[TN: How much money do you have Jun?]
Sir Simon Lettle’s villa is to Jun Hyuk’s liking. He had felt like it would have been too burdensome to stay in a place like a large European castle. The villa however, is a small 2-story house on a small hill that looks down on the Schwangau forest.
Other than the grand piano in the spacious living room, there was no clutter. There was just the expensive wine in the wine cellar.
The friendly woman who greeted Jun Hyuk is from Eastern Europe, and they could not understand each other. They can just use body language to communicate since she will only be taking care of his meals.
Jun Hyuk organized his luggage and went out into the Schwangau forest. There is just the sound of nature everywhere with nothing to interfere. Since there is such a forest right next to him, he felt like 1 month would go by easily.
Until now, it had been a busy 10 days. With time to relax, he remembered someone he had been forgetting.
“Sir, it’s me.”
“Yeah. I heard you’re a great star now? Ha ha.”
Yoon Kwang Hun’s pleasant laughter rang over the phone.
“Huh? How did you know? Did the news already come out in Korea?”
“No. It’s still quiet here. Didn’t I tell you? You’re in the palm of my hand.”
Sometimes, Jun Hyuk has the feeling that Yoon Kwang Hun might have someone following him around to report back to him. Yoon Kwang Hun will not tell him how he came to know anyway.
“That’s that, but where are you now?”
“I’m at Sir Simon Lettle’s villa. It’s a small countryside village called Hohenschwangau.”
“What? Simon Lettle? Simon Lettle of the Berlin Philharmonic?”
This is how Jun Hyuk gets revenge. He imagined Yoon Kwang Hun’s surprised face.
“Yes. Ha ha. Aren’t you jealous?”
Jun Hyuk told him about everything that happened over the last 10 days. The shock he felt when he heard his 1st symphony in the concert hall, the party with 16 maestros, and how he showed off in front of them.
“But how did your score get leaked? There’s no way it came from me.”
“Yeah. I was most curious about that as well… I gave Teacher Jo Hyung Joong my score before. He said that he would find out what it is worth from a professor of music. I never did receive an assessment. There’s nothing other than that though.”
“You did? Hm… I’ll look into it. How is it over there? Is it okay?”
“Yes. It isn’t a luxurious villa, but it’s small and perfect. Oh, you could come here. I’m alone.”
“Hey. Why go over there? I have to run the cafe.”
He does not even care that much about the cafe. There must be another reason why he will not come when Jun Hyuk knows that all Yoon Kwang Hun does is drink coffee and listen to music until it is time to close as if he is a regular customer. It seems he is trying to step by from Jun Hyuk’s life little by little so he can learn to live on his own.
“That’s that, but what are you going to do now? Are you going back to school?”
“Do you think it’ll be okay?”
“How could it be okay when it’s like this? Reporters trying to write about you isn’t even the biggest problem. I’m sure your professors are also going to make a fuss to hand over ‘Inferno’.”
“Damn it. I want to keep going to school…..”
“Why? Is there a lot to learn?”
“It’s pretty good. The special classes are good too.”
“Hm… Then how about this?”
“What?”
“Disappear for about a year. Take a leave of absence from school. Don’t you think everyone will forget after about a year? Just reveal the whole score for ‘Inferno’.”
Yoon Kwang Hun spoke to Jun Hyuk while thinking of what he had just discussed with Isaac Stern. He is still young. It would be okay for him to travel the world for a year.
