Chapter 189

The drums played a strong beat with the high hat from the get-go .

Its our song!

Although it was slightly different, the familiar melody made the members of Eddios cheer up .

This was Eddioss t.i.tle song Ready, rearranged into a rock version .

Me, me .

Han JooYeon pointed at herself telling them that she would do the opening and everyone else nodded .

Poor Seo HanYu couldnt even approach the mic since she was the youngest .

While the distorted guitar and the strong ba.s.s. .h.i.t their chests, Han JooYeon softly shouted .

A certain someone wants to be consoled even more

After that Christie picked up the mic next while Kim JiMin and the others also started singing joyfully .

The other members of Eddios did some light dancing, while the other vocalists tried to imitate them .

This is nice .

KangYoon adjusted the mixer and looked at the singers with a satisfied expression .

At that moment, Lee HyunJi poked at KangYoon .

Can you get me a line as well?

What? Which one?

When KangYoon asked, Lee HyunJi pointed at the empty synthesizer .

That one .

Hahaha . Its good to hang around with the kids like this . Okay, then .

When KangYoon gave permission, Lee HyunJI headed to the synthesizer .

As the sheet music stand and the scores were already there, he just needed to set the sound .

Lee HyunJi set the synthesizer at a medium volume and started playing it . At the same time, KangYoons hand movements quickened as well .

The light became a little dimmer .

KangYoon quickly adjusted the volume and the equalizer for the synthesizer . The synthesizer was affecting the overall sound due to the loud volume .

Not long later, the light became brighter than before .

The synthesizer was now synergizing well with the rest of the sounds .

Wow .

Kim JinDae, who was playing basic beats, widened his eyes after seeing Lee HyunJi . He did not know that he would get to jam with the director of the company . It was like his bias was destroyed .

However, that only lasted a moment .

The ample music tied the people into one .

On a worn out day, I embrace you and

As the song reached its peak, the bra.s.s died down and the electric guitar did a magnificent solo phrase .

Ooh!

Jung ChanGyu showed off a right-hand tapping technique which made the members of Eddios and Kim JiMin cheer out loud .

Theyre going quite far even though this is just the beginning .

As KangYoon emphasized flow usually, this kind of a fancy start seemed like going too aboveboard .

Nah, were supposed to be jamming so who cares .

It was one of his work habits . They were just playing around right now .

They were having a good time so there was no reason to point that out .

After Jung ChanGyus right-hand tapping technique died down, the drums and the ba.s.s guitar decorated the end of the first song .

Like that, the first jam ended .

Oooh Eddios!

Ailees excited last words made everyone else laugh .

As the first song was strong, both the singers and the instrument players heaved deep breaths .

Oh?

Kim JiMin reacted to the familiar melody first .

This was her debut song Speak Happy Day that she played with a guitar .

This feels rather new hearing it being played by a piano .

The melody was calm and relaxing .

Lee HyunAh closed her eyes and focused on the piano melody .

Unni, lets do it together .

Me?

Hearing Kim JiMins words, Lee HyunAh cheerfully nodded .

The members of Eddios urged the two to sing as well .

My heart is still shy I want to hide it yet

Lee HyunAh sang first and signaled the start of the new song .

To match Lee HyunJis relaxing piano melody, Lee HyunAh sang with a husky-ish voice as well .

Happy Day we

Kim JiMins style of singing was completely different from Lee HyunAhs .

KangYoon was surprised to see the white light coming from two entirely different styles of singing .

Its the same song, but it feels like its entirely different . Both JiMin and HyunAh have powerful voices, but the nuance from their voices is different . HyunAh is a little rougher while JiMin is soft . Its definitely different .

But their voices were still completely complimentary .

Dreaming of our future Happy Day

In the chorus, the other instruments added other effects and the members of Eddios began singing as well . Many fancy effects were added and the song became ample .

In front of KangYoons eyes, more than ten musical notes were being combined into one .

Also

Silver?

When Eddioss chorus was added, something s.h.i.+nier started showing itself in the middle of the white light .

That foreign substance became larger especially when Ailees voice was added .

Should I boost her a little more?

KangYoon raised the volume of the mic that Ailee was holding . He also adjusted the equalizer .

When he did, the foreign substance within the white light gradually took over the white light .

However, there was a problem . Christies notes slightly decreased the effects of the foreign substance .

Shes strained her voice too much .

Christie An had a pretty voice . However, she lacked power . From how she was covering one of her ears, it seemed that she wasnt able to listen to her own voice and was shouting because of that .

KangYoon raised Christies voice on the monitoring speakers and decreased her voice on the overall speakers .

The chorus was what was lacking in JiMins song?

KangYoon came to a realization after seeing this coincidence .

Speak Happy Day was the song that ended just before it turned completely silver . He found a clue to that song right here .

As the song continued, the piano turned into a string . Along with that, the drums, the ba.s.s guitar, and the electric guitar softened down as well .

They were nearing the end of the song .

We are full of excitement are we already in love

Aaah

In the end, the white light turned completely silver and shone beautifully . At the same time, it made KangYoons heart refreshed .

Sir, did something good happen?

After finis.h.i.+ng singing, Kim JiMin asked KangYoon with curiosity and KangYoon shrugged as he replied .

Something good did happen .

Ill tell you later . Rather than that

KangYoon stretched his arms before standing next to Kim JiMin . He then picked up the acoustic guitar placed next to her .

President?

When Jung MinAh asked in curiosity, KangYoon smiled as he spoke .

Everyones playing around, so I cant be the one left out . Lets do it together .

Hahaha!

Everyone laughed and the atmosphere brightened even further .

Im so envious . I, too

Meanwhile, In MoonHee, who watched as all of this happened looked at the singers in envy .

***

Phew, thats fortunate .

JooAh was visiting the headquarters of MG Entertainment, and she was drinking coffee at director Lee HanSeos office .

What is?

I heard youre staying here for the time being . Fortunately, I have some room to breathe .

Director Lee HanSeo chuckled after seeing that JooAh was honest about her opinions .

This cheerful lady was the same whether in the past or now .

However

Just what is happening with the company?

As time pa.s.sed, this company was straying further and further .

They ended up contracting a construction company and started saving up .

There was a lot of debt as well . Signs of ruin could be seen everywhere .

How about some tea with

I like coffee better .

JooAhs love for coffee hadnt changed .

Director Lee HanSeo coughed before speaking again .

Your schedule has increased recently, hasnt it?

Yeah . The rest period has gotten shorter as well Well, Ill only get busier now that they started digging .

Pfft, digging, you say .

When director Lee HanSeo chuckled, JooAh replied .

Im right, arent I? Just why are they constructing a new building at this time? Can our budget even hold out when were building a fancy office building? Ah, I dont even want to think about it . I should just work .

Maybe thats for the better .

Director Lee HanSeo also sighed at this frustrating state that the company was in .

If push comes to the shove and our financial state becomes bad to the point of having to sell company stocks no way .

As stupid as they were, they wouldnt be that stupid .

Lets stop talking about this . Oh, I met JinSeo last time

JooAh switched topics saying that she had a headache and the two continued their conversation .

***

You will come to me again -

Kim JaeHoons voice and Seo HanYus voice created a harmony while many other instruments decorated their voices .

The good memories the beautiful moments

Seo HanYus voice shook as she was deeply emotional .

In front of her, Jung MinAh was performing some modern dance, something she had been learning recently .

When the song faded out, everyone started cheering .

Wow! This is awesome!

Wiping the sweat on her forehead, Jung MinAh smiled . It was very good to dance like that with everyone together .

Joy was flowing in everyones eyes as they all received the effects of the jam

Todays mood is awesome .

I wish it can be like this every day .

Everyone agreed to Kim JinDae and Jung ChanGyus words .

Just as everyone was wondering what they should do next, KangYoon approached In MoonHee who was absent-mindedly sitting .

MoonHee .

. .

In MoonHee

Yes!?

In MoonHee, who was watching the singers jamming with envious eyes all this time, abruptly stood up after hearing KangYoon call out to her .

Why are you so surprised?

Uhm thats

Come here .

Eh? Me?

When In MoonHee hesitated despite KangYoons call, Kim JaeHoon added as well .

You should come over .

Oh, but I

Unni, come over here .

When even Kim JiMin urged her, In MoonHee walked forward .

When Kim JaeHoon gave In MoonHee the mic, KangYoon spoke .

How about a trot as our last song?

Why dont we go with Journey?

In MoonHee nodded at Kim JaeHoons proposal .

The song t.i.tled Journey was a trot song that was popular amongst all ages .

The reactions of Eddios were split though .

Is that unni good?

I dont know

Han JooYeon and Christie An were rather conservative while Jung MinAh and Seo HanYu were different .

Unni, go for it!

Break a leg!

In MoonHee picked up the mic while receiving mixed gazes from her younger seniors .

KangYoon spoke .

Lets go with the C key .

Okay .

Lee HyunJi was the most joyful at KangYoons words .

As she was playing the keyboard, the C key was the easiest to play .

Soon, the song began with the drums .

Along with some sax sounds from the synthesizer, the ba.s.s amply supported the music while In MoonHee sang .

The journey with my beloved

Oooh! In MoonHee! In MoonHee!

Jung MinAh and Seo HanYu started cheering for their junior .

In MoonHee blushed and added more power into her voice .

As long as Im with my beloved today is the

Ooh!!

Kim JaeHoon and Kim JiMin also chimed in with the cheering .

The practice room soon practically became a cabaret .

Sheesh, MoonHee is really

KangYoon had a surprised expression while playing the acoustic guitar .

In MoonHees voice seemed to have a charm of its own . KangYoon felt that he was subconsciously putting more power into his hands .

Han JooYeon and Christie An, who were wary at first, had both joined the chorus now, while Seo HanYu and Jung MinAh were enjoying the mood with dancing .

s...o...b..e-nim . Worlds mood is awesome .

Yeah, did you feel that too?

The people that were holding the cameras had a hard time trying not to move their shoulders along with the music .

***

After In MoonHees song was over, all the songs they had scheduled for the day were finished .

Well done everyone .

KangYoon spoke but everyone seemed disappointed .

Sympathizing with them, Lee HyunJi spoke .

President . Were done recording, so why dont we just play around?

Play around?

Everyone turned around to Lee HyunJi .

Well it cant be helped if were busy, but since weve set everything up, I feel like this is a little too short .

Hm

KangYoon turned to look around at the others as well . Everyones expression was flushed .

More, more!

KangYoon naturally knew their desire after reading their expressions .

In the end, he shrugged his shoulders and spoke .

Then shall we stay here for a bit longer?

Ooooh!

When KangYoon picked up the acoustic guitar again, everyone started cheering .

Like that, World Entertainments jamming session continued for a long time .

***

A few videos were uploaded to Eddioss fan page on FinesTok .

It was a video t.i.tled This is how we play around .

Whats this?

Han SungJin, a long-time fan of Eddios, clicked the video that had no views yet .

But then

What in the world!

What did he come across?

It was a video about many singers, including Eddios, playing around in a s.p.a.ce that looked like a practice room .

Jung MinAh danced, while the other members of World Entertainment played instruments and sang along with the song .

But

This is playing around? Not a concert?

They said they were playing around, but the video was a slap to the face of many live concerts .

Han SungJin was deeply immersed in the video and spent 3 whole hours watching it over and over .

Aaah, my G.o.ddesses . You never disappoint me at all!

Leaving an article about it on the Eddios fan cafe, he kept exclaiming out loud .
