If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love

129 – Sun Taeyang’s Fan

Episode 129

James Oh, Jinwoo Oh, and Isabella were looking at me as I sat in front of the piano and worried.

It was also a problem for James Oh, whose eyes were shining openly, but Jinwoo Oh and even Isabella seemed to have some expectations while looking at me.

To be honest, I felt like I had to show something even if I didn’t have anything.

After overcoming that burden, I sighed softly and brought out my true feelings.

“I… , James O. Composer. “Do you really need to use this melody line?”

“Of course. If you don’t use this, what on earth do you use? I’m thinking of it as a title now!”

… Has this guy lost his mind?

I looked at the ceiling with mixed feelings and spoke in the most serious voice possible.

“Composer James Oh, it’s good that you leave excessive expectations and evaluations, but one thing I want to tell you is that I am only an amateur.”

The reason why he was able to receive such a high evaluation from both Cheon A-ram and James Oh was purely because of the compensation. And for me now, there was no compensation related to music.

“No, Team Leader Sun is not someone who can simply be dismissed as an amateur.”

“The arrangement of ‘Dress Up’, which was evaluated impressively, was also close to a fluke.”

“Even if it was a fluke, my opinion doesn’t change. Team leader Sun is talented.”

“Even if you have talent, as composer James O said, it is a problem.”

“… Yes?”

What if? Indeed, as Cheon A-ram and James Oh have commented, I may have some talent for which there is no reward. But even so, he is only a talented prospect.

“Even if we assume that a person has talent, it doesn’t change the fact that he or she is an amateur who has never composed a professional song. I might be able to come up with a good song. About 10 years later. I’m so lucky that it might be now. But the odds of not doing so are enormously higher.”

I have been over-evaluated here and there, but my true nature is that of a beginner who has never done a single proper proof.

“Why take such a risk? We don’t have to do that. … No, beyond not doing that, I, as the team leader of a team called Girls’ Revolution, cannot allow it.”

And such impurities should not interfere with the song that the winter, fall, and summer glass will create.

“It’s a good experimental challenge. You can do it. However, that should only be done when the Girl Revolution team has established a stable foundation. It’s not the first album. As composer James Oh well knows, the importance of the first album cannot be emphasized enough. This album has to be perfect. Every song has to be the best it can be. And I clearly know that the answer cannot be me.”

I have already seen the answer sheet for the previous round. So I’m sure. The answer is not me.

“…”

I looked at him, thinking I had been sufficiently persuaded.

But there was something strange about the way James O looked at me.

“… Why do you put yourself down so much?”

He always maintained objectivity and rational calm with a hint of arrogance. But now his attitude seemed unprecedentedly emotional.

“Don’t you know the proportion of superfluity? Excessive humility is also not polite.”

Isabella, who was watching from the side, probably sensed the change in his expression, and stopped him.

“James calm down a little…”

“I already told you that I’m a fan of Team Leader Sun, right? Do you think this is an expression you can use for just anyone? Not at all. Even when I was an undergraduate student, I was a helpless teenager who only lived for my own good taste! “Whether I’m a current employee, a senior, or a professor, I’ve never even used the word ‘fan!'”

“Calm down, you crazy b*stard!”

“Oh, how can I calm this down!”

“You could say take a deep breath!”

He followed those words and took a few deep breaths.

“I don’t really like the way authority is used to communicate. Because it’s cheap and disgusting. But let’s get a little bit cheesy.”

As if her words had an effect, he spoke again, having succeeded in quieting her voice slightly.

“I was tired of winning first place on music shows. My songs are scattered throughout the rankings of popular songs in karaoke rooms. You don’t have to worry about making a living just from the copyright fees that are deposited into your account now. That’s right. I dare say that I am the top of the K-pop industry. According to James Oh, Team Leader Seon is talented, and the current melody line has the potential to be used as the title song of that important first album. … Do you need more proof than this? “Team Leader Seon, don’t you trust what I say?”

Now I can finally understand the true nature of James O’s emotions.

It wasn’t anger. It wasn’t an insult to his pride.

It was a disappointment.

“Then tell me the name of another expert you trust. I have a wide foot in that industry. 60% of the names that come to mind can be called Probably right now. I’ll call my friend and assure him how much potential this melody line has. Please trust me. “Fuck, this is bullshit!”

“…”

“… Yes, you may be thinking, what’s the big deal when it’s still just a melody? It won’t be easy to complete. You may need to purchase the melody line itself for some parts to create a suitable composition. However, I hope Team Leader Seon completes this song properly. I think you have the ability to do it. “I will help you.”

I asked him with pure doubt.

“Why do you care so much about me making songs?”

Then he cleared his throat, controlled his emotions, and spoke with the calmness he always showed.

“I am currently a colleague of Team Leader Sun, who is the manager, but before that, I was a fan of Team Leader Sun, who was the producer.”

“…”

“I told you, right? What a terrible slump I was in. That’s being broken little by little thanks to Team Leader Sun, Gyeoreum, and the other kids. Honestly, it’s a bit harsh to say to a man, but there are times when I feel like Team Leader Sun is like my muse.”

Isabella, who heard those words, glared at me.

… Isabella, I have absolutely no interest in that. Rest assured.

“… I’m not the only muse, right? Isabella, our co-worker who we share inspiration with, must have also become a muse at some point, right?”

“No, he’s never done that before?”

“… Sons. “

“… Huh? “Bella, what?”

… Pay attention, you crazy guy.

“Because that’s who I am, I get greedy. I would like to see. “I wonder what kind of inspiration this person named Seon Tae-yang would feel if he created an original rather than an arrangement.”

“…”

“I know that Team Leader Sun has never received professional training in composition. Still, let’s give it a try. I will do my best to help in areas that are overly complex and specialized. Of course, unlike that obnoxious guy, I won’t do something like put my name on a song just because I did something like that, so you can rest assured.”

To be honest, James O’s emotional outburst was embarrassing to me.

What he wanted was to destroy his perfectly prepared plan as a manager.

But it didn’t feel too bad.

It was the first time I was expected to do something like this by someone, other than the manager’s job.

Thoughts flowed.

He skipped college from a young age and has been working as a manager.

No, he only lived as a manager. All my life, I have focused on just that one thing. I didn’t think about anything else. However, even in the second round, I had genuine doubts about whether it was necessary to do so.

What do I want to do?

“…”

The answer emerged from the emotions that floated like a buoy.

“I will try. Composition.”

First of all, I wanted to live up to those expectations.

“Is that true? Then the title…”

“But the title is a no-no.”

“… “Oh.”

It sounds like ‘ah’.

No matter how much they say, the title will be chosen as a sure-win card that costs money.

Even though personal practice time was in full swing, Yoo Ga-eul escaped from the training room and put her ear to the recording studio door.

‘Wow, it’s so sweet.’

Sun Taeyang, whom she loved so much, was playing the piano. It was the first time she had heard a performance in a long time, as she had to do her busking on her own due to Sun Taeyang’s busy schedule.

Yu Ga-eul, a fan of his piano, could not miss this golden opportunity.

At that time, someone spoke to Yu Ga-eul, who was trying to hear more sound by rubbing her whole body in front of the recording studio door in a rather ugly position.

“I understand that you still have personal practice schedules left. “Please return to the training room.”

“Hi! … Ah, Team Leader Sooyeon.”

Yoo Ga-eul said with great regret, even though she knew that it would be difficult to appeal to Seo Soo-yeon, who is usually strict and values discipline.

“… Wait, really, can I just listen for a moment and go? “If you give me just a little more time, I will stay and practice twice as much.”

“…”

However, her reaction which would normally have been ‘No,’ was strangely different.

“I guess Team Leader Seon is playing?”

Yu Ga-eul, who felt hope at the unusual reaction, smiled and explained.

“That’s right. From what you said last time, I heard that you were making a song for us. I think playing now is part of that process. It may not be finished yet, but I think it’s still really good!”

“Gaeul really likes Team Leader Seon’s music.”

“I am your number one fan!”

Seo Soo-yeon looked at Yoo Ga-eul, who proudly volunteered to be her fan.

And she said, smiling as if she were in full bloom, which is unusual for her, who always maintains her usual poker face.

“Then I will be fan number 2.”
