Reboot the heyday

I've been getting a lot of attention lately.

There have always been quite a few, but recently there have been quite a few who have taken the initiative to express their opinions.

But Wang Taika is not narcissistic at all. Although he may have been smug for a few moments, he knows most of the time that emotional factors are not the main reason for his success.

Just like Suzy, if Wang Taika didn't have his current status and position, even if she were really interested in him, she wouldn't take the initiative. It's that simple.

But this doesn't mean that everything Suzy is doing now is fake. It's just that some feelings are difficult to turn from affection into reality.

Although Wang Taika wouldn't judge someone as sincere or opportunistic based on this alone, he would still have a sense of distance in his heart.

In short, it's not worth overthinking this kind of thing; just let things take their course.

The focus going forward will remain on monopolizing exposure resources for the "Duck King" plan.

Because of this incident, Wang Taika has been going to work every day for the first time these days. It's worth noting that Wang Taika hasn't been alone these past few days; he's had a temporary secretary by his side.

Of course, it's the female secretary!
Anyway, as soon as I start work, I see stunningly beautiful women in secretary uniforms and sky-high heels.

Without further ado, it's Eun-jung from T-ara! I've finally had some free time these past few days, since I've been spending a lot of time in China and haven't been home in a long time.

Of course, this was also deliberately arranged by Wang Taika. Crown has been active in China, but the rest opportunities are rotated. On the one hand, this is to keep the team as intact as possible and maintain its popularity. On the other hand, it is to avoid having too many people return at once, as Wang Taika is afraid of creating a chaotic situation.

Prevention is better than cure. Many things are not worth gambling on, so we must be prepared. Even though Wang Taika and Eunjung are currently innocent, everyone knows deep down that Wang Taika has long harbored feelings for Eunjung.

Anyone with eyes can tell what's going on. Wang Taika was taking advantage of their misfortune, especially since he was there for T-ara during their most difficult time, which made the group surprisingly resilient to this kind of situation.

Of course, the people inside the Crown were more or less prepared for the possible outcome, and they basically accepted their identities.

Why do we say "basically the default" here? Because there is one exception.

It's not Eun-jung, it's Bo-ram.

Well, to put it simply, Baolan isn't really fond of people like Wang Taika. Although they have a good relationship, over the years, she's actually the most distant from the others.

If you do the math, although Madam is easygoing, she knows exactly what she wants. So when the choice finally came, while she wasn't too proactive, she certainly didn't reject it either. Actually, given the circumstances back then, even if Wang Taika had gone to Madam like that, she probably would have been fine.

And then there's Su Wanzi. She's the one in the Crown who has the deepest entanglement and the most torturous love story with Wang Taika. Car accident, attack, depression—it all seems so melodramatic, but it all happened. True love is revealed in times of hardship, but these hardships were just too many.

Actually, Wang Taika's initial impression of Su Wanzi was quite ordinary, but after going through so much hardship, he really felt closer to her than two clay figures that had become one.

It's not about who saved whom, but rather that no matter what, neither of them let go. The president and vice president of the Pit Blue Association must be part of the same group!

Hyomin goes without saying, and then there's Ming, a total fangirl. Wang Taika's rare true fan, and also the only time he ever had a crush on someone! Good heavens, heavens are blind; even someone like Wang Taika has fans. In fact, Wang Taika is quite serious when he's with Ming. After all, it's only when these two are together that Wang Taika truly plays the "idol" role, which sometimes forces him to put on an act.

In psychology, there is a phenomenon called the Hawthorne effect.

Simply put, it's the effect of people consciously changing their behavior or verbal expression when they realize they are being watched or observed.

Wang Taika is often affected by the Hawthorne effect when he's around his female fan, Ming. Therefore, he never makes excessive demands of her, fearing he might damage his image in her eyes. His only fan is a female fan, so he can't help but cherish her.

Although these reasons make Wang Taika a bit pretentious in front of his fangirl Ming, his affection for her is genuine.

The biggest surprise is Jiyeon. She's a fierce and cool dragon tyrant on the outside, but turns into an adorable and innocent little dragon cub on the other side. There's really no need to say more; everyone knows what kind of charm she possesses.

If it weren't for the "exclusion incident" that caused the little dragon to become withdrawn, Wang Taika wouldn't have had the chance to take advantage of her vulnerability and open her heart.

Because the youngest member of the royal family was truly the most naive. Because he was the youngest and the most innocent, the power and resources that Wang Taika later possessed, while tempting, were not something he could easily accept.

Others who have experienced society will more or less consider their future. But Longzai was really young at that time, so young that she thought love could sustain her, and material things couldn't justify her suffering.

This deep-seated dependence makes Wang Taika feel heartache and remorse every time he sees the dragon cub.

Feelings, like time, are things that cannot be grasped; once you try to grasp them, everything seems incredibly distant.

Then there's Eunjung in front of him. Wang Taika has never liked short hair, but Eunjung is the only exception.

When I learned that Eunjung was going to participate in "We Got Married," I was a little unhappy. Especially when I saw that Eunjung seemed to be genuinely attracted to someone on the show, I felt inexplicably annoyed. But Wang Taika never showed any of this.

Later, due to the "exclusion incident," the show was canceled, and Wang Taika made no attempt to hide his mockery. I still remember that gloating joy.

It feels like Eun-jung is like a panda cake that's been eyed for a long time, but she's waiting for a special, ceremonial occasion to eat it.

Perhaps this favoritism started when Wang Taika called her "Panda Jung." Although his initial intention was to mock Eun-jung's dark circles, how could someone nicknamed "Panda" not be adorable?
Of the six members of the Crown, five have their own stories. Only Sapphire Blue seems to be an outsider.

Although Wang Taika and Baolan have crossed paths, share nicknames, joke around, and even fight side-by-side, and Baolan was once tricked by Wang Taika and Suwanzi, they never actually had a truly meaningful story between them.

I have absolutely no memory of that.

As things have developed to this point, it seems more like a matter of inertia.

Because it seemed like everyone in the group was like that, the other members were getting closer and closer to Wang Taika. Boram didn't want to be an outcast, and besides, the group really needed Wang Taika's support at the time, so she pretended to be oblivious.

But one can't play dumb forever. (End of Chapter)
