139. I can’t help but see

“Have you ever heard of the island in the sky and the legend of the mermaid of Bretagne?”

“hehehe Actually, it is better known as Le Mont Saint-Michel. Do you know that Mont Saint Michel is a temple built by an angel?”

“Angel… you mean?”

“That’s right. Archangel Michael, the leader of the celestial corps, appears in the dream of Aubert, Bishop of Avranches at the time, through the medium of a dream. He then ordered a magnificent cathedral to be built on top of the rocky mountain. And three times.”

As soon as the words “dream and mediation” came out of Frederic’s mouth, Gyuha’s attention was focused.

“So how did it go?”

“Heh heh heh, no, didn’t he mean that Bishop Aubert simply ignored his words, thinking it was just a dog dream? That’s why Michael gets mad… no, he’s so angry he punches Bishop Aubert in the forehead.”

“Hmm… I guess the technique was good. Seeing that you didn’t die.”

“Yeah!? Anyway, only then did Bishop Aubert, realizing that it was not just a dream, built the cathedral in a hurry. I know this sounds like nonsense, but go to the Avranches Museum later. Because the skull of Bishop Aubert with clear holes is on display.”

“Anyway, a magnificent Romanesque-style cathedral was built on top of that rocky mountain named after the Archangel Michael, and 250 years later, the Duke of Normandy built a Benedictine monastery under the cathedral to gather monks.”

Since then, it has been said that if there are pyramids in the Egyptian desert, there is Mont Saint Michel in the French sea. hehehe If you come to this area, you will definitely go to Mont Saint Michel, but it’s more fun if you know that there is such an interesting anecdote before you go.”

For some reason, Kyu-ha became interested.

“Thank you for good information.”

“I’ve been holding on to the guest for too long. I will tell you the legend of the mermaid of Bretagne next time. You will be staying for quite a while.”

Bong-gu was in a hurry to go to the bathroom, and he had been twisting his body around and looking at him with pitiful eyes.

“Yeah. good. Thank you for your kind guidance.”

“Have a restful night at our Dorville Hotel.”

After receiving the key, Bong-gu hurriedly ran to the bathroom.

Soon after, Bong-gu came out with a clear expression and said to Gyu-ha.

“Oh, I almost had a big problem coming all the way to France. What is the old man at the counter talking about?”

Recalling the dizzying situation, Bong-gu asked Kyu-ha.

“He just explained where to go and why.”

“I need to learn some basic French. It’s frustrating not being able to talk.”

“yes. I will help you, so try studying.”

“Your brother is busy, how can I even get help like that? For now, I’ll try my best alone. Where do you want to go anyway?”

Gyu-ha recalled the conversation she had with manager Frederick a while ago.

“There is a place called the Island in the Sky. It’s called Mont Saint Michel…”

Kyu-ha delivered the explanation to Bong-gu as he had heard from manager Frederick.

“Hey… Are you going to punch me in the face for not listening to me? Are you an angel? Even the punctured skull is on display? Hey, do you really want to go with just that?”

Bong-gu’s eyes twinkled as if he was interested.

“Then let’s go on a day off from filming. I want to go too.”

“Okay, brother! I am always welcome.”

That’s how the first night at the hostel went.

***

“hello.”

“Come on, Song! I was waiting for you.”

“Good morning, Song. The sunrise at Manche Beach is always amazing, right?”

A month has passed since the filming of [The Melody Dancing with the Waves], which was breathless.

That time was enough to make the relationship between Kyuha, the field staff, and the cast members closer.

no. The effort of those who wanted to get close to Kyuha was great.

In any case, the atmosphere on set was pleasant enough that I wondered if it could be better.

Most of the staff were people who had gone through a lot of battles with director Jean Dumont and were wallowing in the movie version, and even though more than 20 years had passed, a month was enough to fill the gap.

Under the direction of director Jean Dumont, there were no loud voices or sharp tension like in other filming sets.

Vincent Cassel, who is called the national actor of France, always walked around the filming set with a smile as if it had been a while since he was in such a pleasant atmosphere.

“Actually, Song played a big role in creating this atmosphere.”

The biggest contributor to the good atmosphere on set was the absence of NG.

Since [The Melody Dancing with the Waves] itself has a lot of piano playing scenes,

In a way, it was natural for an actor who was not a major to make a performance mistake.

But surprisingly, Kyu-Ha has never made a single miss in the piano playing scene.

That meant that the filming of the high-difficulty performance scene was completed in one cue with a long take.

The staff are also human, but continuous NGs can cause irritation.

However, due to the perfect Kyu-Ha performance scene, the filming progressed smoothly like flowing water.

“Isn’t he actually a real pianist, not an actor?”

Vincent Cassel shook his head.

Even during breaks, Kyu-ha did not get off the piano well.

At the same time, he played for the staff in his spare time, and when I heard it, I felt strangely energized.

This acted like a work song, putting smiles on the faces of the staff and allowing them to endure the hard work.

For these complex reasons, laughter overflowed at the filming site of [The Melody Dancing with the Waves].

“I have a feeling. This work will be successful. I don’t know how far it will fly.”

Said Chok of Vincent Cassel, who has appeared in dozens of films in the meantime.

“Whoa… Anyway, why is Song so busy? It’s hard to stick with one word.”

Vincent Cassel shook his head as he looked at Kyu-ha surrounded by staff in the distance, as if he were looking at a lover who had left.

However, he soon smiled confidently.

“I’ll have to try some later with a crepe from the most famous restaurant in Calvados.”

He knew very well that Kyuha had a weakness for delicious food.

[The melody that dances with the waves]

Alain, a genius pianist on the Ile de France, France’s largest cruise liner.

His existence became known all over England, including France.

“hey. Alain Today, many people came to see you.”

“I envy you, I envy you. When will my fans come to me?”

Lorung, the trumpeter, grumbled with envy.

At those words, Alain only smiled faintly.

“Alain. What’s the matter with you? I don’t like your expression very much.”

Leo, the violinist, expressed concern.

“What is the matter? There is no such thing. It’s just that I’ve been playing continuously lately, so I’m a little tired.”

“Certainly, it was overdoing it these days. Since our cruise has become so popular, what can we do with the overflow of guests?”

Leo nodded his head in approval.

The popularity of ‘Ile de France’ has been skyrocketing these days, and rumors spread that getting a ticket on board is like picking stars in the sky.

Inside the empty practice room after the teammates left.

Ding ding ding

Alain, with a dazed expression, tapped the keyboard with one finger.

“Is there a problem…? There is a problem.”

Alain is only now answering Leo’s question.

In fact, there have been several issues stirring his mind lately.

“Who am I?”

“What kind of world is it outside?”

“How should I live in the future?”

It was a worry that any young man of his age would have, but it was a little different for Alain.

Growing up in the world of ‘Ile de France’ for 25 years, he had never seen anyone with the same skin color and appearance as himself.

This fact made Alain feel essential loneliness, like being trapped alone on a remote island.

The agony that arose suddenly stretched out with a side branch.

“What kind of place is Korea?”

Korea, the country he was born in, told by his adoptive father, Pernell.

It’s probably a place I’ll never go to in my life, but I was curious.

“What about the world outside the ship?”

In fact, if I wanted to, I could go out of the boat enough.

However, Alain was afraid.

He feels loneliness and a strange sense of exclusion even inside this huge ship he has grown up in all his life.

If I went overboard, I felt like I would be a loner with nowhere to turn to.

“I just want to stay in the boat. This is where I should be.”

It was then.

“Ahh.”

Alain, who looked at the window inadvertently, fell from his chair and rolled on the floor in a panic.

“What, what?”

The reason why Alain was so surprised was that he saw a figure looking down at him from the window.

Soon the entrance door opened, and a small face peeked out.

“hehehehe, I’m sorry if I surprised you. Stop looking around for a while to see what they are doing.”

Big eyes in contrast to the small face.

A woman with impressive black hair like ebony scratched her head and apologized.

Alain watched the scene blankly.

As if he had come to his senses, he said in amazement.

“Hey, you can come in. This is our orchestra practice room. I can show you around if you want.”

At Alain’s words, a woman whose eyes twinkled like stars came inside at once.

“oh? really? Thank you. My name is Emily. As you can see, I am on a cruise.”

“Bar, nice to meet you. My name is Alain, a pianist belonging to the ‘Ile de France’.”

“hehehehe Nice to meet you, Alain.”

Emily held out her hand, which was as white as fine corn, and asked for a handshake.

Alain, who had been staring blankly at the hand, hurriedly grabbed Emily’s hand.

“Nice to meet you too, Emily.”

“Wow~ This is how the practice room on board looks like. huh? What is this on the piano bridge? It’s the first time I’ve seen it.”

“It is a device that fixes the floor and the piano. On days with strong waves, the piano can shake.”

“ah! I’m going to need it because I play the piano at sea! By the way, Alain is French?”

To Emily’s innocent question, Alain answered with a fatherly attitude.

“F-French… should I say a person? I grew up here, so should I say I’m from the ‘Ile de France’…? Where am I?”

A pretty smile appeared on Emily’s face as it seemed that Alain’s gibberish was so funny.

“Puhahahahaha, where is the answer like that? Alain is a very funny person.”

Alain was scratching his head as if he was embarrassed.

However, when she smiled brightly because of him, somehow he felt better.

As they talked about each other like that, the two of them became quite close before they knew it.

“Then can’t you play the piano? huh? I really like the piano.”

Emily put her hands together and looked at Alain with bright eyes.

Feeling that he wanted to show her a cool side for no reason, Alain nodded slightly.

It was a keyboard that I had touched tens of thousands of times, but today it felt especially strange.

Alain, thinking about what song to play, smiled lightly as if he had remembered it.

Ding

only one person Even the first solo performance for the opposite sex.

It was the same performance as usual, but the sound of the piano could not be heard properly due to the sound of the heart pounding relentlessly.

clap clap clap

“Wow! It was such a wonderful performance that I could count it on three fingers among all the piano performances I’ve ever heard! Great, Alain.”

With Emily making a fuss and praising her performance, Alain’s shoulders seemed to be straining for no reason.

It was Alain’s first love that came to him when he was 25 years old.

Since then, the two have met frequently and built a friendship, but one day an incident broke out.

As usual, the Pernell Orchestra performed regularly at the ‘Ile de France’ banquet hall.

At the moment when Alain’s piano solo, the last turn, begins.

“It’s like someone you’ve never heard of or heard of, boasting about being a pianist. I can’t possibly see you.”
