Kim Tae-yeon's sudden outburst obviously stunned Han Woo.

He looked in a daze as tears fell from the red eyes that were glaring at him like broken beads, and then wet the white mask on her face...... It's like wetting his hands.

Time.

A feeling of being overwhelmed and feeling a little worried, accompanied by a thick and incomprehensible mixed mood, stirred in his heart.

He thought about it, but because the person in front of him cried and his mind was a mess, he couldn't think at all, so he could only open his mouth, and followed the words that the two people had just ended, and hesitated to continue, no matter what, it is always right to apologize first.

"yes, I'm sorry, Taeyeon...... It's OPPA's mistake, it's OPPA's mistake, I ......"

"OPPA, what did you do wrong?"

"Huh...... Uh-huh?"

Looking at Han Woo, who really looked like someone who had done something wrong, hanging his head first, and apologizing to himself with helplessness and self-blame, Kim Taeyeon suddenly bit his lower lip slightly and asked him.

After that, when Han Woo suddenly raised his head and looked at his eyes, Kim Taeyeon shook his head for no reason.

She didn't shy away from raising her hand to wipe the tears on her face in front of Han Yu, and then she took a deep breath, looked at him with red eyes, and said in an affirmative tone: "OPPA, you don't know why I'm like this, and you don't know what you've done wrong, right?"

As soon as Han Yu heard her words, his appearance suddenly became silent in a slight stunned.

"Ho...... I knew it. ”

As soon as she saw him like this, Kim Taeyeon smiled as expected, but the low laughter looked extremely weak and tired.

"Hey, what the hell is wrong with me today......"

While wiping the tears in her eyes with her fingers, Kim Tae-yeon turned her back to Han Woo slightly, turned her face sideways, and through the mask, the crying and nasal voice in her voice seemed to be aggravated a lot: "OPPA, do you know? Your innocent behavior really makes people feel as if they have become the one who made the mistake...... OPPA, you know what?"

"Taeyeon, I-"

couldn't help but make a sound, but as soon as the tone of his voice was raised, he saw the petite and thin figure in front of him, and some words were stuck in his mouth, and he couldn't say anything.

Han Yu tried again and again, but finally lowered his head and let out a breath from his mouth, he frowned tightly as if he had a headache, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and while lowering the volume, there was a little unspeakable concern and doubt in his tone:

"Taeyeon...... Yes, you're right, I do...... I really can't think of what made you angry. Is it because of my previous proposal? Or did I make you angry with my own actions today? But don't you know very well that Taeyeon yourself can't live like this again......

"Why not, OPPA, haven't you lived this way yourself?"

Hearing this rhetorical question next to him, Han Woo couldn't help but put down his hand, raised his face, and looked at Kim Taeyeon who turned his head to look at him again.

She seemed to have controlled the emotions that had collapsed just now, at least tears no longer overflowed quickly in her reddened eyes, but she didn't know why, looking at her at this moment, Han Yu felt a more melancholy feeling in her heart than before.

"OPPA, you said that it is better to live with everyone than alone, and that's true, but OPPA, you say this to me, why do you still live the same life as me? OPPA, you would rather be alone than reach out to the world, right? OPPA, something you don't want to do yourself...... What qualifications do you have to ask me to do it?"

Saying this, Kim Taeyeon secretly gritted her teeth, she tried to tighten her cheeks so that she would not show that weak and sad look again, and then, word by word, seriously said to the tall figure sitting in front of her:

"OPPA, you know what? It's not selfish to live your life the way you want it, even if you're cut off from the world...... That's not selfishness, at most...... It's your choice. But ——!"

The lips under the mask were unknowingly pursed, as if they were sad and sad, and they seemed to be aggrieved and angry.

"But...... OPPA: You ask others to live their lives the way they want them to, and that's called selfishness!"

The words fell, ignoring the momentary stupeness in his eyes, Kim Taeyeon turned her back to him again, she lowered her head, her light blonde hair hanging down like a protective cover, covering her eyes that kept fluttering under her eyelashes.

As if this is the only way to make the emotions in her heart ...... For a short time, get a little reassuring relief.

"OPPA, you don't know why I'm so angry and upset...... Right?"

"That's good...... Then I'll tell you now. ”

"OPPA, do you remember, compared to the current me, the former me, the former Kim Taeyeon who was not famous...... At that time, I was even more lonely than I am now. ”

Han Yu stared at the thin back silently, his gaze was indescribable, he felt that at this time, he was more suitable to be a person who only listened and did not speak.

"I don't know what's wrong with me, if I was born like this, or if I don't know how to develop such a character. I grew up, almost, and didn't have any friends. In my memory, there are only a few people I can count, and that's it...... Many of them are now strangers to me. ”

There was no response, and Kim Taeyeon continued, she was now more like she was talking to herself than talking, and between her low hair, her faintly glowing red and swollen eyes seemed to be flashing with an indescribable sadness.

"My mom and my mother always like to say that I'm just an introvert, but only I know that I'm such a person, and I'm more suitable for a person's life. ”

"However, adapting to a person does not mean that I like a person, in fact, it may be because a person has too much time, in fact...... I seem to be more eager to be with other people than my peers. But I really don't know what to do. Because I don't know how to make friends, because I feel that I have to take the initiative to contact them, this kind of behavior makes me feel too awkward and uncomfortable......"

"So...... I'm like this, on the one hand, I want to have a lot of friends like others, but on the other hand, I don't want to take the initiative to act, maybe the real idea in my mind is that I want others to take the initiative to contact me, right? I want them to take the initiative to cater to my personality. That's cheeky, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Han Yu subconsciously opened his mouth, but he couldn't say the words of comfort.

He sighed heavily in his heart, and there was a deep pity in his eyes as he looked at the girl, which he didn't even notice.

"In my memory, the situation in which I lived as a person lasted for a long time. The first time I changed was when I was 16 years old, that is, in '04, during the summer vacation of that year, I signed up for a cram school in order to participate in the SM audition. ”

"It's not just about learning vocal music professionally, it's also about teaching us some cultural lessons. Because Abba heard that those big companies in Seoul have high requirements for their trainees, and I haven't been good at homework since I was a child, so I thought I could make up for it temporarily, after all, my dream at that time was to become a real singer, so I made a lot of jokes when I was in cram school......"

"But, looking back now, I really feel that it was a very happy time, very happy. ”

"Because, not only did I meet two friends who had the same ambition as me, but I also ...... for the first time I came into contact with something called 'MSN'. ”

"For me at the time, that kind of instant chat software was really amazing, not only like a phone, I could chat anytime and anywhere, but also ...... Can you meet new people?"

"I was really like a pure idiot at that time, and I just got through a person's request to add them in a muddle, and then he became my first contact for MSN. Now think about it...... Maybe it wasn't a coincidence, it wasn't fate, but he had planned it a long time ago?"

A hand couldn't help but raise and touch the mask on his face, and the corners of Han Yu's mouth under the mask silently pulled out an embarrassed and bitter smile.

"Anyway...... And just like that, I started my studies at cram school. At that time, I was actually quite tired, and I had a lot of pressure every day, thinking about whether I could pass the audition, and what if I didn't pass, Abba had worked hard for me to learn vocal music...... But, fortunately, at that time, I had two friends around me to comfort me, and ...... A friend on the Internet is constantly encouraging me, chatting with me, laughing with me, and making me happy. ”

"In fact, I became friends with that person before I met those two new friends, on the first day I joined the cram school. I never knew who he really was and what his name was, he only told me that his surname was Kim and he was also from Jeonju. ”

"Until one day, when we were in English class, we talked about choosing an English name, and I heard that companies in Seoul are popular to use stage names or something, so I asked him if he had an English name. He told me that his English name was Peter, and when I asked him why he was called that, he said that he liked Peter Pan very much, because although Peter Pan was a child who would never grow up, he had enough courage to challenge this world ruled by adults and try to protect the people he wanted to protect. ”

"I was really naïve...... I thought his statement was much more handsome than I thought, so I said to him, 'Well, since you're Peter, I'll be called Wendy,' Princess Wendy...... So he's Kim Peter, and I'm Kim Wendy, the one he's supposed to protect......"

"Hoo ......"

The whole person suddenly seemed to be unable to bear the increasingly suppressed mood in his heart, Han Yu straightened up slightly, looked up at the endless dark night sky above, and ...... for a long time Exhaled a breath.

If you look closely, you will notice the slightest change in his eye sockets.

And the petite figure beside him who had entered a state of memory was not affected by him in the slightest, and continued to speak in a low tone of self-muttering.

"Me and Peter, it was really good at that time. I don't know what kind of mind I had at the time, but I just felt that I could talk to him very well, and every day, every day, I wanted to have some time with him, even if he was a boy. That's why I've also increased the amount of time I spend online every day...... I'm really sorry for Abba, his daughter is not working hard for her life as he thinks, and myopia was also raised at that time......"

"However, I have never regretted it, because I feel that I am really a perfect match for Peter, even if my real personality is actually so bad......"

"Think about human beings are really strange creatures, obviously they can't get along with anyone, and suddenly one day, when you meet such a person, the world becomes brighter, like finding the same kind of monster......"

In short, in this way, my short but happy life in cram school was spent in the company of my studies and Peter. ”

"Later, before the summer vacation was over, I went to Seoul to participate in the audition of SM Company, but at that time, I was very disappointed that the two friends who had been on an appointment together missed the appointment, and they did not meet me in Seoul as promised. ”

"My relationship with them was also broken at that time, because although I got an explanation from the other party at that time, I still had a feeling of betrayal in my heart, feeling abandoned, and this feeling made me feel very uncomfortable. ”

"The good thing is...... At that time, at least, at least three friends, there was the last one who was with me. ”

"Just when I was feeling lost, I received encouragement from Peter and support from Abba, so I quickly cheered up and finally passed the selection of SM. Come to think of it, it was on July 17th that I had a successful result, which was the day before today, which was also the 11th year that had connected me to the company. ”

"However, I didn't choose to join the company at the first time, but asked the company to return to Jeonju and spend the last bit of my summer vacation. Because I haven't had time to say goodbye to my family yet, because ...... I haven't had time to say goodbye to Peter yet. ”

"When I became a trainee, I couldn't access the Internet, and Peter was in Jeonju, so it was impossible to meet me, I don't know why, but after thinking about this in the car on the way back, I was very excited and happy and suddenly became a little depressed. ”

"At that time, I immediately told Peter the news that I had passed the audition, and he seemed surprised and behaved a little strangely, but I didn't think much of it at the time. Looking back now, I realize that since then, problems have arisen between us......"

"When I got back to Jeonju, I suddenly became a little idle, and my goal was accomplished, and I didn't have to go to school. It was a pleasure to chat with Peter online, but as the days passed, I felt sad to think that I might not be able to contact him for a long time in the future. Until one day, I realized that on my way out, there always seemed to be someone silently watching me. ”

"I felt a little scared and even more strange at the time, so one day, while he wasn't looking, I ran up behind the man and patted him on the shoulder. ”

"He was scared, and then I was scared of him. ”

"Because he turned around and had a very scary mask on his face, but then I recognized him again...... It turns out that I actually know this person, when I was in cram school, he was my classmate, sometimes we would talk about him, because he was a very strange person, he would wear a mask on his face almost every day, no one knew what he looked like, everyone was speculating whether there was some scar on his face or something. ”

"When I recognized this cram school student, he was visibly more panicked, and I don't remember what I said to him at that time, but at a moment when I looked at him curiously, I didn't know what he was thinking, and I suddenly felt ...... He could have been Peter. ”

"I thought about it, I didn't hesitate, to be honest, I was the one who was peeked at every day, I still had this confidence, I asked him directly in person, he was stunned when he heard it, and only after a long time, did he ask me in a tone that was hard to believe...... How do I know?"

"I guessed it! He's Peter, he's ...... That Peter of mine. ”

"OPPA, you may not imagine, that day, on that day, August 5, 2004, the day I have always remembered deeply, I met him for the first time in reality, or I caught him by myself, at that moment I felt no less than when I passed the SM audition, I was about to jump for joy......"

"I met Peter, and that day I did something I had never done in my life — I went on a date with him, and that afternoon, when the sun was shining, I ran with him everywhere in my life, talking to him about myself, about my family. ”

"I didn't know what was wrong at the time, but the person who usually didn't say anything was going to tell him what he had said for more than ten years that day. I remember that I was with him that day, and I picked out a mask for him, a mask with the Leo logo on it, and replaced the ugly mask on his face. ”

"He was so stingy at that time, he just wouldn't let me see his face, but thinking that this was the first time we met in reality, I just forgot it, thinking that one day, even if there was a burned face under the mask, I think I would definitely be the same as before, always as good as him. ”

"And yet...... This idea, I did not expect, was broken shortly after. It was when I went to Seoul and recorded a collaboration with The One......"
