71. Will you admit this?

“Yeah!? Me, over there?”

Son Jun-Ik, who didn’t understand for a moment, shouted in surprise.

“Yeah. I decided to perform on the streets overseas wearing a dragon robe with the pledge of 8 million won, but I thought it would be just fine to do it here.”

“That’s right, but… It seems like there are too many people. Are you okay…?”

As Son Jun-Ik said, Syntagma Square had a high population mobility, but more tourists flocked to it because of the changing of the guards ceremony.

“it’s okay. If you promise, you must keep it. If you’re going to do it, it’s better to do it in the right place, right?”

“Chuck. After all, it’s Kyuha-kun. then! The weight of a promise from a man’s mouth is heavy. It’s not bad to challenge yourself like a man.”

Park Chang-soo, who was interested in the sudden development of the situation, cheered for Kyu-ha.

“A masterpiece, a masterpiece. He has a very manly side. It’s like seeing my youth when I was full of ambition.”

Lee Dae-ho also patted Kyu-ha on the shoulder as if this situation was funny.

“Then I’ll prepare some costumes and instruments.”

Gyu-ha, who was carrying a backpack, took out a stylish navy blue dragon robe and put on a crown of ikseon-gwan on his head.

“Uh heh heh heh. Even this outfit is perfect. Did you prepare properly?”

After getting ready, Gyuha took out something else from the long auxiliary bag.

Park Chang-soo recognized the instrument at a glance.

“I think that is… the price? Does Gyuha-kun know how to play daegeum?”

To be honest, I had never properly learned the daegeum, but I was able to play it quickly because the principle of producing sound was similar to that of the Chinese musical instrument dizi. After all the preparations were completed, Gyu-ha approached the old musician who was taking a break, asked permission to play, and prepared to play next to him.

Gyuha slowly closed her eyes and put her lips on the Daegeum.

Costumes unfamiliar to foreigners and unusual musical instruments caught the attention of many people passing through Santiago Square at once.

The sound of Kyuha’s Daegeum quietly resonated in Syntagma Square, the center of Greece. The selected song was ‘Song of Seikilos’, which is the only song in which the whole song remains intact among the ancient Greek scores, but Kyuha slightly arranged it in a modern style.

Enchantingly beautiful melodies embraced the entire plaza, and the elegant and clear sound unique to Korean daegeum caught the footsteps of passers-by and made the cluttered plaza feel vague and calm.

Wheely wheely wheely wheely wheely wheely wheely

The beautiful Korean daegeum sound spreading in a strange foreign land seemed to moisten the dryness of the Mediterranean summer.

The short performance ended as if time had stopped for a moment, and thunderous applause poured in, starting with someone applauding in the quiet plaza.

“Είναι το καλύτερο παιχνίδι!, Ξένοι παίζουν το τραγούδι του Σέκυλου!”

(This is the best performance! A foreigner playing the song of Sekylos! Oh my God!)

“It’s a really cool performance. What a fantastic night!”

(What a great performance. Fantastic night!)

“De quel pays êtes vous? les vêtements sont vraiment beaux”

(What country are you from? Your clothes are really cool?)

As a tourist destination, people from many nationalities praised Kyu-ha’s performance, and although the language was different, everyone’s heart was the same at this moment.

“Encore! encore!”

“Encore! Encore!”

Numerous people gathered asked Kyuha to play an encore. Syntagma Square was seething with heat as if it had become a concert hall.

At that time, two old musicians next to him approached Kyu-ha, shook hands, and spoke in Greek.

“It was a really great performance. If you don’t mind, why don’t you play an ensemble?”

They even mixed up body language in case Kyu-ha didn’t understand, but their eyes widened when Gyu-ha answered in fluent Greek.

“Of course I am honored. What song should we do?”

“You speak Greek fluently. nice! Um.. Do you know the song To Treno? Somehow, it seems like you would know.”

Greece is a country with similar sentiments to Korea. It was because the spirit of struggle and resentment had been dwelling in the hearts of the Greeks due to the invasion of many foreign powers since the modern era. In particular, the Greek songs were written in a time when freedom was suppressed, so they indirectly contain the suppressed sadness, giving a heartfelt feeling.

“Of course. Shall we try with that?”

Syntagma Square became quiet again as if it had been promised, and three people with violins, acoustic guitars, and daegeum prepared for a performance.

It started with the violin.

Gee ying.

The sad and sad atmosphere unique to the song and the melody from the violin matched very well, signaling a pleasant start. Right after that, the acoustic guitar enriched the performance, and the violin performance was firmly supported with short strokes and unshakable tempo that the player’s age would be colorless.

Lastly, when the clean and moderated daegeum performance was added, the ensemble achieved a fantastic harmony. Just in time, a gentle breeze blew, and the hem of the coat of the gonryongpo fluttered, creating a picture-like beauty.

The noise of the people, the unique sensibility of Greece, the Mediterranean wind, and finally, the enchanting music combined, and Syntagma Square was filled with romance.

Producer Son Jun-ik, who was watching, shuddered all over his body. It seemed like a dream. It was so touching that it brought tears to my eyes, and I felt proud that the person who was showing the miracle was the person I casted for.

“This… is unconditionally great. If I can’t save this, I’m not even a PD. This is crazy.”

It was never a fuss. I looked around with a sidelong glance, but the writers’ eyes were already wide open and intoxicated with the atmosphere, and the three elder actors who traveled together were immersed in the fantastic harmony created by the old musician and Kyu-ha with their eyes closed.

Sadly, the performance ended, and most people in the square had their eyes closed and could not escape from the afterglow of the music. Then, when Noh musicians and Kyu-ha took off their hats and greeted the audience, great cheers erupted.

“bravo!!! I’m so glad you came to Greece!!! It’s the best experience of my life.”

“Who the hell is that young Asian?”

Many people who were moved put money into the acoustic guitar case placed in front of the Noh musician and thanked him for the fantastic performance.

“It was a great performance. It was an honor to be with you.”

“What are you talking about? I think it’s the first time I’ve had such a touching and fun performance since I started music. Thank you for making wonderful memories.”

Gyu-ha, who had sadly said goodbye to the two old musicians by shaking hands, returned to the party again.

“Are you going to admit that you fulfilled your promise?”

Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded by his calm tone, as if he had gone on an errand for his mother after he had done a great job.

“It’s not about fulfilling the promise, it’s a jackpot! You have no idea how much you’ve done to yourself. Huh.”

“Kyuha-kun, you worked hard. I had a wonderful experience in my childhood. Thank you. For making these memories.”

“When did you learn Daegeum? It blew really well. chuckle.”

The three elderly people traveling together also patted Kyuha on the shoulder and conveyed their emotions. The usual youthfulness was nowhere to be found, and it seemed that the exhilaration had not gone away yet.

“Originally, as a hobby, I like to play various instruments. Ha ha ha, let’s go to the inn now.”

As he was about to return to his lodgings, two slim blonde women approached him.

“Thank you for your wonderful performance. I was moved by your playing. Can we take a picture together?”

Gyu-ha, who was about to take off his dragon robe, paused and pondered for a moment, then nodded.

“of course. Sure.”

Requests to take pictures together began pouring in, as if other people were encouraged by that appearance. As so many people gathered in an instant, I had no choice but to leave, and I got out of the square and arrived at my accommodation.

“You worked hard. Mr. Kyuha.”

It was late, but PD Son Jun-ik, who was waiting for Kyu-ha, greeted Kyu-ha.

“Are the teachers sleeping?”

“Yeah. All three of them must have been too tired from waiting for Gyuha, so they ended up going to bed early.”

“That’s fortunate. Sleep is the most important thing, so you shouldn’t interfere with tomorrow’s schedule because of me.”

At Kyuha’s words, Son Junik waved his hand.

“Oh no, don’t talk like that. What a happy night it was thanks to Kyuha. I will never forget that moment for the rest of my life.”

Kyu-ha scratched her head at Son Jun-ik’s fuss.

“I was just trying to fulfill my promise. I would prefer not to make such a promise in the future.”

“hahahahaha, thank you for your hard work. You must be tired, so take a rest.”

“all right. PD Son, get some rest too and I’ll see you tomorrow.”

***

From the next day, Kyuha started the trip with a rental car, and the destination was ‘Cape Sounion’. It was also the site of a temple to Poseidon, the god of the sea. It was not too far, as it was about two hours southeast of the outskirts of Athens.

“Huh, what a magnificent view.”

The party who arrived at Cape Sounion had no choice but to admire the temple of Poseidon standing tall on a sheer cliff, showing off its presence. It created a mysterious atmosphere as if Poseidon, the god of the sea, would descend at any moment.

As the sun went down and the red sunset covered it, it seemed to stand out even more in harmony with the magnificent view of the coast. Since then, a week has passed since I looked around the essential travel courses in Greece based on Athens.

“Today we will go to the famous Meteora. Meteora means a monastery floating in the air, and it is also a place that is said to be closest to the gods in Greece, the country of the gods.”

“This really makes me speechless.”

The Meteora they faced was a towering rocky mountain made of huge sandstone and the monastery at the top created a mysterious atmosphere.

“brother. It is rewarding to put a paste on the crucible and climb up hard. To see all these landscapes before I die… It’s amazing.”

“Say that. Also, the world is wide. We pretend to know the world and pretend to know the world, but we are just humble humans in front of nature.”

The four of them chatted and climbed slowly to the monastery building.

By the time we almost reached the monastery.

Quaang.

The door of the quiet Gaon Monastery burst open, and an old man with a white beard in a black suit hurriedly came out and looked around as if he was looking for something.

The time when the group, surprised by the sudden situation, stopped and tried to grasp the situation. The old monk strode toward the party. Around the time when I felt a sense of tension due to my unknown spirit. Suddenly, the old monk hurriedly put his hands together and said with thrilled eyes.

“είσαι ενήλικας Σας ευχαριστούμε που επισκεφθήκατε το μοναστήρι μας.”

(Noble saint. It is an honor to visit our monastery.)

The old monk’s eyes were only on Gyu-ha.
