Chapter 8

That kind of power cannot be described in words; it is a support, a trust, and a firm, unyielding belief. In that instant, Kim Tae-yeon felt that the man before her was someone she could rely on... Only then did Tae-yeon have the time to carefully observe the boy, no, the man in front of her. He was humorous, witty, profound, and seemed to become more handsome the more she looked at him.

When Kim Tae-yeon shook hands with Lee Yoo-ho, she continued to thank him with a smile, "Thank you so much, really!!" Lee Yoo-ho also smiled and replied, "Remember to give me a kickback... hehe..."

Hearing this, Tae-yeon laughed again, "Pfft~~~ Okay." With a strong sense of determination, Tae-yeon said to Lee Yoo-ho, "When we win our next position, I, no, the entire 'Girls' Generation' will treat you to a big meal!!" Seeing Tae-yeon's transformation, Lee Yoo-ho smiled warmly. This was the true 'majestic style,' the 'Girls' Generation' in his heart, the 'Girls' Generation' who never give up!!!

Lee Yoo-ho then smiled and extended his hand to Pani. Pani also smiled at Lee Yoo-ho with her signature smile, "Thank you, 'Doctor' Lee Yoo-ho xi!!" Lee Yoo-ho humorously replied, "Pani, remember to pay the surgery fee."

"Ha ha ha... Surgery fee, and a tip? Are doctors nowadays all so... shameless?" Tae-yeon almost blurted out the word 'shameless,' but she managed to stop herself in time.

Lee Yoo-ho smiled and said, "I've got your phone back. Tae-yeon, Pani, you two should go back to the dormitory early. It's not safe for you to be out... When you called yesterday, I was on the bus, and because Tae-yeon's ringtone was your song, I got scolded by two high school girls."

Hearing that Lee Yoo-ho was 'implicated' because of a ringtone, the two of them frowned tightly. They had always felt guilty about the incident and the injuries sustained by their SONEs. They never thought that a ringtone could be so hated. They also felt deeply apologetic to Lee Yoo-ho.

"Oh? You got scolded? I'm sorry... But we will work hard so that in the future, people won't curse when they hear our songs. 'Doctor'... believe in us." Lee Yoo-ho was mysteriously given the nickname 'Doctor' by the two girls.

"Of course I believe in you. You are butterflies that have flown out of our hospital, and I will watch you dance gracefully on stage. Come, I'll take you to the taxi." Lee Yoo-ho knew that the current situation of Girls' Generation meant they couldn't stay outside for long. If anything went wrong, he couldn't afford the responsibility.

Lee Yoo-ho took them out of the cafe and helped them hail a taxi. After Pani got in, she asked Lee Yoo-ho, "Doctor, can I send you messages and call you?" Lee Yoo-ho smiled and said, "Of course, anytime." "Then don't ignore my messages or not answer my calls. Bye-bye."

Lee Yoo-ho nodded and waved to the two girls, "Bye-bye!!" After the two girls left, Lee Yoo-ho said, "Sigh... really frustrating, talking for so long, giving so much advice, but I drank all the water myself. Let's go, to the cafeteria for lunch, filling my stomach is the truth."

In the car, Tae-yeon and Pani were definitely talking about Lee Yoo-ho. Tae-yeon said with a sour tone, "Don't ignore my calls~~~" Hearing Tae-yeon's tone, Pani blushed, "Hey!! What are you doing, imitating my words?"

"Ha ha ha... Right, Pani, what do you think of Lee Yoo-ho?"

Pani tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Although we only met for a short time, being with him feels very natural, like we've known each other for a long time... He is humorous, witty, sunny, and good at giving advice, but his advice isn't those old clichés..."

At this moment, Tae-yeon smiled and looked at Pani, who was lost in her memories of Lee Yoo-ho. Tae-yeon suddenly said, "And he is tall and handsome, right?"

"Um, um. Tall and handsome." Pani immediately nodded in agreement with Tae-yeon's words, but when she realized it... "Hey!! Kim Tae-yeon..."

Tae-yeon also laughed, "What? You dare to say 'hey' to me? You're dead..." The 'perverted' Tae-yeon started to tease Pani, who could only dodge and beg for mercy, "Tae-yeon, I'm sorry. I'm wrong, I shouldn't have said 'hey,' please... let me go."

...

When Tae-yeon and Pani returned to the dormitory, Sunny immediately came up to ask, "Did you see that foreigner? Did he look like Brad Pitt?"

"Pfft~~~" Tae-yeon burst out laughing. Seeing Tae-yeon laugh, Sunny looked disappointed, "No way? Really, did Kim Hyo-yeon guess right? Did he look like 'Gandhi'??"

Hearing 'Gandhi,' Pani also laughed, "Ha ha ha... Sunny, 'Doctor' is actually a Korean-Chinese." Hearing Pani call Lee Yoo-ho xi so affectionately, Sunny knew there was a story behind it.

Sitting nearby, Kwon Yu-ri was also surprised, "Doctor? Is he from Seoul National University's medical school?" The profession of a doctor is very popular in Korea, with stable work and high income.

"I don't know, I didn't ask. Everyone, come over, this high-achieving student from Seoul National University told us a story. I'll relay it to you..."

Hearing Tae-yeon's words, everyone gathered in the living room to listen to the story... After the story was relayed, all the members of Girls' Generation were laughing uncontrollably, "What... plastic surgery, and asking for a kickback. This person is so funny, he could be a comedian."

Pani also laughed, "At the time, we were also laughing uncontrollably, but we overlooked the deeper meaning. Later, he told us..." When Pani finished telling everyone what Lee Yoo-ho had said, everyone fell silent. No one could laugh anymore... A small story gave them an intangible strength.

The story sparked the curiosity of the other members of Girls' Generation about Lee Yoo-ho. Everyone wanted to meet this 'surgeon' who had given them strength.

...

That afternoon, after having lunch at the cafeteria and preparing to go home, Lee Yoo-ho received a call from Park Soo-yeon, "Lee Yoo-ho, where are you?"

"Where? Of course, I'm at school. What's up? You miss me already after such a short time?" Lee Yoo-ho teased Park Soo-yeon on the phone.

"Cut the jokes, do you have time now? Our company president wants to talk to you about the song."

"Oh? Now? Sure, I'll come to your company. Send me the address."

Making money was urgent for Lee Yoo-ho. If he could sell this song early and have it published, it would not only solve his financial problems but also bring him some fame.

After hanging up, Lee Yoo-ho waited for Park Soo-yeon to send him the address. 'Ding dong,' a text message notification sounded, and Lee Yoo-ho looked at the address before setting off.

Lee Yoo-ho arrived at the entrance of CoreCentensMedia, where Park Soo-yeon was already waiting for him. Seeing Lee Yoo-ho walking over leisurely, she immediately greeted him, "Why did it take so long? Come, I'll take you to the president's office."

Lee Yoo-ho smiled, "Hehe, let's go. I didn't expect CCM to be so efficient. You agreed in the morning, and now you're calling me in the afternoon."

"Lee Yoo-ho, because I didn't listen to the song thoroughly, they might ask you to sing it on the spot. Is that okay?"

Lee Yoo-ho smiled and replied, "No problem, I can sing it." Since he hadn't made a demo, he needed to show the effect to them, otherwise, why would they buy his song?

Park Soo-yeon led Lee Yoo-ho to the president's office and knocked on the door. A man's voice came from inside, "Come in." Park Soo-yeon led Lee Yoo-ho in and bowed to Kim Kwang-soo, "President, my friend is here."

Kim Kwang-soo also sized up Lee Yoo-ho and smiled, "Please sit. Park Soo-yeon, please ask Yangpa and Lee Hae-ri to come up." Yangpa was one of the earliest debut artists at CCM, and he was called to evaluate the song and determine its value.

Park Soo-yeon nodded and gave Lee Yoo-ho a reassuring look before leaving. Kim Kwang-soo then smiled and said, "May I ask your name?"

Lee Yoo-ho calmly smiled and said, "President Kim Kwang-soo, hello. My name is Lee Yoo-ho. I am a fourth-year student in the economics department at Seoul National University, and I participate in the music club." By mentioning that he was from Seoul National University's economics department, Lee Yoo-ho was hinting to Kim Kwang-soo not to underestimate him. He also indicated that he had the musical talent to create the song himself.

Hearing Lee Yoo-ho's words, Kim Kwang-soo smiled, "Oh? A high-achieving student from Seoul National University? And in the economics department..."
