Not-so-intimate intimate friends
"Sorry about that, everyone. I just lost my composure for a moment." Kim Tae-yeon nodded and took over the conversation, "Yoon Hyun is indeed worthy of being an alumnus of MBC's Infinite Challenge. He's really good at talking, not inferior to Liu Zai Shi at all!"
"Yeah, Liu Zai Shi's ant was totally out of my line of sight." Yin Xian pretended to be very cool and stroked his non-existent beard.
"I'm really happy that Yoon Hyun-ji could come to our intimate gathering with friends, because the atmosphere today is surprisingly good."
"Don't always call me 'Yoon Hyun' like that. You normally just call me 'oppa', why are you being so formal here? It's making me feel like I'm on the set of 'Taeyeon's Not So Close Friends' or something." Yoon Hyun said, finding Taeyeon's honorifics a bit strange.
As soon as Yoon Hyun's words came out, the short message platform immediately boiled over, and a large number of red hearts appeared in a row.
"Hey! Family members, don't get too excited!" Kim Tae-yeon looked at the trending face with a slightly red face. "Yoon Hyun OPPA is a good friend of Girls' Generation. Yoon Hyun OPPA, who was the first member of Girls' Generation that you knew?"
"Alright." Yoon Hyun knew that Kim Tae-yeon was trying to get the program back on track, so he didn't cause any more trouble. He's a bit worried now that if he makes the show too variety-like, Kim Tae-yeon won't be able to handle it. It's better for him to just behave himself. "It was before my debut, when I accompanied friends to audition for roles."
"Is this friend an actor in the entertainment industry now?" This Kim Tae-yeon really doesn't know.
"Yeah, it's T-ara members Jiyeon and Boram..." Yoon Hyun replied somewhat awkwardly.
"So actually, Yoon Hyun OPPA is closer to us SNSD and T-ara than you think?" Kim Taeyeon made a very angry expression.
"Taeyeon is jealous!" "Yoon Hyun don't step on several boats at once!" and other messages started popping up on the messaging platform.
"Everyone is a great friend! And so far, I haven't written a song for T-ara yet. The second song for you guys has already been scheduled!" Yoon Hyun laughed and threw a taekwondo kick. Hasn't he written songs for T-ara? It's just that he hasn't given them any, right? If we really think about it, it seems like he's closer to T-ara than Girls' Generation.
"0509 A friend asked, OPPA you mentioned at the Baeksang Awards this year that there is someone who led you to the path of acting and you wanted to thank them. Who is it? Is it Bae Doo-na or Juri Ueno? This is actually a rhetorical question. Everyone who knows about this matter knows it's because of Yoon-ah, right?"
"This is really true. Although I got to know them relatively early because of my older sister, and accompanied them to many audition sites, the one who truly made me think that acting might be fun was indeed Yoon-ah." Yeon-hee said with a serious tone, her voice filled with sincerity, "That was over 1,000 auditions! At that time, I thought this little girl would definitely become a big star in the future, so I asked for her first autograph ever."
"OPPA, I want to remind you that although this is Taeyeon's close friend circle, there are also many family members who like YoonA a lot. You calling her 'little girl' here will make them angry. See, I just said it and someone has already protested on the messaging platform!" Taeyeon said with a mischievous grin.
"Cough, compared to me who has 30 years of mental age, Yoon-ah is just a pure... simple... okay, mischievous little girl!" Yun Hyun-seok said two words that he thought were suitable for describing the cunning Lin Yuner, but finally found the word "mischievous" which was more fitting.
"Hahaha! I suddenly thought of inviting OPPA to join our show tomorrow, and I think Yoon-ah will definitely ask you about the two words 'pure' and 'innocent'. You see, there are already people on our messaging platform who want you to apologize for your mistakes. And how can you do this to us after Yoon-ah's kiss at the Baeksang Arts Awards?!" Kim Tae-yeon said with a mischievous grin.
"I think the word 'pure and innocent' is more suitable for Soo-young. Yoon-ah should just stick to being cute, lively and playful. That suits her better. But I really want to thank her for making me interested in acting again. It's also a great memory that we can walk the red carpet together at the Baeksang Arts Awards and receive an award together." Yeon-hee tidied up a bit. He didn't want to offend Yoon-ah's fans with his joke. Although he wasn't afraid of anything, if Yoon-ah felt guilty because of it, that wouldn't be good...
"Then the second person that OPPA met in SNSD is Sooyoung, right?" Taeyeon wasn't really trying to push Yoon Hyun towards SONE's direction, she just made a joke and went back on topic.
"Yes, that was also a very interesting coincidence. Due to a chance encounter, I became interested in composition and went to the bookstore to buy related books. While selecting books, I got hooked on one book and when I finished reading it and wanted to go to the cashier to pay, I realized that my feet had gone numb from standing for too long and almost fell over. Originally, I thought no one saw this, but it was seen by a girl with long hair holding a very thick piano score. That girl was Xu Xian." Yin Xian recalled.
"It sounds like something out of a TV drama when the male lead meets the female lead for the first time! So, OPPA, your encounter with Sohyun was that romantic!" Kim Taeyeon imagined the scene and said with a hint of envy.
"Not romantic at all, it's embarrassing to death. At that time, Xu Xian was not tall and still looked like a little kid, while I already looked similar to how I do now... I almost tripped myself up in front of a little girl... just thinking about it makes me feel so ashamed!" Yoon Hyun truly didn't think it was romantic at all...
"OPPA, don't deny it anymore. Look, on the messaging platform, everyone is saying that your acquaintance is very romantic! 6106 friends said it best: 'At our first meeting, I used my own embarrassment to make you smile, and also made you happy in your smile, and even happier in your happiness.' It's too cheesy!" Ji Tae-yeon read the interactions on the messaging platform with a sly grin.
"Actually, Taeyeon, I think it's romantic that we met in the first place, isn't it? These can only be considered coincidences!" Yoon Hyun was made uncomfortable by this text and quickly thought of a way to change the subject.
"Ah! OPPA, don't talk nonsense!" Kim Tae-yeon almost jumped up instantly. Since the special stage of "If" during "Kissing You" more than a year ago, there have been people among close friends and family members who think the two should be together, and Yoon Hyun has also been chosen by SONE as the only artist who can accept being Girls' Generation's boyfriend... When Yoon Hyun spoke like this, these people immediately flared up.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, no sooner had Yin Xian's words fallen than the short message platform was hacked...
"Don't listen to Yoon Hyun OPPA's jokes, everyone. The first time we met was in the backstage of our debut stage at MBC. At that time, OPPA came to perform a special stage for 'Gangnam Style'. " Kim Tae-yeon quickly started cleaning up and gave Yoon Hyun a very resentful look.
"That doesn't count. It can only be considered as meeting, not getting to know each other. I think we should get to know each other from that song, right? I don't know if Taeyeon has ever talked about the song "If" on a show." Yoon Hyun saw Kim Taeyeon being so nervous and suddenly had a playful heart. Anyway, he and Kim Taeyeon couldn't possibly have any rumors spread about them, so talking wouldn't hurt anything.
"It was me who got this song from the company and arranged for me to try singing it..."
"Then I'll talk about the story behind this song. Actually, when I received the invitation to write the OST for that drama, I didn't take it too seriously at first. At that time, although I had already written some relatively well-known songs, I was still a newcomer after all, so I just wrote a song with an attitude of trying it out. Initially, I actually wrote it for myself to sing, but after finishing writing it, no matter how I sang it, it felt very ordinary and didn't have any flavor, so I simply handed it over to the drama team and let them find someone else to sing it."
"Then you found me?" Kim Tae-yeon said with some surprise.
"It wasn't me who found you, it was you who found me." Yin Xian said with a serious face. "That day when you called me to ask for my help in recording a song at your company, I was stunned. I didn't expect the circle to be so small, and it just so happened that it fell on your head. At that time, my reaction was, oh no, if you sing this broken song and mess it up, how can I explain it? So I went to try and salvage it one last time. But what I didn't expect was, when I got there and heard your first take, I was completely shocked. I really didn't think that this song could be sung like that, or sound so good."
"OPPA you're overpraising me..." Kim Tae-yeon said with a hint of embarrassment.
Yin Xian shook his head: "At that time, I suddenly felt that if every person is destined to have someone with him from birth, and a person's life is in the process of finding this destiny, then why not for a song? This song just found the singer who was born for it."
Yoon Hyun's words were extremely moving.
Then Kim Tae-yeon's eyes became a bit dazed when she heard Yoon Hyun's last words.
"And then this song was sung red by you. To be honest, I wasn't surprised at all. Because the first time I heard this song, you sang me, the author, to tears."
"Thank you, oppa." Taeyeon expressed her gratitude for Yoon Hyun's praise with a hint of shyness.
At this time, the SMS platform had already been boiling. Kim Tae-yeon glanced at those various text messages urging the two to be together and decided to ignore them all.
"Time flies so fast, the first part is almost over. Let's end it with a song by PSY, the king of K-pop, 'Gangnam Style'!" Taeyeon quickly switched to music playback.
