In the midst of her rigorous practice sessions, Taeyeon finds moments of joy and camaraderie with her dancers.
The dance studio reverberates with infectious energy as they groove to the pulsating rhythm, their movements fluid and synchronized.
"Let's spice things up, everyone!" Taeyeon exclaims, a playful glint in her eyes as she encourages her dancers to push the boundaries of creativity.
Her dancers respond with enthusiasm, their smiles lighting up the room as they delve into a choreographic exploration. Together, they weave a tapestry of movement, each step a testament to their passion for their craft.
As they twirl and leap across the dance floor, laughter fills the air, a symphony of joyous abandon. Taeyeon's infectious energy spreads like wildfire, igniting a sense of camaraderie among them.
"Come on, let's add a little flair to this section!" one dancer suggests, a mischievous grin lighting up her face as she infuses the routine with a burst of spontaneity.
Taeyeon nods in agreement, her eyes sparkling with anticipation as they delve into the intricate choreography. With each twist and turn, they push the boundaries of their artistry, fueled by the sheer exhilaration of the moment.
The music crescendos, wrapping around them like a warm embrace as they lose themselves in the rhythm.
For a fleeting moment, time stands still, and they are transported to a world where nothing else matters but the joy of movement and expression.
Amidst the intense rehearsal, Taeyeon's concentration is abruptly shattered by the sudden appearance of her manager, holding a smartphone displaying a trending poll on Naver.
The headline catches her attention: "A collaboration highly voted by patients diagnosed with depression."
Her heart skips a beat as she reads further — her name and Baekhyun's are highlighted as the top pair.
Her manager's voice breaks through her reverie, "Have you seen this? It's making rounds on social media."
Taeyeon's brows furrow in confusion as she tries to process the unexpected turn of events. She takes the phone from her manager, her eyes scanning the article with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.
[+1196, -2] : bring back our life hope
[+887, -93] : I'd die of happiness
[+563, -112] : Please, I beg you
[+722, -3] : let's forget the past
The magnitude of the situation weighs heavily upon her, the implications of collaborating with her former flame looming before her.
Her manager's gaze is expectant, awaiting her response. "What do you think about this, Taeyeon? It's quite a unique opportunity."
Taeyeon's mind races as conflicting emotions swirl within her. She knows all too well the fervor of public opinion, the scrutiny that comes with being in the spotlight.
Despite the allure of the collaboration, she is acutely aware of the potential backlash from their fans.
"It's... unexpected," Taeyeon begins tentatively, her voice betraying her inner turmoil. "But, I'm not sure how the fans would react. You know how sensitive they can be about us being together."
Her manager nods in understanding, acknowledging the delicate nature of the situation. "Yes, I understand your concerns. But think about the impact this collaboration could have. It's not just about us or the fans, it's about those who look up to you both, especially those battling depression."
Taeyeon's heart softens at the mention of the people who have voted for their collaboration. She realizes the significance of their support, the hope and inspiration they find in their music.
Yet, the shadow of public scrutiny looms large, casting doubt upon her decision.
"I know," Taeyeon murmurs, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "But... is it worth the risk? Can we really ignore what the fans might feel?"
Her manager places a reassuring hand on her shoulder, offering solace in the midst of uncertainty. "Taeyeon, ultimately, the decision is yours to make. Trust your instincts, but also consider the greater impact of your choices. Sometimes, the greatest rewards come from taking the road less traveled."
Taeyeon's gaze lingers on the screen, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. In that moment, she realizes the weight of her responsibility as an artist, the power of her influence to inspire and uplift others.
"I'll tell you later."
