Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 50 "Now, immediately, right now..."

Early the next morning.

Inside SM Entertainment's practice room, several members of Girls' Generation arrived one after another. As the music started, they began their daily warm-up exercises. In the blink of an eye, the room was mostly filled with everyone except for Jessica Jung, the "perennial runner-up."

Sunny, who was stretching nearby, suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Lim Yoona, and teased, "Yoona, did you go out with Jessica the day before yesterday when you were off? Where did you go? I've noticed Jessica has been acting a little strange lately."

She originally wanted to ask Yoona to come home and build Lego, but Yoona said she had plans with Jessica Jung.

"Strange? You're probably much happier now."

Yoona's little ears twitched slightly, and the image of Jessica Jung chatting and laughing with Lin Xiuyuan that day unconsciously floated into her mind, and a small smile quietly appeared on her lips.

And who is Sunny? She is the gossip queen of the group, the number one gossipmonger, the patriarch of gossip circles.

Immediately sensing something amiss from Yoona's subtle expression, she exclaimed with delight, "What's going on? Yoona, do you know something? Tell me, tell me!"

Just as Yoona hesitated, the practice room door was suddenly kicked open from the outside and slammed against the wall with a loud bang, startling all eight girls inside.

Everyone stared in astonishment at the doorway, only to find an enraged Jessica Jung.

Jessica Jung, who had been suppressing her anger all night, stood at the door with a cold expression. Her eyes, which had not shown any sharpness for a long time, swept across the room like a blade before finally settling on Hyoyeon.

The next second, she strode into the crowd, walked up to Kim Hyoyeon, and opened her mouth with fury.

"Hey, Kim Hyoyeon, have you no shame? If you want to play, then play by yourself. What's the point of forcing your juniors to go and get themselves killed? We're all adults. How obvious is your intention in calling and urging someone to leave? Don't you understand?"

As Jessica Jung finished speaking, her icy tone instantly lowered the temperature in the room to zero.

The team leader, who was closest to the door, immediately went over and closed it. She then gave the maknae (youngest member) a look, signaling her to come and block the door, while she quickly walked towards Jessica Jung.

Kim Hyoyeon, who was bending over backwards, was momentarily stunned by the barrage of insults.

After a moment, she realized what she had said and couldn't help but retort loudly, "What? What did I do to offend you? I haven't called you at all recently. What do you mean by urging someone to leave? Do you want to see what nonsense you're spouting?"

"Didn't you understand what I said? I was talking about juniors."

Jessica Jung's gaze was sharp and unyielding. "Besides, are you sure you didn't provoke me? Weren't you the one who was trying to push me to someone Kwon Ning-il knew? Yes, I refused, so you went after Sulli, right?"

Behind her, Kim Tae-yeon, who was about to walk over, stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, her expression suddenly changed, and she subconsciously looked at Kim Hyo-yeon.

Little snowball?
She suddenly thought of the little girl who had shared a dorm room with her many years ago.

Jessica Jung continued, "No, Hyoyeon, you've been in the industry for so many years. How could you not know how disgusting those scumbags in hip-hop are? If you want to do it, do it yourself. Can you stop acting like a pimp, calling people around and even introducing Sulli to those bastards' parties?"

"Hey, Jessica Jung, you've gone too far."

Perhaps it was the description of 'pimping' that finally made Kim Hyoyeon unable to hold back her anger and call the person in front of her by their first name.

But perhaps she forgot for a moment that during her trainee days, Jessica Jung was someone that no trainee in SM Entertainment dared to mess with.

So as soon as she finished speaking, an even more powerful shout pounded into her eardrums.

"What are you yelling about, Kim Hyoyeon? Don't you know I'm your senior? You're so disrespectful! Now, right now, remember who the senior is. Who do you think you are to talk to me like that? Have I been too mild-mannered? Who gave you the courage to call me by my name?" As she spoke, a taut finger was already pointing at Kim Hyoyeon's face, burning anger almost bursting from its tip.

Following the fingertip, straight ahead were Jessica Jung's furious eyes, fixed on the figure in front of her.

Then, with a sudden flick of her finger, she pointed at Choi Soo-young, who had already taken a step forward and was about to speak, and said, "Don't try to persuade me. When I open my mouth, you all better keep quiet."

Despite being the team's bully, Choi Sooyoung paused and tightly closed her mouth again when facing Jessica Jung's full-on attack.

At this moment, Kim Hyoyeon was completely stunned by the scolding. Her mind raced, trying to recall what she had done to offend Jessica Jung. In her opinion, Sulli, whom Jessica Jung mentioned, shouldn't be the source, because the two didn't seem to be very familiar with each other.

After thinking about it, the only one left was Sulli's teammate, her sister Jung Soo-jung.

Having figured out the situation, she immediately grabbed at it like a lifeline and blurted out without thinking, "Wait a minute, I didn't call Soojung, what's wrong with you? Are you close to Sulli?"

The moment those words were spoken, the air froze, and the gazes of everyone in the room became subtle.

Kim Tae-yeon was the most obvious among them. She initially thought Jessica Jung was making a fuss over nothing, but her face immediately fell.

Jessica Jung, enraged, laughed and said, "Heh, if you dared to call Krystal Jung that, you'd be standing here talking now. I guess I've wasted the last twenty-odd years of my life."

Although his tone was light, even carrying a hint of a smile, it sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

"Hyoyeon, did you really call Sulli over?" Kim Taeyeon asked from behind.

"Heh, it's more than just calling out. Sulli already politely declined, but they kept calling her, forcing her to come out," Jessica Jung interrupted with a cold laugh, her tone sharp as a knife.

Another sentence made Kim Hyoyeon fully realize the change in the way people around her were looking at her.

So he quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "I didn't mean that. I just wanted to say that we had a get-together and everyone could have some fun together."

"You don't know what kind of gatherings those people have? I'm starting to suspect you're on drugs. You know what kind of people they are, and yet you introduced such a young girl like Shirley there. You say you didn't have any ulterior motives, no special intentions?"

Jessica Jung's voice was like several sharp thorns, piercing straight into Hyoyeon's heart.

However, Jessica Jung's tone was much calmer this time, perhaps because she had already vented her anger, or perhaps she was waiting for the next outburst.

Finally, looking at the silent Kim Hyoyeon, Jessica Jung recalled Krystal's gaze from last night and took a deep breath.

"I don't know what you're thinking, and I don't want to delve into it. But I can tell you, if you have any ideas, then get rid of them as soon as possible, or go and harm other people, and stop targeting those naive little girls around you. If you don't have any ideas, then hurry up and read a few more books, instead of having a brain that's practically useless, doing such stupid things."

"I didn't," Kim Hyoyeon tried to retort.

Jessica Jung let out another sigh, feeling rather pathetic, and turned to look at Seohyun at the door. "Seo Joo-hyun, did she introduce you to a friend?"

Xu Xian, standing at the doorway, froze, staring at everyone without daring to utter a sound, but her silence spoke volumes.

After delivering a fatal blow, Jessica Jung immediately turned and left the practice room.

He left with the words, "I'm going to find Shirley. You guys figure it out yourselves."
