Intermission (3)
Shin Ji-won was no longer surprised by Yoon Jae-yi’s playing, which even copied his past habits. He stood next to Kang Ha-jun, who kept his mouth shut.
“…really unlucky, right?”
“Honestly… it’s kind of like that. I envy him because he is good at everything.”
“Keep that feeling the way it is. I have to let go when Taehyuk sees it.”
“is it so? I didn’t think Lee Hyun-yi would have that kind of feeling…”
Well, Shin Ji-won thinks of Yoo Tae-hyeok and Jung Yi-hyeon, who see only the good side of each other, are jealous of each other, and inflame competition.
But you don’t notice the shadows hidden by perfection. This shade will be used as a device to understand each other in the second half.
“Where in the world is there a perfect person? Everyone lives with their own struggles, don’t they?”
“······Director. No matter how much I think about it, I think the role has changed.”
“No, our Hajun-ssi is perfect for the role of Lee Hyun-yi.”
is it? Kang Ha-joon was dubious, but what if the director said so?
From noble mtl dot com.
He said that the director also said this, but just like Yoon Jae said, he realized that he should pay more attention to the acting and not the performance.
“Director, can you direct me?”
In the meantime, after the performance, Yoon Jae asked Shin Ji-won.
“Mr. Jay… you’ve never been jealous of others, have you?”
“I am a person too. Why do you think there won’t be?”
The director and actors looked at him as if they were surprised by Yunjae’s answer. To be honest, I thought life would be fun because I was born like that and I have a lot of talent.
“Do you have a brother?”
What do they see me for? Yunjae slightly frowned.
“Yes. I am jealous, and I regret a lot.”
Regrets were in his past. Yoon Je-hee, who couldn’t overcome the illness he suffered because of his fame, was like that, and there were many lives he couldn’t save.
Jealousy… well, I probably felt it when I saw the news of the killing of the supreme leader of LIS.
‘I should have killed him with my own hands.’
Yoonjae knew that he was different from others. But I didn’t think it was special.
Rather, he thought that his best friend and comrade Jayden, who survived to the end and won victory without the same ability as himself, was more amazing.
‘If only my body was fine…’
In fact, he was in Jung Yi-hyeon’s position. It is also true that I have not been able to feel feelings such as jealousy or longing in my life.
However, when I heard the news of Jayden, I felt a complex emotion along with a sense of release that it was finally over.
If he hadn’t been discharged from the righteous army, he would have stayed in the military until the end. It was because he wanted to take revenge on Assad Yassin Qadir, who made him scarred, but also wanted to destroy LIS itself, which made Assad.
‘Ah, Yoo Tae-hyeok must have felt that way.’
The complex emotions and envy he felt while thinking of Jaden can be grafted onto Yoo Tae-hyuk. Yunjae’s expression lit up with realization.
“I’m glad you have it. I thought if I stab Jay, something like blue blood would come out.”
“Wow, Director. me too.”
“her······.”
Yoonjae sighed softly as he stroked my temples as if he were hitting a goal.
***
Yoo Tae-hyeok, who took Jung I-hyeon to the old practice room, sat down on the sofa and unwrapped the newly bought cigarette.
Cough, Jeong Yi-hyeon smelled cigarettes and coughed. It’s like a sannim… Yoo Tae-hyeok laughed as if it were ridiculous.
“You want to join our band?”
“yes. brother.”
“Sweep, there is no band in the crown…”
“Do you have a separate view of the band?”
“There is no such thing as a criminal like you.”
Jeong Yi-hyeon frowned. With his hair covered in straight hair, he wore well-trimmed clothes and looked like a model student, a young man with an upright lifestyle. In contrast, Yoo Tae-hyeok looked quite free with his long hair tied carelessly and sloppy attire.
“Play it.”
“What shall we play first?”
“what?”
Since the seat of the drum is empty, isn’t it natural to play the drum? However, Jeong Yi-hyeon spoke as if he could play any instrument in this room.
Until a few days ago, this line was not in the script. Session man Chae Jin-hyeok told the director an anecdote about the first time he saw Yoon-jae, and the director said it was a very good anecdote and decided to include it in the film.
“Then, try that.”
Yoo Tae-hyeok deliberately pointed to the electric piano. Jeong Yi-hyeon, sitting in front of him, learned the notes by pressing the keys one by one.
‘what?’
His clumsy appearance made him look as if he was playing the piano for the first time.
“Are you playing the piano for the first time?”
“Yeah, how did you know?”
“No, I was told to play, so I went on a blind date with an instrument and fell asleep. Aren’t you playing?”
“I’m going to do it now.”
Jeong Yi-hyeon’s fingers moved gracefully. Is it right to hit first?
‘what?’
Yoo Tae-hyeok shuddered. Listening to Jeong Yi-hyeon’s performance made my hands itchy.
Jeong Yi-hyeon, who played a simple jazz song, was looking at him as if he wanted to be evaluated.
“What, it’s not the first time. A performance earlier?”
“It’s true…”
“Okay, can you play the guitar?”
“yes.”
Jeong Yi-hyeon picked up the acoustic guitar closest to him. It seemed that it was not the first time playing the guitar that his posture came out quite well.
“Fingerstyle?”
The flamboyant guitar playing is sometimes mixed with body hits played by striking the body of the guitar. Yoo Tae-hyuk’s feet hit the floor in time.
The guitar is also of a high quality. So what about the drums? In the first place, Jeong Yi-hyeon came to fill the vacancy of Oh In-soo.
“Now play the drums.”
“yes.”
“for a moment.”
Yoo Tae-hyeok jumped up from his seat and put on his guitar. The interview is over and the ensemble begins. Yoo Tae-hyeok’s heavy and rhythmic bass cut off the start first.
The face of Jeong Yi-hyeon, who was paying attention to his brilliant performance, is also gradually reminded of red. He gives the signal that the drums are going in with a couple of powerful hits on the hi-hat. Soon the sound gets richer.
‘Hey, this bastard.’
‘fun.’
Yoo Tae-hyeok felt that he had found the same kind as him, and Jung I-hyeon’s heart thumped loudly at the first ensemble.
Each other’s gazes blend, and the space gradually changes. The sun goes down and rises again Living expenses increased in the practice room. It seems to be Jeong Yi-hyeon’s.
Along with that, the music gets richer. The guitar comes in. Watching the two of them change their outfits and Min Joon-young joins in to play, suggesting that quite a bit of time has passed.
“Let’s do it one more time.”
“I’m having a hard time.”
“Hey, Min Joon-young. You can do more.”
In fact, up to this point, Yoo Tae-hyeok considered Jeong Yi-hyeon a useful substitute. It was fun to play together, perhaps because Jeong Yi-hyeon was the first person to follow his level.
They put a smile on their lips and enter the improvisational ensemble again. Min Joon-young, who had been whining about how difficult it was, also focused on playing.
And Oh In-soo, who visited Ajitato’s practice room again, froze on the spot at the presence of Jeong Yi-hyeon.
“Uh, huh?”
Sreuk, thump. The performance is interrupted as Oh In-soo’s bag falls heavily to the floor.
“Are you here?”
“Uh… uh, you’ve already found a member.”
Even if he ran away in anger, Oh In-su’s seat was always empty. But now it has been filled with new people. Is there no place for me to return to? Oh In-soo, who was talking gibberish, hurriedly runs out of the practice room.
“Insu!”
Min Joon-young followed him. Jeong Yi-hyeon got into the mood and followed him. Yoo Tae-hyeok can see that the members to play with are following Oh In-soo, so he can’t help but follow.
“No, why don’t you just go?”
“I feel like I don’t need you anymore…”
“Hey, what are you talking about? You are an early member of our band.”
“I am a guest.”
“Guests insist only on Yoo Tae-hyeok. You are our drum.”
Min Joon-young, who was struggling to recover, glared at Yoo Tae-hyeok, who joined late. and spoke silently.
‘What are you doing?’
‘what.’
‘Hurry up and grab it too.’
Although Yoo Tae-hyeok was eccentric, he was not so malicious by birth. And while Min Joon-young was dealing with things like that, it was a bit like keeping his mouth shut by himself.
“Hey, Oh In-soo.”
I called the name properly, not the drum. Oh In-soo seemed very moved by that alone. At that gaze, Yoo Tae-hyuk scratched the bridge of his nose awkwardly.
“Next time, don’t fall behind.”
“Mr. Lee, is that what you mean?”
“If you come, come in quickly.”
With the permission of Taehyuk Yoo, the leader, Insu Oh entered the practice room again. Glancing at Jeong Yi-hyeon.
“But what about that person…?”
“Um, he’s a new member, but he knows how to play other things besides drums, so don’t worry.”
“okay?”
Oh In-soo sat down on the drums again. Jeong Yi-hyeon tied the guitar. That’s how the band Ajitato became a four-member system: two guitars, one bass/vocal, and one drum.
Yoo Tae-hyeok, who came up with a musical idea in an ensemble with Jeong Yi-hyeon, worked hard on a new song. Even so, he looked at Jeong Yi-hyeon, who was playing the instrument.
“It’s good.”
In addition to the guitar, Jung Yi-hyeon handled the bass and vocals without any problems.
Above all, Jung Yi-hyeon’s expression as he plays various instruments looks really fun, so Yoo Tae-hyeok’s expression looking at him becomes more and more complicated.
“Isn’t Lee Hyun a b*tch?”
“Doesn’t sound good. He even played bass before.”
“Have you heard his self-composed song? I thought we could put it on our album.”
Yoo Tae-hyuk hears the whispers of Oh In-soo and Min Joon-young. The genius of Jeong Yi-hyeon, who plays the instrument in earnest, explodes.
He is recognized by the members, but sometimes even threatens Yoo Tae-hyeok’s position.
Tae-Hyeok Yoo, who was writing down a musical idea he had just come up with, threw away his pen nervously.
“hey! Practice!”
“That bastard is f*cking again.”
And I had a fight with Min Joon-young and Oh In-soo for no reason.
“Hey, Taehyuk Yoo. Have you thought about what I said?”
Ajitato, who was engrossed in working on a new album without knowing that the gears were about to shift, faced a new phase.
This is because the media, which paid attention to Ajitato’s musicality and Yoo Tae-hyeok’s appearance, contacted him for a job offer.
“TV cast? Hey, that’s yes…”
“I’m starting art again.”
“Hey, Lee Hyun-ah. how about you?”
“What, what?”
After Yoo Tae-hyeok stopped talking, Oh In-soo and Min Joon-young spoke noisily. Everyone was drinking, but only Jeong Yi-hyeon was drinking cider.
It seems as if only Jeong Yi-hyeon does not mix among them, and it also symbolizes that only Jung Yi-hyeon stands out.
“Aren’t we too talented to rot only in this indie scene?”
“yes. Shouldn’t the music be enough to feed you?”
If I become famous on TV, I think I can change my parents’ thoughts. Jeong I-hyeon talked about his thoughts while watching Yoo Tae-hyuk.
“Uh… I think I’ll be fine.”
“Did you hear? It’s a majority vote.”
“You are the only one against it. If you oppose this, I will resign.”
A matter for the survival of the band. After all, he needed money too. Yoo Tae-hyuk eventually expressed his intention to surrender.
“Ha… I guess so.”
***
“Jay, are you ready?”
“yes.”
The scene to be filmed now is a scene in which Yoo Tae-hyeok imagines Jung Yi-hyeon playing and tries to imitate Jung Yi-hyeon’s performance. Yunjay deliberately cracked the handle of the drum stick.
“Can you really do that?”
“The director suggested it first.”
I wish my hands would bleed while playing drums like this. It’s a completely dramatic device, I hope Yoo Tae-hyeok comes out with a mad look. Yoon Jae also accepted that opinion.
However, it’s a pity that the fake blood wasn’t airlifted in advance, but I just thought of putting red makeup on my hands. However, it was Yunjay who cut the drum stick first.
“Let’s just go to one queue. If there is a problem with our actor’s hands, it will be a big problem.”
Coach Shin Ji-won was happy about Yoon Jae-yi’s fighting spirit, but worried about his injury.
The sound of the slate being hit was heard, and Yoo Tae-hyeok beat the drums in a trance.
At first, he boasted of really high-level drumming skills, but he thought he couldn’t do as well as Jeong Yi-hyun.
The shaking of emotions came out of the performance. As the performance gradually collapsed, it changed to the level of hitting and smashing rather than drumming. Sweat was dripping from his head, which was shaken violently by his gestures.
“Sir Baal!”
In the end, Yoo Tae-hyeok, unable to overcome his anger, nervously throws the drumstick away. And the drumstick he threw rolls across the floor, then bumps into something and stops.
It was a dusty violin case. The violin is a symbol of Yoo Tae-hyeok’s past and his lingering attachment to art.
Taking a deep breath, Yoo Tae-hyeok looked at his blood-stained hands.
It reminds me of the past when I was in the spotlight as a violin prodigy. And it’s getting to the point where you’re falling because your skills aren’t improving.
Still, he couldn’t let go of music, so he started a band.
From noble mtl dot com.
He wasn’t really a born genius. It involved a lot of pain and effort.
However, Jeong Yi-hyeon was different. he was a real genius I couldn’t suppress my feelings of jealousy despite the fact that I kept comparing myself to Jeong Yi-hyeon.
“Jeong Yi-hyeon…”
I got it by working so hard, but what is it that is so easy for you ?
