……

On July 17, 16-year-old Kim Tae-yeon passed the selection as she wished, and with a selection rate of 9,000:1, she successfully entered SM Company and became one of the trainees for key observation.

If nothing else, in the next few years, she will debut as a signed artist under SM Company.

The hard work and sweat of the past, after walking through all the thorns in front of me, finally turned into a bright and flat road.

On the way back to Jeonju, Kim's father was almost always in a state of emotion. As soon as the news came out, he immediately called home to report the good news, and from time to time he remembered which relative wanted to be notified, and while driving the car, he talked loudly with a red face and red ears, until Kim Taeyeon, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but remind his father not to drive dangerously, and this kind of excitement and nowhere to vent was slightly restrained.

Compared with his father, who was so happy that he didn't know what to say, Kim Taeyeon's reaction was much calmer after learning the news that he had passed the audition.

When the trainee is not like she is in the school, there is no semester division, and Kim Taeyeon was notified after passing the selection that the company has arranged a dormitory for her and can move in at any time. It's just that Kim Taeyeon asked her father to negotiate with SM, saying that she wanted to spend her last summer vacation before officially starting her life as a trainee.

This is actually the idea of Kim's father, but fortunately, SM is also more tolerant of this aspect, probably because the announcement of Kim Taeyeon's entry into the company is indeed very dazzling, and SM is worried that if he is too harsh before signing the contract, it will attract the rebellious psychology of the little girl, and it will be bad if this good seedling is snatched away by other companies.

So he agreed to Kim Tae-yeon's request.

On the way home, Kim Tae-yeon lay on the open car window, the wind blowing slowly in stirred the hair in her ears, and the light of the setting sun in the distance reflected in her eyes, reflecting a magnificent amber luster.

As a trainee, half of my goal has been achieved.

But Kim Taeyeon's heart has a feeling of emptiness.

"There doesn't seem to be a computer in the company's trainee dormitory......"

"Hmm, what did you say, Taeyeon?"

Kim Taeyeon quickly turned around, smiled at her father, who was looking at her sideways, shook her head, and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something else." ”

"Oh, yes. ”

Father Jin didn't doubt it, looked at his daughter, nodded, took his gaze back, and continued to focus on driving his car.

Kim Taeyeon secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

For some reason, as time went on, she became less and less willing to tell her family about Peter's existence.

I always feel a little inexplicably weak.

Especially she remembered that some time ago, during a meal, her mother told her about the harm of online dating at the dinner table, intentionally or unintentionally.

I'm not dating online, Peter and I are just good friends...... Yes, good friend.

Thinking about it this way, Kim Taeyeon's heart seems to have settled down a lot.

After returning home, Kim Taeyeon was warmly welcomed by the whole family. Not only was she held in her arms by her mother with reddened eyes for a while, but even the little Kim Xiayan's children cut a crooked wreath and wanted to put it around her sister's neck, but when she put it on, she found that the cut was too small and she couldn't wear it at all, which made Kim Taeyeon and others cry and laugh and comforted her, so that the little girl's tears could be stopped.

For a period of time after that, Kim Taeyeon lived a rather plain and regular life.

You don't have to open your eyes early every day, bring your sheet music and textbooks to cram school, and you don't have to be busy practicing vocal music all day long, and you almost hurt your voice.

As long as she sleeps until she wakes up naturally every day, she can eat the breakfast prepared by her mother after waking up, and if she is interested at noon, she will take the little out for a spin and come back when the meal is eaten, and her parents and siblings are at home, and it will not make her feel lonely.

Also, the thing she spends most of her day doing is still sitting in front of her computer and chatting with someone through MSN.

They talk about everything, the parents are short, the world is all over the world, and under the guidance of someone, they talk about Kim Taeyeon herself the most, as well as her and her family.

For example, when she was a child, Kim Taeyeon liked to fight snow together on the grass in front of her house with her brother Kim Ji-woong, who could throw snowballs farther than anyone else, and sometimes they would draw on the snow. For another example, Kim Taeyeon still has a hiccup match with her brother from time to time......

Kim Taeyeon, who passed the audition, was like letting go of all her burdens, even if it was something that normal girls wouldn't tell boys, she would type it out on the keyboard without thinking, and then send it to the person she called "Kim Peter".

She likes a melancholic vibe, so she also likes a rainy day.

The reason why she drinks milk every day is because she also wants to grow taller.

She has always been said by her family to be a child's taste.

She thinks she's pretty good at turning a pen.

Recently, she has been fond of a spicy wavy potato chip from Lay's.

She is different from normal girls, she prefers deep purples and blues to pink.

……

It was as if she wanted to tell the other party everything about herself.

But even so, Kim Taeyeon still feels that something is wrong all over her body.

I can't say what it is, but as the time entered August, less than a month before she left for Seoul, the Kim family obviously noticed that Kim Taeyeon's temper strangely became irritable.

It was as if there was a nameless fire hidden in her heart, burning faintly without even knowing the source of herself.

Even later, when chatting, the person sitting on the other end of the network noticed that her state was not right, and couldn't help but ask a few questions.

But looking at his concerned words on the screen, Kim Tae-yeon, who was sitting at home, rubbed her hair even more irritably, took off her glasses, and lay on the table and didn't want to say anything.

Time gradually came to August 5th, and Kim Taeyeon suddenly received a phone call in the morning informing her that she needed to go to Seoul in two days to meet the music teacher arranged for her by the company. It is said that although the other party is not famous, his strength is really powerful, otherwise he would not have been assigned by SM to a trainee like Kim Taeyeon who is already strong as a teacher.

Kim's father and mother were really happy when they heard the news, which showed that the company in Seoul really valued their daughter, but neither couple noticed Kim Tae-yeon's somewhat sullen expression on the side.

After lunch, Kim Taeyeon routinely took her little and went out for a walk, wanting to soothe her emotions.

Today's mood can be said to have fallen to a low point, and the phone call from Seoul was like a magic voice that reminded Kim Taeyeon of something she had been trying so hard to forget all this time.

It turns out that sadness and depression can sometimes turn into appetite.

Kim Tae-yeon, who has been nagging by her mother to eat a little fatter before going to Seoul, finally opened her stomach today and ate a variety of street food that she usually doesn't dare to try to protect her throat.

After passing the selection, the golden mother waved her hand and raised her pocket money several levels, so recently her small purse is also quite abundant, and while filling her mouth with things, she also bought a few strings for the little who keeps spinning around her feet.

In this way, the two lords, one man and one dog, sat on the stone bench under the big tree, eating while watching the passers-by come and go.

Occasionally, a bored Kim Taeyeon would look up at the blue and cloudless sky overhead, wondering what was going on in her mind.

"Wang!"

Suddenly, the little who was lying on the ground happily licking a few pieces of blood sausage stood up and shouted in one direction with a lot of anger.

"Don't scream. ”

Kim Taeyeon, who was looking up at the sky, also lowered her head and said casually.

"Wow, Wow!"

As a result, she heard her puppy shouting twice more.

"I told you not to scream, we're going to scare others. ”

couldn't help frowning, a little unconcealable restlessness appeared on Kim Taeyeon's childish little face, she lowered her head, touched the little's head, and glanced along the direction that the little had just shouted.

She happened to see a figure with a backpack dangling from behind a tree, and then walked away with her head down.

Kim Taeyeon blinked, always feeling that the tall and thin figure was a little familiar.

After recalling it carefully, she couldn't find anything out of her memory, so she shook her head, didn't think much about it, clapped her hands and stood up, pulled the little on a leash, and said, "All right! ”

However, this time on the road, Kim Taeyeon was not as casual as before.

She always glanced back from time to time, and then a little doubt appeared between her eyebrows.

Finally, when she had reached the busy street, she finally smacked her lips, turned around without warning, and walked towards a tall, thin figure standing pretending to be in front of a roadside stall behind her.

When the other party saw her from a distance, he was frightened, and quickly turned his body around, which strengthened Kim Taeyeon's inner guess.

She walked behind the other party, patted the other person on the back, and said very directly, "Ah, what's the matter with you?"

“…… You...... Is there anything wrong with you?"

A low, familiar voice came into my ears.

Kim Taeyeon's brows furrowed, as if the resentment in her heart had poured out, and she said loudly in a volume that was enough to attract the attention of the people around her, "I already found out that you were following me! Tell me, what the hell are you trying to do? Are you some kind of stalker?"

The other party turned his back to her, and after a moment of silence, he put something on his face in his hand, and said in a low voice, "You read it wrong. ”

"What is wrong, I see you following me for several streets!"

At this time, there were already many people around who cast surprised and curious eyes.

This gave Kim Taeyeon plenty of courage.

She looked at the appearance of the other party still facing away from her, and couldn't help but reach out and pull his shoulder hard.

"Wow......"

As a result, as soon as the other party turned around, not only Kim Taeyeon herself was so frightened that she took two steps back, but even some onlookers next to her subconsciously exclaimed.

The other party actually wore a wooden mask with a strange style on his face.

Kim Taeyeon recognized this mask, which was the "two classes" mask in Hahui Masquerade, and she felt that the other party was deliberately scaring herself, and the anger in her heart became more and more high.

But just as she was about to confirm the fact that the other party was following her with the help of passers-by, her eyes touched the eyes on the other side's mask.

All of a sudden, the whole person couldn't help but be stunned.

Because in the eyes of the other party looking at her, she didn't feel the slightest annoyance, but a little indescribable helplessness and softness.

Then, suddenly, her brain seemed to buzz.

She remembered why she thought the other person was familiar!

She also remembered why she was inexplicably familiar with his voice!

"......"

Just when Jin Zhiyu was annoyed in his heart that he was too reckless today, he heard the voice of the petite figure in front of him, which was still menacing, suddenly stammered.

"Peter...... Is that you?"

When he heard this question, which was carefully transmitted to his ears, he couldn't help but be stunned.

After staring at the big eyes in front of him for a long time, a faint wry smile suddenly appeared on his young and handsome face under the mask.
