011. duet proposal

“First of all, I am really sorry for being so rude. Still, even though I am a musician, the stage was invaded. The song was so good I couldn’t stand it.”

“It’s okay. I expected it.”

“uh? Really? Then, how about the next song between you and me?”

In response, Ivy raised her eyebrows.

“Between you and me?”

Song Jae-ik nodded, recalling the relationship between you and me in his head. Since it’s a duet song, I wondered if it meant that he had to sing the male part himself.

It was clear that a normal person or a busker would definitely be nervous. If you make a mistake like this, you will literally be stuffed with a dark history.

But Song Jae-ik smiled. Because it was quite predictable. The song is already clearly stored in my head.

“Piano rather than guitar… Would it be okay?”

Evie cautiously asked to play the piano. The piano he had just played before breaking in.

Obviously playing the guitar wasn’t bad, but Song Jae-ik’s piano. Because there was definitely something special about that piano.

“Enough.”

Song Jae-ik passed the microphone he had been singing while playing the guitar from Evie, and himself adjusted the position of the microphone connected to the piano.

A street busking duet with Evie.

To put it simply, it’s something you only see on You Tube. It’s like when you’re busking and the singer of the original song walks by and breaks in and sings with you.

Besides, all the audience looking at this stage were filming the stage with cell phones in their hands.

Although it is focused precisely on Evie.

Glancing at Um Kang-seok, the corners of his mouth almost caught in his ears. It seemed that he was checking the number of subscribers to the channel, which was increasing in real time.

“Are you ready?”

The moment when Song Jae-ik’s piano performance begins and interlude unfolds after making eye contact with Evie.

“ah.”

It was as if the situation of the lyrics she had written was drawn in her head.

It was an amazing experience. It’s a simple piano performance, but the situation of the song comes naturally to my head.

I’ve heard a lot of good piano playing. This was literally the first time this had happened.

“You already know. Between you and me~”

Lee Bi recited the lyrics with a more comfortable feeling than ever before.

And it was Director Park Han-kyu who noticed the change before anyone else.

As someone who has listened to Evie countless times over the years I’ve been with her, the songs she’s singing now are better than ever.

Is it similar to Evie’s feeling that she showed in her best condition? But what doesn’t make sense is that Evie’s condition has been messed up recently due to the preparation for her full album.

“Is it because of the piano playing? His understanding of the song is definitely excellent.”

Only one difference. Naturber’s piano playing. The sum of Evie’s voice and the current piano accompaniment is that good.

“Hmm. Why the hell is it not known until now? I must have stabbed it here and there.”

Even if it’s the first time setting it up.

“Your gentle smile at my words~”

And let’s start with Song Jae-ik’s song in the male part.

The audience who heard the voice couldn’t hide their surprised expressions for a moment. Even the experienced Evie couldn’t hide her surprised expression.

“Great.”

“what? Do you think your voice has improved? It’s different from when I was busking alone earlier.”

“Wow. really. Your voice is good.”

Along with Song Jae-ik’s voice, the gaze that had been focused on Evie was dispersed for a moment.

Even while busking with Evie, Song Jae-ik was growing in real time.

‘You have to catch it. must’

Chief Park Han-gyu thought as he felt goosebumps all over his body.

A person like that should have been caught. I felt stronger than when I first saw Evie.

A strong conviction that you will succeed unconditionally.

That’s why Park Han-gyu quickly sent a text message to Kim Joon.

[CEO, that youtuber is awesome. You must hold onto it unconditionally. I’ll call the company when the busking is over.]

“Manager Park Han-gyu? You are here.”

Around the end of the first song, a bodyguard sent by the agency arrived and took a seat in front of the stage near the end of the song.

“It would be nice to have a seat at the front of the stage.”

“yes. Okay. Which side is the car on?”

“I know the location, so when we move, we move together.”

At some point, rumors spread, and the number of fans exceeded hundreds, and people were still flocking here and there to see Evie’s face.

And judging from Evie’s expression, it never seemed like this situation would end with a simple song.

After the song, hundreds of applause rang out.

Because it was such a good busking.

“Ivy. up to two songs. Accidents happen when people crowd too much. There are hundreds of them now.”

And when the song was over, Chief Park Han-gyu spoke quietly and Evie nodded.

After all, he was the one who broke the promise he made with Chief Park Han-gyu before he came here.

and most important existence. A YouTuber whose name is unknown.

“What is the name of that YouTuber?

“My name is Song Jae-ik.”

“Ah yes. I’m really sorry that this has happened. By the way, Jaeik, do you have any other schedule after busking? Could you please give me a moment?”

Originally, it would have been about giving a business card and asking for a call when I had time, but my senses were strongly alarming me that I shouldn’t do that.

I had a strong feeling that if I didn’t continue the meeting right away, someone might take it away.

“There is no schedule other than returning the instrument.”

“That’s fortunate. Will the meeting be okay after the meeting?”

At those words, Um Kang-seok nodded vigorously, and Song Jae-ik nodded with a smile.

“Then I will give you the address. Please contact me before coming.”

While Chief Park Han-kyu was talking with Um Kang-seok, Song Jae-ik looked at Evie.

What do you want to sing for the next song? Evie looked into her eyes and a lot of songs came to her mind.

Curiosity grew as to how his song would feel on the piano played by that man and what he would show.

—

Perhaps because of the great impact Song Jae-ik had, even after Yibi left, quite a few people remained and listened to Song Jae-ik’s busking.

“Great. very awesome. Hey, look at how quickly the number of subscribers has increased.”

Thanks to this, we did an unexpected busking for about 30 more minutes, and on the way to Evie’s agency, Um Kang-seok couldn’t erase the smile from his face at the increased number of subscribers and comments.

“Does it make sense to have thousands of subscribers in just a few videos? Besides, 10,000 subscribers are right in front of you? Maybe when the video is released, I’ll hit it properly and go up?”

“But rather than being surprised at the increase in subscribers, shouldn’t we be more surprised that Evie is now in the agency? Do you think the points are oddly misaligned?”

“Oh right.”

Um Kang-seok finally hardened his expression and looked at Evie’s agency building.

“But why Evie? why you?”

At the words that he couldn’t understand, Song Jae-ik smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

“Because I sing well.”

“Wow. I’m not f*cking lucky. But it’s true that it annoys me even more.”

The busking that Song Jae-ik showed today was about that, so it must be.

“But why did I call you? casting?”

“I don’t know, but well. Wouldn’t that be the only reason to call?”

What is the reason for calling yourself, who used to sing while playing the guitar and piano in an entertainment agency, especially in a place that focuses on singers?

“So what would you do if you were to become a celebrity?”

“Okay. I’m still thinking about it.”

“If you’re a celebrity, you can’t do it on You Tube?”

“These days, even celebrities do a lot of You Tube.”

Song Jae-ik entered the building with a puzzled look on his face.

Because nothing was certain yet. There were also doubts about whether becoming a celebrity was his path.

After all, isn’t it because of the ring that I played the piano, played the guitar, and sang?

So is your own goal.

“welcome. I was waiting. And I have to say I’m sorry again.”

And when I entered the lobby of the building, Director Park Han-gyu, who had been waiting in advance, walked up to Song Jae-ik with a bright face.

“thank you. It’s the first time I’ve played in front of anyone, and this happened to me. I think it’s a dream.”

“yes? How many times? Then, didn’t you go to private academies or busking constantly? Then, like playing the piano…”

Manager Park Han-gyu looked at Song Jae-ik in surprise. You don’t get nervous in front of so many people and you play so well, but busking is only the second time.

“yes. I also taught myself to play the piano. It was the first time I played at DDP before.”

Looking at Chief Park Han-kyu, who was lost in his answer, Um Kang-seok nodded as if he understood.

“Even if it seems like a lie, it is true. Even I, a ten-year-old, was surprised. Do you sometimes want to be an alien?”

no you shouldn’t say that

—

“Was that enough?”

CEO Joon Kim was curious. It was because Evie wasn’t really a singer who showed such a reaction for most things.

‘In addition, it is said that your skills are certain if even Chief Park talks like that. You will see some degree of commerciality. The mask certainly didn’t look bad.’

“CEO! Have you ever seen me talk like this? It’s unconditional. Because I have to hold onto it unconditionally.”

“Cancer, no. never.”

It was only recently that I was able to appeal enough with my skills through various media, so it was a matter of finding a way as long as I was sure of my skills.

Besides, it was really rare for Evie to talk like that.

“So, I’m meeting you in person. You know it’s usually handled by Chief Park, right?”

“I know. But this time, you really won’t regret it.”

The answer made CEO Joon Kim sigh at the appearance of Evie who was good at it. Originally, there was no reason for him to be in a place like this.

It was enough to just organize and report on the line of Chief Park Han-gyu.

However, given that Lee Bi and Park Han-gyu, head of the department, are both interesting people at the same time, wasn’t Lee Bi taking care of herself as soon as she returned to the company, so she attended like this?

It would be difficult to seduce a youtuber who is not a businessman, but it was because, as long as he participated, it was clear that this side needed to take the initiative.

“Don’t ever come forward when that youtuber comes, hold your weight and stay still. you are ivy Evie. It’s enough that only we know your true face.”

“Yes!”

smart-

The door opened with a knock, and Song Jae-Ik and Eom Kang-Seok entered, following Chief Park Han-Gyu.

“welcome!”

And Lee Bi got up from her seat so quickly that CEO Kim Joon’s words were colorless and greeted Song Jae-ik with a bright expression.

“hello. I am Joon Kim, CEO of Muse Entertainment. I heard that a singer in our company was rude. sorry.”

“hello. My name is Song Jae-ik. Here is Um Kang-seok. That part is enough because you have already apologized several times.”

“hello! My name is Kang-seok Um! Jaeik’s friend and video editing manager. It is an honour. Goddess Evie!”

Ebi smiled broadly at Um Kang-seok’s words and waved her hand.

“Ugh. It’s not an honor. What is Goddess?”

“Isn’t it a natural honor for Ibiz to meet you? If you’ll excuse me, I’ll sign it later.”

“Of course it’s our ibiz!”

Um Kang-seok’s sarcastic attitude made the atmosphere in the representative office even warmer.

“Why did you ask to see me…?”

Anyway, there is a reason, so I thought I would have called him, so I asked Song Jae-ik’s question.

“I’m a guest, but I didn’t even serve tea. beverage? coffee?”

Before Evie could even lift her butt off her seat, CEO Kim Jun opened her mouth first and stopped Evie from acting.

“You may have expected it as you came, but it is a casting offer. I was wondering if you were thinking about auditioning.”

Then, quickly, before Lee Bi could speak first, CEO Kim Joon hit the ball.

“An audition?”

“yes. It’s like an artist image. From piano to guitar to vocals. I wonder if I would be a perfect singer-songwriter if I just learned to compose.”

Instead of answering the question right away, Song Jae-ik deliberately kept silent.

‘Is there any benefit to me? Do you really want a celebrity?’

Besides, I knew that if I belonged to such a large agency, I would not know the details, but it would be difficult to work right away.

Of course, it won’t take a long time to learn composition, as CEO Kim Joon said.

‘TV appearances. I don’t think there’s anything else besides that.’

It wasn’t like he had a sense of purpose in terms of his goal of becoming a celebrity or gaining popularity among the masses.

Of course, it was an opportunity to show oneself to more people, but the problem is that the field is limited.

That was the biggest stumbling block.

“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of becoming a celebrity.”

If it wasn’t for the current situation, I might have accepted it. Because it was definitely a great opportunity.

“yes?”

It felt like the atmosphere in the representative office froze in an instant at Song Jae-ik’s determined answer.

“Um… if I had to argue, would I say that I want to continue being a YouTuber?”

“ah···”

Director Park Han-gyu let out a sigh at those words. It was because it was sad.

“It’s because my goal is to try various things like the name of a YouTuber channel rather than being tied down. The piano, guitar, and busking are all part of that goal.”

“Ah, Challenge Everything. then.”

An awkward atmosphere flowed in the representative office at the direct refusal and talk of You Tube.

In that atmosphere, Lee Bi made a frustrated expression and stood up from her seat as if that wasn’t the case and looked at Song Jae-ik.

“That was not my purpose in the first place! Did you say Song Jae-ik? Mr. Jaeik. Would you like to work with me?”

“yes? work?”

I thought it was just a casting proposal, but to say it was a work proposal, Song Jae-ik looked at Evie with an interesting expression.

“yes. It’s just the voice I wanted. I didn’t have the voice I wanted for the feature, but as soon as I saw Jaeik’s voice on You Tube, I wanted this.”

“Five. Great.”

Um Kang-seok looked at the two with a startled expression.

“I want to do a duet song together. not. Two outlines, not one. up to the piano. ”

Representative Kim Joon and Chief Park Han-gyu’s expression froze at Evie’s words.
