Hanyul quickly finished the performance.
After the performance, the child nodded and bowed his head to say hello and ended his short stage.
Jo Seong-hyeon could find Chae-yoon, who was blankly watching Han-yul-i approaching.
It seems that Chaeyoon really liked the performance Hanyul had just performed.
Looking at the child’s expression, it seems that Hanyul knew that Chaeyun had positively evaluated the performance.
Hanyul’s face, approaching this way, was also bright.
“Brother, you are doing very well. I think I’m doing a lot better than when I practiced at the contest.”
“… thank god. I prepared hard.”
To Chaeyun’s words, Hanyuli smiles and responds.
Chae-yoon opened her mouth and started to talk softly.
It wasn’t overkill.
Because music was what my child liked more than snacks.
“A little bit more from my brother’s performance… It turned out delicious.”
After thinking for a while on how to express it, Chaeyoon frowned and finished her speech.
Everyone laughed at the expression that it was delicious.
Ahn So-hyun smiled a little and delivered Chae-yoon’s words to Sylvia, and Sylvia also shed a small laugh.
Hanyul looked at Chaeyoon, and then, as to what she was thinking, she glanced at the chocolate fountain and opened her mouth.
“Originally, it was just a strawberry, but now it looks like a strawberry with chocolate?”
It seems that Hanyul was impressed with Chaeyoon’s chocolate fountain soaking strawberries and eating it earlier.
But Chae-yoon shook her head.
“It’s not dipped in chocolate, but the strawberry tastes better. Just like the strawberries that Haeun unnie grows.”
chae yoon yi says:
Last time, when I went on a trip to the countryside, the strawberries I ate were really delicious, and Chaeyoon remembered that and compared them with the strawberries that Haeun Choi was growing.
It was impossible for Han Yul-i to understand, and in the end, Jo Seong-hyun intervened and explained the child’s words further.
Hanyul knew that he had gone on a trip, so after hearing the brief explanation, he nodded.
“It’s not that it’s added anything, it’s just that my playing has gotten better?”
“yes!”
He didn’t fully understand Chae-yoon’s words, but Han-yul understood what the point was anyway.
It’s not that I made the strawberry more delicious by crafting it, it’s just that the strawberry itself is delicious.
That was a compliment to Park Han-yul’s pure music, and the child felt better.
And naturally, as a pianist, I wanted to listen to Chaeyun’s performance.
Hanyul looked towards the piano.
Several children approached the piano and showed interest.
It was Hanyul’s birthday party, and the proportion of children attending increased compared to Christmas.
Naturally, more children are showing interest in the piano than ever before.
All of them were financially wealthy, but it was not unfamiliar for children to learn the piano as a culture.
From https://noblemtl.com
Most of them were just learning the very basics, but some of them took lessons from famous pianists like Han Yul-i did.
It was natural for such children to want to play the piano.
In the end, a child sits down in front of the piano with a glance.
Chae-yoon looked at her with interest.
“Are you going to do well?”
The child looks at Hanyul and asks.
At Chae-yoon’s question, Han-yul shrugged.
“I’ve been playing the piano for years, but you better not expect it.”
At Hanyul’s words, Chaeyoon tilted her head.
Why he said that it would be better not to expect, the child did not understand at all.
If you’ve been playing the piano for several years, wouldn’t you be better than yourself? Because I was having vague thoughts.
However, as soon as the child sitting in front of the piano started playing, Chae Yoon realized what Han Yul was saying.
If you ask me if I can’t hit well, I’m sure I’m on the good side.
But, it was just that.
Techniques aren’t bad, and there are moderately basic skills.
The problem was that it felt quite different from what Chaeyoon usually listens to.
The performance that the child listened to the most was Chae-yun’s own performance, and the performances he listened to the most were those of established performers who were recognized worldwide.
It may or may not have been natural for Chae-yoon to be disappointed with the performance of the child sitting in front of the piano.
A little disappointment, Chaeyoon did not hide.
No, I didn’t feel the need to hide.
“Not funny… .”
It’s not a bad play, but it’s not a fun play either.
Chae-yoon made that decision, so the child thought that she wanted to play as well.
It would be a lot more fun if I played it myself.
that’s what he thought
As Jo Seong-hyeon saw Chae-yoon having a conversation with Han-yul-i, he could see roughly what the child was thinking.
And Jo Sung-hyun had no intention of stopping it.
Perhaps it was the same for Ahn So-hyun and Sylvia, Sylvia opened her mouth with a smirk.
“If there are two or more pianists and there is only one piano, there is nothing we can do about it.”
she said
Seonghyung nodded his head slightly.
Piano lovers gathered here.
The desire to play was a natural phenomenon.
Han Yul-yi proposed to Chae-yoon first.
“Would you like to play?”
“… Can I do it?”
“What is everyone doing? No one will hate Chaeyoon just because you do it.”
Hanyul says:
Chaeyoung nodded her head.
The child slowly walks towards the piano.
The other children, who were hesitant about playing near the piano, saw Chaeyoon and backed away.
There were children who recognized Chae-yoon and got away, and there were children who did not know and just avoided him.
Either way, it was a wise choice to let Chae-yoon play the piano.
Because many people were paying attention to Chae-yoon.
Sylvia Garcia seems to be friendly too.
A child who seems to be friendly with Hanyul.
There were many people who were curious about Chae-yoon.
The child sat in front of the piano and carefully pressed the keys.
The child, who had been contemplating the song to play while checking the condition of the piano, looked at Hanyul for a moment, then smiled broadly, placed both hands on the keyboard, and took a deep breath.
And then, the performance began.
It’s a happy birthday song that everyone here knows about.
However, it was a little different from the usual happy birthday song.
A piano with the feeling of pursuing extreme freedom.
Perhaps Chaeyun felt something after hearing Park Hanyul’s performance, and threw away all the formalities and played.
that play.
“It’s like jazz.”
Sylvia says
Seong-hyeon Cho agreed with her.
Jazz isn’t meant to represent freedom, but it’s also not formless, brute-force music.
Chae Yoon-i’s performance, who wanted to throw away all forms and pursue freedom to the limit, was definitely jazzy.
As the child said, a ‘fun’ performance unfolds.
Park Han-yul looked at Chae-yoon and had a strange face.
he himself tried
While practicing the song to be presented at the contest, while playing other songs.
A child is obviously going to push his limits.
Little by little, I tried new things and tried to find my own music.
In that way, Hanyul thought that she had crossed her limits, and thanks to that, she confidently invited Chaeyun.
He showed his performance in front of everyone.
Of course, I played in front of everyone, but the person I wanted to show was just Chae-yoon.
He said that he had grown up like this, and that he ran so hard that maybe Chaeyoon couldn’t keep up.
I wanted to show you those things.
Because Chaeyoon will definitely like and be stimulated by her piano.
‘Maybe a little respect.’
It was Hanyul who was thinking like that.
As soon as I heard Chae-yoon’s performance, I changed my mind.
Also, Chae-yoon was Chae-yoon.
In terms of musical talent, I don’t have the confidence to surpass Chaeyoon.
It was not that Chae-yoon’s performance surpassed him.
However, Chaeyun’s performance clearly looked better than his own.
The difference wasn’t huge, but it was definitely there.
That was the problem.
Park Han-yul himself practices to the best of his ability and spends most of the day in front of the piano.
‘Chae-yoon is… It’s not like that.’
Nevertheless, there is a difference.
Park Han-yul admitted it.
Chae-yoon’s talent cannot be surpassed by herself.
However, the child had no intention of giving up on the piano or giving up playing the piano better than Chaeyoon.
The more talent you run, the more you have to work harder.
Hanyul welcomed the presence of talented colleagues and competitors, not despairing.
“I have to work harder.”
Hanyul muttered.
Chaeyun and Hanyul.
He was growing up musically, and the world that children saw was gradually expanding.
* * *
Hanyul’s birthday party ended in a pleasant atmosphere.
Chae-yoon played only one song and left, and did not show any desire to play any more.
It was because of the thought that other children would like to play, but… .
The children, who had been playing freely before Chae Yoon-i played, stopped playing after hearing Chae-yoon’s performance.
I would be compared, but I didn’t have any kids to play with.
Hanyul and Chaeyun were the only children who played to enjoy themselves.
At least, on the spot.
Even after the birthday party was over, Hanyul and Chaeyoon seemed to want to play more, but they were both exhausted.
In the end, Chaeyoon came home half asleep.
The weekend ended like that.
And then the weekdays came.
After sending Chae-yoon to school, Jo Sung-hyun came to the cafe alone.
As he drank a cup of coffee, he opened his laptop and pondered for a long time.
And, he was able to come to the conclusion of a dilemma he had been struggling with for days.
This decision was made after looking at the reactions of the Me Tube channel and listening to the songs he and Chaeyun had made several times.
Cho Seong-hyeon raised his smartphone.
– Yes, sir.
The person he called was also Jang Hyun-ah.
As if waiting, Jang Hyun-ah received the call.
Seong-hyeon smirked lightly.
Hearing her voice, I thought it was the right decision.
“Mini album, go ahead.”
He said.
A mini-album by Chae Yoon-yi and Seong-hyun Cho.
The participating artists are still unknown.
They do not know the timing, direction of release, or plans at all.
But anyway, Jo Sung-hyun decided to proceed.
