Chapter 65: Old Dreams
If you ask Kim Taeyeon who is scolded the most in the world, she may not be able to answer; But if you want to say who is being scolded the most in South Korea now, then she will undoubtedly answer that it is Girls' Generation.
And if you want to ask Kim Taeyeon who was scolded the worst in her girlhood, she may not be able to tell who it is, because everyone is in the middle of the two, but if you want to ask who has faced the most scolding, then she will undoubtedly answer herself.
Because she is now a radio DJ, because she sees the real-time messages of countless radio viewers every day when she broadcasts live, because she is now the only member of Girls' Generation who has a regular schedule.
2008 was undoubtedly a year of change for Kim Taeyeon, who had just turned 20, with joy and helplessness, but more pressure and pain.
At the beginning of the year, her first OST was an uncontrollable hit upon its release, and she was very happy to occupy the top spot on various charts for a long time.
The long-term busy activities made her have no time to take care of her studies, and she was not good at this, so after graduating from high school, she chose to give up the college entrance examination in South Korea, a society that attaches great importance to academic qualifications, and was criticized by countless people, and she felt helpless.
But since the debut of Girls' Generation last year, it has not been smooth, bumping into the monster of wondergirls, the national group, they can be said to be struggling step by step, and the anxious S.M company has no choice but to use the scandal ** to promote the hype, and strive to improve the topic of Girls' Generation, SJ, TVXQ... The more popular the members, the more hype there is, and the more intense Cheng dΓΉ is added.
Finally, when this negative image of qiΔ accumulated to a certain extent, it completely exploded in an instant, and the dream concert in June, a dead silence in the audience, a sea of black, and all the boycotts, made their future full of darkness, and it seemed that they were on the end of the road, and she felt endless pressure and pain.
As the only Kim Taeyeon who has a personal itinerary other than Lim Yoona, she shoulders the heavy responsibility of promoting the group, because as long as she appears in front of the camera, it means that the name Girls' Generation will appear in the show, because she is the captain of Girls' Generation, she has no responsibility, she must do this, only in this way, Girls' Generation can continue to go on, even if she is infamous all over the world, even if she rushes to the forefront, even if she is shot countless times, even if she is full of devastation, she can only go on like this.
One day at the end of August, Kim Tae-yeon, who had just finished broadcasting a radio program, took off her headphones with a tired face, stood up, and began to respectfully bend down to thank the program staff.
Qiang Ren, a member of SJ who hosted the radio station with him, looked at this artist from the same company who was not tall, but he was extremely tough in his heart, and remembered the constantly scrolling offensive remarks on the message board just now, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and opened his mouth to comfort: "Taeyeon, don't you take those just now too seriously, you look at me, don't you often be scolded, the more anti proves that the more popular you are, you have to think better, the more you care about these, the more proud those people are." β
"Thank you oppa, I see, you have worked hard today."
Kim Taeyeon barely pulled a smile and politely bowed slightly to Jang-in and thanked him.
"You, you don't have to do this to me."
Qiangren seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the other party's behavior, and replied awkwardly.
"That's as it should be, we were just criticized for being rude some time ago, and I can't make any more mistakes."
Qiangren looked at her cautious words and deeds and tired look on her face, and shook his head helplessly.
"It's almost enough, you won't be able to stand it if you keep going like this, you have to learn to relax, I still have a trip and I'll go first."
"Well, goodbye oppa."
After Kim Taeyeon waved goodbye to the other party, her eyes became slightly hollow, she smiled bitterly, and muttered, "Now is not the time for me to relax..."
She dragged her tired body and walked out weakly, looking left and right but didn't see where her agent was, touching her body as if she wanted to find her mobile phone, but only then did she remember that because of the severe form during this time, the company had confiscated their mobile phones and strictly controlled their communications.
She sighed deeply, and suddenly she missed someone... The two hadn't been in touch for months, she was busy with her travels, her communications were being curtailed, he was busy with the Olympics, and he was also training behind closed doors.
In the past, when she was in a bad mood or distressed, she could still find each other to complain and express her boredom when she had few friends, but now she is under pressure and physically and mentally exhausted, but she has nowhere to rely on.
Seeing her teammates stay in the dormitory or go home directly with sad faces, she really can't dump those negative garbage on them anymore as she still has an activity schedule, not to mention that she can't do that as a captain.
A depressed Kim Taeyeon sat on a bench in the corridor of the TV station and waited.
Physically and mentally exhausted, her eyelids began to fight uncontrollably, her head went up and down little by little, the full air conditioning in the building made her feel slightly cool, her hands and arms kept rubbing up and down, and she finally fell asleep with her head crooked and completely sleepy.
β¦β¦
Kim Tae-yeon felt as if she was in a snowy field, and when she looked down, she found herself standing on the surface of a frozen lake, the thick layer of ice that looked very thick.
At this time, a cold wind suddenly blew, which made her subconsciously shiver, the pores of her whole body were closed, and she got up with goosebumps.
She looked around, but all she saw was white, and all of them were obscured by the wind and snow. The temperature was getting colder and colder, and gradually the wind and snow were getting stronger, blowing straight on her face, hitting her painfully.
She narrowed her eyes, hugged herself tightly with her arms, and walked aimlessly forward. However, as soon as she moved, the ice clicked, and countless cracks radiated under her feet.
She was startled and moved cautiously. But no matter how careful she was, the crack became bigger and bigger.
As the rift became more and more apparent, she began to panic, she seemed to give up thinking, and suddenly took a step and ran forward desperately, as if in this way she could escape the fate of falling.
However, the end seemed to be predestined, and with an obvious crisp sound, the ice surface instantly cracked, and she didn't have time to exclaim before she plunged into the icy lake.
A biting cold suddenly enveloped her whole body, and she felt that it was getting harder and harder to breathe, and her body was getting colder and colder, and she kept sinking.
She tried her best to wave her arms upward, but it was all in vain, she felt her body gradually weak, her arms softened, and she seemed to give up struggling and resisting.
Suddenly, she felt surrounded by a warmth, her cold body gradually warmed up, and her breathing became relaxed, making her feel relaxed and comfortable for a long time. She tried her best to open her eyes and see what was going on, but she couldn't.
She felt as if she had turned into a fetus and returned to her mother's body, so warm, so warm, so comfortable...
Suddenly, she felt a violent shaking, and suddenly the world spun around
"Taeyeon? Taeyeon? You wake up. β
Kim Taeyeon rubbed her eyes and saw the face of her agent appear in front of her.
βoppaοΌ What's wrong? β
"Why are you asleep here? Beware of colds! β
After the agent admonished, he suddenly frowned and looked at Kim Tae-yeon and said, "Where did you get the clothes on your body?" I haven't seen you wear it before, and... It's a man's clothes, right? β
"Huh?"
At this time, Kim Tae-yeon, who only noticed it, was surprised to find that she was wearing a wide blue and white sports coat at some point.
This is...
This seems to be the sportswear of the Olympic national representative...
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she confirmed it suspiciously.
Could it be
"Which staff member lent this to you? Hurry up and give it back to someone. β
After hearing the agent's words, Kim Taeyeon smiled slightly and shook her head and said, "OPPA, don't worry, I know who this is, isn't there an itinerary for a while, let's go quickly." β
"Really? Are you sure? β
"Inside, that's right."
The agent looked strangely at Kim Taeyeon walking ahead, as if she had suddenly regained her spirits, and even her mood was much better, could it really work to sleep for such a short time? After the agent scolded, he hurriedly followed.
