Thinker in the entertainment industry

"sorry."

This was the first sentence that Zheng Zhiyong, who had just had a quarrel with Li Taemin half an hour ago so fiercely that any bystander would think that they were going to turn against each other, said after seeing Li Taemin.

what?

Li Taemin didn't expect Zheng Zhiyong to say that, so his brain froze again—to be precise, too many things happened today that Li Taimin didn't expect, his brain has been overloaded, and from time to time Stuck.

Zheng Zhiyong didn't seem surprised by Li Taemin's reaction. He pursed his lips and continued: "I was wrong just now, I shouldn't say that about you."

Zheng Zhiyong's voice was not as hoarse as before, but it was still trembling, with a strange sense of difficulty.Such a voice pulled back Li Taimin's mind, and also pulled back his guilt suppressed by shame and anger. He looked at Zheng Zhiyong, his face flushed unconsciously, "No", he said, "It's mine. Wrong, I shouldn't have done that in the first place."

What happened next was not the usual smile, Zheng Zhiyong was silent for a while, he didn't know what he was thinking, and then he squatted down: "I know."

Li Taemin quickly squatted down, only to hear Zheng Zhiyong whispering: "I still don't think your approach is appropriate, but that can't cover up the mistake I made."

But this time Li Taemin was not ashamed and angry as before, Zheng Zhiyong was tricked like that, and finally asked him to admit his mistakes, what else could he ask for?What's more, Li Taimin also knew that he was not without fault. "Yes, what I did was wrong. Even if I didn't know it was an allergy, I shouldn't have secretly added something you said you wouldn't eat to your bowl without your knowing. Brother, what's wrong with your throat? "In the end, Li Taimin's tone was obviously cautious.

Zheng Zhiyong reached out and touched his throat: "It should be fine, the allergy to buckwheat damages the respiratory tract, not the vocal cords, and my allergies are actually not serious. If my father is like that, it will really kill me."

"Your father?"

"My allergies are hereditary. My dad encountered a situation before. He said he was allergic, but he was confronted by an idiot who thought that allergies were squeamish. He secretly... and almost died, and he couldn't pursue legal responsibility." Zheng Zhiyong whispered.

Li Taemin blushed even more.He now understands why Zheng Zhiyong didn't say that he was allergic at that time - Zheng Zhiyong learned from his father's lesson, but ended up meeting friends who took him for granted that he was a picky eater.In contrast, a friend like him seems to be more difficult to forgive. "I……"

"Don't say I'm sorry anymore," Zheng Zhiyong said with a wry smile, "I can only say, it's all fate——"

He sighed exaggeratedly, and put his hand on Lee Taemin's shoulder as a sign of comfort.Li Taemin also smiled, then looked at Zheng Zhiyong, hesitant to speak.

"By the way, Taemin, is it your idea to put soba noodles in my bowl, or are other people also fanning the flames?" Zheng Zhiyong asked suddenly.

Li Taemin was frightened: Huh?How do you know everything?

He didn't speak, but the answers were written all over his face. "Looks like I guessed it right," Zheng Zhiyong said, "Is it everyone?"

Li Taemin nodded: "Brother, how did you guess that?" Zheng Zhiyong's already tall image in his heart took another step forward, from "omnipotent" to "omniscient".

"You guys were very obvious, but I was too angry at that time to think about it." Zheng Zhiyong looked down at the ground and whispered, "When you recover, you will find something."

"What?" Li Taemin asked in confusion.

"Why did I say that about you in the first place." Zheng Zhiyong said.

The peaceful atmosphere just now stagnated again. Li Taimin opened his mouth, but his mind was blank.Zheng Zhiyong said that he will understand when he recovers, but now Li Taemin is still immersed in the sense of gratitude that "thank God this incident did not cause irreparable consequences", and there is still a long way to go before "recovering".

"I'm nervous, more precisely, I'm on guard against you."

"Because of debut?" Li Taimin responded.

"Only one of us can debut, I hope that person is me", Zheng Zhiyong sighed, "I know I need to adjust my mentality, but I didn't adjust well."

This answer made Li Taemin feel relieved, because he and Zheng Zhiyong had similar ideas, and no one was much better than the other. "I also hope that I can make a debut, but bro." Li Taemin smiled and gave Zheng Zhiyong a bad idea, "Think about ckbeat and TVXQ, they are two years away from their debut, this time, it may not be..." Red ?

"You try to say this in the company?"

"I definitely don't dare, Mr. Huang Shangxun will fix me well," Li Taimin said, looking around to make sure no one noticed, "but why don't you try thinking this way? Anyway, with my brother's ability, as long as I don't If there is any accident, I can afford to wait, this time I won’t be able to debut, and after two or three years, I’m afraid I’ll be the captain of the new group.”

"Can't you afford to wait more?" You are one year younger than me, Li Taemin.

Li Taemin had a sad face: "So everyone thinks you should make your debut this time."

Zheng Zhiyong was at a loss for words, and after a few seconds, the two of them laughed together.

"I really want to debut this time, not only because I am fully prepared and the age is right, but also because the timing is good." After laughing, Zheng Zhiyong said softly.

"opportunity?"

"I discussed it with my family. Judging from this year's situation, idol singers are about to rise, and the market is far from saturated. If they debut next year, as long as there are no major accidents, they should be able to climb to a good position."

Li Taemin expressed his admiration: "I didn't think of this, but... what if I didn't debut?" Brother will be very disappointed.

"That's why I'm so nervous," Zheng Zhiyong said, "There is no debut situation, I have thought about it, then I will ask about how many years to launch a new group, and I will go to other companies before I wait, these two years The planning agency that wants to promote a new group is not only sm, but they must use it if they have a background." Zheng Zhiyong almost gritted his teeth to say the last sentence.

Li Taemin laughed and laughed: "Brother, you are so cute in the background."

Then Zheng Zhiyong gave him a sharp look.

"Although I said it, my nervousness will probably be cured when one of us debuts." Zheng Zhiyong tried to stand up, but he obviously had poor blood circulation after squatting for too long. The soft body tilted and almost fell back again. Li Taemin next to him saw this scene, and slowly stood up with a suppressed smile, "Oh, it would be great if we could debut together this time."

"I hope too, but the possibility is very small." Li Taemin said.

"Well," Jung Jiyong looked at Lee Taemin, "If we debut one after the other, how about working hard in the direction of TVXQ and Super Junior's seniors? During this time...I will continue to work hard to adjust."

"The Honglan family? That's good." After the words were finished, Li Taemin was in a particularly comfortable mood. At this moment, he remembered something again, "Brother, your allergies...is it really okay?"

"I don't think it's a big problem, but just to be on the safe side, I plan to go home and take a look. I've already called and asked for leave. I won't be going back to the dormitory tonight. If nothing happens, I'll go back tomorrow night." Zheng Zhi Yong simply moved his legs that were still a little numb, and took two steps with a limp, "It's getting late, so I'll leave first."

"Then, brother Zhiyong, see you tomorrow." Li Taimin stood where he was, and waved to Zheng Zhiyong's back.

Zheng Zhiyong stopped, did not turn around, but raised his right arm, flipped his palms, and waved his back to Li Taimin, his voice was not loud, and his tone was brisk: "Goodbye."

That was the last time Lee Taemin saw Jung Jiyong.

"That's right, we were reconciled that night." Li Taemin was not at all surprised by Jin Zhongren's astonishment.

"But……"

"But the next day, he didn't come, he just disappeared."

"The rumor?"

"The other people who went with him said it. After he disappeared suddenly, his family came to terminate the contract, but no one knew what happened. Even the person in charge of the contract issue was told that it was just 'physical reasons, can't It's just his debut. As the 'last' person to see him, he has to give an explanation."

Zheng Zhiyong signed a trainee contract with SM, so even though he disappeared, his family members quietly came to the company to discuss the termination of the contract.It is true that sm is more strict about trainees leaving and leaving. They also prevent trainees who have been trained for several years and go to other companies to make sm make wedding dresses for others. Zheng Zhiyong's parents are people of social status. They said that Zheng Zhiyong couldn't make his debut due to his health, and the requirement of not being able to run to other companies for a few years in the sm contract is definitely not a problem, so sm didn't get to the bottom of it.

But people have a desire to explore. In the eyes of everyone, the last thing Zheng Zhiyong did before disappearing was to go out to eat with a few people.And the other trainees who were traveling with Zheng Zhiyong all remembered Zheng Zhiyong's pain when he was allergic.

They would not, and dare not, take the responsibility on their own initiative, ambiguously saying: "The other day Li Taemin put a few buckwheat noodles in Zheng Zhiyong's bowl, and it turned out that Zheng Zhiyong was severely allergic to buckwheat." Zheng Zhiyong quarreled with Li Taemin What he said at the time was also spread out in bits and pieces.

A scapegoat just fell on Li Taimin's body.

"But..." Jin Zhongren vaguely felt something was wrong, he thought for a long time, and finally thought of the problem, "If it really has something to do with you, why didn't his family members mention it at all when they came to the company?"

"That's right, some people want it, but not everyone," Lee Taemin said, "It's easy to think that a new group will be launched soon, and I have a position conflict with him. The possibility of his debut is far higher than mine. Yes, I put allergens in his food at the critical moment of his debut selection."

The reason why rumors are easy to be popular is that they are simple, easy to understand, and exciting. SM is the first boy group launched after three years. During the selection of members, there was a thing about adding allergens to the food of teammates for debut. Is there anything more exciting than this?

"There are people who understand, so the rumors were suppressed, and I made my debut in the end, but among them, some of them think that Zheng Zhiyong's disappearance is somehow related to me, and some of them are regretful."

"Shinee made a good debut, but then he lost his tone. In 09, he was overwhelmed by 2pm, and it will be difficult to reach the top. When I first debuted, my singing skills were not good, my appearance was not outstanding, my entertainment skills were not good, let alone my acting skills , apart from dancing, I don’t have any other specialties, and I have been in charge of screens in the group for two or three years. In those years, I occasionally heard a saying: If Zheng Zhiyong made his debut..."

Li Taemin stopped walking, the muscles on his face showed an unnatural expression due to tension and stiffness, "I shouldn't always think about this," he said in a low voice, "but I always have a question, want to Understand, although it's all a thing of the past."

Seven years later, the name "Zheng Zhiyong" has already become a thing of the past in SM.And Li Taemin, who has evolved from almost nothing but dancing to a recognized stage king who is excellent in singing and dancing, and has proved himself with brilliant solo achievements, will no longer receive doubts about the rationality of his debut.However, the day before, I was still thinking "Of course it's good for me to debut. If I can't debut, it would be good for my close friends to be seniors and practice for a few more years." In a blink of an eye, they were said to be "frauding friends for the opportunity to debut", and rumors began to flood the company. , and later spread to some illegitimate students. A better way to say it is "There is no way that Zheng Zhiyong is not here so I have to let Li Taemin go."... Li Taemin never thought that his debut would be like this, never thought of it.

"Passed?" Jin Zhongren said subconsciously.

Li Taemin scratched his head. At first he just wanted to talk about the events of the year in a peaceful manner, but in the end he found that his emotions were still a little out of control: "It's been seven years, I can't keep thinking about it, I still have doubts. The rest... nothing."

He pretended to be calm and said.
