Chapter 17: It's Time to Forget You

As if on a big holiday, Park rushed out of school after school and headed straight into the supermarket not far from her home — biscuits, chips, chocolates, carbonated drinks...... That big plastic bag made her spend almost all the pocket money snacks she carried, and she was almost able to support three or four people to sit together and have a small party...XS520. COM

However, she waited left and right, and the younger sister who was supposed to enjoy these snacks with her, and waited for the release of the music source and music video of the song they had been looking forward to for a long time, was not by her side as she expected.

Since more than an hour ago, she had fallen into a state of agitation, and began to call the sister who had missed the appointment - I don't know how many attempts she made, and even the potato chips were eaten by her two packets alive before she finally dialed the other party's phone.

"Can you hurry up? It's almost time! If you don't come again, I'll see it by myself!"

Sitting alone in front of the computer, Park couldn't help but yelled into the phone in displeasure — the sister had become increasingly difficult to reach since she "accidentally" became a trainee at a small entertainment agency she had never even heard of before at the end of last year.

If it was in the past, Park Zhina could also understand: after experiencing so many failures, she finally succeeded in becoming a trainee, and this sister must redouble her efforts to move forward towards her dream - but on such a big day today, she seems to have lost all her patience, and she only wishes that the sister who had made an appointment with her at the time, but failed to keep her "promise" immediately, gave birth to wings and flew to her house.

"Ernie, I'm really sorry, the vocal teacher didn't know what the wind was pumping today, and scolded all of us one by one, and it took a long time to delay after class......"

"Alright, alright, Enfi, where are you now, how long will it take to get there?"

The time officially announced by the company before is approaching, and there is no interest in the explanations of why the other party is late, Park Ji-na only cares about where this sister is now.

"I ...... Just arrived at the subway station...... Ernie, don't be angry! Wait a minute, when I get off the subway, go to the convenience store on the side of the road and buy some snacks or something, how about you......"

"I've already bought it! You fly back for me!"

She unwrapped the sheet of chocolate in her hand and bit down a large piece of it viciously—leaving half a circle of regular-shaped tooth marks on the plate as she moved.

I don't know who threw a big plastic bag at the door of the practice room, but when Kim Tae-yeon, who had just returned from the bathroom to this practice room belonging to Girls' Generation, passed by the plastic bag and caught a glimpse of it being filled with snacks, she unceremoniously took out this plate of chocolate from it- Seeing that she is about to return in less than half a month, the members of Girls' Generation have been strictly managing their bodies during this time: she only has a few vegetable leaves for lunch today, and now that it is almost dark, her stomach has already begun to protest against her master.

It's just a plate of chocolate, and whoever is so kind to throw this bag of snacks there probably won't mind if she "steals" such a little bit, right?

So Kim Taeyeon swaggered and unabashedly lay on the sofa in the corner of the practice room, and nibbled on the chocolate plate in front of several other members who were fiddling with their phones or closing their eyes during the break in practice.

It's only a few minutes, right?

Feeling the heat of the chocolate spread from her mouth to all over her body, she stretched her arms lazily, and then swiped the screen casually with the thumb of the hand holding the phone - what is that guy doing now? Is he waiting for the release of the music source and music video like her?

Is that guy in the company now? Is he frustrated that the stage has been canceled for two weeks?

No matter who you are, you should have had three weeks to stand on the stage and show yourself in front of the public, but you were forcibly deprived of two weeks before you stand on the stage, which is probably unacceptable, right?

If you think about it, it's not so surprising that the company will make such a decision in the end - whether it's SuperJunior, Girls' Generation, SHINee, or f(x), none of the lead singers in these senior groups have officially debuted solo, and that guy, as a junior, is ahead of their seniors.

Although I can understand the company's desire to seize every opportunity to make the group EXO, which has been sinking for a whole year after its debut, and finally turned over last year, and finally became popular, the intention to continue the good momentum in the new year, but after this matter was officially confirmed and the news spread within the company, it still caused some criticism- So many lead singers who should have debuted solo a long time ago can only carry out activities in the form of various squads, a junior, no matter how popular he is, can't just break those potential rules in the company, right?

At the end of last year, the company gave those "meritorious veterans" a suitable arrangement: at the end of last year, . In TheBallad's project, almost all the lead singers of the company's groups that are still in the event, including TVXQ, provided a solo song - although this is not an official solo debut, but in terms of form, it is not far from the solo debut.

After this plan was announced, the criticism and rumors against that guy seemed to disappear, and even Kim Taeyeon, who was in the middle of this project, thought that the topic of this matter could be put to an end - but who would have thought that after more than a month, When that guy was about to stand on the stage of solo debut, the company brought up this thing that had been silent for a long time again, and then forcibly divided the three weeks that the guy should have had for two weeks. TheBallad this project?

So Kim Tae-yeon, who was originally just involved in the recording work, wanted to talk to Kim Jong-hyun, . TheBallad, an artist from the company that planned the project, stood on the stage less than two weeks before the official return of Girls' Generation, which was not planned.

She didn't know if those people would be surprised and happy because of this unexpected solo stage, at this moment, she just thought of the pale, tired-looking, and seemingly dull guy she saw in that small studio that night, and her heart seemed to be split in half - God knows how much she wanted to be by that guy's side, to do her best, to try to share it for him, to bear it with him......

But that guy didn't understand her heart.

He didn't know that what he thought was good for her was making her even more miserable.

Although she was not a person who was good at comforting others and expressing her true emotions, when she saw his heartbreaking look that night, she immediately made up her mind that she would do anything she could do and give him a little comfort, even if it was ......

She tried to make him understand, tried all means, and in the end even became so emotional that she almost convulsed, but the guy just used a smile that could be seen at a glance to squeeze out, insisting on his position and approach, and pushing her far away from the whirlpool around him.

So now she can only lie on the sofa, and she can only see him from the screen of her mobile phone.

It wasn't what she wanted, but she couldn't force him, or rather, she didn't want to force him—at least at this very difficult time for him, and she didn't want to do anything that might make him feel embarrassed.

“…… Big. ”

Just as she wrinkled her nose and stuffed the last bit of chocolate into her mouth, Kim Taeyeon was venting her complicated emotions in a vague and soft voice, but a voice suddenly came out of the headphones hanging in her ear, and her phone screen also changed with her fingers constantly swiping on it.

The change captured her attention almost instantly.

Piano, paired with a little bit of acoustic guitar.

There are no complex chords, no complicated arrangements, no deliberately raised high notes, no showmanship-like intricacies, just soft, slow chanting.

"The many nostalgia faded away like a sunset, and the many regrets that caught me were also lightened.

Hide the endless pain in a smile. Will I be able to meet someone who can replace you in the future?

It's time to forget about you, and I'm trying to forget it all now,

Tired of being tortured by long years, that's why you're hiding, right?

It's time to forget you, I thought that if you were gone, your life would be dim,

Now I'm dulled from all that pain, and I can't feel it anymore.

It seems that it is the end, everything is gone,

You have long decided to take a different path from mine,

Why don't you want to say goodbye to me until now?

It's time to forget about you, and I'm trying to forget it all now,

Exhausted by the long years and tortured, that's why you choose to hide, right?

It's time to forget you, I thought that if you were gone, your life would be dim,

Now those pain ......

Have you found a new future?

I'm also getting far away,

After that, everything in the past will be erased, right?

If you see me still standing here and reluctant to give up,

Recalling the slice of the past that we have experienced together,

Will you bless each other for our happiness?"

Because there were still makeup artists and stylists sitting next to her who were going to accompany her to catch the notice, Zheng Endi, who was half-leaning in the seat of the nanny car, didn't dare to blatantly watch the video with her mobile phone, so she just quietly bought and clicked on the source of the song that had just been posted on the Internet for less than two minutes - after that, she closed her eyes and quietly listened to the gentle voice of the man who matched the piano accompaniment, but she suddenly straightened up after the last bit of sound disappeared from the headphones.

'Time to forget'.

A seemingly "normal" song written for ex-lovers who have broken up.

Why did she faintly feel a different emotion in that guy's voice?

Is it because she was infected by that sad and helpless feeling, or is it because she is too sensitive?

Do you want to find a time to make a phone call, pretend to congratulate him on his solo debut, and then ......

"Grace, here we are. ”

Just as Zheng Endi was in a daze, the nanny car she was riding in stopped running.
