunny asked her when she saw this.

Yoona shook her head: "I don't need to order, he already owes me two meals."

Liu Zimu felt a chill run down his spine: "When did I ever owe you anything?"

"You know it in your heart, right, Joo-hyun?" Yoona laughed after saying that, her eyes crinkling and revealing two rows of big white teeth.

Crocodile Yun.

Bae Joo-hyun blushed, her eyes narrowing slightly: "Unnie, I don't know!"

Jin Qiutian muttered under her breath, "Oppa, you're doomed."

Liu Zhenghua walked ahead with a camera slung over his shoulder, followed by Liu Zimu and Jin Qiutian. By the time the three of them came out of the SM building, it was already quite late.

Jin Qiu hunched her shoulders and pulled up the hood of her sweatshirt.

She walked slowly, and Liu Zimu didn't urge her; the two walked side by side.

"Autumn, how do you feel about your dancing today?"

Jin Qiu thought for a moment and said, "It's alright."

"How good is 'okay'?"

"Well..." she paused, looked up at him, "it's better than I thought."

"That's enough." The green light came on, and Liu Zimu took the first step. "If you don't even think you can do it, then no one can help you. If you think you can, then keep practicing until everyone thinks you can."

Jin Qiutian caught up: "Oppa, I understand, I will do my best."

Then, looking at Liu Zimu, he shouted again, "Go, Golden Autumn!"
