Chapter 5: Returning Home
In the next few days of the competition, Kim Taeyeon was very smooth to advance, and in the final, Kim Taeyeon sang BOA's "My-Prayer". In this song, Kim Taeyeon's feelings are further integrated into the song, although she is still not as perfect as her in the future, but it is enough for those present to imagine the contradiction between the characters in the song who want to love but dare not love and the sadness when praying for their lover.
"Now I announce that the winner of the 8th S.M Youth Selection Contest and the winner of the Grand Award is ......" After the finals, after half a day of discussion among the judges, Lee so-man, the big BOOS of S.M, announced the winner of the Grand Prix himself.
"Kim Tae-yeon Xi from Jeonju, North Jeolla Province."
"Bang Bang Bang"
Li Xiuman and the judges took the lead in applauding, followed by all the staff and contestants, as well as the onlookers present.
Kim Taeyeon walked up to the stage unhurriedly amid applause, bowed skillfully to the judges and staff on the stage, and then bowed to everyone in the audience at a standard 90 degrees.
Kim Taeyeon's expression Xiàn in the eyes of Lee so-man and others to her appreciation has reached a new level, not arrogant, polite, and moderate, such a person standing on the stage is very popular with adults, although the objects faced by their company are mainly ten or twenty generations, but they will not give up the people of the thirties and forties.
Kim Taeyeon took the certificate, took the microphone handed by the staff, and thanked the audience as usual: " Thank you S.M for holding this competition, giving me the opportunity to stand on this stage, thank you to all the judges and staff, you have worked hard, and thank you to my teachers for their guidance to improve my singing skills, and thank my family for their support to me, without your encouragement I may not have the courage to stand here, but also thank you to all the contestants, without you competing on the same stage with me, maybe it would not have inspired my competitiveness, thank you. ”
There was applause again on and off the stage, and everyone had a smile on their faces. Kim Taeyeon smiled slightly and continued to everyone: "I hope that all the eliminated friends can continue their dreams, the children who chase their dreams will not give up their dreams because of a failure and setback, everyone is stubborn, get up when they fall and then continue to run, I have also hesitated, I have been lonely, but I have not given up on my dreams, because I like to sing, as long as I can still sing, I will continue to sing until I am old, smile at myself when I am tired, and then continue to work hard for my dreams, and sweat for it, Believe in yourself and believe that our tomorrow will be better, we are all the same. That's all for my words, thank you all for listening to me. ”
The applause rang out again, this time louder than the previous two, and these applause mainly came from the contestants, Kim Taeyeon's words they felt the most, because they just chased their dreams and worked hard, and stubborn people, they lost unjustly.
However, the judges on the stage have another idea, their company has another trainee with strength and hard work, as long as the training is done properly, the future will definitely not be ordinary.
After the show, Kim Taeyeon gets a trainee contract from S.M, and as long as she signs this contract, she will be part of the S.M trainee army. Daddy Kim carefully looked at the content of the trainee contract, and the content in it was no different from what Daddy Kim expected, they were all so blood-sucking, but as the focus of attention, Kim Taeyeon could also get the excellent trainee benefits of S.M points every month. Because he had to go back to Jeonju to go through the formalities, S.M agreed to Daddy Kim's request to postpone Kim Tae-yeon's entry into the company, but not more than the end of the year, which was the deadline, and Daddy Kim agreed.
After leaving S.M, Kim Tae-yeon's childish heart burst out all at once, jumping around Kim's father, showing off the first award certificate to him.
"Aba, look at it, first yes, first yes!"
Kim Taeyeon's excited appearance made Daddy Kim a little unbearable, a child is always a child, no matter how mature she is in front of outsiders, she will always be a child in front of her family, even if Kim Taeyeon has memories of the future, she is still a child.
"Yes, yes, our daedae is the best." Daddy Kim followed Kim Taeyeon's head and tried to make her stop jumping around, knowing that this is on the road, and it is easy to get into trouble. "Okay, let's clean up tonight, go back to Jeonju early tomorrow morning, and make your oma, oppa, and sister happy together."
"Well, let's go back quickly." Kim Taeyeon nodded, took Daddy Kim's hand and hurriedly ran forward.
The stage is always the best place to realize your dreams; Applause is always the best reward you pay for your dreams, because you have not wasted your efforts and sweat......
On the highway from Seoul to Jeonju, a black Hyundai sedan sped away, and Kim Tae-yeon in the car stared stupidly at the rapidly receding trees on both sides of the road outside the car.
After saying goodbye to Jung Chun-won last night, before leaving, Jung Chun-won mysteriously said to Kim Tae-yeon that he wanted to give her a gift as the first reward in this competition, but no matter how coquettish Kim Tae-yeon was and how he begged, Jung Chun-won just didn't tell her what kind of gift she was, just asked her to wait for him in Jeonju. Kim Taeyeon, who knew that she had no hope of getting a clear answer, shook her fist at Jung Chun-won through gritted teeth, and told Jung Chun-won very clearly that if she was not satisfied with this gift, it would definitely make a mess of his studio, and Jung Soon-won, who knew Kim Tae-yeon, was completely immune to Kim Tae-yeon's threat and promised that she would definitely like this gift.
One night later, Kim's father packed his luggage early in the morning, carried Kim Taeyeon, who was still sleeping, into the car, and drove back to Jeonju.
A few hours of driving made Kim Taeyeon lie bored in the back seat as a sleeping caterpillar, except for the head that turned from time to time, the motionless appearance of other parts made Kim Dad shake his head very helplessly, that is how boring it must be to play with the corpse. To be honest, Dad Kim, who drives, is also quite boring, because both of them are the kind who don't like to talk much, and no one will speak out when there is no topic, and they will talk a lot of nonsense whenever they are interested.
A few hours, not long, not short, just when Kim Taeyeon was about to become a mollusk, the car finally arrived home, Kim Taeyeon's home is no different from a traditional Korean house, it is a house with a small yard.
"Oma, I'm back~!" As soon as the car stopped, Kim Taeyeon couldn't wait to jump out of the car and threw herself into the arms of Kim's mother, who was standing at the door and waiting, rubbing her little head.
"You kid, you're still so rough, how can you marry in the future." Mother Kim patted Kim Taeyeon's little head and shook her head helplessly, except in front of outsiders, her children will always be the main thing to worry about. "By the way, Daedae, how are you doing in Seoul?" Remembering the phone call from Kim's father on the day Kim Tae-yeon first arrived in Seoul, Kim's mother could no longer hide the worry in her heart.
"Don't worry, Oma, I'm fine, you see I'm still healthy." Kim Tae-yeon, who didn't want Kim's mother to worry, left Kim's mother's arms and patted her already small chest to show that she was fine, and by the way, she showed off her arms that had no muscles and only fat. "And I don't want to get married, I want to be with ABA and Oma forever." After speaking, he continued to bury his head in Kim's mother's arms.
"Okay, if you don't marry, you won't marry." Kim's mother patted Kim Taeyeon's head perfunctorily, how can anyone be with their parents for the rest of their lives, they must be independent after all when they grow up, and an eagle who doesn't know how to fly independently will never be an eagle.
"Okay, don't stand at the door and bask in the sun, let's go inside." After parking the car and taking off the luggage, Dad Jin couldn't help but interrupt the love show of the mother and daughter.
"Inside." Kim Taeyeon, who heard Daddy Kim's words, left the arms of Mom Kim, grabbed the suitcase in Daddy Kim's hand and said, "Aba, I'll take the box." ”
"Hehe, it's good for ABA to come." Daddy Kim smiled and rejected Kim Tae-yeon's idea.
"No, you can't let Aba get tired." Kim Taeyeon stubbornly took the suitcase and walked towards the house with it. Because of the orphan life in the memory of Long Dance, Kim Taeyeon cherishes the life with her family even more, this morning she let Daddy Kim carry all the luggage alone because she slept too soundly, and she felt guilty about leaving the hotel on her back, she was immature and let her family work for her again and again, she didn't want them to work anymore, from now on she had to do what she could do and bear what she could bear.
Father Kim and Mother Kim looked at Kim Taeyeon who was struggling to carry the suitcase and shook her head helplessly, but the relief on their faces was very obvious. No matter which parent you are, you will be happy when you see your children grow up and know how to share things for them.
"What about Oma, Oppa, and Xia Yan?" After going around the house, Kim Taeyeon, who didn't find the mischievous alliance at home, asked Kim's mother, who was preparing Kim's father and Kim Taeyeon's lunch in the kitchen. (It's past lunch time)
"You oppa went to play with his classmates, I asked him to take Xia Yan with him by the way, saving him from running around at home, and it was annoying to listen." Mother Kim answered Kim Taeyeon's question without looking back, and the little one who listened to it was full of black lines.
Oma, how much do you dislike us, and let oppa take Xia Yan, are you sure you can rest assured that oppa won't throw Xia Yan aside and run away to play by herself?
"Oma, I'll help you." The memory of Dragon Dance is very good at cooking, comparable to the chef of a big hotel, which makes Kim Taeyeon want to do it herself, because there is no one in her group who can make delicious food in her memory, and there is even the storage of the 'kitchen killer', in order not to starve to death in the future, Kim Taeyeon knows that she must prepare in advance.
"Go, go, flash, you don't know yet, at most, it's not dinner time, it's just cooking ramen, it's almost ready, I don't need you at all, while playing." Mother Kim was disgusted and drove Kim Taeyeon out of the kitchen, and the rag in her hand was not idle for a moment, waving at Kim Taeyeon.
Kim Tae-yeon, who was kicked out of the kitchen by Kim's mother, came to the living room and asked Kim's father, who was watching TV on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, with a bitter face: "Aba, did you pick me up, why does OMA dislike me so much......"
Dad Kim glanced at Kim Taeyeon, continued to watch the TV intently, and said lightly: "No, you were sent by us to charge the phone bill, and it was your oppa, you just sent it, because the clerk said that you were too young to take care of it, so you sent it to us." ”
"Ah, it's so damnful, where did I send it with a phone bill, or is it incidental, it's better to pick it up!!" Daddy Kim's words made Kim Taeyeon furious, and he flew directly and knocked down Daddy Kim. Where is she so worthless, it's just a link, if you want to send it, you can send her, and her oppa is almost the same!!
"Hahahaha, don't scratch, daedae, ABA is wrong, don't scratch, hahahaha~!" Poor Dad Jin was tickled and tortured by Chief Jin for his unscrupulous words, don't look at him fat and strong, his old man is also afraid of itching.
"You two, don't make trouble, hurry up and eat ramen, save your stomach from starving." Mother Jin, who came out of the kitchen, looked at the big and small ones playing on the sofa, and shook her head helplessly, no matter how old she was, she was still as noisy as a child, and she was not ashamed.
"Inside." As the overlord of the Jin family, Jin's mother has to listen to her words, who let their pocket money be in her hands, although she looks like Daddy Jin is in charge outside, but on the inside...... Wife knows how to be strict.
