Chapter 190

Lee s.h.i.+nHye, a singer-wannabe was heading home late after her lesson at the applied music academy .

However, one of the t.i.tles in the music category garnered her attention .

Whats this? This is how we play around?

The views were strangely high as well .

Out of curiosity, she clicked on the video without thinking much about it .

The video began with the drummer hitting the high hat . Soon, many people appeared in the video .

Eh!?

But somehow, the people in the video were people she knew .

Eddios, Eunha, Kim JaeHoon, and even White Moonlight . They were rather famous singers .

Their practice video enraptured her ears immediately .

A certain someone wants to be consoled even more

Christie An sang the main part while Kim JiMin and Lee HyunAh put harmony in . Moreover, the electric guitar added to the crispness of the music, creating a pleasing sound, and the people that werent holding mics were dancing

A man and a woman, who looked like they were more business-related than music also entered her eyes . They seemed to be enjoying the music .

Wow

Lee s.h.i.+nHye exclaimed .

The video was quite long, but not once was she bored .

The song changed, and the woman being referred to as director moved to the synthesizer, while the president and composer, KangYoon, put on the guitar .

The singers jumped around with the mic in their hands while some danced and some jerked their bodies according to the rhythm .

On the last song, a trot song, a trainee even came out and joined in .

All the people within the practice room were being unified in the name of music .

Isnt this all acting?

Hey, I think its even more difficult to act like that . Were you duped all your life?

Kim JiMin and Kim JaeHoon are singing together while Jung MinAh is dancing, is that place a music safari?

This is nice to see . I hope to see more of this in the future .

The reactions in the comments were explosive as well .

Lee s.h.i.+nHye usually didnt comment on videos, but she added a comment today .

I want to go to World .

Kim JaeHoons song Boy, maintained first place for one week and continued to be high in the rankings in the following weeks as well .

This was much more meaningful since this all took place without him appearing even once on TV programs .

3rd in Heaven Charts, 5th in MD Music Charts, 4th in Nets dot com . Mr . JaeHoons alb.u.m is doing well considering that its been over two weeks since his alb.u.m came out . Hes practically the man of autumn .

Lee HyunJi reported KangYoon of the stats with a satisfied smile .

KangYoon also replied with a smile as well .

The man of autumn . A nice name . Its also a bit cheesy as well .

Hahaha, maybe?

KangYoon shrugged his shoulders jokingly and flipped over to the next page .

So its the concert now . Director, is the subcontract going well?

Lee HyunJi nodded his head .

Yes . Its all going well . After all, the item we have is good . This is Kim JaeHoons solo concert after many years so its no wonder that many people are wanting to join us . But, are you not planning to get any investment?

Since this is not a nation-wide tour, we will not need that much money . Lets keep it to ourselves this time, and expand the scale if the reactions are good . At that point in time, Im pretty sure people will flock to us for investments .

Lee HyunJi understood what KangYoon was saying and nodded her head .

I guess the results of this event will be important then . Okay . But wouldnt it be okay to go nationwide since its Mr . JaeHoon were talking about?

Kim JaeHoons skill, fandom, and audience-calling power .

In Lee HyunJis view, all of those three factors were enough for a country-wide concert tour .

However, KangYoon had a different idea in mind .

Wouldnt it look better if we hold the concert because the people want it and not us?

The people want it? Oh .

Lee HyunJi seemed to have seen through what KangYoon meant and exclaimed in a small voice .

What charm would we have left if we showed everything from the get-go? Well reveal those charm points one by one and incite interest . People will want to see JaeHoons live stage, Im sure of that . Were not showing any video footage of Boy this time, either, arent we? Those things combined will all have an effect during the concert .

Aah, I understand now .

The two people continued to talk about Kim JaeHoons concert .

They had a lot of things to talk about such as the subcontractors, the location, etc .

Right now, it was October .

They had a lot of things to do in a short period of time, so they needed to get things done quickly .

The two talked for a long time before standing up .

Mr . JungMin, is there a vacant vehicle today?

KangYoons gaze headed towards Yoo JungMin, the new employee .

When he did, the guy abruptly stood up and replied nervously .

Y, yes! Th, theres one!

Hearing the new employee reply nervously, Jung HyeJin, and Lee HyunJi giggled . Yoo JungMin then reddened in embarra.s.sment .

KangYoon shrugged his shoulders and got the keys from him .

Thanks for your work . And also, you dont need to be so nervous .

N, not at all, sir! Youre still the president

Hahaha, then see you later, Mr . JungMin .

KangYoon patted Yoo JungMins shoulders before leaving . He wanted the new recruit to get used to the companys atmosphere as much as possible .

He headed towards the practice room .

HyunAh .

President .

When KangYoon entered, Lee HyunAh greeted him .

When he asked where the other members were, she replied that they had private lessons to teach and other events to attend .

KangYoon exclaimed after seeing Lee HyunAhs outfit .

Wow, a suit?

Lee HyunAh usually wore more casual and contemporary clothes, but today she was wearing a semi-formal suit . KangYoons words seemed to have made her embarra.s.sed as she looked away .

Uhm, does it not suit me?

Not at all . Its fine . I always thought that you liked to wear short and strange clothes .

S, strange clothes!?

Lee HyunAhs eyes widened .

She was called the Hongdae Fas.h.i.+onista, but that got the strange clothes treatment from KangYoon . She trembled .

Regardless, KangYoon grinned .

Its nice . You look more like a s...o...b..e now .

It feels rather strange .

Lee HyunAh felt rather peculiar since KangYoons words made her feel like she was rather old .

Today was the day Lee HyunAh would hold a talk at Hallyeo Arts Universitys Talk with your seniors event .

Usually, a manager would accompany her

I get to attend a university event thanks to you, huh .

Heheh, Im sorry . Actually, I was a little nervous

Lee HyunAh felt apologetic as she said those words .

Actually, I think you came to me whenever you felt nervous .

Yes, youre right . You noticed?

At least try to deny it .

KangYoon grumbled as he undid the handbrakes when the lights turned green .

It didnt take that long to reach Hallyeo Arts University .

After parking, KangYoon and Lee HyunAh headed towards Professor Choi ChanYangs office .

Mr . KangYoon, HyunAh . Welcome I was waiting for the two of you .

Professor Choi ChanYang had his unique soft smile on as he greeted the two .

This Talk with your seniors event meant a lot for him since it was one of his former students doing the talk .

You have to visit the Chancellor later, right?

Yes . The time is a little awkward .

As KangYoon had arrived a little earlier than requested, Professor Choi ChanYang spoke with a smile .

Let me go with you after you rest a little . The Chancellor would love to see you .

Okay then .

The three enjoyed some snacks as they conversed .

***

After Park SoYoung and Kim JiMin returned to Korea, HeeYoon also returned to her usual lifestyle .

The reactions are quite good . Thats good .

HeeYoon sighed in relief after seeing Kim JaeHoons new alb.u.m Boy was ranked in 3rd in Heaven Charts, the biggest music chart .

She was worried about what to do if Kim JaeHoon rejected her song, but things had turned out well . She did not know that she would be able to collaborate with Park SoYoung and even Kim JiMin on the song though .

She found out later that her brother had a hard time during the rearrangement and that Kim JaeHoon also had a hard time singing it, so it was good to see that the results were good .

I guess it was worth my time .

Listening to Kim JaeHoons voice through her headset, HeeYoon, feeling satisfied, smiled .

HeeYoon logged out of the Heaven Charts and was about to close the browser . However, an article on the portal site Sace had grabbed her attention .

-World Family? What is the intention behind revealing a practice video?

Whats this?

Seeing the unfamiliar term World Family, HeeYoon clicked on the article .

The article had no real content . It basically said that there was a video on Tune where the members of World Entertainment all sang together and that it was gathering attention on social media .

The article just wrote that information with a provocative choice of words .

HeeYoon immediately went to Tune and found the video .

This is it .

When she clicked on it, the video started with a few beats from the high hat .

Oho .

The music from the video stimulated her curiosity .

Eh? This isnt practicing .

HeeYoon tilted her head .

This video just looked like playing around . Everyone freely sang, freely danced, and freely played instruments . She felt rather envious .

Freedom .

That word seemed to summarize the video .

Looks like shes the new trainee .

The new woman clearly seemed older than her .

She decorated the last stage with a savory trot song and the video finished with everyone fading out .

After the video finished, HeeYoon fell into contemplation .

Wouldnt it be good if everyone can sing together? Should I think about it?

The video seemed to have stimulated HeeYoon and new inspiration started popping into her head .

***

KangYoon and Lee HyunAh visited the Chancellor of Hallyeo Arts University along with Professor Choi ChanYang .

The Chancellor judged that KangYoon was a rising star in the entertainment industry and made an effort to become closer to him while KangYoon also replied with courtesy .

After their meeting came the main event, Talk with your senior .

KangYoon and Lee HyunAh were guided by the Chancellors secretary to a large hall where the students had gathered .

Many students were already seated .

O, oppa

Lee HyunAh, who sat down on her designated seat on the platform felt nervous while looking at the many people in the audience . She grabbed onto KangYoons arm in order to calm down .

KangYoon patted her back in an attempt to calm her down .

Soon, the formalities for the event was over and it came to Lee HyunAhs turn to talk .

The one Ill be introducing this time is someone who

The main host was already introducing how Lee HyunAh had become a singer .

Listening to her own introduction, Lee HyunAh tightly grabbed KangYoons hands .

Seeing that, Professor Choi ChanYang spoke .

Looks like HyunAh is very nervous .

I think so too . HyunAh, just think of it as going on stage to sing .

KangYoon told her again, but Lee HyunAh didnt calm down easily .

Sheesh, she was nervous on her first stage as well, so

She had flinched in the College Pop Festival as well and KangYoon had to wake her up .

KangYoon approached Lee HyunAhs ears .

HyunAh .

Eeeh!?

Lee HyunAh was startled by the breath on her ears and s.h.i.+vered . It was a prank in order to wake her up .

When she came to and shook her head several times, KangYoon spoke .

Get yourself together . Its your turn to go on stage now .

Ah, yes .

Just think of it as rapping on stage . Dont be too nervous .

Th, thats not up to me!

Even her hands were shaking due to nervousness .

KangYoon patted her on the back .

I know you can do it .

Whoaaa?

Then, KangYoon lightly pushed her forward . Then, Lee HyunAh was pushed onto the stage .

The main host had just finished introducing her as well .

OOOOOOH!

Lee HyunAh! Lee HyunAh!

While her juniors clapped for him, Lee HyunAh stood on the podium with an awkward smile .
