After the return period of "WE GO UP" ended, Mark Lee officially announced his withdrawal from the team.

NCT DREAM will continue to carry out activities as a six-member group.

That afternoon, because there was no public schedule, Huang Renjun and Zhong Chenle made an appointment with Zheng Enlin to go out to sing karaoke and have dinner.

Including Mark Lee, there are a total of seven members of NCT DREAM. Among them, Lee Di-nu and Huang In-jun are the two most at home, and rarely go out during their breaks.

The other members of the group are very aware of their characteristics, and they are often rejected every day. When they go out together to cross the road, they will know better and ignore them. However, due to the close relationship between them, sometimes, Li

Haechan, Na Jae-min and others will still take the initiative to ask Lee Di-nu and Hwang In-jun when they plan to go out.

Such as this time.

"I'm not going, I want to sleep." Li Dinu simply refused the invitation from a close friend. Huang Renjun, who was also asked about it, his eyes wandered for a while, and he said without confidence: "I have already made an appointment with Chenle.

"

"Well, we're going out together later." Compared to Huang Renjun, who was guilty and nervous, Zhong Chenle was obviously much more generous.

He did not take the initiative to mention Zheng Enlin, but only put on an arrogant look like "We just want to go out alone without making a date with you."

"Hey Yigu... I really feel isolated." Li Kaican pretended to cry for a while, but Zhong Chenle and Huang Renjun ignored him.

Luo Zaimin glanced at the close relative next to him with disgust, put his arm around Park Zhisheng's shoulders and walked straight out.

Li Kaican, who had been ruthlessly abandoned, held back his tears for a second and followed the two of them. Huang Renjun and Zhong Chenle, who stayed where they were, looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Afterwards, they went back to the room and changed into clothes suitable for going out, then put on hats and masks. The Huang Zhong duo took a taxi and arrived near the KTV they had agreed on in advance.

In order to avoid being illegitimate, the two of them moved separately with a tacit understanding. They walked back and forth in various shops and shopping malls here for several times before finally entering the KTV through the side door next to the shopping mall.

Although there were only three people, they still booked a relatively spacious medium-sized package.

Zheng Enlin came early and was sitting on the sofa alone playing with her mobile phone.

The hair is simply tied into a low ponytail, with a few strands hanging down on both sides, giving it an indescribable natural agility.

Viewed from the side, the girl's eyelashes are thick and curled, casting a gray shadow on her eyelids. Very few people have such beautiful natural eyelashes, and they look a bit unreal. No wonder Lee Haechan turned out to be

I want to give Zheng Enlin a nickname: Eyelash Essence.

As the Chinese Iron Triangle among friends, this is not the first time for Zheng Enlin and Huang Renjun and Zhong Chenle to hang out together, and it is certainly not the first time for them to come to KTV to sing together.

After Huang Renjun opened the door and walked into the private room, Zheng Enlin put down her mobile phone and naturally handed over a microphone.

Huang Renjun, who was wearing a sweatshirt, cooperated to take it. Zhong Chenle, who was standing next to him, went directly to the song request screen in the corner and started to request songs. A small part of Korean songs, a part of English songs, plus many lyrical Chinese songs.

Zheng Enlin sat lazily on the sofa, waiting for Huang Renjun and Zhong Chenle to finish singing several songs before getting up and walking to click on the song screen. She chose to pin the first song to be sung today——

NCT DREAM’s “WE GO UP”.

Huang Renjun: "..."

Zhong Chenle: "..."

To be honest, the two of them couldn't do anything like singing their own group's songs at KTV.

Listening to Zheng Enlin singing with a cheerful face while holding the microphone, it made them dig their toes on the ground in embarrassment.

When the tortured three minutes were over, Huang Renjun breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't even want to watch the last MV screen, so he quickly ran to the song screen and pressed the song cut button.

"WE GO UP" was followed by an English song requested by Zhong Chenle. Huang Renjun stood in front of the song requesting screen and tried to enter a string of song titles. As expected, the result was empty. He was not willing to accept it and entered it in the singer column again.

There were only two or three scattered songs in the results column corresponding to the word Fiona Sit, and the song "Quelo Reeves Replies" that he wanted to sing still didn't appear.

This Cantonese song by Fiona Sit Kai-chi was released to the public as early as 2004. However, due to language limitations and the fact that the singer himself is not as famous and popular in Korea as the older generation of Hong Kong singers, Huang Renjun is very popular in these KTVs in Seoul.

It is rare to find a song by Fiona Sit, let alone a relatively niche song like "Quelo Reeves Replies".

Pulling his hair a little unhappy, Huang Renjun silently suppressed the regret in his heart and ordered another Chinese song he wanted to sing.

If there are other people present who don’t know the inside story, they will probably be surprised. After all, Huang Renjun and Zhongchenle’s main job is to be singers. Especially during the comeback period, they frequently record and sing songs. Some songs are so noisy that they can almost knock people out.

Sing and spit.

As many people have said, don’t treat your hobby as a job. Working as a worker is too hard. Over time, you will develop a rejection mentality even if you do something you like. Just like many fellow artists and senior employees in the company, we rarely go there in private.

KTV.

Huang Renjun and Zhong Chenle are rare exceptions.

After spending most of the afternoon at the KTV and finishing two fruit plates and many bottles of drinks, the three of them walked out of the KTV at a staggered time and headed to the place where they had dinner.

Zheng Enlin didn't have to hide from the illegitimate child, she would naturally arrive the fastest.

She casually picked up the menu in the box and started to read it. After finishing it, she started playing with her mobile phone. About half an hour later, Zhong Chenle, fully armed, walked into the box quickly and the first thing he said was: "Renjun suddenly has something to do. I'll wait for you."

Are you going to have dinner with us?"

Zheng Enlin was a little surprised. She clicked on Kakatalk and took a look and found that Huang Renjun had sent her a message more than ten minutes ago, saying that he had something to do and would not be able to come over in the evening.

"Okay." Zheng Enlin put down her phone and handed over the menu on the table. "Fortunately, I haven't ordered yet. If we just order too much, we probably won't be able to finish it."

Zhong Chenle hummed, took the menu and looked at it. After that, the two of them discussed and ordered four dishes.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Zheng Enlin and Zhong Chenle chatted almost the whole time. However, during the chat, she would also take out her phone to check a few times to avoid missing important messages.

The girl's performance was very natural. Compared with her, Zhong Chenle's posture was actually slightly stiff. Especially when Zheng Enlin's attention was on her mobile phone, Zhong Chenle didn't even know what she should do and was looking at her mobile phone.

Well, it seems a bit embarrassing. If you don’t look at it, it feels awkward.

Zhong Chenle knew the reason for this——

Before this, he and Zheng Enlin had never been alone together.

Li Haichan's teasing that they are the Chinese Iron Triangle has always been justified. Whether they were in the company or privately arranged to go out for activities, they were always the three of them together. Of course, Zhong Chenle had been alone with Huang Renjun. After he entered S.M.

Before, Huang Renjun and Zheng Enlin should have had some alone time together.

But he is different from Zheng Enlin.

Before today and this moment, Zhong Chenle had never had the experience of just the two of them communicating face to face.

After eating, the two left the restaurant through the back door and walked to the road together to take a taxi.

Zheng Enlin put her hands in her pockets and stood quietly on the roadside.

Today she wore a light-colored lace top, a striped knitted skirt, and a lightweight sun-protective shirt on top.

I don't know when the hair tie used to tie my hair was taken off, and my naturally long hair, with my natural cold white skin, exuded a little bit of luster under the dark yellow halo of the street lights.

Zhong Chenle looked up at the intersection not far away. There were green lights and a few hurried figures walking across the eye-catching crosswalk.

Looking away slightly bored, Zhong Chenle turned his head and looked at the person beside him.

There was an evening breeze blowing her long hair, and the girl tucked the strands of hair behind her ears. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught Zhong Chenle's eyes on her, raised her face and smiled.

On the roadside at night when there are few people around, the girl is the most stunning look.

Zhong Chenle looked at Zheng Enlin like this, and he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

Why is it embarrassing?

Why do you feel awkward?

——Because he has a ghost in his heart.

Zhong Chenle realized that his thoughts and feelings for Zheng Enlin were not actually that pure.

When Huang Renjun was around, he was natural, generous and bold, and could even laugh at the insecurities of his good friends.

It was as if I had never had feelings for Zheng Enlin that were more than just friends.

Is he deceiving himself?

Is he acting subconsciously?

He is deceiving himself.

He has always been acting subconsciously.

In front of Lee Din-nu, in front of Hwang In-jun, in front of all the members of NCT DREAM.

——Also in front of Zheng Enlin.

Russian writer Vladimir said in "Lolita" that there are three things that people cannot hide: cough, poverty and love.

These three things, the more you try to hide them, the more obvious they become.

The car lights shining in the distance reflected in Zheng Enlin's eyes, like a stream of light passing by.

The girl reached out to stop the taxi approaching the two of them, and at the last moment when she bent down and got into the back seat of the car, Zhong Chenle held the door with one hand and looked up at the intersection not far away.

Eye-catching crosswalks, silent roadside lights——
