Rose among the Thorns>>Idol Producer ✔️

Chapter 14

The next next morning, Se Yeon woke up early because the director of Idol Producer called her for a meeting. She was beyond confuse really but maybe, it is because of the trending pictures taken by the night she and the boys goes to night market. They didn’t know that someone will recognize them and will make false rumours about them. Now, it is #1 on the search ending and people are judging her, keep sending hurtful words through her weibo, instagram and other sns accounts. She even receives threats from the fans of the guys. They called her many names that really affects her but they were trained to ignore those hate words. Of course, she didn’t tell anyone about this because she doesn’t want them to worry but she guess, the production already knows about it. Of course, The fake news was #1 on the search engine ! How can’t they know it ?!

They are now discussing what to do with Se Yeon’s case. Well, the thing is, Some—Many of the National Producers doesn’t want Se Yeon participating in the Show. I mean, they are right, It is indeed a Boy Group Survival Show but why is there a girl ? Some National Producers are bashing Idol Producer for letting a girl participate in a show where the contestants were guys and it was supposed to be like that. And they said that it wasn’t appropriate for Se Yeon to live together with the guys. And add the fake news rising on the internet today. The issue has a huge impact on the ratings of the show.

“ We’re sorry Kim Se Yeon but you can’t continue participating Idol Producer now. “ The Chen Gang decided. They can’t risk the other trainees and the possible ratings of the show. They need to do it even though Kim Se Yeon has a huge fandom and still gaining. Se Yeon’s head hang low.

“ I understand. “ Se Yeon said on low voice.

“ We will give you time to pack your luggage and while doing that, we will arrange your ticket to South Korea. Thank you for participating in the show. You’re talented, Ms. Kim. You have a better future ahead of you. “ The director kindly said. It was true, she is really a talented girl and she has so many great opportunity ahead. Her talent won’t be wasted because she came from a trusted company.

Se Yeon left the meeting room and directly goes to her room with glassy eyes. She cannot still believe it. It was like, hundred to zero real quick. She was just happy yesterday then this ? Informations still cannot sink in on her brain. I guess it is the end. When she arrived at her room, she immediately pulls a purple luggage under her bed and start packing her clothes and other items. Halfway through packing, Cai Xu Kun, Lin Chaoze, Zhu Zhengting and Justin enters her room like they always does every morning and shocked that Se Yeon is packing her luggage.

“ Where are you going ? “ Lin Chaoze asked, confused.

“ I’m going back to my Company in Korea. “ Se Yeon answered, trying to prevent tears from flowing. Just then, the guys noticed that something is going on.

“ Why ? “ Cai Xu Kun asked.

“ Is it about the rumours ? “ Zhu Zhengting continues but Se Yeon didn’t answer.

“ If it is about that, then why are you the only one leaving ? “ Justin asked. Se Yeon sighed and look at them.

“ Listen guys. Don’t worry about me. There are so many opportunities for me outside. And besides, I’m going to debut on Korea. Just think about yourselves, Think about working hard. Fight for the spot. I’m looking forward in meeting you again but this time, you guys are already debuted same as me.” Se Yeon said with a smile. Just then, You Zhangjing, Li Quanzhe, Fan Cheng Cheng and Chen Linong also enters her room halfway through her speech. They’ve heard about the news so they immediately went here. The guys now have a teary eyes. Zhu Zhengting and Li Quanzhe, being the soft guys they are, were already crying.

“ Don’t cry, Jung Jung and Zhezhe. It’s not like we’re not going to see each other ! There’s still weibo ! And I’m just a call away ! You all have my phone number ! And just think of it, I’m going to be your fan. I’m still going to support all of you even though I’m leaving now. I’m maybe leaving the show but I am always by your side, supporting each of you. So wipe that freaking tears and cheer up ! “ Se Yeon said after she pulls the boys into a hug which she broke immediately.

“ But we’ll miss you. “ You Zhangjing said with teary eyes. They’ve been really close in a matter of week and already form a friendship. There is really no time limit to say someone has become your friend. You can become friends in a matter of time, spending the life time to create bond that will strengthen it.

“ Of course, who wouldn’t miss the great Kim Se Yeon ? “ Se Yeon joked, trying to lift the atmosphere but she failed because her voice cracked and the tears she’s been preventing to fall all this time betrayed her. She hates goodbyes the most. It pains her to leave the people who make her feel being loved. But then she was suddenly pulled into a tight hug by no other than Cai Xu Kun.

“ I’ll miss you so much, Yeonnie. We have so many memories that we share and I won’t forget any single one. “ Cai Xu Kun whispered on the verge of tears.

“ Don’t ever forget those, Xaoi Kun. “ Se Yeon said, using the nickname no one calls Cai Xu Kun but her. Then she was pulled in another hug then another then another and ended up in a tight and sad group hug.

It was quite a heartbreaking scene. So many tears shed, and memories suddenly flashing to their minds. The memories all suddenly came back like it was just yesterday. The laughs and all the problems they’ve been shared with each other. The hardships that they’ve been through knowing that they have each other’s shoulder to lean on. They help Se Yeon in packing her things while they use the moment to create more memories. They laugh and joke with each other like it wasn’t their last time together. Of course, it wasn’t. Because they promise to each other that they will meet again and this time, all of them have their career life. They are supporting each other for their own dreams. It is indeed a beautiful friendship. And I don’t understand why people wants to break it by putting malice in their friendship. When it is time for Se Yeon to leave, The boys cannot let go of her. They imprisoned her with their tight hug and Se Yeon cannot help but to shed tears. She will miss this. She will miss all of them. Those moments when they are just joking with each other. Those moments when they are all eating together. Those moments when they are all practicing together. 3 months is not that long but in that period of time, They created friendship that is real. Friendship that are meant to last for eternity. It is just so sad that one of them will leave.

“ It’s time, guys. I gotta go or I’ll miss my flight. Don’t worry about me. I’m going to support all of you. Remember to always wear the bracelets I gave you. It will serve as the witness to our agreements that we will debut all together and our friendship. Jiayou Chengcheng, Jiayou Jingjing, Jiayou uri Nongnong, Jiayo Zhezhe, Jiayou Chaochao, Jiayou uri Minghao, Jiayou Jungjung, Jiayou Xiao Kun. Keep your promises, okay ? Don’t think of it as a goodbye and I’m not saying farewell. Because we will see each other again so, See you soon. “ Se Yeon said, adressing to her friends. They hugged for the last time and Se Yeon was escorted by a staff to the van who will take her to the Airport. She wave for the last time before the van speeds off. Se Yeon glance at the bracelet clung into her wrist.

I don’t regret meeting all of you.

She look to the window to gaze at the camp for the last time. The camp that has been her home for 3 months. She’ll totally gonna miss this. While on the way to the airport, she cries hard. She has always been the girl who hates goodbyes. It always leave her on pain. She cannot say goodbyes to those whom she have grown to love, for the memories they have been made and shared will last for the lifetime and will always be remembered.

*** Fastforward ***

(A/N : Just imagine they were speaking in hangeul )

Se Yeon breathed the air of her hometown to only hug herself because it is really cold. She miss this place. It has been months since the last time she’s here. Se Yeon is looking at the sky when a Black Van stopped in front of her. Then a girl whose wearing a black mask and black cap goes out of the car. She knew the girl so much. A smile crept on Se Yeon’s lips.

“ Unnie. “ Se Yeon murmured before throwing her arms to her sisters shoulder. Taeyeon laugh when they nearly fell because of the impact of the sudden hug.

“ Welcome back, sissy. “ Taeyeon said. Se Yeon didn’t answer. She just remain in her sisters warm embrace. Cherishing the moment she had been missed. Getting the things she always longed since she goes to China but still noticing the painful empty space that she knows only her friends back there in China can only fulfill.

“ Let’s get inside the car before you catch cold. I can tell that you’ve been outside for so long because your face is turning pale and your lips turning violet. Aigoo~ You are such a hardheaded girl ! You could’ve stayed inside ! " Taeyeon sternly said while motioning Se Yeon to get inside the car.

The drive is so silent. Taeyeon driving the car while Se Yeon looking at window with unshed tears. Her older sister occasionally looking at her with worry lace her eyes. She's not used to sad Se Yeon. She’s always used to the talkative and cheerful Se Yeon. But she's giving time to her little sister because she knew that she is having a little hard time. It has always been like this when she says goodbye. She's going to be sad grumpy for the whole week. But Taeyeon hope she's not going to be like that.

When they pulled out of Taeyeon's Dorm, Se Yeon look at her with asking look.

" You will stay here for now. You know, I haven’t seen my little sister for so long and I miss her so much. " Taeyeon said while unbuckling her seatbelt. Se Yeon did the same and they both exit the car. Taeyeon went to the trunk to get her luggage down while Se Yeon waits for her.

" You know, I've heard CEO that this is the right time for you to debut. They are now preparing for your debut since they've received the news. If you are worried that he's angry, no he's not. He's actually excited because you will finally have your official debut. Lucky that you are his favorite. " Tae Yeon said while they make their way towards the dorm. Se Yeon remained silent and Tae Yeon cannot help but to heave a sigh.

" So, Go to your room and unpack your stuffs while I make dinner. okay ? " Taeyeon said and Se yeon obliged, pulling her luggage up the stairs and while doing that, she remembers the time when Li Quanzhe helped her to carry her luggage. She became sad again but shrugged it off and continue her way towards her room. They will not gonna like it if she keeps being sad.
