The Healing Life of a Music Genius - Chapter 174



Only Noblemtl

174 Full of emotion

* * *

Playing, composing, singing.

Hyun Yuri had a good understanding of music in general.

No matter what I told them, they immediately understood what it meant.

In particular, in the case of harmony studies, there are definitely parts that need to be approached sensuously in addition to what is in the textbook, and I seemed to vaguely and instinctively know that.

I asked Hyeon-yuri the same thing back to make sure she understood it properly, and although she stuttered, she gave a plausible answer.

Now in my first year of middle school.

14 years old.

Even if I compare myself to myself on a deserted island when I was a ‘real 14 year old’, I can say that Hyun Yuri today is a child full of talent.

“Huhhhhh…”

However, perhaps because I asked ‘a little’ too many questions, the child was upset.

After listening to Hyun Yuri playing the guitar almost unconsciously, I told her honestly.

“I guess he’s the chief for no reason. “You’re really good at it.”

“uh? “Me?”

“So, you can compose and perform on the spot. good job.”

It was a little clumsy, but what was more important was that we did it somehow.

Uncle Miller always spoke to me this way.

While giving guitar lessons, I now have the opportunity to explain the general content of music to Hyun Yuri.

Hyun Yuri looked at me and took a deep breath.

“I’m also very poor at playing the guitar… Even though I only understood about 20% of what my senior said?”

“Then we only have to meet four more times.”

“······ yes?”

“Then it’s 100%. And no joke, you did really well. Now I just need to pay attention to finishing that song. As for how to play the guitar, I remember what I told you and then practice it. Understand?”

Hyun Yuri blinked her eyes several times.

“······ oh! All right! senior! thank you!”

He answered me a beat late.

I cleaned up the practice room.

I put the chair back in place and collected the eraser powder on the desk.

Hyun Yuri seemed surprised when she saw me, and started moving faster than me.

“senior! I will do it!”

“What a great thing.”

“Still! Ouch! “Senior, please stay still!!!”

By the time we left the practice room, about 2 hours had passed.

While waiting for Hyun Yuri, who had gone to drop off the key to the practice room at the teacher’s office, I thought about an old thought for a moment.

Mr. Miller taught me about music on a desert island and said that teaching was fun.

Only today I felt like I could understand a little bit what those words meant back then.

In the distance, a huge guitar case moves left and right and approaches me.

The string glass is small and appears to be attached to the case.

At first glance, you might think the guitar is floating in the air.

The route home from school was the same.

I had to go to the bus stop to go to Saebom-dong, and Hyun Yuri had to take the bus to go to ⌜Sparkle Music⌟ for lessons. Only the bus we had to take was different.

While walking down the street, I thoughtlessly asked Hyun Yuri a question.

“But when I said it was MJ, why did you immediately believe me? “If it were me, I would have been suspicious first, telling you not to mess around.”

Hyun Yuri looked around in surprise and spoke in a very quiet voice.

“senior! Is it okay to say MJ like that? Even though there are no people…”

“Normally people don’t care about other people’s conversations. are you okay.”

“still······.”

“I said it’s okay.”

Hyun Yuri took a deep breath and answered my question.

“Actually, I had no choice but to believe what my senior said. Guitar skills, composition feedback, music theory. Each one seemed to be greater than the teachers… You also showed me the NewTube page. “I had no choice but to believe it right away.”

“I see. But Yuri, from now on you will have to listen carefully to what people say. Because I have a personality that tries to help others, I have a great sense of humor, and I even trust people well. “If you don’t do it well, you could be seriously deceived.”

The guitar floating in the air stopped for a moment.

“Can’t I trust someone who gives me that advice?”

“Look, it’s like that again.”

“But what about your senior? Did you know what I would do and told you ‘that fact’? I might be able to spread the word about the neighborhood. “Actually, aren’t seniors also good at trusting people?”

I chuckled.

“It’s more that you didn’t seem like that type of person. A pure musician. It seemed that way. And just in case, I thought it would be okay to tell someone else that I was MJ.”

“······ is it so?”

“Because there are no eternal secrets in the world. That time will come someday, so I thought it would be okay to think of it as being brought forward. And if you break the secret treaty, won’t your conscience prick you too, Yuri? “I thought that was enough of a ‘price.’”

I thought Hyun Yuri would be such an innocent child.

Hyun Yuri blinked several times after hearing what I said.

Then he smiles broadly.

“see. “I actually thought my senior would be like this.”

“huh? what?”

“I also heard my senior play the piano in the auditorium during the entrance ceremony. I thought about it then. “I don’t think people who play like this are bad people.”

“okay?”

“Maybe that’s why I immediately believed what my senior said. You even showed me evidence. Seojin senior didn’t seem like the kind of person who would lie.”

In some ways, it sounds absurd.

However, there was also a glimpse of innocence suitable for a 14-year-old child.

There was no one at the bus stop.

I checked the arrival time on the electronic display, and it seemed like I would have to wait a little longer.

“But why do you want to give me a lesson?”

“why? no?”

“Oh, no! That’s not it. I’m taking up my senior’s time for no reason. so······.”

“Actually, I’ve received a lot of help along the way. So I couldn’t pass up this talented junior. Moreover, you approached me with good intentions first. “If that is the reason, then that is the reason.”

“······ is that so?”

“Actually, Yuri, your skills have improved a lot just today. That alone made me quite proud. Of course, I won’t be able to see you often.”

“I am very grateful just for today! Really! but······.”

Hyun Yuri took something out of the outer pocket of her guitar case and turned her upper body to face me.

When I took a quick look, Hyun Yuri saw that the wallet with a frog character on it had been cut in half.

“W-Would you please accept this? It’s a lesson fee! This is usually how it should be done. “This is my remaining pocket money for this month!”

“······.”

Money spread out with both hands.

I counted it with my eyes and it was 37,000 won.

I burst out laughing again.

“it’s okay. “Let’s buy some delicious snacks later.”

“senior. That can’t be possible. I also know manners. Next month… “From the first day I receive my allowance, I will give it all to you as lesson fee!”

Hyun Yuri stretches out her hand towards me.

I took the money and refilled the frog’s wallet.

“I said it was done. later. Don’t you think you’ll have juniors too? Then help that junior. Don’t forget this moment and buy them food, teach them music, and give them lessons like I did. “Do it like that.”

“······ yes?”

“That’s enough for me.”

“······.”

“And when my senior says this, I just say ‘Thank you’ and move on. “That way, I’ll be less embarrassed.”

“······.”

“is not it?”

I tried to repeat to Hyun Yuri exactly what Daesung had heard from his brother.

Hyun Yuri seemed to be lost in thought for a while, then she got up from her seat, bowed her head, and shouted, “Thank you!”

This was enough for me.

Hyun Yuri talked about what happened in the past week on ⌜Sparkle Music⌟.

This time, there is talk that the song he made is actually selling.

It was said that maybe he would make his debut.

“Good.”

“By the way, senior. What should I do with my senior’s name when registering the copyright for this song? “I’m not sure if I should say ‘Han Seo-jin’ or ‘MJ’.”

What Hyun Yuri said casually.

I answered that there was no need for that.

First of all, I didn’t pay enough attention to say that I participated in the production of ‘this song’, and if my name was registered for no reason, both things could get complicated.

MJ’s name appears on a song by a rookie middle school composer?

Or is Queen Elizabeth participant Han Seo-jin’s name listed?

In both cases, I was just tired.

Hyun Yuri, who listened to my explanation and agreed to some extent, said that she could not compromise on this much.

He said he would definitely cover my composition and arrangement fees someday.

I know it’s not just a penny or two, so I said I’d pay it back later when I succeed.

“Tsk tsk. it’s okay. “Let’s give it back to our junior.”

“Still. “This is the reward for my own efforts!”

“okay?”

“Sure!”

“Then how much do you think it will cost?”

“that······.”

Hyun Yuri thinks for a while and then picks a few fingers.

“Oh, wouldn’t five million won be enough?”

“Did I sing louder than I expected?”

“no way······. “Do you have to have more money than this?”

“well.”

Just then, a bus to Saebom-dong arrived.

Just before getting on the bus.

I said something as a joke.

“For now, let’s give it back to our junior. However, if you have any questions, please ask the lesson teacher. Something pretty interesting might happen.”

“yes?”

“I’ll just go now. Yuri, see you later.”

“······ oh! Then take care! senior!”

When I sat down on the bus, I saw Hyeon-yuri waving from a chair at the stop.

A slightly quirky yet amazing junior.

Thanks to this, school life didn’t seem to be boring.

.

.

.

That evening.

⌜Sparkle Music⌟.

The lesson teacher who was listening to Hyun Yuri’s words burst out laughing.

“Yuri, you already have big dreams. MJ: Do you want Yuri to receive the same guarantee that composers receive? So, are you curious about how much MJ’s guarantee is?”

“It’s not that…. “If anything happens…”

‘I think things might work out that way.’

Hyun Yuri swallowed her words as she promised her senior.

But since this was money that had to be repaid, I had to ask.

“huh? “Yuri, what?”

“I just want to know roughly how much it is. It’s okay if it’s not accurate. “Please.”

“Uhm. If Yuri says so much. “I guess I’ll have to let you know.”

She, who goes back and forth to ⌜Moonlight⌟ and gives lessons, had a story that she had heard through rumors.

So, I told Yuri about MJ’s ‘approximate guarantee’.

“······ yes?”

“why? Is it because it seems like your composition fee you will receive this time is too low? It’s all like that at first. “I guess MJ started out like that too?”

“no! That’s not it… How much? “Maybe I didn’t hear you correctly?”

“Tsk tsk. It’s hard to believe, right? “Me too?”

The lesson teacher once again told us about MJ’s guarantee.

Hyun Yuri dropped her frog character wallet.

MJ’s songwriting guarantee cannot be covered even by 1,000 frogs on the floor.

Hyun Yuri received it as a favor from senior Seo Jin.

‘Uh, what should I do?’

The lesson teacher picked up Hyeon-yuri’s wallet, which she had dropped.

Hyun Yuri thanked the teacher, but after thinking for a while, she came to her own conclusion.

‘uh······. Like Seojin senior said, it’s right to help your junior, right?’

‘Ahahaha…’

‘ha ha ha······.’

Hyun Yuri, who was working on arrangements at ⌜Sparkle Music⌟ in a slightly dazed state, returned home late in the evening.

and.

Hyun Yuri was thinking about what happened today in her room…

“OMG! I can’t survive! What on earth did I do today! Are you saying I will push my senior? Just trust me and audition? “What did I say again today?”

‘I think I also said that senior Seojin had a talent for composing?’

‘this······. MJ: Are you saying this is what you said to the composer?’

‘then······.’

‘How do I get to school from now on?’

‘This can’t happen! ‘This shouldn’t happen!!!’

Hyun Yuri had to bury her face deeply in the pillow on the bed and shake her feet for a long time.

‘Aaaah!!!’

‘This is the dark side of life!!!’

* * *

One interesting thing happened in my school life, which I thought would be the same.

From time to time, I have time to meet my juniors, give them lessons, and talk about songs.

Lee Ha-eun, who was listening to my story, spoke indifferently.

“Shouldn’t I at least get paid for lessons?”

“I’m going to eat the flea’s liver. Who gets paid for lessons from whom? If I do that, it will actually become my dark side.”

“Uhm. That is correct. But aren’t you the only one having a hard time?”

“The hardships. As I teach you, I can organize what I have learned so far. “Hyun Yu-ri is so unique that it’s fun to watch.”

“okay?”

“huh. Last time, you said you would erase my memories and even learned hypnosis? “I’m asking you to please forget what happened back then.”

“Tsk tsk. That’s funny. But did hypnosis work?”

“No way. The memories just became clearer. “I don’t think I’ll ever forget it.”

“Oh my.”

“It was a handshake.”

While chatting with Lee Ha-eun, I handed out a pamphlet to a student entering the school gate.

Surprisingly, Lee Ha-eun decided to run for the student council president election.

This was my friend who was showing endless greed(?) to gain power in the school.

“······ Surely there has been a desire for power since long ago?”

“huh? what?”

“no. no. “I was just talking to myself.”

“Umm. Doesn’t that seem like it? For your information, I am acting for the rights and interests of students.”

“Politicians on TV say things similar to you.”

“I’m different?”

“He said the same thing. Have you ever learned it?”

“······.”

Lee Ha-eun’s friends decided to help her with the election, and I also started helping Lee Ha-eun from today, when election activities begin.

I saw a guitar case shaking in the distance.

The guitar case stopped and immediately ran towards me and greeted me.

“hello! Senior Seojin! “Hello to you, Ha-eun!”

“Hmm, Yuri, you went to school early?”

“I thought I’d stop by the practice room for a moment in the morning. uh······. “But what are you two doing?”

I handed out the pamphlet without saying a word.

Hyun Yuri, who was studying the contents carefully, looks at Lee Ha-eun.

“Senior Ha-eun. May I help you?”

“suddenly?”

“yes. If you are a friend of senior Seojin, then you are also a close friend to me. So, I thought it would be nice if I could help you.”

“Eh, it’s okay. “We can do it on our own.”

“No. First, I’ll try roasting and boiling it for the kids in my class. I have good execution skills. “Once you enroll in the first-year entertainment department, then…”

I quietly cut off Hyun Yuri’s conversation.

Because something like this couldn’t be called an ‘improper solicitation dispute’ for no reason.

With that child’s behavioral skills, I couldn’t predict what would happen in the future.

Hyun Yuri reached an appropriate compromise with Lee Ha-eun’s campaign team and began handing out pamphlets next to us.

But it wasn’t quiet.

“For our green folk tales! Our senior Lee Ha-eun will step forward!”

“······.”

“Your one vote will change school life! help! everyone!”

“······.”

“We have a dream! My dream as a musician! Senior Ha-eun did that! “We will make it!”

“······.”

Very wide string glass.

In addition, my friends from Class A, a second-year piano major, started cheering me on at the school gate instead of going to school.

“You’re Lee Ha-eun, right? Our hope! A legend in the piano department!”

“There are two children who brought out Beethoven’s spirit in me. That’s Lee Ha-eun and Han Seo-jin. “Those two are running for election.”

“after. If this is the case, I have no choice but to push you, right?”

“I can’t help it.”

“Waaah!!!”

“Lee Ha-eun! Lee Ha-eun! Lee Ha-eun!”

“For our dreams! Please vote! “This is Lee Ha-eun, who stands up for students’ rights and interests!”

“awesome!!!”

Lee Ha-eun watched the series of situations and secretly covered her face with her hand.

I tried to talk to Lee Ha-eun, who was avoiding even my gaze.

“Ha-eun.”

“excuse me······. “Would you mind coming to see me in a little while?”

“I just want to say this first.”

“what is that?”

“Power always comes with a price. So hold on. “Only then can you sit on the throne.”

“······.”

“So bear the weight of the crown.”

“······.”

Lee Ha-eun was unable to open her mouth.

Meanwhile, Lee Ha-eun’s election organizers continued their conversation endlessly.

“Today, I heard Mozart’s sound, right? “It was from the music Lee Ha-eun gave me.”

“Hehe. After all, you are the student council president. “Sharp.”

“okay. Spring will come someday… “It’s coming for us.”

“Winter will end someday. Flowers bloom even in folk tales.”

“That too from Lee Ha-eun.”

“Kyaaa!!!”

“Aren’t we very emotional? right?”

“that’s right. “Are we supposed to be middle school students for no reason?”

We are full of emotions from middle school students…

They were real second year middle school students.

My friend’s campaign work was very interesting.

“······.”

I’m not sure what the person with a blushing face is thinking right now.
