Chapter 142 If you are confused, stay near the center
"Forget it, actually at that time I didn't have any special thoughts about Korea or kpop."
momo nodded, "I just danced the dance of the senior Korean artists from time to time, so Onii-chan later told me that no matter where you go, in this country, all the people will eventually gather in Tokyo."
When I told him that I didn't know whether I should go to Korea to be a trainee, Onii-chan just said a few words to me."
"What words?"
"If you are confused, then stay close to the center. The specific concept of kpop in my heart, and my subsequent persistence, were only really felt after I set foot on the land of Seoul."
"I see, now that I think about it, Onii-chan's thoughts have always been so clear and magical."
"Of course... He is really a good person who can point out the direction to Momo-chan at such a moment."
Sana waved her little fist and put it on her cheek, blinking her eyes slightly, as if she was liking him more and more.
There is still a biting wind blowing outside the window, and even if the window is closed, you can still hear the sound of the wind whistling by.
In just a short while, the servants delivered kimonos that fit the sizes of sana and momo. It seemed that as soon as they entered the Kagaya, someone had already judged sana's data with their eyes from a distance.
"Hey, if you were like me and had to make a choice, what would you do?"
Momo picked up the clothes that were clinging to her body and took them off. She put aside the plastic bag from the convenience store and sat on the ground. She straightened the strands in front of her hair.
"Me? I should be like you Momo-chan, right?" Sana put on the kimono here.
"At least you made a choice and you danced so well."
The girl sat cross-legged gently, her eyes inadvertently looking at the shape of Momo's toes. She didn't know when something strange appeared on the soles of her feet.
Ah~~That's a foot mask. I often saw her using it like this when I was in Korea.
"That's because Onei-chan (Ounei-san is the elder sister, which is a common name, and Onei-chan is a term of endearment, and the two names flaunt the degree of affection for each other) are also dancing, and I have been following it since I was very young.
She is just learning."
momo stretched out her feet and felt the coolness brought by the foot mask to her soles. "Actually, I am a person who has no idea what I want to do or where I want to go."
The two of them sat side by side in the room. In front of the table were many snacks that girls of this age like to eat.
While listening to the sound of the wind blowing against the windows and grass outside, sana also asked momo for a foot mask.
The existence of this thing provides a corresponding answer to the curiosity that Momo often danced without having a trace of wrinkles and calluses on her feet.
In other words, sana is deeply envious of momo's beautiful feet.
"That is to say, when you signed up for jyp's audition at that time, it was also..."
"Of course, this is just one of them, so I was very anxious at that time."
"Why?"
“Because I don’t know what I want, I can’t make up my mind to choose.
Also, after seeing Onii-chan preparing for college exams and future bar exams, I made my choice..."
"That's it."
Sana finally understood. She had the same feeling about the psychological phenomenon of being frightened because she had no choice, because she had gone through the same period.
Momo doesn't know that Takiichi is currently in such a period.
The reason why I have no choice is mainly because I don’t know what I want to do and what kind of person I want to be.
What is really important to you? What is the thing you don’t want to give up? What is the thing you want to get no matter what?
It took momo many years to truly understand it, and after understanding these things, it found the way forward.
A long time ago, I deeply felt that although everyone else had made their choice readily, I couldn't decide.
Later I realized that it was because I was too worried that something important would be taken away and would never come back to me.
That situation made Momo restless, and now Sana can also feel this arrogance.
Two years ago, Momo chose to become a trainee at JYP just to escape this fear.
Those "people who make decisions very readily" around her may also be like this. They think about it carefully and don't know what they really want.
This phenomenon is not surprising. One day when I was in a period of confusion, I suddenly had such thoughts, maybe I just didn’t want to admit it.
Maybe it was just influenced by the atmosphere or people around me.
"Onii-chan told me that the atmosphere around us, especially the so-called society, has been telling us, 'People must have dreams.'
Whether on TV, in newspapers, on the Internet, or in books, they have been educating people that ‘realizing dreams is a very beautiful thing’.”
Therefore, Takiichi, who once had a goal, has unconditionally won the respect of many people because he worked hard to move forward around the goal.
"Is this why momo-chan dances?"
Time passed like water, and Sana and Momo started chatting all over the place. Of course, the content was limited to their past.
The sky outside the window is pitch black, as if you are in the universe. The clean glass window is like a mirror, reflecting the room under the bright light.
"It should be~~ Dancing, in the final analysis, was just the only thing around me. In other words, I didn't know anything at the time, so I just wanted to imitate.
Later I thought it might be able to change myself, so I asked my sister to really teach me how to dance from scratch.”
Momo even has the illusion that this old house is the whole world, and the most important people in life who cannot be lost are gathered here.
"It's really awesome."
Hearing sana praising herself like this, Momo was a little distracted and almost forgot what to say next.
"At the beginning, the idea of 'it really doesn't work' deeply occupied my mind. For a long time, I couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the music.
I even forget my movements, after all, everything requires talent, and I can only work hard, thanks to Onii-chan for encouraging me every day."
"Fortunately, momo-chan, you didn't give up and persisted."
Sana's pupils were swaying with water. If there were people like that in her life who encouraged her, it would be a source of motivation to continue, right?
"I thought about giving up, but I persisted. I am not a smart person. Ever since I was pushed by a classmate and hit my head against the wall in elementary school, the teacher took me to the infirmary. Oni-chan was still there when school was over.
Found me in the classroom."
After that incident, momo felt that her mind was no longer what it used to be.
You won't think about all kinds of complicated things like others, which may be a blessing, because it will allow you to focus on something until the end.
"Perseverance is right."
"Why?"
Momo looked at Sana as if she had just woken up, puffing her mouth and cheering herself up.
"It's like traveling. If the destination is not clear enough, it doesn't mean that we can't go anywhere. We can think about it while walking. Maybe we decided on the destination one second and suddenly changed it the next second.
