The praise from the outside world and the commendation from the Seoul Metropolitan Government did not reassure Jung Sung-hyun much, and there is a saying that 'the less you know, the better' and now he understands it deeply.

When he didn't know Park Junhyung, all he had to think about every day was Baolan, them and the company, and now that he learned such terrifying news from Kwon Seok Hakou, he was suspicious and uneasy every day.

In order to improve his reputation, he had to selectively accept the most hated interviews in the past, and he would go to the TV station from time to time. Interested people were surprised to find that the mysterious writer appeared on TV more and more often, and his appearance began to be remembered by people gradually.

Regarding the changes in Jung Sung-hyun, the people around him have the deepest experience.

"Oba, you seem to be a little different lately"

On the bench on the side of the street, Quanbao Blue said seemingly casually while eating a box of chocolate ice cream.

"Oh? What's the difference? Zheng Chengxian smiled narrowly and glanced at her with malicious intentions.

It's a pity that Quan Baolan, who was lowering his head and stirring the ice cream vigorously, didn't pay attention to him.

Sitting on the noisy street, pedestrians with different expressions and Quan Baolan, who was seriously fighting with ice cream next to him, slightly diluted the anxiety in Zheng Chengxian's heart.

For several days, he thought hard about countermeasures, racking his brains to find out who this Park Joonhyung was, but unfortunately there was no progress. Zheng Chengxian, who is at a loss, spends every day in anxiety and restlessness, looking more and more haggard and tempered.

At this moment, a phone call from Quan Baolan pulled him out of his helpless panic.

Although TARA's schedule is getting more and more, Jeon Baolan, who has always been paying attention to Jung Sung-hyun, keenly senses that something is wrong with him. Take advantage of the fact that there is no itinerary today, call and make an appointment to meet.

The two haven't had such a separate date for a long time, and Zheng Chengxian was naturally overjoyed, so he had the scene in front of him.

"I can't tell, I just think you've been different lately. You used to not like to be on TV, and you hated interviews! But now I can see your news almost every day, as if you have accumulated all the opportunities that have been exposed before to today," Quan Baolan said vaguely.

The good ice cream was stirred into a box of paste by Quanbao Blue, and she gently scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth, her little face raised slightly, and her lips tightened as if she was afraid that this delicious food would slip away, and the corners of her mouth were gently raised to express her satisfaction at the moment.

"Does eating a box of ice cream make you happy like this?" Jung Sung-hyun teased funny.

"You don't know. In order to control our weight, we can't eat a lot of things, and we are usually busy, so there are even fewer things when we eat seriously! Otherwise, what do you think is the reason why those IDOL are weak and can't help but be windy? Feeling a fragrant and sweet cold flowing down his throat and into his stomach, Quan Baolan sighed pleasantly.

"Actually, I never asked you. Don't you feel tired after working so hard every day? Do you get bored? ”

"I'm tired, but I'm not tired. I love singing and dancing, so how can I be annoyed doing what I love? ”

Jung Sung-hyun was silent, sometimes he was very envious of Quan Baolan and the boys and girls who worked hard to pursue their dreams.

Know what you want and know how to do it. Even though it's hard every day, I can feel that my dreams are getting closer to me step by step, and I will definitely live a fulfilling and happy life.

In the past, he was like Quanbaolan, he knew what he wanted and how to ask for it! But Park Joon-hyung's appearance disrupted all this, making him feel hesitant, and suddenly realized that he didn't know how to go down.

"You haven't answered me yet!" Seeing that Zheng Chengxian seemed to be distracted again, Quan Baolan's dissatisfaction was coquettish, and the rosy cherry lips under the big toad mirror pursed unhappily.

Jung Sung-hyun didn't answer, leaning back in his chair with his hands behind his head and looking up at the tall buildings in front of him. Suddenly, there was some excitement.

"Baolan, what do you say we are working so hard for every day?"

"What do you mean?"

"You see, we have to deal with all kinds of people every day, with fake smiles, saying things that we can't listen to, and we are careful to beware, is this kind of life really what we want?"

Scratching his head in confusion, Quan Baolan replied uncertainly: "Why do you speak like Agassi, I don't understand!" ”

said that he didn't understand, but the big bright eyes under the sunglasses flashed with worry.

She knew that Jung Sung-hyun had been a little abnormal recently. A person's change never goes without a reason. But Zheng Chengxian didn't say that she didn't want to ask rashly, she already understood a truth when she was very young: many times people's troubles are not willing to confide even to the closest people, at this time you just need to be by his side.

Zheng Chengxian smiled lightly when he heard Quan Baolan's answer,

"You IDOL have to say things against your will every day to those who you hate. Keeping a sweet smile in the face of unfriendliness from fans and intriguing with other artists is definitely not what you want. So is it worth it to do so many things against your will for the sake of your dreams? ”

The spoon in Quan Baolan's hand stopped, and the hands holding the ice cream slowly fell down on his knees, and he looked at the crowd shuttling through the street for a moment:

"To say things against your heart is for fear of offending someone. Laughing at unfriendly fans is not to exacerbate the conflict, and intriguing with others is to get more attention. In the end, they are too weak!

Because we are weak, we have to be polite even to people we hate, put on the best smile and say 'ah, you, saiyo', because we are weak, even in the face of people who don't like us, we have to work hard to perform, just hope that they will change their opinion of themselves. Because he is weak, even if he is unwilling, he has to compete with others for every opportunity to appear on camera. ”

As he said this, Quan Baolan's voice became lower and lower, and finally it was almost inaudible. Looking down at the ice cream in her hand, the dessert that had made her feel happy a second turned tasteless in a blink of an eye.

"If we were strong enough, we wouldn't need to do these things against our hearts!"

Zheng Chengxian sighed abruptly: "So that's the case! ”。

If it weren't for his weakness, he wouldn't be afraid of Park Junhyung who didn't know where he was hiding now.

"You have a point, as long as we are strong enough, we don't need to pay attention to other people's doubts and intrigues. Good is sin, evil is sin, and weakness is the sin of sin! ”

As Zheng Chengxian's expression became more and more excited, and his voice became louder and louder, the troubles in his heart seemed to be solved at once.

Quan Baolan also knew from his expression that Zheng Chengxian had figured it out, but he didn't understand what he had figured it out, so he tilted his head slightly and waited for him to explain.

"Let's go, enough rest! Didn't you say you wanted to go shopping for a day? Zheng Chengxian turned his head and said with a smile at Quan Baolan.

"Hmmm! Let's go."

Quan Baolan nodded and stood up happily, although she still didn't know what was going on, but as long as Zheng Chengxian was happy, that was the thing she was most happy about. (To be continued.) )
