Volume 5 2013 Chapter 973: Obsession
"I don't want to go to China! If I go there, T-ara will never come back! How can I realize my dream of surpassing Girls' Generation?"
Park Ji-yeon glared at Yi Haoyan and yelled at him, looking like a neglected child.
“Jiyeon!”
IU felt that her best friend was obviously out of control.
At this point, what's the point of talking about surpassing Girls' Generation? It's already great that the group hasn't disbanded, what's the point of a bicycle?
She felt that Park Ji-yeon was a little confused now.
T-ara's current situation is actually very suitable for development in China.
After all, in terms of fame, it was once a top-tier girl group. In terms of strength, it is many times stronger than China's local groups. If you go to China at this time, you will definitely make money.
As for the dream of surpassing Girls' Generation? Forget about it! In the face of reality, dreams are worthless.
If T-ara disbanded, that would be a complete dream shattered!
"It's okay, let her talk."
Yi Haoyan stopped Li Zhien from persuading her.
IU's career is very different from T-ara's.
One is bitter first and sweet later, the other is sweet first and bitter later.
It was not easy for Lee Ji-eun to debut. She suffered a lot both as a trainee and in the early days of her debut. She saw all kinds of contempt and disdain along the way. Now she is slowly getting on the right track and experiencing an explosion.
So she knows that reality is stronger than people.
But Park Ji-yeon's career was going smoothly at the beginning, but suddenly something unexpected happened at the peak of her career, and then she fell off a cliff.
The experience of sweetness first and bitterness later is much more painful.
It's normal that the little dinosaur cannot accept the reality.
Yi Haoyan could understand Park Ji-yeon's loss of composure, so he asked her to speak out her thoughts.
This is also one of the main purposes of this meeting.
But the little dinosaur misunderstood what they meant.
"Just say it! I'm not afraid of you!"
Park Ji-yeon took Lee Ji-eun's reminder as an act of protection from her best friend.
She thought Zhien stopped her because she was afraid of angering the young master in front of her, and Yi Haoyan's subsequent behavior was a sign that he was holding a grudge and was ready to deal with her.
Anyway, in Park Ji-yeon's eyes, Yi Haoyan is just a petty person with a sharp tongue!
So, she just went for it.
"Do you remember what you said when we first met?"
Park Ji-yeon's eyes are actually not that narrow without eyeliner. Compared to when she is on stage, her aggressiveness has decreased a lot and she looks a little silly and cute. But at this moment, she stares with her eyes, which is unexpectedly a bit fierce.
"What?"
"You belittled T-ara from beginning to end! You said we are an amateur group! It's a pipe dream to think we can surpass Girls' Generation!"
"Did I say something wrong?"
Yi Haoyan was very calm, as if it was a matter of course.
This is even more infuriating.
"Yes! You're right. We were indeed not strong enough at that time, but that's not a reason for you to look down on us!!"
Thinking of the past, Park Ji-yeon became more and more angry, and her chest heaved violently like a broken bellows working hard.
Her eyes turned red, she stood up with one hand on the table, pointed at Yi Haoyan with the other hand, gritted her teeth, and veins bulged on her neck.
"From that day on, I made up my mind to work hard! I must surpass Girls' Generation! I must achieve great results! And then I will give you a good slap in the face! I will break your stinky face that looks down on others!! I will make you remember me!"
"Jiyeon~"
Li Zhien was scared.
She knew that the little dinosaur had been on bad terms with the eldest young master over the years, but she didn't expect it to be to this extent.
They are just like enemies, and I never noticed it before!
This, what should I do!
"I, I almost succeeded..."
At this point, Park Ji-yeon, who was so imposing a second ago, seemed to have her spine suddenly pulled out. She lost all her strength in an instant, and even her eyes lost their luster as if a light had been extinguished.
"If it weren't for that incident... we should have made great progress this year... it's only our fourth year... T-ara should have been on par with Girls' Generation...
"Why is this happening?"
Tears overflowed uncontrollably and slid down the girl's chiseled face, one by one, like falling meteors, representing unfulfilled wishes.
From the day the accident happened, Park Ji-yeon felt that her wish to slap Yi Haoyan in the face might not come true, but she could not accept this result.
Unable to let go, unable to let go.
She had been preparing for this wish for so long and had worked so hard for so long that it had become a firm obsession.
It is this obsession that has supported Park Ji-yeon through various high-intensity and difficult death-defying missions over the years, allowing her to burst out with the greatest enthusiasm and motivation every time to do her job well and overcome various difficulties.
Every time she crossed a hurdle, she told herself that her wish would soon come true, and her obsession became stronger.
Similarly, it was this obsession that caused Park Ji-yeon and Yi Haoyan to part ways unhappily every time they met. The relationship between the two had always been hostile, and even after they knew that Yi Haoyan was just well-intentioned, it did not change.
Ideas formed over a long period of time are a solid fortress that can both protect a person and trap him.
Park Ji-yeon has been stuck in this thought and can't get out of it.
But obsession is just a thought after all, and it still seems powerless in the face of reality.
T-ara's current situation is completely contrary to the girls' wishes, and Park Ji-yeon cannot accept it.
The gap between ideal and reality is so huge. The spiritual power that supported her before has collapsed completely now.
Park Ji-yeon just cried today, which is pretty good.
…
…
Yi Haoyan remained silent.
The room was eerily quiet.
Apart from Park Ji-yeon's weak breathing and slight sobs, you could even hear a pin drop.
IU was stunned.
She thought she knew Jiyeon very well, but today she realized that she actually knew nothing about her best friend.
The little dinosaur who is usually carefree, impetuous, and uses his muscles more than his brain turns out to have such a sensitive and stubborn side.
She hasn't had an easy life these years...
Lee Ji-eun glanced at Yi Haoyan, and seeing that he didn't react, she quickly handed the paper to Jiyeon.
She didn't know how the eldest young master would react, but she had to protect Jiyeon anyway.
We can't let her get beaten.
…
"Want to slap someone in the face?"
The boy finally spoke, his tone sounding relaxed.
"This is easy~ It's okay. Even if T-ara is like this now, you can still beat them if you want. It's not difficult."
"Haoyanxi... Zhiyan didn't mean that..."
This sounded a bit wrong, and Lee Ji-eun panicked and quickly tried to make amends for her best friend.
But it didn't work.
As he spoke, Yi Haoyan stood up and took Park Ji-yeon's hand.
Then.
Under the two people's puzzled looks, he held the hand and fanned himself in the face.
Bang!
Bang?
Bang?!
Li Zhien was completely stunned.
