My Daughter is a Music Genius

Episode 16

Jo Sung-hyun kept his promise.

I would have gotten permission from Park Joong-won, so there was no reason not to keep the promise.

Chaeyoon was a little tired, so she leaned on Jo Sunghyun’s shoulder and fell asleep, while Yumi was eating the cake with a happy face.

Slow Rabbit.

It’s a cake restaurant, but luckily I was able to go before closing.

They were the last guests.

There are no others, only Yumi, Jo Sung-hyun, and Chae-yoon.

The woman, who did not know whether it was a part-time job or the boss, was checking her smartphone without recognizing Yumi, who was wearing a hat.

“it’s delicious?”

“I’m not kidding. It makes you wonder if you have worked so hard to eat this?”

While Yumi said so, she gently pushed the cake, telling her to try it too.

Strawberry Chocolate Cake.

I’m not usually a big fan of cakes, but it wasn’t that I didn’t eat them, so Jo Seong-hyeon took a bite of the cake.

The sweet chocolate flavor spreads throughout the mouth.

When you are about to get a little tired of the sweetness of chocolate, strawberries appear and hold the taste.

“It’s okay.”

“Because it is.”

Yumi said in a pleasant voice.

After taking a bite of the cake, she opened her mouth.

“But, brother, since when did Chaeyun start playing the piano? I saw you today and you played very well. No, I didn’t just play well, I just played my songs without the sheet music?”

“I’ve heard it a few times. At home, Yumi-san, there was a time when I played the album she was preparing for this time.”

“No, how many times does it make sense to play it on the piano? Are you seven years old?”

“… It’s not that it doesn’t make sense, but it’s interesting to me too.”

Jo Sung-hyun scratched his cheek and said.

No matter how many times I looked at it, it was a strange thing.

“little… It could be a long way, brother. No matter how much I think about it, I think Chaeyoon should do music, right? in any form.”

said Yumi.

Jo Sung-hyun had no choice but to nod his head at her words.

She was right.

Chae-yoon herself liked music, and she has excellent talent.

Just looking at it today, didn’t you see a talent far beyond the ordinary?

There may come a time when you really have to make a choice.

Giving up music and making a promise not to do it again, and helping Chae-yun become a musician.

You must choose one of the two.

Cho Sung-hyun already knew to some extent.

That that moment was soon to come.

And that moment came a little earlier than Jo Seong-hyeon had thought.

* * *

The next day, after a long absence from work, I took Chae-yoon to my parents’ house.

Chae-yoon ate and went to bed early to see if yesterday’s fatigue had not yet gone.

With Chae-yoon sleeping on the sofa in the living room, Jo Sung-hyun talked with her parents.

“What? Chae-yoon made money?”

“yes. 20,000 won.”

What story does Seong-hyeon Cho have to say?

child’s pride

When I hear that Chae-yoon made money, Lee Soo-hyun’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Twenty thousand dollars? Hey, Chaeyoon is better than you.”

“… Chae-yoon is the best.”

Jo Sung-hyun nodded in response to his mother’s words.

Lee Soo-hyun was joking, but Jo Seong-hyun genuinely thought that Chae-yoon was better than him.

His father, Jo Jae-wook, intervened.

“How did you make money?”

“I made a music video. This time, our company’s artist is releasing a mini album, and we need a child who can play the piano in a hurry for the music video.”

“Are you trying to get your daughter to do something else?”

“honey! follow the other Even if you say so… .”

At Jo Jae-wook’s words, Lee Soo-hyun slaps his arm.

other way

Jo Sung-hyun laughed at the expression he had not heard in a long time.

“I don’t know. I just want to let Chae-yoon do what she wants.”

“… I am the opposite.”

“What?”

“What my granddaughter is doing. If you’re good at something, do something else.”

“Oh My God. Dad, what… Then you can’t say that Chaeyoon did something wrong?”

Jo Seong-hyeon looked at Jo Jae-wook and said.

If Chae-yoon wants to do it, what can’t it do?

“What kind of era these days are, they say, they can’t keep up with others. I really don’t understand. Is your son doing a chauffeur job?”

I wonder if Lee Soo-hyeon was absurd, looking at Cho Jae-wook and said.

As they rebutted like that in pairs, Jo Jae-wook paused, not knowing what to say.

“Even so, it’s a little bit different… .”

“Okay, let’s eat some fruit.”

Lee Soo-hyeon put a fruit in Jo Jae-wook’s mouth and stopped him.

She glanced at that Chaeyoon was sleeping and continued.

“You understand. Your daddy’s a little clogged up.”

“Are you by my side?”

“So that’s what I mean. Let me know you’re stuck.”

Lee Soo-hyeon said, tapping Jo Jae-wook’s arm.

Jo Sung-hyun burst into laughter as the two of them clashed with each other after a long time.

“Whether it’s a singer, a singer, or an artist… I do it if Chaeyoon wants it, or I don’t.”

“Still, once born, a person should have big dreams.”

“Our Chaeyoon has a very big dream.”

“What?”

“The Little Mermaid.”

“Mermaid… What?”

As if there is no absurdity, Jo Jae-wook looks at Jo Sung-hyun.

He narrowed his brow and looked at Jo Sung-hyun, then shook his head.

Jo Jae-wook’s lips were slightly curved.

Even if I talk a little harshly, in the end, Chae-yoon is Jo Jae-wook’s granddaughter.

couldn’t hate

“You’re still young.”

“What if I just said it was cute?”

Lee Soo-hyun muttered, “I’m sorry.”

She spoke quickly.

“So, what are you going to do with that 200,000 won?”

“I have nothing to do. Chae-yoon should save it in the future bankbook. When I grow up, I will spend a lot of money.”

Cho Sung-hyun replied.

I don’t know where it will be used, but I thought I’d save it for now.

So that if there is a place that Chaeyoon really wants to write in the future, she can write it.

* * *

Been busy for a few days.

After filming for Yumi’s music video was over, I really had to make final preparations for the mini album.

Preparing for filming was a lot of work, but after filming was over, there was more to do.

Now that it’s really a last-minute job, I had to adjust the schedule with the PR team as well, and I had to make phone calls back and forth.

The PR team was working hard to expose Yumi’s mini-album to the public, but there was no way to do that.

Even if you prepare 120 percent instead of 100 percent, the public recognizes only a few percent.

“Sung Hyun-ah.”

“Yes, chief.”

“Did you make sure you talked about Yumi-san’s schedule with the boys on the music side?”

“Yes, I organized it into a file and handed it over.”

The upload team, the management team, and the PR team are different.

Of course, if you’re in a hurry, you just work on your own without such boundaries, and it’s natural, but what’s divided is that it’s divided.

“Who said you were going to comeback that day?”

Team leader Park Joong-won asks the question again.

He must already be familiar with it, but he must be nervous to ask.

Park Joong-won is the type of person who tries to relieve tension by talking to someone when he is nervous.

“You don’t have to worry about the other kids, but ‘Big Boys’ and ‘Dooyongs’ are making a comeback.”

“‘Big Boys’, because they are idols, they pass… After all, our competitors are ‘Dooyongs’. How about Yumi?”

“You don’t seem to care much about your competitors. At first glance.”

Jo Sung-hyun calmly answered and tried to relieve Park Joong-won’s tension.

Although he became the team leader, Park Joong-won was nervous whenever an album by an artist he was managing was released.

And it’s the same even if you become a manager later, not a team leader.

That’s just the person Park Joong-won himself.

“I think ‘Big Boys’ would be a good match, but ‘Dooyongs’ is a bit vague.”

Seong-hyeon Cho said.

Park Joong-won blinked as if in doubt.

“Is it worthy to face ‘Big Boys’?”

Big Boys is a boy group.

A small and medium-sized entertainment company gathered five tall male idols to form a group called Big Boys, and the result was not bad.

It’s not a huge hit, but it’s been exposed so well that the public has heard the name at least once.

Even if it wasn’t explosively popular, it was only natural for her to be curious because she was older than Yumi and was worthy of dealing with the boy group Big Boys.

“I think so?”

Jo Seong-hyeon spoke softly and turned around.

I can’t remember exactly, but I do remember that the Big Boys’ results didn’t come out as expected.

Then, wouldn’t it be worth a try?

Seong-hyeon Cho was thinking like that.

After I finished my work, I was thinking of tidying up and leaving the office, and I was turning off my computer, when Park Joong-won called from behind.

“Oh right, Sunghyun-ah, I almost couldn’t talk. See you next Monday for an interview.”

“An interview?”

“yes. You have to hire someone to work for you. Interview on Monday and go to work on Tuesday. And teach me to work for two weeks.”

“… Yep.”

Well, it’s time to get a successor.

It was also helpful to save it in a week.

“Then I will go to work.”

“Yeah, I’m really out of work these days. No, but are you in a hurry today for something?”

“I have to go shopping.”

“?”

“There is such a thing.”

The day of the kindergarten fall sports day is tomorrow.

* * *

Jo Seong-hyeon woke up early, even though it was a weekend morning.

Kindergarten fall sports day.

I didn’t feel so nervous even when I was doing something like a social gathering at the company.

‘It was just annoying.’

No, I don’t know why the entertainment management company goes hiking to promote friendship.

Cho Sung-hyeon, who was sulky and tongue-tied, immediately came to his senses and prepared the ingredients.

kimbap.

It’s simple, but I’m not very skilled yet, so it took some time.

While I was seasoning the rice, I heard popularity from behind.

“Dad… ?”

When I turned around and looked back, Chae-yoon was standing there.

The child rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked up at Jo Sung-hyun, who said that he was working quietly, but when he saw his waking daughter, he thought about what to do, and then took off his plastic gloves.

“Chae Yoon-ah, Dad, will Chae-yoon sleep while making kimbap?”

“… Chaeyoon can also make kimbap.”

Jo Seong-hyeon tried to pick her up to take her back to the bedroom, but stopped when he heard what Chae-yoon had to say.

“Can Chae-yoon make kimbap? Not sleepy?”

“Umm… I am not sleepy.”

With a sleepy face, Chaeyoon said.

Seong-Hyeon Cho smiled and nodded his head.

“Then will Chae-yoon sit here and eat some meat?”

Seong-hyeon Cho, who entrusted Chae-yoon with the not-so-difficult task of opening the bag of meat, started seasoning the rice again.

After a while, when Jo Sung-hyun turned his head.

As I was unpacking the bag of meat meat, I could see that she wanted to eat it, and she saw Chae-yoon sleeping on a chair with a piece of meat in her mouth.

How cute he looked, Jo Sung-hyun exclaimed, “Heh.”

How did such a child come out of you?

Jo Seong-hyeon carefully moved Chae-yun onto the bed and made kimbap again.
