Chapter 52 (2/2)
”Isn't it boring to learn just the basic theory?”
”That's fortunate Then, do you have any thoughts in learning faster?”
Of course, if he could learn it faster, then he wouldn't have to worry about wasting tiYoon asked in confusion
”Is there a good method?”
”A small club, you say…… What kind of club is it?”
”It's a club that coather to talk aboutcloser to each other”
If it was a sYoon felt like he wouldn't receive any pressure He didn't think that he would be able to go there often, but he did feel like it would be a good opportunity to learn their free ways of thinking while discussing with them, and learn music theory as well
”I understand”
When KangYoon accepted, Professor Choi ChanYang replied with his uniquely soft smile
”What do I do…”
Han JooYeon kept sighing in front of the front door Thanks to not being able to sleep the past night, there were dark circles under her eyes She counted sheep all night, and tried all sorts of methods to sleep, but in the end, she couldn't even sleep for 2 hours First time on the TV came with a lot of nervousness
”Unni, your eyes are no joke…”
”Do you think you can cover that up with makeup? It really looks serious…”
Seo HanYu's expression colored in worry as she was about to leave in her school uniforo to school
”It wasn't this bad, but last night, I couldn't sleep, and even 'that' arrived…”
”Eek? No way… 'that'?”
She was kicked while down
The demon of 'that day' that comes once a month had assaulted her
”What will you do? Why does it have to be today of all days… Doesn't your stomach hurt?”
”Yes wait a minute”
Han JooYeon borrowed the fe to set out If she had to go to the co later, then ti out
At the co, and aiting for her
”Eh?”
However, KangYoon's expression turned strange as soon as he saw Han JooYeon's face
”Did you not have enough sleep yesterday?”
”The bags under your eyes are huge It wasn't like this normally, was it?”
”……”
Pimples, dark circles, freckles and such face-related talks were a taboo for women
To him, a celebrity's face was his work
Han JooYeon panicked since this the first time it happened, but as important noas not that
”I couldn't sleep because I was too nervous Will I… be alright?”
”It can't be helped Get on first”
Han JooYeon got on the car, and KangYoon paid his attention to what she brought Normally, she didn't even carry around even a s one today
'Hmm… Is it that day?'
He hadn't worked as aThere were some women whose dark circles were especially worse on that certain day Han JooYeon was also like that Moreover, she looked tense as well, which Yoon be sure about it
KangYoon quietly called for coordinator Yoo SeHee as checking over the stuff
”Team Leader, you called?”
”Yes, sir”
”I understand Team Leader, how did you know that?”
”Yes, Team Leader”
KangYoon did the final check, and they departed for the TV station
After arriving, KangYoon left first in order to greet the related personnel, and Han JooYeon, the coordinator, and theroom for makeup
”The eye …”
”Yes”
Han JooYeon couldn't open her eyes properly due to the makeup that emphasized the eyes It seemed there was a lot to do, as the makeup went on for 30was quite long, and it see iron, and she didn't knoas there on her face, but two people were drawing sticking and doing various things on her face Her pretty but plain-looking face transformed into a posh city woman's face like that
”This is enough, right?”
A long time had passed, and coordinator Yoo SeHee nodded her head in satisfaction after looking at Han JooYeon's face, froone without a trace
'This is… me?'
Han JooYeon widened her eyes when she saw the iure that rapped in steaone A pretty woman that anyone would turn their head to at least once, was inside the one without a trace
”Aah, so difficult JooYeon Your dark circles were no joke It's rare for a person to have such heavy ones too”
”I know, I know Well, I'”
”Huh? What about the Team Leader?”
Asking why the Team Leader came up, she looked at the coordinator
”He immediately kneas your that day today What would a man know about a woman? Is it intuition? He knew immediately It looks like he really cares for you lot”
”Yup Seeing him so detailed, I kinda understand why The ACE and JooAh always look for hi so you would know already”
”I think I'll also be like that if I was a singer – being fine hatever I do Even I think that it will er”
Coordinator Jung SeHee1 sent gazes of ad in her 30s Han JooYeon was also surprised at KangYoon's such care She slightly understood about what Ki had said to her
”Are you done?”
At that tis He checked the makeup on Han JooYeon's face and whether the dark circles still remained or not
”Please put more powder on this part here”
”Yes”
Coordinator Jung SeHee, as absentin adYoon's words
”Is this fine?”
”Yes, that's good”
Coordinator Jung SeHee becaYoon required h the dark circles couldn't be seen Han JooYeon was the sa
”Let's go for the dressed rehearsal”
”Yes”
Han JooYeon headed to the stage where the recording will take place today, while following KangYoon's back
Paldo Miave prizes to the person who er the best It was a national holiday special pilot prograh preliminaries froe, the finals Of course, it was still a pilot prograht now, so the staff had to pick from the people who sent self-made videos
”Paldo – Mi!!”
”Oooooh—”
Along with the energetic voice of Ji ChangSeok, and the cheering of the 500 people in the audience signalled the start of the recording Red lights lit up on all the cameras at the sae also became busy as staff moved around
”Ahhh… So nervous…”
Han JooYeon, who sat relatively towards the front, tried her best to relax the tension as h she avoided being first with sootiations, but she was 5th As the time passed by, and the first and second cae, her heart pounded more and more
'Ah… What if I ive the coe, and I won't be able to debut? Then, I won't be able to becoer, then…'
Once she thought of so so Han JooYeon's expression becahts were always like that, in the end, she ran outside froe
'Huh?'
KangYoon felt that this was so serious and followed Han JooYeon
”JooYeon”
”Team Leader…”
Seeing that Han JooYeon's expression had becoYoon asked softly
”What is it? Do you have any worries?”
”Do what bad?”
”You don't have to do well”
”Sorry?”
However, KangYoon's words were completely unexpected for Han JooYeon, and her eyes widened
”The o up there, your responsibility is over Whatever happens, the responsibility is mine from then on”
”I knohat you're worried about What if I perfor bad happens because of that? What if I'er because of that?”
”……”
KangYoon's words hit the bullseye Han JooYeon lowered her head in silence KangYoon tapped her shoulders He implied her to cheer up
”I did say let's go together until the end Believe in me Whatever happens, you just have to do your best up there”
”It's good that you aren't crying though Soets messed up and they have to delay their order There, there, it's your turn soon so cal back Okay?”
”Yes”
KangYoon didn't say anyhis broad back, Han JooYeon quietly muttered
”Now I get it; why those unnis want to ith Team Leader so much…”
The belief that KangYoon was behind them no matter what they did
Cale
”This, is a little…”
Lee HyunAh's expression creased as though the song she sung noas no good Although she had a cute face, her senior, Min ChanMin, retorted as though he didn't like her
”Is that so? Then this…”
Fixing the score, he played theeach of those sounds, Lee HyunAh sung again However, it seerumbled
”I don't think this is right either…”
Seeing Lee HyunAh like that, Kiuitar, stepped up
”HyunAh, just what do you want? You don't like loose, but you don't like fast either That's no good”
”I… don't get that feeling”
Said Lee HyunAh in a sry, but it was the same
”Hey, gather up”
In the end, Min ChanMin ather up He pointed towards one verse of the score and asked the people
”HyunAh said this part here is no good because it feels loose So I changed it to feel a little faster, but now she says that it feels to hurried What do you think is good?”
Lee HyungSeok, in charge of the electric guitar, answered Min ChanMin's question He drew a sharp and gathered everyone's attention
”Let's go with this here, and like this… The chord should be…”
But before he finished drawing a single note, Moon MiYoung interfered
”But then the chord progression won't work I think it will feel like it's stuck that way?”
Then she touched another chord
It was like this All of the members talked about their opinions on one part as they discussed in order for a better piece ofthat, time would fly by quickly
”I'ry”
With Ki, the discussion ended
The process ofmusic with everyone wasn't as easy as it sounded to be
'Whoa…!!'
It becae Ca soagain
'I can do it, I can do it!!'
Han JooYeon resolved herself However, she didn'tto each other in the ti with the cameras and PDs looked scary to her She was still 18 years old It wasn't easy for her
At that Yoon who should have been at the back of the stage
'Team Leader?'
He was holding up a giant piece of paper (A0)
'It's fine if you make a mistake? Pffftt…'
But in this situation, he was too kind Even though he should have held the sharpest gaze a all the people here, his expression was the war heart calmed down
”Ah, ah Sorry Let's do this again Would you please cue the music?”
A momentary delay The audience seemed to have understood and they settled down The staff received her signal and played the music It was finally the start
–You are — a good – person but — you don't know —-
A co MinJoo started enveloping the stage The audience all rubbed their eyes at the scene where they couldn't differentiate between the original or just the mimic
–Would you know — a person in my heart —
Even the presenter, no, all the PDs and the other staff present were confused, they couldn’t tell if this was the original or not Naturally, all voices had to have soe was 'perfectly' copying Kang MinJoo's song
KangYoon settled down after confirht There was no need to say anything about the reactions of the audience They were all in a
'Phew…'
Although he did worry because Han JooYeon was very nervous, he sighed in relief as the e was done well Of course, he had a plan B and a plan C if this didn't work, but that would require
With the cheers of the people, the stage ended The presenter grabbed her and interviewed her, but her shyness wasn't suited to talking much
'Entertainood'
People had their own styles of work If it was Lee SamSoon or someone else up there, it would have been a different story KangYoon was a little disappointed
The stage ended, and KangYoon waited for her in the waiting room
”Thank you for your wo… Ah”
Han JooYeon collapsed in place as soon as she cas The er immediately supported her to the sofa
”Good work It was a nice stage”
”I didn't do anything Everything is due to your effort”
KangYoon didn't say Yoon fire without any probleive her more confidence

”Thank you”
”Younearly perfectly Is there a secret to it?”
Presenter Ji ChangSeok asked when Han JooYeon answered
”A cool outside help?”
”Eeeh?”
