005. DDP dyed in moonlight.
“Oh, it’s cold.”
When Song Jae-ik had been practicing the piano alone for about a week, Eom Kang-seok was following Song Jae-ik with the Nutube outdoor shooting equipment he had bought.
It was a very simple device based on a smartphone, but this was enough.
For a light hobby, this was enough to take any video.
“Where are you going? It’s time for dinner soon.”
“DDP”
“No, but after practicing for a week, are you good enough to play in front of other people like this?”
After taking a video together in the practice room on the first day, Song Jae-ik went back and forth to the practice room alone, and when he thought he could play it once, he led Um Kang-seok outside to play the piano.
“that’s enough. that’s enough. Trust what people say Because I practiced hard by myself. It’s open 24 hours there.”
“Uh, whatever. DDP? Dong Dae Moon?”
“There is a piano there.”
Um Kang-seok remembered a piano performance video he had seen on You Tube.
Eom Kang-seok followed Jae-ik Song even though his face was full of doubts.
Right now, the main person on You Tube is Song Jae-ik. And to see such a confident appearance made me even more curious about the results.
“But would it be okay with just one small star?”
While listening to Song Jae-ik a few times while practicing, the only thing he saw was a small star, so Eom Kang-seok was worried.
It was because playing the piano to be uploaded on You Tube in a crowded place like DDP also meant that there were fewer opportunities for editing to look good.
I don’t know if Song Jae-ik, even though he can’t play well, uploads one of the best songs through reshoots on You Tube, but it was clear that DDP had a lot of eyes.
It was certain that it would not be good in many ways if there were comments like saying that the video is the best one after playing it dozens of times.
“yes. Well. Once will be enough.”
Contrary to Um Kang-seok’s concerns, however, Song Jae-ik had a confident expression.
—
“Ugh. Noise is noise.”
On the piano that anyone can play near the entrance of the DDP, fussy elementary school students were banging the keys here and there, and the people around them were frowning at the noise.
In particular, it was enough for passers-by to frown and get out of the spot quickly, but the pain of the people who resided there especially increased.
From going to work to leaving work, someone had to listen to the sound of the piano as it was making noise.

Like now.
In particular, the owner of the cafe, who was seated where the sound of the piano could be heard, was sighing. Customers just passed the cafe thanks to the noise of the piano.
An act that is nothing more than random tapping rather than literally hitting the keyboard.
The parents who were watching the scene were busy taking pictures of the scene, far from stopping them, so the noise seemed to continue for a while.
“ha. Should I tell him to move the piano?”
Of course, even when I first got a piano, and because people who could play the piano came and played the piano, it helped a lot, but these days I feel more stressed than the frequency.
And in front of the cafe owner thinking that way, someone sighed and tilted his head while ordering a coffee.
“What are you going to eat?”
“I’m dying.”
“Ah, I’m floating with one.”
“yes. Wait.”
“Make no mistake. One time, one time.”
“That’s true. Have some faith when people say it.”
“Ugh. Hey, I’m filming a video, so try playing it on the piano. It takes only a moment to become a genre gag.”
‘Are you trying to play the piano? Naturber?’
The owner of the cafe thought that he had come to take a picture of the man playing the piano when he saw the man holding a cell phone camera with various accessories in his hand.
‘Is it good enough to film? I don’t think I can hit it at all. Well, no matter who hits it, it’ll be better than that noise.’
Anyway, I pushed out my coffee, hoping that it would be better than the noise that had just taken up most of the morning.
And since there were no customers anyway, the owner of the cafe closely watched their actions.
“Looks like you’re going to Nutuburn.”
The man holding the camera pointed the camera at the piano as usual, while another man sat down in front of the piano and slowly pressed the keys one by one.
It’s like someone playing the piano for the first time.
Sometimes I nodded my head and smiled as if I was in a good mood.
“is not it? Are you doing some independent film?”
While Song Jae-ik checked the piano keys for a while, the owner of the cafe tilted his head, but was busy making coffee for the customers who came to the cafe, which soon became quiet.
“uh?”
And when I was almost done making coffee, I heard the sound of a piano between the songs in the cafe that I had played at the cafe because I didn’t want to hear the noise.
“starlet?”
A little star that we commonly know as children’s songs. Literally, it was really easy music, so the cafe owner laughed and hummed the lyrics to the piano.
“Twinkle twinkle little star~ It shines beautifully.”
Still, how good is it compared to the noise I heard earlier? I don’t think my piano playing skills are that bad either.
“uh?”
And when he thought the song of the little star he knew was over.
The man who played the piano continued playing the piano again, not the end.
“good···. all.”
Even though the piano the man was still playing was a small star.
It was definitely not the little star I had just heard about.
“Little Star 12 variations?”
Because with the variation, it has become a little star with a more colorful and rich feeling.
And obviously, his piano skills were better than before. Even though it’s a bit difficult to play.
And Song Jae-ik’s performance continued for nearly 14 minutes with a total of 12 variations.
Even the footsteps of passers-by who were listening to the performance were caught.
And when the seventh variation was performed, dozens of people passing by the piano were listening to the sound of Song Jae-ik’s piano as if possessed by something.
—
“No, crazy.”
Eom Kang-seok, who was watching the scene from a step back from the camera, couldn’t close his mouth as if it was nonsense.
Even when I first hit the keyboard, I thought it wasn’t bad. Is it just the right piano playing level?
Even if you’re not an expert, I’ve seen a lot of Naturube piano content since Song Jae-ik said he uploads piano videos.
“But what is that performance now? What the hell is he?”
I laughed when the little star played. When the first variation was made, I was amazed, and when the second variation was made, I had questions.
When I reached the twelfth variation after passing through the third, fourth, and fifth variations, I was literally speechless and just stared blankly at Song Jae-ik’s performance.
A total of 12 variations. It was obviously a repetition of the same song, but the little star he knew had long since disappeared, and the little star he had never heard of was playing on this piano.
That’s a very cool little star.
The little star spreading from Song Jae-ik’s fingertips was enough to make everyone around the piano stop.
Apparently, only the sound of Song Jae-ik’s piano resonated in a space in DDP that had been noisy until just now.
“ah···.”
And with the end of Little Star, until the moment Song Jae-ik stood up, Um Kang-seok couldn’t shake off his daze, and it wasn’t just Um Kang-seok.
only one. Except for Song Jae-ik, most of them who listened to this piano probably felt the same way as Um Kang-seok.
And it wasn’t until very little time had passed after the performance was over.
People applauded.
—
“What are you?”
After the nearly 15-minute performance, Um Kang-seok, handing over an Americano to Song Jae-ik, who was sweating even though it was still cold winter, asked with a disbelieving expression.
“what?”
However, Song Jae-ik’s expression when he answered that was rather calm. It’s like what’s the problem.
“no. Wow, that was really dope.”
What are you going to say now? Song Jae-ik literally proved it.
“Uh. My fingertips are tingling.”
Song Jae-ik laughed as he felt the tingling of his fingertips.
There was obviously joy in playing, but at the same time I got one certainty.
The conviction that the more you use your abilities, the faster your digestion will be.
“Did the recording go well?”
At Song Jae-ik’s words, Um Kang-seok quickly looked back at the video recorded on his phone and nodded in satisfaction.
Although it was a little disappointing that the reaction of the surroundings could not be fully captured because there was only one camera.
“there.”
And someone approached Song Jae-ik, who was clenching and opening his fists, and spoke cautiously.
“yes?”
“Are you playing any more?”
In response to that question, Um Kang-seok hurriedly turned on the camera.
I looked at Song Jae-ik.
“If you play more, I want to listen and move. I loved playing! Are you uploading to You Tube?”
As he handed over a scone from the cafe next door, Eom Kang-seok looked at Song Jae-ik, and Song Jae-ik stretched his fingertips and accepted the scone.
“yes. It’s going to be uploaded, but this is the first video, so there won’t be any videos yet.”
Aren’t you the first fan? This kind of service could be enough.
“Is there a song you want to hear?”
Besides, it seemed like Um Kang-seok was also recording.
“uh. The Pirates of the Caribbean OST?”
“Pirates of the Caribbean OST? You mean that famous song?”
“yes!”
“Do you know that song?”
At Um Kang-seok’s question, Song Jae-ik shrugged and played the Pirates of the Caribbean OST video on You Tube.
A video of about 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
This is what I felt while practicing in the practice room recently, but I could recall most of the songs I had heard or played once in my head without difficulty.
Because they did not know such a situation, the woman who asked for the Pirates of the Caribbean OST and Um Kang-seok also tilted their heads.
Nodding your head while watching that video right now doesn’t mean you don’t know that song.
However, the problem was that the song was not at a level that could be counted as watching the video once, so the woman who asked for the song looked at Song Jae-ik approaching the piano with some doubts and anxiety.
“Well. Whoa…”
Song Jae-ik took a deep breath in front of the piano. There were no more doubts.
Because the melody of Pirates of the Caribbean that I saw on You Tube was already being drawn in my head.
It feels like the notes are being stamped on the music paper in my head.
Then he raised his hand slightly to play the keyboard.
The eyes of the surroundings were focused again, and Song Jae-ik focused his entire attention on the piano.
Ding-
The first note sounded, and the second and third keys made sounds in succession, and the sound soon became music, filling the space where the winter energy had not yet gone.
It’s not peaceful music waiting for a warm spring, but with intense music that makes you feel like you’re fighting with Black Pearl right away.
When the second song ended like that, people who had their eyes on them clapped their hands together with fervent cheers.
“Encore! Encore!”
Starting with someone’s encore, many people shouted encore.
At that timing, the bloating disappeared and I realized that the piano talent I had seen on the way here had been digested.
This digestion took quite a long time. And it raised the expectation that great progress would be made in the piano.
‘Shall we try one last thing? What do you use to make the ending?’
Suddenly, when I looked at the DDP sky where the sun was setting and the moon was rising, a song suddenly came to my mind.
When Song Jae-ik pressed the piano keys, recalling the moonlight.
It was obviously DDP, where the New Year’s Day was over and winter had not yet gone, but as German poet and music critic Ludwig Rellstaff said about Beethoven’s Moonlight.
In Song Jae-ik’s performance, it seemed as if he could see a small boat floating on the moonlit Lake Lucerne.
