Chapter 391 – One Step (4)
Han Soo-ah played the role of a bridge between the three by making use of her special skills.
“Come to think of it, all the older sisters do music, right? Kahi unnie is a composer, Seulgi unnie is a musician, and Yulie is a singer! Besides, all three of them are really good!”
“Hehe, thank you.”
“You shrug your shoulders when a famous YouTuber compliments you?”
At the sudden praise, Min Ga-hee was shy but smiled happily, and Yoon Seul-gi, who was relatively quick-witted, raised the corner of her mouth to match the rhythm.
On the other hand, Eun-yul shrank her neck as if the praise was burdensome.
“Ah, no, I’m not that great, but…….”
“If Yul is as big as an older sister, she’s a talented person!”
“Oh, no. So-so…….”
Eun-yul shook her head in her unconfident attitude and denied Han Su-ah’s words her. She sang well within the team, but she’s not at the level where she can confidently claim to be a talented singer. She was evaluating herself that way.
In fact, Eun-yul’s self-evaluation her was n’t that wrong. Rather, she could be called a fairly objective assessment, judging only by the current rating of her singing (C + / S) talent of her.
However, Han Soo-ah firmly dismissed Eun-yul’s denial of her.
“Yulie unnie sings well. Or you will sing well.”
Even if her personal fan feeling her was excluded, there was absolute certainty in Han Soo-ah’s words her.
“Because my older brother said so.”
Han Soo-ah’s trust her in Seo Joo-hwan is absolute. And it was no different for Min Ga-hee.
“Yes. If my brother said so, then so be it.”
“Was Joo-hwan oppa like that? Well, then you must have talent.”
Not only Min Ga-hee, but also Yoon Seul-gi nodded her head. This was a reaction that seemed stronger the longer I knew Seo Joo-hwan.
The person Seo Joo-hwan noticed had some outstanding talent.
It was a truth commonly used unconsciously among Seo Ju-hwan and his close acquaintances.
[Because the owner has shown so many things so far.]
However, Eun-yul, who had relatively little time to get to know Seo Joo-hwan, did not understand the reaction of the three. However, she was inadvertently getting caught up in unfounded remarks because not one but three of them said that.
‘Am I really talented?’
Thinking of that, I looked back at Seo Joo-hwan and saw him smiling and nodding his head. As if the idea was right.
With just that one nod, Eunyul felt a little more at ease. Although she has never experienced his nonsensical eyes his, her trust her in Seo Joo-hwan’s “Benefactor” Is no less than other people’s.
Han Soo-ah looked around at the three and asked.
“How do unnies work when making music? I like singing, but I’ve never made one, so I’m curious.”
“Ugh. It’s okay to just pick it up and say it. Most of the time, it comes to mind while doing something. Especially when I read the novels written by Joo-hwan oppa, it happens the most.”
Min Ga-hee was the type of genius that the public usually thinks of. Apart from having S-level potential, the way and timing of talents blooming varies from person to person, but in the case of Min Ga-hee, she was the type to grow while making songs and feeling inspired through experiences rather than a set frame .
“Oh, Jaesoo Wang. Do you understand why this bitch Ga-hee is jealous of the kids? You turned to composition in your second year and killed everyone.”
“Lord, kill me?”
Eun-yul made a surprised expression at Seul-gi Yoon’s extreme expression of her.
“Ahaha. I mean sexually killed. Kahi was originally on the vocal side, but after listening to Joo-hwan oppa’s advice, she switched to composing. But as soon as you change your major, you fly around, right? The professor who is known for being very picky only cares about Kahi. It’s not even a fuss to somehow send them to study abroad.”
“Tooth. I’m not going to study abroad I like Korea.”
After saying that, Min Ga-hee secretly glanced sideways at Seo Ju-hwan. The reason she didn’t want to go to her study abroad was entirely because of Seo Joo-hwan.
Meanwhile, after hearing the story, Eun-yul looked at Min Ga-hee and Seo Joo-hwan alternately with curious eyes. I could understand why the three of them trusted Seo Joo-hwan so much.
“So, how does Seulgi unnie work?”
“Me? I don’t know how to play, but I’m young in composing… When given a guide, do you play it as it is or transform it with your own feeling? If it’s my specialty, I’m the type to understand composers’ blunt expressions. Min Ga-hee asked me to play this year, but he didn’t even give me a musical instrument and said a lot of nonsense. I was trained there.”
“Ohh. Miraculous. So, who is Yul? What is an idol like?”
“Ah, for idols, it’s important to match the song and choreography well. So, I do a lot of repetitive practice, but I’m not good at dancing, so I spent most of my time practicing dancing. Rather than making songs myself, I tended to just do what I was told to do.”
The three quickly became close, probably because of their common interest in music. Eun-yul, who felt burdened at first, gradually opened up to Min Ga-hee and Yoon Seul-gi, who she approached without hesitation.
Seo Joo-hwan looked at it with a pleased gaze.
‘Now they talk about their girl group days well.’
The beginning of Eunyul’s mental illness began with the dissolution of the group. Maybe that’s why Eunyul had an instinctive sense of rejection about talking about her her idol days of her, but after she told her about her past her in detail at the hospital the other day, the rejection reaction decreased significantly.
Han Soo-ah continued to lead the conversation.
“Didn’t you say you’ve seen all of Yul’s older sister and Joo Hwan’s older brother’s works? So, what did you like best?”
“I liked the song that first came out in the beginning of Eunah Healing the best. Especially the acoustic guitar sound…….”
“Oh, I played that, did you like it?”
“S-was Seulgi playing it, huh?”
“Yes. I’m a guitar major.”
“Aside from the guitar, most of the real sounds were played by Seulgi and other friends. Of course, there are more songs that I recorded with MIDI myself.”
Yoon Seulgi plays not only guitar, but also most stringed instruments such as bass and electric guitar. In addition, she possessed skills beyond a fairly proficient in piano and drums. He only lacks S-level talent, but Yoon Seul-gi was as talented as Min Ga-hee in deceit.
Eunyul looked at the two with envious eyes.
“Both are great. I’m clumsy… I envy you. Even the songs he can sing are still lacking compared to talented singers.”
“Ah, sister, have confidence. If Hwan said that her brother is talented, it must be? And how nice her sister’s tone is!”
“Yes. Sua, thank you.”
As the situation was like this, it was Seo Joo-hwan who was behind the scenes. He sat down on one of his chairs and watched the four women talking.
‘I’m glad they matched better than I thought.’
Eun-yul is basically afraid of meeting people. So, he was a little worried, but he only attached good people, so he was getting along without much difficulty. Of course, it was thanks to the solid trust in Seo Joo-hwan.
‘Sua is also doing well.’
Even though he seemed bright and chatty without thinking, Han Soo-ah took care of Eun-yul a lot in the middle. Thanks to that, Eunyul continued the conversation without difficulty even when he wasn’t standing close to him.
However, I wonder if the attention of many people is still a bit burdensome.
“Yul unni, would you like to do a recording? I want to hear you sing.”
“Oh, I want to hear it too. Sister’s voice is really good I wonder what notes it will sound when you sing.”
At Min Ga-hee and Yoon Seul-gi’s request, Eun-yul looked at her and shrank.
“I may not be able to sing as well as expected…….”
There is anxiety in the muffled voice. I’m worried about what to do if I’m disappointed after singing a song. The depression that had eaten away at her mind her for a long time took down her self-esteem her as well.
At that time, Han Soo-ah, who was next to her, noticed her sign of her and took Eun-yul’s hand of her.
“Sister, if it’s difficult today…….”
“Yul, it’s okay if I can’t call.”
Seo Joo-hwan, who was watching quietly, said.
“Hwani’s brother?”
Han Soo-ah blinked her eyes at the suddenly interrupted voice of her.
Seo Joo-hwan patted Eun-yul on the stiff shoulder and said.
“I just thought I came to coin karaoke.”
“A karaoke room, huh?”
“Yes. You’ve been around a lot lately.”
Since Eun-yul was recommended music therapy at the hospital, she has been going to coin karaoke every day. Even though she was still afraid of going alone, she was always with him.
Seo Joo-hwan took the lead and led her to her recording studio of her.
“I will go in with you. Gahee, look at the recording.”
At those words, Min Ga-hee put on a puzzled expression.
“… My brother is buying lunch today.”
“Okay. Order whatever you want to eat.”
Seo Joo-hwan readily responded to the unexpected remark. It was because he read the young jealousy in Min Ga-hee’s gaze of her. Is it fortunate that Han Soo-ah understands?
At that time, her eyes met her Han Soo-ah, and Yoon Seul-gi, standing next to her, secretly spoke in her mouth her.
‘Hwan’s older brother is a playboy. P.’
… It just didn’t seem like they understood.
Seo Joo-hwan smiled bitterly as he entered the recording studio.
‘I’m going to spend tonight with Kahi and tomorrow with Sua.’
Since it was an abnormal relationship, there was a need to confirm how much I love them from time to time.

Inside the recording studio.
Standing in front of the recording equipment in earnest, did the anxiety grow?
“Bar, baro, do, do?”
Eunyul’s voice was much more trembling than usual.
‘The karaoke room was fine.’
It seemed to be different from a karaoke room that was simply enjoyed.
[It’s probably because the recording studio rather than karaoke reminds me of the girl group days.]
‘I think so. I can’t even sing properly in this state.’
Seo Joo-hwan raised his hand toward the window in front. Min Ga-hee tilted her head and asked.
– Brother, why?
“I think Yul isn’t ready yet. I will sing one song first.”
– Are you my brother? Um, good Hehe, it’s been a while since I heard oppa’s song.
Min Ga-hee smiled bashfully as if she liked it. She liked Seo Ju-hwan’s songs of her, probably because of her memories of her karaoke room of her when they first met.
– What song should we do?
“One step.”
– Well? It’s the first song I’ve ever heard. Wait.
“It will be on the cycle. It’s a song that hasn’t been officially released yet.”
– Oh, I found it. There is also MR. It’s going to play now, so get ready~.
“Hmm, ummm.”
Seo Joo-hwan cleared her throat. It was a song she had been listening to for a long time, so there was no need to look up her lyrics.
Soon, a calm melody started to flow from the headphones.
‘It’s a pity that there is only guitar sound.’
Seo Joo-hwan regretfully licked his lips and started off with a hum.
“Oh~.”
[Activate the special ability ‘Thing Feeling’.]
[The emotions and images of ‘comfort’ and ‘cheer’ are clear.]
[The grade of the current singing talent is ‘B’.]
It’s been a long time since I sang this song. This song, which is still only on music sharing sites, will be officially released as a remake version six years later. And after two more years, it reversed and climbed to No. 1 on music sites.
Seo Joo-hwan sang his first verse.
“Yesterday too.”
The song ‘One Step’ starts with a rather heavy melody. A little bit of a clumsy acoustic guitar sounded low. Like the melody, the lyrics convey the tired and exhausted emotions.
I took a step yesterday too
While sweating profusely
Take a step today
As I breathe out
The narrator sweated and sighed. Even so, the steps I keep walking feel heavy. It is a hard life to live each day.
I will take a few steps tomorrow as well
Waving your arms
However, the narrator says that he will continue walking tomorrow as well. He often sweats and sighs, but walks vigorously waving his arms.
Building on the heights of yesterday
Past today’s hardships
Climb the heights of tomorrow
We strive to build up solidity, pass hardships, and stand on the high ground that we do not know when we will arrive.
Towards the dimly visible light
I reach the light that shines dimly
Face me with a proud smile
I’m moving towards the light that I don’t know where it is. Passing through yesterday, walking through today, stepping into countless tomorrows that do not know how long they will be, and reaching the light.
Facing me standing with a smile on the light that reached me like that.
“I will tell you.”
You worked really hard
I worked really hard
“You really did a good job—.”
That I worked harder than anyone else.
It will comfort me, who has been running hard all this time. I will praise the times that I have been through until I finally arrive at today.
This song had that meaning.
*
After finishing the song, Seo Ju-hwan looked at Eun-yul standing next to him.
‘Are you feeling better?’
I didn’t choose this song out of many songs for nothing. He hoped that Eunyul would gather up the courage to take a step forward. Like the narrator of this song, I wanted to walk toward the faintly visible light, the dream of being a singer.
However, there was something strange about Eunyul’s expression when he heard the song. I wondered if I was touched by the special ability ‘sing feeling’, but something was different from that.
“Yul, why…….”
“Brother.”
Eunyul said with a confused expression.
“How does your brother know my songs?”
