EP8 – Silum and Concert (1)
26.
As the school trip ended, the overall atmosphere at Seolwon Arts High School calmed down. All events of the first semester are now over. All that remains is the issuance of report cards and vacation meals. Although students were worried about their grades, they were looking forward to vacation.
However, not all students are like that. There are some students who are not very happy about vacation. And Goyo Han was just that kind of student.
No, Han Go-yo is not just not happy about the vacation; he is wishing that the vacation would not come at all.
Very rare for Hangoyo.
I was hoping for something.
“Are you listening?”
“yes.”
The head of Sileum Department speaks to such a calm atmosphere. At those words, Han Goyo stopped his thoughts and looked at the department head. The department chair was explaining about the performance and the concert to Han Goyo.
“Students with excellent grades can stand on the opening stage of the Silum Concert, which is the graduation stage for third-year students. However, it is not mandatory and they can refuse if they wish. In fact, in the case of student Kang Seong-hoon, he refused the stage. So Jin So-hyang stood in his place. .”
“is that so.”
There was no change in Han Goyo’s expression.
As if it doesn’t matter what happens.
The department head sighed at the sight.
“Of course, it is difficult to prepare now, but there is a reward. You get extra points and gain stage experience…”
Listen to the department chair’s words with one ear and let them go with the other. Han Goyo is always like that. Don’t focus on what other people say.
Still, the department chair continued his explanation steadfastly.
“If I have to work on a project, I will work with the teacher. However, it is not unconditional, and if there is someone else who wants to work on it, we can work together.”
At those words, a person immediately appeared in Han Go-yo’s mind. A male student I hang out with these days. Could it be possible for me to be with him? But that thought stopped because of the department chair’s next words.
“And the work is done in the practice room and studio at the school. Of course, you don’t want to come to school during vacation, but…”
“I will.”
Goyo Han interrupted the department chair. The head of the department looked surprised to see such silence. Who would have thought that Han Goyo would stop talking.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I will.”
Once again, Han Goyo nodded. In response to Goyo Han’s answer, the department head was excited and told her many things. It was already difficult because Kang Seong-hoon refused to go on stage, but I am very grateful that Han Go-yo came on stage.
After hearing all the explanations, Goyo Han left the department chair’s office. And as he was about to go back to his class, he suddenly stopped and looked out the window.
It was raining outside. It is a heavy rain that signals the beginning of the rainy season. Hearing that sound, Goyo Han felt a little relieved.
Han Goyo, who doesn’t really like anything, rarely likes the sound of rain and water. To be more precise, I like ‘water’ itself.
In the water it makes everything quiet.
Because you won’t hear any sound there.
“······thank god.”
Han Goyo muttered softly while listening to the sound of rain. You don’t have to stay home during vacation. I think that’s fortunate.
However, one thing remains regrettable. While thinking about that, Goyo Han blinked. Why did he think that was regrettable? He thought about the reason, but couldn’t figure it out.
Goyo Han looked at the window. There, he could see himself looking a little more confused than usual.
Goyo Han, who was watching this, turned his gaze.
For some reason, I wanted to drink chocolate milk.

The damn rainy season has begun.
I don’t like rain. I let out a small sigh. The reason I don’t like rain isn’t that great.
I just hate the unique smell that comes from indoors on rainy days. In fact, there was a very unpleasant smell wafting from the class. This musty smell. When I’m in charge of something, it reminds me of the house I lived in in my past life and I feel bad.
“It’s vacation soon. What are you going to do?”
“I’m thinking about working part-time.”
I reply to Taeyoung’s words and look out the window. The rain pours down so refreshingly. When vacation comes, there are a lot of things to prepare.
The most important thing, of course, is Suyeon’s performance. festival. I plan to set up Suyeon there. To do that, there are so many things to prepare.
The first thing you have to do is compose music, right? The songs I made aren’t enough to maximize Suyeon’s strengths. That’s why you have to create a song from scratch.
Besides that, there are a lot of things to prepare, starting with stage direction. There are only about 3 months left, but there is no time to idle around.
“And you?”
“I don’t know. I was thinking about going out to have fun, but something tells me I shouldn’t do that, right?”
“mood?”
“Should I call it a hunch? I have a good sense of this kind of thing.”
“okay.”
You have no sense, yet you have good instincts. What a strange guy. It would be great if you could understand the atmosphere just as well. He thinks about that and then chuckles.
“Are you going to Howl Studio today?”
“I have to go.”
Because Won Seong-min asked me to stop by after the school trip. Also, we have to show Taeyoung’s stage footage.
“Oh, what are you going to do with Sileum and the concert?”
“I’m going with my younger brother.”
“Oh, little brother? Does he want to go to our school too?”
Nod your head.
Then Taeyoung also nodded.
“If he’s good enough, it’s worth it. Then will I be able to see your brother then? I’m looking forward to it.”
I furrow my brows slightly at Taeyoung’s words.
What is this, you bastard?
“Why do you expect that?”
“You sing well.”
“Hmm.”
This kid is definitely not interested in Soo-yeon, right? Of course, Suyeon is that cute, but you have to look beyond your child.

“If you mess around, you’ll die.”
“What are you saying, you crazy person? I like older people.”
While we were chatting, the class ended before we knew it. And Taeyoung and I headed to Howl Studio, not the practice room.
“welcome.”
When we arrived at Howl Studio, Seongmin Won welcomed us. After a brief conversation, Kim Tae-young’s performance from the opposition show is played.
Won Seong-min said while watching the video that he found it interesting.
“The song is really fun to sing.”
“Sweet, did I do that?”
On the other hand, Taeyoung Kim muttered as if she couldn’t remember while watching herself playing the air guitar.
“You didn’t do it on purpose, right?”
“No, I just did it because I wanted to do this here. That’s why I don’t really remember what I did on stage. It’s a bit strange to see it like this.”
Taeyoung Kim mutters, “I did this on stage,” as she watches her performance. Are you saying that you perform instinctively?
As expected, you have good sense. The video lasts about 3 minutes and ends. But Won Seong-min said nothing. Instead, he watched us, contemplating something.
Kim Taeyoung and I blink at that sight. How much time has passed? Won Seong-min seemed to have finished worrying and spoke to me and Kim Tae-young.
“It’s vacation time at Seolwon Arts High School soon, right?”
“yes.”
“Then is there anything to do during vacation?”
“I don’t have anything in particular.”
“What about Hajun?”
“I have something else to prepare.”
“Hmm.”
Won Seong-min lets out a groan, as if he is disappointed. And after taking a sip of water, he continued speaking.
“If it’s okay, would you like to work with me during vacation?”
“yes?”
“I’m in a band. But the band decided to do a small project this time. It’s about making a name for myself by working with unknown guest vocalists, something like that.”
“ah.”
“I think it would be good if Taeyoung were to be one of the guest vocalists. And Hajun, I would like to compose together. As you know, it is difficult for many reasons to compose a song alone.”
“······Oh, but we are students?”
“It doesn’t matter. Most of the guest vocalists I decided to work with are amateurs.”
Did you do something like that at Blue Aca? I don’t remember. But if Won Seong-min’s words are true, this is an enormous opportunity. Blue Aka is not that famous in Korea, but it is still a band with a solid fan base.
Above all, it is being recognized abroad as an album with experimental challenges and high perfection. I can’t believe I can work with Blue Aka like that. Taeyoung Kim thought for a moment and then said.
“I want to do it.”
And looks at me.
As if asking, “What are you going to do?”
“When do I have to start doing that?”
“I plan to make a song as a project once a month. It’s a long-term project. Ha-jun can join whenever he wants. On the other hand, Tae-young doesn’t have time, so it would be better to work on it during vacation.”
“Then I will join you later.”
Festivals come first now. But I don’t want to miss that opportunity. It’s a long-term project, so you can join later. Won Seong-min nodded at my words.
“The goal of this project is to have a total of 12 people work on it, then rent a hall and hold a concert at the end of next year.”
“Sounds like fun.”
It will be a small concert, but the opportunity to perform at such a concert does not come easily. Above all, Blue Aca has a clear fan base, so there is no need to worry about the audience.
“Then shall we start practicing today?”
Seongmin Won asks Taeyoung Kim. Then Taeyoung Kim nodded her head. It’s the work of Taeyoung Kim and Blue Aka. This is something that never happened in my previous life.
Very interesting. Indeed, what kind of chemistry will Blue Aka and Taeyoung show? I spoke to Taeyoung Kim, who was very excited.
“To work hard.”
“I guess so.”

“how is it?”
Suyeon asks me with a nervous expression. He frowns at that question. Then Suyeon swallows her saliva.
Right now, I’m checking the homework I gave Suyeon. I thought about what to say and then sighed.
Then Su-yeon’s expression hardens even more.
He looked at it and said with a smile.
“Did you work hard?”
“huh.”
Suyeon nodded. Even though I only listened to the recorder, I can see Suyeon’s efforts. In that short period of time, Sooyeon filled the capacity of the recorder.
And the further you go, the better you become at singing. As expected, Sooyeon’s potential is no joke.
It may seem lacking right now, but if it is refined, it will become an unbelievable monster.
“Okay. We’ll just have to keep going like this.”
“really?”
“huh.”
“Then what about the lyrics?”
The song I worked on this time is called 『The Reason I Left You』. A classic ballad made while struggling to achieve popular success.
And Sooyeon wrote the lyrics accordingly. However, the lyrics are a little different from what I thought. When I made this song, the image I had in mind was that of someone leaving because they deserve it.
However, the lyrics that Sooyeon wrote are a little different. No, the middle is similar. If you compare me, it’s too much for you, so I’m leaving. It’s similar up to this point.
But after that, the content changes. I’m leaving right now. But I haven’t given up. I will get you back again. That content was added.
Lyrics full of confidence.
Not bad.
“I need to refine it a bit, but it’s okay.”
“really?!”
Suyeon smiled and was happy. She looks at the scene and types her lyrics into a notepad. Hmm, I really think Sooyeon writes lyrics better than me. Something hurts her.
As I type this, I explain my future plans to Suyeon.
“For now, let’s just leave this work as is and when it’s over, let’s start working on a new song right away.”
“really?”
“Yes, but this time, instead of working on a pre-made song, we will create a song from scratch.”
“What if from the beginning?”
“I’m going to make a song based on the story you want to tell.”
“So, it’s a song just for me.”
“yes.”
I nod my head roughly and check the parts of the lyrics that need to be modified. However, the explanation did not stop.
“And I’m going to go to the festival with that song.”
“festival?”
“There’s a festival at school in October. I’m going to be at the festival with the song I’ve been working on.”
“·····Am I going up there?”
“huh.”
Nod your head. Suyeon looks worried for a moment. Then, he glanced at me and asked carefully.
“Is that person at the festival too?”
“that person?”
Who are you talking about?
“That person who called ‘Blame’.”
“Ah, calm. You know.”
Are you conscious of Han Goyo? If so, that’s great. At every festival, Hangoyo was treated as the main character of the festival. But this time it will be a little difficult.
Because the person who will receive the biggest spotlight at this festival will not be Han Goyo, but Suyeon. I’m sorry for quiet, but I will make it happen.
“I will work hard.”
Suyeon spoke as if she had made up her mind for something.
