If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love - Chapter 179



179 – Is That Romance? It’s a Thriller

Episode 179

After understanding the situation through Seon Taeyang’s explanation, Oh Yuri realized.

She said that the group called Girl Revolution, which she thought was close to a time bomb, was actually exploding in real time.

‘The remaining contract period was 5 years and 5 months. … ‘I don’t think I can survive it?’

Yuri felt like she would accept that it would come, even if it meant that either Summer or Autumn’s scandal would break out tomorrow morning. Sun Taeyang’s judgment was true. This was right.

While she was racking her brain over a problem she had never imagined and contemplating her future direction, someone spoke to her.

“… Yuri, is it okay for a moment?”

Lately, it has been the middle of winter, with people avoiding the harsh sun.

“Winter sister? Do you have any concerns?”

Winter spoke hesitantly, showing off her timid personality.

“That…, That is. It’s my fault, I haven’t been able to communicate well with Teacher Taeyang lately. You must have been angry, but of course you must have been disappointed…”

However, the words that followed were spoken straight and without wavering.

“But I still want to go back to the relationship we had before. A relationship where I can laugh next to Teacher Taeyang.”

“…”

“But, I’m so stupid that I don’t know what to do with it…” ” .”

Winter bowed her head and said.

“Can you help me a little?”

Oh Yuri, who shuddered at the bloody feelings of love such as the threatening confession on the rooftop or the threatening confession on the plane, thought when she heard Winter’s timid request for help.

‘This is a girlish romance. … What Summer Unni and Autumn Unnie do is a thriller.’

“Let me help you! “Unconditionally!”

She was convinced that Oh Yuri, with her sound mind, should cooperate as much as she could.

***

During her regular part-time job, she talked to Cheon Jong-hun about her recent concerns about the direction of her work, and his answer was simple.

“James, just ignore what he says, it’s useless.”

It wasn’t the answer I expected.

“No, it’s not really wrong, right? “I hope the song contains a uniqueness that is different from others, but is this an expression that will be belittled to that extent?”

“It’s a statement that deserves to be disparaged. Well, he also can’t clearly express what it is. Can judgment be made purely in the sensory realm without theoretical definition and establishment? That sounds good. So, if I completely ignore theories, formulas, model answers and all, and just stick to notes as I see fit, can I be praised as being avant-garde?”

“No, probably not.”

“Then, the uniqueness means not wanting to enter the avant-garde.”

Cheon Jong-hun spoke excitedly, as if he had accumulated something.

“I didn’t like him from the beginning, because it’s obvious from the words of those who are addicted to art. … I’m lucky that I’m holding on now, but it wouldn’t be surprising if I ran out of inspiration right away and went into a slump and then took a dive. Well, I admit that I am holding on much longer than others, but even that doesn’t last long.”

Considering the future that James O will experience in the previous episode, it was a surprisingly objective analysis.

However, the words that criticized my co-worker so much made me feel a bit uncomfortable, so I protested.

“But isn’t it also true that composer James Oh has accumulated so many variations and narratives that he can’t compare to others, and has he turned them into results? In that case, it is considered that such a person’s senses can be regarded as sufficiently meaningful evidence when considering precedents.”

After hearing what I said, Cheon Jong-hun sighed and said.

“What do you think the race of composers is?”

“Are you talking about justice?”

“Yes, justice. “Don’t you, who have already passed the realm of initiation, come up with your own definition?”

“…”

James Oh mentioned ‘artist’ in that definition.

But I didn’t want to repeat those words. But no suitable answer came to mind.

Cheon Jong-hun, who was looking at me like that, took out the books next to his desk one by one and placed them on my hand.

The original books on music that Cheon Jong-hoon had forced me to read were piled up one by one in my hands.

Cheon Jong-hoon said this when he began to suspect that it was a new type of harassment because it was quite heavy.

“The race of composers is the race that deals with the ‘system.’”

“… “My hands hurt, can I put this book away?”

Then Cheon Jong-Hoon looked at me and continued speaking as he put away the books he had piled up one by one.

“… And the system is history. A model answer that pioneers and great composers have found through countless attempts. Yes, history is like a book in your hand.”

After putting away all the books by hand, Cheon Jong-hoon manipulated the audio and played a medley of hit songs and said.

“Why do we study music? Why analyze the killing chords and find and listen to songs that are already on the popular charts? That’s because we fully know that it is a model answer to receive the public’s love.”

I said the words that came to mind while listening to him.

“So, what do you think about the statement that composition is an art?”

“This is true if you look at art from the perspective of culture, but I disagree if you think of art as a means to spread the demand that you mistake for your own ideas or personality.”

From noble mtl dot come

Cheon Jong-hun looked at me clearly and said.

“And James Oh would consider it the latter.”

“…”

When I heard that and was silent, he opened his mouth again.

“Let me evaluate the song you made this time.” … Honestly, you did a good job. I didn’t expect that I would become so proficient so quickly as a teacher. The people who worked under me until now seemed like complete idiots. I don’t know how I got that prestigious academic background and awards. … No, beyond that, I even questioned whether it was credible.”

“… It is good to look at your subordinates with warm eyes. Otherwise, I’m leaving.”

“Go out.”

“…”

… It’s easy to say.

Cheon Jong-Hoon looked at me with a clumsy gaze, then looked away and said as if he was embarrassed.

“So, the point of what I said is that your song is objectively enough to receive good reviews from the public.”

“To the public?”

“Yes, the public. That’s it. The reason we developed the discipline of music and the reason the direction of the royal road was formulated as a system was all for the public! … But what are you worrying about now?”

“Yeah, for a better song…”

“No.”

Cheon Jong-hun cut me off and spoke more firmly than ever.

“You are now thinking about a song that will satisfy one James O.”

***

I returned to the studio and was pounding my head to get rid of the evil thoughts that wouldn’t come out, when there was a knock on the door.

“Please come in.”

“That’s me. Team Leader Seon.”

It was James O.

“Haha, come in. “Would you like a cup of tea?”

“No, you don’t have to. “I think it would be very embarrassing to be treated like that while you are probably busy interrupting me.”

“Hey, I can tell you how busy I am. Well, isn’t that just making one song? “It’s nothing compared to composer James O, who is writing four songs.”

In the first place, for a person like James Oh to do such work while receiving a salary from Two Bear was almost like volunteer work. I didn’t want to whine about making a song in front of someone like that.

James Oh shook his head and said in response to my joke containing such thoughts.

“Team Leader Seon’s job isn’t the only thing.”

… That’s right.

After speaking, James Oh looked at me and spoke carefully.

“How about we proceed with the title using the sample song you showed me last time?”

“… Yes? “You clearly reacted negatively at that time, right?”

“Oh, that’s… , Ha. “It was my mistake.”

James Oh said to me with a very rejected look.

“I shouldn’t have said that. Even more so for Team Leader Seon. … Team Leader Sun’s work is objectively of the highest quality. It’s not inferior at all to the songs I’ve made now. Isabella is right. It’s a sense of title. And it will get a good response.”

He looked directly at me and spoke firmly.

“Let’s just do that song.” “Please forget what I said.”

I was silent for a moment and thought about his words, then spoke.

“Why did you change your mind?”

“Because I realized late that I was evaluating Two Bear as a fan, not as a co-worker on the music team.”

“… “Are you a fan?”

“Yes, a fan. It is irrational, unreasonable, and expects too much. “The reason I criticized Team Leader Sun’s sample, which everyone would recognize as excellent, is because I looked at it from the wrong perspective.”

“…”

“There is no need for you to be more suited to my brute force. “I am truly sorry for causing you concern while I was busy.”

In fact, I’m so busy right now that it’s difficult to even spare time like this.

I am in charge of the schedule of the Revolutionary Girls, who are performing extremely well in each field, and I am also in charge of manpower and planning for the new album.

In relation to this, I am the one who establishes a public relations strategy with the public relations team and reports it to the president, and endless talks are expected with Seo Soo-yeon regarding the finances of all these matters.

In addition, due to the events of Summer and Autumn, I have become quite mentally weak.

In my heart, I just wanted to nod at James O’s words.

He also said that the quality is not bad, so the song’s level of completion is probably acceptable.

Even though I was aware of that, I asked a question.

“What does composer James Oh expect from me as a fan?”

James Oh answered that question without any hesitation.

“The world’s greatest genius.”

“…”

… Ha, haha.

That’s not even funny. What on earth do you see in me that makes you say such outrageous things?

It’s only appropriate to live up to expectations, but I couldn’t figure out what I could do to meet those expectations.

“…”

But then.

“The deadline was 7 days later, right?”

“Yes. Considering the schedule, it was okay.”

“Then, I will complete another one within 5 days. Because it takes time to edit.”

“No, you don’t have to…” ” , Would you be able to?”

“Yes, it is possible.”

However, I didn’t want to just pretend not to know that expectation.

“Because I am a genius.”

That was my pride.
