Afternoon of drinking coffee

  No matter what, without variety shows and music show activities, BoA's English lessons are still ongoing. With her Korean-Japanese accent, Kwon Boa wants to turn things around within two weeks, which is a very difficult task. Although Kwon Boa's fighting spirit is strong enough for Yoon Hyun to admire, before the final results come out, Yoon Hyun will not go to the company to do any work.

  Then Yin Xian returned to his daily routine of staying at home in front of the computer, and going to the film set to shoot when it was time.

  Han Hyo-joo lived a similar life after completing two advertisement shoots.

  Compared to Yoon Hyun, Han Hyo-joo's attitude towards life is obviously more positive. She goes to the gym every day to exercise and also attends school classes, making her life much richer than Yoon Hyun who stays at home.

  However, Yoon Hyun also seems very leisurely, but in fact, he is still busier than Han Hyo-joo.

  Learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't move forward, you'll fall behind. Yin Xian, apart from working on Quan Baoer's album arrangement every day, also continues to think and learn about his own professional field. So Yin Xian divides his time into three parts when using the computer: arranging music, browsing the internet, chatting with fans, and writing papers.

  Taking advantage of this rare leisurely weekend after a busy period, Yin Xian also sent his latest paper to the journal and the school's thesis management department.

  Although he had not yet received a response, Yin Xian still had enough confidence that with this article, which he had polished in his spare time over the course of more than a year, he should be able to switch to an associate professor position at school without any problem.

  After being "taught a lesson" at the celebratory dinner following Girls' Generation's concert, Yoon Hyun began to organize his work content and very pretentiously positioned performing and singing as his career. And his major in Seoul University, which was supposed to be his main job, was instead forcibly made into a "hobby"...

  In preparing the composition for Gwangbae, Yun Hyun used his laptop to complete all DEMO recordings at home within a week. The speed was so fast that even Yun Hyun himself couldn't believe it.

  At this time, Yin Xian finally understood that his previous boring days spent sitting in a coffee shop for an afternoon, doodling in his sketchbook, were not meaningless after all.

  Is this what they call "accumulating strength and then making a sudden move"?

  But anyway, Yoon Hyun's fragments that occasionally flashed through his mind turned into songs one after another, and his mood also improved.

  "Honey." Now, regardless of whether there were cameras around or not, Han Hyo-joo had already gotten used to calling Yoon Hyun like that. "Don't you have any special schedule for tomorrow?"

  "No. Aren't you not filming tomorrow? You're going home?" Yun Xian was stunned for a moment.

  "Ah...yes." Han Hyo-joo nodded.

  "Let's go. I'll finish eating in a bit. I'll send you back."

  "Alright."

  After having a late-night snack, Yoon Hyun drove Han Hye-joo back to her own home and then drove himself back to the "We Got Married" house.

  Now, compared with the house in Jiangnan, Yoon Hyun seemed to like this place more.

  Because she was alone at home, Yoon Hyun became even freer. In the bedroom, brushing her teeth while dancing in front of the camera...

  However, the next morning, Yoon Hyun still got up on time, ran, had breakfast... and then drove to Gangnam, came to his usual coffee shop, ordered a clear coffee, and started sitting in a daze.

  In his view, this is the best model for a holiday.

  Moreover, I recently used up a lot of songs that I had accumulated during my previous idle times, it's time to replenish them.

  "Excuse me? May I sit here?" Yoon Hyun-jung was staring blankly out the window when he suddenly heard someone greet him in English.

  Yin Xian turned around and saw a girl wearing large sunglasses, with a hat covering half of her head, and also wearing a mask, staring at him.

  Looks like an artist's outfit.

  "Please... sit down." Yin Xian didn't know who this was, but his intuition told him it should be someone he knew.

  "How's that, Yoon Hyun-ji? My accent should be much better now, right?" The girl who sat down took off her sunglasses and mask. It was Kwon Bo-ah.

  "How did BoA end up here?" Yun Hyun jumped in surprise, then looked around, seemingly not seeing anyone holding a phone or camera taking pictures, before slightly calming down.

  "This coffee shop is my favorite place to come since I was a trainee. Today, I didn't have class, so I wanted to relax a bit. So I came here to have a cup of coffee. But as soon as I arrived, I found out that my favorite seat had been taken by someone I know, so I came over to say hello!" Quan Baoer is more lively and easier to talk to than I imagined.

  "Oh, I quite like it here too. It's quiet and not crowded, and the coffee tastes good. What do you want to drink? I'll treat you." Yoon Hyun smiled and asked Gwon Bo-ah.

  "Black coffee." Guan Bao'er took a look at the cup in front of Yin Xian and burst out laughing.

  Yin Xian also burst out laughing and got up to order coffee at the front desk.

  "I really envy you, you can walk among the crowd without even putting on a bit of makeup." Looking at Yun Hyun who easily ordered coffee and chatted with two people who recognized him for a couple of sentences before leaving nonchalantly, Gwon Bo-ra felt a little envious.

  "I'm quite lucky!" Yin Xian said with pride, "My fans are still very respectful of my personal lifestyle and there aren't any private fan-related incidents, they're all very tolerant of me."

  Quan Bao'er listened and didn't say a word, stirring the cup with a spoon in her hand.

  Black coffee without sugar or milk, all she could stir was her own emotions.

  "By the way, I've already recorded some DEMO, do you want to listen?" Yoon Hyun said, looking at Kwon Bo-ah's obviously troubled mood.

  "Already done? So quickly?" Quan Baoer looked at Yin Xian with a somewhat disbelieving gaze.

  "Some songs I wrote before, and this time I made some changes based on your characteristics, so it's relatively fast." Yoon Hyun took out his phone, plugged in the earphones, handed one side to Kwon Bo-ah, and started playing the DEMO he recorded.

  "Sounds great! Did you sing it yourself?" Kuang Bao'er listened to one song and his eyes lit up a bit.

  "Yes. On the one hand, because I recorded it directly with my laptop, the sound quality may not be very good. Another reason is that I adjusted the key of this song according to your vocal characteristics. So I sang a bit strangely..." Yoon Hyun felt a little embarrassed, and the DEMO he just made at least sounded strange to himself.

  "When can we start recording a song?! I suddenly really want to sing!" Bao'er became very excited.

  "Don't worry, you still need to correct your English pronunciation a bit more. As for me, the song isn't fully prepared yet either. Anyway, there's only one week left. Just bear with it a little longer." Yoon Hyun smiled.

  "It's been a long time since I've felt like singing as much as I do now." said Quan Baoer with a hint of sigh.

  "How many years? Then you all these years..." Yoon Hyun regretted bringing up this topic.

  "My first contract with the record label was for 5 years," said Quan Baoer, "At that time I thought I would sing for 5 years and then wouldn't want to sing again."

  "And then? Five years later and another five years? And another five years after that?" Yoon Hyun looked at Kwon Bo-ah, saying with a hint of a smile.

  "Yes... ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."

  "What's driving you to go on stage and sing now?"

  "I like people who like me." Guan Bao'er thought for a moment, "It's precisely because I don't want to disappoint them that I've been persisting. Otherwise, I might have given up long ago."

  "Sing your favorite songs for those who like you." Yoon Hyun also believed in this theory of his.

  "I've heard Taeyeon mention that line of yours before. I think it makes sense." Gwangbae suddenly burst out laughing, "Do you always talk like this?"

  Yoon Hyun gave a slightly awkward cough and said, "This is my motto, and it's also the driving force that supports me in continuing on in the entertainment industry."

  "So I'm quite envious that you can write songs. Want to sing what, just write what you want, sing the songs you like." said Quan Bao'er sincerely.

  "Baby, you can write it yourself!" Yin Xian unknowingly dropped the last honorific title. Even the way he addressed her changed from her stage name back to her real name, and he naturally started speaking in plain language, "Just learn to write. Yoo Yeon-jung sunbae will be happy to teach you. You've sung for so many years, with so much experience, it should be easy to pick up."

  "You say that, it seems to make some sense..." Guan Bao'er nodded, "But Teacher Yu Yongzhen is really too busy..." After finishing speaking, she looked at Yin Xian...

  "Ah..." Yun Xian suddenly understood Quan Bao'er's meaning. "Bao'er, you can start by learning to play a musical instrument or something."

  "Can you teach me, Yoon Hyun?" Kwon Bo-ah looked at Yoon Hyun who glanced around and spoke evasively, directly expressing her attitude.

  "Teach you... I think I'm not good enough. And I've never formally studied it either. I'm a self-taught person, I don't know how to teach others..." Yin Xian said with some embarrassment.

  "So how did you learn to write songs?" Quan Baoer saw that Yin Xian was not being modest, and was a little surprised.

  "It's just reading books. Read all the books related to composition that you can find, then try it out yourself, and slowly you'll get a sense of it." Yin Xianru spoke truthfully about her experience learning composition.

  "Yin Xian, you're really a genius." Quan Bao'er held back for half a day before saying.

  "Bao'er, you're making me feel so nervous with your praise......" Yin Xian felt a bit embarrassed, "Why don't you learn some basic music theory first? I can recommend some books for you to read... if you have the time and really want to learn..."

  "Alright!" said Guan Bao with great enthusiasm.

  "I have a few more DEMOs here, would you like to listen?" Yoon Hyun thought of changing the subject again.

  "Not yet... No, I want to listen!"

  Yoon Hyun handed his phone to Kwon Boa with a slightly speechless expression, "You put it away yourself. Those few songs with the title 'BoA' were recorded for you."

  Juan Bao'er took over the phone and started listening.

  Yin Xianze then started holding his own sketchbook and spaced out.

  The screen froze here.

  A beautiful woman sat opposite him, but he stared blankly out of the window.

  A woman wearing headphones with her eyes closed and tapping out a rhythm...
