Chapter 42: The Heavy Mask

As a certain big boy surnamed Jin ended up being beaten up by a little girl with the same surname Jin, this joke about growing taller by covering the quilt sideways was spread within S|M. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

During that time, basically many people who were familiar with Kim Taeyeon couldn't help but think of what they had heard from others when they saw Kim Taeyeon's height that would never grow up again.

Of course, people with good self-control will not choose to mention this matter in front of Kim Taeyeon, but some people who are not very good at self-control, and those who are cheap-mouthed will choose to bring it up again when they see Kim Taeyeon.

And the representative of this kind of cheap mouth and death, the one who should be the one who has a pair of long legs that make Kim Taeyeon envious, jealous and hateful, but has a figure like a flat plate.

"Hello! I want to grow taller!" Kim Taeyeon's eyes hadn't fully opened before she had come to the office early in the morning, when a voice came from the top of her head that made her instantly sober up and full of anger.

"Choi so-young, do you want to die?" gritting her silver teeth, Kim Tae-yeon turned around and stared at Choi so-young who was laughing at her just now, her little fists were already clenched tightly, and she was ready, as long as Choi so-young dared to say another word about her height, then she would ...... Let Cui Xiuying never have the face to see people again!

It seemed that seeing the angry expression on Kim Taeyeon's face and the already clenched fists, Choi so-young felt a hint of danger and hurriedly changed her words: "How can I want to die if I haven't lived enough?"

"And what do you mean by that?"

"I mean ......" Speaking of this, Cui Xiuying couldn't make it up anymore, and quietly moved a few steps, "I mean it's impossible for you to grow taller in your life!"

"If I don't eat you today, I won't be surnamed Kim!" After Choi so-young said that sentence and ran away, Kim Taeyeon chased after her, shouting menacingly, and her voice almost made the entire floor hear her words of not giving up if she didn't achieve her goal.

Chasing from the first floor to the second floor, and then escaping from the second floor to the first floor, the chase between the two long and short bodies never stopped.

In the end, Choi so-young bumped into Han Geng, who was walking, while turning, ending the chase that had lasted for three minutes.

"Hahaha! Cui Xiuying! You were finally caught by me, right?" When Cui Xiuying bumped into Han Geng and fell to the ground due to the effect of the rebound force, Kim Taeyeon, who was chasing behind Cui Xiuying, finally caught up, grabbed Cui Xiuying's back collar, and looked up to the sky to let out a heroic aunt smile, with an expression like the arrival of a demon king on his face.

"Dead dwarf, let go of me! If you hadn't bumped into Han Geng's oppa here, you would never have caught me!" Choi so-young struggled to pull the little fat hand behind her who was clutching her collar, and wailed hoarsely, because she was about to be strangled by Kim Tae-yeon's collar.

"Don't make a fuss, I just want to find you. Han Geng looked at these two, one long and one short, the short one was grabbing the long one in an extremely incongruous reversal, only to feel a few black lines on his head, and stopped them speechlessly.

"Han Geng oppa, do you have anything to do with us? What are you shaking about?" After achieving his goal, Kim Taeyeon heard Han Geng's words, stopped the harsh aunt and asked him with a smile, and saw Jin Hee-cheol, who was behind Han Geng, shaking his shoulders and asking strangely.

"Nothing, nothing, you go on, I just happened to be passing by here. Jin Xiche tried hard to control himself from laughing, for fear that he would be beaten up again by this little devil later.

"Hey, when would I like to listen?" Kim Tae-yeon glanced at Kim Hee-cheol and turned her gaze back to Han Geng.

Han Geng coughed dryly, "That's right, because our debut song was written by you Taeyeon, and we're going to be on stage tonight, so we want to invite you...... Come to SBS and see us perform. ”

"Oh, we'll be there in the evening. Han Geng oppa Xi Che oppa, I still have something to do, I want to catch this giraffe running around and stew it in soup, you work hard at night. ”

Ignoring Choi so-young's struggles, Kim Taeyeon grabbed her by the back collar and dragged her all the way back to her practice room, and many people could hear the heart-rending roar of a certain long leg along the way.

――――――――――――――――――

"Geng...... Why don't we give up?"

"How could I give up? After so many years of hard work, I finally made my debut, but suddenly I was told that I couldn't continue to perform, and I couldn't stay in Korea anymore...... This means that all my years of hard work have been in vain, and how can I give up? How can I be willing?"

Han Geng sat weakly on the flower bed, his face was full of exhaustion, his expression became very painful, and a feeling of helplessness rose from the bottom of his heart and quietly occupied his heart.

"Forget it, don't worry about it yet...... The company didn't know that South Korea had such regulations, and now they will definitely find a way to solve it, after all, you are an artist that the company has cultivated for so long before debuting, and it is impossible to let you go. The agent stood in front of Han Geng, saying words that he didn't even believe in himself to comfort Han Geng, it was the first time he knew about this kind of thing, and he didn't expect Han Geng's star journey at the beginning to be so bumpy.

…………

When Superjunior officially debuted, the cheers of fans and the admiration of fans made these twelve boy groups with different characteristics become the most popular group for a period of time.

However, just as SuperJunior gloriously received the flowers, applause, and glow sticks from the fans, a bad news shattered the honor that should have been enjoyed.

Because of nationality issues, there are many restrictions on the performing arts activities that foreigners can debut and participate in in Korea, and no matter who they are, they can only sign contracts with 3 places. When Han Geng first debuted as a member of Supersunior, he was the first artist among S|M to debut as an overseas trainee, and even S|M didn't know what restrictions South Korea had on the acting activities of overseas artists. He signed with S|M, which means that he can only sign with two other places, and beyond this range, Han Geng will not be able to appear in front of the camera.

And when the company didn't know that there was such a rule, and Han Geng didn't know it, he inadvertently violated this rule, and a heavy notice followed, either to terminate the contract and leave South Korea and return to his own country, or he could only perform on the other two TV stations that had signed contracts except for the economic company.

But SuperJunior has just debuted not long ago, and it is when he needs to rely on singing and other performing arts activities to gain popularity, how could Han Geng choose to leave the company and leave the group? Because once he leaves, the dance formation has to be rehearsed, which is a very big problem for both SuperJunior and the agency.

Superjunior is a newcomer group, and it does not have the ability to play freely on the spot like the predecessors of previous years, and it is impossible to rely on this group of children who have not fully adapted to the entertainment industry.

But even if they choose to stay in Korea and stay in the group, they can only perform on SBS and MBC, and once they go to other TV stations, it will be the same as the result of leaving the group, and there is no way for the other eleven members to adapt to this change in a short period of time.

Han Geng, who was in pain in his heart, didn't know what to do at all, holding his head helplessly, and just sat on the flower bed in a daze.

"Huh, Han Geng, why are you here?"

A surprised voice sounded beside him, and Han Geng let go of his hand and looked up to see Kim Taeyeon standing in front of him with a bag full of snacks.

"It's Taeyeon. I'm fine, I'm just blowing the wind here......" Han Geng casually found a clumsy excuse and said to Taeyeon, not wanting Taeyeon to see something.

It's just that at this time, all of Han Geng's thoughts were engraved on his face, and anyone could see it.

Han Geng oppa...... Do you have something on your mind?"

"Why are you ......" Knowing that the two words hadn't been spoken, Han Geng stopped again, "It's okay, I just feel a little stuffy and breathable." ”

"Don't lie to people, oppa...... I'm not a three-year-old child, how can I not see that you have something on your mind?" With that kind of expression, Kim Taeyeon knew at a glance that something must have happened to Han Geng, but he didn't want to tell her, so Han Geng wanted to stop talking.

“……”

"Oppa, tell me, even if I can't solve it for you, you can use me as a trash can to dump garbage at me and spit out bitter water. Kim Taeyeon squatted in front of Han Geng, looking at his sad expression, and couldn't help but comfort Han Geng.

"Forget it, it's okay to tell her, let you vent your grievances. ”

“……”

After listening to Han Geng's narration, Kim Tae-yeon didn't know what to say.

After all, she is a native of Korea, and even if she debuts in the future, there will definitely be no situation like Han Geng's now.

"Then now OPPA, can you only perform on SBS and MBC, and you can't go to other TV stations?"

"That's right...... So I'm annoyed right now and don't know what to do. ”

……

"Forget it, you don't understand this, just take it as if OPPA owes you a favor, take you out of the trash as a trash can, and OPPA will return it to you in the future, go back quickly, see you bought so much food, it must be Tiffany who wants to eat to let you buy it, right? ”

Han Geng also knew that Kim Taeyeon could not have the same relationship as the company, and after spitting out bitterness to Taeyeon a little, he was worried that she would catch a cold if she stayed outside for too long, so he urged her to go back to the dormitory quickly.

――――――――――――――

"Geng...... Have you really thought about it?" Jin Xiche stood in front of Han Geng, his expression was very heavy, looking at the things Han Geng was holding in his hand, he couldn't help but ask him again.

"I've got it figured...... If I leave, the formation will have to be rehearsed, and now it's too late for time, so ...... I'll have to try it out according to what Taeyeon said, and if no one comes to inform me after tonight, then Taeyeon's method does work, so ...... I'm willing to give it a try. Han Geng played with the thing in his hand and put it on the sofa next to him, revealing a wry smile.

"But you can't be like this for the rest of your life, right? You just listen to Taeyeon's ideas for you? She's just a trainee herself!" Kim Hee-cheol's emotions were a little out of control, he couldn't have imagined that Taeyeon would give Han Geng such an idea, "Taeyeon, you have something to say! Why did you give Geng such an idea? This is harming him, do you know?"

"Hee-cheol oppa......" Taeyeon was also helpless, she was just whimsical, but she didn't expect Han Geng to really try according to what she said.

"It doesn't matter to Taeyeon, she just said that if I don't let people see my face, will this be a solution to my inability to perform on stage? I thought about it later, but they just said that I couldn't participate in activities on TV stations other than SBS and MBC, but they didn't say that I couldn't participate in the show by covering my face so that others wouldn't recognize me, so ...... I think I can try, and the worst outcome is still the same as being deported?"

"But ......"

"If I leave, then the dance songs will have to be rehearsed and redistributed, and if I stay, I can only go to SBS and MBC, and nowhere else, what difference does it make with me leaving?"

“…… Now I can only give it a try. Jin Xiche sighed helplessly, for Han Geng's persistence, he only hoped that everything could really develop as Han Geng expected.

"Taeyeon...... Thank you. Glancing at Taeyeon standing next to Kim Hee-cheol, Han Geng hesitated for a moment and said thank you in Chinese.

“……”

"Superjunior is ready to take the stage! Three minutes!" came the sound of the staff knocking on the door to announce it, which made the atmosphere in the entire waiting room even more depressing.

Jin Xicheol looked at the silver and black mask on the sofa, and only saw that through the light, a trace of light flashed on the mask that was not dazzling.

Slowly picking up the mask, Han Geng silently closed his eyes, put the mask on his face, and pulled the rubber band behind his head with his left hand.

No one noticed that the moment Han Geng closed his eyes and put on the mask, a tear fell from the corner of his eye.

That is the tears that represent unwillingness, the tears shed by Han Geng who has endured so many years in South Korea, and finally survived until he made his debut, but was treated unequally;

Slowly put the mask on his face, through his sliding Adam's apple, anyone can see how uncomfortable Han Geng's heart is now, it's just that the man doesn't flick when he has tears, he can't cry in front of so many people, he can only silently shed a tear behind the mask that can't be wiped away.

Han Geng oppa...... Huai Ting!" Kim Tae-yeon gently said to Han Geng after Han Geng put on the mask.

"Thank you Taeyeon. Behind the mask, the voice was already slightly stalked, which made Kim Hee-cheol even more uncomfortable.

"SuperJunior Ready for Stage!

"Let's go, Heeche, it's almost us. The voice, which had become somewhat muffled through the mask, urged Kim Hee-cheol and the other members to prepare for the stage.

After they left the waiting room, Kim Taeyeon was stunned for a long time before she said slowly: "I'm sorry Han Geng oppa......"
