“It’s like I want you to look at me. But I turn my head every time you do.”

“I’m insecure and shy, so when I first meet you I probably won’t say much and quite likely you will think that I don’t like you. But I do. God I honestly do.”

The idea for our 38th monthsary drawing came as early as 8th March when I posted about the following video on instagram. It was a clip from the Happy Together episode where SNSD were the guests of the show. The hosts asked Taenggu to come up with a nickname for herself and she ended up introducing herself as the Shy Taeyeon.
Those days, I often saw an image of a blushing Taenggu in my head too. Coincidentally on that same day and the very next day after I revealed my intention to make a new drawing of a Shy Taenggu in the above instagram post, I happened to come across a couple of the following fan edited photos of a shy blushing Taenggu shared by fellow sones on instagram too, which became good samples for me when I worked on my actual drawing later on. 😍
I chose the following picture as my reference for the drawing as I thought Taenggu looked really shy here as she smiled and made eye contact with her fans during a fansign in Seoul.
So I did a sketch of Taenggu’s face based on the reference photo and added 2 pink blushes on her cheeks based on the “fan-contributed” samples for me. Then, I changed the original Brown and Choco (characters from LINE) headband that she was wearing to my own Bobo and Bun Bun one. (You may refer to my #37 MONTHSARY: REMINISCENCE OF K-WAVE 2 to recall who Bobo and Bun Bun actually are. 🐰🐻)
It was fun doing this drawing. While drawing, I kept seeing a blushing Taenggu in my head which was really cute. When my drawing was completed, I closed my eyes and gave her a peck on her cheek in my drawing. I opened my eyes and saw her blushing immediately on the paper as if it really happened for real. Hahaha. Nice effect of my artwork.
I feel like I can understand and empathise with Taenggu better because I’m also a shy, quiet and lonely person like her too. What would happen when 2 shy persons meet each other?? Would it be awkward or would the silence between us actually be a comfortable one? 😶😶
