Sometimes, as fate would have it, it was a miraculous thing that a boy born in China who had gone to work alone in a foreign country and a native Korean girl met underground at the S.M company in Seoul - the first intersection of two lifelines that should have been difficult to interact with in this life.

It's been more or less seven years since the boy first accosted a girl in a broken Korean language that no Korean can understand, right? After spending such a long time together, the lives of the two people have long been entangled together, and there is probably no way to be completely separated, right?

is such a guy who has long been inseparable from his life, and such a guy who has already imperceptibly entered the deepest part of his heart...... The name is pronounced in Korean to the point that it will make people irritated, this guy who always makes himself inexplicably anxious and angry...... Whether it's the way he's trying to show his best self as a trainee and an entertainer in practice and on stage, or his thoughtful and careful life as an ordinary boy, everything about this guy has long been completely exposed to his eyes - he's known each other for so long, even if it's just a wink of his eyes, or just a smile on the corner of his mouth, Kim Taeyeon is confident that she can correctly capture what this guy named Wang Nam-qian is thinking.

A word, a syllable, may not mean anything to anyone else, but for Kim Tae-yeon, it was enough for her to read the information she wanted from it: the tone that suddenly softened from stiffness, the look that came to her for the first time since she sat in the passenger seat...... Even though it was only a subtle and almost imperceptible movement, her heart was gradually filled with joy and happiness.

All these years all the way to the present, Kim Taeyeon knows too well what kind of attitude this man who has been flooded with peach blossom luck has towards the girls around him: as early as when both of them were just trainees, sweating in the dark underground practice room of S.M. company all day long, and doing their best for an uncertain future, Kim Taeyeon had already seen with his own eyes how this guy who always had a gentle smile on his face restrained his expression. Resolutely reject those female trainees who even shed tears in front of him.

Crossing the ocean, leaving his homeland, and even almost falling out with his parents, just to make his debut as an artist, such an unattainable dream that may be described as ethereal: probably because he was carrying too heavy a burden for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy? For the goal that brought him to Korea, he sweated, shed tears, shed blood, and even personal emotions that might hinder his future were deliberately shielded from his life. Whether it is those female trainees who once confessed and failed, or the Nuna who quit because of her pride and reserve, who is not an outstanding person with good looks, figure, and ability?

However, he has not wavered in the slightest: at least in the nearly seven years that the two have known each other, Kim Taeyeon has never seen him - that is, it is with such a perseverance and perseverance that he was able to get back up tenaciously after experiencing setbacks like SHINee, and finally realize his dream as a member of EXO.

It's because I know better than anyone else in this world what kind of life the hero in this fairy tale-like story has been repeatedly lamented by the media and EXO's meals, anxiety and anxiety will grow wildly in my heart, so that it has reached a point where it is completely uncontrollable.

Compared with the little girl who only knew how to rely on each other and only thought about relying on each other, although she has matured a lot and grown a lot, can she break through the almost unbreakable psychological barrier of the other party now? Can she do what no one has been able to do for so many years? Even if she believes that she may be the closest person in South Korea and the world to the other, no matter how close they are, the two of them are always just friends.

If he really wants to break through this relationship, if he really wants to go further, he ...... What will be done?

Even if it's already a relationship that can be talked about without words, if you really want him to get along with him as the opposite sex, he ...... Will you reject yourself?

'I can only look at you quietly like this,

I don't know what the result of this love will be,

Like a child,

Will you hug me warmly at this moment?'

The real enemy, and the biggest enemy, may not be the trainee who is now being "taught" by herself, who has a face that women can't help but admire and envy, or maybe not the Busan girl who is being hotly discussed by the audience in front of the TV and plays the role of wife among the couple who were voted "Couple of the Year" by the media.

'I'm not alone anymore, am I?

For there, those who come to me,

Only you.

Only you are my everything,

I don't know what the result of this love will be,

Like a child,

Come closer, will you hug me warmly?'

It's like writing it in the lyrics.

The real enemy, in fact, is his heart that has been closed and refused to open after being soaked in all kinds of suffering and torture, right? But now that he has realized his dream, become an artist, and gained huge popularity because he starred in a successful TV series, will he still guard his heart door as before?

Closer, closer...... But no matter how close the body is, if he is unwilling to let himself really enter his heart, then the distance between the two people is not even a centimeter close.

What to do? Or rather, what to do?

'There's no point in keeping the status quo, you've got to smash him.' ’

Although Pani was speaking in Tiffany-esque Korean, which is still occasionally confused, Kim Tae-yeon understood exactly what Pani was trying to convey in this sentence.

So with the determination to break the boat, she wrote such a lyric full of her own heart, and forcibly pulled the other party out in the middle of the night - leaving no room for the other party to hesitate, so she attacked with a fierce straight punch and tried her best to attack the past.

And then there was the self-talk that sounded like talking to the air: as she forced herself to play a one-man show with a calm tone and a smiling expression, she had been longing for the man sitting next to her to give her a response, but she was equally afraid of the other's response—the heart beating violently under the indifferent exterior almost as if it were about to burst out of her chest, until she heard the word.

Despite having only one syllable.

The hesitation, the struggle, and the vacillation contained in that syllable.

She heard it completely.

His heart is indeed not as firm as it was before his debut.

The dawn of victory is at hand.

'Come closer. ’

It's just a little bit there.

Just a little bit more and you'll be successful.

However, at such a critical moment, she actually heard her own voice.

My own voice from another place.

"Say what you want, say the little dreams in your heart. ”

Sometimes, fate is such a magical thing.

Seeing the man next to him hurriedly pick up the phone, and put the phone directly to his ear without even looking at the caller's name displayed on the screen, Kim Taeyeon felt as if all her strength had been drained suddenly: What would this night be like after such an unfortunate phone call?

“…… Hello?

Yes!...... I'm still outside...... Hmmm......"

For the first time in her life, Ms. Kim felt the downside of buying a sports car: she couldn't hear the small amplification of the phone she had asked her manager to buy because of the wind in her ears — which made her even more upset.

“…… I know...... I'll be back soon, hang up first. ”

The brief conversation had ended in less than twenty seconds, but in the midst of that short twenty seconds, the voice of the man beside him had become stable again: his voice had not wavered as he had spoken the last words to the unusually uninteresting caller on the other side of the phone.

“…… Who is it?"

"Ah, yes...... Luhan. ”

"Is it a member? haven't you slept so late?" In his heart, he wanted to grab this EXO member named Luhan out of the dormitory and stab him a few times, but Kim Taeyeon still kept his voice somewhat calm.

“…… Well, it was Brother Xuan Jun who asked. ”

The agent's call to check the post has almost evolved from fatigue to the point of detachment, but Kim Taeyeon still gritted her teeth and managed the expression on her face, trying to bring the topic back to the topic that was going on before this phone call appeared: "Nam Qian Oppa, I still ...... Didn't hear your reply. ”

“…… Taeyeon. ”

This time she only waited five seconds.

"Hmm. ”

"It's a red light ahead. (To be continued.) )
