‘This kid… composed music?’

The child who received the most attention in the AC Flight 2505 accident.

There would be no one who was at the Singapore National Hospital at that time who did not know this child.

What if it was someone who heard this child play Troimerai?

Kwon Seol-ha recalled the memory of that time and looked at the child in confusion. And the officials of ⌜Moonlight⌟ also looked.

I had a strange feeling from the time we talked on the phone, but I had no idea it would be like this.

‘The song he composed… ‘Are you asking me to call you?’

Many thoughts passed through Kwon Seol-ha’s mind.

From the perspective of the entertainment world, a pretty plausible picture may emerge.

A singer who suffered the same accident as the child of hope.

A song that the two of them created together.

This is a story that will make anyone in the entertainment world drool.

He said he had experienced such things countless times.

Entertainment companies make plans, and singers sing.

There were times when a lie had to be cleverly hidden between the truth and the truth.

There were times when I felt heartbroken seeing the public being so enthusiastic about it.

In that reality, Kwon Seol-ha poured all of his 20s into the entertainment industry.

There were times when I had to do dance music that I didn’t want to do, and there were times when I had to go on entertainment shows and play the role of an ‘unsuccessful singer’.

Because the agency said I had to do it that way.

Because if you do that, you can actually make money.

Kwon Seol-ha played someone other than himself.

I forced a smile, acted calm, and pretended like nothing was wrong.

but···.

However, they all failed.

No matter how hard I tried, I wasn’t recognized.

When I stood on stage alone, looking at the empty audience, I felt loneliness.

Even though he went to a crowded broadcasting station, no one recognized him.

He was a loner who gave advice.

I was confident in saying that I worked harder than anyone else.

But in reality, that didn’t matter.

Change the concept, sing a new song, and go on a variety show again.

The public was not curious about Kwon Seol-ha’s songs.

I only enjoyed the gossip about being the ‘3rd place singer in the cable TV audition’.

A joke.

The label of a failure continued to follow Kwon Seol-ha.

No matter how much I sang, there was something that didn’t change.

Then I suddenly got tired.

The accident of AC Flight 2505 may have been the trigger.

Dreams were beautiful when they were dreams.

It seemed like just challenging myself for years and not giving up was enough.

I looked at the child giving advice.

This child seemed to glow.

Passionate eyes, confident expression.

He looks overflowing with confidence.

Kwon Seol-ha looked down at himself using crutches. It didn’t look like he would fit in with that kid.

My resolve did not waver.

A dream whose light has already faded.

Kwon Seol-ha was too tired to pursue it.

* * *

“thing. Have some coffee and go home quickly. Don’t you know that this is a nuisance? “No matter how much we contacted them, is it really necessary to go this far to visit a sick person?”

The old man roughly put down four coffee cups on the outdoor table. Then she hurried into the house.

I quickly looked at Assistant Manager Charina.

And with your eyes.

‘Sir, are you saying this is a restless seat?’

I asked, but there was no response from Charina.

The assistant manager looked at the coffee cup carefully and said, “Oh? “I think this is the composer’s,” he said, pushing a cup towards me.

Dark brown tea.

A deep, savory scent.

I couldn’t control my curiosity and when I put my mouth to it, it turned out to be coix seed tea.

‘Is it delicious?’

Meanwhile, Kwon Seol-ha gave us further explanation.

“sorry. My father has a grumbling side when he sees people in the entertainment industry. You’re just upset because I got hurt. But please don’t look at it too badly. You prepare separate drinks for children like this. Does it fit your mouth?”

“The flavor is very deep. “I don’t think it’s necessarily a child’s drink?”

“How did you find out? My father stir-fried coix radish himself. “I’m glad it suits you.”

“It’s not a joke, you can do business. “Isn’t this the worst coix tea I’ve ever had?”

“Then I’ll have to ask you to cum a little later. “Would you like to take it?”

“Then I am so grateful.”

I am lucky enough to eat it.

He laughed when he saw me recommending it.

The atmosphere has become quite friendly.

Manager Park Hoon did not miss this timing.

“It’s no different because I think the song ⌜TEST⌟ written by composer Han Seo-jin here goes well with singer Seol-ha Kwon’s vocals.”

Meanwhile, Kwon Seol-ha’s answer was like a knife.

“As I said, I have no intention of becoming a singer again. Even though you’ve come a long way, I still have nothing to say. I’m really sorry.”

“······.”

“By the way.”

Kwon Seolha rested his chin and looked at me intently. A gentle smile. She was a warm person.

“You really wrote the song? Seeing that the label is pushing you this much, it seems like your skills are outstanding. So cool. I’m a little jealous too. What song did you write?”

“If you’re curious, how about listening to it yourself?”

“······.”

Kwon Seol-ha had never heard my song yet. According to Manager Park Hoon, it was a bit difficult to send the music without any effort since we don’t have an agency at the moment. It seemed like they were very concerned about music being leaked.

After hearing my suggestion, Kwon Seolha paused for a moment and then shook his head.

“no. are you okay. “I don’t think it’s necessary.”

“Even if all you want to do is listen? If you like it…”

“Then you might be greedy. But that’s it. Even if I sing that song, the chances of it being popular are slim. I don’t know what ⌜Moonlight⌟ was thinking when they chose me, but this could be the worst move. because···.”

I received Kwon Seol-ha’s words first.

“Because he’s an unknown singer?”

“······ I know it well. “This will be a big disadvantage.”

“But I also happen to be unknown. To be exact, he is a rookie. If we keep going like this, we might get good results. As soon as I heard my sister’s vocals, I thought she was the perfect person for my song. I’m serious about this. And vocalists as big as my sister are rare in our country.”

“······.”

Kwon Seol-ha’s expression looks a little surprised.

She smiled with difficulty.

“Thank you for your words. I might have had a little more strength if I had a composer like you around me. But now I’m so tired. “I don’t have the strength to stand on stage again.”

“Then this is it.”

“huh?”

I showed Kwon Seol-ha the NewTube video I had been watching all the way to Gangneung.

After the AC 2505 accident, there is a video of a person dragging his painful body on stage and singing.

It was a video of Kwon Seol-ha singing while sitting on a chair at a music festival in Malaysia.

“This…is there a video?”

“You came back to Korea late because of this performance. And in my opinion… “I don’t look like someone who has a hard time standing on stage.”

In fact, singer Kwon Seol-ha was very bright in the video. Although she was unable to move due to an injured leg, she ended the performance safely by responding to the audience and asking for an encore song. She had a smile on her face until she was helped off the stage by her security at the end.

A person like this has decided to retire?

That was a very strange thing.

“This was my job, so I just did my best. It was my last performance. It was also the time to break up with ⌜QY⌟. I wanted to be a wonderful person at least to the end. “That’s it.”

Manager Park Hoon and Assistant Manager Charina also began to offer a few words. The details of the contract also went back and forth for a while. Let’s work on just this one song together first. After that, I will meet the conditions as best as possible. This time, with ⌜Moonlight⌟, I want to create a song that is worthy of being a song, regardless of box office success.

Nevertheless, Kwon Seol-ha remained firm.

“sorry. And now, you know I can’t even walk very well, right? This is also a big risk. I was told it would take 6 months to complete rehabilitation, but I may still have to use crutches during that time. It’s not a very good look for the public to see. “There will be a lot of restrictions on stage.”

It was like a fight between a spear and a shield.

When we say something, Seolha Kwon says something.

When Seolha Kwon says something, we also say something.

The conversation just kept repeating itself.

Meanwhile, I looked at my smartphone where the video of Kwon Seol-ha’s final performance was playing.

At the end of the performance.

Kwon Seol-ha’s encore song plays through the smartphone.

There was something I looked up on the Internet. The reason why Kwon Seol-ha ended his 7-year official contract with ⌜QY⌟ and continued with an additional 1-year contract.

I made that choice so that I could no longer be dragged around by my agency and try my hand at making my own music.

Recently, Kwon Seol-ha released several singles, producing them himself, visiting composers, and writing lyrics himself.

The content was posted in detail on Kwon Seol-ha’s personal SNS, but the number of ‘likes’ was only 21 because many people had not seen the post.

Some people get 10,000 likes just by drinking coffee at a cafe.

So, among the songs produced by Seolha Kwon himself, there was one song that caught my attention.

⌜Sweet pea⌟.

It was also an encore song at the Malaysia Music Festival.

A song that Kwon Seol-ha wrote the lyrics himself.

Since my mother runs a flower shop, I was familiar with quite a few flowers.

So just from the title, I could tell right away that Sweet Pea is a legume flower.

However, it was a flower name that seemed a bit unfamiliar to me.

So I asked my mother directly.

Does the flower called Sweet Pea have a special meaning?

My mother calmly explained it to me.

A 1- to 2-year-old vine plant from the dicotyledonous Rosaceae legume family.

The flower language of sweet pea is…

“Please remember me.”

It was.

At that time, Kwon Seol-ha looked at me.

Manager Park Hoon and Assistant Manager Charina also stopped what they were saying for a moment.

I lifted the flower pot that was on the floor onto the table. He lifted the black cloth and showed Kwon Seol-ha a light purple flower.

When she saw the flowers in full bloom, she couldn’t say anything.

I continued the conversation in quiet silence.

“You know this flower? Sweet pea. “I listened to my sister’s song ⌜Sweet Pea⌟ over and over again.”

“······.”

“If you look at the lyrics, it seems like a typical love song. But it seems like that’s not everything. The flower language of ‘Please remember me.’ “Who did you want to do to, sister?”

“······.”

“Fans? Audience? families? Colleagues? or not···. Do you want to remember me from the past? I don’t know that much. Because I didn’t write the lyrics. But there are also some things that are clear.”

“······.”

“My sister wants to continue singing. If you look closely at the meaning of asking to remember me… It also means that I don’t want to be forgotten by anyone. Then you can just keep going. “Why are you so scared that you stop doing what you want to do?”

“······.”

“There are people who busk alone in Hongdae because they want to sing. There are also people who play live alone on NewTube. But why sister? Comparisons are bad, but you are in a much better position than them. “You can try a little more, right?”

“······.”

“Assistant Manager Cha visited my sister more than three times and said that he wanted to persuade her. But not me. Because I am a person who has to move forward. So I can’t keep clinging to just one person. therefore···.”

I launched ⌜TEST⌟ from the music app and handed it to Seolha Kwon.

And then the wedge was driven in.

“Please decide here today. You can also decide whether to press the play button or not. However, if I go back today, I will never come back.”

“······.”

Kwon Seol-ha looked like a dazed and distraught person.

Kwon Seol-ha retired.

But sincerely, I wanted to continue singing.

This was all I knew.

Whether my guess was right or wrong, I didn’t have any more cards anyway.

What if we just part ways today? I may never know what kind of ‘déjà vu’ I have with Seolha Kwon.

But what can you do?

I guess that too can be seen as fate.

Kwon Seol-ha’s gaze wavers.

I clenched my fist a few times and then clenched it.

She looked at me.

I calmly received her gaze.

Kwon Seol-ha’s slightly trembling hand moves.

It was as if she was alone in this space.

No one other than her did anything.

Kwon Seol-ha’s fingers finally touched the smartphone screen.

She decided to listen to my music.

The prelude to ⌜TEST⌟ is heard.

A guitar melody that starts softly.

Softness becomes roughness, and coldness becomes warmth.

I also finished recording the guide for ⌜TEST⌟ for today. I barely sang a song in a vocal range that didn’t come out well and recorded it.

It was recorded with a smartphone, so the sound quality was poor, but it was still listenable.

I wrote the lyrics for ⌜TEST⌟ myself.

I expressed my feelings when I left the desert island and returned to this world.

I thought that singer Kwon Seol-ha would definitely sympathize with these lyrics.

My voice coming from my smartphone is,

I was shaking slightly.

⌜Everything around me was fear.

It seemed like there was no one around.

I always had to take the exam alone.

In a place where there is no one.

I received a question written in an unknown language.

Is there any way for me?

You might have to roll your pencil to guess the answer.

There was no one around.

I am alone in the exam room.

Lonely, lonely again, I took the test.

On that stage with no one around.

I always had to play alone.

I just like music.

Other people just ignored me.

No one believes me.

I know very well that you won’t believe me.

There were those years.

There were those years.

The lonely years that only I know.

But only one.

I just need one person to trust me.

If there was no one for me in the past.

It’s a little different now.

My soul had a hole in it that I thought I had forgotten.

Because before I knew it, it had been filled by someone.

I’m going to take the exam today again, without fail.

Standing in front of people who won’t believe me.

To prove myself.

To me who was buried in darkness.

For the person who became a ray of light.

I will sing endlessly.

So I’m going to take the test today too.

Just for one person.

I’m going to take the test again.

⌟

A thin tear flows from Kwon Seol-ha’s eyes.

and.

“Seojin…”

My name came out of her mouth for the first time.

“This song and lyrics… are so good. “How can I refuse this?”

I answered silently, looking at the light purple flower on the table.

“So, you must sing well. “For me, there is someone somewhere who wants to listen to this song.”
