Episode 141 KATA TON DAIMONA EAYTOY (4)
It is said that there was a communication network even during the Joseon Dynasty.
It’s a beacon.
A very simple message that is divided into steps in advance, and then the message is conveyed by the number or number of times the fire is lit.
It is said that during the day, fireworks are not visible, so they are called bonyeon (smoke fireworks) instead.
In addition, it is said that they also used well-trained pigeons or falcons to send messages with letters tied to their feet. Surprisingly, this method is said to have been used much earlier than the Joseon Dynasty.
This may also be the reason why the modern post office symbol is a simplified version of a flying bird.
Among other communication networks, the best is definitely the Bobusang.
People who made a living by carrying bundles on their backs and traveling around the country selling goods.
These peddlers were a kind of communication network that delivered news from all over the country, and they were the news.
Since it was done by people, there would have been a time difference.
Why am I suddenly thinking like this?
Well… … .
“Oppaaaaah! Please take a look here!”
“Hey… … I’m surprised… … . You can be a rocker. Why is a rock talent like you here?”
I muttered as I looked towards the direction of the sound, wondering how I could possibly hear it in this chaotic and noisy environment.
Try talking to me again.
“Wow! Will you accept the Cheong-ah mask?”
“I don’t know about that.”
I replied and waved my hand once.
“Oppa! I love you!”
“I give my love to my parents. I just like them.”
“Then I like it!”
“… … Well, I’ll save that for my future boyfriend and just look up to him.”
“No! I love you and I like you!”
“Oh my.”
He chuckled and started walking again.
I’m not able to move quickly because there’s no room to step because of the people, but I’m slowly walking into the school.
I’m walking like this because the main gate of the school is packed with people and cars can’t enter the school.
Of course, under the protection of big business.
The security team prepared by Cheong-a is struggling to clear the road.
The 21st century… … is definitely different.
Kids these days won’t believe me if I tell them this, but even in the early 90s, before I time-slipped, things weren’t like they are now.
In just one day, people are exchanging information, checking our movements and waiting in advance.
“The world has really become a better place.”
As I walked with my hands in my pockets, Tae-joo smiled again.
“I’ve been thinking lately, but you seem more old-fashioned than us.”
“What can I do? My brothers evolved with the times and I suddenly appeared from the past.”
“Is it going to happen like that again?”
“Right. You know the boiling frog?”
I looked at Tae-joo hyung, wondering if he could hear me properly because it was so noisy around him, and he nodded.
“You know, if you raise the temperature slowly, the frogs won’t know it’s hot and will just cook to death.”
“If you put aside the lessons and just look at the core, it’s similar. As time goes by, we forget the past, that’s what my hyungs are doing. I feel it right away, thinking, “Ah, it’s hot.”
While we were talking like that, Dong-sik, who was walking ahead of us as if protecting us, glanced back and said.
“Dongha… … But isn’t this a bit of a nuisance?”
“Just enjoy it. You’re enjoying school too. Take a look around.”
When Dongsik Hyung turned his head to look around at my words, I also looked around with him.
People holding tiny, handheld handycams.
Some people have their phones attached to their handles to shine a light on us.
Some of them seem to be broadcasting or something, judging from the way they’re talking on their phones.
I know it well because that’s what my nostrils used to do.
It wasn’t just the general public or YouTubers who looked for the evolution announcement, but official media outlets also came to cover it.
He approached me, making a fuss as if he were a reporter, but was pushed back by angry female high school students.
usually.
Teenagers are the scariest.
Among them, the high school girl with her eyes rolled back is really strong.
As we barely pass through the main gate, a small, controlled circular space comes into view.
Wouldn’t it be the headmasters of each school who can control the crazy, crazy high school girls?
“Oh my… … You must have had a hard time. Thank you for coming. This is Kim Moon-hak from Jinwha High School.”
Then he bows and greets Taeju hyung.
“It’s Hakju.”
Teacher Kim Mun-hak straightens his back and looks at me as if he misheard me.
“Are you the student council president?”
“Uh… … Yes. How did you know… … ?”
“I just feel it. It’s instinctive.”
Even if a rat meets a cat for the first time, it knows instinctively.
Oh, that’s my natural enemy.
If I get caught, I’m in big trouble… … something like that.
Of course, there are other things besides those sensory and instinctive ones.
Students are not able to approach the teacher named Kim Moon-hak.
As if some kind of barrier had been put up.
Although corporal punishment has disappeared from 21st century schools, there is still a distinction between good teachers and scary teachers.
As we move with Professor Kim Moon-hak, the students follow him accordingly.
“Wow… … X-he’s so damn handsome… … .”
“Was the camera not picking it up?”
“But isn’t he really ugly?”
“A rougher feeling than that?”
“Oh, that’s right. Crabby. It seems like there’s no way a dog would be so picky.”
“That’s actually true. It was also in Rock Will Never Die. But anyway, A-Fly was the first band, and they were like, ‘What the hell is that?’”
The sound of boys chattering rang in my ears.
I was about to say something, but I restrained myself, thinking that I was just there to give my nephew three-colored crayons and that it wasn’t right to cause trouble.
“Brother! Please take a look here!”
“Dong-ha, oppa!”
“I’m a member of that fan club! My nickname is Dongha Cheon-beon-gae-widow! Please remember me!”
I just can’t get past this.
So I stopped walking and approached the girl who had just shouted.
“… … !”
When I actually approached him, his nervousness was so obvious that it looked like his face was going to explode. I’m the type of person who can tolerate injustice, but can’t tolerate curiosity.
“Why the thousandth wife? There are first, second, and even second places.”
When I asked that, a female student nicknamed “Mrs. Dongha Cheon-nae” opened her mouth with a red face.
“I tried up to three hundred and something… … but since I had everything, I just did it for the thousandth time… … .”
“Oh. Really? It wasn’t anything special?”
But this time, as if something had stimulated him, he suddenly started to react violently.
“Why is that a big deal? After getting married a thousand times, you’ll get sick of it. That’s why I’m your last wife!”
I… I don’t know, high school girl.
It’s a bit shocking that you can accept a man who’s been married a thousand times.
No, before that.
Wouldn’t you die before getting married a thousand times?
Even if you get married once a year, you probably won’t get married a hundred times.
“I think I’ll die before I get to you.”
“That’s good too!”
Would it be appropriate to call this madness?
“… … Okay… … Thank you… … .”
I smiled, patted the girl’s head once, and walked ahead.
It seemed like it was staggering.
I don’t think you’ll die.
You’ll have to live a long time to marry me.
He opened his mouth again, walking side by side with his brothers.
“Wow, man, I’m still brand new. When will I get to get married a thousand times?”
The brothers just laugh.
Well, I know it’s funny to respond seriously to something like that.
I’m pretty serious about it.
Are we past the days when rock was a sex symbol?
Or maybe my luck in love disappeared during my time slip?
That seems reasonable.
This is what happens when the God of Music X sends me back to the future.
– Dong-ha, just do music. Please spread good music around the world.
‘Shut up, you piece of shit! I’m going to date and get married.’
―Hahaha. But I, the god of music, have completely ruined Dong-ha’s luck in love. He’ll be a bachelor all his life, doing nothing but music until he grows old. Hahaha.
Come to think of it, God, this is really fucking annoying.
Haven’t you ever lost?
But you’re a rookie, so what about dating?
But why can’t I date like Happy or Pippi, who were dragged to the animal hospital by their owners as soon as they were born?
‘Ah… … No, that’s not it.’
Let’s not get too serious, since there’s still no definitive proof that God did that.
While I was lost in my own fantasy for a moment.
We arrived at the stage prepared at the Jinwha Preview Stadium.
“Oh… … Is that because it’s a preview? The playground is circular?”
At my words, student council head teacher Kim Moon-hak introduces himself with a proud expression.
“It was built with the plan to use it as a performance venue by installing a stage like it is now. As I said, we are ‘foreshadowing’ evolution.”
It certainly seems like they are proud of the fact that they are emphasizing the word ‘foreshadowing’.
But when you pronounce the letter ‘go’ in ‘예고’, this teacher’s mouth shape looks like a butthole.
‘Kim Mun-hak… … Kim Mun-hak… … literature… … academics… … anus… … Kim butthole… … .’
Just as it was easy to guess who the principal was, it was also easy to guess this teacher’s nickname.
At that moment, Suchan hyung finished talking on the phone with someone, glanced at Taeju hyung, and then came over to me.
It feels like he originally wanted to ask Taeju something, but then he said, “Oh no,” and came to me.
This is a kind of sense that is possible only because it is Suchan’s older brother.
Wherever we go, people always look for Taejoo hyung, but he knows that I am the real power in this team.
“Dongha-ya.”
“What is it?”
“The road outside is so packed with people that the police department even contacted us asking what to do. What should we do?”
“Can’t those people see the internal festival?”
“We’re blocking it for now. It seems like there are people sneaking in. We’re blocking it as much as possible.”
I approached Mr. Kim Dong-kko again and asked him a question.
“Teacher, isn’t the Evolution Festival originally not open to the public?”
“That… … was originally supposed to be open, but since it’s the first time we’ve seen so many cases like this, we’ve been blocking it from the start.”
“Wouldn’t it be a problem for the school if it were to open?”
At my words, Mr. Kim Dong-kko made a quick phone call to someone to check, then looked back and forth between me, Tae-joo, and Suchan before opening his mouth.
“As long as people don’t go towards the classroom building.”
hmm.
We come to the stage where we are set up, and the security team secures the space.
Students head to their seats in the playground, which have been prepared in advance, to get the best view of our performance.
Of course, there are still a lot of people around us with their phones taking pictures of us and yelling at us.
Anyway, it seems that the field of vision has been secured to some extent.
Since I’m not that short, I can see the situation at the main gate by lifting my legs slightly and doing a piggyback ride.
People screaming to be let in like a horde of zombies.
Security teams and school teachers are stopping them.
A crowd of people outside the school gate.
Opening the door would be possible if we could maintain order and allow people to come in, but given the current situation… … there is a risk that if we open the door, people will run wild.
In the first place, that is why we are unable to open up.
“This is also the fate of a rock star… … .”
I ran up to the stage like a person who had attained enlightenment.
Oh, to be exact, this time I went up on stage in one go.
You have to keep going up and down the stage.
Just like how someone who has tried meat knows how to eat it well, you have to keep trying to improve.
Anyway, I go up and grab the standing microphone that was prepared in advance and look around, and my field of vision becomes wider at once.
When I looked down at the stage, I saw the faces of the hyungs looking at me with eyes like, “Why is he doing that again?” and the faces of the performance staff who had given up.
I don’t know if the performance production team is external or part of the company.
Anyway, since we’re a rock band, we’re already familiar with all the members of this team.
Just as I know them, they too are now fully aware of my… … eccentricities.
“Can you turn on the mic, Bongtae hyung?”
Brother Kim Bong-tae was startled by my words.
“Do you know the name…?”
“Why don’t you know? Everyone says, ‘Bongtae, Bongtae.’”
“Ah… … I’m so touched.”
“Just think about that to yourself. Okay, turn on the mic.”
“Right now? The instruments aren’t all connected yet?”
“Just the microphone. That should work, right? Because the speakers are connected.”
“Ah… … Just the microphone… … Yeah, yeah.”
Bongtae turned on the microphone and drew a large circle with his hand.
I tapped the microphone a couple of times to confirm, and a booming sound came through the speaker.
It’s on.
“Ah, ah! I’m moving!”
Double breathing.
And if you have a good microphone and prepared speakers.
My voice can go anywhere.
I borrowed a line from a drama I was rewatching. The kids here probably don’t know.
anyway.
As my voice echoes outside the school gate, the commotion dies down.
Looks like something is going on.
“If you want to see the show, come in line! I’m moving! I’m moving in line!”
“… … .”
Although my brothers frown at my rotten jokes.
So what?
If I want to let even one more person in, I have to step forward.
