When Chae-yoon goes to school and is comforted by Hyun-seo.
Jo Sung-hyun came to Pan Entertainment and was doing his job.
I want to finish preparing the album for ‘Heimdall’ as soon as possible so that Chaeyoon can play comfortably while on vacation.
There is no schedule for the concert, and now the only thing left is Heimdall’s album, so it wasn’t too much of a burden.
“good morning.”
Seong-hyeon Jo entered the conference room and said hello.
The members of Heimdall, Park Joong-won, and Jang Hyun-ah arrived first in the conference room.
Jo Seong-hyeon bowed his head slightly to Hyun-ah Jang, who offered him coffee, and accepted the coffee.
“hello. Producer!”
Heimdall jumps up and bows to Jo Seong-hyeon to greet him.
It was not long after he debuted, so he had a sense of discipline, and it also meant that Jo Sung-hyun’s position in the company had risen that much.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled awkwardly and motioned for him to sit down again.
“hello. I’m a little late because I brought the song files, I’m sorry.”
“done. I’m sorry for how late you are.”
Park Joong-won waved his hand and said.
He quickly reached out his hand as if to hand over the USB containing the song.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled and handed him the USB that the song had left.
There were a total of 4 songs, some received from external composers and some composed by Choi Woojin.
The song composed by Jo Seong-hyeon has not been finalized yet.
I put the frame in place, but I deliberately left it out because I couldn’t finish it.
“Let’s listen.”
Park Joong-won said so and played the songs in the USB one after another.
The first song to be played was a song composed by Choi Woo-jin himself.
A pretty bright, hopeful song.
Heimdall’s feel is good to some extent, and the details are well alive.
And above all.
“That’s right. is this? What you said last time.”
“yes.”
Jo Sung-hyun nodded at Park Joong-won’s words.
The songs composed by Choi Woo-jin had a common problem.
There were certain strange regrets, but I was able to solve them to some extent by watching Chaeyoon’s video.
This is a song that Jo Seong-hyeon brought with him.
“There is a sense of presence, for sure.”
“I tried to save it as much as possible, but the song is so good that it comes out even with a little touch.”
“… It feels really different.”
Park Joong-won and Jo Seong-hyeon were talking, and Choi Woo-jin next to him spoke with a slightly blank face.
Jo Sung-hyun shrugged his shoulders once at Woo-jin Choi’s reaction.
It wasn’t that Woojin Choi couldn’t write the song.
There was just a little bit of disappointment.
Jo Sung-hyun was also thinking about what it was, but he got a hint by watching Chae-yoon’s video.
‘It’s an idol song, so there has to be a sense of presence.’
A solo singer’s song and an idol’s song have some things in common, but there are more differences.
The most notable difference among them is performance.
The performance of idol songs stands out more than solo singers.
I had to create songs for the concert, and it had to be the song that suited me the most on stage.
It’s not about listening to music quietly and emotionally alone, but basically, you need to create a song that’s good to perform on stage.
Choi Woo-jin was definitely a great composer, but he had little experience as an idol.
Therefore, the regret that came out was filled by Jo Sung-hyun.
It preserves the sense of presence, but it does not kill the emotion of Choi Woo-jin’s song.
“Okay, let’s listen to another song.”
Under Park Joong-won’s lead, other songs are played one after the other.
Basically, Heimdall has a sensibility and a concept.
In addition to that, the expression of the concept of this album was well expressed, so the expressions of Park Joong-won and Jo Sung-hyun were bright.
Heimdall is in a position to be evaluated, and this is the song they will sing… Since I’m still a rookie, it’s hard to say anything.
All they could do was carefully watch the eyes of Park Joong-won, Jo Sung-hyeon, and Jang Hyun-ah.
In particular, I watched a lot of Park Joong-won, and he is the person who is directly in charge the most… It was also because it was the face I always saw at the end of the month evaluation before my debut.
“What do you guys think?”
Park Joong-won asked while looking at Heimdall.
Jo Seong-hyeon also turned his head to look at them.
The Heimdall members were just looking at each other, and Jo Sung-hyun laughed.
“Woojin-ah.”
“Your brother.”
“Everyone is stiff, so I think it would be better to talk with you first.”
Since Cho Seong-hyeon was best friends with Choi Woo-jin, he handed the baton to Choi Woo-jin.
Woojin Choi nodded and opened his mouth.
“I knew exactly what you were talking about last time. I will keep that in mind when working on it in the future.”
“great. Any other opinions?”
“Well… Personally, I don’t think there’s a sense of the title song among these four songs… Will your brother write it for you?”
Choi Woo-jin looked at Jo Sung-hyun playfully and said.
There is no doubt that the song Jo Sung-hyun wrote will become the title song.
Jo Sung-hyun just smiled lightly at his appearance.
After that, Heimdall was cautious in his opinion.
Jo Sung-hyun took notes of their opinions.
The meeting lasted about an hour or so and ended.
“Okay, good job.”
Park Joong-won finished the meeting with a light applause.
Heimdall left the conference room first.
All that’s left are Jo Sung-hyeon, Park Joong-won, and Jang Hyun-ah.
Jang Hyun-ah had been quiet until now, but opened her mouth as soon as Heimdall left.
“The situation is definitely bigger than the weekend, and it’s still getting bigger.”
“Well. I guess I’ll just have to watch it this week. The public opinion is not bad yet.”
“Yeah, the media didn’t openly swear at it because the JK group president himself said it was good.”
Jang Hyun-ah said with a small sigh, as if she was lucky.
As soon as Heimdall left, as soon as the story about himself and Chaeyun came out, Seonghyun scratched his cheek with a strange expression.
Seeing him like that, Park Joong-won opens his mouth.
“How is Chae-yoon?”
“I haven’t spoken yet. I didn’t get a chance.”
“okay? When are you going to talk?”
Park Joong-won asks that question and takes a sip of coffee.
However, Jang Hyun-ah looked at Jo Sung-hyun with surprised eyes.
“Seniors?”
Jo Seong-hyeon made eye contact with Jang Hyun-ah at the voice that called her in surprise.
When Park Joong-won and Jang Hyun-ah looked surprised, they looked at her as if wondering.
“Didn’t Chae-yoon go to school right now?”
“… I went to school Why?”
“uh… .”
Jang Hyun-ah shook her head slightly, then opened her mouth and continued.
“It’s because kids these days are more aware of how the world is going.”
“… yes.”
“Especially, Chaeyoon’s school is more sensitive than other schools in this regard.”
It’s a natural thing because it’s a private school and it specializes in the arts.
As soon as Jang Hyun-ah spoke up to that point, Jo Sung-hyun also had a face that said “Okay.”
he realized his mistake.
“It would have been nice if the senior would have let you know… When Chae-yoon goes to school and hears things like that from the kids… .”
Jang Hyun-ah blurted out the end of her speech.
Jo Seong-hyeon’s face turned pale.
* * *
I had no mind at all.
I thought that I couldn’t speak because I didn’t have a chance to speak, but in fact, I may have just postponed it because I didn’t want to see my child sad.

Maybe it’s because Chaeyoon is hurting more because she doesn’t want to see her child sad.
Jo Sung-hyun didn’t have the courage to speak up, so he couldn’t concentrate on his work, thinking that Chae-yoon might have been hurt more.
He looked at the clock the whole time and got up and headed to school as Chae-yoon’s dismissal time drew near.
From https://noblemtl.com
Maybe it was because I was walking a little faster?
I arrived a little earlier than Chaeyoon’s school ends.
Jo Sung-hyun could not hide his nervousness while waiting for Chae-yoon.
From https://noblemtl.com
Maybe the child is walking out and crying.
Jo Sung-hyeon waited for Chae-yoon, trying to shake off the complicated hair at such thoughts.
and.
child shows up
Jo Seong-hyeon looked at Chae-yoon’s face and blinked.
The child’s face was clearly not bright.
A different face than usual.
But that wasn’t a tearful expression.
He must have heard something, but he didn’t seem sad or hurt, so Jo Seong-hyeon couldn’t understand the situation properly.
“Chae Yoon-ah… ?”
“Hello Daddy!”
Jo Sung-hyeon talks to the child who walks blankly, and Chae-yoon greets him with a smile.
Just before, he was immersed in thought as if he had a serious problem, but when Jo Sung-hyun spoke to him, it seemed to brighten up as if he had ever been.
“How was school today?”
“Well… The kids kept looking at me and asking if I was okay.”
“Kids? Hyunseo and Yeongjun?”
“yes. Hanyul’s brother too.”
“Did you hear me asking why are you okay?”
“People didn’t like it when you and I played together.”
Chae-yoon looked up at Jo Sung-hyun and answered.
Jo Sung-hyun nodded his head with a curious expression.
He didn’t appear to have been so shocked or hurt that people didn’t like his performance.
Jo Sung-hyun is a little embarrassed.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“Yes?”
The child responds half a beat late.
He must have been deeply troubled by something, but it doesn’t look like he was just shocked or anything, so I really don’t know.
“Shall we go home?”
“great.”
The child nodded in response.
Jo Seong-hyeon gently stroked Chae-yoon’s hair and took the child’s hand.
He didn’t know what kind of worries the child was having until after a long time.
Until dinner, Chae-yoon was quiet, as if seriously thinking about it.
With a completely different appearance than usual, Jo Sung-hyun couldn’t even talk to him easily.
After all, after washing with the child.
Drying his hair, he spoke carefully only then.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“yes?”
“What have you been worrying about before, so your expression is so serious?”
“… Why do people hate my songs?”
Chaeyoung asked.
Jo Sung-hyun paused at the question that came in.
As if Chae-yoon was really curious, she turned her clear eyes to Seong-hyeon.
From https://noblemtl.com
Making eye contact with the child, Jo Sung-hyun realized.
Now, Chaeyoon wasn’t disappointed.
It wasn’t even hurt.
I’m just genuinely curious.
How can you hate that song?
How can they hate their performance?
Chae-yoon made eye contact with Jo Sung-hyun and continued talking.
“Dad said he liked it.”
“… yes.”
“Why do people hate it?”
Obviously, I said I liked Jo Sung-hyun, but how can I hate it?
As if not understood, the child asked.
