It was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Jessica was alone in her dormitory, looking restless.

She is still in a daze, undoubtedly because of the afternoon when she met Jin Jingcheng.

She didn't know how Kim Jingcheng, the "uncle" she met in New York last year, suddenly appeared in South Korea, how she met her in Seoul, and on the vast streets.

...

"Will we see each other again?"

"We will definitely see you again, well, maybe I will have the chance to enjoy your first drink in your life in the future."

...

This was the conversation between Jessica and Kim Jong-sung when they parted last year, and now it keeps beating in her mind.

What was beating together was also the situation when we met today.

...

"New York...Manhattan...Fairy Bar...Are you really that uncle?"

Jin Jingcheng smiled slightly, reached out and took out a tissue from his pocket. While wiping the sweat beads that penetrated from her forehead, he smiled and said, "Little guy, I said we will definitely see each other again in the future!"

...

Last year, this year, and today, we met twice, and the two scenes were unconsciously superimposed in Jessica's mind, making her feel that Kim Jingcheng seemed a little mysterious.

Jessica carefully took out a card that seemed to shine from her bag, which was the stored value card from the barbecue shop.

While sitting cross-legged on the bed, Jessica was staring at the stored value card in her hand in a hazy light, as if the stored value card was no longer a card, but a face that had changed into Jin Jingcheng...

Not too handsome, but definitely not bad, he is quite handsome, with a calm temperament that is rare in ordinary young people. Especially when he smiles, he seems to have a natural confidence and charm...

"What kind of Oppa is this mysterious uncle?"

"What kind of uncle is this mysterious Oppa?"

Jessica muttered to herself.

After thinking about something, she couldn't help but pick up her cell phone and dialed a Ocean phone number, targeting her sister Krystal, who was far away in San Francisco, California, USA.

"Hey, sister? Why did you suddenly think of calling me? I thought you forgot me."

As soon as the phone was connected, Krystal's slightly complaining and lazy voice came from the other end.

If it were usual, Jessica would probably tease Krystal a few words at this time, but tonight she lost her wits and said directly: "I met him today."

Krystal became puzzled: "Who did you meet?"

Jessica said: "Kim turned out to be Oppa."

Krystal became more and more confused: "Who is Kim becoming Oppa?"

Jessica pouted: "It's the uncle who helped us in Manhattan, New York last year."

"Ah!" Krystal's voice, which seemed a little lazy, suddenly became excited and eager, "Are you talking about the uncle who fought for us?"

Jessica said funnyly: "What have you helped us fight? It's just helping us. Also, he is not old, so don't call him uncle Oppa in the future."

Krystal paused and asked in doubt: "Sister, you won't be mistaken, right? That uncle... Oppa, we met in Manhattan, New York last year. You are in Seoul now, how could you meet him?"

Jessica said: "I don't know either, I just met him anyway."

Krystal became more and more confused, and became more and more curious and eager. When she thought, although her sister was often confused, she would not recognize the wrong person, right? Besides, it was the uncle who left a deep impression on the two sisters last year.

"Sister, tell me, what's going on?" Krystal couldn't wait to ask.

Jessica immediately briefly told the story of meeting Kim Jingcheng today, including the "ghost thoughts" of Yoona, Sooyoung, Yuri, and the fact that Kim Jingcheng suddenly gave her a large deposit card...

"What? He gave you a 10 million won reserve value card?" Krystal couldn't help but scream, and at the same time converted it directly on the phone, "Oh my God, 10 million won, how much is the US dollar? More than 8,000 dollars?"

After the conversion was clear, Krystal questioned again: "Sister, you won't be really confused, right? How could he give you so much money at once? Didn't you meet him for the second time?"

Jessica said: "I don't know either. I just gave it to you anyway. There is also, it's not just a money paid, it's just a stored value card from the barbecue restaurant. How could I ask for his money directly? It's true."

Krystal disagreed: "Don't the money in the stored value card be equivalent to money?"

After thinking about something, Krystal hurriedly reminded: "Sister, you have to wait for me. I will go to Korea to be a trainee in more than a year. You can save some money in your card. When I come, I can eat enough barbecue."

He asked with some concern: "Sister, that barbecue restaurant will not go bankrupt, right? If it goes bankrupt, what should I do if the stored value card is closed? Can I exchange the money?"

Jessica said with a lot of laughter and cry: "The barbecue restaurant has a good grade and there are many chain stores, so how could it be so easy to go bankrupt?"

Krystal then felt relieved, but then asked: "By the way, sister, do you want that Oppa phone? He helped us last year, and we forgot to ask him if he wanted the phone."

"Ah!" Jessica suddenly shouted, "It's over, I forgot."

"Oh, sister, you're so stupid!" Krystal said dissatisfiedly, "If I want it, wouldn't I be able to talk to him on the phone now?"

Jessica retorted: "Oh, little guy, who do you think is stupid?"

"Okay, my sister will meet him again next time, so don't forget to leave his phone number."

After Krystal gave instructing him, he hung up the phone.

"Is there any next encounter?"

Jessica muttered silently while holding her cell phone.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jessica got up and turned off the lights in the dormitory, and then lay quietly on the bed alone.

After finally letting Jin Jingcheng go away from his mind for a while, Jessica couldn't help but think about herself and her sister.

"According to the agreement with S.M Entertainment, my sister will come to be a trainee in 2006. Oh, I really hope she won't come. The situation here is so bad. It's too tiring and hard to be a trainee in S.M. However, becoming a star is my dream and her dream. For the sake of her dream, how can you not suffer or suffer?"

Jessica's expression became confused. She thought that she had been working as a trainee from the United States to Seoul S.M Entertainment Company in 2000. Now she has been working hard for several years in a blink of an eye, and her chances of debut still seem very slim.

Not only that, the strong new trainees who keep popping up around her are still putting new pressure on her.

A new trainee named Kim Taeyeon from S.M Entertainment was invited by her mentor The-One to sing the duet song "You-Bring-Me-Joy" of her second album. This song was released today (August 23, 2004).

Kim Taeyeon, whose English name is Taeyeon, was born on March 9, 1989 in Jeonju City, North Jeolla Province, South Korea.

On July 17, 2004, Kim Taeyeon originally agreed with her friends to participate in the selection of S.M Entertainment Co., Ltd. in South Korea. Later, she was the only one who appeared at the agreed location and finally won the first place in the 8th S.M Youth Selection Competition (9000:1), entered S.M Entertainment Company and began her career as a trainee and became a singer The-One.

When Jessica thought of Kim Taeyeon, she became more and more confused. There were so many trainees in S.M Entertainment, but her debut opportunities were limited. The more excellent trainees there were, the less likely she had to debut, especially for a powerful opponent like Kim Taeyeon who can compete with her in singing skills.

"When will I make my debut?"

Jessica lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time...
