Chapter 104 – This Isn’t It…
Late that evening.
Im Ha-eun was alone in the living room, listening to the song on her cell phone and scribbling something on her notebook.
“Aren’t you sleeping?”
Shin So-ye, who saw this, clung to Lim Ha-eun’s back with curiosity.
“What are you working so hard on?”
I had never seen her sister study like this while writing something in her notebook.
“Ready for a new song.”
“Oh, that second character song?”
“Yes.”
“Is there anything you can prepare for that?”
“Yes. A proper impression.”
“?”
Shin So-ye doesn’t understand what you’re saying.
However, Im Ha-eun was eager to scribble down her feelings in her notebook with a rather serious attitude.
It wouldn’t be right for a person to keep asking questions when she was so focused, so she didn’t ask any more questions.
“Rest in moderation. I need to get rid of travel fatigue… I’ll sleep first.”
“Yes, good night sister.”
After her words, Shin So-ye went to her room, and Ha-eun Lim continued to memorize her lyrics and organize her feelings in detail.
She is determined to give Cheonbom a shot.
***
“Now, here.”
The next morning, Cheonbom’s recording studio.
As soon as Lim Ha-eun arrived, she handed her paper to Cheon Bom with a confident expression.
It was the feeling I had been diligently writing down last night.
“Hmm…”
However, Cheonbom took a quick look at it and immediately threw it on her desk.
“Hey, look closely!”
“I saw you.”
“Look at what you see!”
“More than that, it goes into adjustment work.”
“My impressions are important! I’ll have to check them…”
“It’s okay, because I already understood it to some extent when I listened to it yesterday. Besides, yesterday’s impressions are no longer necessary.”
“What?”
With those words, Cheonbom immediately starts playing the keyboard.
As she lightly hummed her melody, a song quite different from yesterday came out.
“How is it? It’s completely different from yesterday, isn’t it?”
“What, what… If you’re going to do this, why did you go through so much trouble yesterday…?”
“Isn’t it the result of working hard yesterday? Thanks to that, a better version came out.”
Hearing that, Im Ha-eun immediately opened her mouth, but she didn’t say anything.
I wanted to say something, but as Bom Cheon said, this new demo today was much better than yesterday.
If you made me suffer so much yesterday to make a better version of today, what can I say about it.
Of course, that didn’t make the feelings go away.
“If this is the case… Why are you asking me to sort it out…”
Cheon Bom applauded Haeun Cheon with a cool expression at Im Haeun, who trembled and spat out a single word.
“Come on, pay attention. We have to work hard on re-adjustment today. If you had done better yesterday, the good demo would have come out sooner, but time is running out.”
No, blame me again?
“Mr. Haeun Im, do you have any complaints?”
“Yeah…!”
“There’s no way that’s possible, right? Everything I’m doing right now is to get this song done well, and Im Ha-eun can’t be dissatisfied.”
It was as Cheonbom said.
This new song was for an advertisement that Ha-eun Lim would shoot, so if a song that was perfect for Ha-eun Lim came out well, Ha-eun Lim would benefit the most.
“Rather, Im Ha-eun should work the hardest, right?”
“Right.”
“Also, continuing to waste time on demo work is also Haeun Lim’s loss, right?”
“Yes.”
“In the end, Ha-eun Lim has to do well, and if Ha-eun Lim does well, everything will work out. Am I right?”
“…That’s right.”
Uh, after hearing it, it seems like it was all my fault.
“Okay, then let’s start working right away. Take care of your expression.”
“Uh, sorry…”
Cheon Bom smiled slightly at Im Ha-eun’s apology and started playing the keyboard again.
That laugh was a bit annoying, but Im Ha-eun, who had already been persuaded (?), Didn’t say much and just watched the demo.
That’s how the work time started like yesterday.
***
“Did you do a good job?”
“…Fuck.”
When I ask Ha-eun, who gets in the car, a fresh curse word comes back.
What happened in the last 4 hours, so I started cursing.
Maybe, no, did the two of them fight?
“What happened?”
“No, listen. Bom Cheon said he was fucking with her demo today.”
Burrung.
As I started the car, I heard Ha-eun’s complaint.
The story was long with a lot of cursing and complaining, but the content was simple.
“…After all, today’s demo work also took a lot of work.
“…”
Ha-eun crosses her arms without answering as if she doesn’t like my tidying up.
“Then it’s not bullying, it’s just… Aren’t you working hard?”
“Anyway, it’s too much.”
“Don’t be too angry, think positively.”
I patted Ha-eun hard.
“If this new song is chosen well, it’s all to your advantage, so it’s like paying the price in advance.”
“Ah, I said that year too! It’s an important job for me anyway, so everything I do now is for me and it’s my responsibility!”
Ha-eun, who even mimics her vocal cords.
“Honestly, isn’t that just talking like that?”
“Demo version, is it getting better as you work on it?”
“…Yeah. Certainly…It got better.”
“Then it works just fine.”
“Ughgguggguk…”
Ha-eun growled like a dog, perhaps because she was frustrated.
“If I’m really messing with you, then you can brush it off.”
“That’s… That’s right.”
“No matter what that person does, you’re on top of it. The song is for you, and it’s him who asked us to work together, and personally… As well.”
“Ummm…”
“So take your time. He’s someone who won’t be able to defeat you no matter what.”
“…Haaaaa, that’s right.”
Ha-eun let out a breath as if she were letting out her emotions at my words.
Yes, if you are aware that you are Wei, that annoying and stuffy thing will be a little less.
Kiki-Ik, Tak.
As I parked the car in the parking lot and got out, Ha-eun patted me on the back this time.
“Next time, I’ll go in and see if Cheonbom is working properly.”
“Yes…”
Ha-eun also answered in a calm voice, as if she had calmed down.
“Oh, you’re kind, our Ha-eun, oh-gu-gu-gu.”
“No, don’t treat me like a kid all of a sudden!”
“Kuh-kuh-kuh, okay, okay. Go to the practice room, have lunch with Soye, and get ready to go out together. We’ll leave in 10 minutes.”
“Okay… Huh? But did you have a schedule for your sister’s afternoon today?”
“It looks like you.”
“Huh? Same thing?”
“You’re going to appear as a supporting character in a web drama you’re filming, Soyega.”
“That’s it, the last heroine to come in the second half! The director said he was contemplating whether or not to add a new character…!”
“Yeah. I persuaded you while you were having a hard time. It would look better if you and Soye built it together.”
The photo taken in Japan, and the ripple effect, I tried to do business, and it came over right away.
“Oh, Yaya, you did a great job!”
Ha-eun looked genuinely happy and praised me.
Seeing her as happy as her work makes me happy.
“Besides that, I think Soye will get a drama offer right now. With you.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. It’s a drama that will be filmed worldwide in the first place, so Yemyeon and you are perfect for the image and they send a pretty strong love call saying that it will be easy to export to Japan. It’s a sister role in the lead role… I gave the synopsis to Soye, so go get it.”
“Wait, then it’s not webd…”
“It’s streaming. Supported by ‘Amazonia Prime Video’.”
“…Wow.”
Dramas produced with the support of streaming are a market that is incomparably larger than web dramas.
From the beginning, it is produced targeting the whole world, and it is a golden market that attracts attention and production costs that are dozens of times greater, let alone several times.
“That’s… A big deal, right?”
He seems to be dumbfounded when he suddenly hears something big.
I understand the heart that bothers to check things that are so obvious.
I felt the same way when I checked the offers from last night.
“Puhaha, of course it’s a big deal. Besides this, there are a lot of drama offers from you and Soye. Maybe it’s because I’ve been able to verify my acting skills while filming for a web drama.”
“I can’t believe it because I only heard it in words… Wait, just me and Soye unnie? Minji?”
Ha-eun asked me with a worried look.
But you don’t have to.
“Minji already has work to do. It’s just that, unlike the two of them, he didn’t get a drama offer.”
“Then what did Minji come in?”
“She’s trying to… Rather than come in.”
“Sun?”
I said to Ha-eun who tilted her head.
“You’ll know when you see it.”
***
That evening, on the way home with the kids.
“Minji, you said you were cleaning your room… In fact, she did a remodel.”
“Yes?”
Minji tilts her head at my sudden announcement.
“You said we should start streaming games today, right? I completely changed the style of the room to match that. It fits the feeling of being an idol gamer.”
“Gamer… I feel like… ?”
“Yes.”
When I nodded her head, Minji’s eyes widened.
“Wow…”
“Everyone will be surprised when they see Minji’s room.”
“Is the interior done in one day?”
“It’s not the interior, I just decorated it moderately. I left the wallpaper as it is and added decorations to the lighting and walls to change the feel… Hey, it’s really amazing that the vendors these days change the room like that in a day and a half. Oh, don’t worry. I only tidied up Minji’s room, and I supervised her while she was working.”
“Then what…”
“I’m very curious how it was decorated.”
Soon we arrived in front of the dorm and stopped the car, and Minji was the first to jump out.
When I was told to stream, I liked it, and the room was decorated accordingly.
I’m happy to think of Minji who would be happy to see it.
“Come on, don’t be in too much of a hurry, but you should still have the taste of revealing it.”
Minji, who was rushing along with Soye, stepped forward.
After opening the door and entering together, I stood in front of the closed door of Minji’s room, and Minji looked at me with brighter eyes.
It’s so good to see that the anticipation is getting bigger and bigger.
“Well, then…”
“Doo-gu-du-du-du-gu.”
“What kind of interior broadcast are you two doing?”
“You have to put in the chuimsae~”
“I’m going to reveal~ It’s calm~”
A door that opens with my words.
“Wow~”
“What… This is Minji’s room… ?”
So-ye admired and Ha-eun surprised.
It was not unreasonable for Haeun to be surprised.
It was because the clothes were scattered all over the room, giving off a unique body odor, and Minji’s room, which had been dark like a child of darkness, had become very bright.
“It turned pink.”
“Right.”
A pink wall band that matches the white wallpaper.
A desk and chair matched in pink to suit him, and a monitor there.
Of course, the bed cover is pink, and the newly added wardrobe is also pink.
It felt like a perfect gaming room for broadcasting of ‘idol’.
“The room is cute!”
Soye clapped for joy and enjoyed it, and Haeun also smiled awkwardly and looked around the room as if having fun.
“…”
However, Minji had a completely different expression from her two older sisters.
“Minji, don’t you like something?”
“This… This…”
After stuttering her words, Min-ji puts on a lost expression.
“This is not… A gamer’s room… No no…”
“Yes?”
“Who is in this room… I’m playing a game… It’s full of pink…”
“Why? Are you okay?”
At Soye’s words, Minji cried and shook her head.
“No… Anyone can see this… It’s just kids pretending… It’s a clumsy room… What is this… A gamer’s room is a bit darker… Decorated only with LEDs… Professionally…”
Min-ji, who had been banging around the room and protesting against it, clung to me for the last time.
Bite… It doesn’t grab my clothes, but it grabs my clothes and even trembles.
“I heard it’s a gamer’s room…!”
“Yeah, it’s a gamer’s room.”
“This is Moose…”
“A gamer room suitable for an ‘idol’. Right?”
“Neuuuuu…”
In the end, Minji let out a sad scream and sat down on the spot.
