However, it was intercepted by Korea's defenders and keeper Choi Sooyoung who guarded the goal. The score 0-0 ended the first half.

"Girls, I'm sorry you have to watch this!" One of the staff stated and he sounded so sad.

"Nah! To this state, they did a great job! Can we see the squad now?" Seohyun answered tried to look cheerful.

"Please follow me!"

"Yes, we should!" Jessica smiled.

The staff opened the door for the girls when they arrived at the locker room. The squad were focused on the coach and they didn't notice the girls entered the room.

"We can do it!" Jessica heard someone said it. She searched it and she found out it was Taeng's voice. "I can run and I'm ready to fight!"

"Go on!" The coach let Taeng to speak.

"Even we lose, we lose with dignity! But we shouldn't give up. We have 45 minutes left! I can run, I can score a goal and I can hear our supporters screaming to cheer for us when we're left behind! They believe in us. Don't you think that in the other side of earth there are people who wait for our action? If we keep our head down, who are they going to believe in? We all can run, as long as they believe in us. As long as they scream for us, we can do this!"

Girls' Generation held their tears. Jessica stare straight at Kim Taeng who look at his teammates carefully. The squad nodded and they were on fire.

"So guys? Are you ready for this? Can you run?" The coach asked to the squad.

"YES!" The squad answered in unison.

"No, we're fine. We don't wanna miss the final. " Jessica blushed and smiled.

"I'm sorry you have to watch the first half with disappointing result!"

"Oh, don't worry! We are glad just to watch you in the final. No matter happens, you will always be our hero!"

"But I really wanna win!"

"Then you have to do your best in the second half!"

"I will!" Taeng smiled brightly.

"Annyeong haseyo!" He greeted Tiffany and greeted the rest who approached them too. "Are you guys tired?"

"No! Ah well, a bit tired but we're happy to be here!" Sunny answered.

"Don't be sick! Cause SONEs would kill me!" Taeng joked.

"Hahaha. No they won't! You are their president, right?" Tiffany asked and the girls laughed.

"Do you know about it? Hahaha."

"Yeah, sure!"

"Hahaha. Tiffany-shi, congratulation on your dating!"

"Have you read the news?" Tiffany shocked.

"Yeah! And Taeng was devastated!" Sooyoung came and it made Taeng freaked out.

"No, I wasn't!"

"Taeng-shi! Do SONE hate me right now?" Tiffany asked him and it made everyone silent. Then Taeng just smiled.

"They don't!"

"But..."

"You read those comments online, right?" Taeng asked and tiffany just nodded.

"They don't hate you. They were just shocked and emotional at the moment. So was I."

Jessica felt her heart ached when she heard his statement.

"Don't worry! SONEs won't leave you and the girls! Even though it hurt them but they will be back to support and love you. Even if you date secretly, caught by the media, breaking up or whatever it is. When you turn to look at us. We will be there to support and love you!"

"Well... Isn't that obvious? But with this pain, we will learn how to grow and to be strong. No matter how much we are angry at you, we will always behind you to support and love you. Don't worry, Tiffany-shi!" Taeng answered with warm smile.
