The concert started, but Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yoon were still waiting in the waiting room.
With a small monitor installed on one side of the waiting room, Jo Sung-hyeon and Chae-yoon could see the stage at a glance.
Chae-yoon looks at the stage with a curious look.
The Seoul Orchestra and conductor Jin Hyun-soo are standing on the stage.
Professor Shin Kyung-hwa was just getting on stage.
After one careful greeting to the audience, she sat down at the piano.
Today, Professor Shin Hwa is here as a pianist.
As a violinist, she is definitely beautiful and perfect, but… Today, I plan to hide that image for a while and reveal only my charms as a pianist.
Soon the concert started.
Jo Sung-hyun took a long breath as he watched Professor Shin Kyung-hwa play in a serious manner.
Today was not the first time I saw Professor Shin-hwa like that.
She was a performer, and Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yun have seen quite a bit of nervousness as performers.
I saw him perform at a concert held at a Korean university, and when taking lessons, Professor Shin Kyung-hwa personally played and taught me.
However, it feels so new to think that they will have to stand on that stage soon.
Chae-yoon, who was quietly watching Professor Shin-hwa’s stage, bowed her head.
Seeing such a child, Jo Seong-hyeon blinked once and then reached out his hand carefully.
pat pat.
Quietly, sweep the child’s back.
Then Chae-yoon opened her mouth.
“Dad.”
“yes?”
When the child called him, Jo Sung-hyun looked at Chae-yoon.
Chae-yoon’s voice was a little quiet.
He just didn’t seem nervous.
“Even if I ruin it… You can’t say anything.”
“What are you talking about. Why did Chae-yoon ruin it?”
To Chae-yoon’s words, Jo Seong-hyeon responded as if it was absurd.
It’s absurd that it’s absurd for a child to ruin the stage in itself.
It was even more absurd that Chae-yoon was worried about what Jo Seong-hyeon would say to the child because she had ruined the stage.
“Anyway, don’t say anything. Understand?”
Chae-yoon asks as if confirming.
Jo Sung-hyun pondered for a moment as to what to say, then reached out and gently stroked Chae-yoon’s hair.
The makeup artist at Pan Entertainment had been working hard on Chaeyoon, so she was very careful with her hands.
Chae-yoon leaned on Jo Seong-hyeon slightly as if relieved by that careful touch.
“Of course. There’s no way Chaeyoon can ruin the stage, and even if it does, why would my dad say something to Chaeyoon? You’ve been practicing hard and preparing.”
“yes… .”
“That was it. With Chae-yoon and Dad, we just have to play well, eat delicious food, and go home.”
“really?”
“Then, of course not.”
Jo Sung-hyun nodded and answered in a firm voice.
Chaeyoung smiles a little.
Seeing such a child, Seong-hyeon Jo picked up and smiled.
What should I say to this child?
What Seonghyun Cho wants to say now is… .
“I love you.”
I just wanted to say that I love Chaeyoon so much.
Because there are so many meanings implied in those words.
It also meant that Cho Seong-hyeon could forgive even if Chae-yoon made any mistakes.
Right now, even if a child performs poorly on stage, it also meant that it would be a beautiful performance for Jo Sung-hyun.
Because he loves Chae-yoon.
Because I have clearly seen with my own two eyes how hard the child has worked so far.
No matter what Chae Yoon-i played, Jo Sung-hyun could tell the child that he did well.
Because the kid did really well.
“me too.”
Chae-yoon smiles broadly and answers.
Seeing the child’s smile, Jo Sung-hyun raised an eyebrow.
how much time has passed
clap clap.
A loud applause is heard.
It meant that Professor Shinhwa’s stage was over.
And that.
It means that it is Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon’s turn to go on stage.
“Chae Yoon-ah, I guess we should go now.”
“… yes.”
Taking a deep breath, Chaeyoon gave a short answer.
Chae-yoon takes Jo Sung-hyun’s hand.
Jo Seong-hyeon looked at Chae-yoon’s small hand holding his hand for a moment, then moved on.
* * *
thump.
Cho Sung-hyun stood in the center of the stage with his violin.
The sound of footsteps is exceptionally loud.
The audience was quietly looking at Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yoon.
Still holding the child’s hand, Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon greeted conductor Jin Hyun-soo lightly, and then bowed their heads toward the audience.
The audience applauds briefly.
clap clap.
From their applause, embarrassment was oozing out.
‘What is the first face you see?’
‘uh? Why is the little boy suddenly appearing?’
‘Are you kidding me?’
It seemed like a lot of people, a lot of thoughts, were heard.
With a mechanical movement, Chae-yoon went to the piano and sat down.
It looked as if he was going to the piano to avoid his gaze.
It is unavoidable because it is the first time.
It’s not like it’s because I’m afraid.
Strong excitement rushed in, and my heart was pounding, so I went to the piano.
Seong-hyeon Cho confirmed that the child was seated in front of the piano and exhaled.
Every breath was cautious.
Hundreds of thousands of eyes are looking at them.
As if the Seoul Orchestra was fully prepared, Jin Hyun-soo nodded slightly as he looked back at Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon.
Chae-yoon was sitting in a position where she could see Seong-hyeon and Jin-hyeon-soo at the same time.
Jo Seong-hyeon is standing with Jin Hyun-soo and Chae Yoon-yi on either side.
The audience’s gaze was very blunt.
and.
Jin Hyun-soo’s baton was lifted.
At the same time, the song started.
follow.
Jiying.
Dozens of strings and wind instruments begin to play simultaneously.
Chae-yoon made a sound while pressing the keyboard softly.
The character of the song itself was soft, but it felt like it was making its own claim.
Chae-yoon perfectly captured that feeling.
follow. follow the other.
jii ing. Jiing.
The melody played by Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon was basically the same, but sometimes they felt different depending on their playing style.
Chae Yoon-i had a more upbeat feeling than Jo Seong-hyun, and in the case of Jo Seong-hyun, it was a calm and stable performance.
Such performances by Cho Sung-hyun helped to balance the performances of the Seoul Orchestra and Chae Yun-i.
He frequently checked the performances of Hyunsoo Jin and Seonghyeon Jo and worked together with the Seoul Orchestra.
Jo Sung-hyeon moved the violin bow, and looked at Chae-yoon’s side and Jin’s side, and tuned in the middle.
In a way, Jo Seong-hyeon was also playing the role of a medium that connects Chae-yoon and the Seoul Orchestra.
Jo Seong-hyeon is doing his best in his role so that Chae-yoon can fully perform on his own.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that Jo Seong-hyeon isn’t able to perform on his own.
He plays the role of such a tuner because it is the role of the tuner that suits Jo Sung-hyun the most and perfectly matches his performance in this song.
It will probably be different if you do a personal song.
Hands tremble softly
I could feel the vibration of the violin spreading through my fingertips all over my body.
Glancing at Chaeyoon, the child was also looking at his fingertips and continuing to play.
Like Jo Sung-hyun, is Chae-yun feeling something through her fingertips?
I don’t know, but I’m sure… The point was that Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yoon would feel the same emotions now.
Jin Hyeon-soo moved the baton quickly, then stopped momentarily.
At the same time.
The hands of Chae Yoon-yi and Jo Seong-hyun also stopped moving.
It was the same with the Seoul Orchestra.
For a very short period of time, such as 0.1 seconds, or 0.2 seconds.
Silence has come
Did the song end like this?
At the same time as some of the audience thought so.
jii ing.
Softly, Cho Sung-hyun’s violin cried.
His violin solo part.
The short solo ended with Chaeyun’s piano playing.
follow. Follow me.
Chae Yoon-i’s performance was brighter than Jo Sung-hyun’s performance.
There was light in the child’s playing.
It is soft but at the same time bright and bold.
Cho Sung-hyun’s, soft and calm… It was a slightly different style from a performance that seemed to regret or look back.
It was a different style of playing, so the balance was perfect.
It was the result of different viewpoints.
What kind of thoughts and emotions did Chaeyoon have when writing this song?
Jo Seong-hyeon was right next to him and watched the child get inspiration for the song and even write the song.
Of course, I could understand the song better than anyone else.
Obviously, I thought so.
But at this moment.
Jo Sung-hyun could realize that he had not been enough to interpret this song so far.
This song was made after going to an exhibition called Light and Music.
Chaeyoon made this song with the thought that she also wanted to be a light.
Because that was Chae-yoon’s dream.
And the child wanted Jo Seong-hyeon to be by his side while fulfilling that dream.
Jo Sung-hyun instinctively found his role in playing this song for a child.
that.
‘shadow.’
light and darkness.
The two were clearly opposites, but at the same time they were inseparable.
When there is light, there is darkness.
Because when there is darkness there is light.
Jo Sung-hyun was playing with the intention of becoming a shadow supporting Chae-yoon.
At least that’s how it is in this song.
I never meant to use the word shadow in a negative sense.
A being who never separates from Chae-yoon, who constantly watches and helps the child become a light.
Jo Sung-hyun became that kind of person in this song.
the moment you realize it.
After Chae Yoon-i’s solo recital was over, the part where the orchestra, Jo Seong-hyeon, and Chae Yoon-i all played together came.
follow.
🥺🥺
From https://noblemtl.com
Many instruments were played together.
At the same time, Jo Sung-hyun felt a thrill.
The song was perfectly balanced and playing as Chaeyun intended.
So the song ended.
Jo Sung-hyun lowered the bow slowly.
the world slows down
The child also exhaled and turned his head to look at Jo Sung-hyun.
I meet Chae-yoon’s clear eyes.
Her eyes twinkling like stars clearly showed the emotion of happiness.
this moment right now.
A child’s dream is very small… was done
