If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love - Chapter 165



165 -16 – Kahi Yu Ga-Eul END

Episode 165

It’s recording day,

Autumn stood on the stage of a famous square that was large enough to even have a small stage and was crowded with people.

And I, who would normally just be watching from behind, joined me on stage with my hands on the keyboard.

In this round, only small groups of sessions were allowed, so it didn’t matter that I came on stage like this, but the question in my head was, ‘Is it okay?’

To be honest, it was a stage with a completely different meaning from the previous busking from an amateur perspective.

What is expected here, and by countless people watching the recording, is a flawless professional performance.

In the meantime, I had been practicing since busking without any compensation, but I was not confident that I would meet those expectations.

Ga Eul seemed to be aware of my burden, but he spoke leisurely while looking at the many people gathered in the square.

“There are so many audiences.”

I reacted to Ga Eul’s words, feeling a little less tense at those relaxed words.

“It reminds me of the old days. “Did you and I perform on the streets like this back then?”

“Is it so. “It’s only been a little over a year, but it feels very nostalgic.”

“Well, things have changed a lot since then. The number of audiences changed, and the size of the stage also changed. “The position has also changed.”

Ga Eul, who had been looking at the audience in front of the stage at my words, turned her head and looked at me and said.

“Actually nothing has changed.”

Huh?

“But compared to last time, there will be tens of thousands of times more people watching. Wouldn’t it be different?”

“No. Same. Like this stage and the last stage, in the end, the important thing is just me and team leader Seon.”

Autumn said that in front of thousands of spectators who had gathered to look at us.

“Haha, thank you for your words, but as a professional, shouldn’t I say that the audience is the most important thing?”

“You said you wanted to enjoy the stage, right? So I’m going to be honest.”

A deep smile appeared on the side of her face as she touched the pick while holding her guitar.

“I enjoy it the most when I stand on stage with Taeyang oppa.”

***

There was tension in the air among the Two Bear employees gathered in the media room.

“Lena Shin’s Love judgment result is an all-time high of 95%! It is an overwhelming percentage that even our Music Road production staff said would never be released.”

Lena Shin, the opponent who started the stage first in front of Ga Eul, received an overwhelming decision that no one expected.

“95%… , It’s like a foul.”

“Actually, it was a performance that deserved a decent score. “It is indeed teacher Lena Shin.”

Cheon A-ram, who was listening to the conversation between Lee Hye-rin and Song Yo-han, asked with a frown.

“What was the judgment percentage that Gaeul received last time?”

“It was 87%. “Boss.”

“That was the evaluation that came from Gaeul, who seemed to be in top form with the strong selection of ‘Albatross.’”

“… “Yes.”

Cheon Aram sighed and said.

“This won’t be easy.”

“But it’ll be okay.”

Summer spoke in the gathered gaze.

“Team leader Seon and Gaeul are both geniuses.”

***

Maybe I had a premonition that a day like this would come again someday.

There is no other explanation as to why she didn’t stop working on the piano even when Revolutionary Girl’s work was the busiest, to the extent that all she had to do was take a 3-hour nap.

Even when James Oh said that there was no need for a producer to take on the role of session manager, and even when Cheon Jong-hoon said that playing the piano was helpful in understanding music, but the time I was investing was too much, I did not stop hitting the keys.

Even I couldn’t give a proper answer, so I just smiled awkwardly at those words and insisted on playing the piano, but now I think I can give that answer.

I didn’t want to be ashamed.

This is the thought that came to mind from the very beginning when I realized her talent.

I don’t want to be embarrassed to stand next to a genius named Yoo Ga-eul.

The reason why I played the piano next to her was purely spontaneous. Since there are rewards, I thought it would be okay if I used them appropriately, and I thought it wouldn’t be that awkward since I’ve done it in previous episodes.

The first line that Yu Ga-eul opened her mouth was enough to shatter that light heart.

〈 I sang on an autumn night when all the leaves had fallen. 〉

Yes, like now.

〈I wanted to sing. Even though I couldn’t sing.〉

〈I wanted to raise my voice. Even though no one is listening.〉

The guitar I’m holding, and the piano I’m holding my hand on.

Now that even those two small instruments have remained silent, she has filled the world with only her own voice.

〈Because I liked it, because I loved it, because it was fun.〉

I was captured by those deep emotions that day.

To the point where I forgot my duty and got sucked in as a spectator.

But I won’t do that now that I have another chance.

〈But the voice became dull and disappeared into the autumn sky.〉

〈Without any meaning, without even leaving anything behind.〉

Slowly and carefully pianissimo.

Adding impurities in the name of me to the pure and noble vocals of autumn.

As if waiting for the dance of the keyboard, Ga Eul also begins to pluck the strings of the guitar.

〈The song that crumbled and remained like a yoke has become a burden.〉

〈Wounds and burdens that cannot be given up or loved.〉

A soft bass sound. Autumn’s voice rings softly as if confessing.

The audience becomes one with the filled space of sound as if they were immersed in a swamp.

〈There was someone who told me at that time. Even if it is heavy, cumbersome, and messy.〉

〈Nevertheless, I was in love〉

And cheerfully as if riding up, intensely as if speeding up, mezzo forte.

The song and my fingers on the keyboard begin to accelerate.

〈 I cried, I cried again. I sang. And I ended up laughing.〉

‘Memories of the Sea and Fallen Leaves’, which aggressively uses the techniques of two piano solo guitar riffs as if competing, is a difficult song that I would not have been able to complete if I had not received compensation at the time.

However, the song I composed this time called ‘the duty of singing’ boasts a more difficult level than ‘Memories of the Sea and Fallen Leaves’, if only as a highlight.

When I remember that I had to hit this myself, it was a choice that was not only reckless but arrogant.

Jong-Hoon Cheon and James Oh also said that the difficulty level of this part should be relaxed until the end.

However, I insisted on this difficulty level.

I thought the song I should make was one that brought out everything, rather than singing it as if Autumn was just relaxing.

〈 I want to get wet in this sweetness with you, with you and no one else. 〉

Fingers dance.

The notes that are densely packed in my mind come down like rain and take my breath away.

Reason speaks. ‘Give up. This is not an area you can overlook.’

As if I was walking along a cliff on a tightrope, I had a strong feeling that the moment there was a slight twist, everything would fall apart.

Still…

Still, you have to do it.

No, I will.

I woke up early in the morning, held my breath, shortened my sleep time, and refined myself again and again because it was all for this moment.

I will not be satisfied with her lack of shame.

I will go beyond that and become a person worthy of a singer called Yoo Ga-eul.

That’s why I’m standing here.

And after 20 seconds, which seems like an eternity, the province also comes to an end.

There were no mistakes.

After completing its role perfectly, let go of the piano and start the chorus while holding the microphone.

Before I knew it, Gaeul had turned around and was looking at me.

I also looked at her

〈I will put a smile on your face.〉

〈I will make that moment happier.〉

Like the day we first saw each other and smiled.

From noble mtl dot come

Like a flower in full bloom.

〈Because that is the duty of singing.〉

***

After completing her own stage more successfully than ever, the face of legendary R&B singer Lena Shin, who was looking at her young protégé’s stage with interest, confident of her victory, suddenly hardened.

She said as if she were lamenting, wiping down the skin that had climbed up her forearm.

“… “Where did such a monster come from?”

While the camera is filming Lena Shin’s appearance her her, the MC, who has finished judging the audience, loudly shouts out her result.

“Yoo Ga-eul’s Love decision is an unbelievable number! It’s 97%!”

[Management Evaluation-In an environment where no one protects her, she had to learn how to protect herself and her family before she even became an adult, and she became accustomed to giving up. Choosing to shoulder the weight of responsibility over the flowering of her own talents is one of those abandonments. Her thinking did not change even after she went through many ups and downs and chose to become an idol. Rather than enjoying singing, she treated it as a job and a tool to shoulder other responsibilities. However, it is believed that it was the successful management of her users that allowed her to freely express her own emotions in her songs. Just because the potential is S does not mean that everyone will develop the talent S. There are many cases where even the brilliant talent fades after being bumped, bent, and broken. But she will soon reach the summit named S. And then her people will call her by the name of her diva.]

[As a reward for successful management, a ‘non-slip reinforced hammer’ is provided.]
