Although it is evening, the neon lights are already extremely bright.
Lights up in every corner of the street.
The program team arranged an evening flight for the trainees, so they had enough time to enjoy a dinner at Neon before returning.
The eight neon trainees agreed that they would treat this dinner.
And because they arrived one day earlier than the Korean trainees, they even gave the prepared gifts to the Korean trainees before leaving the handshake venue.
In the lounge, Pei Yourong, like her companions, happily opened the box given to her by Miyawaki Sakura.
"So small? What could it be, Ernie?"
"You'll know when you take it apart."
"Hey, why is it a ring?"
"Don't you like Kuromi?"
"But this..."
"You don't like it?"
"Gui, I like it."
…
After walking out of the venue, Pei Yourong boarded the vehicle prepared by the program team.
After get off work, the flow of people on the road is particularly dense. Tokyo is a fast-paced city, so most of the people coming and going are in a hurry. As soon as the light turns green, they hurriedly move their legs.
The neon trainees made a reservation at a restaurant.
Not all roads in this famous city are particularly wide, and the closer you get to your destination, the narrower they become.
The restaurant is hidden in an alley. There are too many vehicles from the program crew, so it is impossible to drive in.
Pei Yourong got out of the car and walked to the alleyway with the trainees.
In the alley, various signboards shine brightly in the gray sky. The shop names are written in various fonts on the signboards, which are numerous and beautiful.
Pei Yourong, who is half a neon person, has never been here before, but she can easily tell that this is a food street.
Just as she was thinking about it, the long line of trainees stopped.
Pei Yourong looked up and saw Zhu Li Takahashi negotiating with the proprietress at the door of the store. Not long after, everyone finally entered the restaurant.
The restaurant was not big, and Pei Yourong could even see the open reception area at a glance, but there were twenty or thirty seats, enough for all the trainees to dine.
"What do you want to eat when you look at the menu?"
"Then we're welcome~"
"Please order it!"
Amid laughter, Pei Yourong sat on the chair and opened the menu. Miyawaki Sakura told her when she came that this was a family restaurant, so she thought there wouldn't be many dishes.
But after opening the menu, she realized that she had been wrong.
Not only do they have classic dishes from mainstream restaurants, but they also have some home-cooked specialties.
Pei Yourong saw that Zhang Yuanying next to her was already having trouble, but she didn't think about it for too long. After thinking about it for a while, she chose to order barbecued pork and udon.
If you have to choose between ramen and udon, Pei Yourong is definitely an udon fan.
After ordering, Pei Yourong saw Miyawaki Sakura also finishing his order.
"What did Ernie order?"
"Sandwiches, raw beef and raw octopus."
Pei Yourong couldn't help but tremble after hearing this.
"What's that expression on your face?"
"I hate octopuses."
"But they're delicious."
"That's annoying too."
Miyawaki Sakura looked at Pei Yourong. The fearful look of the other person shrinking his neck looked very funny. She was about to laugh, but suddenly stopped.
"Where's the ring I gave you?"
"It's in the bag."
"Why don't you wear it? Didn't you say you like it?"
"The cartoon ring is a bit big and uncomfortable to wear."
After Pei Yourong finished speaking, she had a hunch that this sentence would make Miyawaki Sakura unhappy, and sure enough, it didn't take long for her to find that Ernie's eyebrows were tending to fit together in front of her.
But after knowing him for a long time, she also figured out some of Miyawaki Sakura's temperament.
"But, I will wear it when I go on stage." Pei Yourong added in a low voice, "If you use a hand microphone, the ring will be very conspicuous."
Everyone enjoyed this dinner very happily.
As we approach the final stage, nothing can be more relaxing than a cozy dinner like this.
But planes always have to take off, and free time is very luxurious for today's trainees.
On the second morning after returning to Seoul, twenty trainees were summoned again.
The practice of the song was therefore terminated. Just when everyone was confused about this, the staff also issued a notice for everyone to go to the recording studio.
With confusion, the trainees went to the recording studio.
The doubts were answered after they arrived at the recording studio.
"Actually, 'Charmed?' and 'Take Care of Me in the Future' are not your last songs."
"Finally, we have one more song for everyone to sing."
"This is also the purpose of bringing everyone here today."
While answering questions for the trainees, a staff member came forward and handed each trainee the lyric book they had prepared.
Pei Yourong also got the lyrics. When she was about to read them, the door of the recording studio was pushed open.
What came in was the composition team that produced GFRIEND's "Time Passes".
Soon the girls' greetings rang out in the practice room.
After a brief greeting, we got down to business.
"This song is about the days you have experienced together, including all the emotions you felt while embracing your dreams. I hope everyone can sing it with warmth."
The producer explained patiently and everyone was listening carefully.
But Miyawaki Sakura's eyes looked at the paper in her hand uncontrollably.
"Wandering alone in the deep forest"
"Stop and look back."
"This road that always goes further and further is scary."
"By chance, that warm sunshine"
"It's you who illuminate me in an instant."
These lyrics were like lines of mysterious spells. Otherwise, how could Miyawaki Sakura be immersed in them for so long that when she looked up again to find Pei Yourong, he had already walked into the recording room.
Pei Yourong, who put on his headphones, now felt a little at peace in his heart.
She lowered her head and looked at the paper in her hand.
Pei Yourong likes the name "When Dreaming".
Love the lyrics above too.
"So I have to sing more carefully and sing better." She thought.
"When Holding a Dream" is indeed well written, and Pei Yourong's singing is also attentive enough.
Therefore, at the end of the program, these girls who became more sensitive could not help crying.
Later, some trainees jokingly described the recording as being done with everyone's tears.
When we returned, everyone was a little sad and didn't say much.
The distance from the recording studio to the dormitory is not that long, especially if you take a car.
But this short time was enough for Pei Yourong to recall the journey of the past few months.
Finally arriving at the door of the dormitory, Pei Yourong put one hand on the door panel of the dormitory. The cold touch made her sober up.
"It's so far." She suddenly said before opening the door.
"It's far there. It won't be there in an instant."
Zhang Yuanying's big eyes are like a transparent glass sugar bowl. If you look at it from the outside, you can see a lot of candies called innocence inside.
"Eh?" Pei Yourong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and opened the door.
"Yes, we'll be there in a minute." She added.
