Remembering will smile

  Kim Tae-yeon, who had entered the music and was a bit emotionally unstable, let out a long sigh and then glared at Yoon Hyun: "Ah! Oppa! What's with these words?! You almost made me cry."

  "If you hadn't interrupted me, I was just about to tell everything that happened backstage at the special stage!" Yoon Hyun looked at Kim Tae-yeon who was getting tense and smiled.

  "Bring it on, I'm not afraid! Anyway, when the time comes, as long as I cry, you'll definitely be the one who's attacked." Kim Tae-yeon said with a slightly guilty conscience.

  That special stage incident, whether it was her or all of Girls' Generation, seemed to have become a default taboo. Mainly because it was just too much. Kim Taeyeon thought back and even she herself blushed, wondering how she had been able to sing with such passion at the time...

  Yoon Hyun smiled and picked up a bottle of water from the side, opened it, handed it to Kim Tae-hyun, then opened another one for himself and started drinking.

  But he forgot, although music is playing now, the camera hasn't been turned off...

  Usually at this time, Kim Tae-yeon would be doing some lip-syncing or dance moves along with the music, but today, despite the most famous dance track being played, she was instead chatting and joking with Yoon Hyun, even accepting a drink of water that he had opened for her...and what's more, it all looked so natural!

  If the audience watching the live broadcast can still be calm, then it's strange...

  After music, commercials and a half-time moment, the broadcast signal returned to the studio.

  "Oppa, I think I should have come to my show earlier. Just half an hour ago, the number of our interactive text messages has already broken through 100,000! It's so exciting to see!"

  "You're excited about what everyone has sent over, right?" Yoon Hyun said nonchalantly.

  "Oppa, since you're here with close friends, can't you sing a few live songs for us on the spot?" Taeyeon tried to change the subject.

  "But I haven't finished telling my story yet." Yoon Hyun smiled, "You see, we met because of the song 'If', how can we not talk more about this song?"

  "Are you going to tell everyone about what happened on that special stage where you scolded me?" Kim Tae-yeon immediately put on a pitiful expression like a wounded puppy, while her eyes kept sending secret signals to Yoon Hyun.

  But Yoon Hyun didn't know whether he was pretending or really hadn't seen it, and continued talking to himself.

  "I think I should say something. 0677 friend, you don't have to be so anxious, even if I add more exclamation marks, I won't speed up my speech.

  Yoon Hyun looked at the interactive platform, "It was just before the comeback stage of 'Kissing You' that special stage of 'If', I think all Taeyeon's fans should still remember. Actually, I was only supposed to go on stage and play the piano for Taeyeon, without any intention of speaking.

  Then during rehearsals, Taeyeon insisted that I sing a part of the chorus too, so I sang a little.

  As Yoon Hyun spoke, his tone changed: "After rehearsals, our little Taeyeon came to me and said, 'Oppa, I think you sang really well, even better than me.' Well, as I mentioned earlier, I had high expectations for this song from Taeyeon, so I thought she was being humble. But then she told me that she had already sung it very seriously during rehearsals.

  I got angry and scolded her, along with the other Girls' Generation members... Ah, 0879 friend, don't be so impulsive, we're all civilized people, no need to rush into a fight, I didn't invite you...

  Where was I? Ah yes, I scolded them. At that time, I asked Taeyeon if she only liked the feeling of being liked and accepted on stage, or if she actually liked singing, liked singing for people who like her?

  I also brought up what I said to them when we first met, and they were so ashamed that they cried... Then it was soon time for us to go on stage, and I asked Taeyeon if she had confidence in singing well, or should we tell the TV station to cancel our special stage?

  Taeyeon looked at me with puffy eyes and said she could do it, and my heart just broke...

  Yoon Hyun made a very heartbroken expression towards the camera, and immediately the short message platform was filled with curses..."

  Then we went on stage. As soon as the first note came out of Taeyeon's mouth, I knew that she had listened to what I said and sang more perfectly than I imagined. Then I felt a little regretful that this song was sung by her alone. It seemed like I should have harmonized with her too. When I thought it was time for me to start singing, I did, and Taeyeon also stopped singing very tacitly. And when I thought 'ok, I've sung enough', Taeyeon started singing again... So you guys don't know that after we came down from the stage that time, Girls' Generation's manager looked at me like I was a monster... Ah! He's outside now, do you want him to come in and talk about his feelings?

  Yin Xian finished telling the story and opened a bottle of water to take a sip.

  It's just that I don't know whether it's because I said too much or was nervous...

  "I don't know what his mood was, but at the time when we were singing, I completely forgot that I was singing. How can I put it...I forgot that I was on stage, forgot that I was singing, forgot that I was performing, and then it just ended naturally." Taeyeon seemed to recall that collaboration as well, a faint smile appearing on her face. Immediately, this smile turned into a loud laugh: "And then, hahaha, our manager found me that night and had a talk with me, saying stuff like 'you're still young, you don't understand emotions', 'we're still at the starting line of Girls' Generation', 'the company doesn't approve of artists dating'...hahaha, thinking about it now is still really funny."

  "But it seems that since then, I haven't really been in touch with you guys either. Not even that year...I didn't really contact you guys." Yoon Hyun said this and suddenly felt a bit guilty.

  "There's nothing, actually after these two years, we've already seen through that matter." Taeyeon unexpectedly didn't avoid the topic. "And during the darkest period, Oppa, the words you said to us when we first met are something I recite in my heart every night before sleep. And honestly, sometimes when our members talk about you together, we feel like you have a prophetic ability. It's as if you had already predicted that we would encounter some things."

  "There's an old Chinese saying that roughly means, for someone to achieve great things, they must first go through hardships and get rid of the factors that would prevent them from becoming a great person. I have high expectations for you all, so naturally, I thought you'd go through some things. Fortunately, you've made it through."

  "0068 A friend asked: Can you tell us what Yoon Hyun said? I think it's better to ask Yoon Hyun himself to say it. Taeyeon interacted with the audience at the right time."

  "It's not good to be too proud. Never mind, anyway. Girls' Generation is doing well now, so I don't need to say harsh words like that anymore. Ah, I remember, when we first met, because I spoke in a serious tone, the nine of you looked at me as if I was an enemy." Yoon Hyun laughed.

  "That's a letdown. Yoon-ah kept telling us how gentle and nice you were before we went into the room, and at that time, we all liked your song too, so we had some small expectations. But when we met, oppa, you were so serious that it scared us to the point where we didn't even dare to breathe. " Ji Yeon did a lingering impression, "As a result, after we left the waiting room, not one of us remembered what you said."

  "But Xu Xian still remembers very clearly," said Yin Xian. "To be honest, among you few people, Xu Xian's mental endurance is the strongest."

  "8552 friends are also urging, let's repeat the famous quote of Yun Hyun OPPA, then I'll talk about what happened when we first met. At that time, we entered Yun Hyun OPPA's waiting room, originally expecting him to greet us warmly and chat with us about his songs. But as soon as he came up, he told us not to forget the experiences of being a trainee in the company for those years, not to forget why we wanted to debut, and not to forget what supported us all the way there. He also predicted that we would encounter setbacks in the future, and especially at difficult times, we must not forget why we chose this path in the first place. Finally, he said: You can withstand as much praise as you can withstand criticism. This last sentence has stuck with me to this day. Ah, 6253 friends say that Yun Hyun OPPA was absolutely right, what he said was great, and it's no wonder he's a top student from Seoul University." Taeyeon's eyes seemed to have a hint of tears again.

  "Ah, just now Taeyeon asked me to sing live, I think the atmosphere is good right now." Yoon Hyun chimed in and changed the subject, although he had been teasing Taeyeon earlier, but he didn't want Taeyeon to really cry during the live broadcast. "I see a guitar there, let me play and sing 'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky'."

  Then, under Taeyeon's applause, Yoon Hyun played guitar and sang a song.

  Then came another commercial break.

  "Let's talk about something happy instead." Yoon Hyun whispered to Kim Tae-yeon, "Don't cry in a bit."

  Kim Tae-yeon nodded.

  There is still one more chapter later, let's finish this part today.
