"Bitter?" Kang Yeon-kyung took a sip of the coffee Kim Taeyeon brought back, frowning and glaring at Kim Taeyeon with a pale face in front of him. "Buy me a new cup of sweetness."

"No, it's snowing outside now, it's cold, it's going to catch a cold." Hwang Mi-young, who is not proficient in Korean, stood in front of Kim Taeyeon, and did not dare to look at Kang Yeon-kyung weakly.

"Can't do it? Huang Meiying, don't think that if you are from the United States, you can not follow the rules of South Korea, sue you, this is not the United States where you grew up, there is no freedom! Jiang Yanjing stood up, stretched out her hand and scraped Huang Meiying's face fiercely.

"Smack!"

A slap resounded throughout the practice room, and the trainees who were originally whispering were instantly silent, looking at the little figure in astonishment.

"I'm sorry senior, Pani still doesn't understand the rules here, I'm going to buy new coffee to make amends for you." Kim Taeyeon lowered her head and calmly bowed to Kang Yeon-kyung to apologize, without any fluctuating tone, she couldn't let people know her feelings.

Kang Yeon-kyung clasped her hands and looked at Kim Tae-yeon, who had been bowing and apologizing, and Hwang Mi-young, who was still fighting against her, disdainfully, "It's good to know, it's best to teach your friends, don't follow an uneducated wild child." ”

"Please apologize to Pani." As soon as Jiang Yanjing's words were finished, Kim Taeyeon glared at Jiang Yanjing fiercely as soon as she received the anger pack, and the momentum in her memory exploded instantly, faintly putting pressure on the people around her. Wild child, maybe Hwang Mi-young can't understand, but it doesn't mean that Kim Taeyeon can't understand, she can tolerate others scolding her, beating her and laughing at her, but she must not bear any harm to the people around her.

"You...... What do you want to do, I'm a senior! Kang Yeon-kyung, who was frightened by Kim Taeyeon's momentum, suddenly restrained her original arrogance. At this time, Kim Taeyeon gave her the feeling of being indescribably scared as if she was facing the head of the company's trainee management office.

"Please apologize to the seniors." Kim Taeyeon didn't back down and still stared at Kang Yeon-kyung.

"If you ask me to apologize, I'll apologize? Wouldn't I be very shameless? Jiang Yanjing took a step back, she didn't expect this junior with a baby face to become so tough.

"Seniors, please......"

"Taeyeon... Never mind. Hwang Mi-young behind her grabbed Kim Taeyeon's clothes, although she couldn't understand what Kang Yeon-kyung said to make Kim Taeyeon angry, but she could still know from Kim Tae-yeon's words that she was angry for her. Since coming to South Korea, this is the first time that someone has been angry with her, and it is also the first time that someone has protected her, because when she first came, Zheng Xiuyan took her, and no one embarrassed her.

"But ......"

"It's okay, Taeyeon." Huang Meiying smiled and shook her head unconcernedly. Kim Taeyeon's repeated reminders let her know that the relationship between seniors and seniors in South Korea is strict, and she doesn't want Kim Taeyeon to be persuaded to quit by the company because of her confrontation with her seniors, it's not worth it. And afterwards, she took Jiang Yanjing's words to ask Zheng Xiuyan, and when Zheng Xiuyan avoided her eyes and told her the meaning of this sentence, the originally good mood suddenly gloomy, but soon she laughed again, hugged Zheng Xiuyan, and turned around after leaving a 'thank you', leaving only Zheng Xiuyan, who didn't know why, stood in place in a daze with an inexplicable face.

Looking at Huang Meiying, who was pulling herself and smiling like sunshine, she knew that Huang Meiying didn't know the meaning of Jiang Yanjing's words, and she didn't want her to know. Kim Taeyeon took a deep breath and nodded helplessly, "I see." ”

"I'm sorry senior, I'll buy it again." After speaking, without waiting for Jiang Yanjing's reaction, he pulled Huang Meiying out of the practice room, rather than letting Huang Meiying stay here in embarrassment, it was better to take it out together.

Kim Tae-yeon, who left the practice room, didn't see Kang Yeon-kyung sitting on the ground and the others who were relieved.

“Just－why－stop－me？ (Why stop me)"

"Taeyeon and Jessi said that in Korea, juniors can't just bump into seniors, isn't Taeyeon often emphasized."

"I forgot." Anger will burn away reason, and perhaps we need to strengthen our self-control.

"Taeyeon, thank you."

"Thanks for what?" Kim Taeyeon stopped and tilted her head to look at Hwang Mi-young who was pulling her clothes for some reason. Really, how can one or two grow so tall.

"Thank you for that slap in the face." Although Hwang Mi-young is a little taller than Kim Tae-yeon, when Kang Yeon-kyung scrapes it off, Kim Tae-yeon pulls her back and sends her face to Kang Yeon-kyung's hands.

"It's okay, after all, you're going to fight against them because of me." In the white snow, that smile is so bright, but the small body gives Huang Meiying an indescribable sense of security.

"Again, thank you Taeyeon."

"Forget it, go buy it quickly, you should really catch a cold if you stay outside for a while."

"Yes."

Two figures a few centimeters apart, holding hands, looming in the snow......

After buying coffee, the two of them hurriedly ran back with their bags, and they didn't know why it was snowing so heavily all of a sudden.

"Whew~ I'm finally back." Kim Taeyeon shook the snow off her body, and without an umbrella or hat, her hair and shoulders were covered with snow.

"Hehe, Taeyeon looks like a puppy." Hwang Mi-young, who patted the snow on her shoulder, looked at Kim Taeyeon shaking her head and happily hung up her signature smile.

"You're like a puppy." Kim Taeyeon glared at the grinning Hwang Mi-young fiercely, and Kim Taeyeon, who had no momentum, had a small baby face, no matter how she looked at it, she was so happy.

"I'm not like a puppy." Huang Meiying pouted dissatisfiedly.

"Even if it is, it's a cute pink puppy." After speaking, he held his face and fantasized with happiness.

Powder...... Pink ...... Puppy...... How can any dog be pink, mutated? The girl pulled the corners of her mouth speechlessly, and in just a few days, she realized Huang Meiying's fascination with pink.

"Taeyeon?"

"Huh? Teacher? Kim Tae-yeon, who was walking in the aisle, suddenly heard someone shouting her name, and when she looked up, she found Jung Soon-won standing not far from her.

"Didn't Taeyeon buy coffee just now, why did you buy it again?" Jung Chun-won frowned and looked at the bag in Kim Taeyeon's hand, as early as half an hour ago, he saw Kim Taeyeon walking into the back with the bag near the company, because there was just something, he didn't go directly to Kim Tae-yeon, and when he came back from his work, he saw Kim Taeyeon carrying the bag again, and there was still some snow on his body that hadn't been shaken off, Jung Chun-won could guess that it was a good thing done by those seniors who specifically bullied the juniors.

"Ah, because it's so delicious, I went to buy some more." Kim Tae-yeon smiled and shook the bag in her hand.

"Don't pretend, the teacher knows that these are not bought for you to drink for yourself, don't act if you haven't learned acting, it's all written on your face." Zheng Chunyuan rolled his eyes angrily, his student, if he didn't understand, this teacher would be in vain.

"Yaxi, my students dare to bully too, I'm really impatient."

"Teacher, please don't interfere in this matter."

"Why?" Jung Chun-won may be able to guess why.

"Because I want to use my strength to make them have nothing to say." Although the tone was flat, everyone could hear the firmness in the words.

"Okay, the teacher doesn't care." The lion has to be injured to become a leader. "But wouldn't it be too much?"

"I can't help it." Kim Taeyeon smiled bitterly, it's not that she wants to show that Xiàn is too good, but that she has to show Xiàn too good, just like just now, if they don't be tough, they will only be further troubled, people grow up in adversity, either against the current, or are downstream, forbearance does not mean fear, limelight does not mean publicity.

"Also, people are good at being bullied, by the way, Taeyeon, come to me after the practice, the second room on the left side of the fourth floor, then I'll go first, goodbye." With that, he turned around and walked towards the staircase.

"Inside, I know, goodbye, teacher." Kim Taeyeon bowed to Jung Soon-won's back.

"Taeyeon, who is he?" Hwang Mi-young, who had been silent for a long time, pulled Kim Tae-yeon's clothes, and her brain couldn't keep up with the rhythm because of the speed of speech, and she listened to the conversation between the two in a daze.

"The teacher who taught me to sing, a good teacher."

"Oh."

After going back, Kim Taeyeon and Hwang Mi-young were not harassed again, perhaps because they were shocked by the momentum brought to them by Kim Taeyeon at that time, and their behavior was restrained a lot, and Kim Taeyeon and Hwang Mi-young rarely had a practice without interruption.

After the practice time, Kim Taeyeon followed Jung Soon-won's words and went to the fourth floor and knocked on the door of the second room on the left.

"Knock knock."

"Come in."

After getting the consent of the people inside, Kim Taeyeon pushed the door open, and there was her teacher alone, a man about the same age as Jung Soon-won, and a familiar figure.

"Hello teachers, good Jessica." Bow to the people inside and say hello.

"Oh, Taeyeon is here, come here, the teacher will introduce you." Zheng Chunyuan beckoned to Kim Taeyeon and pointed to the man next to him: "This is Teacher Kim Chaohan, and it is also your future vocal instructor." ”

"Hello Mr. Jin Chaohan."

"Hello." Kim Chaohan, who was sitting in the chair, smiled and nodded, he still remembered the surprise Kim Taeyeon gave him in August, when he happened to be the primary judge of Kim Taeyeon's group, and the song "Spark" by BOA was as fresh as he remembered. When Jung Soon-won asked him to be Kim Taeyeon's instructor, he agreed without hesitation, who doesn't like a strong student, even if he already has a student who is no worse than Kim Taeyeon.

"Because the teacher is busy, he doesn't have much time to guide you, so I will trouble Teacher Jin Chaohan to take you."

"You mean I'm idle?"

"You can think so."

"Want to fight?"

"I'll be afraid of you?"

Looking at the two teachers who were provoking each other as if no one was around, Kim Taeyeon, who was standing opposite them, touched his nose with a wry smile. Did you even notice that there were other people here? They're human too......

raised his head, but met Zheng Xiuyan's eyes, and his clean eyes couldn't hide his master's thoughts.

[I won't lose to you.] 】
