Yin Xian looked at the branch, and he didn't know how long he was stunned, and there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Yoon Hyun is woken up from his own world.

"OPPA, excuse me." Walking into the house was Kim Tae-yeon.

He was wearing a bright red down jacket, a pale pink scarf, and a pair of large sunglasses. This outfit makes Kim Taeyeon's already white and tender skin a little unhealthy.

"Sit down." Yin Hyun smiled and pointed to a chair next to his bed.

……

Be quiet.

"I didn't expect you to come." Yoon Hyun broke the silence.

These are the words from his heart.

"How can it be so fast to forget someone." Kim Tae-yeon's voice was calm.

"Then if I die, wouldn't it be just right, once I'm done, you won't have anything you can't forget......" Yin Xian smiled a little.

“OPPA…… You seem to have misunderstood what I meant. ”

"What misunderstanding?"

“…… OPPA, have you ever tried to like someone? Kim Taeyeon suddenly asked Yoon Hyun.

Yin Xian was stunned for a moment.

He remembered a girl. The one who dragged himself around to play, that smile as dazzling as fireworks burning wantonly in the wind.

Immediately, he remembered another face. It's just that this face was fleeting, and he was driven out of his mind by Yin Xian.

He nodded.

"Did you end up liking her?" Kim Tae-yeon continued to ask Yoon Hyun.

"Yes......" Yin Xian said uncertainly.

But eventually, he shook his head.

Kim Tae-yeon smiled.

They all knew who Yin Hyun was talking about and what he was talking about.

"Then why didn't you like her in the end?"

"Because...... I don't know if she just likes to be around me or if she likes me as a person......" Yin Xian thought about it, he seems to have talked to her about this question, right?

"OPPA, actually, you're used to Yuna...... She's staying with you, isn't she? Kim Taeyeon said with a smile.

Yin Xian nodded.

I did get used to it. During that time, when Lin Yun'er was not there, she would feel weird.

Then, in an instant, he understood what Kim Taeyeon meant.

Getting used to being around alone is not the same thing as liking someone. Otherwise, I should like it the most. It should be IU, the poor little face that was just forcibly expelled from his mind......

If getting used to being around alone doesn't mean liking her, then, getting used to being alone doesn't mean liking her. It doesn't seem to mean that you can forget him.

This logic ...... It's pretty smooth, isn't it......

"So, OPPA, until I succeed in forgetting you, you...... It must be good......" Kim Tae-yeon's smile was stiff.

Yoon Hyun stares at Kim Taeyeon, but he can't see Kim Taeyeon's eyes.

Because of the toad sunglasses she was carrying.

It's just a layer of black glass.

Yin Hyun felt as if there was a mountain between him and her.

But it doesn't seem that far away......

"Then you're going to have to forget about me. Because...... I probably won't live long. Yin Xian's smile was very indifferent.

Kim Tae-yeon's already reluctant smile was frozen all of a sudden.

It's like ice on the branches of a tree outside.

“…… OPPA…… Is it serious? ”

"I can't command my legs anymore." Yin Xian smiled and said about his situation.

Kim Taeyeon fell silent for a moment.

Yoon Hyun just looked at Kim Tae-yeon.

He always felt that he could see through those sunglasses and see Kim Tae-yeon's eyes hiding behind them.

Yoon Hyun is almost 100% sure that Kim Tae-yeon is wearing these sunglasses just to hide......

“OPPA。”

Yoon Hyun did not answer Kim Tae-yeon's call.

“OPPA…… Since...... Time is running out......" Kim Taeyeon lowered her head.

"Well, how?"

"Since time is running out, then ......" Kim Taeyeon looked up again, "then...... I decided. ”

"Huh? What was decided? ”

"I decided, since there was not enough time for me to forget about OPPA you, then. I just don't want to do that. Kim Tae-yeon said firmly.

“…… How long did you plan to use it? ”

"Me? Ten years...... Perhaps, five years? Kim Tae-yeon's tone was a little uncertain.

Five years?

"Didn't you believe what I said?"

"Yes." Kim Taeyeon nodded.

"......" Yin Xian looked embarrassed.

"OPPA, since I have changed my mind, then, when will you pay me back what you owe me?" Kim Taeyeon didn't struggle with Yoon Hyun on this issue.

She knew that if she continued to talk about this problem, she would be at her own expense.

But Yin Xian couldn't help but tell her about it. Because, the question that Kim Taeyeon wants to say is what Yoon Hyun wants to avoid.

"Why don't you believe me?" Yin Hyun asked.

"When can you give me ...... you owe me?"

"Why don't you believe me?"

……

The two entered into a wonderful balance.

In an inexplicable quarrel. But neither of them was angry.

"It's not that I don't believe it." Kim Taeyeon finally didn't hold back and took the lead in breaking this balance. "It's that I don't want to believe it."

"I've already prepared your wedding song, if...... I can't go, Ji-eun will go for me. Yin Xian also replied very dryly.

And then. Quiet again.

"Before I called you, Ji-eun said something to me." Yoon Hyun is still not used to this kind of quietness.

The silence in the ward, really quiet.

In particular, he couldn't even hear the breathing of Kim Taeyeon, who was sitting not far from him, which scared him.

“IU？ What did she say? ”

She said...... Let me let you go, just like I did with Sister Hyo-joo. Yin Xian smiled helplessly.

Kim Taeyeon was stunned.

"So......" Yin Xian's smile was faint.

But there's a lot of meaning in it.

He believed that Kim Taeyeon could understand it.

Kim Taeyeon did understand.

"You'd better forget about me. Completely forget. Yin Xian said very simply.

"You're talking lightly." Kim Taeyeon's smile was bitter.

But at least not crying. Isn't it?

"I've tried a lot of methods, not contacting, even going to fall in love with someone else, and then not using it...... Forcing yourself to be an enemy if you don't want to be a lover, but ......" Kim Taeyeon's voice was low, "but...... It's useless......"

“…… I'm sorry. Yin Hyun shook his head.

“OPPA……”

"Huh?"

"I love you."

"Hmmm......"

"And ......," Kim Taeyeon said and stood up.

Yin Xian was stunned for a moment.

"And ...... I won't be in front of OPPA again. Kim Tae-yeon took off her sunglasses and looked at Yoon Hyun.

Yoon Hyun saw Kim Tae-yeon's eyes.

A faint smile in the corner of the eye.

And the deep tiredness in his eyes.

"I'm going to live happily. Do what I love, sing, act, get married. Have a baby. Live happily. Kim Taeyeon looked serious. I'll ask IUxi to sing me a good day song at my wedding when I get married......"

"Well, that's what I want to see the most." In an instant, Yin Xian felt that his heart was really hurting. It's like being pricked with a needle.

He finally understood why he couldn't let go of this little girl all along.

It's finally time to let go.

It's just that......

"Forget me, live well, be happy." Yin Xian nodded.

Somewhat wooden.

"No, OPPA, I won't forget you." Kim Taeyeon pulled something out of her bag.

Yin Xian was stunned for a moment.

It's a mobile phone.

That mobile phone Yin Hyun remembers.

A few years ago, when Kim Taeyeon traveled to Europe with her, she used that mobile phone, right? I took selfies with her more than once with that mobile phone......

Hasn't she already replaced her with a new phone? This one...... Why is it still there?

"This is my memory with OPPA, and I will keep it safe." Kim Taeyeon looked at the phone in her hand. Then he looked at Yoon Hyun again.

Yin Xian was dumbfounded. He didn't know what else he could say.

"OPPA has left me with all the happy memories...... And those songs, I'll keep them in my collection. Kim Taeyeon is still serious.

The two looked at each other.

"Taeyeon......" Yoon Hyun let out a long breath.

“OPPA。” Kim Taeyeon replied naturally.

“…… You...... Do you regret meeting me? Yin Xian asked.

"Nope." Kim Taeyeon smiled and shook her head, "Knowing OPPA is the happiest thing in my life. I don't regret it, on the contrary, I'm happy. ”

Yin Xian nodded.

Taeyeon can laugh and say that she doesn't regret it.

But Yoon Hyun ...... He regretted it.

If I hadn't preached to Girls' Generation in the waiting room with a serious face, if I hadn't written that ost, if I hadn't had that ambiguous special stage, if I hadn't had that onion with a soft heart for a moment, if I hadn't had that trip to Europe. If you don't sing to the wildflowers on the island......

It's just that...... If all this is not ......

You'll regret it even more, right?

So, what do you regret?

"If there is another life...... Let's not be lovers, and we don't want to be enemies......" Yin Xian took a deep breath. "Let's just be a normal friend...... Friend. ”

Kim Taeyeon was stunned for a moment and nodded.

……

Kim Taeyeon left with a smile on her face, and Yoon Hyun also sent her away with a smiling face.

Before leaving, the two of them just smiled and said something unrelated.

From the sudden cold weather, to the triple crown crown that Yoo Jae-seok regretted to lose, to a child who Kim Tae-yeon just saw on the way to the road today asking his mother to buy fish cakes to eat.

Laughing. Chatting.

It's like two old friends who see each other every day, saying some trivial and nagging things.

Until the two of them had nothing to say.

The silence lasted for a long time. The two men just smiled and looked into each other's eyes.

Until the smile is about to disappear.

Then Kim Taeyeon said lightly, I'll go first.

Yin Xian said lightly, be careful on the road.

That's it.

Although both of them knew that when the door behind Kim Taeyeon was closed, there might not be such an opportunity to laugh and chat again.

Even, the two may not have a chance to meet again.

Probably not. Yes, definitely.

Yoon Hyun won't see Kim Taeyeon again. He was afraid. There are many things he is afraid of, and perhaps the reason alone can be said for a long time.

But in short, I was afraid. So, he will avoid Kim Taeyeon.

What about Kim Taeyeon? I shouldn't come back to see Yin Xian again.

You can't get along with each other, and you can't forget each other in the rivers and lakes......

Well, it's probably best to say goodbye with a smile like this.

Kim Tae-yeon, who walked out of the room and turned around to close the door, said the last words to Yoon Hyun with a smile.

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye." Yoon Hyun replied. He didn't see Kim Tae-yeon's tears flowing from the hem of her sunglasses.

He really didn't see it. It's true. He told himself. (To be continued.) )
