In the evening, a modern business vehicle stopped on the side of the road on a street in Apgujeong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and a few minutes later, a fashionably dressed man stepped out of the car and slowly walked to the nearby coffee shop.

As soon as he entered the coffee shop, the man saw a figure sitting in the corner, smiled, and walked over.

"Taeyeon, how long have you been here?"

It wasn't until he walked up to the little man that he sat down across from her and smiled.

“oppa。 ”

Kim Taeyeon, who was dressed more well, looked up at the man and laughed along.

"Why are your eye circles so heavy, haven't you been sleeping well lately?" The man also asked with great concern after seeing the somewhat pale look on Kim Taeyeon's face.

And Kim Taeyeon didn't hide it, "Well, oppa, you know, didn't our group prepare for its 10th anniversary recently." There are also rehearsals for recording, and some are in a hurry, so there are a lot fewer breaks. ”

"Okay, take care of your body. After listening to Kim Taeyeon's words, the man also sighed softly. Then, I called the waiter and ordered myself a cup of coffee and something to eat.

At this moment, Kim Tae-yeon's mobile phone on the other side also rang. The ringing of the phone attracted the eyes of both of them, and Kim Taeyeon's phone was placed on the table, so at a glance he could see the photo that covered her screen.

After seeing the photo, the man opposite also showed a faint smile and lowered his head to play with his mobile phone.

On the other side, Kim Taeyeon slowly picked up the phone, "Hey." ”

"Are you busy?"

This kind of beginning is the standard beginning of the last few phone calls between Lin Xi and Kim Taeyeon. Maybe they're afraid that the other party is busy, and then disturb the other party.

"No, I'm resting. ”

Kim Taeyeon shook her head gently and replied, "What about you, off work?"

"Well, just came out of the shower. Grabbing the hair that still beaded on it, Lin Xi slowly sat back on the sofa in the living room, looked up at the ceiling, and chatted with Kim Taeyeon on the other side of the phone.

At the coffee shop, Kim Taeyeon also leaned back on the cushion, holding one and pillowing the other, looking at the actions of the man opposite, and chatting softly with her boyfriend, "Have you eaten?" ”

"Eat. ”

After a few words of greeting, there was a tacit understanding between Lin Xi and Kim Tae-yeon for a blank and silent time.

At this time, the waiter at the coffee shop happened to come up with the coffee that the man had just ordered, "Hello, this is the coffee you ordered." ”

The man also said 'thank you' very politely.

Shanghai, Lin Xi, who was sitting in the apartment, also heard this voice, and his eyebrows suddenly raised up. The originally silent gaze suddenly sharpened like a knife light, but because the person in this apartment was just himself, naturally no one noticed this situation.

After half a ring, Lin Xi, who had regained his mind, smiled at his mobile phone, "What about drinking coffee at takeaway?"

……

……

"What about coffee outside?"

A very soft voice reached Kim Tae-yeon's ears over the phone.

"Well, it's rare that I don't have anything to do tonight, so I'll come out and rest for a while. Kim Taeyeon didn't deny it either, and replied very cheerfully.

"Don't be too late, it's not safe, go back to the dorm early to rest. Lin Xi on the other end of the phone also expressed his concern, and then continued, "Okay, you can talk to your friend, I'll sleep first." I was busy early this morning and into the evening, and now I'm tired to death. ”

Lin Xi, who does have a lot of work, also revealed a very tired feeling in his voice when he said this.

And Kim Taeyeon, who heard this, nodded, "I know, then you should rest early." Don't be too tired, I'll go over to you when I'm done with this time. ”

"Well, okay. Lin Xi on the other side of the phone smiled, and then hung up the call with Kim Taeyeon.

The man sitting opposite was also a little surprised when he saw it so quickly, "Why did you finish talking so quickly?"

"He's so tired. Kim Taeyeon, who was holding her phone, opened her mouth, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she only said such an answer.

It's just that Kim Taeyeon, who had just finished saying this, was caught by the man opposite with his little expression. Seeing this, the man's smile also hidden, and he frowned, "What's the matter, it's awkward with Lin Xi?"

When Kim Taeyeon heard this, she raised her head suddenly, with a helpless expression, "Oppa, am I acting obviously?"

"It seems to be quite serious. Seeing this expression again, it also made the man on the other side even more worried, "It seems that you came out of me today, and I guess you have a problem to tell me." ”

This time, Kim Taeyeon nodded without denial, "Well, there are indeed a few questions I want to discuss with oppa." ”

"Say, don't keep a smothered face. I'm wondering, what questions can't you tell Lin Xi, aren't you a couple?" the man nodded, then sat up straight, but looked at Kim Taeyeon with a strange expression.

"OPPA, as you know, our group has been more than just 10 years old. Everyone's contract has also expired, so now the company is discussing with us whether to renew the contract. After sorting out the language, Kim Taeyeon spoke.

When the man on the other side heard this, he also nodded his head, "I know this, and it's been spread on the Internet." Some people say that you will terminate the contract, and some people are looking forward to continuing to sign a contract, and some people say what it looks like anyway. But didn't you already want to renew your contract? ”

"It has nothing to do with the company, the problem is with me and Lin Xi. Kim Taeyeon bit her lip and replied in distress.

"Lin Xi?" Faced with this answer, the man was also slightly surprised, "What does this have to do with him, it's strange." ”

"He seemed to want me to step down and get married after a break. Listening to the words on the other side, Kim Taeyeon continued to throw the bomb in her hand.

However, after listening to it this time, the man's face was happy, "This is a good thing, why are you reluctant?" Speaking of this, the man was also very surprised and suppressed his voice, "You can't be out of love with Lin Xi, right?"

"Ah, oppa, what are you talking about. No, no, I'm on good terms with him. Maybe it was this sentence that pressed a certain button in Kim Taeyeon's heart, and she suddenly became a little anxious and nervous. That delicate little face was even more nervous and flushed.

If the man just said it casually, then after seeing Kim Taeyeon's reaction at this time, his heart also suddenly 'chuckled', nervous and shocked.

took a deep breath, and a man with the word 'Chuan' was already wrinkled between his eyebrows, and he became serious at this time, "What the hell is going on, such a good thing, what are you hesitating about." ”

"Oppa, I don't want to retire now, I want to fight for a few more years. Gritting her teeth, Kim Taeyeon gave her own answer.

As a result, there was no surprise, but he was scolded by the right man, "You're crazy, don't you look at how old you are now." Isn't it enough that you have put your whole youth into it since you were in your teens? It is so rare to meet your beloved and the person who loves you, why do you want to continue to stay here. ”

After speaking, perhaps he also felt that his tone just now was a little heavy, and the man also let out a sullen breath and said softly, "Taeyeon, you are now 28 or 29 years old." In another year, it will be 30. A woman's most beautiful years are about to pass, do you really want to stay in this circle of youth?"

"Also, you've been in love with Lin Xi for two years. This is the most suitable time to get married. If it's short, you don't know enough, and if it drags on for a long time, your feelings will turn sour. When the time comes, you really won't have time to regret it. ”

"Oppa, don't talk about it. It's not that I don't want to get married, I just don't want to get married so early. "How can Kim Taeyeon, who is also not stupid, not see through these problems. But knowing that she knows and is unwilling to quit the circle, this is her problem.

"Is it early?" The man's expression was already very serious at this time, "Do you think it's too early? Do you want to press it on yourself or on Lin Xi's body with the rules of the circle?"

Gritting her teeth, Kim Taeyeon was silent this time, and her expression struggled a little.

After seeing Kim Taeyeon like this, the man also seemed to be a little distressed, "Taeyeon, as your brother, I give you advice that I hope you can be happy." And I think Lin Xi is really very good, although no one is perfect, he also has some not very good things, but no one is perfect, you can't miss it if you can find such a man to marry. ”

"But oppa, I really don't want to get married so early. It's not that I don't love him, I just want to be late, and he said that he can understand me. Kim Taeyeon, who was already melancholy enough, quickly replied at this time, "Ah, why am I telling you this, oppa, I came out of you today, I didn't want to discuss with you the question of whether I get married or not, you just messed up my thoughts." ”

The man who wanted to continue, after seeing Kim Taeyeon's troubled little face, finally swallowed back the words that had gone up to his throat, "Okay, then let's not talk about this for now." Tell me, what are you doing with me today? ”

Kim Taeyeon, who reorganized her mentality, thought about it and said, "It's just that there are people in the circle who want to know me recently." ”

It was not the first time that the man had heard of such a situation, and at this time he also became a little surprised, "I heard you right, you mean that someone wants to pursue you?"

Nodding, Kim Taeyeon admitted, "Probably." ”

"Ah, doesn't he know you already have a boyfriend? This kind of situation also made the man laugh for a while, and asked very incredibly.

"I know, I've already asked my assistant to refuse. But it's still pestering, so it's just annoying. Originally, Kim Taeyeon didn't want to talk about it, but today after knowing that the man opposite had come to Seoul, he made an appointment to talk about it.

At this moment, the man also heard something, "Oh, so you didn't tell Lin Xi about this?"

"Do you think I should say it?" biting her lip, the white and rosy lip flaps formed a seductive picture. The expression of a very tangled expression changes back and forth on Kim Tae-yeon's face.

"You can tell me, why can't you tell Lin Xi. The man looked at Kim Taeyeon very puzzled, "Ah, what have you been thinking about lately? ”

"I didn't, I was just worried about what he was thinking. Originally, I had made him uncomfortable before, and now I am afraid to say this situation. Kim Taeyeon shook her head, "And the two of us have been in contact with each other a lot less recently, maybe everyone is busy." But I can still hear from the call that Lin Xi has been very unhappy recently, and I don't know why, so I don't dare to say it. ”

After hearing this, the man smiled self-deprecatingly, "Not happy? I guess what's the reason." ”

"I know, because of me. Kim Tae-yeon looked at her own oppa, do you really want to demolish herself like this?

"Yo, my sister, you still know that. Then why don't you tell him about it, he's your boyfriend, no matter how unhappy he is. As his girlfriend, you are being pried into the corner by others, shouldn't he be the first person to know about this situation as a boyfriend? Oh my God, Taeyeon, have you been so busy throwing away all the IQ in your own head lately and putting it in a brain of mush? After Kim Taeyeon finished speaking, the man also complained and taught the other party a lesson. said that Kim Taeyeon's little face was tense, and if it was more serious, she would probably cry.

After the man said this, the atmosphere between the two also became silent for a long time. After that, Kim Taeyeon, who had adjusted her mentality, replied, "Oppa, I called you here today to ask you to help me figure out a way, not to add trouble to me." Knowing this, I went home to rest. ”

"It's a good thing you called me over, otherwise I wouldn't have known that you, who are usually so smart, could do such a stupid act at such a time. The man also continued to sneer at Kim Taeyeon, and his expression became very serious and serious.

At this time, Kim Taeyeon also retorted seriously, "Oppa, I just have my own thoughts?

After saying this, the man was also silent for a long time, and finally gave a sentence, "That's right, it's Lin Xi who is wrong...... Forget it, I'll go first, and you can go back to the dormitory early to rest. ”

The man who wanted to say something, but halfway through speaking, he took it back, then got up to pay and left. It's just that when I got in the car and was about to go home, I pondered for a while, then turned the car around and drove towards Incheon.
