Chapter Seventeen: Parting (First Update)

  On April 14, 2007, about a week before the debut of Girls' Generation, news broke that Park In-jeong had left SM Entertainment.

  "Jin Jeong-eu, are you really leaving?" Joo Heon grabbed Jin Jeong-eu's right hand, which was holding a suitcase, and looked up at her with wide eyes, showing an unwillingness to let go.

  "Xiao Xian, something has happened at Rensheng Ou's home. We need to respect her decision." Quan Youli stroked Xiao Xian's head and comforted her after passing by her side.

  "Everyone, I'm really happy to have practiced with you all these years. I really wanted to debut with you, but maybe now I won't be able to make it happen. However, you must take my share of the dream and stand on that colorful stage." Park In-jeong forced out a smile, her eyes already welling up with tears.

  "Jae-eun, we will definitely do it." Han Kkot-ja also had tears in her eyes and went forward to hug Park Jae-eun, without any other thoughts, she was truly moved.

  Something I always imagined finally happened, Park In-jeong really left, the girls stood in front of S.M's gate and bid her a reluctant farewell, the atmosphere was somewhat sad. Afterwards, they also discussed how to keep in touch more often, like going out for meals and such. Park In-jeong also joked that after everyone became famous, don't pretend not to recognize her, but it made everyone fall silent again.

  Thinking of how everyone was laughing and chatting just a few days ago, practicing together for their debut, Han Kejia's heart felt extremely uncomfortable.

  It's only a week left before the debut, is God teasing Park Rin-jeong? Although I know that in my previous life, Park Rin-jeong will eventually stand on the stage after leaving, but who knows what changes will happen to this world, thinking of this, Han Kkot-ja worries about Park Rin-jeong.

  "It's okay, we'll all still see each other in the future, no matter what happens, we'll always be good friends." Zheng Xiuyan patted Han Kejia's shoulder to comfort her.

  "I don't want your comfort, you're clearly also very distressed." Han Kejia heard this and turned her head, curling up the corner of her mouth.

  Jung Soo-yeon showed a baring-teeth expression, and Han Ke-jia involuntarily took a few steps back in fear...

  Looking at Han Kejia's current appearance, Zheng Xiuyan smiled with satisfaction, but someone else was embarrassed...

  。。。。。。

  A week later.

  The special training ended yesterday, and all the girls let out a big sigh of relief. However, just as they walked into the practice room, the staff's words made their mood tense up again in no time.

  "The special training has finally come to an end. After days of observation by the company, the final debut lineup has been confirmed." The staff member said slowly, holding a list.

  "How can this be? Aren't we all going to debut?" Choi Soo-young and Kim Tae-yeon were the first to raise their doubts.

  "There are repeated human images among you, or someone's shining points are not enough. In short, there is no characteristic and publicity value, which is the decision made by the company." The man said slowly, his cold expression making people very disgusted.

  "Is someone leaving again?" Han Kekai tightly grasped Zheng Xiuyan's hand, muttering anxiously in her heart.

  The girls were all extremely nervous, their eyes fixed intently on the list in the man's hand, with beads of cold sweat appearing on their foreheads.

  "It's been decided that the person who will debut is: Kim Tae-yeon..." As soon as the man mentioned Kim Tae-yeon's name, Tae-yeon, who had been very tense until then, suddenly let out a sigh of relief, while the others became even more tense.

  "Jung Soo-young, Lim Yoon-ah, Kwon Yu-ri, Hwang Mi-young..." Every time a man calls out a name, the person called by that name can't help but let out a sigh of relief, while those who haven't been called yet become increasingly tense. Having heard so many names without their own being mentioned, anyone would feel restless.

  Jung Soo-yeon, who was called by name, also let out a sigh of relief and patted the tightly held hand of Han Kkot-ja, indicating that she shouldn't worry.

  Han Kejia felt Zheng Xiuyan's movement and also returned a smile, but in her heart she was very nervous, always not being called by her own name, could it be that the history of her past life was really so unshakeable?

  "Choi Soo-young, Kim Hyo-won, Lee Soon-kyu, Joo Ju-hyun." The man paused for a moment after reading this far.

  Xu Canmei and Li Huanxi, who were not called out, seemed to have exhausted all their energy and slumped down, while Han Kejia's face also looked somewhat pale at this moment.

  "And Han Kejia." The man flipped over the paper and read out the last name.

  Han Kejia was thrilled to hear her own name and hugged Zheng Xiuyan tightly, Zheng Xiuyan also let out a big sigh of relief, earlier when Han Kejia's name wasn't called, her emotions had hit rock bottom.

  However, after reacting, Han Kejia thought of the eliminated Xu Canmei and Li Huanxi. Looking at the two sitting on the ground with a dejected expression, Han Kejia sighed that it was still the same as in her previous life, these two lively girls were ruthlessly eliminated in the end.

  "Ah, poor things." Several girls couldn't help but look at Xu Canmei and Li Huanxi with sympathy, not knowing what to say. If they went to comfort them now, it might be misunderstood as gloating over their misfortune.

  At this moment, several girls did not show the excitement of being selected, but instead were very silent, and Lin Yuner even shed her own tears.

  She had the best relationship with these two girls. When she first entered here as a trainee, the company also said not to invest too much emotion in other trainees, presumably so that there would be less heartache when they parted ways later on.

  In just a few days, Li Huanxi and Xu Canmei also left. Li Huanxi said that her parents had found her a job and she was going back to live a stable life. Xu Canmei was going to continue her studies. The other girls all expressed their congratulations.

  Just like when Park Jin-jeong left, everyone said they would keep in touch and stuff, until the end when Lim Yoon-ah also shed tears, while Han Kyeo-ja shook her head helplessly on the side.

  As a traverser, I clearly know that there may be future events, but I still don't have the ability to stop them. The current separation is really heart-wrenching.

  After returning to the dormitory, Han Kejia fell asleep as soon as she lay down. In about a week, she had already experienced two goodbyes. She really felt that she was very tired, very tired...
