Chapter 30 You will definitely become a very good singer in the future.
The breakfast took a long time to finish, but the owner didn't rush them. He even shouted happily, "Come again next time!" because Jiang Youzhen gave him two extra bills.
While having breakfast, Kim Tae-yeon talked about some interesting stories and the pressure she felt when she was a trainee. Her decision to become a trainee was somewhat accidental.
Even she herself didn't realize that she could sing so well.
Kang Woo-jin had never heard Kim Tae-yeon sing before, so after getting the girl's permission, he drove to the nearest karaoke room.
On the way, Kim Tae-yeon asked Kang Woo-jin about his studies in New York a few years ago. She had seen a lot of information about it online before, but it was all very brief.
He's a screenwriter, but he only writes horror movies.
He's an actor, and the movie IPs he's been in are quite famous. It's just a pity that he's only the third male lead, and his fame isn't as great as that of "Spider-Man" and "Doctor Octopus".
Even if you're not famous, people will recognize you when you walk down the street, and you're very popular with passersby.
As the saying goes, looks are everything.
"I always studied diligently at school, sometimes helped my dad with his acting, and I did act in movies. And then... I avoided the production companies."
This answer was somewhat unexpected for Kim Tae-yeon.
"Hiding from production companies? Why hide?"
"Well, because they made me write two more sequels to a story that could have ended long ago, and now they want me to write another sequel. I don't want to fall out with the production company, so I had to come back and hide for a while."
Jiang Youzhen awkwardly explained his reason, then sighed, "I've been preparing a new script for the past two years, but they think new works can't compare to old ones, so... you know, this group of people are like crazy, constantly pushing me. They're a bit off."
Kim Tae-yeon was amused by Kang Woo-jin's sarcastic remark. After all the bitterness he had poured out, the last two lines about his eccentricities made her laugh.
Along the way, Kang Woo-jin kept complaining about the production company's bad habits, saying that calling them crazy was not an exaggeration at all, no wonder their business was getting worse and worse, and they were still urging him to sign a sequel.
Once they arrived at the karaoke room, the conversation about New York came to an end. They booked a private room, and Kim Tae-yeon asked Kang Woo-jin if he could sing.
He hasn't sung much, and today he was just an audience member.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be planning to choose any songs, Kim Tae-yeon picked out a whole bunch of them herself, all of them ballads, and all of them were songs she liked.
Kim Tae-yeon's singing talent is undoubtedly high, having won first place in SM Entertainment's youth audition. Coupled with her diligent practice over the past two years, she amazed Kang Woo-jin the moment she opened her mouth.
Not only does she have a naturally advantageous voice, but she is also hardworking and dedicated.
Unlike his soft and gentle voice when he spoke, at least at this moment, Jiang Youzhen felt a strong sense of confidence, brightness, and vitality.
How come this person is like a completely different person when she sings? She is completely immersed in what she likes, and this transformation makes Kang Woo-jin enjoy it too.
Kang Woo-jin can't sing, but that didn't stop him from giving a thumbs up and praising, "It sounds really good."
The "concert" in the karaoke room lasted for nearly three hours. Kim Tae-yeon sang her heart out before realizing how much time had passed.
"Oh no, Anders, I'm sorry. I promised to help you rehearse your lines today, and I've wasted so much of your time."
She hadn't forgotten what she had planned to do with Jiang Youzhen today, so she quickly apologized to him.
"It wasn't a waste of time at all; I had a fantastic concert," Kang Woo-jin said with a smile, continuing to praise the concert with genuine sincerity.
"You will definitely become an excellent singer in the future, absolutely. I might even need your help to choose songs and use background music then. I'm so lucky today. Taeyeon, you are the best singer I've ever met."
Kim Tae-yeon blushed slightly at his praise and quickly waved her hand, saying it wasn't that exaggerated.
As they left the karaoke room, the two chatted for a few minutes by the car. As Kang Woo-jin opened the car door for Kim Tae-yeon, he took out a bouquet of flowers that he had been hiding in the back seat.
Meeting the girl's somewhat surprised gaze, he paused, then said nervously, "Thank you so much for letting me see such a wonderful concert. Is it too late for me to send you this bouquet of flowers?"
Kim Tae-yeon was a little embarrassed to accept the bouquet of flowers. She was at an age where she was somewhat sensitive about relationships, and Kang Woo-jin's obvious expression of affection made her cheeks blush slightly.
After hesitating for a moment, she accepted the bouquet of flowers.
Looking into those expectant, bright, and gentle eyes, she found herself unable to utter the words of refusal.
The vibrant purple roses and daisies soothed her mood considerably, and she then brought up the topic of discussing the script lines.
Jiang Youzhen checked the time. He had originally planned to go see a movie and then have dinner afterwards.
However, seeing that the girl kept bringing it up, he had no choice but to change his approach.
"Shall we go buy some food and then sit in the nearby park?"
"That works, but won't it be crowded today for New Year's Eve?"
Jiang Youzhen wasn't sure if there were many people or few, so he bought two drinks next to the karaoke room and drove off again.
Because he was driving, Kang Woo-jin was constantly paying attention to his surroundings, while Kim Tae-yeon was reviewing Kang Woo-jin's script.
His character didn't have many lines. As a trainee, Kim Tae-yeon was excellent in terms of pronunciation and diction, but the more she watched, the more she felt something was off.
Kang Woo-jin's Korean pronunciation is not awkward; he only occasionally speaks with a foreign accent, but he definitely has no problem reciting lines.
"There aren't many cars over there, and it doesn't seem like there are many people either. Should we go over there?"
Just then, she heard Jiang Youzhen's voice and turned to look in the direction he was looking. In fact, she couldn't tell whether the place Jiang Youzhen was referring to had a lot of people or not.
On New Year's Eve, aren't the streets packed with people?
After parking the car, Kim Tae-yeon realized that this was not the traditional Han River Park, but a green park with a boardwalk and a cafe inside, with large areas of trees and grass in the view.
There are quite a few people here, but it's not as crowded as outside. Luckily, it's winter now. If it were summer, it would definitely be cool here, and there would be even more people.
After getting out of the car, the two walked inside side by side. When they passed the coffee shop, Jiang Youzhen looked somewhat tempted and suggested that they sit inside for a while.
They were lucky; there were still seats available in the shop, right by the window. Several people around noticed the two of them and cast their gazes in their direction.
Kim Tae-yeon didn't want to be the center of attention, so she looked up at Kang Woo-jin. She didn't think this was considered low-key.
Jiang Youzhen looked at her, then bent down slightly and put his baseball cap on her head, smiling as he said, "Wait for me a moment. I'll get a takeout number and then we'll go check out other places."
With the hat covering her face, Kim Tae-yeon finally felt relaxed. She wasn't used to being the center of attention, and she couldn't help but think about the future.
If she works hard enough, she'll have a chance to debut. After that, she'll attract even more attention. Right now, it's really nothing.
Thinking of this, she smiled and shook her head. "It's okay, I'll wait for you here."
