Early the next morning.

I received a call directly from Grant, the director of ⌜DreamSounds⌟.

– ······ okay. It looks like ⌜Get back⌟ will finish in 19th place. After reaching its peak, it is now stably staying in the top 30, so unless there are any special events, the ranking will gradually drop and reach a natural finish.

19th place.

It was just below singer Jack Walker’s career-high ranking of ’17th’ on the Billboard HOT 100.

“It’s a little disappointing that it ends with only one step left. Of course, I am 100% satisfied with my grades.”

– But not really. Like 1st and 3rd, there is no significant difference between 17th and 19th. What’s important is that Walker is able to do ‘decent activities’ again.

I thought about what I heard from Director Grant a little while ago.

“Singer Walker, you said you had a concert scheduled, right?”

– It will take quite some time just to travel around the United States for a concert. Thanks to you.

As I am not in the United States, I could easily find out that singer Jack Walker’s schedule had increased significantly just by searching on the Internet.

Director Grant also told me about Sunny Delight.

First, he said that ⌜SD Food⌟ sent him another letter saying that he was very satisfied with the advertising music.

If I get the chance next time, I will prioritize requesting MJ to do commercial music.

He also said that other companies are continuing to send love calls to MJ after seeing the success of the Sunny Delight advertisement.

– But you didn’t say you needed a job right away, right?

“For now, I’m going to focus on my school life again. “School started yesterday.”

– haha. I probably wouldn’t have believed that if I hadn’t seen you in person. I heard you are now in your second year of middle school?

“It’s the prime time.”

– Tsk tsk tsk. okay. At your age, there are things you can only learn at school. School life is also very important. So is it fun?

“I think that’s about to happen. “It’s thanks to the influx of many cute juniors.”

I briefly recalled what happened yesterday.

After the entrance celebration performance, the cute kids who had just graduated from elementary school were applauding me passionately.

I felt like I was going to laugh again at their cheers.

– ······ I can’t believe this is your first Billboard entry career. Same goes for your age. I think you would probably be counted among the few Billboard composers. of course······.

“What I do next will be more important.”

Director Grant laughed on the phone.

– I was going to say that I was looking forward to the future. okay. Then, have fun at school, prepare hard for the competition, and I’ll be waiting for your new song to come out.

“yes. All right. “Please say hello to singer Walker.”

– I hope you are staying healthy too.

After finishing the phone call, I first checked my watch.

It’s perfect time to change clothes and go out.

I changed into my Seolhwa Ye Middle School uniform and went down to the first floor.

“oh! “It’s my brother!”

Suyeon was the first to get up from the table and handed me a slice of bread.

Toast spread half and half with peanut jam and strawberry jam.

Looking at it, it seemed like it was Suyeon’s work.

Suyeon kept her mouth shut until I took a bite of the toast.

I gave an honest evaluation.

“Mmm~ This toast is so delicious~ Did your mother make it? Or where did you get it from?”

“I think so?”

“huh. “Isn’t it possible?”

“Hi-Hi. “Oppa, actually, this toast.”

As expected, Sooyeon’s work was great.

After eating two slices of toast and a cup of warm tea, I left the house with Suyeon.

My father had already gone to work, and my mother said she was leaving home a little late because she had a lecture.

So, I decided to go to and from school with Suyeon for the first time in a long time.

The streets of Saebom-dong, which had been covered with snow, began to feel the spirit of spring.

Green grass and wild flowers whose names I don’t know are suddenly visible.

And the warm morning sunlight, a little different from winter, welcomed my siblings.

Su-yeon stopped on her way and looked at the floor closely.

I look at the green grass sticking out between the gaps in the cement-paved road.

“brother. “How on earth did they survive the winter?”

“well. “Could it have been a winter hibernation?”

“Uhm. “No matter how much I think about it, it’s amazing.”

Suyeon walked slightly away from where the grass was growing.

We arrived at the kindergarten bus stop and spent some time chatting.

The bus came quickly.

The kindergarten teacher recognized me and said hello to Suyeon and me.

“It would be nice for Suyeon. “Because my brother takes me there so often.”

“Hi-Hi. “Actually, it’s really good.”

“Your brother is having a hard time too~”

“No. Because it’s fun to be with Suyeon. “You can’t say this is hard work.”

Suyeon smiles brightly after hearing what I say.

Suyeon, who followed the teacher onto the bus, immediately waved at me. I also waved my hand the same way.

Suyeon could now clearly see her face even through the height of the bus window.

‘When did it grow so quickly?’

I don’t know even if I know it.

After helping Sooyeon go to school, I quickly headed to Seolhwa Yejung.

And there…

I was able to meet many new students.

“Senior Seojin, hello!”

“I enjoyed your performance yesterday!”

“It was really cool! As expected, the pianist was different!”

“I was impressed!”

“this······. please accept this!”

“It’s a gift in return for listening to the performance!”

The children greeted me and even gave me snacks.

After thinking for a moment, I had no choice but to accept the snack.

I felt like I would be even more upset if I didn’t accept it.

“thank you. But you don’t have to go this far from now on. Understand?”

“yes!”

“yes!”

“yes!”

“yes!”

“······.”

I asked the children, who were looking at me with their eyes wide open, just in case.

“excuse me······. But kids? “Are you guys waiting for me?”

As soon as I finish asking my question, one of the kids answers, “Yes!”

The children around me immediately started complaining.

“hey! “What if I tell you that?”

“that’s right! Senior Seojin might feel burdened!”

“We’ve already talked about this!”

“I······. oh!”

“idiot!”

“fool!”

The children told me it was okay and went into the school first, cackling among themselves.

Shin Ju-won, who must have been watching this situation, came towards me and spoke indifferently.

“What on earth did you play in the auditorium yesterday? “You suddenly became a star among freshmen?”

“That’s right.”

“But are you going to eat it all by yourself?”

Shin Joo-won is like a hyena who covets my snacks.

I said firmly.

“The fans gave it to me, but I can’t give it to someone else.”

“Pan? “Am I someone else?”

“Honestly, we’re not family.”

“Tsk.”

On the way to class together, I opened some snacks, and among them, I gave 3 canchos to Shin Joo-won.

“I’m sorry.”

“Pay me back later.”

“You’re really mean.”

After breaking up with Shin Joo-won, who was in class B in the second year of piano department.

At the entrance to 2nd grade class A, I couldn’t help but pause for a moment.

“and! Senior Seojin has arrived!”

“Chopin was the best yesterday!”

“It was awesome!!!”

“I came here to say hello for the first time!”

“here! It’s a gift! please accept this!”

In front of a classroom filled with children much smaller than me.

Judging by the sounds of laughter in the classroom, it seemed like my friends had been ignoring this situation for a long time.

After a brief thank you and a brief sermon, the new students began to return to their classrooms one by one.

I asked Lee Ha-eun, who was giggling in the classroom, a question.

“How long have they been around?”

“About 30 minutes ago? “It’s awesome, right?”

“I should have sent it back because it was a bit rude.”

“why. It’s cute. It seems like everyone came because they were impressed by your performance. For your information, you were waiting in an orderly manner? “I was standing in line.”

Lee Ha-eun, who came to school first, said she had work to do today and continued speaking as if she were very calm.

“Seojin, you became a ‘big senior’ in just one day? “When we entered school last year, there was no senior who gave me the same vibe as you.”

“I won’t be gone for a few days anyway. Everyone will be busy adapting to the story.”

“but. When practical training begins, it’s a bit hectic. uh? But he…”

“huh?”

Lee Ha-eun pointed to the back door of the classroom, so I turned my head.

maybe······. Was he the top student in the entire entertainment department?

Department of Applied Music Composition.

I saw it briefly when the award was given.

The child, who was much shorter than Lee Ha-eun last year, made eye contact with me and was startled and hid in a group of friends.

‘Rather than that… ‘Where on earth did you see him?’

I’m sure I’ve encountered it somewhere before, but I couldn’t remember.

So I went out to the back door of the classroom just in case, but the kid ended up disappearing somewhere.

Small new students flocking near me.

I receive gifts like cookies and letters from them.

I was lost in thought for a moment.

* * *

‘Ha, I almost got caught!’

Hyun Yuri, who was calming her pounding heart and catching her breath, peeked out her head.

Senior Han Seo-jin is surrounded by many friends.

I didn’t have the courage to ask questions in this situation.

Senior Seojin clearly performed on the Hongdae stage while wearing a mask.

If so, they are clearly operating in secret.

I felt like I shouldn’t mention that fact in front of so many people.

‘I’d like to check, but…’

This was Hyun Yu-ri’s personal curiosity, and there was also something she had to ask a question about.

So Hyun Yuri waited for the right opportunity to present itself.

.

.

.

Day 1.

Senior Seojin walked out the main gate of Seolwha Yejung carrying a huge box of snacks.

A situation where friends still follow seniors.

Today it seemed like there was nothing I could do.

Day 2.

Senior Seojin went straight to the practice room after eating at lunchtime.

You practice hard alone.

Great performance.

Even though there is no problem with hearing, the same part is played repeatedly on the piano.

While I was debating whether to go into the practice room or not, a group of seniors raided the place.

The practice room quickly became noisy.

today······. It seemed like there was no way to do it.

Day 3.

The senior has disappeared!!!

Did he drop out of school because the new students were bothering him?

Fortunately, according to the rumors, it didn’t seem like that was the case.

He said he went to the press in the afternoon to film because he had an interview.

I also heard that senior Seojin does more filming like this than other seniors in the entertainment department.

‘But what kind of interview is this?’

Anyway, today was a failure again.

Day 5.

crying!!!

Seolhwa Ye Middle School teachers assigned a lot of homework.

There was so much homework that I couldn’t handle it.

I had such a hard time taking the entrance exam…

That was nothing to compare.

Let’s come to our senses first!

I was confident in harmonics.

I’ve made quite a few songs by myself so far.

If you just concentrate, this is nothing…

oh! right! senior!

Where did senior Seojin go?

I forgot what I was supposed to do, which was to solve harmony problems with my friends after school.

I hurriedly went to 2nd grade A class, but it was empty.

failure.

Failures continue to pile up.

Day 7.

A week has already passed.

I was busy doing homework yesterday and today.

There are so many tasks so difficult that it brings tears to your eyes.

All of my friends in the composition department were frustrated to hear that there was also practical instrumental practice.

Among the entertainment departments at Seolwha Arts Middle School, the practical music composition department was not a place you could get into just because you were good at composition.

First of all, I had to know how to play each instrument, and I had to at least confirm my vocal ability.

In a word, this is a department that requires an all-rounder to enter.

It’s fortunate that I know how to play the guitar a little, otherwise I would have been in big trouble.

‘Kitara…’

When I thought about acoustic guitar, Seojin senior came to mind.

At that time, I saw you playing alone at Star Live House…

The performance was truly top-notch.

I also heard him sing about two songs, and that wasn’t a joke either.

What kind of singer did I think you were?

Anyway, the more I thought about it, the more fascinating it became.

But is Seojin trying to play band music even though he plays the piano so well?

There must be a story.

Senior Seojin said that he definitely has a contract with Classic Agency.

Could it be that they signed an unfair contract with that place?

You can never do pop music!

so!

Just follow our contract!

like this.

‘I saw it a lot on TV.’

Actually, I heard a lot of rumors.

I was worried.

Since I am a trainee at a strong entertainment agency called ⌜Sparkle Music⌟, a label under ⌜Moongwang⌟, I have had many opportunities to hear various rumors.

I also heard that a senior at a middle school was unable to pursue music in the future because he was not good at signing contracts.

What a terrible story!

So, if you get the chance…

If the reason Seojin secretly makes pop music is because of that contract.

I thought I could help you a little.

⌜Sparkle Music⌟ Using the trainee’s common sense.

‘Heh. This is music.’

At that time, Hyun Yuri was thinking about various things.

“so. Why were you looking for me like that? He’s been appearing near me a lot lately. It was seen often. “Did you say it was Hyun Yuri?”

“Gyaaaaaaaa!!!”

Senior Seojin, who came and went like that…

It appeared from an unexpected corner of the hallway!

This happened on the 7th day of perfect tracking.
