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

28 – Talent beyond the system

Episode 28

Gaeul seems to have chosen the song after thinking about the composition of the current instrument, which only has vocals, piano, and guitar.

‘Memories of the Sea and Fallen Leaves’ was an acoustic pop song based only on guitar and piano.

However, it didn’t seem like a light song suitable for the first song.

The beginning of the previous week was a piano solo.

However, the foreshadowing that came to my mind was quite different from the calm and plain foreshadowing commonly expected in acoustic pop.

It was the prelude to a violent technique that boasted the pianist’s skills to the fullest, as if there was no room to spare from the start.

Apparently, he really believed my words that autumn could play all songs.

If you look at the fact that such a difficult song is released from the beginning.

If so, you will have to prove it.

That belief was not wrong.

I put my fingers on the keyboard and started dancing with my fingertips to the song playing in my head.

It was only mentioned that the ‘jukebox at your fingertips’ allows you to play songs.

However, it did not feel like the fingers were automatically moving according to the song.

It was closer to knowing the song, knowing how to play it, and knowing each and every muscle movement that controls it. So that you can be more skilled than anyone else.

If the plate was laid to this point, all that was left was to act.

I realized this as I kept hitting the keys. This wasn’t something that could be lumped together with the word ‘I can hit.’

I wanted to cancel the thought that I had decided that the reward of a jukebox at my fingertips was not a big deal. This was a miracle and a miracle.

After passing through the strangely flowing rhythm of off-beat, the rhythm naturally changed to steady, and the fast began.

As I forced myself to hit the keys to the finely divided beats, the song began to flow seamlessly.

People who were interested in the appearance of autumn began to talk about my province.

Ga Eul also stared blankly with her mouth open, probably surprised to see me like that.

… No, Gaeul, you can’t do that.

I shouted even though I was aware that it could ruin my immersion in Jeonju.

“autumn!”

Only after hearing that voice did Gaeul also begin to play the guitar, perhaps realizing her duty.

Autumn started playing a smooth yet aggressive riff as if she couldn’t lose.

The acoustic guitar’s finger-style riff heightened the sweet yet combative atmosphere of the song.

By the way, I don’t know what kind of song has a pair of verses and riffs in it from the beginning.

But I had a lot of fun playing it. Ga Eul also seemed to have had the same impression as she was smiling so brightly that it was clearly visible even from the side.

We rode out the song like we were going crazy with full of joy.

And the 40-second long prelude was coming to an end.

Now it was the song’s turn.

The smile disappeared from Ga Eul’s lips.

She cleared her throat seriously, as if conjuring up a poem.

When I saw her like that, I stopped playing the piano.

It was a scene where the real protagonist of the song, neither the piano nor the guitar, appeared.

There was no need for noise.

The guitars stopped sounding and the audience held their breath.

Autumn began to sing in complete silence, even if it was only for a moment.

＜The fallen leaves floating on the autumn sea and the person you are.＞

A chilling shiver ran through me.

Autumn’s status window clearly showed that the vocalist’s current ability was A-. It wasn’t a low ability level.

This means that you have succeeded in entering the A category of literary circles at a time when people recognize you as a genius.

However, it was also true that I saw quite a few A-‘s in previous episodes.

That’s why I thought the current level of Gaeul’s vocals was just about that level.

A good vocalist that can be seen quite often in the professional world. Just about that much.

＜A person like you who makes it impossible to stop smiling.＞

It was a big mistake.

No matter how much he grew, S’s overwhelming talent could not be hidden.

This wasn’t just my idea.

The people who paid attention to my sokju, the people who just passed by, and the people who talked on the phone without interest were all mesmerized by the voice of autumn.

This was not the suction power that A- would show.

＜Like a burning bonfire, like rustling leaves＞

＜Your voice is so lovely.＞

Autumn turned his head and looked at me.

Only then did I realize it. Now it was the piano’s turn.

Enchanted by her voice, I forgot my duty.

I felt ashamed that I had woken her up just 30 seconds earlier by yelling at her.

I took a deep breath and resumed the dance of my fingertips.

＜Even the mischievous steps are deeply rooted in words＞

＜Do you know that I am so lovable?＞

The song of autumn continued.

I desperately reproduced the knowledge in my head.

He played the piano delicately, adjusting his strength so that even one beat and even one rhythm did not make an error.

However, I couldn’t erase the feeling that the overwhelming light of the vocals was forcibly dragging it.

In such disharmony, the song went over to the interlude and the piano solo appeared again.

Ahead of the solo, I thought.

I didn’t want to be lacking.

Not a regressive manager. As a piano that became one hand involved in the music called that fall.

I was sure.

The moment the name Yoo Ga-eul was included, the stage had to be the best.

So, as someone who called myself an accessory, I had to be the best even just for a moment.

I made the ‘memories of the sea and fallen leaves’ that filled my mind into smaller pieces.

And he analyzed and voraciously absorbed the hundreds of thousands of songs that came through his fingers.

What I know now is not just memories of the sea and fallen leaves.

It was ‘every’ song that exists.

Even if you have it, if you can’t use it, it’s simply a lack of ability.

My heated mind was throbbing.

My stomach felt like I was going to vomit.

The blood flow throughout my body became hot as if it were burning.

The small, miserable body could not withstand the tidal wave of knowledge and called for a strike.

But I eventually did it. We have succeeded in spinning some of that knowledge into a single thread.

I hit the keys before the realization faded away.

Sometimes funky, sometimes sweet, sometimes strongly damped, sometimes calm.

Autumn’s eyes widened and she looked at me playing the piano next to her.

An ecstatic smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

What kind of expression do I have?

I don’t know.

But a vague premonition was telling.

I’m sure she’s smiling like autumn.

I looked at Ga Eul and nodded slightly.

Then she also started making variations to my rhythm.

The sound of the finger-style acoustic guitar became more dazzling, completely changing the mood of the song.

This was not Memories of the Sea and Fallen Leaves by singer-songwriter Oh Jong-gyu, who did all the composition and lyrics.

It was a memory of me and the autumn sea and fallen leaves.

＜Oh, memories of the sea and fallen leaves.＞

The song reached its highlight.

＜I will remember you. I will love you.＞

The deep emotions in Ga Eul’s voice echoed through the microphone and speakers.

No matter how great the siren’s singing voice is, it would not have been greater than the appeal of autumn now.

The current autumn was a witch.

The current appearance of attracting people with just one voice seemed to be imbued with magic.

＜Before the leaves crumble＞

＜I will be swept away. You are＞

The dazzling finger-style acoustic guitar and the piano that continued without a moment to breathe came to an end.

＜To the sea.＞

And the song also ended.

Even though the song ended, no one made any noise.

There was only silence in the square where dozens of people had gathered, as if this lingering feeling could not be hurt.

match! match! match!

And a child started clapping with an innocent smile.

People began clapping one by one, as if they had come to their senses at the sound.

The flow spread like an infection and soon filled the entire square.

Amidst the explosion of applause and cheers, Ga Eul looked at me with excitement.

“… “Team leader Seon.”

“Yes, Mr. Autumn.”

“Is it over?”

I felt like I knew how autumn felt.

“It’s a shame, isn’t it?”

Because I felt the same way.

“… Yes, because this is my first time feeling like this.”

“Then I can call you again, right?”

“Is that okay?”

“Why did I buy 3 hours of Mr. Autumn? If anything, it would be difficult for me if it ended with just one song.”

Where are you trying to step out?

Until you resurrect your lingering love for singing.

Until I became attracted to idols.

Until I have a dream that I can’t give up on.

“You have to hang out until the end.”

Ga Eul smiled innocently and answered, like a child who had received a promise to go to an amusement park.

“yes!”

Cheon A-ram, who watched Yoo Ga-eul and Seon Tae-yang’s performance, asked Seo Soo-yeon, who had joined after finishing her work at home.

“how was it?”

Seo Soo-yeon shook her head slightly and said.

“As much as my knowledge is specialized in accounting, I lack knowledge of music. Because of that, I think I lack the qualifications to evaluate that stage.”

“No, qualifications have nothing to do with evaluating performance. “Because not all members of the public evaluate with qualifications.”

Cheon A-ram spoke with her arms crossed to prevent the blazer worn like a cape from falling down.

“And Su-yeon, since you followed me, you cannot avoid this kind of evaluation. “It’s something you have to do if you’re in the world of entertainment.”

Still, when Seo Soo-yeon hesitated to speak, Cheon A-ram spoke in a somewhat kind voice.

“We are not necessarily asking for an evaluation based on specialized knowledge. “You just have to say what you felt as a person after watching the stage.”

“Simply speaking as a person… .”

Tears welled up in Seo Su-yeon’s eyes as she spoke.

“great.”

It was a brief impression.

But it was also a great summary.

Cheon Ah-ram said after eating and laughing.

“Yeah, great.”
