Jet-black... It was pitch black, and a large area of black occupied a large picture, which made people feel extremely depressed. Only the upper part of the center of the picture is a bright color, and the rough and clumsy brushwork outlines the shape of a vague stage. The large piece of milky white paint seems to represent the spotlight, but under the lamp, there is a faint depiction of a person in black... There is only one person......

Jin Haoyu's expression slowly became solemn, and gradually became cold, and there was a faint pity in his angry eyes.

That's right, this is the main arena of Jamsil in Seoul, and although the shape in the picture is not similar, Kim Ho-woo is enough to recognize this venue. The scene of that year seemed to be recreated before his eyes.

Dream Concert is a free charity concert held every year in Korea since 1995, and many popular celebrity idols perform. This was originally a good thing that everyone praised, but on the day of June 7, 2008, a major event happened that shocked the entire Korean entertainment industry.

When 9 young and beautiful girls with an average age of only 19 years old performed on stage, because of the rampant spread of various scandals and rumors before, the conflict between fans caused the audience to collectively extinguish the light sticks in their hands to boycott, and even booed and mocked collectively after the performance. Only the fans of Girls' Generation shone faintly in the audience, and the entire jamsil was pitch black, and the scene was amazing, which was called "black ocean" by the media.

Although the public and the media expressed sympathy and concern after this huge anti-epidemic incident, and strongly condemned the anti-epidemic behavior, it had a profound impact on the spirit of the nine people at that time that cannot be erased for a lifetime.

For Kim Ho-woo, Girls' Generation is not familiar to him except for Kim Tae-yeon, because at that time he was assisting Park Jin-young in JYP's album of zuòwondergirls, and for JYP, S.M's girl group was an enemy, a competitor.

Kim Ho-woo only knew Kim Tae-yeon, and he only knew that Kim Tae-yeon finally broke out with a strong phobia of the camera in early 2009 under long-term mental pressure, and quit his job as a radio DJ at MBC. In addition, S.M also stopped Girls' Generation's group activities as early as the end of 2008, and she has never appeared in front of the camera again.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Jin Haoyu has tried to help her overcome this psychological barrier, although it has weakened, it has never succeeded. Being able to record OST has been a huge improvement, and Kim Taeyeon refused to participate in any live performance invitations or award-winning ceremonies, and even the awards were received by Kim Ho-woo on his behalf.

Today, when Kim Ho-woo saw this painting, he finally understood that Kim Taeyeon still hadn't let it go, she still cared about it, and she was still as fragile and small as she was 2 years ago

Jin Haoyu's heart couldn't help but rise a burst of depression, mourning his misfortune and angering him.

Suddenly, he rolled up his sleeves, bent down to pick up the dusty palette and shook it, pulled out the paint from the corner that no one had touched for a long time, squeezed it on, opened the slightly pungent turpentine, and waved the brush

Although it was winter, it seemed that the noon sun, which was more piercing than the scorching summer, poured through the window on Kim Tae-yeon's fair face. Kim Tae-yeon, who finally felt discomfort on her face, shook her eyelashes and opened her bright eyes, which seemed to contain an incomprehensible love inside.

Sitting up, the back of her neck aching from hangover made her unconsciously turn her neck, reached out and rubbed her eyes, and suddenly saw the black marks on the back of her hand and couldn't help but be a little stunned. Still wondering what was going on, she reached out and pulled the pajamas on the side, put them on her body haphazardly, and walked to the bathroom barefoot.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Kim Taeyeon was slightly distracted, the makeup that she didn't have time to take off yesterday had already faded at this time, and the deformed black eyeliner marks were like clowns. She turned on the faucet and washed her face as she struggled to turn her mind to remember what had happened yesterday.

When she walked into the living room with a towel to wipe her freshly washed hair, and saw the tall man sleeping soundly on the sofa, she finally understood how she had come back yesterday

Kim Taeyeon looked at the figure on the sofa curled up on her back with a funny face. The three-seater light-colored sofa is particularly small compared to his height of 185cm, a muscular calf and feet wearing black and gray striped cotton socks are stretched out and hung in the air, dark blue denim jeans appear to be extraordinarily slender underneath, and the black sweater on the upper body is close to the body, adding a bit of youthful atmosphere to his very mature face. Jin Haoyu is not handsome, he has nothing to do with the beautiful man at all, and he can even be said to be fierce. Although the thick eyebrows, square face and embarrassed stubble look resolute, they don't look like a 24-year-old young man at all, but like a mature man in his early 30s. The uncomfortable sleeping position made him snore slightly, which made Kim Tae-yeon snicker.

This was the first time Kim Taeyeon saw him asleep, and suddenly, a pungent smell wafted over and made her wrinkle her beautiful nose, although the smell was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't tell what it was coming from. She decided to ignore it, the scene in front of her was much more interesting.

Kim Taeyeon suddenly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled secretly, and she didn't know what the hell was thinking, so she quietly walked to Kim Haoyu and stretched out her hands that were as white as onion roots.

When Kim Ho-woo was awakened by the stimulation from the constant slapping on both sides of his buttocks, when he opened his eyes and turned around, he saw Kim Taeyeon's figure holding his stomach and laughing and unable to straighten his waist.

"Elsie... Kim Tae-yeon, what are you doing! Perverted! Spank me!! Jin Haoyu sat up and scolded angrily.

"Hahahaha~" Kim Taeyeon's aunt-like laughter couldn't stop at all, "cough cough cough..."

Jin Haoyu reached out and patted her bent back a few times speechlessly, and said, "As for laughing like this, sometimes I really can't understand your laughter." ”

Kim Taeyeon straightened up, sat down beside him with tears on her face, lay back, gasped and asked, "Why are you sleeping here?" ”

"Alas..." Jin Haoyu shook his head and sighed, did not answer her question, and got up and walked to the kitchen, picked up the takeout box and put it in the microwave to heat it up.

"What's that?" Kim Taeyeon asked curiously, but she didn't mean to get up and walk over at all.

"Bean sprout soup and seafood soup that I went out to buy in the morning"

With a ding, Kim Ho-woo brought the two bowls, turned around and put a plate of gimbap on the coffee table, and handed Kim Tae-yeon a pair of chopsticks.

Before Kim Taeyeon could make a move, he stretched out his hand and began to eliminate the gimbap, chewing and saying, "Drink some bean sprout soup while it's hot, you must have a terrible headache after drinking so much soju yesterday." Bean sprout soup is a national hangover remedy, and it will be much more comfortable to drink. ”

Kim Taeyeon nodded silently, picked up the bowl and drank it in small sips. "You haven't answered my question yet."

"What?"

"I said, why did you fall asleep on the couch?"

"I'll sleep when I'm sleepy, if I don't sleep on the sofa, I'll sleep on your bed?"

"I didn't agree to your stay." Kim Taeyeon couldn't help but get angry when she heard this, "And how did you know the password to my door?" ”

"I rented this house for you, okay, when you set the password, you still asked me what to set up, can I not know?" Jin Haoyu replied impatiently with a roll of his eyes, but his hands were non-stop, constantly destroying food.

Kim Taeyeon was stunned when she heard this, knocked his hand with chopsticks and said, "Leave me some." ”

Jin Haoyu had no choice but to drink the seafood soup instead, and said: "What happened yesterday, I suddenly drank so much wine, and I was drunk like that, so people don't know if they sell it." ”

With a pause in his hand, Kim Taeyeon put down the bowl and turned his head to look at him and said, "Hee-cheol OPPA came to me yesterday, and he told me that he was about to enlist in the army, and the company has decided to let him go to serve in August or September next year." ”

Jin Haoyu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "He will be 29 next year, and he should also serve, is it really 30?" ”

Hearing his words, Kim Taeyeon glanced at him speechlessly and said, "You can say cool things, you are an Olympic taekwondo champion, and you don't need to serve in the military, of course you said so." Heeche oppa is an artist, and he won't know if his popularity is gone when he comes back after two years. And he said that S.M plans to launch a new boy group next year, and it is estimated that he will soon be able to retire SJ. ”

Jin Haoyu listened to the fact that there was no change in his face, and said, "I'm asking why you drink so much, I don't believe it's because of this." He still has half a year to serve, and he doesn't want to go now. People left without much drinking, and you got drunk and made a lot of fun there. ”

Kim Taeyeon lowered her head and was silent, and after a while she spoke, "I... I thought about myself, I thought about my girlhood for two years, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to perform on stage in my life. She laughed self-deprecatingly: "Even if I have the opportunity, I don't dare to stand in that position again..."

Jin Haoyu heard that there was no response when he heard this, and suddenly picked up the coat on the side and got up and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Kim Taeyeon couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Why are you going, you haven't finished eating yet." ”

Jin Haoyu walked to the door and put on his shoes, put his hand on the doorknob, turned his head and said: "The OST of "Athena: Goddess of War" on the 14th will be released, and when the time comes, I will transfer the first income of the song "I Love You" to that account as usual, this time there will be a lot more commission without S.M, leave more for yourself, don't send it all to your parents." And..."

He paused, hesitated for a moment, and said as if he had made a lot of determination: "Don't go to Junxiu to sing in the future, I have already helped you greet him." I recently wrote a song for men and women, if you will... I can accompany you to release digital singles, and... On the stage of playing songs. ”

Jin Haoyu took a deep breath and said slowly: "If you want, call me and go." After that, he opened the door and walked straight out, without waiting for Kim Taeyeon to respond and say goodbye.

It wasn't until the sound of the door closing came that Kim Taeyeon came back to her senses, she didn't understand why Kim Ho-woo left suddenly, so she had to lower her head and drink the bean sprout soup while digesting the words he had just left.

When there was only one person left in the room, it was unusually silent, only the sound of the clashing of dishes echoed in the living room. A violent sense of emptiness hit her heart, as if everything that happened just now was illusory, and she was always the only one who existed. She began to become sensitive, the sound of chopsticks touching the plate seemed to be extraordinarily loud and harsh, and the pungent smell was noticed by her again.

Kim Taeyeon frowned, trying to find out where the source of this was affecting her appetite. Looking around at the familiar surroundings, she carefully discerned the differences in each place. As her gaze swept over the corner, she suddenly remembered that it was the smell of turpentine. Unlike gouache, which is generally used as a pigment blending agent, the blending agent of oil paint is turpentine, which has a peculiar pungent and foul smell.

Kim Taeyeon got up and walked there, thinking about whether she had accidentally knocked it over yesterday after getting drunk, and before she could figure it out, she noticed that the box for turpentine had not been opened, but there were obvious traces of use on the palette. Could it be that I had another draw last night? Kim Tae-yeon asked herself.

When she slowly turned the flipped easel back, suddenly a little pink came into view...

One drop, two drops... Tears flowed from Kim Taeyeon's eyes, and her lips trembled slightly, as if she was whimpering but no sound came out.

Kim Taeyeon suddenly turned around angrily, walked quickly to the sofa, reached out and rummaged in her bag, and finally found the phone, as if she had used all her strength, her fingers trembling to broadcast a call.
