Girls' Generation

Description

Remember the time when you were young and full of dreams? Well, Kim Taeyeon does but it is nothing more than a distant memory for her now. Married to a loving husband with a rebellious daughter and living with an overbearing mother-in-law, Taeyeon's life changed dramatically since she left high school all those years ago. However, a chance encounter with an old friend of hers, Kim Hyoyeon, brought back all the sweet high school memories from the years gone by. Hyoyeon is still chasing after her dream and is still as passionate about it as ever. This intrigues Taeyeon as she starts to think whether she is living the life she wants. She also wonders how life has been for Girls' Generation, her group of inseparable friends she made in high school but has not kept in touch with ever since they left.

But her life takes a different turn and she ends up marrying her husband who also happens to be her boss. Since getting married, Taeyeon has focused on her family and has abandoned her dream of writing. While she regrets not being able to do what she loves, nothing puts a smile on her face like seeing her whole family at the dinner table every night, even with an overbearing mother-in-law.

Even though she sometimes comes off as materialistic and selfish to her friends, they still love her and accepts her as their own. This behavior actually stems from the negative experiences she had while she was still a child living in Japan. As such, she believes that the only way out in life is to have lots and lots of money, fame and power. Jessica was the closest to Taeyeon in high school and they shared many secrets together. However, their friendship is broken when Jessica accused Taeyeon of betraying her. In a fit of rage, she vowed that she wants nothing to do with Taeyeon and the whole of Girls' Generation anymore. But what happens when they meet again years later?

She was also known for her rather ginormous appetite. Since leaving high school, Sunny has married what she thought was her Mr. Right. The couple runs a real estate agency together but in this time and day, who is willing to invest in properties with crazy high prices? This takes a toll on Sunny's relationship with her husband, who constantly accuses her of being lazy and blames her for not bringing in any business for the company.

She was the group's gossip monger and she would always update her fellow friends the latest and hottest gossips in school. While she mostly gets away with it, there were a few times where got her into trouble, and the most severe of this almost broke up the whole group.

Chapter 7: Good luck to whatever you'll do in future. We have nothing to say about it because that's your decision. But please, read my message for you. This song is titled, "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz. Hope you'll like it. :)

Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up
