Chapter 42

"Jungwoo, raise your arm a bit higher... pay attention to the rhythm... your right leg needs to be coordinated..." At this moment, in the practice room, Moon Jungwoo was pursing his lips, looking serious as he faced the mirror, diligently practicing a short sequence of dance steps he had just learned.

He had already made up his mind; if he was going to learn, he would learn the hardest. B-boy. This style of dance required a high level of joint flexibility, and mastering it would make learning other styles easier in the future.

At this moment, this small practice room was exclusively for Moon Jungwoo. Actually, it wasn't exclusively for him, but for male trainees in general.

It just so happened that he was the only male trainee at the moment, so it was given to him. However, Lee Sun-kyu was also there, doing basic exercises and practicing with headphones on. Not all trainees practiced dancing together.

The levels were different, the dance styles varied, and the songs they practiced might not be the same. The sound system could only play one CD at a time, and mixing two rhythms would make it impossible to practice individually. Therefore, they often had to take turns, with specific time slots allocated to different trainees. Currently, there weren't many SW trainees.

The large practice room was sufficient for the dozen or so female trainees. When male trainees arrived, they would be accommodated. However, Kang Jun-young had a vague idea that since the CEO had personally taken him as a student, even if more male trainees came in the future, the focus would likely still be on this young man. As Lee Sun-kyu had mentioned, Moon Jungwoo might not fully understand, but for Lee Soo-young to take him as a student was no small matter.

Speaking of Lee Soo-young, few people outside the industry knew about him. Even some recently debuted idols might not be aware. However, older artists were familiar with him. He was once a top star, a senior figure in the music industry. The respect for Lee Soo-man wasn't just because he was the boss of S.M.

Especially for entertainment companies like YG or JYP, there was always competition, but at least on the surface, they would all respectfully call him a senior. Even JYP's CEO, Park Jin-young, had once auditioned in front of Lee Soo-man. This seniority was significant in Korea, where such things were highly valued. Lee Soo-young was once an even better lead vocalist than his younger brother, Lee Soo-man. As a teacher, how could he be anything less?

Of course, their achievements couldn't be compared. The scale and status of S.M. and SW were vastly different. This was also why Lee Soo-young rarely mentioned Lee Soo-man. It wasn't out of avoidance, but it wasn't something to be proud of. Watching Moon Jungwoo gradually find his rhythm and dance more fluidly under his guidance, Kang Jun-young nodded in satisfaction, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall.

He glanced at Lee Sun-kyu, and Kang Jun-young paused, feeling a bit helpless. "Sun-kyu."

Lee Sun-kyu didn't hear him, completely immersed in the music from her headphones, moving vigorously. The practice room only had a mirror on one side, and Lee Sun-kyu, facing away, didn't see him.

Kang Jun-young patted her shoulder, and Lee Sun-kyu jumped back, pulling off her headphones in annoyance. "Oppa! You scared me."

Kang Jun-young chuckled. "You scared me too. Practicing so openly in the company, aren't you afraid the CEO will break you up?"

"Mo ya?!" Lee Sun-kyu raised her hand in anger, ready to hit him. The two had known each other since childhood, and Kang Jun-young had even carried her when she was five. They were used to teasing each other.

Kang Jun-young dodged with a laugh, shaking his head. "You've been practicing for five years longer than Jungwoo. He's just starting, and you're already preparing to debut. Why are you practicing with him? Your progress is different."

Lee Sun-kyu pouted, glancing at the still-sweating Moon Jungwoo. "I'm not taking advantage of him. I just want to see how long it takes for him to catch up to me."

Kang Jun-young was at a loss. "What are you comparing? Boys and girls can't be compared in this way."

He looked at the focused Moon Jungwoo and called Lee Sun-kyu over with a mysterious smile. "Sun-kyu, it seems there are some things oppa needs to teach you."

Lee Sun-kyu was taken aback, looking puzzled. "What things?"

Kang Jun-young leaned against the wall, smiling and shaking his head. "Men, no matter how old they are, like all kinds of girls, but there's one thing they all want in a girl."

Lee Sun-kyu widened her eyes, smiling awkwardly. "Mo ya?! Why are you telling me this?"

Kang Jun-young frowned at her. "Look at you, I'm doing this for your own good."

Putting his arm around her shoulder, Kang Jun-young pointed at Moon Jungwoo. "He's not just good-looking, he's also smart and has a good family background, even better than the CEO. Most importantly, he's serious, hardworking, and talented. He's smart and has a strong understanding. Do you think you can win him over by just challenging him?"

Lee Sun-kyu was taken aback, pushing Kang Jun-young away in anger. "Pursue him?! What a joke?!"

Kang Jun-young's expression turned serious. "Sun-kyu, many things are missed if you don't seize the opportunity. You're young, be careful not to regret it later."

Lee Sun-kyu felt embarrassed by Kang Jun-young's playful gaze, biting her lip for a moment before suddenly shouting in anger. "Oppa, you remember this. Even if I never find a husband, I will never pursue that brat..."

Suddenly, the music stopped, and only Lee Sun-kyu's voice echoed in the room. Moon Jungwoo smiled at her, of course, through the mirror.

Despite being drenched in sweat and breathing heavily, his calm expression and words made Lee Sun-kyu, who was subconsciously feeling guilty, look up and meet his gaze. "You said it, remember it well. Don't forget and come chasing me later... ugly girl."

"You..." Lee Sun-kyu bit her lip, squinting her eyes and pointing at him.

Moon Jungwoo had already picked up a towel, bowed to Kang Jun-young, and walked out.

Lee Sun-kyu stomped her foot in anger, shouting at Moon Jungwoo's back. "Don't worry, even in the next life, the life after that, I won't give you a second glance!! Ah!!!"

After a loud outburst to vent her frustration, she panted for a while, then sat on the floor, kicking her legs in a fit of anger.

After a moment, she suddenly realized that practicing dance had somehow turned into this situation. She glared at Kang Jun-young, who was fiddling with the computer, and stood up to walk over.

"How could it be so coincidental? The music just happened to stop at that moment..."

"Ah!!" A loud shout, unsurprisingly, startled Kang Jun-young. He turned to see Lee Sun-kyu, looking like a little lion, ready to bite him.

Kang Jun-young, nearly thirty, scratched his head and laughed awkwardly. "This can't be blamed on me. You didn't let me finish before shouting, leaving no room for yourself."

Lee Sun-kyu narrowed her eyes, playing with her fingernails. "Then finish now. I can't let you have any regrets. After that... I'll have a talk with Dad. Lately, you've been late and leaving early, and you're talking about love. Maybe you're dating someone from Sugar?"

Kang Jun-young's face changed, and he laughed dryly. "Sun-kyu, don't say such things. I and Hye-sung... Hye-sung xi just had a casual meal, and it wasn't just the two of us."

Lee Sun-kyu pouted, looking untrusting. Kang Jun-young cleared his throat and leaned in. "I just want to tell you that boys like all kinds of girls, but they all want one thing: gentleness. No boy dislikes this. You always have a princess attitude, even though you're mature and responsible. But always being confrontational with Jungwoo, how can that work? You should know Jungwoo better than me. At least from what I see, he might not be soft, but he definitely doesn't like being pushed."

Lee Sun-kyu, who had been teasing him, now looked strange, silent, and deep in thought.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Lee Sun-kyu jumped, as if she had done something wrong. Moon Jungwoo, drying his wet hair, walked in, put the towel away, and looked at the two curiously. "Brother, haven't you finished? I've already washed my hair, let's keep practicing."

Lee Sun-kyu glared at him. "Hey, are you trying to scare me to death?!"

Kang Jun-young covered his mouth and coughed. Lee Sun-kyu paused, pursed her lips, glared at Moon Jungwoo, and suddenly giggled, winking at him before running off. Kang Jun-young and Moon Jungwoo were left staring at each other, confused and puzzled.

What... just happened?
