Chapter 10.6 - Act 10: D.C. 6 (1/2)

Act 10: D.C. 6

After that, Jo Yunjae asked about a few other things and nodded.

“Thank you. When do you guys meet up for the society activities?”

“Huh? We meet once every week on Wednesdays during the society times… are you thinking of coming?”

“Yes.”

Then, Jo Yunjae gave him his phone number before walking away. Staring at the distancing back, Lim Suhjoon made a face filled with half joy and half doubt.

“Sunbae. He’s saying he wants to join right?”

“I think so~?”

“…Ehew.”

Stealing a glance at Yun Soojin replying nonchalantly with a smile, Lim Suhjoon heaved out a sigh.

Jo Yunjae.

After suddenly chasing them up, he asked various questions and it was almost certain that he was interested in their society. At least it was better than those that had no reactions whatsoever but even though Lim Suhjoon was glad that a new member was joining them, there was a doubt left behind in his mind.

“But why does he want to enter our society?”

It was good he wanted to join, but why?

They hadn’t had the chance to appeal their charm properly, and they didn’t have any special eye-catching traits either. If his objective was musicals, why didn’t he just enter a musical club that dedicated themselves solely for musicals?

Judging from how he was able to attend the Prac High-Achievers Concert, he must be an extremely talented opera student and yet he wanted to enter our society instead of the other famous club?

…No matter how positive he wanted to be as a member of the society himself, he couldn’t think of any merits they had over Cantabile.

Seeing Lim Suhjoon continuously tilting his head, Yun Soojin smiled as she opened her mouth.

“He wants to do musicals; he said it right?”

“Huh?”

“This semester will definitely be interesting.”

“…”

When he saw the warm smile on Yun Soojin’s face, Lim Suhjoon shrugged his shoulders.

Right, no matter the reason, it was a great thing that a new member was joining them, but there was something stuck on his mind.

‘Musical, huh…’

“I heard it was a pain last last year though…”

Lim Suhjoon murmured while heaving out a sigh.

After the Prac High-Achievers Concert ended, there was one thing that changed.

“Where have you been?”

Lee Suh-ah stole a glance at me acting uninterested and threw a question. The important bit here was that she was ‘acting uninterested’… Feeling awkward, I scratched my hair and observed her.

With her eyes constantly glancing at me, her fingers tapped the table nonstop and her legs were crossed on one side before soon changing to the other.

Anyone could tell she was very curious.

“…”

Thinking back, Lee Suh-ah was like this ever since the concert ended.

In the middle of lessons, whenever I turned around after feeling a gaze, I would always find Lee Suh-ah observing me with eyes resembling daggers, and during practices, she directed a stubborn gaze at me as if to pull apart all my habits.

Besides, in the study group that started again with the new semester, she used ‘feedback’ as an excuse to bombard me with questions.

Why did you sing like that here?

Is there a reason you expressed it dark here?

Did you intentionally pronounce it like that there?

…To be honest, it was even a little annoying.

Although I answered her since it did help me for my practices… I sometimes wondered if she was like this due to the words I said before.

Did she feel a sense of rivalry or something?

I scratched behind my ears for a bit and thought before shaking my head with a grin.

Ha, how could the otherworldly Lee Suh-ah have a sense of rivalry against me in singing? Kim Wuju sitting over there was a lot better than me.

After erasing the impossible case scenario from my head, I replied while sitting down on the chair.

“It was the society just then. I was thinking of entering it.”

“What?”

Lee Suh-ah asked back with a frown.

“There? Why? It sounded like a strange society.”

“…”

It indeed was a strange society and if I didn’t remember the story about Song Mirae, I wouldn’t have entered it either. But now, even though I didn’t really have any other choice, I still thought that it was a better choice to go for than the original musical club. After all, at the popular musical club with a lot of people, I wouldn’t be able to sing what I wanted.

‘Here it’s small so I could have a better role as well.’

Besides, Song Mirae also got an award after entering it later down the track, so it was a pass on the capability front as well. At this point, I was thankful for Kim Sukwon-sunbae for helping me remember this society.

While giving a satisfied nod, I explained it to Lee Suh-ah who still couldn’t understand.

“When I talked to them about it, they said they’ve done a few musicals before including the year before last year. Although they have that strange name, they focus mainly on musicals, opera and plays apparently.”

“…Really?”

Seeing Lee Suh-ah crossing her arms as if she found it doubtful, a sudden thought appeared in my head. They seemed to be having some trouble due to a lack of members, so should I bring a few freshmen students in?

With my hand on my chin, I raised my head up.

“What about you?”

“Me?”

I could see her eyes turning circular.

Lee Suh-ah.

She wasn’t a bad talent to have or rather, it was a great addition. Since she would become a world-famous soprano in the future, she should be able to follow musicals easily after some practice.

Musicals and opera were from the same roots so there wasn’t a massive difference overall.

“Yeah. They said they lacked freshmen students. Don’t you think it will be fun if we do it together?”

“I don’t mind.”

Good, her expression wasn’t that bad.

A bright smile hung on my lips as I attempted to persuade her further when she suddenly froze up. Her eyes that quivered once soon moved to the side to where Song Mirae was at, before returning towards me.

Turning her head away in a flash, she continued with an awkward smile.

“That… it’s a bit bad for me since I’m already in a musical club. What about doing it with Mirae? Right! Mirae, you said you wanted to change societies because of that sunbae right?”

“Nn? What’s going on~?”

Song Mirae who had been dragged in by Lee Suh-ah’s hand looked up at me with a puzzled expression.

Song Mirae huh…

She would be a fine candidate as well. Although she wasn’t as good as Lee Suh-ah in terms of singing, she had been famous as a musical actress in the first place, so there would be a lot of things I could learn from watching her.
