As Jin Taeyeon was about to step into the school gate, she raised her head and squinted to look at the four characters of Yangzhi Middle School. This made Li Yayuan, who was beside her, look strange, yet she didn't dare to say anything. Ever since she told her senior everything about herself, Jin Taeyeon had never been so angry with her before. She almost broke off their friendship. Li Yayuan was scared because she had never seen Jin Taeyeon so serious.
After Li Yayuan begged for forgiveness with tears again, her attitude towards her these days had been like this. She no longer dared to make any sarcastic remarks, even though Jin Taeyeon had never been the type to hold a grudge. However, when they passed by Class 2-3, Jin Taeyeon's action of peering into the classroom made Li Yayuan unable to hold back.
"Are you looking for Jinyou?" Jin Taeyeon was taken aback, frowned, and turned to look at Li Yayuan. Li Yayuan also frowned at her. Jin Taeyeon paused, then tapped her on the head and stepped into the classroom first. Jin Taeyeon was angry that she had told everything to someone else just because of a few words from her senior.
It was obvious that the senior never intended to make her the vice president of the literary club, and she herself didn't have the time to deal with these things. Not to mention the S.M. audition she would participate in next year, if she really became a trainee, she wouldn't have to attend classes as much. Although she wouldn't have the same leniency as the only trainee who didn't need to attend classes at all, at least she wouldn't have to struggle so much, balancing her studies and practice.
Looking at Li Yayuan who sat beside her, Jin Taeyeon shook her head helplessly. Moreover, only this silly girl would fall for it so easily. The senior was clearly trying to get information, wanting to understand her relationship with Jinyou. And she herself didn't care about the position of vice president of the literary club, even if it meant extra points.
If she became a trainee and successfully debuted, she would get even more points for university admission and could be admitted as a special talent. Besides, she didn't have any particular expectations for going to university. The extra points for high school admission meant even less to her.
So Jin Taeyeon didn't tell this silly girl that the only trainee with an IQ of 160 and the top student in the school already knew about her crush. She was still naive enough to think he didn't know. The senior probably understood her feelings but didn't care at all.
Only she was so unlucky. She had no feelings for him, didn't even know him well, and hadn't spoken to him much, yet her friend and senior both misunderstood that she had a special relationship with him. The senior saw her as a thorn in her side, and this only friend of hers occasionally hurt her.
Squinting her eyes, Jin Taeyeon was lost in thought. She gripped her pen a little tighter. But today, perhaps she would do something that would surprise both those who were close to her and those who hated her. Tomorrow was the start of the school anniversary event, and they should clarify things. She had been patient, waiting for him to speak up about his troubles, but he didn't. Was she really going to be a sidekick?
In her interactions with others, she could be very accommodating and could avoid many things, but in singing, she absolutely wouldn't allow such things to happen. Was he really that kind of person? Seeming generous and well-mannered but not liking others to outshine him? She didn't believe he was that kind of person; he must have his reasons.
So let's clarify things. She wouldn't say this to others because they didn't understand singing or music. But she believed he understood, and he would understand her feelings. She could perform better, and they could cooperate better, even competing to make the song more perfect. Why? Why was he holding back the song and, by extension, her?
Jin Taeyeon kept thinking about these things, which seemed like a moment to her but felt like a long time to others. She thought about it for the entire class period until the bell rang. The students stood up to see the teacher off, and Li Yayuan turned to ask Jin Taeyeon what she had brought for lunch. But in the time it took to turn around, Jin Taeyeon was already at the door.
Li Yayuan subconsciously followed her and saw Jin Taeyeon heading straight for Class 2-3. She peered inside, squinting her nearsighted eyes to scan the room. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she saw a figure lying on a desk. Jin Taeyeon was sure it was the same clothes he wore yesterday. She called a student to ask him to call Jinyou out.
The student was a boy, and recently, Jin Taeyeon had gained some fame due to her collaboration with Jinyou. He shook Jinyou's shoulder, and Jinyou sat up, a bit dazed. Seeing Jin Taeyeon at the door, his eyes changed, and he pursed his lips, then turned over and went back to sleep. Jin Taeyeon's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Jinyou.
The student who called Jinyou also stood there, mouth agape. After a moment, he shook Jinyou again, and Jinyou sat up reluctantly, rubbing his face and walking to the door. Jin Taeyeon frowned slightly, but the corners of her mouth twitched. Seeing Jinyou come out, she nodded and bowed, "I need to talk to you about something..." Jinyou squinted and smiled, "Let's talk here."
Jin Taeyeon frowned even more but didn't say much, "Let's talk somewhere else, here..." Jinyou chuckled, "Your friends are watching, don't you want to avoid being misunderstood?" Jin Taeyeon turned her head instinctively and saw Li Yayuan looking at them strangely from a distance. She paused, then looked at Jinyou calmly, "I'm not joking, I have something serious to talk to you about."
Jinyou shrugged, "It's serious, right? We've worked together a few times, and I've never seen you..." "How long do you want to change the subject?" The surrounding noise suddenly quieted down, and the passing students looked at the two of them. Jinyou looked around, then waved his hand and turned, "Let's talk over there."
"I believe you're not that kind of person! But I'm tired of your behavior!" Jin Taeyeon glared up at him. Li Yayuan even rubbed her eyes in disbelief. Was this still the petite, somewhat timid and reserved Jin Taeyeon who was always polite? When did she become so assertive?
Jinyou was at a loss, "Jin Taeyeon, didn't you say you wanted to talk over there?" "Did you go?" Jin Taeyeon glared at him, "You're dodging the issue! You always do this, relying on being a trainee, singing well, and everything else. You want everything to go your way, ignoring others' opinions. I wanted to talk over there, but you didn't go. Now you want to go, but I don't want to!"
Jinyou laughed and waved his hand, "OK! OK! Take it easy. If you want to talk here, I'll listen." Jin Taeyeon glared at him, "I don't believe you don't understand that raising 'Love Song' by two octaves would be better. I've heard you sing and discussed music with you. You know more than I do. I'm sure you understand my suggestion is correct. But you still insist on disagreeing, even knowing it limits my voice and prevents the best performance. Don't avoid it today, give me a valid reason."
Jinyou scratched his head and sighed helplessly. He guessed it would be this, and indeed, he couldn't avoid it. After a moment, he looked around at the students pointing and whispering, squinted, and stepped aside, "Let's talk somewhere else, I'll tell you the reason." Jin Taeyeon stubbornly shook her head, "No, right here. I don't want you to avoid it anymore. Whatever the reason, as long as it's reasonable, I'll cooperate. But if it's unreasonable, I won't compromise."
Jinyou was at a loss, realizing that he had really upset this usually honest and introverted girl. Just as he was about to persuade her to leave, a voice behind him made his eyebrows furrow. It seemed that when things happened all at once, he had to deal with one first and put the other on hold.
"What's going on, Jinyou... Jin Taeyeon? Why are you making a scene here?" Song Hyein and Liu Shangmin walked down, and the surrounding students instinctively made way. After all, they were seniors, and the president of the literary club, and everyone knew their relationship with Jinyou. Jin Taeyeon instinctively stepped back, bowed her head, and greeted them, "Seniors."
Jinyou laughed and waved his hand, "Nothing, nothing... Taeyeon, let's talk somewhere else." Song Hyein grabbed Jinyou, frowned at Jin Taeyeon, "What do you mean, talk somewhere else? I heard what you said." Liu Shangmin leaned in and huffed, "What? You think you're good at singing, so you start criticizing Jinyou?"
The atmosphere became a bit awkward, but the surrounding students were more excited. The monotonous school life needed more than just the school anniversary to liven things up. The more intense, the better.
