Reboot the heyday

The cause of this incident was actually quite inexplicable.

Speaking of Liu Nvxia, she has quite a bit of staying power.

For several days after returning from SM Entertainment, Wang Taika felt as if he had missed something. It was a strange feeling, like a feather gently tickling his heart—not painful, not itchy, but impossible to ignore.

I felt like I'd seen Lady Liu's face somewhere before, the charm in her eyes and brows, and the curve of her lips when she smiled.

Wow, this is like a predestined connection from a past life; it feels so familiar. Stop kidding.

But it really felt that way. Wang Taika didn't believe in fate, but he always felt that he had seen Liu Nvxia's face somewhere before.

This doesn't involve any foreshadowing from a long time ago; Wang Taika is certain that he and Lady Liu have never met.

Therefore, this familiarity is not the kind of familiarity you would have "seen" in person, but a deeper kind of familiarity that is etched into your memory.

It's like a long time ago, in a fleeting moment, I glimpsed a similar face, and then it was buried in some corner of my mind.

As everyone knows, Wang Taika is mentally ill.

When ordinary people encounter this situation, they might mutter something like, "I feel like I've seen this somewhere before," and then go about their business.

But Wang Taika is not an option.

This guy is the kind of person who immediately looks up any unfamiliar words in the dictionary, searches for any unfamiliar phrases in the encyclopedia, and has to find the source of any sentence or melody that pops into his head. All for that final feeling of "Oh, I see."

So this feeling of "not being able to remember" is like a thorn stuck in Wang Taika's mind, and he will feel uncomfortable all over if he doesn't pull it out.

As a result, Wang Taika simply fell into an almost obsessive investigation mode.

First, exclude those close to you. Noona, Chong'er, Ji-eun, Jiongjing, Chunka, Bae Baek-chai—basically anyone you're related to—none of them look like Lady Liu.

Um, maybe a little bit? But Wang Taika knew that the feeling of déjà vu wasn't this one. That oval face and the specific distribution of facial features, and the feeling when she smiled—it didn't match up.

So, let's continue with the process of elimination.

Since they seem familiar, they're most likely Korean, and probably female idols. After all, these are the kinds of people Wang Taika has dealt with most over the years.

Wang Taika began to recall the girl group members he had seen over the years in his mind, like watching a movie. Girls' Generation, THANKS, f(x), AOA, Red Velvet, TWICE, BLACKPINK, MAMAMOO
One combination after another flashed through my mind, and one face after another emerged in my memory.

Then, at a certain moment, the image froze.

"Huh?" Wang Taika thought of something, quickly opened his phone, and searched for photos of TWICE.

When one of the faces finally appeared on the screen, Wang Taika stared at it for a long time, then slowly leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath.

"Finally found it, that feels so good. What's this called?"

Wang Taika searched again and found that the name was Son Chae-young.

This is incredible! How many Chaeyoungs has Wang Taika met?

Looking at the eyebrows and eyes, it doesn't seem like it.

But the general outline is very similar, really similar.

It's not a complete copy like a twin, but rather... how to put it, the layout of the facial features, the contours of the face, and especially that somewhat aloof yet slightly roguish expression.

Of course, this is a very personal feeling.

Just like many people think that Chong'er and Jiongjing look alike, but in Wang Taika's opinion, the two people have nothing in common. He doesn't know what others think.

So perhaps only Wang Taika in the whole world thinks that Liu Nvxia and Son Chaeyoung have similar facial features.

Wang Taika thought about what Lady Liu looked like and compared it with Son Chae-young's photo, finding it more and more amazing the more he looked at it.

"I was thinking, it seems like I've seen him somewhere before."

"But..." Wang Taika looked at Son Chaeyoung's photo, not knowing how to put it, and felt nothing.

They look so alike, so why do I feel reluctant to part with Lady Liu, but have no feelings for Son Chae-young at all?
Son Chae-young's face seems a bit fuller? Has her baby fat not completely disappeared yet? On the other hand, Yoo Jae-hyuk, due to the grueling training of trainees, is thin and angular, which amplifies her cool and aloof demeanor.

Is it due to its appearance?

Son Chae-young gives off a cool, tomboyish vibe—rebellious, free-spirited, and with her own little world. And what about Lady Yoo? Lady Yoo's vibe is hard to describe, but it's different.

So it's because of one's temperament?
Of course, the most likely explanation is that it has nothing to do with appearance or temperament.

Feelings are inherently strange. There's a particular kind of feeling about Lady Liu.

Wang Taika suddenly laughed.

This discovery made Wang Taika very happy, as if he had solved a long-standing mystery. Although figuring it out was useless, it still brought him a sense of relief.

It's normal for a mentally ill person to act on a whim.

Wang Taika found it interesting and suddenly wanted to see what Son Chaeyoung looked like. Although he had seen her before, it was just a brief visit, and he had no impression of her at all.

So what do we do now? We can't just go up to them and say, "Hello, let me see you."

Wang Taika is sick, but not to this extent.

After thinking it over, Wang Taika picked up his phone, found the number he hadn't contacted in a long time, and dialed it.

"Drip drip!"

When Elbow Girl received the call, she was waiting in the photography studio.

"Hello?" Elbow Girl's voice was filled with obvious surprise, and a hint of barely concealed excitement: "Are you sure you didn't dial the wrong number? What made you think of calling me?"

Elbow Girl's confidence was really badly damaged by Wang Taika.

Hearing the noisy background noise on the other end, Wang Taika asked, "Are you busy?"

"It's alright, we're filming something, taking a break." Elbow Girl said, taking a few steps towards the corner, her voice lowered, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Wang Tai paused for a moment, not answering directly: "Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?"

On the other end of the phone, out of Wang Taika's sight, Elbow Girl heard this, pouted, and said, "You never call me unless there's nothing wrong."

That's the truth.

Wang Taika hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well, then today is the first time."

Elbow Girl asked innocently, "What first time?"

“It’s the first time, nothing’s wrong, I just suddenly wanted to call you,” Wang Taika said casually.

Elbow Girl felt a small surge of joy in her heart. She looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to her before she was happy for three seconds.

"Okay." Elbow Girl pouted, but couldn't help but ask again to confirm, "But, are you really okay?"

Wang Taika could tell from Elbow Girl's tone that it would be too hurtful to talk about anything else at this moment. So he hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, there is something."

A sudden pang of sadness struck Elbow Girl, who pursed her lips. "Yeah, I knew it. Alright, what's up? It can't be anything too important if you're calling me."

"It's quite important, um. Can I see you? That's what it is." It was truly rare for Wang Taika to have a conscience like this.

Elbow Girl suddenly felt her face burning and her breathing becoming a little labored. For the first time in her life, she was being coquettish with Wang Taika, saying one thing but meaning another.

"Come if you want, I don't care!" (End of Chapter)
