Chapter 91

Outside Yoon Hyun's car, there were still quite a few fans around, so Lin Yuner also put on the demeanor of an idol, waved to the fans, and then quickly got into the car.

"Hey, big star Yuner, give me an autograph!" Yoon Hyun looked at Lin Yuner wearing a pair of sunglasses and teased her with a smile.

"OPPA, you're just making fun of me." Lin Yuner took off her sunglasses and gave Yoon Hyun a glare. They had won a position today, and their mood was quite good.

"I wouldn't dare to joke." Yoon Hyun said seriously, "Just now, your Sone threatened me, saying that if I didn't stay away from you, they would make me pay!"

"Hey, OPPA, I'm sorry!" Lin Yuner was startled when she heard this. After the Black Sea incident, Girls' Generation had become particularly sensitive to anything involving their fans.

Especially since Lin Yuner had offended many people due to a particularly impulsive private fan.

"It's fine. I was just teasing you." Yoon Hyun saw Lin Yuner's nervous look and realized he had gone too far, so he quickly calmed down: "Actually, those fans were quite friendly and wanted me to write songs for you."

"Hey! OPPA! You scared me to death!" Lin Yuner slapped Yoon Hyun, "Don't joke about this in the future. I'm already scared to death."

"It's fine, don't blame them. On the contrary, you should thank them today. Because of those girls, I decided to write a song for you." Yoon Hyun said with a smile.

"Hmph, who needs your song!" Lin Yuner was taken aback for a moment, then glared at Yoon Hyun. However, the smile on her face showed that she didn't really mean it.

"Oh, then, Su-yeon, you can tell the company for me to reject Kim Young-min and the others. Say that Girls' Generation's Yuner-xi doesn't need my song, so I won't embarrass myself." Yoon Hyun said with a smile.

"Hey!" Lin Yuner was furious.

Yoon Hyun burst out laughing.

"OPPA, you really agreed to write a song for us?" Lin Yuner was curious.

"I haven't replied to Kim Young-min yet. But just now, I thought I could write another song for you, for those girls." Yoon Hyun thought for a moment and said, "But your company is also asking me to write a song for SHINee. I haven't decided whether to agree yet."

"Thank you, OPPA." Lin Yuner bowed seriously to Yoon Hyun.

"Don't thank me. Thank your CEO. He really spends a lot of money on you."

"How much is this song worth?"

"Six hundred million."

"How much??" Lin Yuner looked at Yoon Hyun in disbelief, more willing to believe she had heard wrong.

"Six hundred million. So I'm under a lot of pressure!" Yoon Hyun sighed.

Lin Yuner, who had been confirmed, took a long time to recover and sighed, "We are under even more pressure..."

"It's fine. I'll treat it as a bet I lost to Yu Yong-jin, it has nothing to do with you." Yoon Hyun could see that Lin Yuner's words were completely sincere. Her face stiffened the moment she heard Yoon Hyun's reply.

Even the smile in her eyes disappeared.

"Are you not going to write a good song for us?"

"The quality of my songs will be judged by others, you don't need to worry. I wonder who it was that refused to sing my songs before... Oh well..." Yoon Hyun brought up old grievances.

"Hey!" Lin Yuner was furious.

The tension in the car caused by the sky-high quote was dispelled by their jokes.

When Lin Yuner, dressed in a black long dress, appeared on the red carpet of the Baeksang Arts Awards, arm in arm with Yoon Hyun, she attracted a lot of attention.

Although the Baeksang Arts Awards are for television and film, the fact that these two singers won the Best Popularity Award this year also shows that the entertainment industry is increasingly blurring the lines between different types of artists.

Lin Yuner, with her tall figure, beautiful face, and lively eyes, has always been a favorite of advertisers.

Yoon Hyun, on the other hand, had a major turnaround this year.

Yoon Hyun has always been somewhat isolated from popularity awards, mainly due to his short, unstyled hair, his habit of never wearing makeup, and his clean but not particularly handsome face. Even his biggest fans, the kimchi fans, would avoid using words like "handsome" or "good-looking" when describing him.

The kimchi fans praised their idol as a "charismatic handsome man."

However, after tearing off his shirt and revealing his well-defined muscles, especially his eight-pack abs, which attracted the eyes of countless women, the descriptions of his appearance began to soar. Even the kimchi fans can now confidently tell the fans of S.M. Entertainment's boy groups that their Yoon Hyun OPPA is the best...

Seizing this characteristic of Yoon Hyun, the team led by Kim Su-yeon and Jeong Mi-sun began to shape Yoon Hyun's image as a wild and beastly idol.

So now, standing next to Lin Yuner, Yoon Hyun was casually dressed in a fitted suit, with only a few buttons on his shirt fastened, and his makeup emphasized the angles of his face, presenting a dashing and handsome image.

This look even surprised Yoon Hyun himself. Lin Yuner's eyes sparkled as she looked at him.

Not to mention the reporters who were used to seeing Yoon Hyun in loose, casual clothes or business suits.

It can be said that on the red carpet that night, Yoon Hyun and Lin Yuner, as a pair, consumed half of all the shutter clicks from the reporters, even more than Kim Tae-hee, who entered with Lee Byung-hun...

Because of their junior status, and the fact that Lin Yuner only won the Best Popularity Award and didn't even get a nomination for any other award, they arrived relatively early.

Entering the hall and sitting down, Yoon Hyun realized that his seat was actually next to Lin Yuner's... just separated by an aisle.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Then, members of various productions began to arrive one after another. With the final entry of the main cast of "Haeundae," the 2010 Baeksang Arts Awards officially began.

Actually, apart from the Best Popularity Award, Yoon Hyun's presence today didn't have much significance. Lee Byung-hun, who needed his support, had almost no competition in the Best Actor category for television. "Queen Seondeok" was a women's drama, so the male lead had no competitiveness, and as for "Brilliant Legacy"... Lee Seung-gi probably never even thought about winning any major awards.

On the other hand, Kim Tae-hee's nomination for Best Actress was very slim. Han Hyo-joo, Ko Hyun-jung, and even Kim Nam-ju had better chances. If it weren't for Yoon Hyun's performance in the drama, which greatly helped Kim Tae-hee, she might not have even gotten a nomination. This time, she had already performed exceptionally well, and to go further, it would really depend on luck.

For Kim Tae-hee, the only hope now was that if Ko Hyun-jung won the Grand Prize, she could still compete for Best Actress with Han Hyo-joo and Kim Nam-ju.

So Yoon Hyun was now in a dilemma.

He needed the Grand Prize to go to Lee Byung-hun, so his nomination for Best Actor would be meaningful, not only meaningful but also with a high chance of winning. But for his Tae-hee sister, he hoped the Grand Prize would go to Ko Hyun-jung, so Kim Tae-hee would have a chance to win Best Actress.

However, when Han Hyo-joo came over with a smile to greet him, his dilemma was resolved.

He would go for the Best Actor... Hyo-joo and Tae-hee sister... you'll have to bear with it...

The award ceremony went smoothly.

When it came to the Best Popularity Award, Yoon Hyun smiled and stood up, reaching out to help Lin Yuner, who was sitting on the other side of the aisle, and the two walked up to the stage together with smiles.

Unlike Yoon Hyun, who was a newcomer, Lin Yuner had won the popularity award for the second consecutive year, so she said a few words of thanks and stepped aside, then handed the microphone to Yoon Hyun.

"To be honest, I'm very happy to be standing here. There are many people to thank, so I decided not to thank them one by one." Yoon Hyun smiled and made a heart shape with his hands above his head, drawing laughter from the audience, "Actually, I want to thank one person in particular, a girl I met when I accompanied a friend to an audition before my debut. She told me she kept auditioning because she loved acting. It was because I heard that she failed nearly a thousand auditions that I became interested in acting, and that's why I'm standing here today as Yoon Hyun. I want to say, thank you! And I also want to say..." He turned his head to look at Lin Yuner, "The path of acting is one where you either advance or regress. Only by moving forward with all your might, as you did before, can you appreciate the most beautiful scenery on this path."

Amidst the applause from the audience, the two walked off the stage together.

"OPPA, are you saying I haven't improved?" As soon as the staff guiding them left, Lin Yuner asked Yoon Hyun with a hint of hurt.

Yoon Hyun's words in the first half of his acceptance speech had moved her quite a bit...

"Since 'You Are My Destiny,' the roles you've played..." Yoon Hyun shook his head, "Yuner, when I told this to Taeyeon, she said you would be angry and told me not to say it to you, but I always felt that our Lin Yuner shouldn't just be an idol, gain some fame, and then just do some ads and CFs, earn some money, and retire from the entertainment industry to get married and have children. She should be a girl with a passion for acting, who wants to become the best actress in Korea, not just a pretty face."

Lin Yuner lowered her head.

"To be honest, Yuner, I have high hopes for you, for Taeyeon, and for Seohyun. I hope you can become someone people respect when they mention you, not just a female idol." Yoon Hyun seemed to return to his previous identity, saying things that only fans might say.

Lin Yuner's tears fell onto her dress.

"I'm sorry, Yuner, I spoke too harshly." At that moment, they were in the backstage area, and busy staff members kept passing by. Seeing Lin Yuner crying, several staff members looked at Yoon Hyun with strange expressions, making him feel embarrassed.

"No, OPPA, you're right. Since last year, I've acted in some dramas, but I haven't been as dedicated as before. I'll take your words to heart. I'll work hard. Until the day you genuinely praise me." Lin Yuner bowed deeply to Yoon Hyun.

Yoon Hyun sidestepped to avoid Lin Yuner's bow and left, saying lightly, "You don't need to thank me. This is just a fan's selfish hope for their idol."
