Chapter 48 Lim Yoon-a
Jiang Yan nodded in realization, then smiled gently: "You don't need to worry too much. Min Zheng isn't that kind of person. If she knew you'd have more time to practice, she'd only be happy for you."
He paused, looking at Liu Zhimin's still somewhat nervous expression, and added, "If you really can't bring yourself to say it, I can help you talk to her, but I think she would be happier if you told her yourself."
Liu Zhimin bit her lower lip and thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and raised her head, her eyes filled with determination: "Thank you, Oppa. You're right. I'll go tell her myself. Minjung is so honest with me. It would be too unfair of me to have someone else relay this kind of thing."
Jiang Yan nodded, a smile of approval appearing on his lips: "Okay, then go and tell her yourself. She should be home from school by now, you can message her anytime."
"Okay! Then I'll go practice now, Oppa."
"Go."
Meanwhile, on the sixth floor, in the production department.
The woman in the black baseball cap stood outside the door for a moment, her gaze sweeping over the metal plaque on the door frame before she raised her hand and gently knocked three times on the door.
Kenzie's voice came from inside: "Come in."
She pushed the door open, went inside, and gently closed it behind her.
In the recording studio, Tiffany heard the door open and instinctively turned her head to look. The moment her gaze fell on that figure, her eyes immediately curved into beautiful crescent moons.
"Yoona, what brings you here?"
Yoona smiled, took off her baseball cap, sat down next to Tiffany, tilted her head slightly to look her over, and said, "Tiffany unnie is recording her title track today, so of course I had to come and see."
Tiffany put down her cup, reached out and grabbed Yoona's wrist, her face full of joy: "Oh, why didn't you tell me beforehand? I was just asking Jung-hwan oppa about your schedule, and he said you've been shooting pictorials all week."
"We finished filming today, so we wrapped up early." Im Yoona let her pull her along, her gaze sweeping over the waveform on the mixing console screen. "I was thinking of unnie recording today, so I stopped by to check on things. How did it go? Did it go smoothly?"
"Hey, let me tell you, it went incredibly smoothly." Tiffany said excitedly, pointing to the empty space in front of the mixing console. "Jung-hwan oppa found a monster rookie in a small recording studio in Yeonnam-dong named Kang Yeon. Even Kenzie unnie took him on as her apprentice. He completely re-arranged all my title tracks, and they're so much better than the previous dozen or so versions."
Yoona paused slightly as she held the cup.
Jiang Yan.
This name was a blank in her memory.
It's not because they forgot, but because they never existed in the first place.
In her timeline, this name was not listed as a producer on Tiffany's debut solo album, "I Just Wanna Dance".
She remembers clearly that Lee Soo-man was the executive producer, Timothy 'Bos' Bullock was the title track producer, MZMC, GRADES, Caroline Ailin, Nicola Roberts, Jake K, Tesung Kim, and Tiffany herself.
What she could never forget was that, in her timeline, Tiffany's album went smoothly from production to promotion, without experiencing the setbacks of having more than a dozen versions rejected, and without any "monster rookie picked up from a small recording studio in Yeonnam-dong".
This Jiang Yan appeared out of nowhere.
Yoona lowered her eyelashes, looking at the slightly swaying water in the glass. Her heart was in turmoil, but she maintained a shocked expression on her face.
She covered her mouth and asked, "Jiang Yan? I've never heard of that name before. Is that his real name?"
"Yes." Kenzie replied without turning her head, making a slight adjustment to the clippers with her fingers. "She's still in university, a sophomore in the Department of Practical Music at Seoul Variety University, and has only been with the company for three days."
Lin Yoona's body trembled almost imperceptibly.
That's her real name. She's a sophomore in college and has only been with the company for three days.
In her memory, there had never been a young producer named Kang Yeon in SM's production department, let alone a college student in his early twenties who could take on the task of adapting a Girls' Generation member's solo title track in his first week at the company.
"You know, it's really amazing." Tiffany, completely oblivious to her unease, gestured with her hands as she tried to describe the feeling. "How should I put it... the previous dozen or so versions were technically flawless, but when I sang them, I always felt like I was missing something, like there was a wall between me and the music. After he listened to them, he said something really strange to me."
"What did you say?" Im Yoona asked, following her words.
"He said the arrangement was out of touch with you." Tiffany repeated Jiang Yan's words in the recording studio that day, and laughed at the end. "Can you imagine? A junior who just joined the company said to Kenzie unnie that her arrangement was out of touch with the singer."
Hearing this, Lim Yoona twitched the corner of her mouth. In her timeline, this was also impossible.
Kenzie's arrangement was overturned to his face by a newcomer?
Are you kidding me? What kind of newcomer could have such great skills?
So that person also traveled from another timeline.
But why is he able to change these things? Doesn't it come with a backlash?
She has been on this timeline for several years, from 2012 to 2016, carefully retracing her life experiences.
Every decision she made, every word she uttered, and every trip she took was kept as consistent as possible with her memory.
Because she knew she couldn't easily change those important things; the more people knew about something, the greater the backlash she would suffer if she changed it.
Moreover, it's not just themselves who will suffer collateral damage; others will also be caught in the crossfire.
She tried it one late autumn night in 2013.
That day, Seoul was experiencing its last freezing rain before winter.
She stood at the corner of the narrow alley behind the company, ready to stop Jessica from seeing that person.
She waited for nearly forty minutes, her hands and feet almost numb from the cold, but she knew she had to wait.
What happened afterward still sends a chill down Yoona's spine whenever she recalls it.
Just then, Jessica came out of the back door, and she was about to go forward. But as soon as she took a step and before she could even speak, an invisible force, like an icy hand, slammed into the back of her neck.
It was a tearing sensation that couldn't be described in words, like countless transparent threads being pulled out one by one from her blood vessels and meridians.
She was frozen in place, unable to move even an eyelash.
She saw Jessica bend down and get into the back seat of the van, and the door slammed shut.
The taillights came on, and the red light trailed two blurry streaks of water as it disappeared into the alleyway.
At that very moment, the force suddenly dissipated, and Lin Yoona's legs went weak, causing her to kneel on the cold cement ground. She coughed violently, her hands supporting her on the ground, her tears mingling with the rain.
She knelt in the rain, watching the direction the nanny van had disappeared in, and suddenly realized something.
Those things she thought she could stop were never within her control from the very beginning.
That cold rule was like a transparent wall, standing between her and all the key points she tried to change.
From that day on, she never tried to change those things that had been etched into the river of time.
She learned to shut her mouth, clench her fists, and pretend she knew nothing when every crucial moment arrived, pretending she was just an actor following the script step by step.
So she remembers very clearly that SM Entertainment has never had a person named Jiang Yan.
