Chapter 90: Reunion

Sob... Everyone was stunned.

The 'Queen Sica' of Girls' Generation actually buried her head in the arms of a stranger and cried. What was going on? Hearing the continuous exclamations, the singers also rushed out from the backstage, but what they saw left everyone in shock.

"Oh... My goddess..." Most of the staff on site couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts. Their goddess was crying in the arms of a stranger. This was hard for them to accept, no, they simply couldn't accept it. Moreover, they couldn't even see the man's face clearly.

The other eight members of Girls' Generation were the most shocked. Jessica, who was tightly buried in the arms of a stranger, crying, what was going on?

Since they had known Jessica, they had never seen her shed a single tear. No matter how exhausting the training, Jessica would grit her teeth and endure it. Even after seven years of training, being the oldest trainee in S.M., she never gave up. Such a strong girl crying left the other eight members speechless.

"Alright..." Under the gaze of dozens of people, even with his thick skin, Lee Yunjae couldn't bear the piercing stares, "Stop crying... It's been four years, why are you still so emotional? I'm back, and I'm not missing any limbs. Moreover, my vocal cords are healed, and I won't leave again!"

"I won't let you go again!" At this moment, Jessica was like a little girl who had found her lost doll, hugging Lee Yunjae even tighter.

Lee Yunjae was deeply moved. Even after four years, the bond between them hadn't changed due to the passage of time or the change in their status; it had only grown stronger.

"Alright, I won't leave, I promise! Stop crying, do you know how many people are watching us? Do you know how many men are staring at us like they're about to stab me? Or do you want me to keep holding you like this?" As he spoke, Lee Yunjae lifted Jessica slightly, "Hmm, it's been four years, and you've gained some weight!"

Pfft... Jessica burst into laughter, playfully hitting Lee Yunjae's chest.

Boom... Can't live... Can't live... Most of the men on site staggered.

Jessica actually acted so affectionately with a stranger. Someone pinched their thigh hard, hoping this was all a nightmare, but the sharp pain spread through every nerve, making it all too real.

"Goddess, please get down, don't torment our fragile hearts anymore!" Countless men's hearts roared.

But Jessica seemed oblivious to the men's thoughts, continuing to pummel Lee Yunjae's chest with her small fists, once, twice...

"If you keep this up... the one who will be embarrassed won't be me, but you... Let me count, at least sixty people are witnessing your affectionate moment!" Lee Yunjae said slyly.

Jessica's actions were purely out of excitement. Now, her heart gradually calmed down, and two red clouds appeared on her cheeks. Lee Yunjae smiled gently and let her down.

"Seo Yeon, are you okay?!" Realizing what was happening, Kim Tae Yeon pulled Jessica over, but in her heart, she thought, "It's too late."

"Seo Yeon, are you alright? Didn't you get scared?" The other girls also gathered around Jessica, not giving her a chance to speak. They wanted to resolve this awkward situation quickly. Jessica's sudden actions left them unprepared, and they wondered who the man was. Could he be Jessica's secret boyfriend?

At this moment, all sorts of thoughts filled the girls' minds.

"Thank you, thank you for saving Seo Yeon!" As the leader, Kim Tae Yeon deeply bowed to Lee Yunjae, a 90-degree bow.

"Ah... No need to be so formal, it's what I should do!" Lee Yunjae smiled and waved his hand.

Kim Tae Yeon was also a bit suspicious, looking up at Lee Yunjae, she suddenly paused.

"Xia Yan, hello! Meeting you for the first time under such circumstances is a bit abrupt!" Lee Yunjae showed a row of white teeth, smiling broadly.

Before Kim Tae Yeon could react, Lee Yunjae laughed and said loudly, "Yoon Ah, Soo Young, Hyo Yeon, Sulli, you haven't greeted me after four years?!"

Hearing his voice, the four of them were stunned, slowly turning to look at him.

"Oppa? Are you Yunjae oppa?" Yoon Ah asked suspiciously, but before Lee Yunjae could nod, she shouted, "Oppa, it's really you... I'm so glad to see you!"

Yoon Ah, who was already close to Lee Yunjae, ran over and threw herself into his arms, hugging him and jumping with joy, like a child who hadn't grown up.

"Oppa, where have you been for four years... We all missed you so much!" Yoon Ah said, her voice choked with happiness.

Lee Yunjae stroked her soft hair, feeling a sense of nostalgia. They had truly grown up, and he couldn't treat them like before. He said, "Yeah... I know!"

"Oppa..." Choi Soo Young shouted and ran over.

"Hey... Soo Young, can you be a bit more ladylike? Don't be so rough... You're so grown up, but your temper hasn't changed at all!" Lee Yunjae said with a faint smile.

"Oppa, you've changed a lot... Without your bangs, I almost didn't recognize you!" Choi Soo Young said, excitedly pulling Lee Yunjae's arm.

At this moment, Kwon Yu Ri also approached, "Oppa, why did you take so long to come see us... You didn't contact us after coming back..."

Hearing Kwon Yu Ri's concerned complaints, Lee Yunjae felt a warm feeling in his heart, wiping away her tears, "Yes, yes, it's my fault..."

"Oppa, you're finally back..." Kim Hyo Yeon also came over.

"Hyo Yeon... Your dancing is great... You really have my style!" Lee Yunjae laughed.

At this moment, Sulli also wanted to step forward, but her legs felt like they were filled with lead, too heavy to move. After nine years, would he still remember me? Sulli wondered.

At this moment, Lee Yunjae 'escaped' from Yoon Ah and the others, taking a few steps forward and stopping in front of Sulli.

"Sulli, it's been nine years, hasn't it? You were just a second-grader back then, and now you've grown up so much, and you're getting more beautiful!" Lee Yunjae sighed, truly amazed by how much she had changed.

"Senior... Hello..." Sulli didn't know what to say, forcing out a few words. Nine years was enough to sever many things.

Lee Yunjae chuckled, "Don't call me senior, call me oppa like Yoon Ah and the others..."

"Oppa!" Sulli smiled sweetly, her eyebrows curved.

At the same time, five figures jumped down from the stage and ran over to Lee Yunjae. Lee Yunjae walked around Sulli, his face filled with excitement as he hugged each of them one by one.

"You finally came back... We were so worried about you!" Kim Jun Su patted Lee Yunjae's shoulder, excitedly.

After four years, the six members of TVXQ reunited, and words like excitement and joy couldn't fully describe their feelings. Even after four years, the bond between the six of them hadn't diminished at all.

"It's good to be back... I can sing again!" Jung Yun Ho said, excitedly.

"Yep!" Lee Yunjae nodded, "It seems we won't be teammates anymore, but competitors... I won't go easy on you!"

"Tch, your arrogant personality hasn't changed much!" Kim Jae Joong teased, "We're a top male group now, if you want to catch up, you'll have to show us what you've got!"

"If I didn't have the skills, would I dare to say that... Believe me, I will surpass you!" Lee Yunjae nodded solemnly, but his words made the five members of TVXQ laugh.

If someone else had said this, they would have dismissed it as a joke. But when Lee Yunjae said it, it carried a different meaning.

"Alright, we'll wait and see!" Park Yu Chun said confidently, though Lee Yunjae was very capable, they weren't pushovers either.

"By the way, the members of H.O.T. are here, you should go greet them, it's been a few years!"

Without Jung Yun Ho saying it, Lee Yunjae had already seen the six members of H.O.T. a few meters away. Since their contract ended, H.O.T. hadn't disbanded and continued to be active as a group or individually, earning great respect in the music industry.

Seeing the six members of H.O.T., Lee Yunjae felt a surge of emotion, taking a few steps forward and deeply bowing to them.

"Brothers, I'm back!"

Eric held Lee Yunjae's shoulder, saying solemnly, "It's good to have you back..."

After experiencing so much, he had become more composed, not showing his excitement on his face, but Lee Yunjae could clearly feel it.
