Reboot the heyday

The air seemed to have been sucked out at that moment.

However, we can go back a minute, since Kim Dong-won's mental state at this moment is quite intriguing.

A minute ago, the moment Kim Dong-won saw Wang Tai-ka, she panicked instantly. Not because of what was in the bag, but entirely because of Wang Tai-ka.

So if Kim Dong-won were to shift the blame, saying it was all Wang Tai-ka's fault, that would be perfectly reasonable.

The instant Wang Taika's gaze fell upon her, Jin Dongtian's world seemed to shrink instantly, leaving her all alone. Her heart pounded as if gripped by an invisible hand, leaping and then pounding wildly. A profound sense of embarrassment overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.

After what happened last time—when Kim Dong-won, unaware of Wang Tai-ka's identity, saw him getting too close to Lady Liu, she righteously warned him to keep his distance. Well, ever since that incident, every time Kim Dong-won recalls her righteously stern warning, she feels so embarrassed she could dig a hole in the floor with her toes.

To be fair, although Jin Dongtian's actions at the time seemed hasty and rude, what he said was entirely reasonable and not just a tantrum.

But who would have thought that Wang Taika, with his background and status, would still be putting on airs? Wealthy people in South Korea are actually quite flamboyant; they desperately want others to know they're rich. So Wang Taika's low-key and reserved demeanor, typical of wealthy Chinese people, is quite unexpected here.

Kim Dong-won's self-righteous sense of justice turned out to be nothing but a misunderstanding, and it also exposed her poor judgment of character. This made her feel inferior in front of Wang Tai-ka, as if she were a foolish and ridiculous clown.

So she never saw Wang Taika again after that. So much time has passed, and this is only their second meeting. And today, Jin Dongtian really has something important to do.

Now that they've met on a narrow path, Jin Dongtian's only thought is to run! He absolutely cannot make eye contact with him! He cannot be discovered!

Extreme embarrassment rendered Jin Dongtian incapable of thinking, so he hurriedly got up from the ground and accidentally dropped his backpack.
It's well known that South Korean female idols often accidentally make mistakes.

The backpack zipper wasn't fully closed in the rush, and the impact and the fall to the ground tore open a large hole. The contents spilled out: practice headphones, several pens, a cute cartoon wallet, and something that shouldn't have been in a trainee's backpack.

An egg. Of course, if you think it's breakfast, then no one will object.

To make matters worse, Jin Dongdong only then realized that several familiar trainees were following behind him. Their relationship wasn't particularly good, not bad, but just so-so, very so-so indeed.

It's the kind of relationship where they won't cause trouble for you unless something's wrong, but they also won't bother with you. However, if something happens, they'll definitely kick you while you're down.

The footsteps quickened, and three female trainees surrounded Jin Dongtian, recognizing him. Their eyes were all drawn to the object, and then they all looked at Jin Dongtian, whose face was ashen.

"puff!"

One of the female trainees, wearing a baseball cap, was the first to react. With an undisguised mocking smile on her face, she spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for those around her to hear: "Wow, Winter unnie, I didn't know you liked watching this kind of 'deep' stuff in private? You have a unique taste!"

The other trainees exchanged meaningful glances and whispered among themselves.

"No...this isn't mine!" Jin Dongtian felt all the blood rush to her head, her cheeks burning hot. She frantically squatted down to pick it up, but her fingers trembled and wouldn't obey her commands.

Someone let out a snicker. Jin Dongtian's eyes reddened with anxiety, and her voice trembled with tears: "It's really not mine! It's not mine!"

"Oh, really? You can believe it if you want." The female trainee in the baseball cap scoffed, her drawn-out tone filled with schadenfreude.

Another witness, Wang Taika, was stunned for a while, as he genuinely didn't understand what was happening. This was quite a challenge to his understanding.

Young people these days really know how to have fun! Am I getting old?

Seeing Kim Dong-won's flustered reaction made Wang Taika want to laugh. Why? Mainly because the current Kim Dong-won was quite a contrast to the proud person she usually was in front of him.

Once upon a time, this girl was fiercely protective of her friend, convinced that Wang Taika had designs on her best friend, Liu Nvxia. Later, it turned out to be a misunderstanding, which also implicated a friend she trusted. After her identity was revealed, things seemed to remain quite awkward.

However, Wang Taika didn't really care, because in his eyes, Kim Dong-won was just a young girl who was sensitive and loyal but made a fool of herself, and she wasn't a bad person at all. She seemed a bit arrogant at the time, but more like a bluffing puppy, barking a few times without being annoying.

So it's quite a contrast that a girl with this kind of personality carries this toy around; it's hilarious.

But Jin Dongtian was truly panicked at this moment, unable to defend herself, overwhelmed by immense grievance and shame. Because this thing truly wasn't hers; someone else had simply forgotten to put it away in the dormitory.

The person wasn't in the dorm at the time, and Jin Dong was afraid that the teacher would find it when checking her backpack, which would result in punishment for the whole group. So, because she didn't want to be punished, she had no choice but to temporarily help put it away.

This incident was indeed a shock to Jin Dongtian, an adult; she hadn't expected such a thing to happen. So, on her way to the company, she was in a daze, feeling as if her beliefs were crumbling.

That's just how young people are; they haven't experienced much. So they're naive, they believe in truth, goodness, and beauty. Even the slightest difference in reality, or something different from what they expected, can cause a huge shock, as if their entire worldview is being overturned.

When Jin Dongtian discovered that her best friend actually had such a thing, she was shocked, feeling like it was the end of the world. She couldn't understand it, couldn't accept it, and felt like she had been deceived by the world. Then, in a daze, she went to the company, which is why she was knocked down by Wang Taika, leading to this series of embarrassing events.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get. It's all Wang Taika's fault!

Jin Dongtian grumbled to herself, but dared not say it aloud. At that moment, she was filled with despair, feeling like she was about to become a laughingstock in the company and that she was about to be fired.

Just when she was feeling hopeless, thinking that her trainee career was about to end and that the rest of her life would be shrouded in shadow, a voice rang out above her head.

"Hehehe, look at this thing, the workmanship is a bit poor," Wang Taika said.

Jin Dongtian closed his eyes in despair, knowing that his retribution had come.

This guy definitely won't let such a good opportunity for revenge pass him by. (End of Chapter)
