"Why aren't there those large main waiting rooms arranged?"
When Byun Baekhyun said this, Kim Jong-in and the others immediately echoed. The EXO members did not find a place to sit, and frowned slightly as they observed the slightly narrow waiting room.
Today's MMA is held at Gocheok Dome in Guro District. EXO has held concerts here for several days and is very familiar with the backstage of Gocheok Dome. They all know that there are many suitable lounges backstage.
.
To be honest, the size of this waiting room is okay and spacious, but for a large group of nine members like EXO, as well as a management team and many cody who will always be around, it will seem a bit small.
But even if it might be crowded, it doesn't mean it can't be used...it's just that the organizer should know such details.
Agent An Chengyuan also felt that there was a slight problem. He looked around and frowned slightly. He waved his hand and said something before walking out: "You guys sit down first. I will go and communicate with the on-site PD..."
The other members also nodded and sat down without paying much attention to it. Chi Jingyuan was too lazy to care about this kind of thing. He found a seat next to the sofa and started to catch up on his sleep as soon as he put his things down.
While half asleep and half awake, I heard some noises, it seemed that An Chengyuan was back.
"I went to take a look. Currently, the combinations on site are all similar to this kind of lounge, which is the bigger one of Crystal Boy...forget it, if it's smaller, just go smaller."
"I asked the on-site PD. We will start rehearsal in half an hour. Please prepare first and someone will notify you later... By the way, remember to call Jingyuan..."
...Chi Jingyuan felt like he was woken up before he could even sleep for two minutes after closing his eyes. He followed the team with hazy eyes to prepare for the rehearsal, until he walked out of the backstage and came to the front of the stage. The heater disappeared and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.
Afterwards, he woke up a little, and the proficiency that had formed muscle memory drove him to stand in a good position on the stage, listen to the on-site PD's command, and sway to the music.
As for rehearsal, the main thing is to rehearse the process, the actions don't need to be so specific.
After going through the process three times in a row, EXO's rehearsal today came to an end. PD Chi Jingyuan saluted and walked off the stage. As he was walking through the cold metal sound cabinet area behind the stage, suddenly there was a wave of greetings from the side.
Voice: "Senior Anihasay~"
Chi Jingyuan started up and opened his eyes. He looked to the side and found that it was actually I.O.I. He smiled and nodded along with the other members: "Oh, hello~"
After saying hello to each other, they walked past each other without saying much. Chi Jingyuan felt that there might be too many metal sound cabinets here and it was a bit cold. He quickened his pace and left the area. When he immediately walked to the backstage, he suddenly remembered
What? He asked casually and curiously: "What are they doing here? Why don't they go to the waiting room? Haven't the rehearsals been finished yet?"
"No, the rehearsal has been completed a long time ago. Well, I just asked..."
Park Chanyeol, who was standing next to him, shook his head when he heard this, pondered for a second, and then moved closer and whispered: "IOI and the others don't seem to have arranged a waiting room."
"Ah? Brother, when did you ask?"
"It was just before we went on stage to rehearse, when you fell asleep."
Chi Jingyuan was very surprised when he heard this.
Their EXO waiting room is just a little smaller, but when it comes to IOI it’s gone?
He has been around for so many years and of course he understands Xiao Jiujiu. The huge backstage of Gaoche Dome and so many empty rooms are definitely not enough space, and the organizer will never miss such important guests when arranging the waiting room.
…So there must be some dark reasons why we deliberately didn’t arrange it for them.
It feels a bit like the 2012 Gayo Daejeon, where the PD deliberately did not arrange a seat for Tara and asked them to stand in the aisle...
"It's only around five o'clock now. Don't they have to stand here for more than ten hours? The red carpet doesn't start until six o'clock in the evening, right?" Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but look back, but the sound area was dark and there were no lights, so it was difficult to see clearly.
Clearly, only a few dark figures can be seen.
"Um..." Park Chanyeol raised his eyebrows with a strange expression: "It seems like... they didn't arrange a red carpet."
"ah?"
Chi Jingyuan was a little surprised and speechless when he heard this...
He knew that the organizer of MMA and CJEM of 101 were not very good at dealing with each other, but he did not expect that they would be close to this level.
"Not at all. How could he be so stupid? I'll probably go to the nanny's car after a while... Anyway, it's definitely better than staying here."
Seeing the discussion among XO and others, team leader Jin Junmian quickly interjected: "We'd better leave this kind of thing alone...just go back quickly."
In the Peninsula music industry, these entertainment and management companies secretly compete, disrupt and use various tricks. If the company is not strong enough, its idols will always be ignored or even receive some unfair treatment.
Artists affiliated with major companies have some protection in this regard. EXO had some bad things happen to them when they first debuted, but in recent years they have basically not encountered that much.
...Today's lounge is indeed a little smaller, but Chi Jingyuan doesn't think there is any problem.
Jin Junmian was right. This kind of thing had nothing to do with idols in the first place. Chi Jingyuan sighed softly, said nothing more, and followed him into the backstage.
...But it’s true that he’s not very familiar with it. If it were Zhou Ziyu, or Ming Jingnan’s group encountered this kind of thing, he might have to find a way to help.
After returning to the backstage, the heating was everywhere, which seemed to dispel some of the chill. After walking a few steps, he came to the waiting room area. As soon as Chi Jingyuan turned the corner, he saw a few familiar people in the small rest area on the side of the corridor in front.
face.

Together, they were chatting there.
People on both sides said hello after seeing them, and the other members went straight to the waiting room without exchanging much greetings. Wu Shixun and Chi Jingyuan, who originally wanted to leave directly, stayed and exchanged greetings because they saw an acquaintance.
Red Velvet must have arrived very early. Kang Seulgi and the others were also wearing private clothes. Lin Nayeon also took off the name tags they were wearing when they met just now. Their faces were rosy and they looked like they had just finished eating.
"Jingyuan Oppa!"
"Oppa, you look so out of sorts~"
"a little sick"
After the meeting just now, Yu Dingyan and Minatozaki Sasha asked with obvious concern after seeing Chi Jingyuan, while Chi Jingyuan replied hummingly, especially when facing someone who looked like he was not an outsider.
, Minazaki Saka, who came over to look at him closely, took the initiative to take two steps back: "Don't get too close to me..."
The cold is indeed a little serious, but I can't smell anything even though I'm so close.
Except for Lin Nayeon, Chi Kyung-won and the other two people said a few words, and then looked at Jiang Seulqi, and Son Seung-wan, who suddenly stopped talking after EXO arrived and secretly observed: "When are you going to
Coming?"
Son Seungwan hesitated for a moment without saying a word, and Jiang Seulgi replied directly with a smile: "I've been here a long time ago. We've been here since three in the morning."
"Well, it's really hard... By the way, Yeri isn't feeling well yet?" Chi Jingyuan thought of something, glanced around, and instead of asking about Pei Zhuhyun, he asked about Jin Yelin.
Kim Ye-rim and Bae Joo-hyun encountered a traffic accident last month. Bae Joo-hyun was lucky enough to have nothing wrong with her and resumed her activities the next day. But Kim Ye-rim was a bit unlucky and was sent to the hospital directly.
Although SM issued an announcement, it was somewhat vague that Jin Yelin's injury was not serious, so that concerned fans can rest assured.
But as an insider, Chi Jingyuan knew that...she was actually quite serious. It was said that she had injured her spine and was in some trouble. It has been almost two months since she recovered.
After asking Pei Zhuxun to ask about it that time, Chi Jingyuan helped her find a professional professor in the transfer hospital, and later received a thank-you phone call from the girl.
Although his tone was as bright and cheerful as before, Chi Jingyuan could tell that Jin Yelin's injury had a great impact on her whole person.
She was originally the least popular member of the group and was chased and scolded by anti-fans every day. When she was on the rise, she encountered a car accident and took a three-month break. Some people believed that she was going to be kicked out of the group.
Not to mention the impact of injuries to places like the spine on future life...
"not yet……"
Sighing slightly, Jiang Seulgi felt a little depressed when she said this, but she immediately changed her mood and added: "But I heard from my manager that Yeri is recovering well and will be able to return to the team in a while."
"That's good……"
Chi Jingyuan had always had a good impression of Jin Yilin, who had a cheerful personality. He nodded and felt a little better... He also noticed that Lin Nalian seemed to have the same reaction as him, and she also breathed a sigh of relief.
appearance.
He seemed to have heard from someone that Lin Nayeon and Jin Yelin had a very good relationship.
"Okay, you guys chat, I'm leaving first..."
"Goodbye Oppa~"
After a brief exchange of greetings, Chi Jingyuan didn't stay any longer. He nodded slightly to a few people, especially Saka Minatozaki who waved sweetly, and left directly towards the waiting room.
Several people watched Chi Jingyuan leave, but Sun Shengwan's face darkened significantly. Chi Jingyuan had no communication with her for a few minutes. She felt that Chi Jingyuan left first because he had some objections to her.
It made her feel very uncomfortable that her good friend had turned into this.
"...Don't think too much~"
Wu Shixun seemed to have noticed something with his strange eyes, and explained casually in a natural tone: "He is too sleepy. He has not woken up from morning to now. He was in a daze during the rehearsal just now. He must be awake now."
Go back to the waiting room and go to bed."
Sun Shengwan looked over after hearing this, and his mood seemed to be better, while Jiang Seulqi also nodded: "Jingyuan looks particularly lethargic, and the dark circles under his eyes are very thick... I rarely see him with dark circles.
of."
"In the past few days, he has been busy with his unfinished collaboration song. He went to the company to work overtime until midnight every day... It seemed that there was another problem with the filming yesterday. He didn't come back until early in the morning and didn't sleep much at all."
Wu Shixun said very understandingly, and then rubbed his nose: "And he seemed to have caught a cold when he worked overtime the day before yesterday. It was quite serious. I don't know what he was doing in such a hurry. He had to go to the company to work overtime even if he had a cold.
Qu, I’m really out of my mind...I feel like I’m a little bit sick, don’t be infected by him.”
"Well, it's really hard..."
Minazaki Saka sighed sincerely, her sweet voice combined with her little sigh made it sound like she really cared about Chi Jingyuan, and then she seemed to have discovered something important, and blinked
He looked at Wu Shixun: "Collaboration song? Is Oppa Jingyuan going to collaborate with others on a song again?"
"!"
Hearing what she said, Lin Nalian, Yu Dingyan, and several people next to Sun Shengwan also looked over curiously.
This is the first time they have heard about this... Didn't they just collaborate on "really really"? It is still on the inner circle of the album list.
"Forehead……"
Wu Shixun felt that he seemed to have talked a bit too much, so he paused for a second, pretending to be stupid and directly brought up the topic: "It seems so, I don't know much about it. I heard him mention it by chance..."
He was good at pretending to be stupid and fooling people, and although Minazaki Sasha was not very familiar with her, she was not as familiar with Wu Shixun as Yu Dingyan, so it was not easy for her to continue asking, so she smiled sweetly and remembered it in her heart and stopped asking again.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! 94line is the main protagonist, Lin Nayuan and Minatozaki Saka are also lively and like to socialize. At this time, nothing happens, so a few people just chat here.
Up:
"...We heard that SM holds a Halloween party every year and we were envious of it. Nayeon-ni likes this kind of party and even complained that our company didn't hold one at the time."
"You can come directly to Jeongyeon next time. The company will definitely welcome you, but this year it is not very lively... In fact, I suddenly feel that if the two companies hold a Halloween party together like the previous trainee showcases, next year,
It must be interesting!"
“Wow, I’m so looking forward to it!!”
"...we even exchanged contact information with him? I remember that Sheng Wan was pretty good-looking, just a little worse than Jing Yuan."
"...Is Oppa Jingyuan also a beauty control?"
"Of course, regardless of how he puts on an act every time, he is actually the most handsome person, and he has his own set of aesthetics. When he thinks you are not good-looking, he is the most polite person in the world.
.”
"Hahaha, it's actually like this..."
…………
Chi Jingyuan couldn't hear the comments and slander behind him. After returning to the waiting room, he continued to find a place to sleep. Occasionally, he was called out a few times for something. He got a good night's sleep intermittently throughout the day. By the afternoon
When he started putting on makeup, while the dark circles under his eyes were covered by makeup, he finally felt a little energetic.
It has been raining in Seoul in the past few days, and the temperature has dropped sharply. It was still drizzling in the evening today. The organizer did not arrange for fans to come to the scene to watch, and all the reporters were wearing transparent raincoats and kept smiling. The entire red carpet
The session was a bit lackluster, and the host Jin Shenying could only be heard trying his best to stir up the atmosphere in front of the camera.
But what makes people sigh is that last year, Twice was not qualified to participate in MMA, let alone the red carpet, and was just a little transparent. But this year, in just one year, he was able to directly appear on the red carpet. So many
Of the guests and groups, they only appeared in front of EXO, who was the last one, and the replacement was really fast.
While waiting for the red carpet, there were many people around and no opportunity to interact, but Chi Jingyuan caught his eye on the outfits of his little girlfriend and others...
Although the black and white striped sequined skirt is a bit weird in style, the combination of the off-shoulder look and black stockings is still quite eye-catching, especially the thin black neck ring Najing Minami wears on her neck, which makes people unable to stand their gaze.
I voted in as soon as I could live there...
It's just that the temperature today is really low, and even Chi Jingyuan feels chilly even in his coat. It's really hard to imagine how these female celebrities and idols feel when they wear skirts and walk on the red carpet in the open air.
After all the foreplay, including red carpets, interviews, etc., was completed, it was close to the official opening time. EXO walked out of the artist aisle and was led by the venue staff to the artist booth.
This year's MMA artist seats are still arranged in a small area on the left side of the main stage, with four rows of long soft benches covered with silver sequin patterns.
EXO was placed at the front and had the entire first row to themselves.
Chi Jingyuan and the others were the last to arrive. At this time, there were many people sitting in the rows behind the artist seats. Except for the empty first row, Twice and the lonely Zheng Eundi sat in the second row, and behind them were
Blackpink, Gfriend, ZIco, and red velvet.
After seeing EXO arriving, Twice, who was the closest, and Blakcpink behind them, immediately stood up and saluted, bowing very politely... Under the gaze of the surrounding cameras and fans, they completed the agreed upon etiquette.
EXO nodded in response and prepared to sit down. Chi Jingyuan was very experienced and directly grabbed the seat on the far right. When he was about to sit down, he heard the venue manager who brought them called him: "Jingyuan xi,
Please sit here."
He turned around and saw that the steward pointed to seat C in the middle of the first row, obviously wanting him to sit in the most prominent position.
The Twice people who had not yet sat down at the back heard the movement and looked over. They happened to be face to face with them. Chi Jingyuan raised his head and glanced casually. Except for Mingjing Nan who was looking at him with shining eyes, they directly talked to Qing Qing.
Zhou Ziyu, who pursed his lips, looked at each other.
... She has purple hair today and is wearing the same thin black neck ring as Najing Minami. Her short face looks really good.
Except it's a little dark.
"Aniani, just let me sit next to you." Chi Jingyuan looked away after a brief moment of looking at each other, but had no intention of obeying the rules. He waved his hand with a smile and sat down directly at the end.
position on the right.
Jin Junmyeon is already sitting there. If you ask me to sit over again, aren't you going to make it impossible for him to get off the stage?
Moreover, he has participated in this kind of occasion many times and has already gained experience. The more remote it is, the easier it will be.
He seemed a little dissatisfied with his persistence, but he didn't say anything more, and EXO sat down... After Chi Jingyuan observed where the members next to him were sitting, he turned around and looked directly behind him.
acquaintance.
Jung Eunji!
This Busan girl left the group today and came to participate in MMA alone. At this time, she was wearing a beautiful and exquisite long skirt. She looked like a goddess and sat demurely and elegantly on the far right of the second row, with Lin Na who was closest to Twice next to her.
Lian was two positions away, right behind Chi Jingyuan.
"What a coincidence?" Chi Jingyuan half-turned around, raised his right hand and shook it with a smile.
He slept backstage all day today and didn't move around much. He didn't have a chance to communicate in the waiting room during the red carpet event. He was in good spirits after recuperating for the day, and he was quite happy to see his close relatives and friends behind him.
of.
"Snapped……"
Zheng Endi suppressed his laughter, stretched out his hand and gave Chi Jingyuan a high-five, then pulled back his hair, pursed his big mouth, and pretended to be a goddess without saying a word.
After all, he is a senior. There are so many juniors eavesdropping next to him, and he is wearing such a formal dress. Of course, he has to look down... It's understandable.
"Tsk~"
But the more he saw her like this, the more Chi Jingyuan wanted to tease her. He looked up and down and said, "I'm really not used to seeing you sitting here alone in these clothes~"
"Ah……"
As a good relative, of course I can understand the strange aura in his mouth. Zheng Enchi gritted his teeth and laughed, then countered: "Then who are you more used to seeing? It's..."
She was just about to make fun of the name 'Sun Naen' as she was accustomed to, but she suddenly thought of something and was blocked in her mouth. Then she turned her head slightly and sat in the same row with her to the left, four or five seats apart.
Mingjing Nan glanced over there, his eyes were indescribably weird.
She came to her senses, and the dead girlfriend in front of her was sitting next to her. A TOP male idol and a popular female idol were not only in love, but they were also sitting in the front and back rows of the awards ceremony... These two really knew how to play.
Even she felt very excited, and she was inexplicably excited.
Seeing Zheng Endi turning her head, Chi Jingyuan also followed her gaze and glanced there like a reflex, but he didn't see Mingjing Nan, and his sight was completely blocked by Lin Nalian's side face who was closest to him.
.
He didn't pay much attention to it. When he was about to look over, he suddenly found that Lin Nalian, who was looking ahead with a smile and didn't seem to notice the movement on their side at all, seemed to feel his gaze immediately.
have to.
Immediately afterwards, I didn't know what happened to this black man, her whole body, including her eyes and expression, seemed to freeze for a moment.
The next second, Lin Nalian turned her head unnaturally and quickly, as if she were a puppet on wind up, stumbled and twisted to the right, and deliberately changed the profile that was originally facing Chi Jingyuan.
It turned into a three-quarter profile face with a smile.
