35: Debut song

Xu Zhiyou lifted her leg and delivered a side kick. You little rascal, what did you say in the office just now? You changed your mind as soon as we stepped out.

Park Chaeyoung rubbed her butt, not caring. Getting kicked wasn't a one-time or two-time occurrence, and it didn't hurt; Xu Zhiyou knew how to hold back.

"Get lost, don't touch me, you're annoying!"

"Captain! Did you forget something important?"

"What is it? I don't know anything about it."

"Treating us to a meal! You forgot."

Park Chaeyoung's words, if left unsaid, would have been fine, but bringing it up reminded Kim Ji-soo and Kim Jennie of how they had looked like clowns in the office earlier.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm scared, Jennie-oni." Lisa felt a chill from their stares.

"Lalisa, you're scared! You knew all along that Zoe's school was amazing, why didn't you say anything?"

"Chaeyoung suggested it, she said she wanted to surprise you all too. She even threatened me not to tell, or she'd make Zoe beat me up."

She turned to look at Park Chaeyoung, "Is that true, Chaeyoung!"

Park Chaeyoung gritted her teeth, looking at Lisa who just blurted it out, practically begging for a beating. How could she fight two against one? She wasn't Xu Zhiyou.

"Hehehe!"

"Hehehe your head! Jisoo, let's go together."

"Tsk tsk tsk! How pitiful, oh! Don't hit that spot, it's already small enough. It wouldn't be good if you two flattened it into an airport."

"Yah! Zoe, who are you calling small?" Park Chaeyoung was under a dual physical and mental attack.

Xu Zhiyou looked at Lisa, who was still grinning foolishly at the side, finding it a bit amusing. This girl still thought she could escape.

Why wasn't she running away quickly while she had the chance, still just watching the show? What a waste! As expected, the outcome was predictable.

"Tsk tsk! This one's even smaller. You two should at least avoid it, the child will starve."

"Yah! Zoe, are you sick!"

"Still have the strength to talk? I must have gone too easy, hit harder."

"Chaeyoung! See? This is what happens to a two-faced traitor. People like this need a lesson. And next time, don't play with her, it's dangerous!"

Hearing her say that, Park Chaeyoung's mouth twisted. Dangerous? Was she as dangerous as Xu Zhiyou?

"By the way, why aren't you willing to debut with us? Is it really like what they say online, that you look down on us?"

Hearing Park Chaeyoung's words, the others lost their desire to hit Lisa. They paused their movements and looked at Xu Zhiyou; they were curious too.

"Are you out of your mind? If I had such thoughts, why would I come to YG? I told you to eat more meat to grow your brain, but you insisted on eating grass. See? Your IQ has been absorbed by the grass."

"Yah! Speak properly, this is a serious question."

"I'm afraid of dragging you down. My temper is prone to exploding, and if I beat someone up, it wouldn't be good for you."

Saying she would suppress herself for them was meaningless and not conducive to unity. She was just here to have fun, so whatever happened, happened.

The four of them didn't see any problem with Xu Zhiyou's words. After all, she did love to fight, and an idol fighting would indeed be earth-shattering, but they could hold her back.

"Tsk! Why are you worrying about that? It's fine, we don't mind you."

"But I mind that your combat power is trash and you're dragging me down."

"Yah!"

"Who are you talking to? Try 'yah' again!"

Seeing Xu Zhiyou lift her leg, Park Chaeyoung instantly chickened out and ran behind her eldest sister for protection.

Such a coward, Xu Zhiyou couldn't even be bothered to say anything to her. "Tsk! Let's go! Let's have a big meal to celebrate our debut."

While waiting for the food at the table, Kim Ji-soo and Kim Jennie looked up Xu Zhiyou's school. And after looking it up, they both fell silent again.

"Zoe! I don't understand, with your abilities, why are you here?"

"It's close to my home; I can fly back in two to three hours. Also, I have an unfulfilled wish to sing and dance, and I want to achieve it."

Her words were very sincere, not playful at all. Ten years, she couldn't debut until she died. Any person would find it hard to let go.

Although the four of them felt that it was somewhat like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, it was the first time they had seen her serious side, and they inexplicably believed her.

"Then let's wish that we walk the flower path together!" Kim Ji-soo said, raising her drink.

...

After they were notified of their debut, they moved to a new practice room and also moved dorms, finally getting independent bathrooms.

The first thing they did after moving was to slack off for a few days, then they started producing their debut song.

The BLACKPINK debut song needed to showcase the rebellious and uninhibited characteristics of a girl group, with a touch of girl crush style. After two days of racking her brain, she finally came up with "Whistle."

The mysterious whistle sound and the alluring melody were exactly what she wanted, and it suited them. But having only "Whistle" wasn't enough.

Isn't girl crush about being wild? With rebellion and uninhibitedness covered, wildness couldn't be missing. So, she began her seclusion again.

"Jisoo, she's been locked up for four days now. Should we drag her out? Doesn't songwriting require inspiration? What's the deal with her always locking herself up like this?"

Every time Kim Jennie knocked on the door, Xu Zhiyou would shoo her away. She only came out to eat; the rest of the time, she kept herself locked in.

When Xu Zhiyou was thinking, she feared being disturbed the most. The song fragments in her mind all needed to be constructed by herself.

If she wasn't careful and missed something, she'd have to think for a long time again. So, she simply found an enclosed space and locked herself in, which made her more efficient.

"She said not to disturb her, what can we do? Let's wait another day and see. If not, we'll break the door down."

"It seems that's the only way!"

Inside the room, Xu Zhiyou was thinking about wild and powerful, yet also showcasing the girlish charm of a girl group, and forming a stark contrast with "Whistle."

"The meaning of BLACKPINK, what you see is not all, not all..."

"Boombayah" was quite wild, and adding some playful lyrics to it. And so, on the fifth day, she finally finished polishing the two songs.

"Damn it, this broken golden finger. No wonder it wanted to expand my brain capacity; it's giving me a headache. I'd rather write my own stuff."

Just as she thought about writing her own things, a fragment popped out. Every time she encountered it, it was a state of both happiness and discomfort.

The happiness was that she didn't need to polish it herself, the discomfort was that it always disrupted her thoughts.

She walked out with the papers and met the four people waiting at the door. "What are you doing here?"

"You've been locked up for five days. If you can't write it, then don't write it for now! If it really doesn't work, using the company's songs is fine too."

"I wrote it!"

"It's okay... Huh? Wait, what did you say? Finished writing?"

Park Chaeyoung knew the difficulty of creation. She always liked to ponder things, but from childhood to now, she had never written even one song.

"Here, two songs. One in a wild style, fitting our group name, and one rebellious with a touch of uninhibitedness. Double title tracks."

"Uh!!!"

She reached out, took them, and started reading. "Whistle" had a very unique style; this kind of song was a first.

She still had that much appreciation, "So you wrote two songs in five days, and they're polished?"

"Otherwise? Do you think I was sleeping in my room?"

"I mean, how is your brain made? I've been exposed to it since childhood, but I still haven't completed a single song."

"So that means you're stupid! Haha~"

"Yah! I finally complimented you, and this is how you treat me, huh?"

After the three of them finished reading, they all loved the two songs.

"Amazing! Teach me how to compose when you have time, I want to learn too."

Kim Jennie now admired her greatly. She was too incredible, two songs, lyrics and music all done in five days. She couldn't help but be impressed.
