Chapter 149

The week before the next episode of the semi-final and final of <The Singer I Made> would be aired.

Thanks to the impressive hologram character that hadnt appeared for a while, it was lightly talked about on the Internet.

Its fun to see something new for the first time in a while. Ive seen them running out of all kinds of sportsman usable materials

The profile and concept art is coming out this week, right? Im looking forward to it. Its been so long since my heart raced when watching TV. Im flustered

I was surprised that his voice was so good, but he completely ripped apart the next stage. The bouquet head made my heart pound

From the first stage that seems to symbolize a groom on a spring day to the next stage where the beauty of tragedy is alive. Everything was good. (link)

Hes really good at singing, its his definite victory

Of course, because he had high-level quality and didnt lack anything, he naturally got popular.

And, of course most of Park Moondaes fans had guessed.

That the Groom in May would be Park Moondae.

Honestly, its obvious

Its so obvious. If you cant tell, you dont have eardrums

No, his skills got better. His voice seemed to have improved a lot since the American program, but how is this possible

The consensus is that its because hes a genius

Honestly, no matter how you see it, the character I had guessed the moment I saw him but hearing his voice, it was just as I expected

Seriously, the making of Magical Boy didnt go anywhere

But it didnt come out to the surface.

Thanks to having gone through so many suppressions, they had established a stance of not actively arguing when their opinions differed from the public.

It would be over once his identity was revealed anyway, so the fans refrained from speaking while looking forward to the reaction after that. It was to avoid the crazy people who sometimes tried to catch and ridicule them.

And at the long-awaited airing day for the second half of <The Singer I Made>.

These people who were looking forward to Groom in May waited for the main broadcast of the entertainment program for a long time.

Among them were this brother and sister.

Look. Its Park Moondae.

Yeah, youre delusional~

It was a college student, who was a fan of Kim Raebin, and her younger brother.

The younger brother was prepared for the older sisters curses to come flying as soon as he babbled, but it didnt happen.

Huft.

The college student put up with it and just laughed it off.

It was the confidence of those who knew the outcome.

Whats with you?

Fine. Just watch the broadcast.

The pissed-off high school student huffed and turned to the TV.

Still, as soon as the broadcast started, the siblings forgot the fight.

Because Groom in May came out on the first match of the semifinals between the remaining three cast members and one winner of the last episode.

[The audience is buzzing]

[Hey~ Im looking forward to it]

[I dont know what kind of performance hell show us!]

It was a reaction full of high anticipation from the audience and judges who had grasped the situation through the last two stages.

With captions and comments intersecting, the Groom in May finally appeared on the stage.

Heol.

Hes here.

The flying butterflies and the more sophisticated patterns on the veil and gloves were captured in the eyes of the college student.

It seemed they slightly reinforced the hologram.

I guess they poured some money because of the reaction?

The main vocalist of the first-tier idol group came out, so the college student snorted, saying that it was only natural.

Hey, here it is! Here it is!

Be quiet!

On the dark stage, only the hologram shone alone.

And the accompaniment played out.

The sweet and clear sounds of violins and oboes filled the space.

The stage was filled with bright, glaring lights. With the flowers swaying, the groom raised his right hand and gently placed it on the microphone.

My world is

A place free of sorrow

Only joy

I share it with you

Huh? That

Shh!

After the sweet line, a lower and more desperate line followed.

In my world

Theres no darkness

Bright starlight

Shine on you

Wow.

This time, the siblings opened their mouths and looked at the screen, forgetting to prevent each other from getting in the way.

Groom in May was singing a duet song that both a man and a woman sing together.

It was a very romantic song, famous for its fairy tale lyrics and lyrical melodies.

And another characteristic of this song was that it was often used as a wedding song.

Sometimes sad days

Will come to find us

Please stay in this world

My love

Your world

in a warm hug

to keep the promise

In the original song, the lyric was composed and solidified by two people exchanging melodies with each other.

However, sung alone by Groom in May, the wedding song had changed its nuance and completely turned into a song of perfect courtship.

Unlike the graceful marriage proposal song in the preliminaries stage, the composition that crossed the heights of men and women, like the tail feathers of courting peacocks, captivated the ears.

It really sounds nice.

Its a country-style song, but why is it good?

The brother and sister were completely immersed in the song and listened to the rest of the song in silence.

The subtitles were frantic too.

[The love conveyed by Groom in May]

[Falling in love with his sweet voice]

The faces of the judges with closed eyes and the judges with their eyes wide open looking at the stage crossed each other.

Hes going to the final round, right?

Definitely.

Watching the Groom in May bow down again after finishing the song and then slowly disappear, the siblings expressed the same opinion for the first time in a long time.

And, just as they predicted, The Groom in May advanced to the final.

[The 2nd finalist is Groom in May]

Yeeeess!

Hey, if he doesnt make it to the final, the result must be manipulated.

As if watching a sports game, the siblings swung the remote control at the TV excitedly.

And the profiles of the semi-finalists were introduced at length.

This content was to fill the time, but there were cases where a well-made character profile caught peoples interests.

The Groom in May was like that.

Crazy He can only sing love songs until he meets his bride;; Whats with the concept

So Winter Night, which he sang in the finals, was the time when he met the bride and lost her, then he was finally able to sing a breakup song?

Heol

Youre such an interpreter

The bouquet head only has flowers that bloom in May The Groom in May If he get married in another month, the flowers change

Please brainwash him until he becomes the Groom in June. Its June right now

When he gets married, the head of the flower changes to the brides ideal type. This setup is too much but its great

As soon as the profile appeared, the college student browsed through SNS and felt proud.

Park Moondae is really good at things like this!

And she was sure once again. This must be Park Moondae!

What would you do if he is really Park Moondae?

I think youll get humiliated if you keep being like this.

Hey, do you want to bet 100,000 won?

Wow, thank you for the allowance.

Right before the final stage, the siblings even decided to make a high-stakes bet.

The two people that couldnt turn back anymore stared at the TV with serious faces.

Even if he fails here, Ill win, right?

Saying that from my point of view, yes.

The two roughly skipped the first stage of the final. An old-fashioned chicken with a tinfoil ribbon sang a fun samba, but it wasnt particularly exciting.

And finally His turn had come.

The Groom in May reappeared on stage.

[Wooow!]

A red butterfly flew away, and a bouquet of flowers was shining through the white veil.

Groom in May held his standing microphone with both of his hands covered in white gloves.

And the stage went dark.

Clang.

Several lights from all directions shot down toward the hologram.

It was dark red.

!

The lights shook distortedly.

Then, an ominous sound began to ring out.

Shhhh-shhhh-

The sound of sogeum[1]The sogeum is a small bamboo transverse flute used in traditional Korean music. Sumber: Wiki. leaking like the wind was mixed with the frantic sound of a flute going back and forth between notes, creating a strange atmosphere.

A slow drum beat rang out.

Boom Boom Boom

It was chilly.

In that eerie atmosphere, the Groom in May began to sing.

The white suit was stained with mottled red light.

On the eve of April

I cant even see the moon

You dont come

Love is rotting away

A slightly hoarse, scraping sound echoed across the stage.

Perhaps because of the shaking of the lights, the flowers of The Groom in May seemed to be swaying.

As if he would soon wither.

The longing is this long

I dont deserve to live

I suddenly open the window

Only traces remain on the road

The song played out over the restless monotony without taking a chance to breathe. The note rose up steeply, as if it was about to jump.

Then, it dropped.

Still, Ill wait

In line with the low note, the accompaniment exploded.

!!

Amid the rushing sound of Korean traditional music instruments, The Groom in May bowed his head, burying the flowers in the stand microphone.

My heart is all rotten

Until your bony heart melts

buried under the ground

Until all the memories fade

Ill still wait

The melancholy melody began with a very low tone and rose frantically.

In the repeated lyrics, the countless metaphors all ended with one word.

Waiting.

The screen didnt even show the audiences reaction. Only the Groom in May was illuminated on the red-colored stage.

There seemed to be an invisible gaze from the veil and beyond the bouquet.

Even beyond the screen, they could feel the desperate feeling as if being overwhelmed.

And at least, it arrived.

A high-pitched voice that sounded like a cry raised the final chorus lyrics.

On the day you finally came

Until the day of your beauty

The last note followed as if he didnt breathe.

Chasing after it, the gloomy accompaniment ran frantically Then, it stopped.

Waiting

A faint sound of sogeum finished the song.

In the place where fear and madness left, a painful and sad aftertaste remained.

With the bouquet on the standing microphone, the frozen Groom in May didnt move.

And the moment the accompaniment was completely cut off.

He disappeared from the stage as if blown away.

[Oooooh!]

[Wow!]

Only then did the audience seats were filled with applause and admiration.

The camera that caught the unusual appearance of the judges and the audience covering their mouths finally appeared.

[The overwhelmed audience]

[They cant take their hands off their mouths]

And the siblings who were frozen in front of the TV also came to their senses.

Its really crazy.

Im getting goosebumps.

Its Moondaes win.

Youre crossing the line again.

The stage of The Groom in May, who seemed to have passed away while waiting for a bride who didnt return, left a tremendous impression.

Because he dragged out a stage that could be seen as excessive, with a terrifyingly perfect song.

Ill definitely watch the show next week, too.

Convinced of the victory of Groom in May, the high school student made a decision in his heart.

He had to watch.

He even thought about buying and listening to his album once his identity was revealed.

Looking at each stage, hes definitely a band vocalist. I think hewrites minor songs.

So when the Groom in May revealed his identity shortly after, he was completely frozen in shock.

[Groom in May, the identity of the person who created this hologram character Revealed now!]

Just before announcing the winners, the identities of the cast members were revealed in advance to make up the picture of them waiting for the announcement with their holograms on stage.

The hologram of Groom in May, whose motion link was released, stood calmly on the stage. He looked somewhat quiet for someone who had sung such a miserable song just now.

He could hear the MCs loud voice.

[Come on in!]

At that moment, the bottom of the stage opened and the person began to appear.

And people started making strange exclamations.

!?

Because what came up was the Groom in May.

What?

The actual Groom in May, who had come up all the way, tilted the bouquet.

It looked just like the hologram, so he got goosebumps.

Gasp.

Until now, animals and food had been playfully reproduced using doll clothes, but it had never looked so similar like this.

Because he made a character out of things that were usually not used!

What is this bastard doing?

Among the buzzing audience and the judges, only the MC shouted cheerfully.

[This person is!]

The newly came-up Groom in May ripped off the bouquet from his head with his right hand.

!

A thick mesh mask covered with flowers flowed down to his neck, revealing a sweaty face and hair.

[The popular idol, Testars Park Moondae!]

[!!!!]

The screaming audience and the judges who deliberately pretended to be more surprised were captured and replayed continuously on the screen.

And the high school student was stunned, too.

Hey, hey.

Tuk-tuk, the college student tapped her brother with her foot.

Give me 100,000 won.

By the way, a similar situation was happening on the Internet in real-time.
