The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 193 "Believer" "Circles"

The weather in Seoul is getting hotter in June. According to the latest weather forecast from the Meteorological Bureau, the average temperature has reached 27℃.

"Don't stand so close, be careful not to catch a cold..." In Twice's practice room, Lim Nayeon and Yu Jeongyeon sat on the sofa, watching Gong Cheng who went straight to the air-conditioning vent as soon as he entered the practice room.

He took off the camouflage baseball cap he wore during practice. Beads of sweat slid down his cheeks, and the cool breeze from the air conditioner made his thick black hair rustle.

Hearing Lin Nayeon's concern, Yu Jeongyeon narrowed her eyes and glanced at her friend's profile with her buck teeth pouting.

She pushed up her casually worn flat-frame glasses, and the lenses repeatedly refracted a sharp white light in the sunlight - something started to go wrong!
"Ah! Let's move to the new building quickly!" Gong Cheng held his head high, enjoying the cool air. When he felt much more comfortable, he smoothed his sweat-soaked black hair in annoyance.

The practice room next door was already small, and now all the members of Bombardment Meteor, including him, were squeezed into such a small room to practice every day. It was barely enough. They wanted to temporarily add a vertical air conditioner with stronger wind power, but if it was installed, they would feel that the practice room would be even more empty.

Park Jin-young also suggested that the trainee department could vacate a larger practice room for them to use first. However, the trainee department and the artists' practice floors are not on the same floor, so running back and forth would be troublesome.

Moreover, Gong Cheng couldn't bear to leave his neighbor next door, "My neighbor Twice..."

"Isn't pdnim already preparing?" Park Ji-hyo mentioned it. Since the beginning of this year, Park Jin-young has been telling his artists that the company is going to move to a new building and dormitory.

"He's just preparing! At the beginning of the year, he asked me how big a composing studio I wanted. And now? He's trying to figure out a family concert in Tokyo!" Gong Cheng curled his lips and took out a bottle of iced mineral water from the small refrigerator in the practice room.

"The family concert is coming up soon." Minatozaki Sana also took the bottle, twisted the cap but found it wouldn't open, so she handed it to Gong Cheng and pouted, "pdnim, you've been practicing dance with us recently, and we're going to perform together at the family concert."

"Didn't I look for you?" Cou Xiaogou scratched his head in confusion.

Gong Cheng helped her unscrew the bottle cap. He was not surprised by the collaboration between Park Jin Young and Twice. If he didn't cooperate and didn't grab the center position of the Bunny Girl, then he wouldn't be Park Jin Young. "No, we've been busy with our comeback and Neon's re-released album recently."

"I'm very busy. How can I have the time to play with Brother Jinying? Brother Jinying shouldn't be so unreasonable, right?" He joked with a smile. In the past two days, Park Jinying really didn't talk to them about this.

Instead, he is more concerned about the production of the series of albums.

"You think too much, Oppa! Pdnim has prepared a lot of performances this time. After all, we are going to hold a family concert in Tokyo for two consecutive days." Kim Dahyun took out the snacks from her schoolbag and shared them with the other two members of the dining group.

"Besides collaborating with us Twice, they also had a collaborative stage with their seniors from 2PM, as well as solo performances by GOT7 and Day6. Bombardment Meteor was no exception, saying they wanted to dance to 'Blood, Sweat, and Tears'."

"But pdnim told us that he still wants to work with you the most."

Kim Da-hyun repeated some of the things Park Jin-young said in the practice room, so that the man in front of her could be mentally prepared.

“…” Gong Cheng put the half-drunk bottle of mineral water on the table and was silent.

Seeing his expression, Yu Jeongyeon couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Last time when Pdnim treated us to dinner, he was still talking about what he regretted most in his life. Guess what?"

"I don't want to guess." Gong Cheng sighed, feeling a headache. He truly felt helpless. It was a good family concert, and you, as the president, had to go on stage and jump around? He had also seen some of Park Jin-young's past performances on social media.

There's nothing wrong with the singing, but isn't the makeup a bit too European and American? Her pursuit of beauty is written all over her face.

"kkk~ The thing pdnim regrets the most is when you formed Bombardment Meteor last year. He said he should have rejected the proposal of this limited group and formed a 2-person group with you." Yu Jeongyeon hugged Lim Nayeon and laughed like a pig!
Gong Cheng subconsciously glanced at Ming Jingnan who was stealing glances at him. The two of them engaged in a "mid-gate sniping" before each turning their heads away. "It would be nice to have a chance to cooperate."

He casually said that Park Jin-young had hinted to him about the cooperation! His smiling and attentive expression was just like the unspoken rules of the workplace!
"squeak~"

The door of the practice room was pushed open, and Zhang Yixing smiled and greeted the members of Twice, then waved to Gong Cheng, "Maknae, it's time for dinner, stop slacking off."

"Ani, it's break time now, how can you say I'm being lazy?" Gong Cheng paused after taking two steps - who in the entire JYP doesn't know that I work hard, fight hard, and sweat all over the practice room?
"Okay, okay, I can't argue with you!" Zhang Yixing smiled helplessly, then politely asked the Twice members, "Let's go get some barbecue nearby, want to join us?"

"No, Lay, we ordered takeout." Park Ji-hyo, as the leader, politely declined. They had indeed just ordered takeout, but it was all vegetarian salads and the like. Now that the group is back, their daily schedule and exposure require them to continue to maintain their figure.

"Let's go." Gong Cheng nodded and was about to leave the practice room when he passed by a "traitor".

Hirai Momo subtly elbowed Gong Cheng in the waist, "Swish~Swish~"

The sound of breaking air from her mouth was like some kind of secret code for spy contact - it made Gong Cheng's mouth twitch, and then he nodded, and followed Zhang Yixing out the door without saying a word.

Ming Jingnan was sitting next to Hirai Momo, and she heard the two inexplicable "咻咻咻" sounds clearly. After thinking about it, she guessed that it was the secret code between the "master and disciple" in front of her.

After all, that day at the gym, Hirai Momo had made that strange noise for the first time, and she had been right there. With a little thought, she understood what was going on. Perhaps she was going to ask Gong Cheng to pack her barbecue again?

No wonder it’s the “stealing line”!

"Momo-chan, don't be so noisy next time. If you're worried about being caught eating snacks by the members and your manager, just send me a message!" After entering the elevator, Gong Cheng took out his cell phone and sent a message to this slightly less intelligent apprentice.

You said you wanted to eat barbecue and wanted me to pack some for you, so you could just send me a message. Why did you puff out your lips like an idiot and make "whoosh whoosh whoosh" noises?

……

After lunch, the five members of Bombardment Meteor returned to JYP, each with their own tasks, either practicing dance in the practice room or rushing to the recording studio to record the re-released album that will be released in Japan.

As for Oh Sehun and Park Chanyeol, they returned to SM and worked hard on EXO's comeback, running back and forth between the two.

Gong Cheng came to the composition room carrying the still warm barbecue and soda. He opened the window to keep the air circulating so that the barbecue smell would not fill the whole room.

After turning on the air conditioner, he took off his baseball cap and sent a message to a certain "traitor" who had been waiting eagerly, "See you at the usual place! Come quickly!"

"(Salute)" Momo Hirai.

The old place was the composition room under Gong Cheng's feet, which had long since developed into a secret base for "stealing line". Every time he secretly brought snacks or something for this traitor, Hirai Momo would finish them here before returning to the practice room.

In less than five minutes, Momo Hirai came running up to him. She scratched him and asked, "Oppa, are you writing a song?"

"Yes." Gong Cheng nodded, watching her sitting on the sofa with great familiarity and naturalness, opening the packaged barbecue and sorting it into the lunch box, soaking it in water in one breath, eating the barbecue in one bite, stuffing her mouth full, and she did not forget to give him a thumbs up.

"Which restaurant is this, Oppa? It's much better than the one we went to last time."

She commented that it seemed to be to her liking.

"It's near Hongen-dong, recommended by Brother Lay. I've been going to the restaurants he recommended recently, and the food tastes pretty good." Gong Cheng said with a smile. Although Zhang Yixing has not stayed in Seoul as long as him, he looks more like an old Seoul native.

Every time he wants to go out to buy something, this guy will send him recommendations for shops and meals, and even recommends hotels...

"Eat slowly, Momo-chan, I'm busy now." Gong Cheng has long been accustomed to having a hamster-like mouth chewing non-stop beside him while he is working. At first, he could not stand it.

But Momo Hirai had nowhere to go, so she couldn't just squat in the corridor with her lunch box to eat. That would be too outrageous! Moreover, out of the deep affection between master and apprentice and the love for the "stealing line" little brother, he gradually got used to it...

"Don't worry, Oppa, I won't disturb you!" Momo Hirai shook her head, and smirked at the delicious barbecue. Her expression was so confident that she almost patted her chest to make a promise!
"Hehe... Haven't you disturbed me enough, Momo-chan?" Gong Cheng gave her a forced smile. Whenever he put on headphones, he would find this traitor standing behind him with a chicken leg or potato chips in his hand.

I watched him write songs while puffing out my cheeks.

Gong Cheng was very skeptical. Could the traitor understand it?

"What type of song are you going to sing, Oppa?" Momo Hirai licked the oil stains on her fingertips.

"Rock!" Gong Cheng said with a faint smile, then put on his headphones and listened to the arrangement he had recently worked hard on.

"Rockstar" made him a rock star of this era in the eyes of the media, but strictly speaking, the songs he made from his debut to now are mostly rap and pop.

But he also often listens to rock songs and quite likes them. The hoarse singing voice and heavy drum beats can better vent the burning anger in his heart.

The current situation of the group is a bit bizarre and ingenious. The bizarre thing is that the fog that once covered all the groups on the peninsula is now covering their heads. Every member is full of anger, and Gong Cheng feels that this anger and the fog above their heads are like continuous dark clouds, if this is a comic.

Then this thick fog will produce the most dazzling lightning, thunder and lightning! So when the content of his third album in the series was aimed at Europe, America and the world, he decided to make an album that leaned towards rock to shut up the people.

He also did not plan to shoot the MV for this album as usual, but decided to go to the United States with the members... This is also the reason why he asked Park Jin-young and Lee Soo-man to increase the budget and extend the return date.

"Believer" believer - Gong Cheng typed in the song title.

"The very beginning!"

"I will tell you all my true thoughts."

"..."

The prelude in the headphones, the dense drum beats are like a surging tide, short, powerful and passionate, like a cyber heartbeat that provokes a cha-cha dance, trembling!
"I'm tired of the monotony around me~ I'm already filled with anger~"

"And then~"

"You don't have to teach me to be who you expect me to be~"

"My destiny is in my own hands~ I steer the sea of ​​souls~"

The arrangement is a fusion of high-pitched rock and electronic music, and the sound of electric guitar strings adds a futuristic sense of technology and a passionate soul to the whole song.

For an all-English song, Gong Cheng had already made many considerations beforehand. For example, the song is more rock-oriented and has a rough and hoarse voice. If he wanted to find someone in the group to sing with him, someone would definitely have to make sacrifices.

That is to say, there are no parts. After all, for a rock song, if everyone's voices and singing are not well integrated, the effect and quality of the song will be greatly reduced. The members are all aware of this.

However, after Gong Cheng considered it, in future live performances, members without parts can hold electric guitars and accompany on stage, similar to the band model.

"Singing in despair amidst the sadness~"

"Examine yourself in your soul~"

"Seeing beauty in the unforgettable heart~"

"..."

Gong Cheng kept revising and rewriting the lyrics halfway through, feeling the need to do so. Finally, during the climax of the interlude, he gave Wu Sehun a part. Even though it was just a single-word harmony, it was better than nothing, right?
Momo Hirai, who was sitting on the sofa, patted her belly and wiped her mouth after selling the stolen goods.

Then he cleaned the disposable lunch boxes and the table with ease, threw the garbage into the trash can, and tied the black garbage bag with a knot to prevent outsiders from finding any clues.

After finishing all this, Hirai Momo took a bottle of unopened sparkling water and placed it on Gong Cheng's desk. Seeing this oppa staring at the screen and tapping on the keyboard from time to time, she said with a smile, "Take a break, oppa!"

Gong Cheng took off his headphones and asked, "Are you full?"

"I'm full. I can't even eat the potato chips in the practice room..." Hirai Momo spread her hands and then asked, "Want to go to the gym after get off work, Oppa?"

Although she eats a lot, as the main dancer, her training intensity is also very high, and her eating is strictly controlled. For example, now, after eating, she is already thinking about going to the gym after get off work.

"Okay, but it'll be a little later." Gong Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I have to go to the recording studio to work on the re-release of the album. I'll be done around 8 or 9."

"..."

"Xiao Cheng~" Jin Dae-woo knocked on the door of the composition room and saw a man and a woman inside. One spread his hands, and the other shrugged...

"What's wrong, Dayu?" Gong Cheng turned his head and asked. In his peripheral vision, Hirai Momo quietly lifted the trash bag from the trash can, preparing to thoroughly clean out the dirt. She smiled and greeted Jin Dayu, "Dayu Oppa, good afternoon."

Then he suddenly became smart, turned around and waved to Gong Cheng, "I'm leaving first, Oppa, see you at the gym."

Jin Dayu looked at the departing figure of Momo Hirai and glanced at Gong Cheng thoughtfully. Could this kid be in love?

No matter how you look at it, it would make people think too much if two single women were in the same room together!

"Just say what you want to say, brother..." Gong Cheng felt creepy when he saw Jin Dayu's green eyes. He couldn't help but say something, and then he understood what his brother was thinking. It was nothing but love.

"Are you in a relationship?" Jin Dae-woo asked with a wry smile.

"Will the company mind?" Gong Cheng asked back, and with a smile he opened the bottle of sparkling water that Hirai Momo had sent him and took a sip.

"No, but I still say that you have to report it in advance and the company should be prepared." Jin Dayu's heart instantly rose to his throat, although the guy he liked in the company had never marketed any bullshit personality of not falling in love before the age of 30.

On the contrary, he has been marketing himself as someone surrounded by scandals. After all, even if his relationship is exposed, what will happen? Will it ruin his reputation? When this guy was still an amateur, his relationship was always a big deal due to some unforeseen circumstances.

It's already a ruin, there's nothing to collapse! Even if it's revealed that Gong Cheng is dating, it will lose some meat and win some girlfriend fans, but the basic base is still there and nothing can be shaken.

But for things like this, it's best not to expose them. Even if you're dating secretly and your fans know it, they're willing to act like fools and pretend not to see it.

A saying from the fan circle - not exposed, not acknowledged, just not talked about!

This is also why the news of Park Chanyeol and Jackson Wang's relationship has become such a big deal! With idol backgrounds and high popularity, their fans are bound to be overwhelmed! Add to that the targeting and smear campaigns by the media and rival fans over the past two months.

Bombardment Meteor's popularity in China is extremely poor, so why did the recent news about Lin Yingxiong's relationship cause such a big reaction? He's a singer who debuted as an idol, so his relationship isn't a big deal.

But his current position is that he is in the group Bombardment Meteor, fanning the flames. Passersby and the public are watching you as a collective, not a single individual, just like the current speculation in public opinion.

You're a group of seven, and three of you are dating. What about the rest? Are you dating too? You're just hiding it, right? They're attacking you indiscriminately. Haters, haters, and the media all need you as an excuse to stir up trouble. Who cares about your background?
Who made you a member of Bombardment Meteor?

"No, brother. I'm still considering it. You know how many female artists in the circle have passed me notes. It's really difficult to make a decision!" Gong Cheng stood up with a smile and stretched his muscles.

Jin Dayu shook his head helplessly at the arrogant expression on his face. Although what the boy said was arrogant, it was the truth.

"Momo-chan came to ask me to work out with her in the evening. I taught them boxing." Gong Cheng swung two punches in the air in a childish manner, explaining in a disguised way why Hirai Momo appeared here.

He didn't mention the barbecue. He's the eldest brother after all! Loyalty comes first!
"Is that so?" Jin Dayu nodded.

"You should lose weight, brother. It's true... being overweight will make you sick." Gong Cheng reminded him, "By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Jin Dae-woo slapped his forehead and remembered the purpose of looking for him this time. "I almost forgot the main thing. Come with me, the president is waiting for you in the practice room."

……

The practice room mentioned by Kim Dae-woo led the two of them directly to the trainee department.

Park Jin Young was summarizing the trainees' recent practice results. The trainees from Class A were performing at their best, but when they saw the tall figure coming in from the door, they couldn't help but glance sideways.

"Hwang Yeji, Lee Chae-ryung...be serious!"

"Where are you looking?"

The instructor in charge of Class A looked very stern, and Park Jin Young stood in front of everyone. When he saw Gong Cheng coming, he nodded.

Gong Cheng did not disturb the trainees' performances, but stood aside and watched Huang Lizhi's dance moves.

I feel very relaxed when dancing.

"..."

"What's wrong, Brother Jinyoung?" Gong Cheng asked after Park Jinyoung finished his chicken soup speech. Could it be that he was called here just to watch the trainees' performance?
"Xiao Cheng, did you eat six meals yesterday?"

Park Jin Young sat on the sofa with a worried expression. He looked at Gong Cheng in front of him. He always knew that this kid had a physique that could not gain weight, but he didn't eat and drink so much on weekdays, right?
"Me? 6 meals?" Gong Cheng's Adam's apple rolled and he looked at Park Jin Young in confusion.

In JYP's company cafeteria, everyone has to swipe the meal card issued by the company to eat, and the meal card will also record the number of meals and food types of each artist and trainee. So, generally speaking, the company will have a special supervising teacher to check how many meals an artist has eaten in the cafeteria.

Especially for artists who are in the comeback period, they are extremely strict in managing their body shape.

The problem is, he didn't eat at the company yesterday! And he didn't have his meal card with him either. He gave it to Momo-chan and Bunny Girl two days ago.

"Six meals a day in the afternoon, the cafeteria has the data." Park Jin Young folded his hands and said worriedly, "I know you have a physique that doesn't gain weight and you manage your body well, but eating like this will cause problems, Xiao Cheng!"

“…” Gong Cheng scratched his hair and immediately understood what was going on!

It must have been the Twice guys using their meal cards to buy food in the cafeteria! Holy crap! How much can these lunatics eat? He knew their manager had confiscated their meal cards, specifically for weight management reasons. That's why when Momo Hirai asked for them the other day, he gave them his without hesitation. It's normal to have a meal extra, as long as you don't overdo it, but can you guys use some common sense? He was speechless.

I finally understand why the company confiscated their meal cards!

"Isn't that what you ate, Xiao Cheng?" Park Jin Young's face suddenly became serious. If it wasn't what Gong Cheng ate, he wouldn't have such patience for other artists. Body management is a very serious matter, especially during the comeback period.

Gong Cheng opened his mouth with an obscure expression, glanced at Jin Dae-woo who was covering his mouth and laughing, and the instructor in charge of the trainee department... Fortunately, the trainees were not there, otherwise he couldn't imagine how outrageous it would be if this matter got out?

Big Eater Tarot?

"No." Gong Cheng shook his head decisively, but then decided to share the blame with his good brothers. "Sehun and the others used my card to pay. One meal for each of the six of us."

That makes sense! He couldn't understand why Park Jin-young was so easily convinced that he'd eaten six meals. Shouldn't he be skeptical about something like that?

So instead of letting this guy suspect me, it’s better to just let this matter go.

"Oh, I see~" Park Jin-young nodded, suddenly enlightened. One meal per person was normal. It seemed that the children were strictly managing their body shape. "That really surprised me, six meals in one afternoon."

"Hehe, brother, I was also shocked when I heard what you said!" Gong Cheng nodded in agreement with a forced smile. He really didn't know what to say to the members of Twice!
……

As night fell, the practice of Bombardment Meteor and Twice came to an end.

Gong Cheng stood in Twice's practice room, his eyes wandering over the nine members, determined to catch these six brainless idiots!

Zhou Ziyu nudged Gong Cheng's shoulder and said, "Oppa, why do you seem to be hesitant to speak? Just say whatever you want to say."

"It's okay." Gong Cheng forced a smile and glanced at Twice's manager who was standing not far away.

If I tell you now, you idiots will be dead, right?

"Are you really okay? I see you've been sitting there for a long time, Oppa." Sun Caiying said seriously. She knew her boyfriend very well, and she could tell that there was something wrong with his smile.

Every time he comes to Twice's practice room, he doesn't smile like a jerk...

After a while, when Twice's manager was about to go back to the manager's office to pack up his belongings after get off work, Gong Cheng stood up and closed the door of the practice room, determined to catch these six brainless thieves.

"stand at attention!"

Looking at the lazy appearance of the members, he clapped his hands helplessly and decided to hold an internal meeting of the group.

"If you have something to say, just say it quickly. I'm so tired..." Minatozaki Sana rolled her eyes at him unhappily, not knowing what this rascal was trying to do.

"Sana-chan, do you want to go to the gym with me and Oppa? Mina-chan, are you coming?" Momo Hirai was so busy trying to find some partners to go to the gym together. She had to burn the calories from the barbecue she secretly ate in the afternoon!
"Who used my meal card to buy six meals yesterday?" Gong Cheng sighed and asked out loud. He was even more curious than Park Jin Young. Who were these six talented people?
Aren’t you supposed to have six meals a day? How about six meals in one afternoon?

Hearing his question, the practice room suddenly became quiet.

Momo Hirai picked up her phone a little embarrassedly and pretended to be busy - in short, in Gong Cheng's eyes, it seemed that everyone was guilty!

"Did pdnim look for you?" Lin Nayeon jumped to her boyfriend and asked awkwardly.

"Oh my? Did pdnim look for you, oppa?" Momo Hirai stood up as if under pressure, her expression a little nervous.

Gong Cheng nodded and looked at the traitor's reaction! This guy is definitely here!
"Ani, don't worry, I didn't betray you. You know how loyal I am!" Looking at the nervous expressions of the members, Gong Cheng couldn't help but speechless. What were those expressions? Did they think I would betray you?
Didn’t you see my loyalty in the past?

"So, who ate six meals? Step out!"

Chou Tzuyu pursed her lips and chuckled as she took a step forward. Son Chaeyoung yawned, Kim Dahyun put on her businesslike smile again, Minatozaki Sana squinted her eyes a little embarrassed, and Hirai Momo opened her mouth and turned her head to look at the members who stood up, looking a little proud?
"What about the other one?" Gong Cheng scanned the crowd with sharp eyes, and when he saw Ming Jingnan glance at him, he became silent.

It wasn't until someone poked his spine that Gong Cheng identified the last accomplice!
Lim Nayeon! Bunny Dad!

Sigh... Gong Cheng glanced at the six members with a complicated expression, feeling that none of them were smart...

"Oppa, we need to grow up..." Kim Da-hyun hugged Chou Tzu-yu and Son Chae-young on the left and right, trying to make excuses for the food crew.

Gong Cheng nodded and reluctantly agreed to this reason!
Minatozaki Sana blinked her eyes, Hirai Momo raised her fists and raised her eyebrows at him, only Lim Nayeon hugged her shoulders and looked calmly at the members who wanted to excuse themselves.

She is not afraid at all. This is her own man. How can he teach her a lesson?

"Hey, I'm not angry, why are you blinking?" Gong Cheng realized that the members seemed to have misunderstood his meaning and said helplessly, "The company's body management is really too strict..."

"But, can everyone..." He pointed to his head, trying to be more tactful. He couldn't just say bluntly, "Are your brains too slow?"
Isn't that offensive?
"Forget it, forget it..." Miya Makoto looked at the confused expressions of Minatozaki Sana and Hirai Momo. There was no hope!
He waved his hand and made a suggestion, "I've already told Brother Lay and Brother Jackson. Next time you go to the cafeteria, you can borrow their meal cards."

"Remember, borrow one per person. Don't try to swipe the card too hard on one person, or you'll be caught!" Gong Cheng thought of the scene where Park Jin Young came looking for him, and he was speechless and wanted to laugh. "Anyway, don't let such a funny thing happen again."

"Brother Zhenying, it must be scary when you get angry, right?"

Gong Cheng stroked his chin and thought for a while. Although he had never seen this brother get angry with him, looking at his face, he could be very fierce when he got angry!

After all, it is recognized by the nation as a "gorilla". Gorillas don't look good when they smile, so it would be a miracle if they look good when they are angry!

"Yes, sir!" The three members of the mess hall saluted in unison.

"Just a reminder to you guys, you still have to take good care of your body." Gong Cheng smiled and said, "It's best to go to the gym."

……

On June 6, Gong Cheng and the members went to a national elementary school in Mapo District.

After communication between the company and the school, large and small bags of recording equipment were moved into the auditorium on campus, where they would sample the arrangement of the new song.

Rows of elementary school students stood on the stage of the auditorium. Under the arrangement of the school teachers, the children changed into the costumes prepared by JYP. The little girls combed their hair and put on white dresses with puffy hems.

The little boys were wearing black shorts and black suits, with the required badges on their chests.

Standing next to the director's camera, Jin Dae-woo sighed, "He collected the samples and the footage needed for the music video at the same time. This guy's ideas are always so wild."

"Yes, a world-famous producer!" The director smiled as he watched the heartwarming scene in the camera.

Gong Cheng sat beside a piano, his figure tall and straight, his fingers pressing the keys, producing one pleasant and soft note after another.

The members of Bombardment Meteor stood in front of the children, either holding microphones or batons, as if they were about to play a symphony.

Zhang Yixing and Park Chanyeol were squatting in front of a little boy, helping him adjust the funny little bow tie on his chest.

Gong Cheng adjusted the earring on his ear, then glanced at the children and members who were ready. He chuckled and made an OK gesture to the director's camera, indicating that they could begin.

I came here today to sample a lyrical song called "Circles".

The overall song is still full of emotional tension and is relatively soft - but he hasn't decided which album in the series to include this song in.

The director raised his fist to signal the staff around him to shut up and keep quiet.

After all, so much manpower and resources were spent, and in the end we were able to record less times, so the children and the boys on the stage could rest earlier.

Gong Cheng turned around - on the stage, hundreds of children were standing on the stairs, forming five rows in total, from tall to short. The short ones stood in the front, in the first row, with their black leather shoes on the floor. The tall ones stood in the second and third rows, and so on, ensuring that every child could show their face.

"Huai Ting?!" Gong Cheng smiled at the children who looked embarrassed and nervous, and signaled them to relax.

Then he turned around, and soft and soothing piano music sounded from his fingertips.

Lin Yingxiong stood in front of the stage, holding the microphone, "Where am I going~"

"What are you searching for so hard~"

"When I want to cry loudly, I go to the place closest to the sky~" Gong Cheng leaned forward and spoke tenderly into the microphone, "I won't let anyone see my tears~"

This song, "Circles," contains what he wants to say to the members, what he wants to say to the members who have been cyberbullied, what he wants to say to himself, and what he wants to say to Bombardment Meteor and the "Stargazers."

Therefore, this soothing song is extremely rich in emotion.

"So many times~I couldn't even speak~"

"Although I'm breathing~"

"..."

The members' voices sang word by word, and the dim yet brilliant auditorium was filled with the singing of Bombardment Meteor.

"Everything will be fine~ just like the clock~"

"Everything will come back to the starting point."

After singing this line of lyrics, Gong Cheng loosened his fingers on the black and white piano keys.

In the director's lens, on the stage shining with golden light, Oh Sehun and Park Chanyeol stood on the left and right sides of the children, swinging the batons in their hands forward, and hundreds of children looked like swans and little boys.

Everyone raised their heads and sang the original soundtrack that needed to be sampled~
“La la la la la la la la la la la~”

"La la la ~ la la la ah la la la ~"

"..."

The harmony of the Bombardment Meteor group was also there, interwoven with the clear and innocent voices of the children...

……

In the afternoon, when Gong Cheng was listening to the live sample of the original performance through headphones and finally achieved a satisfactory result, he smiled brilliantly and applauded the nervous children on the stage, "Passed!"

“You sang very well!”

"kkk~" The members of Bombardment Meteor expressed their admiration for the children generously and interacted with them one by one.

"Sometimes you really can't tell that you are big stars." The school director who is responsible for ensuring the safety of the children sighed as he stood next to Gong Cheng.

With hundreds of children cooperating in the recording, supervision by school management is definitely required. As for the live audio source and other things, JYP is not afraid of it being leaked, as many things are written in the contract.

"So what do you think a big star should be like?" Gong Cheng asked with a smile, loosening the collar of his shirt.

"If they are popular artists, should they always wear sunglasses, hats and masks? If they are serious, it will be difficult for people to get close to them..." The director pushed his square glasses and spoke a lot like pouring beans.

Gong Cheng couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Brother, are you talking about an agent?"

"So, can we take a picture together, Tarot?" The school director patted Gong Cheng's tall shoulder and asked with a smile, "I'm going to hang it in my office, haha."

Before Gong Cheng could answer, several children, both boys and girls, ran down from the stage of the auditorium. Their childish faces were full of smiles, and their mouths were grinning, as if they were leaking air, as if they were still in the teething period.

"Oppa, can we take a picture together?"

"Can I sign it?"

"Oh mom said that Oppa's autograph is very valuable! It can be exchanged for a lot of money! With money, you can..."

"..."

The chattering sound made Gong Cheng, Jin Dayu and the school staff burst into laughter.

"Ah, you know how to help your family earn money at such a young age? Then I have to sign one for you, haha." Gong Cheng squatted down, took the signature pen from Jin Dayu, took the textbooks they were holding, and signed his name with a chuckle.

"The book is all blank? You need to study hard, you hear?"

He flipped through the blank pages of the child's book in front of him. He saw that the child was just a playful kid with no interest in the textbook, so he made up a story, "If you don't study hard, the signature will disappear on its own..."

"Really, Mo Oppa?" The little girl squatting in front of him stared at him seriously.

"Of course it's fake, Xiyuan." The little boy next to her said her name.

Gong Cheng smiled without saying anything and returned the textbook to her.

"Che Hao, I don't believe you!" The little girl glared at her deskmate while holding her book, then stood up and said to Gong Cheng, "Then I will study hard!"

"Inside~"

……

6 month 8 number.

Halsey, who is far away in the United States, came to Seoul. She has reached a collaboration with Bombardment Meteor and will sing for "Boy With Luv". This collaboration is not only about the sound source, but also includes co-starring in the MV.

At night, Gong Cheng and his seven friends invited Halsey to have dinner together. Then, at Halsey's personal wish, they all went to a club in Gangnam and started their nightlife.

In Wu Sehun's car, Gong Cheng, after reporting to his female relatives, chuckled and said to Halsey, "I'm in Seoul and want to know which club has a better atmosphere, better drinks, and a better environment..."

"Just look for Jackson and the others."

"Newly opened, closed, shut down, messy! We can handle them all!"

"Of course I know, Tarot." Halsey got up and got out of the car, walking in the basement and talking to Gong Cheng. "I got to know your group last year in the United States, so I know about your Gangnam Dance King and everything."

As she spoke, she laughed - Gong Cheng felt that she was like-minded with them.

After all, this girl is also a bold person! Otherwise, she wouldn't have searched for a dance floor after landing in Seoul and filling her stomach.

Everyone came to the private room opened by Park Jae-bum. Park Chanyeol and Wang Jiaer had only a few drinks before going downstairs with Halsey to the dance floor to have some fun.

Gong Cheng, Wu Sehun and others sat by the window, watching the men and women dancing below, and couldn't help laughing.

"Tomorrow is a day off, what are your plans?" Wu Sehun clinked glasses with him boredly and asked the members.

"I have to accompany my father." Lin Yingxiong took a sip of wine.

Park Jae-Bum: "I'm going to watch a boxing match. I'm thinking of setting up a boxing club and signing a few boxers."

"I want to go horseback riding in Jeju Island." Zhang Yixing stretched and expressed his thoughts, "Sehun, maknae, do you want to go with us?"

Gong Cheng glanced at the female relatives in the first group, the water dispenser managers in the second group, and his ex-girlfriend. It seemed like they all had no time tomorrow?

Really are……

He had no choice but to nod. Within two minutes, Gong Cheng received a call from Park Jin Young, asking him what he was doing. He said that he wanted to talk to the members about cooperation on the family concert.

"Brother Zhenying!" Gong Cheng covered the microphone, listening to the restless drumbeats in the bar beside him. He didn't want to respond because if he agreed, it would be endless, with several more stage collaborations. So he shouted, "I'm busy with social events!"

Halsey is here, how come it's not considered a social event?
