Chapter 191

h.e.l.lo, everyone? Im Lee HyunAh from the cla.s.s of 06 of the composition department .

Lee HyunAhs crisp voice rang out through the hall and the cheers died down in an instant .

The fact that she was standing on stage for something other than singing pressured her a lot .

The students were all filled with expectation while the professors and the chancellor had the Lets see what you have to say att.i.tude .

Fuu .

Lee HyunAh sighed briefly to shake off her nervousness and grabbed onto the mic .

First up, thank you for inviting me to such an honorable place when there are many other seniors in the industry that are better than me . I may be lacking somewhat, but I hope Ill be able to spend a good time with you today .

Ooooh!

The audience replied with applause filled with an expectation of her formal greeting .

KangYoon made a satisfied smile after seeing that Lee HyunAh was no longer nervous anymore .

Sheesh, theres nothing for me to worry about even though she dragged me all the way here .

KangYoon chuckled .

It was funny when he thought about it . Lee HyunAh wasnt someone who would get stage fright anymore after all the stage experience she has .

Although he was asked to come, he felt like a fool for tagging along all the way here .

Lee HyunAh started talking about how she had become a singer amidst the attention of many people .

Actually, I never thought that I would become a singer . And that doesnt mean that I was pa.s.sionate about composing either . If I had to choose something I liked, then it would be singing, I guess . I didnt want it as a job but as a hobby . Its funny that I think like this even though Ive enrolled in college, right? Anyway, Ive enrolled in the department of composition and ended up joining a small club called Recovery . Right now should be about the 5th gen . Does anyone here belong to Recovery?

5 people, a mix of men and women, raised their hands from one corner .

Seeing her juniors, Lee HyunAh smiled .

Oooh, its nice to see some of my direct juniors . Should this sister treat you guys to something good after this?

Hahahaha .

Lee HyunAhs light joke made the mood lighter .

Sheesh, shes completely made to be on stage .

KangYoon put his hands on his chin while chuckling .

Lee HyunAh calmly continued to talk .

She talked about how she met KangYoon, the president of her current company, at the band Recovery; and how she went to the College Pop Festival and got 3rd place . She also talked about how that became a trigger for her to create her own band and that she started activities after that .

The students clapped when she talked about how the band was finally formed after some hards.h.i.+ps . They knew how hard it was to form a team .

Thank you .

When Lee HyunAh bowed, people cheered even louder .

The talk continued .

She talked about how she met KangYoon during her activities as an indie band and how she joined World Entertainment . She also provoked the interests of the audience by talking about some of the episodes that took place until now .

All of the audience clapped when she talked about how she went to KangYoon, asking him to accept the entire band .

Lee HyunAh made an awkward smile and spoke .

Actually, I was a lucky case . Other than me, there were many people who left their teams to join entertainment companies . Its a tragedy . I cant say where, but there was a place that offered me to join them before I went to World . Thankfully, I was able to avoid the tragedy thanks to the president .

Lee HyunAh calmly continued .

Actually, it would be a lie to say that I didnt want to join a company by myself . However, that worry didnt last long . My current company allows me to play the music I want to my hearts content . My juniors, World is awesome . Come to World .

Hahahaha .

The students all burst out laughing hearing her promotion .

That girl

*Giggle* .

KangYoon abruptly stood up due to her actions while Professor Choi ChanYang grabbed his arm with a smile . The chancellor also laughed .

Lee HyunAhs story alternated between heavy stories and jokes and neared its end .

After we released the OST alb.u.m, we finally entered the major band industry . Thanks to that OST, were being called to many places in the country and not just our regular stages . The current Lee HyunAh is living such a life . Phew, I guess thats all from me . Thank you, everyone .

Waaaa!

The students all applauded .

Soon, it became QnA time .

The host thanked Lee HyunAh and started accepting questions from the students .

The first question from a girl seated at the very front .

h.e.l.lo? My name is Lee JiSol and Im in my first year in applied music . You told us that you went major from being indie, right?

Yes . thats right .

Then what kind of preparations did you do before you went major?

The first question was a hard one .

This applied to many students who decided on singing as their career .

Lee HyunAh thought about it for a moment before replying .

What kind of preparations, huh? I dont think we did anything special to prepare for our major debut . Its just that

Just that?

We kept playing music without rest . I think thats the most important part .

She pulled out the mic from the stand and walked forward .

I always stuck to the most basic things . No, its not just me, but all the members of the band . We practice every day and perform on stage once a week . We also talked about the songs with the president once in a while . We tried to think up of new things and we stuck to the basic rules in order to sing . I guess thats my secret .

Then, the male student seated next to the girl who questioned just now raised his hand .

s...o...b..e-nim, from what I know, its not easy performing once every week, so what did you do when you had no choice but to not do one?

We never skipped out on performing .

When Lee HyunAh spoke, some of the students looked shocked .

We had a venue that belonged to the company . Strictly speaking, we were given a better environment than most other bands . This also led us to not being able to use some of the other places at first but we never skipped out on performance . Actually, this is mostly thanks to the president . He invested a lot of money to build us our own exclusive venue .

Wow!

The students exclaimed when they heard that .

What company would go as far as to make an exclusive venue for a band?

The students looked at Lee HyunAh enviously .

I met a wonderful person . Im still thankful for it to this day .

Lee HyunAh glanced at KangYoon and gave him a wink .

When KangYoon was at a loss on what to do, professor Choi ChanYang grabbed KangYoons arm and spoke .

Hahaha, HyunAh usually dont go to that extent . Looks like youve gained her respect .

It embarra.s.ses me .

KangYoon felt awkward due to all the flattery .

***

Kim JiMin headed to the company after changing her clothes from her school uniform .

Its somewhat not nice to practice at home

Since her grandma was resting here, it would be discourteous of her to practice her singing at home .

When she opened the studio and entered, she found that the lights were on . .

MoonHee-unni?

Oh? JiMin-s...o...b..e? h.e.l.lo .

There was someone there at the studio . It was In MoonHee, who was adjusting the mixer .

Unni, its really fine if you drop the formalities .

Although she was a lot older than Kim JiMin, In MoonHee still called her s...o...b..e .

Kim JiMin felt awkward with someone older than her calling her that .

No, I should maintain order .

I find it uncomfortable .

The two talked about that topic for a long time .

In the end, Kim JiMin won the argument .

It wasnt a 2-3 year difference, but over a decade, so In MoonHee had nothing to say when Kim JiMin said that she found it uncomfortable .

However, Kim JiMin also couldnt stop her from calling her s...o...b..e .

After a squabble, the younger senior and the older junior started to become closer .

What are you practicing, unni?

When Kim JiMin asked that while putting the guitar on the stand, In MoonHee tidied up the score and replied .

Sir Namhoon gave me an a.s.signment . So Im practicing that .

Oh really? I was planning to play with you if you had some time would that be too difficult?

Kim JiMin pouted in pity while playing her guitar .

Should I play around a little?

Yes, unni . Your trot was amazing I want to listen to it again .

Trot was a rare genre these days, and it was even harder to find a singer for the genre .

Kim JiMin had fallen in love with In MoonHees voice that she heard during the jam a few days ago .

What should we do then?

Just as Kim JiMin was looking through the scores in joy, another guest arrived at the studio .

Ahju~ssi~~~ .

A lady came in looking for someone .

It was Jung MinAh, wearing tightly fitting clothes .

Kim JiMin, who was just about to play, took her hands off the guitar .

MinAh-unni?

Hi there, JiMin Is ahjussi here?

The president?

Kim JiMin shook her head .

Thinking back, she hadnt seen him today at all .

Ah, sheesh . His phone is off as well . Tch, I was looking forward to today

He wasnt at the studio nor at his office .

Jung MinAh frowned .

It was unknown how long her rest period would last . She didnt want to waste this time, so she was uneasy .

Just where was this man gone?

At that moment, In MoonHee spoke .

I heard that the president was going to university today .

U, university?

Jung MinAh blinked several times in surprise .

In MoonHee added seeing that she was confused .

I heard yesterday that he would be accompanying HyunAh-s...o...b..e to her university . I heard he would go straight home from there

W, wait a minute . You mean miss HyunAh?

Jung MinAhs eyes sparked .

It was Lee HyunAh of all people? Just why!

Feeling a menacing aura from Jung MinAh, In MoonHee took steps back in fear .

What? Wh why are you like that?

Ugh .

Without even realizing that In MoonHee was trembling, Jung MinAh trembled for a moment before leaving the studio .

S, s...o...b..e . Why is MinAh-s...o...b..e like that?

Youll find out in a few days .

Kim JiMin shook his head .

In MoonHee blinked several times as she did not understand her words .

***

Thank you for your work .

All the events related to Talk to your senior were finished after a photoshoot with the juniors .

In front of the hall .

KangYoon greeted the professors of the university as well as the Chancellor .

Heres my business card .

The chancellor gave KangYoon his business card and KangYoon gave him one as well .

Thank you for today . I would love to treat you to a meal, but theres an important meeting taking place

Not at all . Thank you for calling us all the way here .

The Chancellor got in a car as soon as he finished talking with KangYoon . He left after saying that he would definitely treat KangYoon to a meal next time .

After all the events were over, KangYoon started walking through the campus along with Lee HyunAh and Professor Choi ChanYang .

The sunset is beautiful .

Professor Choi ChanYang smiled softly while looking at the sky .

The hill looks nice .

Soon, the skies started turning dark .

KangYoon nodded while pointing at the hill where the sun was setting .

Lee HyunAh added .

Our uni looks the best during sunset .

How about sunrise?

Ive never been here for that so I dont know .

KangYoons question made Lee HyunAh stick out her tongue .

The three of them headed to Professor Choi ChanYangs office on the hill .

In front of the building, Professor Choi ChanYang spoke .

Then Ill be right back .

When Professor Choi ChanYang went up to get his stuff, the two of them were left alone on the hill .

KangYoon and Lee HyunAh sat down on a bench .

Youve done well today . You looked like a proper s...o...b..e today .

Of course . Im a graduate now .

Lee HyunAh boasted in reply to KangYoons joke, and the two giggled .

After that, Lee HyunAh spoke calmly .

Oppa, thank you .

Huh? For what .

You know for everything .

She had received an uncountable number of things from him .

Would she still be singing today if KangYoon wasnt here? A singer? Not to mention that she would have never gotten the courage to go to the College Pop Festival, or show everyone her compositions in the first place .

KangYoon had led her by her side at all the important turns in her life .

Sheesh . Its natural for the president to take care of his singers .

KangYoon smiled awkwardly and tapped on Lee HyunAhs shoulders .

At that moment, she suddenly grabbed KangYoons hand!

HyunAh .

Its warm .

Just as KangYoon was at a loss on what to do, Lee HyunAh turned around to look at KangYoon in the eyes .

I like you, oppa .

The soft winds shook KangYoon violently .
