God of Music Chapter 3

Chapter 3

The dress code for the planning team was casual clothes, but it was laughable to go casual on the first day .

KangYoon wore a suit that fit him perfectly, and he checked various parts while looking at the mirror .

“Is it strange?”

“No, not a bit . My oppa is the best . ”

HeeYoon did a thumbs up from behind KangYoon while looking delighted . The long legs and wide shoulders accentuated KangYoon in the suit .

“I’ll go first today . Be careful on your way to school . Today is dialysis day right? Don’t forget . ”

“Yeah . Oppa, do your best at work . ”

It took a long time for KangYoon, who lived in a poor district on the northern side of the river, to go to a well-known street on the southern side of the river . [1] With him having to ride the bus and the train, commuting to work was difficult .

Using the temporary card key he received, he entered the company and headed straight to the chairman’s office .

“Welcome . I was waiting for you . ”

“Good morning, sir . ”

Chairman Won JinMoon greeted him nicely . Drinking the tea brought by the secretary, Chairman Won JinMoon spoke .

“So today’s your first day . JooAh will be here in the afternoon so look around the company until then . ”

“I understand . ”

“I never touch anything after I give someone a task . Instead, if the result is bad…”

Chairman Won JinMoon sliced across his neck .

“Haha . Of course, it’s not like I’m going to kill you for real, so don’t worry . ”

“I’ll do my best . ”

Looking at Chairman Won JinMoon, who was laughing without restraint, KangYoon thought of his personality .

‘He really doesn’t touch anything after he gives someone work . However, if the result doesn’t satisfy him, there would be severe consequences . Likewise, a good reward would follow from a good result . This was the secret to how Chairman Won JinMoon survived in this industry . ’

He always had capable people nearby him . They never felt the need to leave him because they received what they deserved . KangYoon thought that he should learn this point from him . The tea time ended and KangYoon was lead to his office by the secretary . The office was on the 5th floor .

“It’s here . ”

At the place where the secretary opened the door was a name tag with the words ‘Team Leader of the Planning and Management Team, Lee KangYoon’ . And he had his own room . He was satisfied with the neat table, the resources on the bookshelf, the TV, the computer, and everything else .

“Look around the room until lunch . I will contact you if Miss JooAh comes . ”

The secretary went back up to the chairman’s office . KangYoon, who earned free time until lunch, started looking around his office . From the programs in the computer to the alb.u.m resources, he found the videos of the training room, and snacks too . There was not a single thing missing . He could feel with his skin the position of Planning and Management Team Leader of MG Entertainment .

Looking through some resources, KangYoon opened the video where the trainees were practicing . The video, which was recorded by CCTV, showed trainees undergoing various training, including dance training and vocal training . Looking at those scenes, KangYoon became curious .

‘Shall I have a look?’

They say, ‘strike the iron while it’s hot’, so KangYoon went straight to the training room . It was a training lecture room on the 3rd floor where vocal training was currently being held . KangYoon lightly opened the door and went inside . He saw that there were many youths, in their early teens to the late teens, who were in the middle of listening to the lecture .

“MinSung . I think you are lacking a bit of abdominal strength in that part . Let’s tense up a little bit more . ”

“The reason why you can’t help but leave me—”

A male trainee was tensing his abdominal muscles while singing, however…

‘Huh? This time it’s grey . ’

From the male trainee, a dull grey was permeating . The dull color made KangYoon crease his eyebrows . It was a color which had a bad feeling to it .

“Han MinSung . That’s not it . You’re too tense . Again!!”

“The reason why you can’t help but leave me—”

Light came out from the trainee again . However, it was still grey . Still, it wasn’t as dull as the previous time .

“MinSung . It’s getting better . Again!!”

“The reason why you can’t help but leave me—”

The grey light became thinner and thinner . KangYoon was curious about this phenomenon . The dull grey thinned out and eventually became white, and the white spread out gently .

“Good!! Just like that . Let’s go to the next part . ”

“I love you but—”

Perhaps he grasped onto that feeling, the white light from the male trainee filled the surroundings more and more . When it became white, a good song resounded . The gentle sound, which was spreading to its surrounding, sounded alright .

“Good . Let’s rest for a bit . ”

When the resting time came, KangYoon quietly left . This ability to see light, he seems to have grasped it .

‘Good singing spreads white light . The dull grey light, it would be safe to a.s.sume that it comes out if the singing is horrible . When the light spreads to others, that person would get affected and react . In the end, what kind of light one produces, or what influence it gives to others – I need to find how this works . ’

To see the effects of singing – this was an amazing ability . Good singing and influential singing had differences .

‘Ahh… Dear G.o.d…’

KangYoon, for the first time in his life, looked for G.o.d and thanked him . He never looked for G.o.d in his despair, but now, when he had received the thing he needed the most, he automatically looked for G.o.d .

In his new life, G.o.d gave him a present which he needed the most .

*Viiiin–* *Viiiiin–*

At that moment, his phone started ringing .

“Yes . I will be back right away . ”

KangYoon went to the chaiman’s office after being contacted to come to the chairman’s office since JooAh came .

.

.

.

JooAh, was a singer who had a short height – not even reaching 160 cm – but had long legs and a thin waist – a good body ratio . It was the result of harsh maintenance in her ordinary life . She was still 19 . She, who hid her childishness with makeup, suspiciously looked towards KangYoon .

“This is my planning producer?”

“Nice to meet you . My name is Lee KangYoon . ”

“… . . ”

JooAh met KangYoon for the first time, but she didn’t hide her suspicions . She scanned him from top down, and looked towards to the chairman again .

“Chairman . Can’t I just do it with JiWan-oppa?”

“JooAh . ”

“You know me . If I do it with a new person, it takes a lot of time . You said that this alb.u.m will go to j.a.pan . It’s such an important alb.u.m, but if I need to match with a new person, then how much time would it take? The result is uncertain too . ”

It was JooAh’s declaration of I-can’t-do-it-with-this-person . However, Chairman Won JinMoon shook his head .

“JooAh, we decided on this after careful considerations . We chose the person we thought was the most suited to this alb.u.m, so…”

“Chairman . You know that I never went against you in the past, right? But I don’t understand you this time . You’re tell me to work with a new, unverified person . Did I do something wrong?”

JooAh was really stubborn herself . The alb.u.m which will be printed in j.a.pan decided her very existence as a singer . But to work with an unverified newbie… She worked for 5 years as a singer, and she was one of the best, so JooAh couldn’t accept it .

However, Chairman Won JinMoon drew the line .

“JooAh . You believe my eyes, right?”

“… . . ”

“This is the most suitable person for this alb.u.m . Trust this uncle once and do it . ”[2]

“But, uncle…”

“Stop there . I won’t allow any more objections . ”

In the end, JooAh could only smack her lips, open the door, and run away . KangYoon bitterly said while looking at the door .

“She doesn’t seem to like me . ”

“Hahaha . How is it, Team Leader Lee? JooAh has a stubborn personality . She’s pretty strong to her opinions . Can you topple that stubbornness?”

KangYoon was having fun . A top cla.s.s singer must have a side like that . He replied without hesitation:

“It’s interesting . A singer must have stubbornness . Please leave it to me . ”

“Good, I will trust you . From this moment on, you’re the top person regarding JooAh’s debut in j.a.pan . I will not allow anyone to touch anything . Then, please work hard . ”

Chairman Won JinMoon stood up from his seat and patted KangYoon’s shoulder while ordering the stop of all interference . KangYoon said goodbye and left .

‘It’s starting for real now . ’

While walking towards the office, inside KangYoon’s head, various future plans were taking form .
