⌜Magic Fog⌟.

Original title ⌜Enchanted Mist⌟.

The song was delivered to all the people it was meant to be delivered to.

And most of those people were members of organizations located overseas.

“I cried for a long time when I heard that music. “It was touching to know that the child of hope has not forgotten us.”

“I’m really thankful for just this.”

“I could feel all of that child’s emotions through the music. “I’m sure he’ll become a great musician in the future.”

“i think so too.”

“As the saying goes, that child always gives us hope.”

“I’m thankful.”

However, the music did not have a huge impact overseas.

This is because the advertisement made with the music in question was only aired in Korea, and the number of people who received the email was very limited.

Still, thanks to this rumor, the news was briefly reported in the media.

The child of hope is living well in Korea,

The child has not forgotten the help of the rescue team.

To this extent.

Meanwhile, in South Korea, the atmosphere was slightly different.

As the public service announcement began to become known to people through various media, a new trend began to be created.

People who had experience receiving help from rescue teams in the past began to speak out one by one.

ㄴ I am writing a letter like this to the rescue workers who performed CPR on my grandfather when he collapsed. I wasn’t in a hurry at the time so I couldn’t ask for his name, but he was from Gwanak-gu, Seoul…

ㄴ My child has been in a car accident. When I received that call, I thought the sky was falling. At that time, I couldn’t even walk properly. Fortunately, I am walking well now. It’s already been 3 years since he said he would contact me while watching the child grow up…

ㄴ I lost everything when a fire broke out in the factory I had devoted my entire life to building. As I sat on the floor feeling empty, I still remember the can of coffee the firefighter gave me. Firefighter Park Soo-young. That cup of coffee at that time made me who I am today. I am living well. thank you

There are times in people’s lives when they receive help.

However, the moment of receiving help from someone is often that person’s ‘crisis’.

That’s why I don’t have time to look around.

At the time, I was anxious just to take care of myself.

By the time I had some free time, too much time had passed.

People were supposed to live their lives a little indifferently.

It wasn’t that those people were bad.

However, there was just a little bit of disappointment left.

However, if some small opportunity arises, people often gain the courage to take action.

People saw a certain advertisement, listened to the music contained in the advertisement, and looked back on their past.

And then I began to express my sincere gratitude.

Although the heroes did not expect anything in return, they were smiling at the countless thanks they received from people.

“That old man is alive and well. “My hobby is playing baduk with my grandchild these days.”

“Let’s all eat pizza and work! “That child’s mother gave our fire department a big shot!”

“Here’s a flower basket too. There was also a gift of 1,000 won… It’s a gift sent to me by the child I saved last time. They told me to buy something delicious to eat. really······.”

Some may say it’s not a big deal, but for others, it’s given them things that make their lives worthwhile.

A small change in a difficult daily life.

It all started with one public service announcement.

Every year around this time, the Public Service Advertising Association holds a contest.

Naturally, award winners come out every year and commercials air every year.

However, this was the first time in over a dozen years that an advertisement had such an impact and resonated with society as this year.

“The number of views on NewTube for this public service advertisement has already exceeded twice that of last year. If this trend continues, it will be easy to increase 3 or 4 times.”

“Why does it seem like there are more views of the Gold Award than the Grand Prize this year?”

“Iknow, right. “It’s amazing the power of music.”

Public Service Advertising Association Media Team 2.

The conductor chuckled at the assistant manager’s words.

“I guess people felt the sincerity whether they knew it or not. “After knowing this music, I found out that it was that child’s story.”

“However, it is surprising that they were able to express it properly. “With only about a minute of music.”

The conductor nodded.

Just because someone has experienced a breakup doesn’t mean everyone can write a breakup song well.

Even if they had experienced such an accident, there was no way that everyone would be able to make such a song well.

‘Then we can say that the children’s abilities and talents are outstanding. You must have put a lot of effort into making the song. Practice too.’

This was actually confirmed once again at the commercial filming site.

“Especially at that time, everyone at the scene was very surprised. “I played the piano with my eyes closed… and I thought it was some kind of virtuoso pianist playing?”

“It was real at that moment. “I dare say no one could have played like that.”

So, I felt that it was disappointing.

What if this song was submitted to a major company’s contest?

It may have been a huge commercial success.

‘It must have been used in movies, animations, dramas… somewhere.’

But now this music was tied to ‘public interest’.

Over time, the rights to use the music will return to the children, but that time may have already passed.

Children who need to show off their talents to the fullest.

I was a little disappointed that it seemed limited.

Actually, the kid seemed to like it because he was able to deliver his music overseas and make a great public service announcement.

‘I guess you could say he has the innocence of a child. Thanks to that, my heart became warmer for the first time in a long time.’

Music that moves people’s hearts.

It seemed like it had been quite a while since I had heard music like that.

* * *

Replies to the emails I sent began to arrive one by one.

The first mate who found me on the container ship said that it was passing through the Sea of ​​Okhotsk.

Helicopter pilots had a hard time extinguishing forest fires not long ago.

Teacher Rong replied that he had listened to my music and told me to become a great musician.

Sister Lin took a picture with the nurses on the 9th floor ward and sent it to me. She is smiling brightly in the photo.

‘Everyone is still the same.’

and.

I also heard a story on the radio.

Baek So-yeon was the first to hear the story. He sent me over 20 KakaoTalk messages asking me to hear his story.

[Baek So-yeon: Tune in to 107.7 FM now!]

[Baek So-yeon: You have to listen now! Why doesn’t 1 disappear?]

[Baek So-yeon: Are you sleeping?]

[Baek So-yeon: Even if you sleep, listen to it and sleep!]

[Baek So-yeon: No! It’s over!]

[me : ??? What’s the fuss?]

Thanks to this, I was able to hear the story at least through a green room.

The story of a high school student whose father is a firefighter.

My father, who had been working in the field until recently, recently switched to an internal job.

The reason is because my lungs are not in good condition.

He was a person who was upset because of his cough that was getting worse day by day, but I saw him crying for the first time after watching an advertisement.

That what you’ve done your whole life is not wrong,

So I’m satisfied with just that.

The storyteller also cried after hearing his father’s words.

It was an advertisement that could have just passed by, but I sent the story to the radio after seeing my father gain strength from it.

It wasn’t that this song topped the music charts, nor that this advertising video ⌜somehow, without knowing, surpassed ⌟Bom⌟’s number of views on NewTube.

Every time I come across these stories one by one, my heart becomes warmer than ever.

I printed out a few photos from the emails I received and placed them in front of my desk. I also printed out a few short stories.

These were the results created with this music.

At that time, Suyeon, who was watching TV in the living room, urgently looks for me. I think I’ve already been called 3 times today, but I guess I’m getting tired of it.

“brother! “Sit here for a moment!”

“also?”

“hurry!”

Suyeon was watching a public service announcement on TV and looked at my hands. And she kneads my hand with her small hand.

“also! I think it’s the hand in the ad. “They look the same!”

“Then I guess it changed in a day or two?”

Suyeon hears my joke and laughs.

“That won’t happen. And if the hand model changes, I think I will be able to recognize it right away.”

“really?”

“huh! Who else but I would recognize the shape of your hands? “I’m your brother’s younger brother?”

Soo-yeon tells her to take as many tests as she wants.

I thought there was no need to do that, so I patted her head once.

“Hi-Hi. “Now I can guess even with my eyes closed.”

“Then we should do this more often.”

“Hmm! Well… if you want it. “I’m fine, though.”

Suyeon secretly lies down using my leg as a pillow. Thanks to that, I watched TV with Suyeon for a while while she stroked his head.

Of course, it didn’t take that long for Suyeon to fall asleep.

“Koooooooo.”

I turned down the TV volume for fear that Sooyeon would wake up, and kept my posture the same.

While changing channels on TV, I came across a public service announcement several more times.

People were understanding my music, and that was leading to good results.

Thanks to my friends, I was able to face the music I brought out without any sadness.

This alone was enough for me.

After a while, my parents returned home.

Su-yeon, who heard the sound of the door lock, rubs her eyes and wakes up… and falls into my arms. Looks like you’re still sleepy. I patted Sooyeon on the back several times.

My mother, who came home and smiled at my siblings, immediately scolded Suyeon and took her away.

“Ah. mom! “Just one more minute!”

“Suyeon, you have to wake up before you can eat. And it must be difficult for you too.”

“I’m fine.”

“Seojin, you too, don’t criticize Suyeon too much.”

“It wasn’t that bad. Right, Suyeon?”

“Uhm. “I think you’re right, too.”

Sooyeon gives me a little wink without her mother knowing.

“What? “Are you saying you’re going to leave Mom alone and just be on the same side with her siblings?”

“no way. “No way.”

“oh? Then, should I take Mom’s side? Or me, my brother, my mom and the three of us…”

“Dad is here too…”

I patted my father’s arm.

After a while, I had dinner with my family.

Our main topic of conversation was about this public service announcement.

A somewhat surprising story I heard from my mother was that sales at the flower shop increased slightly.

He said that the number of people who want to say thank you has actually increased.

“Thanks to my son, mom benefited?”

“I didn’t even think about that.”

“I guess something like this will happen because my son is doing something cool. Mom is happy for no reason.”

My mother patted my head as if she still thought of me as a child.

He was a little embarrassed and scratched his head for a moment before bursting into laughter again.

Working on this song had an important meaning for me personally.

⌜Magic Fog⌟ seemed to have achieved great success in its own right.

* * *

“Wham! “The prize money has arrived!”

“one million won! “It’s a little short because of taxes, but if you round it up, it’s 1 million won!”

On the other hand, there were people who were very happy with only the prize money (1/3) of this contest…

“What should we do with this?”

“First of all, it’s sushi. “Let’s go to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant.”

“What next?”

“Whew. “Can I tell you?”

“of course.”

“You’re buying three beaded ice creams at once. And you don’t eat it with a spoon… you just shove it into your mouth.”

“It’s very bad. “Isn’t this almost the end of luxury?”

“It feels thrilling just to imagine it.”

“I have no choice but to admit it.”

Baek So-yeon and Shin Joo-won were very excited.

‘They’re still children.’

and.

Before even spending that money on anything.

We heard one more piece of news.

“The midterm exam report card came out today. Let’s all check our rankings and work harder next time. Understand?”

I had a rough idea of ​​the grades thanks to the provisional grades, but seeing them in person was something new.

Oh Beom-jun, who must have heard the rumor, took a look at my report card and left, saying, “Don’t cheat again… again!”

Shin Joo-won looks at me blankly, saying, “Didn’t I study similarly to you?”

at that time.

“Seojin, did you do well on the test this time?”

Lee Ha-eun approached me cautiously, and I pointed out the report card on the desk to her.

Lee Ha-eun then proudly shows her report card. He immediately smiles brightly.

“Seojin, you are first in the piano department! I’m in second place! Beomjun Oh came in 3rd place!”

“In the end, it turned around. Good job.”

“Kyaaaaaa! The effort was worth it! “There was one!”

Lee Ha-eun jumping up and down in place.

He was very excited.

That day, we bought and ate three pieces of beaded ice cream per person.

For your information, there was no need for a spoon.
