Chapter 4 After Dinner

Kim Do-jun walked slowly upstairs, his steps slightly heavy.

The old-fashioned two-story building, perhaps because it has not been repaired for a long time, still makes a "squeak" sound from time to time when stepping on the stairs, and when you open your door, the slightly yellowed wallpaper comes into view, and some places have fallen off, forming mottled blocks, which look very irregular, like blisters.

The furnishings in the house are simple, even basic.

A small bed that can only sleep one person, a desk, a simple modular cabinet, connect the wardrobe and the bookcase, and there is nothing left.

With heavy steps, I walked to the side of the bed, and suddenly lay down on my small bed, feeling extremely relieved and comfortable, as if only this room was truly my own and free.

Looking up, the six-member poster of the Crystal Boys was taped to the ceiling of the roof, and when I looked at it, it seemed to be the time of the first album "College Song".

Six slightly young boys, dressed in clothes that look baggy, each posed, with a hairstyle unique to that era in 98.

The bangs are half-hung down, covering his eyes.

Kim Do-jun stared at the poster for a long time, and couldn't help but be stunned, and it took a long time to recover, let out a long sigh of relief, grinning at the corners of his mouth, and didn't know what he was thinking.

From the end of '96 to '98, it was an era of fierce competition among Korea's new generation of groups, and excellent combinations emerged one after another, the most representative of which was the HOT group launched by S.M and the Crystal Boy group launched by DSP.

As soon as the two companies launched the combination, it quickly detonated the entire Korean entertainment industry, quickly drove the development of Hallyu, and became the two hottest combinations at that time.

With their respective songs "Descendants of Warriors" and "Life and Death", they stood at the highest peak in the music industry.

At that year's platter concert, it was still an awards ceremony, except for the white balloon of HOT at half of the time was the yellow balloon of the Crystal Boy, and the fans on both sides did not give in to each other, not only insulting each other, but even developing to the point of adding fists and kicks.

It is precisely because of the retirement of Xu Taizhi and the children that the rise of HOT and Crystal Boy has been achieved, and they have also gained a strong reputation and popularity.

Kim Do-joon is a fan of Crystal Boys, and although it has not reached the point of fanaticism, as long as they release album tapes, they will buy and support them.

Although he didn't have any money, he even bought the tapes with the pocket money he secretly saved, for fear that his parents would know about him and punish him, and finally confiscate his pocket money.

After lying down for a while, Kim Do-joon slowly sat up from the bed, opened the drawer of his desk, took out a cassette tape from it, and carefully placed it in his walkman.

This walkman was a Spring Festival gift specially given to him by his mother during the Spring Festival last year, and it was also a new model of SONY, and I originally hoped that Kim Do-jun would learn English well, but I didn't expect it to be used by Kim Do-jun to listen to the crystal boy's tape!

After receiving the gift at that time, Kim Do-jun was excited for a long time, and vaguely remembered that when he opened the gift, he jumped up with excitement and almost threw away the walkman in his hand.

Put on the headphones, choose one of your favorite songs, "Taste of Life and Death", and start listening to it attentively.

I live and die because of the product, and I live because of the product

I died because of the product, and I came back to life because of the product

The path of manhood

There are no tears, and there can be no tears

I live and die

There is no room for discouragement on the road to manhood

If you have nothing, you have to keep that self-esteem

There are no tears for me......

While listening to the song, I kept humming along with the rhythm.

Maybe it's because of family factors, his father is taciturn, not very good at expressing his feelings, and not very good at taking care of Daojun's thoughts, he has always thought that Daojun should be the same as himself, determined to be a man since he was a child, and a man can shed blood, but he should not shed tears.

But Daddy Kim didn't take into account how much he could know as a ten-year-old child.

And Daojun because of the birth of his sister, he feels that his parents' attention has shifted to his sister, although he is not jealous, but his heart is not so comfortable, just like a cake that originally belonged to you, but now because there is one more person, half of it has to be given to others, and it is still a big half of the cake, and it takes a process of adaptation for anyone.

In addition, Daojun is originally a quiet and introverted character, not very good at expression, likes to do his own things, likes to be quiet alone, and doesn't like to go out very much, so he doesn't have many friends.

Only by immersing himself in music can he accompany himself and relieve loneliness and loneliness, and sometimes the power of idols does bring hope to people in adversity, and also gives Kim Do-joon's spiritual sustenance, which is also the power of music.

He shook his hands vigorously, pursed his mouth tightly, and bit his lip from time to time, as if he had made some important decision, and raised his eyebrows upward.

The melody of the song kept lingering in his ears, and Daojun gradually closed his eyes, his spirit slowly relaxed, pulled the quilt, covered himself, kicked off the slippers on his feet, and the clothes he had just taken off slipped off the side of the bed, and Daojun gradually entered his dream, and muttered to himself from time to time: "Maybe it's good for me to be a singer!" ”

Note 1: I probably knew HOT and the Crystal Boy when I was in junior high school, I liked it very much at the time, I remember when I gave a speech in college English, many students made PPT of scenery, travel, and food, and I made a PPT of HOT alone in the class, and then gave a speech, and won the first place at that time, so proud, in fact, I am a crystal rice, or a dark crystal.
