Honest Idol of a Maiden

  Yoon Hyun did not react to Park Ki-woong's signature, and politely accepted it with a bow.

  Finished the trip in the United States and returned home, half of the summer vacation had passed, and the World Cup in Germany had ended as scheduled. Yin Xian's account had also increased by a large sum of money.

  After thanking football as usual, Yoon Hyun transferred the rest of the money to a bank account opened in the US when he went to the US this time and entrusted the bank to manage the fund.

  Yoon Hyun is now also considered a person with overseas assets!

  But since there won't be any more opportunities to go abroad and have fun, Yoon Hyun decided to advance into his own graduate student identity: rewriting his master's thesis from his previous life.

  Those who doubt whether they can rewrite their own papers are likely to have plagiarized most of them.

  Anyway, Yin Xian finished writing the article in just 5 days.

  After printing out the paper and handing it over to the designated supervisor for next semester, who is also the head of the philosophy department, he should now be only one credit away from getting his master's degree...

  The department head was still quite calm when he received his thesis. But after reading it...

  After handing in a thesis, Yin Xian was not satisfied and poured out the remaining papers that had been accumulated for his Ph.D. graduation, along with his study of composition, and summer vacation passed by like this.

  Sister Yoon Ji-hye, after giving birth to the child, was forced by her mother to move back to her parents' house, also for the convenience of taking care of little Hyeon-ji. So, if it wasn't for the call from the professor, he would have almost forgotten that school is about to start soon.

  The graduate student's credit requirements were not many, so Yoon Hyun habitually arranged them into a semester course schedule. What surprised Yoon Hyun was that the department head, who was his supervisor, remained silent about this and did not worry at all that he would fall behind in his studies.

  But when Yin Xian saw the article he had given to his supervisor published in a magazine with himself as the sole author, he suddenly understood that his supervisor had already recognized his ability, and a sense of being trusted also surged up in his heart.

  What surprised Yīn Xián even more was that after the start of school, each and every teacher in class treated him extremely well, with words that even showed sufficient respect, which made Yīn Xián feel deeply honored.

  He himself was unaware that his article in the previous life was unknown and had no backing from a Seoul University philosophy department head for a very good reason.

  But anyway, Yoon Hyun believed that this semester in school shouldn't be too difficult for him.

  School things didn't have much trouble, and the heartache that Yin Xian brought back from the US became even more unbearable.

  Yoon Hyun used to rarely go shopping or engage in other street activities, but now he suddenly likes various commercial coffee shops and often goes alone when he has nothing to do, finds a window seat, and sits there for an afternoon.

  Just for daydreaming.

  Maybe it's because of the year and a half of composition study that has yielded some results, when daydreaming, Yin Xian always habitually finds a pen and paper to write down those melodies stored in his mind from past lives, then hums them softly to himself.

  As the papers piled up, it had been more than a month's work, and Yin Xian found that his bedroom was actually stacked with a thick stack.

  It turns out that this otaku was also a music lover in his past life!

  Yin Xian spent a whole evening sorting out all the songs he had written, categorizing them into already published, soon to be published and estimated not yet written. He was surprised to find that he had nearly 30 works that could be "stolen" under his own name.

  My mood suddenly became very complicated.

  Because he discovered some facts that might have been hidden in his past life.

  A person who likes football, games and chatting online, doesn't like Korean or Japanese pop culture, and has always looked down on singers from talent shows, why is he so particular about music?

  Could it be that I still have a musical dream?

  At this time, Pan Jiwen's suggestion echoed in his mind again. Along with that was the voice of his previous life, which was as hoarse as a male duck.

  Is it just fear?

  That night, Yoon Hyun did not sleep.

  But some problems can't be figured out in just one night.

  So Yoon Hyun had a hard time sleeping for a month straight.

  So much so that he was finally startled by his mother who was concentrating on taking care of her granddaughter at home due to lack of sleep and lack of energy.

  So one weekend, Yoon Hyun was told to go home for dinner.

  Although Yin Xian didn't have a formal job, he still carried a large number of things back to his mother's home like a son returning home for a visit.

  During this time, her sister happened to be living with their mother, so she naturally appeared at the dinner table for this family gathering.

  "What's wrong with you lately?" Her mother's words were gentle, but the tone of reproach was also evident.

  "There's nothing, I just didn't sleep very well." Yoon Hyun replied vaguely.

  "Is there something on your mind? Do you have a crush on a girl?" The mother had been very interested in this topic since she started taking care of her little grandson.

  "No." Yoon Hyun looked a bit embarrassed.

  "What's on your mind? Tell Mom about it." There was a hint of disappointment in her mother's tone.

  "It was just that I suddenly discovered I had some interest in music, and for a while I was a bit confused." Yoon Hyun thought for a moment, deciding to tell the truth, this wasn't something to be ashamed of.

  "Music? You want to learn dance?" Yoon Ji-hye's eyes sparkled when she heard that.

  "No, it's singing. But I really don't have any experience..." Yoon Hyun explained, "And now I'm still in school anyway..."

  "So there are some entanglements, right?" Mother said with her usual warmth.

  "Yes, mom." Yoon Hyun nodded very seriously.

  "Do you think you really like singing?"

  "I don't know, that's why I'm so confused." Yoon Hyun thought for a moment and said honestly: "A while ago, I wrote some songs...and then suddenly found myself still having some interest in it. But if I were to make this into a career, I'm not sure if I can persist."

  "Mother was silent for a moment, then said: 'To become a singer, what do you need to learn, do you know?'"

  "I actually don't know." Yoon Hyun replied somewhat helplessly.

  "Singing, dancing, acting." Yoon Ji-hye replied for him.

  Her mother nodded and continued: "Are you interested in these things?"

  Yin Xian thought carefully and it seemed that none of them interested him very much, so he shook his head.

  "Are you willing to put everything else aside and learn these things in order to realize your dream of singing?" her mother asked again.

  Yoon Hee fell silent.

  His mother didn't say anything else, and this family dinner returned to its normal rhythm.

  After dinner, his mother didn't keep Yoon Hyun at home for long, but instead drove him out of the house as soon as he finished eating.

  Yin Xian didn't rush to go back, his mother's continuous questioning just now indeed made him have a lot of feelings. The little person in his heart called giving up started to take the upper hand again. So he wandered aimlessly.

  The phone suddenly rang. Yin Xian took it out and looked at it, and the caller was Lin Yun'er.

  "Yoon-ah, how did you think of calling me?" Whenever Yoon Hyun thought of this lively girl, his mood would become extremely good.

  "Uncle, are you wearing a light yellow outfit today?"

  "What? How did you know?"

  "Hehe, I'm Lin Yun'er, who knows everything!"

  "Where are you...?" Yoon Hyun started turning his head to look for the person behind him, vaguely seeing two girls walking side by side, one of whom was on the phone.

  "See me?" Lin Yun'er said with a wave of her hand.

  Yin Xian smiled and hung up the phone, then walked away.

  "Long time no see, uncle." Lin Yuner patted Yun Hyun's shoulder without any reserve. Since they last exchanged text messages, Lin Yuner would occasionally send Yun Hyun some texts to chat about this and that. Although they hadn't met in person again, it felt like they were old friends.

  "Long time no see, Yoon-ah!" Yeon-hyeon smiled and greeted Lim Yoon-ah, then also waved at the girl standing next to her: "Hello, I'm Lim Yoon-ah's friend, Yeon-hyeon."

  "Hello, senior. My name is Xu Zhuoxian. We've met before." The little girl bowed 90 degrees to Yoon Hyun.

  "Have you seen her?" Yoon Hyun looked at the little girl carefully and felt a sense of familiarity, "Sorry, I can't quite recall."

  "Oh, it was at K bookstore. At that time, senior bought a lot of books on composition." Xu Zhuoxian said.

  "Oh! You're the little girl who was holding the piano score!" Yun Xian suddenly remembered.

  "Seniors, I'm not a little girl anymore." Xu Zhuoxian puffed out her cheeks in slight anger.

  Yoon Hyun thinks he's been charmed. Too cute!

  And in his memory, there was information about this little girl with Lin Yun'er.

  "Have you been busy lately?" Yoon Hyun turned his head and started talking to Lim Yoon-ah.

  "Well, it's just that the company has some other arrangements for me recently, so I don't have time to audition anymore." Lin Yuner said, "I have a lot of classes like singing and dancing."

  "I told you to work harder on this earlier, if only you had listened to me then, you wouldn't be so tired now." Yin Xian's tone was tinged with a bit of reproach and concern.

  "Hey, uncle, you're really nagging. If it wasn't for Zhu Xian recognizing your back today, I wouldn't even bother saying hello to you." Lin Yun'er muttered somewhat discontentedly.

  "Xu Zhu Xian? We've only met once, right?" Yun Xian was a bit surprised.

  "You're now half an idol to our Zhū Xiān. It's weird that she recognized you." Lín Yǔnér said with some disdain.

  "Yoon-ah, it's not like that. Yoon Hyun-ji is a Seoul University..." Joo-heon tried to explain with a serious face, but was cut off by Lin Yoon-ah with a wave of her hand.

  "I don't care why you're concerned about him." Lin Yuner gave Yun Hyun a cold glance.

  Yoon Hyun was somewhat surprised and turned his head to look at Joo Hee, who had a serious face on. His gaze fell onto her eyes.

  Unlike Lin Yuner's lively eyes, Xu Zhuoxian's eyes still looked like the impression of more than a year ago, clear.

  It's even dazzling.

  Yoon Hyun lightly coughed and said, "Thank you, Joo Hee."

  "It's not like that. I really admire Park Ki-jeon, and I want to become a diplomat." Xujuzheng finally said what she wanted to say.

  "Uh..." Yun Xian suddenly felt a sense of tragic sadness for having misread the situation.

  Lin Yun'er was laughing so hard on one side that she almost fell to the ground.

  "Ah, Yun'er, you're doing it on purpose, aren't you!" Yin Xian was slightly irritated.

  "What does it have to do with me?!" Lin Yun'er naturally wouldn't admit it.

  "I've also heard a lot about Yoon Hyun-ji's things. I'm also very impressed that seniors can graduate from Seoul University so early." Xujuhyan explained with a red face.

  Yoon Hyun didn't think Xu Zhuo Xian's explanation had any significance in relieving his embarrassment, but he was still grateful for her good intentions and nodded slightly before focusing on despising Lin Yun Er.

  "How's your composition going, senior?" Xu Zhu Xian looked at Lin Yun Er and Yoon Hyun's similar chatting way, still a little envious in her heart, so she chimed in.

  "Uh... I'll try to write some songs." Yoon Hyun had a hard time following Joo Hee's train of thought.

  "Really? Uncle, don't you have a song for lovely Yoon-ah?" Yoon-ah said jokingly.

  Yoon Hyun thought for a moment and shook his head. He did have a song by Girls' Generation, the divine song "GEE".

  "Yoon-ah, composing isn't something you can learn quickly, and it's not easy to find a song that suits Yoon-ah's voice either. So don't make things difficult for Yun Hyun-joon sunbae." Joo Hee-jin intervened from the side.

  "Joo-heon, you don't have to keep calling me sunbae all the time, it's a bit embarrassing. Just call me oppa and that's fine." Yunhyeon said without thinking.

  "Oh, okay, Yun Hyun OPPA." Joo Heon changed his words obediently.

  "Uncle! What do you mean!" Lin Yun'er almost instantly understood Yin Xian's meaning.

  "There's no point. Joo-hyun has always called me 'senior', I feel a bit embarrassed." Yoon Hyun is naturally not admitting it.

  "Ah, are you forcing me to call you OPPA too?" Lin Yun'er said angrily.

  "You can call me uncle from now on, it's quite endearing." Yoon Hyun said with a smirk.

  Xu Zhu Xian finally understood what Yoon Hyun meant, originally wanted to speak up for Lim Yoon Ah but seeing the two arguing so fiercely was quite interesting, so she just smiled and didn't say anything.

  "Xu Zhuoxian, you've learned bad things!" Lin Yun'er also naturally saw Xu Zhuoxian's reaction and angrily rubbed Xu Zhuoxian's head.

  Xu Zhu Xian's originally smooth and straight long hair suddenly became a bird's nest.

  "Yoon-ah," Yoon Hyun-jin looked at the two little girls playing and his mood improved a lot, "How's your preparation for debut? Are you confident now?"

  "What? How did you know I was going out?" Lin Yun'er was stunned for a moment.

  "Should be next year, right?" Yoon Hyun rummaged through the data in his brain and said in a pretentious tone, "Ah, it should be a girl group, right? Is Joo-hyun also in it?"

  "Yeah, maybe there will be ten people." Lin Yuner nodded and then asked: "How do you know? You're not from our company either."

  "I just know." Yoon Hyun continued to tap his forehead with a sly expression and said, "Still uncoordinated limbs now?"

  "Ah! Uncle! Ah, OPPA! You're the one who's uncoordinated!" Lin Yuner blew up.

  "Learn from your teammates who dance well, don't drag them down." Yin Xian said the heartwarming words that Mingming had said, in a very sarcastic tone.

  Lin Yun'er has gone crazy.

  "Yoon Hyun OPPA, don't push Yoon Ah anymore." Joo Hee finally couldn't take it, "Yoon Ah is really concerned about this, she's already tried her best. She practiced almost all night yesterday."

  Lin Yun'er heard Xu Zhuoxian say this and almost immediately calmed down.

  Yoon Hyun found Lim Yoon-ah's eyes a bit red.

  This girl isn't easy to deal with either. Yeon Hyeon suddenly had such a feeling. From 05, when he first saw her, she was always busy attending auditions for various TV dramas and movies, trying again and again. Due to limited acting skills or lack of opportunities, almost every next day, she would re-energize herself and throw herself into the next effort.

  Some vague information in his memory, combined with his understanding of her over the past year or so, made him suddenly regret the joke he had just made.

  "Yoon-ah." Yoon Hee adjusted her tone, "Oppa just said something a bit harsh, but it's for your own good."

  But this explanation was obviously not a good thing, and Lin Yun'er's tears fell.

  "From the first time I saw you at the audition, OPPA was convinced that you would become a big star. So naturally, there are high expectations for you. You need to be able to sing well, dance well, and act really well, all of which require real talent." Yoon Hyun continued with what he thought was a good explanation, but it was clearly hurtful.

  "You've been working hard and making progress, which is great, but we all know you're still not doing well enough, right?"

  "Yoon Hyun OPPA, don't persuade people like that." Lin Yuner herself couldn't help but interrupt.

  "Uh... I'm not really good at this. But Yoon-ah...", Yun Hyun said, pulling out a sketchbook from his bag that he used to record songs and handing it over to Lim Yoon-ah, "Help me sign my name, just write: This is Lim Yoon-ah's first autograph."

  "Oh? Why?" Lin Yun'er's tears had stopped, but her eyes were still red.

  "So in the future when Yoon-ah becomes a big star, I can sell this and it'll be worth a lot of money!" Yun-hyun said with a smile.

  Lin Yun'er glared fiercely at Yoon Hyun for a moment. But still took it and wrote very seriously:

  To a certain hurtful uncle: This is the first autograph of the invincible cute beauty, if you dare to take it out and sell it for money, I won't let you off! Lin Yuner.

  Then he also seriously wrote down the date.

  "Yu Xuan also gave me one?" Yin Xuan handed over a sketchbook and directly passed it to Xu Zhu Xuan.

  "Huh? Me? Does OPPA think I'll be famous too?" Xujuxian was somewhat surprised.

  "Of course, you and Yoon-ah debuted together, so naturally you'll become members of the most popular girl group in all of Korea... no, all of Asia!" Yun-hyun thought for a moment, holding back from saying "the whole world", "You'll be even more popular than Shinhwa and H.O.T.!"

  "Is Oppa really thinking like this?" Xu Zhu Xian asked with a serious face.

  "Of course! With you, Yoon-ah, and... so many other great girls, you'll definitely become the best." Yun Hyun almost mentioned Kim Tae-yeon and Jung Soo-young's names, but managed to hold it back.

  Xu Zhu Xian nodded and seriously signed her own name.

  "Yoon Hyun OPPA, have you ever thought of entering the entertainment industry too?" As she handed her autograph to Yoon Hyun, Joo Hee asked casually, "I think OPPA has great potential in this area."

  Yin Xian was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

  "This... who knows?" Yoon Hyun's smile seemed very radiant.
