Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Kim Tae-yeon's eardrums were also thumping with the sound of her heartbeat, creating a kind of perfect harmony?
Even though I had just tasted it, I still felt a surge of emotions inside me.

The feelings are real, so it's impossible for them to be completely unaffected.

Without realizing it, Kim Tae-yeon's breathing became restless.

Im Yoona immediately noticed the change in her breathing.

"Unnie? What's wrong?"

"..."

"Unnie! You're clearly not asleep, so why are you pretending to be asleep and ignoring me?"

Kim Tae-yeon could no longer pretend to be asleep, and could only ask helplessly, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Unnie, you wore Lin Yuan's clothes in the Lincoln today. That jacket smells like him, doesn't it?"

"There's no smell at all, don't overthink it."

"Unnie, you're lying! When I get close to Lin Yuan, I can smell a very nice scent on him, like a faint cedar scent."

"You're wearing his clothes, how could you not smell it?" Im Yoona protested.

Yes, how could I not smell it?
Kim Tae-yeon certainly wouldn't forget how distracted she was in the car.

But at that time, she suppressed these feelings with her ideals.

She thought she could control her emotions well, but she didn't expect so many things to happen tonight, and she felt that she was starting to lose control.

But in front of Im Yoona, Kim Tae-yeon could only stubbornly say, "Maybe there is, but I didn't care. Even if there is, it's just a man's scent, is it that rare?"

"When you're training in the practice room, haven't you ever smelled the other male trainees sweating profusely?"

Im Yoona immediately retorted, "How can that be the same?"

Seeing that Kim Tae-yeon remained silent, Lim Yoona continued, "Just like my tongue and your tongue are both tongues, but as the lead vocalist, you are much more flexible!"
When any man you meet in the future has sex with you, he'll be amazed by your flexibility.

Kim Tae-yeon: "..."

You two... really are great sisters in the same group!

As the group's lead vocalist, Kim Tae-yeon underwent the most rigorous professional training, including many exercises designed to enhance tongue flexibility.

In vocal training, specific exercises for tongue flexibility are indeed crucial, as they directly affect articulation clarity, breath control, and tone shaping.

The position of the tip of the tongue determines the direction of airflow. For example, the sounds "T" and "D" require an instantaneous block of airflow.

The degree of relaxation of the tongue root affects the stability of the larynx, while tension at the tongue root can lead to sound compression.

In Korean, tense consonants, such as , , etc., require the tongue to quickly flick against the roof of the mouth;
In English connected speech, such as the [t] flash in "butter," the tongue tip trills.

To meet these stringent requirements, Kim Tae-yeon spends 5 minutes every morning using 40-degree warm salt water to relax the base of her tongue and relieve nighttime stiffness.

During lunch break, she spends an extra 10 minutes practicing pencil balancing, making the "Ni" sound by pressing the tip of her tongue against the pencil to strengthen her tongue.

In the evening, she would set aside another 10 minutes to complete 200 tongue tip bouncing exercises in order to improve tongue flexibility.

Finally, before bed, she would set aside 5 minutes to do tongue exercises, quickly alternating between "La-La-La" (tongue tip touching the upper gum) and "Ka-Ka-Ka" (tongue root touching the soft palate), which would enhance the ability of the tongue muscles to separate and control their movements.

This customized training program can be described as both arduous and tedious, but not everyone is like Taylor Swift, possessing an amazing talent for songwriting, so having slightly weaker singing skills is not a problem.

For Kim Tae-yeon, singing ability is the foundation of her career, and it is absolutely essential.

Years of training have honed her exceptionally flexible tongue.

Within the team, everyone admires her for this.

Sunny and Choi Soo-young, two veteran drivers, have mentioned this...

"Taeyeon unnie! Sunny unnie and Sooyoung unnie said that if any man is with you in the future, he will be very happy. What does that mean?" Im Yoona asked.

"I don't know! Don't be interested in everything; it'll only hurt you!"

This question left Kim Tae-yeon completely at a loss for words.

Will I be very happy?
She already had the answer in her heart.

The experience that had just happened, and Lin Yuan's expression, had already given her the answer.

Lin Yuan seemed to have heard this, and Kim Tae-yeon suddenly felt a strange sensation on the soles of her feet.

(300 words have been deleted here. There's no other way; I've revised it many times.)
"Unnie! Why can't I know? Don't think I don't understand. I know everything you and the other unnies often secretly watch together!"

"Are you trying to die?! Shut up!"

Kim Tae-yeon quickly reached out and tightly covered Im Yoon-ah's mouth.

A sense of panic welled up inside him: Did Lin Yuan hear that?

Did he understand?
This is so embarrassing! If he finds out about this, he'll want to die. I'd rather be stuffed into a sack and thrown into the Han River by Lee Boo-jin.

She was talking to her teammates while...

This feeling is simply indescribable.

Kim Tae-yeon pulled the blanket tighter around her:

That's how we discovered it just now. This little girl has a nose like a dog's; we absolutely cannot let her suspect anything again.

Fortunately, Yoona's attention was not on that, and she didn't dwell on it too much.

At this moment, Yoona was worried that the unnie in front of her had changed her mind.

If that's really the case, then the goal they were working towards together failed before it even began?
"Taeyeon unnie, do you think our group will be able to debut smoothly? Can everyone stay united?" Yoona's voice came from the darkness.

"Yes, we will debut successfully and become legends!" Kim Tae-yeon said confidently.

"Unnie! Aren't you being a bit too arrogant? You actually said we'd become legends?"

"Believe me, as long as we walk side by side with one heart, we will definitely become a legend."

As Kim Tae-yeon said this, what Lin Yuan had just said to her came to mind.

Since you think so highly of me, I'm determined to prove you wrong.

We'll do it no matter what!
"Unnie, I don't know why, but hearing you say that makes me feel so at ease. All the worries I had before my debut have vanished."

"We have the best company, the best team members, the toughest training, and the strongest support. How could we not succeed?"

Kim Tae-yeon didn't say who her strongest support was, but one name still popped into Lim Yoon-a's mind: Lim Won.

The air in the room fell silent again, and the two remained silent, each lost in their own thoughts.

After a short while, Kim Tae-yeon said, "Go to sleep, it's really time to sleep."

Kim Tae-yeon genuinely hoped that Im Yoon-ah would fall asleep quickly so that Lin Yuan would have a chance to slip away. They couldn't just stay in bed together until dawn, could they?
"Unnie, I really can't sleep. How about you sing me a lullaby?"

Upon hearing this request, Kim Tae-yeon burst into laughter in exasperation: "Do you see me as your mother, or do you see yourself as a baby?"

"Just sing one song, please. I really love listening to you sing," Yoona said sweetly.

Kim Tae-yeon said helplessly, "Then I'll only sing one song, and you have to go to sleep obediently."

"Yeah! I promise!"

Without any accompaniment, Kim Tae-yeon's clean and pure voice rang out in the room.

Her voice was like honey filtered by the evening breeze, carrying the clarity of morning dew in Jeju Island's citrus orchards.

When each syllable landed softly on Yoona's ear, even the air seemed to become sweet and thick.

The song Kim Tae-yeon is singing at this moment is a Korean folk song called "Moonlight and Honey Night".

The moonlight outside, filtered through the curtains, was gentle, but her singing voice was even softer than the moonlight.

Honey is sweet, but Kim Tae-yeon's singing voice is even sweeter.

Her voice blends perfectly into this folk song, presenting its texture in the most appropriate way.

She deliberately softened the ending of "baby" into the arc of a cradle rocking, with a slight trembling overtone in her throat, which is the "long crying tone" technique passed down from generation to generation by the grandmothers of Jeolla Province.

Yoona's eyelashes began to droop slowly, like the wings of a butterfly.

When Kim Tae-yeon sang the first chorus, Im Yoon-ah loosened her grip on the corner of the blanket;
When singing the second verse, Yoona's breathing rate began to synchronize with Taeyeon's breathing points.
When she sang "(The Flower of Dreams Blooms)" for the third time, a dimple suddenly appeared on Yoona's lips—it was the last ripple before her consciousness slipped into a dream.

As the last note rolled down the petals like dew, Yoona curled up, like a sleeping baby.

Yoona... has finally fallen asleep!
Her breathing became long and even, indicating that she was fast asleep.

Kim Tae-yeon sensed Lin Yuan's restless movement behind her, so she gently turned around, lifted the blanket, and mouthed to Lin Yuan:

"Don't rush, wait a little longer until she's sound asleep."

They waited for a full twenty minutes.

While waiting, an idea uncontrollably surfaced in Kim Tae-yeon's mind:
It is said that young couples who sleep with their children can only have sex in the middle of the night after the children have fallen asleep.

The husband is often impatient, while the wife frequently says a classic line:
"Don't rush, wait a little longer until she's sound asleep."

After a long wait, Kim Tae-yeon finally lifted the blanket with relief: "We can go now, hurry up!"

After receiving Kim Tae-yeon's instructions, Lin Yuan carefully got up.

He has excellent body control, and his movements are as graceful and precise as those of a feline.

He slowly propped himself up from the foot of the bed, controlling every muscle perfectly, without even the mattress springs making a sound.

When his bare feet touched the carpet, the sinking of the fibers was barely perceptible.

Seeing Lin Yuan's stealthy "stealing" manner, Kim Tae-yeon couldn't help but smile knowingly.
He's a born heart thief!

Lin Yuan successfully got out of bed and waved goodbye to Kim Tae-yeon.

Kim Tae-yeon waved to signal him to leave quickly.

Lin Yuan then quietly opened the door and left the room.

Seeing Lin Yuan leave, Kim Tae-yeon finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What happened today was more dramatic than anything she had experienced in the past ten years combined.

Actually, her feet weren't clean, but she didn't want to get out of bed to wash them.

On one hand, they didn't want to wake up Yoona, and on the other hand, it was a special way to keep a memento, right?
Just like many men who don't wash their hands for a long time after shaking hands with a goddess.

Thinking about it this way, Kim Tae-yeon suddenly felt that she was a bit abnormal?
Regardless, after going through all this turmoil today, she is now feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

Actually, she almost fell asleep just now, but she forced herself to stay awake because Lin Yuan hadn't left yet.

Now that all her burdens were gone, Kim Tae-yeon closed her eyes and immediately fell asleep.

Soon, the room was filled with her even breathing, which mingled with Lin Yoona's breath.

But after about ten minutes, Yoona, who had been motionless, suddenly opened her eyes—her eyes were clear and there was no trace of sleepiness in them.

She observed carefully for a while and confirmed that Kim Tae-yeon had indeed fallen asleep.

So she quietly got out of bed, carefully climbed out, and crept towards the door.

……

……

Back in his room, the first thing Lin Yuan did was take a shower.

As the showerhead was turned on, warm water washed over Lin Yuan's body, and the rising steam condensed into beads on the bathroom mirror.

He tilted his head back, letting the water rush over his taut neck, but he couldn't wash away the beautiful images in his mind:

As water droplets slid down the creases of his abdominal muscles, he suddenly chuckled—the events of the day were more bizarre than the most absurd idol drama.

"I'm sure I'll win this bet." GAKKI-chan's confident expression reappeared in front of Lin Yuan.

"Well, it seems I'm destined to lose this round." Lin Yuan sighed helplessly, "I only have one weakness, and it seems like that weakness is completely exploited by me."

But now it seems like losing wasn't such a bad deal?
Lee Boo-jin needs no introduction, and Kim Tae-yeon was a completely unexpected surprise for him.

Lin Yuan hadn't expected that this leader of Girls' Generation would be much more interesting than he had imagined.

There's an inexplicable sense of approachability about her, making her instantly likable. No wonder she's been popular for 20 years, remaining a benchmark for K-pop female idols even after Girls' Generation ended.

No wonder almost all South Korean female idols first and foremost replicate her life path.

At this moment, Kim Tae-yeon is embarking on her own legendary idol journey. She has a strong sense of autonomy, and Lin Yuan does not want to interfere with her path.

"Let's just leave it for now and let nature take its course," Lin Yuan decided in his heart.

The soap had been rinsed off his body, and Lin Yuan reached out to turn off the shower.

He casually grabbed a long-staple cotton bath towel, dried himself off, and went out naked.

The moment the bathroom door slid open, billowing white steam rushed into the bedroom like a tide.

Lin Yuan strode out, her wet hair still damp, her clothes glistening with water droplets that shimmered in the moonlight.

But the next moment, Lin Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted:
A tall and beautiful figure sat on the sofa—it was Lim Yoon-a, who should have been fast asleep! (End of Chapter)
