Chapter 110 Family During the evening practice class, Kim Sejeong acted a little absent-minded and was scolded by the teacher. After finally waiting for the class to end, Jin Shizheng dragged his heavy feet and slowly moved to the door of Jin Shiming's office. She reached out her hand several times to knock on the door, but then pulled it back with hesitation. At this moment, she was very confused and didn't know what to do. Just as Jin Shizheng was standing at the door, hesitating, the office door opened without warning. "I guessed you would do this, come in!" Jin Shiming glanced at Jin Sejeong outside the door and shook his head helplessly. He knew Kim Sejeong too well. Seeing that she had not shown up after the class ended, he guessed that she was probably having trouble. Kim Sejeong felt embarrassed immediately, like a kid who had accidentally done something bad and was caught in the act. She lowered her head, said nothing, walked into Jin Shiming's office like a mute person, and sat down on the sofa silently. Jin Shiming closed the door and poured a cup of tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of Jin Shizheng.
Jin Sejeong only glanced at the teacup and then lowered her eyes again. She placed her hands stiffly on her legs and subconsciously picked at her nails, leaving red marks on her fingertips. Jin Shiming took in her unfamiliar appearance and felt a little annoyed. But he still controlled his emotions and did not take his anger out on Kim Sejeong. Caring about someone should not be an excuse to hurt her. Hurting someone in the name of love will often cause greater trauma. Jin Shiming has lost before, so he knows how to cherish better. "Wuli Sejeong, are you still angry with Oppa?" Jin Semyeong half squatted down, pulled Jin Sejeong's hands, gently smoothed them, and closed his palms. Jin Shiming's gentle movements instantly overturned Jin Shizheng's mixed feelings. Even though she was angry and throwing a tantrum, Jin Shiming still tolerated her and was reluctant to let her get hurt. Come to think of it, he seemed to have always been like this, caring more about her feelings but putting himself in the back. "Oppa, Mi-ah! I don't want this to happen either, but..." Kim Sejeong met Kim Semyeong's sincere gaze and said sourly. Early this morning, she came to the company from home and happened to see Jin Shaoqing distributing gifts to the trainees one by one. Even though she had convinced herself intellectually, at that moment, she still couldn't help but feel that the smile on Jin Shaoqing's face was particularly eye-catching! When Jin Shaoqing presented her with the exquisite gift that he had picked out especially for her, it seemed like a show-off charity, which made her feel even more uncomfortable. Kim Sejeong reminded herself again and again that Kim So-jeong did not have such bad intentions, but she could not suppress the jealousy in her heart. Isn't that kind of intense fear of loss caused by jealousy? After realizing this, Kim Sejeong felt even more tormented. She felt inexplicably that she was so ugly that she actually treated the older sister who had always taken such good care of her with such malicious and hostile thoughts. Because of this, Kim Sejeong was stuck in internal conflicts all day long, as if there were countless villains fighting madly in her mind. "I'm really scared. I'm afraid that after you have Shaoqing unnie, you won't care about me as much as before!" Kim Sejeong revealed all her deepest thoughts. Jin Shiming can trust her unconditionally, and she can also be unreserved to Jin Shiming.
"Shaoqing is a very simple and kind girl. When I am with her, I feel very relaxed and at home. This time when I came back to visit the graves, it was thanks to her being by my side that I was able to overcome the hurdle in my heart." Jin Shiming said seriously. Jin Shizheng could see clearly that when Jin Shiming talked about Jin Shaoqing, the smile on his face was so bright and happy. "At that moment, I suddenly had a heart-beating feeling: If it was this girl, I would want to be with her and look forward to planning a common future with her." Jin Shiming paused for a moment, then said firmly, "So, Shao Qing and I officially started dating!" Even though he had a premonition, Jin Shizheng still felt a sinking feeling in his heart after hearing the confirmation from Jin Shiming. "Well... then congratulations, Oppa and Soqing unnie... you will definitely be happy..." Kim Sejeong tried hard to force a smile to congratulate, but the expression on her face could not hide the loss and bitterness. "Shizheng, the time we spent together took up almost half of my life, so long that I've become accustomed to every ordinary day with you by my side!" Jin Shiming held Jin Shizheng's hands, pressed them against his forehead, and said from the bottom of his heart: "In my heart, you have long been the closest and most important family member! In the future I have planned, there is you at the age of 20, you at the age of 30, you at the age of 40... until the end of our lives!" The friendly voice, sincere words, and gentle eyes were like an iron with a little residual warmth, gently ironing Kim Sejeong's heart that had been kneaded into a ball. Only then did she realize that what she really cared about was not whether Jin Shiming was dating Jin Shaoqing, but whether her position in Jin Shiming's heart would be shaken because of this. Jin Shiming's words made her feel at ease. Even if lovers finally get married, they just become each other's family. But she and Jin Shiming have long been an inseparable family! Isn’t the deep bond of family stronger than love? "Oppa, we are a family, so we will be together forever, right?" Kim Sejeong asked eagerly. "Of course!" Jin Shiming nodded without any hesitation. After getting Jin Shiming's reply, Jin Shizheng smiled. In an instant, the clouds disappeared, the rain stopped, and the sky was clear and bright. Just as it is most beautiful. "Shizheng, if you still feel that there is a gap between you and Shaoqing and it is difficult to continue to get along with each other, out of consideration for everyone, I will pull you out of the new girl group project. At that time, you will first form a duo with me, and after you have accumulated a certain popularity, I will arrange for you to perform solo." Jin Shiming said solemnly. If the relationship within the team is not harmonious before debut, the conflicts will inevitably become more intensified after debut. Rather than waiting for the situation to become difficult to resolve and implicate other innocent members, it is better to make a decision early. As for the mixed-voice duo mentioned by Jin Shiming, he had actually thought about it a long time ago and even wrote a house-style song specifically for it. "There is no irreconcilable conflict between Shaoqing unnie and me. On the contrary, our relationship has always been good. This time, it is just because we lacked communication and misunderstood each other." Kim Sejeong did not think much about it and shook her head to refuse. This was not an empty statement. Before this, Jin Shaoqing was the closest to her among the trainees. To be fair, Kim Sejeong really likes Kim Sojeong and once wanted to match her up with Kim Semyeong. It's just that the recent events were too sudden, leaving her no room for buffering, so she couldn't think it through and got stuck in a dead end. "Oppa, don't worry, I will make peace with Soqing unnie!" Kim Sejeong said, looking at Kim Semyeong. There was one thing she didn't say, which was that she didn't want Jin Shiming to be caught in the middle. (End of this chapter)
