Seo Hoyun.
While anxiously looking at Seong Jiwon, I realized one beat late that Lim Hyunsoo was gesturing at me. I obediently went over and sat down, and she whispered to me.
Hey, your members are better than I thought. Theyre nice kids.
Theyre not bad.
Yeah, I thought theyd all be arrogant like you.
Thats a compliment, right, Ms. Composer?
Of course, this cute and bratty kid here.
Lim Hyunsoo continued to hum happily.
It feels fresh after a long time. Its a bit rough and ready since its rushed Ive always been used to the big idols, but a newly formed group with a fighting spirit like this is fun for me too.
I raised my chin and looked at Lim Hyunsoo.
Ms. Composer, do you know what it means when someone is wishy-washy?
You mean theyre nice?
Of course, you have no idea how much I like you, Ms. Composer.
Thank you very much.
Lim Hyunsoo seemed thrilled despite the issue of plagiarism and piracy, perhaps thinking of her heyday.
Seong Jiwon was standing stiffly in front of the pop filter. Lim Hyunsoo turned on the microphone that would transmit to the recording studio.
Main vocal, are you ready?
Yes! Im ready.
Seong Jiwon nodded his head. The members practicing their parts frantically looked up all at once.
The beat flowed, and Seong Jiwon steadied his breathing. His eyes flickered anxiously. Lim Hyunsoo murmured.
I hope he does well.
I smirked.
Seong Jiwon? Hope he does well?
Give me, Give me, Give me Second Chance.
The most useless thing to worry about was celebrities in the world.
Seong Jiwons voice echoed throughout the recording studio. Lim Hyunsoo lowered her gaze and closed her mouth.
Seong Jiwons tension gradually eased as the song progressed, and his immersion in the song increased.
Say it once more, its the beginning for us,
I will come back every time,
Dont be afraid of this strange feeling.
Ah, Seong Jiwons high note was so comfortable to listen to.
Comfortable.
I relaxed on the back of my chair.
Are you okay?
After he finished his part, Seong Jiwoon kept an eye on Lim Hyunsoo, who turned the microphone towards him.
Seong Jiwon.
Yes, yes?
How did it sound to you?
Lim Hyunsoo asked in a hushed voice. Seong Jiwons pupils swirled like waves on a stormy day after hearing those words.
UmI think my pitch was okay.
Pitch? Thats not the problem right now.
Lim Hyunsoo laughed.
Huk! Jeong Dajun gasped for air. Kim Seonghyeon also tensed up.
Anyway, shes good at putting people on edge. Theres a reason shes popular as an audition program judge.
Your voice is pretty good, isnt it?
T-thank you!
Why did you just show up now? Youre doing well. Your ending was clean too Have you been a trainee for a long time?
Uh Ive been training for 7 years.
No wonder I could tell. Dont just be nervous. Sometimes being too nervous can affect your tone.
Oh, yes
Despite the warning not to be nervous, Seong Jiwon became even more nervous.
Huh?
Lim Hyeonsu either didnt notice or ignored it and directed Seong Jiwon a few more times to get him to come out. Even after leaving the recording studio, Seong Jiwon was still nervous, and his body shook slightly.
Um, his condition is a bit
Well, itll be fine if you do better next time. Lets move on to the next rap.
Yes! Kang Ichae, youre up for recording!
Kang Ichae went in, and Lim Hyeonsu continued to listen, assessing that he was less good than Seong Jiwon but not bad.
Kim Seonghyeon and Jeong Dajun went in one after another.
Kang Ichae, please pay more attention to your pronunciation. You spit the words out well, but
Mr. Kim has a weak high note, but your voice is good.
Jeong Dajun Your voice is unique and attractive. Not bad. But you need more practice.
As Lim Hyeonsu directed them step-by-step, the recording progressed smoothly.
At the same time, I re-evaluated the members. They may lack star power, but their skills were mostly good. Their personalities werent bad either, to be honest Well, thats not something I really know about.
I was sipping quietly on the smoothie the staff had brought me when Jeong Dajun finished recording and came out of the booth.
Lim Hyeonsu turned around and smiled at me.
Its good.
It turned out much better than I thought. Its good.
Between members sighing in relief, Lim Hyunsoo nodded with satisfaction and murmured quietly.
Honestly, its better than the White Cherry song Im working on now.
Wow, thats an honor!
Thank you very much, Ms. Composer!
Hahaha, praise me, my children.
Shes just being a sore loser
Objectively, theres nothing better than a properly paid White Cherry song.
Although she was just being a sore loser, the members bowed as if they were going to do a ceremony and went along with it.
Nevertheless, it was a better song than White Cherry if it suited ones taste. The lyrics were not bad, so interpreting them well in the music video will be good.
Anyway, good job, guys. If theres anything you dont like, well sing it again. Go now. Im busy.
Yes! Thank you!
Oh, Seo Hoyun. Come over here for a sec.
Why?
As I obediently approached after being called, Lim Hyunsoo asked me quietly.
Did you threaten Joo Woosung?
It looked like Joo Woosung was a rising star. Lim Hyunsu burst into a hollow laugh, and I didnt bother to deny it.
Are you really a con artist?
Why do you say that? I just wanted to try my best.
If you try too hard, you might end up being completely the opposite.
Is that all you wanted to say?
Oh, wait a minute.
I shrugged my shoulders. I was about to leave if she continued to talk nonsense, but Lim Hyunsu asked me a question.
I heard the kids talking earlier, saying you and Director Jeong are filming the music video together?
Oh Yes, thats right.
Director Jeong. In fact, I didnt know much about music videos, so I didnt know the person at all.
After roughly looking it up, I discovered he specialized in filming idol music videos. But I wondered why she brought him up.
I know him. He takes music videos very casually and just takes the money, but he should be filming them beautifully.
Isnt that you?
Do you want to die?
This was Lim Hyunsu talking. They said people talk amongst themselves.
As I was contemplating, Lim Hyunsu lightly pushed my forehead with her palm.
I already told him to take good care of you guys.
This was unexpected. Lim Hyeonsu was helping us without me even making a threat.
Whats her intention?
I raised my eyebrows and observed Lim Hyeonsus pouting expression. However, Lim Hyeonsu just clicked her tongue when she saw me like that.
When was the last time you owed someone a big favor? Why cant you trust people? Well, I guess its a good habit in the entertainment industry.
I dont know why Ms. Composer is being nice to us. I havent done anything good.
When I honestly expressed my thoughts, Lim Hyeonsu burst out laughing.
Its just a crazy whim. Lets just follow along with a madmans ups and downs.
Its fun, isnt it? It must feel rewarding to see a group of nobodies like you get talent donations.
Ding!
[Relationship with Lim Hyeonsu is friendly.
Completed First Recording quest.
300 points will be awarded.]
It was unexpected kindness and luck.
I nodded my head lightly. Lim Hyeonsu, despite being unpredictable and cool, had no hard feelings, which was good.
Thank you.
Seo Hoyun, be good to me.
Ill bring some delicious sake next time.
Lim Hyeonsu held out her index finger to me. At that moment, laughter spread uncontrollably.
I shrugged and joined the members waiting outside. It seemed like a heartwarming ending, but the faces of the members outside were bruised.
Did I really record with Blue Tiger?
Is this a dream? Pinch my cheek.
Hyung, I really can hit the notes.
Kang Ichae clenched a fist, and Kim Seonghyeon quickly stepped back. There was a shadow on Seong Jiwons face.
I nudged them and urged, Lets go practice.
We still had a long way to go.
