Chapter Ten: Mia's Inner Thoughts

"I just feel that I can't keep the same passion as before, and things have been really hectic lately, taking up most of my energy..."

"Mianatha da, I shouldn't be getting angry, can you please..."

"Look, I can't match your emotional intensity right now, and that's unfair to you. The more you apologize, the guiltier I feel, and the more determined I become."

"Besides, Nana, it's a girlfriend's right to get mad at her boyfriend. Why are you apologizing It was my fault that I didn't have time then and couldn't control my emotions."

"So now that we're breaking up, do you think we'll have a chance to be together again To be honest, I don't..."

"Maybe, we're all so young right now, just debuted a year or two. Who knows what the future holds You're still so beautiful."

Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and said to the phone in the end: "Come on, Mian'ai."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Jingyuan stood by the window, letting out a soft breath, his mood somewhat complex.

Last Christmas, Sun Na-eun had a fight with him and reduced contact. They didn't communicate much for almost a month.

During Chinese New Year, Sun Na-eun seemed to regret her actions and reached out via text message wanting to make amends.

"At the time, Chi Jingyuan considered it for a while before replying with a rather flat tone."

After more than a month of cold war and a busy schedule, he had indeed lost some of his initial enthusiasm. Although he could spout sweet nothings without any passion thanks to his talent, Ji Jingyuan didn't really want to deceive anyone.

Falling in love isn't a big deal. Chi Jingyuan's view is that if you like each other, just date. When the feelings fade, it's okay to break up peacefully. Why bother lying to others

But it's probably like what he said to his brother, they didn't really have a foundation before, and they were attracted to each other based on looks. While Chi Jingyuan did initially like the other person, he didn't put too much emotion into it.

Son Na-eun probably expected this and wasn't too surprised, but from her suppressed yet regretful tone and the choked voice at the end, it could be heard that she still had feelings for Park Ji-won and didn't really want to break up.

As for Chi Jingyuan, he had broken up many times during his school years. He was experienced, having both initiated breakups and been dumped without mercy. He had encountered both scenarios.

This was just his first love in his idol career, and he felt a bit complex about it.

A cold wind blew in from the open window, making Chi Jingyuan shiver. He came to his senses, closed the window, and walked toward the practice room.

After several hours of practice, the music stopped and a break was announced. The members drank water if they needed to, and went to the restroom if necessary.

After a while, the manager Lee Seung-hwan walked into the practice room and gathered the members together, starting to explain: "The company has given EXO the schedule for this season's Idol Athletics Championship Lunar New Year Special, which will air on February 11th, with recording scheduled for February 4th."

"The original recording date for this Spring Festival special was January 28th, but there were some issues on the site that caused a delay of several days, and it was changed to February 4th. Time is very tight."

"The members participating are Suho, Chanyeol, Sehun, Yuan, Luhan and Tao, you six."

"This is the project list, take a look at it. Tell me which projects you are most comfortable with and I will sign you up."

Lee Seung Hwan wasted no time, getting straight to the point. He then handed six tables to the six people who were scheduled to participate.

Without discussing with the members who would go, the company directly decided on the candidates. The several members beside them looked at each other after hearing this, a flicker of interest in their eyes, as if they were also quite eager to participate.

This variety show is quite well-known, both explicitly and implicitly; they've all heard of it.

Wu Shixun and Park Chan-yeol's mouths twitched slightly after hearing this, but their manager didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of them. He quickly took out his watch and glanced at it.

After a while, no one spoke, as if hesitating.

"It's best to sign up for something you're most skilled at and can perform well in. This variety show will have many artist groups participating, and the audience is mostly EXO fans. If you perform very eye-catchingly, it's easy to attract fan attention and increase your popularity."

Lee Seung-hwan introduced: "Sistar gained a lot of exposure through this variety show before... so think quickly."

"And it's not just about signing up. If a lot of people sign up for a particular item, the program team will choose artists who are more popular and have more buzz. We still have some spice now."

After some consideration, besides Chi Jingyuan, the other participating members each reported some projects.

But looking at their expressions, besides Tao who seems quite confident, the others seem not very good at sports and don't look very confident either.

"Jingyuan, what about you"

Lee Seung-hwan last looked at Ji Kyeong-won and asked.

"Cheng Huan Ge, does it have to be a project that stands out"

Ji Jingyuan asked, "With his personality, he basically just edges and lazes around the entire time when participating in variety shows, rarely putting in effort. But since Li Chenghuan said it's helpful for popularity, he won't slack off anymore."

"Inside, this variety show is truly outstanding when it comes to boosting popularity."

Lee Seung-hwans nodded in agreement.

"Well... then let's go archery."

Pool Jingyuan shrugged and made his decision.

"Okay, that's all from me. I'll report this to the program team now. If you have no experience with the participating items, you can attend the training class organized by the program team tomorrow to learn."

"The shoot will start very early that day, so remember to prepare."

After dealing with this matter, Lee Seong-hwan turned to Ji Kyeong-won and continued, "Kyeong-won, the day before yesterday, JYP sent our company a project proposal. It's about a collaboration between you and a female artist from JYP. The company has reviewed it and thinks it's pretty good. So I'm here to ask for your opinion."

"I have no opinion, let the company decide."

Qi Jingyuan shrugged, indicating he didn't care.

"OK, I understand."

Li Chenghuan nodded and, after giving his instructions, left in a hurry.

After he left, the members started discussing.

"Jingyuan, you can still shoot arrows" Wu Shixun looked at him in surprise.

"Less than ten meters, I said, closing my eyes, could hit a bullseye. Do you believe me" Chi Jingyuan glanced at him sideways and curled his lips.

Speaking of specialties, Chi Jingyuan, who had received professional training in archery from a young age, was exceptionally skilled at it.

If the target is 50 meters, 70 meters, or even further away, it's hard to say. But for the idol sports archery event, the distance is less than 10 meters, it's just like playing around.

Wu Se-hwon gave Ji Kyeong-won a look with 'a glance of boasting' and didn't argue with him. Instead, he chatted enthusiastically with Park Chan-hyeok beside him. Both of them had strange smiles on their faces, as if they were expecting something.
