Raising a Neglected Singer-Songwriter Episode 75

75. Fifteen billion

“Hey, Yonggo Judge… sir?”

As Cha Seong-jun stammered and asked, the cake man opened his mouth.

“···Congratulations on first place, Seongjun. And the cake is delicious···.”

After a while.

Yonggo, who had returned after washing his face clean, sat on the sofa.

“I’m sorry for causing inconvenience to you even though you came to congratulate me.”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Brave Cat!”

When Cha Sung-jun and Oh Hae-soo, who unintentionally became the main culprits of the cake terror attack, bowed their heads and apologized, Yong-go waved his hand as if he was sorry.

“It’s okay. Well, that could be true. Back when I was at the top, I got cake-baptized so many times.”

The two people sighed in relief at the generous understanding.

Meanwhile, Yonggo, who had been watching the scene, opened his mouth with a determined look in his eyes.

“By the way, Seongjun. Actually, I came to see you for another reason. If you don’t mind, can I ask you something?”

“Oh, I’m sorry, I was the one who did it. Feel free to ask questions.”

“Thank you. Then···”

Yonggo mentioned the time when Sungjun was making the rounds of greeting people in the waiting room in the morning.

“Do you remember when I told you that our group Mimyosoyo was on the verge of disbandment?”

“Yes. I heard you’re considering a final single…”

When Seongjun answered carefully,

“So, by any chance… would Sungjun be able to make our kids’ last single?”

Yonggo bowed his head and asked.

‘Oh, nice!’

Cha Seong-jun swallows his inner elasticity.

In order to clear the special mission of ‘Sell a song to an idol group’, I was considering Mimyosonyeo as the number one selling target.

However, it would be a shame to go to a team that is in a bad mood and just say, “Hey guys, buy this song~”…

It was a situation where I was left with the homework of how to approach it well, as I was worried that it would seem quite embarrassing and pointless.

‘But luckily, the other person made the request first.’

It saved me a lot of trouble in many ways.

“It’s my first time doing an idol song, so I feel a bit pressured… but I think it will be a good opportunity for me.”

“That means…”

“If you trust me and leave it to me, I’ll give it a try. Hehe. Oh, but in return, can I watch senior Yonggo, the hit song maker, compose a song first?”

“Oh, of course! I’ll grab you and invite you to my studio! And introduce you to the subtle girls!”

Yonggo was delighted by Chi Sungjun’s words and grabbed his hand.

My clenched fists are trembling…

It was clear how desperate and nervous he was.

“···That’s what it was like that day.”

Cha Seong-jun nodded and ended his recollection.

Anyway, I received a request to do a song for an idol group.

The eye contact mission during the live broadcast was also successfully completed.

Thanks to that, I also received silver coins as a reward, but I don’t plan on using them right away.

Likewise, the use of bronze coins accumulated through logging in will also be temporarily held.

because-

‘It’s almost the end of the month!’

On the last day, the 31st,

Finally, the first settlement money after debut is received.

And I plan to FLEX some of that settlement money to [the store].

Among the wishlist items I was eyeing to purchase, there are some that have stats and skills that could be useful for this idol song composition mission.

So, you should save Song Coin and invest in it.

one side,

When I got home and checked my phone, I saw a mountain of congratulatory messages from countless people.

– Congratulations, Seongjun! I’m even more overwhelmed by the fact that you won three crowns on your debut stage. Oh, even though you’re busy, you’re eating well, right? No matter what a person does, it’s all about food.

First of all, starting with Seol Hye-yoon,

– Congratulations, Sungjun oppa! By the way, Seok oppa said that you were only going to do music shows this one week. Is that true? Oh, by the way, the release of “Jinnungkaebi” has been postponed by one week to the first week of February, so please take note.

Yuna,

– Little brother, I watched the whole thing live on TV with Mom and Dad. You must be so busy that you don’t even have time to use the massage chair!

Sister Cha Seong,

– Congratulations on winning three awards! Lately, actors around you have been asking me a lot who Sungjun is. So, is there anything set for filming our next song’s MV?

And then the preliminary round.

In addition, there were friends Kang Seung-wook and Kim Ho-su who asked why their names were omitted during the acceptance speech.

MXM Entertainment boss and vice boss Choi Dae-heon and Baek Seok,

Ryu Young-seok and Choi Kang-san, who met through ‘Who’s the King’

MV director Choi Seok-yong and BJ Chang-hyuk,

From [Cheonma Hwansang] author Bi-hyung to [Nahonbul] author Jo Jae-joong.

The precious relationships I have built up over the years have sent me their congratulations.

“Oh my, even replying is work.”

Cha Sung-jun sticks out his tongue after being hit by a message bomb.

However, contrary to his crying, the corners of his mouth were turned up into a smile.

Cha Seong-jun spent the rest of his day writing thank you notes and making phone calls.

Meanwhile, another anecdote from the Ennet waiting room.

The video of Sungjun’s ‘waiting room reaction right after winning first place’, filmed by Cody Wee Woo, has been uploaded to the official YouTube channel.

The footage was truly spectacular.

Seongjun’s bright smile at the surprise celebration and Oh Hae-soo throwing a cake at his smiling face.

Seongjun avoids it again, and Yonggo gets unluckily showered with cake when the door suddenly opens.

Even the dizzying expressions of Sungjun and Oh Hae-soo upon seeing such a dragon.

It feels urgent and vivid.

– Sungjun, how agile you areㅋㅋㅋ

– Yonggo came to congratulate me but got showered with cake for no reason lol It was so funny lol

– But I guess the cake was delicious lol

– The expression on the manager’s face after the accident was the bestㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– How did the person who took this photo keep taking photos without letting go of the camera? In such a funny situation lol

Fans who watched the waiting room video filled with joy and sorrow started laughing and sharing the video with others.

in result,

“What?! Why is this in Ingeup-dong?!”

The waiting room meme and the eye contact meme are both uploaded to YouTube at the same time.

Once again, Sungjun’s name and face became known to the public.

A character with crazy singing skills and a silly charm.

Recently, as the number of employees who value work-life balance has increased, many companies are focusing on various in-house welfare benefits.

Corporate welfare has evolved to the point where benefits that were once considered “wow”, such as in-house gyms, cafes, and game rooms, have now become commonplace and available to everyone.

For example, some gaming companies rent out camper vans and camping equipment to employees who want to enjoy active leisure activities.

Some telecommunications companies also provide congratulatory support and holidays to employees who declare that they will remain single.

And, the beauty industry’s mid-sized company ‘Saehyang Cosmetics’ also planned an incredible event to boost employees’ morale to welcome the new year.

That’s right, it will be a ‘healing concert’!

The general affairs team, which was ordered by the founder of Hilcon and the new fragrance tower, ‘Jaedragon’ Han Jae-ryong, worked hard for three months…

On Wednesday the 31st, the last day of January, the healing concert was finally held.

As it is called a ‘concert’, the location is quite reasonable: Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul.

“To celebrate the new year, we will begin the Saehyangin festival, the ‘Healing Concert’!”

Following the declaration by Saehyang’s CEO, Han Jae-ryong, Kim Ok-sun, deputy manager of the general affairs team who was in charge of the entire event today, took the microphone.

“First order is-”

After that, the event proceeded according to the order of the meal.

First, we opened with various mini games such as team tug-of-war, shoe archery, curling, and color plate flipping.

This was followed by a lecture on ‘mind care’ by an external guest lecturer and an in-house talent show.

And when I was hungry, a high-end lunch box appeared.

It was full of programs that fit the purpose of ‘healing’ to promote harmony and recharge among employees.

“Hilcon… It’s pretty good, isn’t it?”

“That’s right, the composition is also rich. The general affairs team must have worked hard.”

At first, the employees were not very happy about it, saying, “What is this ‘healing concert’?” But as time passed, smiles began to appear on their faces one by one. That’s what an in-house event is all about.

One, there was a different order they truly desired.

Of course,

“So who’s the singer coming today?”

“This time it’s A-class again??”

“What, you’re an audition contestant for ‘Who’s the King’?”

The singer’s congratulatory stage was the highlight of the event.

Moreover, because the general affairs team kept the identity of the invited singer a secret until the day of the event, the employees’ impatience and anticipation were bound to reach a peak.

And finally,

“Okay, next up! To celebrate our Saehyang’s healing concert today, we’ve managed to invite the hottest singer in the music industry! Please look at the scoreboard!”

As Kim Ok-soon’s introduction made the Jangchung Gymnasium seem to be shaking, all of the Saehyang employees’ eyes turned to the large electronic scoreboard.

Then, a familiar man’s face appeared on the screen.

He was definitely a very handsome guy who was in charge of the company parking lot… Huh?

“Huh?!! Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?!!!!!!”

The employees who realized his identity belatedly covered their mouths and screamed.

*

···What is this feeling right now?

Buck cham.

Pleasure.

yearning.

Shrug.

A strange feeling that cannot be described in one word,

It makes Cha Seong-jun’s heart turbulent as he looks at his former coworkers.

The audience watching Sungjun like that also erupted in an uproarious response.

“Huh? Huh huh?!! Seongjun-ssi… the Seongjun-ssi from the general affairs team?!!!”

“What, the guest singer was Sungjun?!!! Awesome!!!!”

“No, I heard you’re going to be a Homme model this time. The CEO personally instructed you to do so.”

“That’s what I mean when I say that in life, you never know what’s going to happen next!”

There was no one in the company who did not know about Sung-Jun, who became the hottest rising star in South Korea just two months after leaving the company.

For a while, there wasn’t a single lunch table without him being mentioned.

“It’s been a while, this is Seongjun! It’s a new feeling to see you all again like this.”

As Sungjun greeted them, a thunderous cheer erupted from the audience.

“Okay! I’ll sing a song to my fellow seniors and juniors!”

The first song is, of course, ‘DMLC’, which is currently the best in music charts.

This time I’m using only a handheld microphone without a guitar.

“Drink me like coffee~”

As Sungjun starts singing, people start standing in various places in the audience.

They were Cha Seong-jun’s colleagues who joined the company at the same time.

“Whew~ Our Sungjun is awesome!!! And with the money we received for today’s event, let’s treat him!!!”

When one of his classmates whistled and shouted, Sungjun made a heart with his fingers in return.

The two people’s playful appearance caused laughter to erupt in the hall.

The atmosphere is getting more and more heated.

Then, when the MR of the second song, ‘Jaywalking’, started playing, more people were standing than before.

These were employees who had some work-related interaction with Cha Seong-jun.

“It would be a little easier if I could see your heart like a traffic light~”

“I was so annoyed that I ended up jaywalking!”

Employees clapping and singing along to the chorus of Sungjun’s song.

It was an event that really became a concert hall.

Cha Sung-jun, who was in the mood, quickly finished singing the third song, ‘Star’.

I was taking a moment to catch my breath because I was more excited than usual.

“Encore! Encore!!”

Encores pour in from the audience.

“Encore! Encore!! Encore!!! Encore!!!!”

The continued cheers filled the Jangchung Gymnasium.

The sound of that huge air was so loud it almost sounded like a speaker.

“An encore… Ah, originally we were only supposed to sing three songs…”

“AAAAAHHH!!!!”

Sighs poured out as Cha Seong-jun became speechless.

One, you have to listen to Korean until the end!

“As a newcomer, I have a sense of duty. How could I just sing three songs and leave? I will sing all of my original songs today!”

“Whaaaaaahhhhhhh! Seongjun! Seongjun!! Seongjun!!!”

A thunderous roar erupted at the grand decision,

Han Jae-ryong, who was sitting in the VIP seats along with the general affairs team, also smiled happily.

“The next song is called ‘Eraser’-”

Cha Seong-jun started his encore performance amidst thunderous cheers.

So in the end,

The healing concert, which was scheduled to end at 5 o’clock, ended an hour later at 6 o’clock.

*

And the next day.

“One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand······ hour, fifteen billion···!”

Finally! The first monthly settlement amount was deposited into Cha Seong-jun’s account.
