Chapter 57
First, we decided to trust Writer Kang.
She even promised to persuade us, if she doesn’t, it’s her fault.
“How about arranging it in a more acoustic and emotional atmosphere?”
We were all surprised.
Ryu Bo-ra… she was the first to actively give an opinion.
Originally, Ryu Bo-ra only showed likes and dislikes when other people gave opinions.
I don’t think so, I think it’s good, like this.
But she was the first to give a precise opinion.
Not only me, but Kim Geum seemed more moved.
Well, they’ve been friends since they were young.
But… they’re completely opposite, what kind of relationship…?
I’ll have to ask later.
“That sounds like a good idea.”
“It would be better if the acoustic guitar was played!”
“Is there anyone here who can play the guitar-”
Kim Geum was about to scold Yeon Juhong, but hesitated.
“Sister Cheong… surely… surely you know how to play?”
It seems like she’s wondering if she can do this too.
She seems to be begging me to say no….
“I know how to play.”
Unfortunately, I knew how to play the guitar.
In my previous life, I tried my best and lived hard.
“How much?”
“Just play it moderately….”
“Play it right now. This song.”
“Where is the guitar here!”
I was disgusted by the absurd demand.
Am I an ATM, just press a button and everything comes out.
“Weren’t there guitars in the dorm… living room?”
You’re saying that again?
At Ryu Bo-ra’s point, Yeon Juhong quickly ran out to the living room.
And exactly 15 seconds later, an acoustic guitar was in my hands.
“No, this…. wasn’t this for decoration? Even the tuning….”
“Writer Kang thought someone might play it, so she did everything.”
That’s why I hated the Mnet guys.
Usually, they do their work sloppily enough to go around the spot.
I have to tag [Yoon Cheong] in my part lyrics caption, but they always tag [All].
The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get.
They can’t do anything important, but they have unnecessary meticulous corners in these places.
“But can you play without sheet music?”
Yeon Juhong asked curiously.
“Do you have it?”
Kim Geum asked as if she knew everything,
“If you can play, that’s annoying.”
Ryu Bo-ra was sulking again on her own.
Do it, don’t do it.
“…I know how to.”
It won’t be accurate, but if you listen and roughly follow the chords.
“It’s annoying….”
“Do I not do it?”
“No. Please do.”
I checked the guitar here and there.
The tuning is really done.
Just as I was about to play the guitar,
“Hold on.”
Writer Kang came in.
“Do you have something?”
“No. Yoon Cheong trainee, are you going to play the guitar?”
“Oh yes. Is that not okay?”
“No. If you’re going to play, go outside and play. Let’s get some footage with this.”
Ah, I’m really burdened.
The work was getting too big.
I haven’t played the guitar for so long that I wasn’t very confident.
I’m not going to be embarrassed because I said I could do it.
“It’s good! Sister, go out and try it right away!”
Sigh.
In the end, we went out to the living room.
I sat down on the living room sofa. And I roughly learned the chords while listening to the song.
Since it’s come to this.
“Are you ready?”
I’ll do my best!

▶ [│Preview of Episode 8-♬Yoon Cheong’s reversal charm☆ Acoustic guitar skills too?! <Let’s Leave>]
Wow, a musical preview came out
Huh, acoustic guitar?
Acoustic guitar????? Yoon Cheong???? Cheong guitar?!!?!
Ah… I hate it when they play the guitar awkwardlyㅋㅋㅋ Just singㅠ
Let’s Leave? What song is this? Can someone tell meㅠ
└Are you a kid? How do you not know this song, this masterpiece…
└└?ㅅ? Is it good to be old?
└└└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Isn’t Yoon Cheong a main vocal? She can just sing, why does she have to play the guitar too?
AhㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠI’m going to accept Cheong guitar for now
But why is she playing the guitar? Is there another mission?
└Didn’t you see the guerrilla concert preview?
Reactions of worry, expectations, and even antipathy.
In each reaction, people eventually pressed the play button on the video.
Everywhere you step
Leave your sorrow
When you return
I’ll give you my happiness
And as soon as the very short climax and Yoon Cheong’s performance ended.
Damn
Wow
?????????????????????
The reaction exploded.
ㄸㄸㄸㄸㄸWhat, why is she so goodㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Wow, I was just watching the fancam and this is crazy
Where did the kid who was scolding earlier go? Come out
I’ve been a long-time fan of the Nakdong River Band..^^ Thanks to Yoon Cheong, I was immersed in old memories.. This song seems easy.. but it’s also a difficult song.. I’m looking forward to it..^^
She should come out as a solo, not a group;;;;
The accompaniment is less than 30 seconds, but she just tears it up
It’s the first time I’ve heard this song, but I love it Yoon Cheong is the best
Sister, I’m thirty-seven, but now I’m seven years old, baby, I’ll call you sister
└Please do it moderately
Along with that, the expectations for the main performance also grew.
Of course… this preview came out after the guerrilla concert was already over.
***
The next afternoon.
Kim Ryeo-yu came back much later than expected.
But her expression was not very good.
Didn’t she go to rest? Why does she look so unhappy?
“…Doesn’t Ryeo-yu sister look a bit unhappy?”
Yeon Juhong seemed to think the same, she whispered to me.
I nodded my head.
It doesn’t feel good.
Anyway, since we were going to perform together, I couldn’t help but speak up when I saw her looking upset.
“Ryeo-yu, you heard about the guerrilla concert from Writer Kang, right?”
More than anything, the camera was on.
Since the suspicion about Jo Hee-on had not completely disappeared in public opinion yet, I didn’t want to create more discord here.
There are already many people who doubt the relationship between Kim Ryeo-yu and me, so there’s no need to give them a reason in front of the camera.
“…I heard. You and I are on the same team.”
“Yeah, Juhong, Bo-ra, and Geum are all on the same team.”
“You decided on the song.”
Oh, there was no backlash against being on the same team as I thought.
…Did she already hear everything and that’s why?
“Yeah. The song we’re going to do is <Let’s Leave> by senior Nakdong River. Do you know the song?”
“…I know.”
“Will it be okay, even with this song?”
“It’s already decided. There’s nothing I can do. It’s okay.”
Huh?
The four of us glanced at each other.
Kim Ryeo-yu… was surprisingly docile.
It was fortunate, but why does it feel so uncomfortable?
Our expected lines were,
“Guys, but… Can’t we decide on the song together? It was just one day… Can’t you wait for that?”
or,
“That song… Doesn’t it suit me a bit…? Can I ask why you chose this song?”
That’s because the taste of Kim Ryeo-yu we’ve seen so far and this song didn’t match at all.
Kim Ryeo-yu wanted to do only what she was good at.
If you’re human, of course, you want to do what you’re good at.
But Kim Ryeo-yu was a bit extreme.
Only sexy concept, if not, a drop of sexy in other concepts, she only insisted on this.
There’s nothing wrong with a sexy concept, but if you’re an idol, you have to digest various concepts.
“But, this isn’t confirmed. If you want another song, you can change it at any time.”
“…No. I also like this song.”
She likes this song?
It was unexpected, but it was a relief.
“Did you distribute the parts?”
“No, I think it would be better to do it with you.”
“…Thank you.”
Did the sun rise from the west today…?
We were just shivering because we couldn’t adapt.
However.
In fact, Kim Ryeo-yu had a situation too.
***
“Please sit down.”
Actually, Kim Ryeo-yu didn’t go to rest yesterday.
She was called by CEO Hong and went to the Colors headquarters.
At first, I thought she was called for encouragement.
Originally, CEO Hong was a soft person and was not harsh to trainees or artists.
But it wasn’t.
“Recently, there seems to be a lot of controversy related to trainee Kim Ryeo-yu.”
“That’s all rumors-”
“I’m not talking about the stories floating around in the world. I’m talking about the rumors that come out within the company.”
“!”
Something was strange.
Kim Ryeo-yu glanced at Director Kim, who was called with her, with anxious eyes.
But Director Kim was also strange today.
Director Kim, who usually countered well against CEO Hong, was unusually quiet today.
He didn’t even seem to think about raising his head.
“The contract termination with trainee Jo Hee-on this time, there was a lot of talk about it.”
“That’s because Hee-on’s health…”
“Do you think I’m easy?”
“…Yes?”
Kim Ryeo-yu was startled.
It wasn’t just because CEO Hong, who had never spoken to trainees, spoke informally.
For the first time, she looked scary.
“I left it alone thinking that they would solve it internally.”
CEO Hong said that and glared at Director Kim.
“They keep crossing the line.”
Could it be… Could it be that she knows everything?
Kim Ryeo-yu was getting more and more anxious.
Does she know the whole story about the peanut flour incident?
Did Yoon Cheong tell her?
No. There’s no way.
“I asked the trainees who moved to other agencies. About trainee Kim Ryeo-yu. And about this incident.”
As soon as the words “trainees who moved to other agencies” came out, Kim Ryeo-yu flinched.
Kim Ryeo-yu had been putting all sorts of pressure on the new trainees who looked likely to debut.
Of course, many trainees left Colors because of that pressure.
That’s what Kim Ryeo-yu originally wanted.
“But everyone said it would naturally be because of you.”
