Volume 2 / Chapter 61
TL: LightNovelCafe
Yoon Kwang Hun and Baek Seung Ho talked about the days when they were close as they drank in a hotel room.
“Is that true? Our boss was that successful?”
Jun Hyuk was repeating the same question in disbelief as he ate the food they had ordered as room service.
“Yeah. Kwang Hun was the king of Yeouido. Everyone knew who he was.”
“Hey kid. You didn’t believe me all this time? Wow… I feel betrayed…..”
“Well… who would believe it? It doesn’t make sense that someone who used to move hundreds of thousands of dollars and made over a million is running a cafe that doesn’t even do very well.”
‘Back in the day…..’ Of the adults who said that they had been really great back in the day, he had never seen someone who really had been. Jun Hyuk had not believed anything Yoon Kwang Hun had said.
“But sir, were you really going to send me abroad?”
Jun Hyuk had heard that Yoon Kwang Hun and Professor Go Sae Won were looking into famous schools abroad where he could study for the first time at the press conference. He was grateful, but a little sad.
“Oh, I didn’t tell you. Nothing is decided yet. We were just looking into it. Why? You don’t want to study abroad?”
“I don’t know. I do want to go, but it’s scary… and I also get the feeling that I just want to lock myself in a recording studio and make music.”
Baek Seung Ho who was drunk at this point, emptied his glass and spoke,
“Oh right. I was curious about that too. What is he going to study when you say he’s like Mozart? Shouldn’t he just go straight to releasing his music with a debut? I thought you said music was just spilling out of his head. What more can he learn?”
“You’re so ignorant. You don’t think Mozart learned the theories of music? Mozart’s father, Leopold Mozart, was a famous piano teacher in Salzburg. Do you know how many books he wrote on music? Mozart was home schooled on music from an impressive teacher from birth.”
Yoon Kwang Hun was also drunk,
“Jun Hyuk’s lacking theory the most. He needs to know the theories to get the notes of the music spilling out of his head more elaborately so he can make music. No genius can make music without knowing the theories. I’m sure understanding it will be quick.”
“That’s not it. Isn’t a genius someone whose music is naturally made to the theories? What are you going to do if learning the theories messes up Jun Hyuk’s talent?”
The two men kept speaking their opinions. To Jun Hyuk, this just looked like a drunk banter.
Adults fought over useless things when they drank too much. He did feel good that there were now two adults who worried about his future.
While their voices grew louder, Jun Hyuk was lost in thought.
Did he need to learn theory? Would the music in his head become more stylish if he learned the theories?
No. Good music, stylish music, what could this be? What was Teacher Jo Hyung Joong’s method to making stylish music?
These thoughts kept coming up in Jun Hyuk’s mind without rest.
Baek Seung Ho yelled loudly as if trying to interfere with Jun Hyuk’s thoughts,
“Stop! Turn on the TV. The broadcast is going to start.”
Jun Hyuk bolted up and when he turned on the TV, ‘Tomorrow’s Star’ was about to start. Since it was still about the area preliminaries, Jun Hyuk should not be making an appearance.
However, to raise viewer ratings, the broadcast started with highlights from Jun Hyuk and Yoon Kwang Hun’s press conference. After that, they showed scenes of Jun Hyuk’s area preliminary auditions that had not come out on broadcast before.
They showed the guitar version of Jung Tae Chun’s ‘Poet’s Town’ that Jun Hyuk had arranged on the spot along with the surprised faces of the judges. For a broadcast that only aired for 1 hour, it could have been seen as a special on Jun Hyuk because all of the clips regarding him added up to 15 minutes.
“I have to admit the people at the broadcasting station are fast. When do you think they prepared all of this?”
