As soon as Cho Seong-hyeon went to work, he visited Team Leader Woo Kyung-soo.
“Come on.”
Team leader Woo Kyung-soo greeted Cho Sung-hyun as if he had been waiting.
No, actually, she was waiting for Cho Sung-hyun.
Because I had a conversation with Seo Ye-na.
Originally, team leader Woo Kyung-soo was going to tell Jo Seong-hyeon, but Seo Ye-na said that she had to talk to Seong-hyeon herself, so in the end, Seo Ye-na asked her directly.
“Are you here for the feature?”
“yes. You decide.”
Jo Sung-hyun nodded in response.
He was also not surprised that team leader Woo Kyung-soo knew about the features.
Because she knew it was too natural.
“Anyway, Jena came to the company today and wanted to work, so I was about to pick her up.”
“Oh, then I’ll go.”
“Is that so?”
Team leader Woo Kyung-soo asked with a smile, and Jo Sung-hyun shook his head without hesitation.
Although he is not a manager, he has experience and is confident in driving.
He also had a story to tell when he met Seo Ye-na, so it wasn’t difficult for him to go and bring her.
In the end, team leader Woo Kyung-soo handed the key on the desk to Seong-hyeon Jo.
“If you come in a little late, I’ll know you’re talking.”
“yes. I will come in slowly.”
Jo Sung-hyun answered like that, and turned around with the car key that Woo Kyung-soo had given him.
The car was parked in the underground parking lot, and Jo Sung-hyun drove the car to Seo Ye-na’s house.
Almost all arrived, but Seo Ye-na received a call.
Jo Sung-hyun answered the call through Bluetooth connected to the car.
“Yes, how are you?”
– It’s me. I heard that you are coming instead of Team Leader Woo.
Seo Ye-na’s voice rings out.
She had a voice that sounded a little anticipating and a little afraid at the same time.
I feel tense.
How many people make her nervous?
The fact that he became one of them was quite interesting.
Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth, holding back the laughter that was about to come out.
“It’s almost over. I think it will be there in three minutes.”
-Then I’ll go down slowly now.
“Yes.”
-Have you eaten your meal?
“I came to eat with Chae-yoon. If Jena hasn’t eaten, would you like to go eat something simple?”
– No, all right. I ate salad. I asked him if he hadn’t eaten.
Seo Ye-na answered like that, and Jo Seong-hyun stopped the car.
Now, in front of Seo Ye-na’s house.
Seo Ye-na was just coming out at the same time.
As soon as she found the car, she hung up the phone and got on right away.
“Shall we go straight to work? Or should I stop by a cafe and grab a cup of coffee?”
“… Let’s go to a cafe.”
“yes. All right.”
At Seo Ye-na’s words, Jo Sung-hyun smiled lightly in response and set off.
She knows that when you stop by a cafe and grab a cup of coffee, you don’t just buy a cup of coffee and go.
If it was just for that purpose in the first place, you could use the cafe on the first floor of the company.
Jo Seong-hyeon and Seo Ye-na took a seat in a quiet cafe.
After ordering, the story began in earnest.
Seo Ye-na takes a sip of her Americano and turns her gaze slightly to look out the window.
Seong-hyeon Jo was able to organize his thoughts for a moment, then opened his mouth.
“About featuring. I did some thinking.”
“… yes.”
As Jo Seong-hyeon immediately brought up the main topic, Seo Ye-na could no longer turn away from her.
She made eye contact with Jo Sung-hyun and nodded as if to keep talking.
Seong-hyeon Joo continued speaking slowly.
“I’ll do it.”
“… Really?”
In response to Jo Sung-hyun’s answer, Seo Ye-na opened her eyes wide and asked.
She had expected Jo Seong-hyeon to refuse.
But Jo Seong-hyeon couldn’t hide his embarrassment when he said that he would do it rather than say no.
In front of Seo Ye-na looking at her with her eyes wide open, Jo Seong-hyun nodded without hesitation.
“I thought about it a lot, and I came to the conclusion that it would be a good idea to do it.”
“That’s fortunate. being able to do it together. It will suit you well. Sunghyun’s vocals are good.”
Seo Ye-na speaks quickly with a pleasant face.
Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth with a smile.
“Yeah, I think it’s going to be a good fit, so I’m going to do it. Well… However, there are conditions.”
“If you tell me, I’ll guess everything.”
Seo Ye-na said in a bright voice.
No matter what Jo Seong-hyeon did so far, the conditions she offered were all reasonable, so she was able to say that with confidence.
“I want to proceed with the other songs first, and for this song, if possible, a little later.”
“like. Why?”
Although the situation had to be rushed, Seo Ye-na decided to accept the conditions for now.
However, I’m a little curious as to why.
“First of all, as an artist, Jo Sung-hyun is still very inexperienced.”
“ah. It is.”
“As a producer, I have some experience, but I have no experience as an artist at all, so I think I need to practice in many ways.”
Jo Sung-hyun answered honestly.
He was still immature.
As a producer, it is right to handle music well.
But that doesn’t mean I’m going to do well as an artist right away.
Seo Ye-na and others praise Jo Sung-hyun’s vocals, but… .
‘Not enough.’
There were many shortcomings for Jo Sung-hyun to judge.
Of course, when you look at yourself, you may see it a little harsher, but Jo Sung-hyun made a really cool and accurate decision.
His vocals are not bad to listen to.
But the breathing control and the part that goes along with other vocals. There are quite a few shortcomings.
In order to solve such problems, Jo Sung-hyun had to record in a state where he was properly prepared.
“That’s right. I see. Then we start with other songs, and ‘behind the scenes’ as much as possible later.”
Seo Ye-na immediately understood Seong-hyun’s words.
Jo Sung-hyun’s vocals are still at a good enough level, but if you judge yourself to be lacking.
If you give him a little time, he will definitely show up with better vocals.
“Then, let’s go to work soon.”
Jo Seong-hyeon glanced at the time and said.
Lunch time was coming.
Now that I’m off to work, it’s time to get some work done.
* * *
I work, I go to school with Chae-yoon, I go to school again, and I go to work… .
Daily life was repeated.
But even in the midst of repetition, something special always happens.
Today was such a day.
After Chae Yoon-i’s school was over, Jo Seong-hyeon didn’t go home today, but went straight to another place.
Professor Shinhwa’s house.
I wondered if I would go to the Korea University of Arts and take lessons, but Professor Shin Kyung-hwa said that school could be uncomfortable and suggested that he take lessons at home.
It didn’t matter if it was Jo Sung-hyun at university or Professor Shin Kyung-hwa’s house, so she decided on a comfortable place.
Chae-yoon showed a bright smile and was walking with light steps.
a rushing look.
Jo Sung-hyun glanced at the child and opened his mouth.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“Yes?”
“Do you like taking lessons from Professor Shin-Hwa?”
“yes.”
“why?”
“The teacher is good at the piano and also good at the violin. If you ask me, I’ll tell you right away.”
Chae-yoon said as if it wasn’t normal.
Seong-hyeon Jo laughed out loud.
If you ask me, I think it’s possible because I’m Professor Shin Kyung-hwa, who tells me everything right away.
The questions Chaeyun asked were of a higher level than I expected.
These are probably questions that are difficult to answer at the level of teachers at general piano academies.
He is a person who can answer such questions without any hesitation, so I can’t help but like Chaeyoon.
“I want to see Dolce.”
Chae-yoon said while humming a song.
Only then did Jo Seong-hyeon understand why Chae-yoon was so excited.
Taking lessons from Professor Shin Hwa is a great thing, but there were other good things too.
A cat named Dolce raised by Professor Shin Kyung-hwa.
Chae-yoon liked the cat quite a bit, and it was nice to see Dolce after a long time.
“Go see Dolce and take lessons from the professor. Let’s have dinner with Daddy after we’re done.”
“yes!”
Chae-yoon answered with a bright voice.
Ai and Jo Seong-hyeon were soon able to arrive at Professor Shin Kyung-hwa’s house.
And there, an unexpected guest was also there.
“hello. professor.”
“welcome. Chae-yoon, come on too.”
As I was greeting Professor Shin Kyung-hwa, a familiar figure appeared right behind her.
“hello. Seong-hyeon.”
“uh? hello”
Pianist Jeong Se-yeon.
She was at Professor Shinhwa’s house.
I knew that the two were friends.
Last time, the two of them performed together at the Seoul Institute of the Arts concert.
But, I never thought she would be home today.
Jo Seong-hyeon was embarrassed but happy, and Chae-yoon looked just curious.
The boy bowed his head and said hello.
“hello!”
At Chae-yoon’s greeting, Jeong Se-yeon smiled softly and waved her hand.
“Hello, Chae Yoon-ah.”
so say goodbye
While Chae-yoon is playing with Dolce.
Jo Seong-hyeon sat on the sofa and talked with Professor Shin Kyung-hwa and pianist Jeong Se-yeon.
“Are you embarrassed by meeting me suddenly without saying a word?”
“no.”
It wasn’t entirely without embarrassment, but it wasn’t a negative feeling either.
I’m just surprised by the unexpected meeting.
“Last time, I was talking on the phone. I’m going to try it in a fun format.”
“Yes, I remember.”
“For that, I called pianist Jeong Se-yeon.”
Jo Seong-hyeon calmly nodded and listened to Professor Shin-hwa.
However, after listening to Professor Shin Kyung-hwa’s words, Cho Seong-hyeon couldn’t calm down any longer.
“The person who will teach Chae Yoon the piano today will be pianist Jeong Se-yeon here, not me.”
“okay. thank you.”
As pianist Jeong Se-yeon is also a great pianist, it will be of great help to Chae-yoon.
Up to that point, Jo Sung-hyun was able to understand, and he was able to keep his composure.
Jo Seong-hyeon bowed his head slightly and greeted pianist Jeong Se-yeon.
As if it wasn’t Jeong Se-yeon, she quickly raised her hand and waved it.
“And today, instead of teaching Chaeyoon the piano. I’m going to teach Seong-hyun to play the violin.”
Professor Shin Kyung-hwa said with a slight smile.
Jo Sung-hyun blinked and looked at her.
