Seong-hyeon Cho looked back at Professor Shin-hwa.
Professor Shin Kyung-hwa was smiling while looking at Yoon-i Chae and Seong-hyeon Cho in turn.
Professor Shin Kyung-hwa asked if we would like to play together.
At her words, Jo Sung-hyun thought about it for a moment.
Normally, I would probably have accepted it right away and picked up the violin.
But this time somehow… a little hesitant
Coincidentally, despite having a violin that I brought with me to the recording today.
A little hesitation arises.
“Well… .”
As Jo Sung-hyeon let out a small sound, Professor Shin Kyung-hwa opened his mouth.
“Isn’t it great to play together?”
“No, it’s not like that. I am a little worried.”
The reason for hesitation and worry was not grand.
He just didn’t want to ruin the song Chaeyun had made.
This was entirely Chaeyoon’s song.
A song in which a child talks about himself.
He understood the inspiration he got from going to an exhibition called Light and Music through his own eyes, and solved it.
If I hadn’t realized what Chae-yoon wanted to say through the song, I wouldn’t have thought about Professor Shin-hwa’s suggestion.
Knowing the meaning of the child’s song, it wasn’t easy.
Chaeyoon put her desire to be a light into the song.
Jo Sung-hyun is actually… I didn’t think much of myself wanting to be the main character or to be the light.
Therefore, a manager or producer is a perfect fit for him rather than an artist who is revealed.
I didn’t want to be a star maker, and I didn’t have a lot of greed to become a star.
So, I was worried about whether I would be able to digest Chae-yoon’s song well.
‘It’s the first time something like this has happened… .’
I swear, this is the first time in my life that I hesitated to play, worrying about whether I could save a song like this.
Jo Seong-hyeon let out a small sigh as he thought about that.
He was hesitant because it was his own child’s song, but if it was someone else’s song, he wouldn’t have thought much about it.
Did you read the hesitation on Jo Sung-hyun’s face?
Chaeyoung opened her mouth.
“I want to play with my dad.”
“okay?”
“yes. There was a part of the song that I didn’t like… If I play with my dad, I think I can figure out what I don’t like.”
Chae-yoon clearly expressed her opinion.
There was no excuse for refusing the child as he spoke so much.
Jo Seong-hyeon glanced at Professor Shin Kyung-hwa again.
Then, Professor Shin Kyung-hwa smiled and nodded his head slightly as if to do as Chae-yoon said.
finally.
Cho Sung-hyun brought his violin case.
click.
His violin case opens with a small sound.
It wasn’t a very luxurious case, but it was still quite affectionate.
Jo Sung-hyun carefully opened the case and took out the violin.
“sounds fun.”
Chae Yoon-i says as she watches Cho Sung-hyun take out the violin.
At the child’s words, Jo Seong-hyeon threw away the last remaining hesitation.
There is no need to worry about ruining a song that Chae Yoon-i composes and a child plays with her sincerity.
All you have to do is play to the best of your ability.
With that in mind, Jo Sung-hyun tuned the violin.
After a brief tuning, when I looked up, Chaeyoon was looking at him with twinkling eyes.
“Shall we start?”
Jo Seong-hyeon asked the child with a smile, and Chae-yoon nodded quickly, as if he was afraid of changing his mind.
Seeing the child nod, Jo Sung-hyun raises his bow.
It was the second time I heard Chaeyoon’s song, so I couldn’t memorize it completely.
Put the sheet music in front of you.
Jo Seong-hyeon stood behind Chae-yoon and took a deep breath.
That’s when I was about to start playing.
“Hey, wait a minute.”
Professor Shin Hwa called them.
Jo Seong-hyeon paused at her call, lowered the bow again, and looked at Professor Shin Kyung-hwa.
Professor Shin Kyung-hwa, a little different from usual, raised his smartphone with an awkward face.
“I was wondering if I could film the two of them playing.”
“Are you filming?”
“yes. I want to show it to Seonghyeon. You said you were worried, but what kind of result will come out if you actually play it?”
“… … .”
At Professor Shin Hwa’s words, Jo Sung Hyun stared at her for a moment.
I’ve never made a filming proposal before, so it was a little new for me to make a filming proposal now.
That’s why I thought that Professor Shin Kyung-hwa was sincere in this performance.
With that thought in mind, I stared at Professor Shin Kyung-hwa, who opened his mouth as if making excuses for what he was thinking.
“Of course, the performers may feel it themselves. If you look at it from someone else’s point of view, it will also be new.”
At her words, Jo Sung-hyun smiled lightly and nodded.
“Yes. That will be fine. We often see each other playing on me tube. This performance is… It must be new.”
Seonghyeon Cho said so.
Professor Shin Kyung-hwa slightly raised the corner of his mouth and fixed his smartphone on the table.
“Can we start now?”
“When I’m ready, I think I can start comfortably.”
Professor Shinhwa says so and presses the shoot button.
Filming begins with a small ding sound.
Jo Sung-hyun turned his head and looked at Chae-yoon.
Chae-yoon swallows her saliva once.
Even before the child played the song he had composed, his face was a little tense and low in expectations.
Once again, Cho Sung-hyun raises his bow.
Chae-yoon’s hand goes up on the keyboard.
And so.
The two of them started playing.
Jiying.
follow.
playing at the same time.
In the beginning, Jo Sung-hyun didn’t feel very special.
No, to be precise… There was no time to feel.
Because I had to concentrate on the performance and pay attention not to make mistakes.
But the moment you get used to the performance and breathe with your child.
he realized
The song that Chae Yoon-i composed wasn’t just for Chae-yoon in the first place.
Clearly, this song was for Chae Yoon-i, but it was light and music expressed from Chae-yoon’s point of view.
It wasn’t a song that Chaeyoon would play alone.
It is a song that only shines when played with Cho Sung-hyun.
The child was claiming that she wanted to be a light, and she wanted to shine brightly… Jo Sung-hyun was always with Chae-yoon like that.
It also included the meaning of not needing everything unless it was with Jo Sung-hyun.
While playing, Seong-hyeon Jo had to struggle to endure the exclamation of sighs and joy that flowed unwittingly.
Because once I started admiring it, it just seemed to burst out of laughter.
jii ing.
follow me.
After the two of them play.
After finishing the video shoot, Professor Shin Kyung-hwa clapped lightly.
clap clap.
leaving behind the sound of her applause.
Jo Sung-hyun turned to Chae-yoon.
The child was looking at Jo Sung-hyun with a wide smile.
“I like it so much.”
Chae-yoon looked happy that the part she didn’t like subtly disappeared.
The child opened his arms to Jo Sung-hyun.
Jo Sung-hyun hugged Chae-yoon.
Gently kiss the child’s forehead and stroke his hair.
Afterwards, she turned her head to look at Professor Shin Kyung-hwa, and with a satisfied face, she lifted up her smartphone with the recorded video.
“Shall we take a look?”
“yes.”
Jo Sung-hyun gave a brief answer and checked the video played by Professor Shin Kyung-hwa.
As the video plays, Jo Sung-hyeon and Chae-yoon are reflected.
Seeing himself starting to play with a serious face at first, Seong-hyeon Jo had a strange expression on his face.
However, as the performance progressed, his face in the video began to brighten.
I just concentrate on the song completely, and sometimes I play while making eye contact with the child.
There was a bright smile on the corner of Chae-yoon’s and Seong-hyeon’s lips.
the video is over
Professor Shinhwa opened his mouth.
“how about it? Did you enjoy playing together?”
“… Yes. That’s right. Thank you for always. professor.”
Professor Shinhwa was wise.
Although Jo Seong-hyeon didn’t play it perfectly, the song was much brighter than when Chae Yoon-i played it alone.
After all, is this the master’s eye?
Seong-hyeon Cho once again admired Professor Shin-hwa.
* * *
Looking into the eyes of Jo Sung-hyeon, who was looking at him softly, Professor Shin Kyung-hwa muttered a sound.
When I first heard Chaeyoon’s song, I was genuinely surprised because it was such a beautiful song.
But at the same time, I felt something was lacking.
The song wasn’t lacking.
However, the performers were lacking.
It’s not that Chaeyun’s playing skills aren’t good enough, it’s that one more player is needed to complete the song… .
As far as Shin Kyung-hwa knew, who could create the perfect ensemble for this song, Jo Sung-hyun was the only one who suggested that we play together.
And it was also correct.
Although the performance itself wasn’t perfect, the song sounded richer and more beautiful than before.
‘You were so good at filming.’
Professor Shinhwa thought to himself.
She glanced at the video on her smartphone that was playing again.
At first, the filming was done with half the desire to show Chae Yoon-i’s performance to his friend Jin Hyun-soo, and half the hope that Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yoon would see themselves in person.
But now, I thought it would be a big deal if I hadn’t filmed.
Not only Chae Yoon-i’s performance, but also Cho Sung-hyun’s performance. And it’s a video of the two of them breathing.
While showing this, I’ll have to ask if it’s okay to have two performers on a special stage instead of just one.
‘Before that, of course.’
you’ll have to get permission
Professor Shin Kyung-hwa made eye contact with Jo Sung-hyun and opened his mouth.
“Seonghyun.”
“Yes, Professor.”
“Is it okay if I show this video to my friend?”
At that question, Jo Sung-hyun looked at Shin-hwa as if puzzled, but did not refuse.
“Yeah, I’m fine… What are you trying to show me?”
“This time, the Seoul Orchestra was preparing for a concert.”
“… Yes.”
“Because my friend is the conductor there. I asked them to organize a special stage.”
At Professor Shinhwa’s words, Jo Sunghyun’s face becomes mysterious.
Seeing his face like that, Shinhwa continued.
“I wanted to recommend Chae-yoon and Seong-hyeon as performers who will be on that special stage.”
Professor Shin Kyung-hwa spoke out loudly.
The faces of Chae-yoon and Seong-hyeon were surprised.
