Chapter 19: Milk Skin Jintae-yeon (Part 1)

  First update, seeking recommendations~

  ============

  "Brother, you're walking too fast, I can't keep up, slow down a bit... right, just like that!"

  "Brother, I told you to forget about the camera, not to never look at it! This is a close-up shot, if you don't look this way how can I capture your expression... Ah!"

  "Ah - you're really pretty, come on, give Grandpa a smile~"

  “……”

  "Brother, don't lower your head, lift it up a bit... a bit higher, yes, yes, yes, you have to be confident in your stride and show off your charming demeanor."

  “……”

  "Wow! This sulky expression is so... awesome, so cute!"

  "Come on, Milk Skin Ahn Jun-hee! Come on, Milk Skin Ahn Jun-hee!"

  *sigh*...

  Tiny indoor, holding a mobile phone and shouting loudly, Kim Tae-yeon, at the beginning, could still remember to help Ahn Jun-hee practice skills, but after a while, she finally had the opportunity to command her senior brother and became complacent, on the one hand, making various demands, on the other hand, surrounding Ahn Jun-hee and taking crazy photos, the whole little paparazzi-like appearance, playing happily.

  An Junhe, who had no choice but to give up his intention to practice, saw Taeyeon having so much fun and didn't put on the airs of a senior or older brother, instead posing in various strange positions according to her requests, accompanying her in her nonsense.

  However, when the girl's demands became more and more excessive, he couldn't take it anymore. He snatched the phone away, turned the camera around, and aimed it at Taeyeon.

  "Ah!" The girl let out a low-pitched shriek and hurriedly covered the lens, her pale skin visibly reddening.

  "Huh, you also know how to be shy?" An Junhe disregarded her resistance and struggle, grasped her small hand, and pulled it open with force. He slapped the childish and tender face that emerged with a blush, "Little girl, weren't you happy when you hit me just now? Smile, I'll make you smile!"

  Struggling in vain, Taeyeon suddenly narrowed her eyes and made a pitiful expression, "Ah... brother, it hurts so much... my hand is dislocated!"

  An Junhe was taken aback, thinking that he had really used too much force and subconsciously loosened his hand. Then, he saw Taeyeon's crying expression suddenly change to a triumphant smile as she took the opportunity to run to the other side of the table, forming a standoff.

  "Ah! Kim Tae-yeon, how dare you deceive me!"

  The girl made a face at him and said "It's your own fault!"

  An Junhe's face turned black, "......Very well! Do you think hiding over there will make me unable to catch you? You're dead for sure!"

  As soon as the words fell, he suddenly got up and rushed around the table to grab the girl. Taeyeon let out a sharp cry and ran away with her legs. The two of them went back and forth around the table, causing another commotion. After two or three rounds, the short-legged Kim Taeyeon was finally unable to escape Ahn Jun-hee's grasp and was dragged back with a sulky face, her neck pinched by him.

  The girl was small in stature, although she looked a bit chubby and round, but actually very light. When Ahn Jun-hee, who was tall and big, held her by the neck, it was like comparing a giant with a doll. Her sparse eyebrows were furrowed into an eight-character shape, looking so sulky that it made people want to burst out laughing.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. Today I caught a mysterious creature -" Ahn Jun-hee said with a straight face, trying to hold back his laughter, as the camera panned to the girl in his hand, "- Ta-da! The endangered Kim Tae-yeon!"

  "Ah!"

  The girl hastily covered her face with her hand and muttered: "Hateful! You're the one who's on the verge of extinction!"

  Then her hands slightly loosened, revealing a pair of eyes, shining with unspoken adorable clarity. She looked at him and pleaded: "Brother, take it away..."

  "No way, I have to take a picture of you today, who made you tease me just now!" An Junhe said firmly.

  "......Really must?" Seeing his determination, Taeyeon asked weakly.

  An Junhe nodded, the camera remained focused on the girl, Taeyeon helplessly sighed, "Okay okay, let you take a picture." Then whispered: "Careful man!"

  "What did you say?" An Junhe's eyes widened as he strained his ears to listen clearly.

  Taeyeon's heart suddenly panicked, and she hastily shook her head with a confused expression, "No!"

  He glanced at her suspiciously, but since she didn't acknowledge it, An Junhe also didn't bother to pursue the matter. As he released his grip on the girl and took a few steps back, the camera panned out. On the phone screen, the girl looked quite uncomfortable, twisting her body awkwardly. Although she seemed tense, her petite figure made her look adorable, which toned down the discordant feeling in the scene.

  The camera angle is great!

  An Junhe thought for a moment and casually instructed, "Taeyeon, introduce yourself."

  Kim Tae-yeon's heart was racing wildly, and she paused for a moment, "Huh?"

  "Can't even introduce myself?"

  "Uh..." The girl fell silent for a moment, seeing Ahn Jun-hee still holding onto his phone, she knew that no matter what, she couldn't escape today. She also felt a bit regretful, thinking that she shouldn't have been so careless earlier. Unfortunately, it was too late to regret now, so she awkwardly scratched her chin and said in a small voice: "Uh... my name is Kim Tae-hyun, I'm from Jeonju, I'm a 3rd year middle school student, about to enter high school soon, I like singing, currently learning vocal music... brother, this feels really stupid..."

  An Junhe chuckled, "I'm also helping you out, aren't you participating in the Best selection conference? With your abilities, you'll definitely be able to pass the exam and become a trainee. I'm just helping you get used to being in front of the camera ahead of time, so you should be thanking me."

  However the girl seemed really unaccustomed to speaking in front of the camera, so he didn't force her anymore. He helplessly said: "Forget it, no introduction then. If you love singing, just sing a song in front of the camera!"

  "Sing a song?" Upon hearing this, Taeyeon let out a sigh of relief. If it were something else, she would have been at a loss for what to do, but singing was no problem at all. She quickly nodded in agreement, "What song does brother want to hear?"

  "Hmm..."

  An Junhe hesitated for a moment, his eyes scanning Tae-yeon's body for a brief moment, and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind. He smiled and said: "Senior Lee Hyori's '10 Minutes', let's dance and sing at the same time!"

  "Huh?"

  Last year, Lee Hyori's sexy storm swept across Korea and even began to radiate to other Asian countries. As the main contributor to this trend, "10 Minutes" had everyone humming a tune or two. Tae-yeon, who loves singing and is at an age where she's still chasing stars, would of course sing along, but dancing while singing was a bit too much for her... that kind of sexy dance...

  Just thinking about it made Taeyeon feel like she was going to pass out.

  "Hurry up, hurry up, my phone is running out of battery."

  An Junhe urged, on the other side, Tae-yeon's mouth was pouting so much that it could hang a soy sauce bottle, "Hmph, jump then, I'm not afraid of you!"

  As she spoke, she pulled up her pants - this completely un-girly action made An Junhe feel like his forehead was hurting - took a deep breath, and the moment the lyrics and melody came out, she started moving too.

  At that moment, An Junhe, who was originally ready to watch her make a fool of herself, slowly widened his eyes.

  Taeyeon, still a young girl, couldn't portray Lee Hyori's sexiness, and she knew it herself. So she intentionally added some cute little movements to the dance, taking advantage of her short stature, thoroughly turning the performance into an adorable style. Especially at the end, when she did a sideways glance with a "pass" gesture, she made it look like a playful pout, adding a soft and delicate meow sound, instantly bursting with cuteness, making Ahn Jun-young laugh out loud.

  One song ended, An Jun-he clapped continuously, imitating Kim Tae-yeon's previous appearance, as if a fan shouted: "Come on again, milk skin Kim Tae-yeon! Come on again, milk skin Kim Tae-yeon!"

  The girl smiled shyly, but she was a crazy personality, and seeing An Junhe's enthusiastic appearance, she also came up with the strength, and indeed, it was several waves again, still with a lovely and ambiguous wind, laughing so hard that tears almost came out.

  Just then, the door of the practice room suddenly opened, and Kwon Bo-geun stood blankly outside the door, staring at the extremely hot atmosphere inside, his eyes wide with wonder.

  "Uh..." Weng Baogen hesitated for a moment, seeing the two people inside suddenly quiet down due to his intrusion, and stammered: "Do you... want me to come back later?"

  At this time, Taeyeon was already blushing bright red. In front of people she had gotten close to, she was cheerful and lively, but in front of strangers, she was extremely introverted, her face very sensitive. After hearing Gwangbaek-ru like that with a somewhat ambiguous tone, how could she still dare to lift her head? She completely hid behind Ahn Junghyun.

  An Junhe didn't seem to have any reaction, he took a few deep breaths, stabilizing his breathing which had become disordered from laughing so hard. He rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Bao Gen, don't talk nonsense... what did you find me for?"

  "Oh..." Feeling quite embarrassed, Quan Baogen suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit and hastily said: "I've found a recording studio, I was just about to take you there, look..."

  "This is a serious matter," An Junhe nodded, "Alright, let's go!" He then beckoned to Tai Yan, "Tai Yan, come with us."

  The girl was taken aback, "Me?"

  "It doesn't matter, let's go together!"

  An Junhe knew her concerns, which were nothing more than fear of disturbing him. However, he couldn't possibly leave the girl alone here either. After all, they were just recording a demo, and it wasn't that particular.

  Taeyeon hesitated for a moment before following along. As someone who loved singing, she had always wanted to see what the legendary recording studio looked like.

  The recording studio was not in the company, but in another independent studio under the company's umbrella. The studio was responsible for advertising business and had a recording room to handle sound effects. Originally, it was not available for external rental, but Quan Baogen's face was too big, and he persuaded them to vacate the room for an afternoon. This shows how wise An Junhe was in choosing Quan Baogen initially. Although his relationship with the company has cooled down now, and there is a sense of being ostracized, his connections within the company are still at work. Perhaps they may be suppressed at headquarters, but as soon as he goes out to lower-level units, he can still swim like a fish.

  The studio is not far from the company, only about 30 minutes by car, and arrived just in time for lunch.
