Chapter 258 I just want to talk to someone
"Captain of the group, it has been confirmed that for Kim Taeyeon, you will be doing makeup, recording your debut song, and shooting your music video next week, so I will give you two days to deal with your family and school affairs. This can be considered as your last vacation. But you'd better remember that from this moment on, if anyone does anything that damages the image of the company and the group, it won't be as simple as a contract termination. Each of you has signed an exclusive contract, and now you are SM's artists. Although you haven't officially debuted yet, it doesn't make any difference anymore!"
"So, remember, artists are artists, and trainees are trainees. I won't repeat what the teacher taught me before. Starting next week, you will also have more public relations lessons. That's all for today!"
"By the way, Kim Taeyeon, you are now the captain of the group. If you are not clear about the responsibilities a captain should bear and how to lead the team, you can ask the company seniors for advice!"
“Hah!”
"Goodbye, Director!"
Kim Young-min left the practice room with the dance teacher's farewell, and only nine girls who were surprised, expectant and nervous were left in the practice room.
However, the expressions of two of them were a little different. Kim Taeyeon's daze and Jessica Jung's disbelief both seemed very out of place.
After a brief surprise, the other seven people hurriedly looked at the two of them. There was no doubt that the competition between the two had reached a fever pitch. Whether it was dance practice, vocal practice, or the routine exam a few days ago, the two of them had exerted 120% of their enthusiasm and strength.
It would be understandable if Jessica Jung suddenly became so serious, but it was quite shocking that Kim Taeyeon suddenly became so aggressive. Soon everyone realized that the two seemed to be in conflict, and the reason was quickly analyzed.
The two are competing for the captaincy...
In fact, apart from Huang Miying who was a little entangled in who to support, only Lee Sunkyu supported Kim Taeyeon. However, Kim Taeyeon suddenly showed a strong aura in this month. One day when she returned to the dormitory, she said directly: "I can do as well , and I don't want to happen again!"
It was not an attitude of communication, but more like an announcement of her determination. Afterwards, Kim Taeyeon began to take the initiative to talk and chat with everyone.
In fact, this situation would make people feel inconvenient and embarrassed, but Kim Taeyeon managed to hold on. Even those who used to dislike Kim Taeyeon the most had to admire her resilience. Faced with such a proactive Kim Taeyeon, and she was a teammate, of course it was impossible not to respond to her.
This actually facilitated the communication and integration of the team. There is no doubt that, unknowingly, the seemingly individual behavior actually brought everyone closer together. In this case, even Xu Xian, who had a good relationship with Jessica Jung, began to identify with Kim Taeyeon.
However, the final choice of the captain still depends on the company, and SM is not blind. Of course, they know the situation of these people, and even know that the trainees are in opposition and isolation. But this is reality, just like society, this is a very normal phenomenon, they don't need to correct it. They just need the best and most suitable person.
So, in the end, Kim Taeyeon was confirmed to be the captain of the new girl group Girls' Generation.
Facts have proven that this is not a world where success can be achieved simply by hard work and drive alone. In the same situation, there may be people who work harder than you, or are more talented than you, or even those who understand the ways of the world better than you.
Jessica Jung looked at Kim Taeyeon with a dull look in her eyes. At the moment, she couldn't accept this fact, and couldn't even understand why she lost to her.
The atmosphere in the practice room was very strange. Normally, we should congratulate Kim Taeyeon or tease her at this time, but the current situation is that one of the two teammates won and the other lost in the competition. It seems unscientific who to congratulate or comfort at this time.
Kim Taeyeon glanced at the distraught Jessica Jung, and didn't say anything at this time: "I won, you have to abide by the agreement!" Instead, she looked at the time and began to clean up the garbage in the house, such as some used disposable cups.
Jessica Jung was silent for a while, then turned and left the practice room. Seohyun and Yoona looked around and hurriedly followed her, while the others stayed behind to clean up.
"Taeyeon, have you really decided to be the captain?" Huang Miying ran to Kim Taeyeon and asked in a low voice. In fact, the changes in her friend during this period of time were a bit confusing. Is this still the Kim Taeyeon she knew?
Kim Taeyeon didn't think about this question at all. She just nodded, folded the cups on the ground, and then said, "Very serious!"
"Will there be any problems between Xiuyeon and you this time?" Huang Miying was a little worried, so she asked tactfully.
Kim Taeyeon shook her head and said, "No, among all of us, she is the one who is most eager to debut and succeed. Maybe we won't become friends, but I believe she won't care about this matter. After all, the life she will face next is completely different from the past!"
"Ah, is this okay? Such a relationship between members of a team?"
Kim Taeyeon stopped and looked at her friends. After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "Members of a team don't have to be friends. As long as everyone is a good teammate, that's enough. And isn't it said that time is the best medicine? I believe that as everyone gets along for a long time, the relationship will naturally improve, so don't worry too much about it!"
Huang Miying stared blankly at Jin Taeyeon, and at her good friend who walked to the door, her eyes were somewhat complicated, and she muttered in a low voice: "Taeyeon seems to have changed, has she matured?"
"Come walk with your sister!"
“Oh, oh, oh!”
Princess Crystal, who was about to take Snowball home to study the family dinner menu and complete her Princess Pai 9-discount meal, felt a little strange about her sister's sudden appearance, but she did not hesitate and followed her sister out of the company.
As for Choi Sulli, she rubbed her head and looked at seniors Seohyun and Yoona who were staying at the door, and asked carefully, "Ouni, what happened to Sooyeon?"
The two looked at the little girl, thought about it and decided not to hide it. Anyway, such a thing would probably spread throughout the company in two days, and there would probably be a lot of people interested in it. After all, most of the company's trainees grew up under Jessica Jung's watch. Although it sounds a bit strange, that's the meaning. However, it is estimated that more people will like to hear it.
"Oh, so that's how it is!" Choi Sulli was very surprised. She didn't expect that Taeyeon would actually become the captain of the girl group. Thinking of the conversation between the two in the bathroom and looking at the result, Choi Sulli was also shocked.
In fact, Choi Sulli has the same opinion as most people. Jessica Jung has high qualifications, is not old, and is also capable within the team, so there should be no problem for her to become the captain.
But reality is so full of surprising parts.
"I wonder why Sooyeon-unnie is looking for Soojung? Why not send a text message to Sooheng-unnie?"
Just when Choi Sulli was considering sending a text message to her brother, the sisters Jessica Jung and Krystal Jung were already walking on the street outside SM, the two of them walking side by side. Krystal Jung didn't know about the captain, so she was a little confused.
Both sisters were wearing T-shirts and sweatpants. Most trainees in the company dressed like this. After all, practice clothes naturally have to be convenient.
"Ouni, is there anything you want to tell me?" Krystal couldn't help but ask. Her sister felt a little scary when she didn't speak.
Zheng Xiuyan took a deep breath, and then asked calmly: "Is it okay living with him? Is there anything you are not used to?"
"ah!"
"No, no, it's good at my brother's place, and my brother's stepsister also lives there, so I'm not bored!" Zheng Xiujing's eyes were a little complicated, so she lowered her head to explain.
"Stepsister?"
"It's WG member Kim HyunA!"
"oh!"
Jessica Jung didn't want to ask any more questions, but she felt sad. Thinking about her sister's current life, she suddenly didn't know what to say.
"After you leave the company, does he have any plans for your future?"
Jessica Jung forced herself to change the subject. Jung Soo-jung was feeling a little down thinking about her sister and brother, so she didn't feel anything. She just whispered back, "Maybe I'll be a trainee in my brother's company, but my brother said I can't learn in a playful way like now, so I might transfer to a girls' high school. But I want to go to the art middle school that Xueqiu attends, so I'm actively preparing for negotiations with my brother!"
"Company? He also founded an entertainment company?" Jessica Jung's expression finally became a little surprised, as if she had heard some incredible news, her eyes widened.
Krystal nodded and did not hide her thoughts from her sister. In fact, she had been thinking about how to restore her brother and sister's previous relationship, but it seemed really difficult. Now this was not just her sister's problem, the situation on her brother's side seemed to be more serious.
For example, on the 18th of last month, when it was his sister's birthday, his brother seemed to have forgotten about it. He just did his work and joked with them when he got home. Not to mention gifts, he never even mentioned the matter. You know, in the past two years, Zheng Xiuheng always showed up on his and his sister's birthdays, even though the two of them were a little determined the last time they met, but Zheng Xiujing didn't expect it to come to this.
Krystal couldn't help but said, although she didn't ask directly, she would not eat at home in the evening because she was going to celebrate her sister's birthday. However, Zheng Xiuheng just nodded and asked her to go home early, which made Krystal a little hurt.
"My brother's company is quite famous. It's the Antenna Family that Lee Hyo-ri joined. And Lee Hyo-ri lives next door to us now!"
Krystal knew that her sister liked Lee Hyori, so she said it deliberately to arouse her sister's curiosity about her brother, but unfortunately, her expectations were dashed. Jessica's face suddenly fell and she became extremely lonely because she was not included in the sentence "our family".
"What's wrong, sister? Did I say something wrong?" Krystal asked nervously.
Jessica Jung shook her head and forced a smile, "No, I'm just a little surprised. Let's go eat!"
"ah!"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, what shall we eat?"
"Look at you, it's okay, sister!"
Zheng Xiuyan smiled and patted her sister's head, but her heart was as lonely as a valley. She found that she couldn't find anyone to talk to except her sister...
She failed in the competition for captaincy. Although she was a little unwilling to accept it, she saw everything Kim Taeyeon did. Even if she didn't want to admit it, it was a fact that she did much better than herself.
Even though she was unwilling, she had no choice but to accept it. However, Jessica Jung did not think that she was worse than Kim Taeyeon in everything except dealing with things. So although she was disappointed, she did not lose confidence. It was just that at this moment... she just wanted to find someone to talk to.
For some reason, she suddenly felt so sad. This loneliness made Jessica Jung feel cold in her heart, because these were just her own choices.
When he looked at his sister again, there was a hint of envy in his eyes.
At nine o'clock in the evening, after Zheng Xiujing and her sister finished their dinner, they chatted for a long time before returning home. As for the cooking research class agreed with Xiaoxueqiu, it was naturally moved to later.
"I'm back!"
"Um?"
“Come here quickly!”
Kim Hyun-A, who was sitting on the sofa, was delighted when she saw Krystal come back and waved her hand at her quickly.
Krystal took off her sneakers and walked barefoot to the sofa. At this time, she noticed the figure sitting on the hammock on the balcony and the smoke filling the air.
"Brother, what's wrong with him?" Krystal Jung hurriedly sat down and pulled Kim Hyun-ah to ask in a low voice.
Jin HyunA also lowered her voice and said, "I don't know either. Uncle is like this as soon as he comes back. He has been sitting on the balcony for more than an hour, and the cigarette in his hand has never stopped smoking!"
"Ah, didn't unnie ask?" Zheng Xiujing's heart tightened. She loved her brother very much. If something bad happened to her brother, she might be sadder than the person himself.
"I asked, and the uncle said he wanted to be alone and told me not to bother with him. Otherwise... you go and try it?" Kim Hyun-a's worried expression was all over her face.
Zheng Xiujing's face also became worried. After thinking for a while, she nodded and said, "Then I'll try!"
"Um!"
Kim HyunA sat on the sofa and watched.
"Don't come over here. Don't you see my brother is smoking? Go take a shower and get some rest!"
Just as she was about to walk to the balcony, Krystal heard her brother's voice. His commanding tone was irrefutable, so she could only weakly reply, "Oh, then I'll go take a shower!"
Kim HyunA sighed helplessly. Looking at Krystal Jung who looked depressed and worried, she felt almost the same way. She wondered what was wrong with the uncle.
Zheng Xiuheng, who was sitting on a hammock on the right side of the balcony , was looking at the sky outside the railing, puffing out smoke. He didn't like smoking, but if he didn't do something at this moment, he would really go crazy.
