The Healing Life of a Music Genius - Chapter 178

178 Range of Talents

* * *

The season when the warm wind begins to gently blow.

In a warm spring filled with newness and excitement.

⌜For some reason, people started listening to spring⌟ again.

A song that never goes out of style.

Even though it has already been a year since it was released, people revisited this song, recalling memories from that time.

So naturally, ⌜somehow, Bom⌟ rose to the top of the music charts.

ㄴ Haha! A song that explodes with sensitivity?

ㄴ I remembered it while looking at the cherry blossoms, so I looked it up and listened to it. It’s really good~

ㄴ It’s a song that tickles my heart. This is what I hear the most these days.

ㄴ But even though it’s a year old, I think I’ve gotten better at listening to it? Is it because I got used to it?

ㄴ I guess it’s because it’s a song that brings back memories?

ㄴ It’s ranked 3rd on the charts again after a year. He’s a complete music bully.

ㄴ It’s a pension song lol.

ㄴ ㄹㅇ MJ is making money just by sitting and breathing, right?

ㄴ I’m really jealous…

ㄴ But the vocalist of this song ⌜For some reason, did he completely stop his activities after spring⌟? You can’t even see it at all.

ㄴ ⌜Unknown⌟? Didn’t you hear that rumor?

What rumor?

ㄴ In fact, there are rumors that ⌜Unknown⌟ is MJ. They both work without a face, right? Isn’t it strange?

ㄴ So, MJ was looking for a singer to sing ⌜For some reason, Bom⌟, but couldn’t find one, so he ended up singing it himself?

ㄴ ㅇㅇ You got that kind of prompting?

ㄴ But judging by ⌜Unknown⌟’s voice, he’s at least a high school student, right?

ㄴ So MJ is a high school student?

ㄴ There is a possibility.

ㄴ A~

ㄴ When I look at the end of the charts these days, I see that there is a fuss about a really young composer debuting. Was it Hyun Yuri? I am now in my first year of middle school. On the other hand, MJ also has a lot of potential.

B Wait a minute. Middle school grade 1? 14 years old???

ㄴ Kids these days are crazy lol.

Wow. Does that make sense? What a crazy genius.

ㄴ When I was 14 hahaha what did I do then? Have you been eating ice cream?

ㄴ I must have been digging in the dirt at the playground.

B But I think Hyun Yuri is really talented. She ⌜ Know ⌟ She’s a pretty good singer, and I heard she’s currently attending a prestigious middle school. I heard she’s the chief there?

ㄴ For reference, he is the top student in the entertainment department.

ㄴ It’s no joke.

B big. You’re born with it.

ㄴ So, there is a good chance that MJ is also a minor. Because I am young, I feel pressured, so I work without a face.

ㄴ But what about Hyun Yuri? He works under his real name.

ㄴ There will be some differences from person to person. Anyway, there is a high possibility that ⌜Unknown⌟ is MJ.

ㄴ ㅇㅇ I also vote there.

ㄴ Kingly Godsim.

B That’s right.

While listeners in Korea are showing a lot of interest in MJ and middle school composers…

There was an uproar at ⌜Sparkle Music⌟.

A media company even visited the company directly to interview a composer named Hyun Yu-ri.

“······ So Hyun Yuri has been learning music since she was in the first grade of elementary school?”

“yes. That was when I first picked up the guitar. “It’s embarrassing to even call it composition, but there are some songs I wrote back then.”

“if······.”

“Would you like me to stop by? Actually, I was preparing in advance for fear that a story like this would come out. wait a minute!”

“ha ha ha. “That would be great.”

Seeing Hyun Yuri’s very cheerful appearance, people burst into laughter.

After all interview filming was completed.

Hyun Yuri gathered with the ⌜Sparkle Music⌟ trainees and looked at her cell phone.

All trainees are older than Hyun Yuri.

They held their breath for a moment and then…

“and! “It’s up!”

“look! “You said it would be me, right?”

“It also went up quite a bit in the rankings!”

“Congratulations, Yuri!”

Everyone congratulated Hyun Yuri together.

⌜Please Know⌟, which was ranked 97th on the music charts last week.

The score rose to 89th place in just one week!

This was the time when the weekly chart among music charts was being changed.

Hyun Yuri smiled brightly on the outside but thought on the inside.

I am so thankful and grateful to senior Seojin…

I have to repay you somehow.

Hyun Yuri quietly made that decision.

* * *

A cafe in Saebom-dong.

“Is the story a good foundation? “Gifted people keep coming out.”

“Our school is quite prestigious. “It is inevitable that there will be many gifted students.”

“Are you included in that too?”

“Hmm.”

I nodded to Manager Park Hoon’s question.

“You could say that.”

“Tsk tsk. okay. Because you are a ‘real genius’. Rather, Hyun Yuri? If it’s ⌜Sparkle Music⌟… It’s been a while since I came under the ⌜Moonlight⌟ umbrella. “It’s probably been about two years.”

“Is everything okay between ⌜Moonlight⌟ and ⌜Sparkle Music⌟?”

“It’s okay, what’s not okay? ⌜Sparkle Music ⌟ is a company acquired by ⌜Wolgwang⌟. “It’s actually the same company.”

“then······.”

I asked the manager to pay a little more attention to Hyun Yuri.

It’s not about asking for special treatment, it’s about asking for attention.

Manager Park Hoon burst into laughter again.

“They are already asking me to take care of their juniors separately. At this point, you ended up creating your own ‘crew’? Singer Kwon Seol-ha will also be in ⌜Moonlight⌟. There are some singers who will come right away when you call them. For example······.”

Manager Park Hoon mentioned ⌜Let’s Daeseong⌟, ⌜Jang Hyeonpil Band⌟, and singer Jack Walker in that order.

“It’s not that in particular, it’s because Yuri is actually a talented kid. “I couldn’t just leave it there.”

“So ⌜Please understand⌟ and you also gave me feedback?”

“That’s the way it is. If Yuri works on two or three more songs, his skills will improve significantly. “Please keep an eye on me until then.”

“okay. I get it. At least I will see to it that that child’s song is not buried. However, if the song is not good, there is nothing we can do.”

“That’s enough.”

Manager Park Hoon told us that with ⌜Somehow, Bom⌟ becoming a hit again, there will be promotions for that song.

It is scheduled to be used as an insert song in a certain drama.

Stories such as that pop-up ads will appear in music streaming apps.

After listening to the story until the end, I explained why I met the manager today.

The manager asked me right away.

“······Music?”

“yes. It’s an acoustic guitar song. The weather has been particularly nice these days. So I decided to compose a song.”

“How long did it take to compose it?”

“I think it took about a day. Originally, I was going to tell you right away, but I was busy with things in the meantime. “I’m only telling you today.”

“······.”

Manager Park Hoon looked at me and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

“One day. It doesn’t take long to make a song anymore. “Usually you had a hard time for a month.”

“This song is like that. “The feeling at that time was so good.”

“Can I listen?”

“Sure.”

I handed over my entire smartphone and headphones.

This song is played with two guitars, a lead guitar and a rhythm guitar.

The lead guitar is in charge of the melody, and the rhythm guitar is in charge of the accompaniment.

Although it was a temporary recording, the quality of the currently recorded performance was quite good.

This was thanks to purchasing a slightly more expensive microphone with Sunny Delight’s commercial music guarantee.

When spending a lot of money, your instinct is to ask, ‘Can I do this?’ I thought so, but his father strongly recommended him to spend more.

If you spend like me, you’ll end up paying a lot of taxes.

So, around this time, I also changed my laptop to the latest model.

I went to the store in Yongsan that had helped me before.

‘You remembered me. They also gave me a discount.’

So I didn’t know who was benefiting.

Manager Park Hoon listened to the approximately 5-minute piece repeatedly several times.

When about 30 minutes had passed.

Manager Park Hoon put down his wireless headphones and took a deep breath.

“How old are you? Where on earth does this feeling come from? A guitar song that reminds me of the 80s. It’s completely retro, but there are some sophisticated-looking melodies in the middle, so it doesn’t feel old. Haha! “It’s amazing.”

The manager even added an exclamation.

So I asked a question.

“I guess you liked this song.”

“Because I also have nostalgia for the past. ⌜For some reason, isn’t that why spring is coming again? I think ⌜Freesia⌟ is also a song that will be loved for a long time. In particular, I think guitarists will really like it.”

Manager Park Hoon was watching this song precisely.

I had a special attachment to the guitar.

Especially when it comes to the RL-173 guitar on which this piece was recorded.

I combined that with the emotions I felt recently and created a performance piece called ⌜Freesia⌟.

“The quality is still good, but it needs to be recorded properly before it can be released. “Are you going to play?”

“yes. “I think so.”

“time is?”

“I’ll stop by Gangnam for a moment this weekend. I don’t think it will take that long to record.”

“You’re confident.”

“Especially when it comes to guitars.”

“Then what about the piano?”

“Of course, that too.”

“Tsk tsk. okay. I get it. Then, I will contact you directly as soon as the recording studio schedule is set.”

After talking with Manager Park Hoon.

I stopped by a flower shop on a starry night.

however.

“Shh. “I just fell asleep.”

“From here?”

“huh. “I guess they were tired from playing at the playground.”

A long sofa in a flower shop.

Suyeon was in a deep sleep on the sofa, with her mother’s knee bent.

I sigh and exhale deeply.

I told my mother what I discussed with Manager Park Hoon a little while ago.

I think I’ll be releasing a new song.

My mother said she wanted to listen to the song.

My mother quickly closed her eyes after receiving my headphones.

With a smile, he pats Sooyeon’s arm.

I just sat next to him.

⌜Freesia⌟’s melody and the sound of my younger brother’s snoring can be heard slightly through the headphones.

And listening to my mother patting me.

I looked at the flowers in the flower shop.

I felt like I could distinguish the scent of freesia among various flower scents.

“Good.”

I nodded at my mother’s words.

“me too.”

Suyeon woke up after about 15 minutes.

He looked at me in shock and puffed out his cheeks slightly, asking why I didn’t wake him up.

I popped that ball with my finger.

“It was because I was sleeping so hard.”

“tooth. “I wanted to play with my brother a little more…”

“Wouldn’t it be okay if we started playing now? “But what are you going to do for fun?”

“Umm… that······.”

While Suyeon was thinking about it, she started telling Miju Algoju about what happened at kindergarten today.

He and his teacher collected cherry blossom petals from around the kindergarten and made bookmarks with coated paper.

Since they could only make one per person, they gave it to their mother.

Suyeon twisted her hands.

“Sorry. brother. “I still felt like I should give a book-related gift to my mom.”

“are you okay. good job. however······. My father?”

Isn’t the father of our Han family a novelist?

Suyeon understood what I meant and shook her head.

“It was one of the hardest choices of my life.”

“Oh my.”

“Still, I couldn’t help it. Because people always have to make a choice. “I decided to keep it a secret forever from my dad.”

“I see.”

“Whew. “Today was a very difficult day.”

Suyeon sighs.

But in this serious situation.

My mother looked at me intently, showed me the bookmark in her poetry book, and said something childish.

“Seojin.”

“yes?”

“You don’t have anything like this~”

“Yes.”

Thanks to my mother’s unexpected words, I burst out laughing.

“oh! Mom teases her brother! “It’s my first time seeing you!”

“Suyeon~ Mom, you still have some innocence left in you. Is it because Soo-yeon chose her mother? “I suddenly felt more like a child.”

A mother’s playful tone of voice.

Suyeon looked at me in great confusion.

“Oh, brother, you’re not pouting, are you? I’ll give you a better gift next time! really! I’ll give you a bookmark so good it’s nothing! therefore······.”

“I’m fine.”

“Wow! “Today is a very difficult day.”

My family listened to ⌜Freesia⌟ playing softly on the headphones…

Everyone shared what happened today.

I had a normal daily life.

With a small laugh.

* * *

The recording of ⌜Freesia⌟ went smoothly.

Since it was a song that had already been practiced, it didn’t take long as expected.

Because it was a performance song, there was no need to find a singer, and of course, there was no need to create lyrics.

Thanks to this, we were able to quickly release the song.

⌜For some reason, Bom⌟ is now firmly maintaining its 3rd place on the music charts.

⌜Freesia⌟, with MJ registered as a ‘guitar player’ in the music information, has been released to the public.
