The Road of Life for Nine People
"The first path is simple, go back to school, continue studying, find a boyfriend, fall in love, get married, and treat this trainee's life as just a dream from my youth." Yoon Hyun bent down the first finger that was stretched out.
"Second Avenue, take advantage of the fact that it's still possible now, go learn to sing and dance. The next few years will be the best era for you girls who have a dream of becoming stars," Yin Xian bent down his second finger and said here, taking a long breath: "It will also be the worst era."
"The third path, continue to stick to the current path, learn acting skills well, and study out a suitable performance method for yourself. No matter three years, five years, ten years, one day your efforts will wash away all the sand covering the gold." Yoon Hyun bent down his last finger.
"You think about your own path yourself. At this time, I can't give you more advice." Yoon Hyun finally concluded.
"But Bao Lan told me you didn't say that to her." Li Zhi Xian smiled somewhat self-mockingly, "You helped her decide what she should do."
"That's because I know what Bao Lan wants. So I can stand from a friend's perspective and persuade the devil hiding in her mind. But do you, Zhi Xian, know what you want? When Bao Lan doesn't know what to do, she'll go around asking for help, listening to others' advice, and actively facing it. But you, Zhi Xian, lock yourself up, not listening or looking, is that enough? Although you usually appear strong and mature, in this matter, you're indeed not as good as Bao Lan." Yun Xian said coldly. He tried his best to package Bao Lan's behavior as calm and rational, also attempting to give himself and Bao Lan an excuse.
"Am I really useless?" Li Zhi Xian said, seemingly to himself, "Then you can just ignore me. Anyway, even if I quit now, it's not too late."
"If this is your last choice, I'll support you." Yoon Hyun said under the pressure of Jeon Bo Ram's somewhat angry gaze: "But, are you really willing to give up like this? Is this what you really want?"
Quan Bao Lan finally couldn't bear it, grabbed a sofa cushion and threw it at Yin Xian. She regretted calling Yin Xian over. How could this guy be so clueless about women?
Li Zhi Xian has already burst into tears.
She cried for a long time.
Li Zhi Xian had cried until a whole box of tissues was used up, his eyes were swollen like peaches, before he finally slowly stopped crying.
"Have you thought it through?" Yoon Hyun had been calmly sitting beside him, handing Lee Ji-hyun sheet after sheet.
"Alright." Li Zhi Xian nodded and then stopped talking.
There's no need to ask her what she thinks the answer is. This is also a kind of tacit understanding.
"My sister's relationship with Xian Jing is okay," Yin Xian thought for a moment and continued, "Let's find an opportunity to have dinner together. Although it's a competitive relationship in the company, I hope you can understand that dreams are always a game that only capable people are qualified to play. Those who are already in the game must constantly strengthen themselves, or they will be eliminated."
"Yoon Hyun... oppa," Lee Ji Hyeon said with a smile, "You've been saying so many cheesy but reasonable things today."
"As long as you can listen, I won't have spoken in vain." Yoon Hyun thought for a moment and said: "I can give you some advice. If you're really interested in acting, I suggest you take a look at the plays that Taehee sister has performed. I think you can learn from them. Although it may not be a good thing for you..."
"Don't say it halfway," Quan Bao Lan saw Li Zhi Xian's emotions finally returned to normal, and the words that had been suppressed for half a day finally burst out. "What is meant by 'not necessarily a good thing', what else can be learned from it."
"I think Ji-hyun and Bao-lan are, with such excellent looks, even if acting has some difficulties, going to shoot some commercials or something should also be a good development direction." Yin Xian said: "Just like Tai-hee sister, since not shooting much last year, advertisements are still coming in, making money quickly without being tired."
"That's Kim Tae-hee for you!" Jeon Bora was a bit speechless, "If I were also from Seoul University, I might try to learn from her."
"You can try some smaller advertising auditions, and when it's time to discuss the contract, have a company agent present, and naturally there will be an artist contract..." Yoon Hyun said, revealing his plan for their development.
"What you said sounds so reasonable, why don't you come and be our agent?" Li Zhi Xian half-jokingly said. "Having a Seoul University top student as an agent sounds pretty good."
"If you're not afraid that I'll hold you back, then I don't mind. A broker's most important asset is their connections, and in this regard, I'm a complete blank slate." Yoon Hyun said nonchalantly.
"Oppa, if I say I'm serious, what would you think?" Ji Hyeon's face turned solemn.
"Either you've gone mad or you're in love with me, and the latter can also be considered as going mad, then you're truly mad." Yoon Hyun also had a serious face.
The two of them exchanged a glance and burst out laughing together. But Guan Bao Lan on the side couldn't laugh it off.
The Spring Festival is coming to an end, and a new year has brought many changes to people's lives.
Under Yoon Hyun's instigation, Jang Bo Ram and Lee Ji Hyeon finally became acquaintances with Ham Eunjung, although they still had a competitive relationship, but at least on the surface they got along much better. And this girl named Ham Eunjung was unexpectedly easy to talk to, after just having dinner together with Yoon Ji Hyun a few times, she exchanged phone numbers with Yoon Hyun and became a fairly close friend.
While Bae Doo-na and Lee Ji-hyun started trying to find some advertising CF shooting opportunities on their own.
Maybe it was a step back, but their horizons suddenly broadened a lot. In just one week, both of them found a CF shooting opportunity. Although they were small ads and didn't pay much, for them, these were not easy things to come by.
Because the money was not a lot, so the two people did not inform the company. Since CCM's trainee contract is relatively loose and their seniority is already there, since the company didn't help with anything, they also don't care about what the two girls do on their own.
So before the start of the new semester, Yin Xian became their voluntary driver and temporary assistant when they went to shoot CF.
To avoid embarrassing her assistant when taking him out, under the joint coercion of the two, she ran to Myeong-dong and bought three sets of clothes that looked like they belonged to an entertainment industry manager. However, due to the vastly different styles of the two, it ended up being a bit unflattering. Fortunately, Yoon Ji-hye, who had seen much, was there to suppress the two excited and slightly out-of-control girls with her seniority, and finally settled on an outfit that looked refreshing, clean, and stable for Yoon Hyun.
When Yoon Hyun first wore this outfit to take a CF with Jung Bae, he was so surprised that he couldn't say a word for half a day before coming back to his senses.
"How could I have gone for over a year without realizing that Yoon Hyun-ji was so handsome!" Bao Lan finally managed to say after holding it in for half a day.
The shooting of cf was still very smooth, just a flat food advertisement, all blue selling Meng electric power full open, plus some moderate performances, and makeup preparation, four hours to complete the shooting.
During the shooting, Yoon Hyun was chatting with the photographer and PD like a real agent. He had good intentions, but found that his presence actually affected everyone's work efficiency, so he slipped away to help Jeon Bora with her blue backpack and took a look at his composition book.
Later when going with Lee Ji-hyun to shoot that clothing advertisement, Yoon Hyun had a lot more experience... completely becoming a bag-carrying assistant.
Such companionship only had this one opportunity, because soon, Yoon Hyun entered his sophomore year of studies. At the same time, as Yoon Ji-hye's due date approached, Yoon Hyun had more and more things to worry about.
At this time, Kim Tae-hee, who was half-idle at home, played the role of a best friend, transforming from a national goddess to a small nanny serving a pregnant woman, which moved both Yun's siblings.
But Kim Tae Hee is still Kim Tae Hee. Even if she temporarily cut off all her entertainment activities to take care of her best friend, there is a disgusting thing called "private fan" in Korea.
Then in order to avoid putting Kim Tae-hee in a difficult position, although Yoon Hyun's family home was clearly available, he was instead sent off to school to apply for a dormitory...
But even if he doesn't live at home, he still has to go back and visit his sister, and then naturally gets caught by private fans.
This is going to blow up. Although Kim Tae-hee has never been on the pure route since her debut, this hasn't affected her being positioned as a national ideal type... now the ideal type lives in a strange man's house...
Jin Tai Xi had to hold a small press conference to explain the situation, saying that she was taking care of her pregnant best friend from middle school and had moved into her house, and the boy was just her best friend's younger brother.
But even so, Yoon Hyun became popular anyway.
Good things, people immediately found various information about Yoon Hyun, and the fact that he was a student of Seoul University's philosophy department brought up again the inexplicable scandal with Kim Tae-hee. Moreover, after accompanying Jeon Bo-ram to shoot an advertisement last time, Yoon Hyun also started paying attention to his appearance, or rather, being forced to pay attention to it. A Seoul University high-achiever who had served in the military on Yeongpyeong Island and was sunny and handsome... He was simply the perfect image of countless girls' dreams!
Then many good things about Yoon Hyun's rumors flooded into Seoul University, as a result, they heard more explosive news from more people: he is likely to be one of the students who graduated early with both hands counted in the history of Seoul University. Although he has just entered his sophomore year, the credits he has taken are basically enough for the graduation credits required.
One year, he finished a four-year course at Seoul University! Then, Yoon Hyun became the shameful object of attention in school.
Yin Xian's psychology is also considered strong, and he has not become a modern version of someone in Chinese history who was looked down upon. Of course, there are other reasons for this, as the number of courses he chose this semester is no less than last semester.
Even after seeing his course selection form, the department head had to make time to talk to him and confirm what he really wanted to do.
No one else knew what he said to the department head, anyway, after he came out of the department head's office, there was no change in the course schedule, and he continued to teach as usual.
The rumors with Kim Tae-hee hadn't even had time to ferment and were already vaguely forgotten by people.
Soon, Yin Xian is going to be an uncle.
The due date is tomorrow, so Yun Hyun and Kim Tae Hee, including Kim Tae Hee's younger brother Kim Hyeong Soo, are all at the hospital with Yoon Ji Hye.
The atmosphere is slightly tense.
"Sister, it's come to this point, there's something I must ask you." Yun Hyun looked at Kim Tae Hee who was humming a song while peeling an apple on one side and Kim Hyeong Soo who was playing games with his PSP on the other side, and opened his mouth with some difficulty.
"What's going on?" Yoon Ji-hye is now in a state of heightened tension, her entire being on edge.
"Doctor just asked me to fill out the registration form." Yun Xian said, pausing here. Kim Tae-hee, on the other hand, immediately stopped what he was doing and frowned at his younger brother.
"The column for the father's name and information is blank." Yoon Hyun felt that Kim Tae Hee's gaze was a bit piercing, so he turned his face away to avoid her eyes, but still continued to say: "This doesn't matter. But the child's name, according to custom, should be chosen by the elders in the family. When do you plan on telling your father?"
"You're also considered a senior to the child, so it's okay for you to name him." Yoon Ji-hye's face turned very bad.
"What's his surname then?" Yun Xian still didn't plan on letting her sister off.
"The boy will take your surname and the girl will take mine," said Yoon Ji-hye.
Yin Xian suddenly admired his sister with all his heart.
"Xiao Xian, you go out with Heng Zhu for a while." Jin Tai Xi put down the fruit and fruit knife in his hand and said to Yin Xian and Jin Heng Zhu.
Kim Heng-ju, who was standing nearby, also overheard the conversation between Yoon Hyun and Yoon Ji-hye. He let out a helpless sigh and turned to leave the room. Yoon Hyun looked at Kim Tae-hee with some awkwardness in his eyes, rubbed the back of his head, and walked out of the door.
It wasn't until about an hour later that Kim Tae-hee let them in.
Yoon Ji-hye's face was calm, as if nothing had happened, but Kim Tae-hee's eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
"Tai Xi sister..." Yoon Hyun felt quite embarrassed.
"It's none of your business." Kim Tae-hee shook her head.
"Sister, I will still call Father." Yoon Hyun thought for a moment and gritted his teeth as he said.
"Even if you don't hit me, I will still hit you. But it's definitely after the child is a month old." Yoon Ji-hye remained calm.
Yin Xian nodded slightly and didn't say anything.
Things went more smoothly than expected afterwards. Yoon Ji-hye reacted a few hours before the due date and was then wheeled into the operating room.
Yoon Hyun and Kim Tae-hee were wandering around the operating room door like headless flies.
However, thanks to Yoon Ji-hye's dancing fortune, her physical condition was not bad, and the child was born smoothly, a little girl. According to Yoon Ji-hye's intention, she naturally followed her surname, and the name was waiting for the child's grandfather to give it.
Yoon Ji-hye, who had just given birth, was in a state of exhaustion, but she still insisted on calling her father before resting.
As Yin Xian had expected, there was no angry roar or endless questioning on the other end of the phone.
"Alright, take care of yourself." His father left him with just these few words.
But Yoon Ji-hye's face was filled with a happy smile.
I'm a mom now!
Yin Xian's face was even more complicated: this mess, how can it be cleaned up?
