The contract renewal with ⌜Moonlight⌟ went through in an instant.

There were no problems with the contract, and in fact, only the contents that were advantageous to me were added, so I didn’t have to worry about it.

Well… if I wanted to receive more money from here, I could have looked into other agencies or labels, but that wasn’t an option for me.

Where else would you find people like Manager Park Hoon or Assistant Manager Charina? Basically good people. These are the people who cater to everything I want.

And above all.

‘People are loyal. loyalty!’

In a word, it was natural.

Manager Park Hoon personally came to Saebom-dong to sign this contract.

“Do you have any more questions?”

“no. In fact, it’s almost the same contract as the last time. “The only thing that has changed is the numbers.”

MJ’s contract is almost the same as last time.

⌜Unknown⌟ A separate contract was not written. Since I had no intention of becoming a singer in earnest, I decided to just sign a simple contract on the fly.

It was easier for me to do it this way.

“It’s been less than a year and things have improved so much. “At that time, your down payment was 500,000 won.”

“It’s all thanks to the manager.”

“Thank you for your words.”

After the first confirmation of the contract is completed.

I decided to write the final contract at my mother’s flower shop. Since I was still a minor, this part was a bit troublesome.

In a moving car.

Suddenly, the thought of school came to mind and I had to ask the manager a question.

“Oh, but what about the work I do at school?”

“huh?”

“This time, I got to compose a song as a performance evaluation. This is a practical composition class. “Is there anything like that…”

“······?”

Manager Park Hoon, who was quietly listening to my explanation, burst into laughter.

“hey. Are we really going to touch something like that? Do whatever you feel like. If you want, you can release the music separately, and it won’t matter whether you make 100 million or 1 billion. Just think of it as separate from the ‘MJ contract.’”

“Yes?”

“okay. By the way, did you receive the proper composition fee for that? “If you think about your price now, it must be a lot of money, right?”

You’re joking for no reason.

So I gave a similar answer.

“Uh… I received it pretty well. “One ice cream and 1/4 bag of cookies.”

“Tsk tsk. “My friends spent some money.”

“I’ll try to take more next time. “I have to raise my own price.”

“okay. “I have to put in a lot of effort.”

As we chatted, we soon arrived at the ⌜Starry Night⌟ flower shop. While Manager Park Hoon was unloading the luggage, he made a sound like “Oops!”

“You run a flower shop… was it a little weird to buy a flower basket as a gift?”

“No way. “Always love the flowers you receive as a gift.”

“Then that’s a relief.”

Manager Park Hoon entered the flower shop holding a flower basket in one hand and a fruit basket in the other.

My mother welcomed Manager Park Hoon with all her heart. And she immediately recognizes the flower basket.

“White dahlia flower. It has the meaning of gratitude. thank you. Actually, we should be more grateful to the manager. “Thank you for taking good care of Seojin.”

“Ugh. you’re welcome. Rather, we, ⌜Wolgwang⌟, owe a lot to Seojin.”

After a brief exchange of greetings, my mother carefully looked at the contract. For almost 30 minutes. She then smiles brightly.

“Please take good care of our Seojin in the future as well.”

“We will always try our best.”

Manager Park Hoon quickly left the flower shop.

My mother looked at me and asked me a question.

“You are always the same person. Be kind. Seojin, you liked ⌜Moonlight⌟ too, right?”

“yes. “I told you yesterday.”

“Uhm. That’s it. however.”

“yes?”

My mother suddenly pressed my cheeks with both palms. He continues her words by twirling her hand.

“You can do this on your own. When did it get so big? “Without my permission?”

“······.”

“Why do you look so disabled? “My son.”

“······ Isn’t that a good thing?”

“therefore. “To me, you still look young.”

“I’m not that young.”

“oh my. “So, are you at least a high school student?”

“······.”

A person I cannot defeat with words.

My mother smiled softly and then released me.

The flower shop closed a little early today. I went out on a date alone with my mother after a long time. Su-yeon was scheduled to join us later, as her father had decided to pick her up in person.

I never went anywhere far away with my mother.

I walked around the neighborhood near my house and looked at the flowers that had bloomed new this year. Even the flowers that barely lifted their heads from the cracks in the cement all had names. My mother explained those flowers to me one by one.

He seemed to be in a good mood and recited a poem. Mother’s own poem. As I recall, it was a poem that was included in a poetry collection you published about two years ago. Although he ran a flower shop, he did not give up his literary activities.

I thought that maybe the reason I was able to write lyrics so well was because my parents had a big influence on me.

My mother and I went to a cafe a little outside of Saebom-dong. My mother ordered iced Americano and I ordered strawberry banana juice.

I sat at a table outside a cafe with a gentle breeze blowing and looked around the neighborhood. A few cats are chatting among themselves. A boy around Suyeon’s age picks up a cherry blossom petal from the wall and looks at it closely.

I felt very at ease.

I had a story to tell my mother.

It was a story about money that didn’t seem appropriate at this moment. I took out a file from my bag and put it on the table.

“What is this?”

“This is the money I’ve earned so far.”

“······ huh?”

“⌜Wolgwang⌟ I spoke to the person in charge of taxation and separated in advance the taxes expected to be paid in the future. When I saw it, the money I received in advance during the ⌜TEST⌟ was quickly repaid. “I think the down payment and copyright fees I will receive this time together will be quite a lot.”

“······.”

In addition, ⌜somehow, the copyright fees for Spring⌟ were also settled to some extent in advance. This is also an advance payment, but Manager Park Hoon took care of it.

So, a lump sum of money was in my bank account.

My mother seemed a little embarrassed, so I continued talking.

“We have a lease on our house. My mother’s flower shop also has a loan. “I thought it would be right to pay off the debt first.”

It was a story that was a bit burdensome to tell my father. My father, who had a surprisingly strong side, would have refused this money outright. So he spoke to his mother first.

and.

“Mom… I want Seojin to spend the money. You don’t have to do this. “Mom is capable too.”

My mother was not much different from my father.

“i know. Your mother is a wonderful person. You have the ability. Still, I think this is correct. And I have no use for this much money. “It would be a waste to leave it alone.”

“Even if it’s just something Seojin wants to buy…”

“I’m already doing that. I’m buying as much as I want to eat. You also bought a synthesizer. So, I hope you just accept it.”

“······.”

I had to persuade him for quite some time.

Until the drink runs out and all the water droplets in the cup dry up.

Only then did my mother stroke my head.

“······ When did you grow up like this? “I wanted you to stay in my arms a little longer.”

“It’s still like that now.”

“······ okay. Because mom is always on your side. “Never forget her.”

“of course.”

My mother quietly hugs me.

I felt warmth in his arms for a moment.

After a while, we moved to where my father and Suyeon were.

“Oppaaa!”

Suyeon was always bright.

Chatter chatter.

Han Su-yeon was excited because today was the day she went out with her family.

I went to a family restaurant with my family.

We ordered steak, pork ribs, pasta, and Cajun salad and shared them. I also didn’t forget to order and eat the free bread several times.

I also bought Suyeon a few books. I thought he was going to spend the 10,000 won I gave him last time, but he had no idea!

In addition, I also picked out a set of spring clothes for going out.

Thanks to this, Sooyeon Han became a little more excited.

“how is it? how is it?”

“matches well.”

“really? really?”

“Then~ It’s true.”

I also bought one set of clothes for my father and mother.

A slightly better brand.

At first, my father rejected the clothes, saying they were expensive.

However, because my mother, I, and Suyeon worked together, we had no choice but to wear a suit.

The reason I do music is because I enjoy music.

There were no lies here.

As a result, money is made.

This was lucky.

It was a time when money was needed to make music, but I was already making more than that.

‘I was lucky enough to graduate at the top of the class and receive a scholarship…’

I didn’t have a specific goal in mind to make money.

Rather, he was a person whose purpose was to make music.

Is there any special reason for me to make money?

If only I could spend money on something like this where I could have a fun day with my family…

That was the best reason I made money.

“brother! “Today was so so so much fun!”

“I’m glad. “I also had fun thanks to Sooyeon.”

“Hi-Hi. thank you! After all, oppa is the best!”

Today was a really great day,

Today alone was enough.

* * *

Saturday morning.

“hmm.”

“Hmm.”

Suyeon follows me and makes a similar sound.

I glanced at him and saw that he had a very serious expression.

“Suyeon, are you sure you’ll be okay?”

“of course.”

“Isn’t it burdensome?”

“never.”

‘As expected, my little brother.’

Once a decision is made, it is never changed.

The place Suyeon and I have been going since Saturday morning was none other than Seolhwa Yejung.

A meeting for composition practical performance evaluation and team play.

Originally, I was planning to go alone, but circumstances did not allow it.

My mother went to the flower complex today to work at a flower shop, and the publishing company where my father works was a bit hectic…

I just brought it out.

Fortunately, my friends agreed to my younger brother coming with me.

It may have been because Su-yeon was good at appealing to others as a very well-behaved child, but Baek So-yeon, the vice-president of Class A, also showed great interest.

‘me! Kids love it so much! don’t worry! ‘I can take care of everything!’

Shin Joo-won didn’t seem to mind too much.

Thanks to this, we were going together to the folk tale rite school for Suyeon’s early education(?).

Wouldn’t it be better to start looking at schools like this from a young age so that your dreams can grow?

Well… as an older brother, I had some thoughts like that.

Seolwha Yejung is not closed even on weekends.

For students practicing, they could use it as they pleased until 6 p.m.

It can be seen that the school is being considerate so that students do not have to practice due to personal circumstances.

“and! “Oppa, there are so many cherry blossoms here!”

Suyeon’s eyes lit up.

“Isn’t the road to school pretty?”

“huh! “It seems like it’s on a whole different level from the road in front of the kindergarten!”

“What’s on that road from the kindergarten?”

“There is a chicken restaurant. “It smells delicious.”

“······ I see.”

As we walked and talked, we soon arrived at the front gate of the school.

Some of the students gathered there looked at my brother and sister.

me once.

Suyeon once.

I purposely wore my school uniform today, so my identity will not be questioned.

they······.

“Who is that little girl? “It’s so cute!”

“Look at what you’re wearing! Pink dress! “It’s awesome!”

“Off! Look at those poopy eyes! “Does it look like a doll?”

“But who is that boy? Does it look familiar?”

“ah! Him? “You’re a senior in the music department.”

“Then is that little girl your younger brother? “Is he a child actor or something?”

“Maybe so?”

When they saw Suyeon, they started whispering among themselves.

But I don’t know why…

It felt like my shoulders were shrugging for no reason.

‘Keuhum!’

Sooyeon gently pulled my arm and whispered softly to me.

“brother.”

“huh.”

“I guess your eyes were accurate as expected. Can you immediately recognize the clothes your brother bought you? “As expected, pink was perfect!”

I laughed and patted Sooyeon’s head once.

We walked straight across the Seolwha Yejung playground.

It seemed like quite a few students showed up today as well, and the soft sounds of musical instruments could be heard from all over the place.

like that.

A small child standing in front of the first floor of the main building with both hands confidently placed on his hips.

“Ahem. So this is the school your brother goes to? It will be fun to watch today. ah! Of course, I’ll stay calm, so don’t worry. “Because your work always comes first.”

Han Su-yeon, 6 years old.

Enter Seolhwa Yejung!
