Chapter 21
Chapter 21
An hour should be fine.
Seo-jun woke up from his nap. He had woken up early in the morning, played a lot, ate some delicious baby food, and took a nap, but the sun was still high in the sky. He decided to go to the apartment playground with Kim Hwa Ryeon and Brown Black.
Have you been to the playground, Seo-jun?
Abup!
He had gone there with his mom for a walk. He couldnt walk, so he couldnt ride any of the playground equipment. Choi Si Yoon smiled brightly and said.
Today, Ill show you how I dance.
He seemed to be influenced by last night. He wanted to dance right away, and his feet wouldnt stay still.
They all packed some milk, diapers, and a thick blanket for Seo-jun and headed to the playground.
It was a cold winter, but the playground was full of lively children. They heard laughter and saw children running around.
When will our Seo-jun run around?
Seo Eun Chan muttered as he watched the children. Kim Hwa Ryeon, who heard him nearby, dusted off the bench and said.
Hell run around soon. Children grow up in the blink of an eye.
I guess so.
Seo-jun, who was in Hwang Ye Juns arms, stared at the playground. He looked so cute in his rabbit fur hat.
I told you I chose well.
Hwang Ye Jun lightly pressed and released Seo-juns cheek with his finger. The rabbit hat he bought suited him very well.
Hes so cute. Seo-jun.
Kevin pressed the handle of the rabbit hat and the rabbits ears popped up. He pressed the other side alternately and the rabbit ears flickered. Hwang Ye Jun and Kevin laughed as they saw the rabbit ears standing up.
Seo-jun is a rabbit. A rabbit.
Ahahaha.
Come on, Seo-jun. Sit here.
Park Seo Jin, who had safely placed Seo-juns baby chair on the bench, called Seo-jun.
They were in a secluded corner of the playground where there werent many people. It was a shady place where the sun didnt shine well, so they wrapped Seo-juns body with a blanket.
Abubu!
Its stuffy, but warm!
Seo Eun Chan and Kim Hwa Ryeon, who had cameras, sat on either side of Seo-jun, who had become a snowman wrapped in a blanket. Kim Hwa Ryeon took a picture of Seo-jun and Seo Eun Chan took a picture of Brown Black.
Brown Black found their positions and stood up.
Brown Black wasnt disappointed that their first stage wasnt a glamorous place, but a corner of the playground where no one came. Rather, their hearts were beating so fast that they felt like they would stop breathing.
There were spectators, not the company staff who always watched their practice. Seo-jun, who was sitting in the baby chair, opened his eyes wide and looked at them.
What are those hyungs going to do?
Brown Blacks heads sparkled. The sparkling numbers got higher and higher. It was the same as last night. Seo Eun Chan felt the same way. He wished he had a better camera and a recording machine. He was sorry.
The leader, Park Seo Jin, raised his voice.
Hello, everyone. Hello, Seo-jun!
Kyahaha!
Seo-jun laughed brightly. Whatever happens, do your best! Hyungs!
Brown Black bowed their heads with bright smiles.
From now on, we will perform for you. Please listen carefully!
Choi Si-yoon, who was closest to them, quickly ran to play music on his phone. Music flowed from two Bluetooth speakers placed on both sides of the bench chair. The place was noisy with various sounds. But,
-Its a humble start
As soon as Park Seo-jin opened his mouth, it seemed like the noise was gone except for their music.
[The Connection of the Orchestra Conductor is activated.]
I knew it.
Seo-jun nodded. It was not a skill that was activated often, but they used it too easily.
Seo-jun leaned back on the chair and enjoyed the song.
Even now, they were good enough, but if they continued to trust each other and study music for a long time, he wondered how Brown Black would be in the future, using both their basic skills and the power of the skill.
-Its just one step
Hwang Ye-juns mouth opened and a gentle voice was heard. Choi Si-yoon came forward.
[The Connection of the Orchestra Conductor] only increased their musical ability. It had no effect on their dance skills.
But Choi Si-yoon felt the rhythm and beat of the song more intensely than usual.
He was sure of that, and he moved more fiercely than usual.
The three others also moved their bodies to match Choi Si-yoons intense dance.
Seo-juns eyes widened at the dazzling dance that continued without a break. It was different from the dance he saw on television. The stage that unfolded right in front of his eyes had a unique vividness.
The four of them danced to the music. It was amazing. He felt the members hearts like last night.
It was a familiar dance, but today their fingers and toes fit perfectly.
They were so happy that they didnt lose their bright smiles even while singing and dancing.
Their dance was more perfect than ever. Seo Eun-chan clenched his fist.
It wasnt just last night.
They showed the same skills as yesterday.
This should be a success, right?!
Seo Eun-chan got up from his seat without realizing it. He didnt want to sit still and film, but he wanted to take a closer look at these cool idols.
Wow
Kim Hwa-ryeon, who had returned home last night, unknowingly turned the camera from Seo-jun to Brown Black.
She didnt expect much from the first idol group of the new entertainment company, but it was beyond her imagination.
It was the first time she heard the song, but the lyrics stuck in her ears and the flashy choreography delighted her eyes.
-Its just the beginning!
The song that lasted for about four minutes ended. Brown Black bowed to the camera that was filming them.
Huff- Huff- Thank you!
With a clearly exhausted look, Brown Black sat down in front of the bench chair where Seo-jun was. Seo Eun-chan gave them water bottles with a puzzled face.
Didnt you say you were going to do two more songs?
Huh- No, no. Huff huff- Im really tired
Hwang Ye-jun waved his hand as he drank water without breathing. The other three also nodded. Park Seo-jin washed his face with a tired look.
I didnt know what I was doing yesterday and sang all the songs, but I feel like Im going to die if I sing and dance at the same time.
I know. Wow, how did we do it yesterday?
It must be because of me.
Seo-jun wanted to pat his brothers backs with both hands as a mana supplier, but he couldnt move because his arms were wrapped in a blanket. He only wiggled his fingers.
Using skills was not without a price. Mana was the basic resource, but if mana ran out, they had to pay with their physical strength.
Yesterday, Seo-jun and Brown Black were close by, so Seo-juns mana had partly covered for them, but now they were far apart.
Today, and on the future stages, it was up to Brown Black, they had to solve it themselves.
Kevin, who had been sitting on the dirt floor and taking a few deep breaths, smiled.
I need to exercise more, dont I?
Yeah. Ill cancel your gym membership. You need to build up your stamina if you want to do a concert.
At Seo-eun-chans words, the faces of Brown Black, who were sitting on the floor, turned to one place.
It was a word that had seemed far away even in their imagination. Choi Si-yoon asked with a flustered face.
A c-concert?
Yeah.
Seo-eun-chan smiled brightly.
You guys are awesome! If you debut like this, you might be able to do a nationwide concert within a year!
Really?
Brown Black looked incredulous. They had been rejected by several agencies. They had always been told that they lacked something, and their debut had been canceled and their schedule had been overturned.
But a concert?
They also thought they had done better than usual when they sang and danced just now. The song they had sung last night, full of emotion, and the dance that could not be more perfect. They wondered if they could do the same on a music show and have a great debut stage!
I think so too.
It was Kim Hwa-ryeon. Her face, which had been calm until a moment ago, was flushed.
Wow. Why havent you debuted yet? You sang really well and your dance was awesome! Look, look. Didnt you get goosebumps? You were amazing.
Uh
Brown Black didnt know what to do at Kim Hwa-ryeons praise.
Thats when it happened.
Excuse me!
A man called out to them. The cheerful atmosphere quickly faded.
Was he a complainant? Seo-eun-chan jumped up and ran to the man. Was it too loud? Seo-eun-chan bit his lip. He couldnt ruin Brown Blacks image before their debut.
Im sorry
Whats the name of the song?
Huh Yes?
The man, who had come to get the documents he had left behind, had heard their song and ran over. He smiled awkwardly.
I searched everywhere, but I couldnt find the song title or the singers name. You sang several songs last night, but today you only sang one.
Uh Uh
The eyes of Brown Black and Kim Hwa-ryeon, who had been holding their breath in tension, widened. Seo-eun-chan and Brown Black lost their words at the mans sudden question.
The man who asked the question was also embarrassed and said nothing. Silence flowed.
They all seemed to be out of their minds.
Kyahaha!
It was time for me to step in. Whats with the mood? Is it edible? The babys laughter, which didnt know anything, broke the silence.
Seo-eun-chan, who was startled, quickly answered.
Oh, yes! The song title is Start. And the singers name is, uh. Just a moment.
Seo Eun-chan gestured to the back. Brown Black, who flinched at the gesture, quickly ran to Seo Eun-chan. Greet him. Greet him. Seo Eun-chan whispered.
Hi, Im Brown Black!
Oh, youre Brown Black. Ive heard of you. You sing well and dance well too.
Thank you.
But I couldnt find your songs online
Seo Eun-chan quickly answered.
I havent debuted yet.
The mans eyes widened. Ah. Thats why. The man who had searched music sites all night and even posted a question felt relieved when he found the answer.
I hope you debut soon. Please sing more good songs.
The man smiled and took out a paper from his bag. He also took out a pen from his pocket. He handed the paper and pen to Brown Black.
Brown Black didnt know what he meant and just stood there blankly. Seo Eun-chan poked Kevins side.
Sign, sign.
Huh!
Hwang Ye-juns breath stopped. Park Seo-jin trembled as he took the paper and pen.
Please, if you dont mind.
No, not at all.
Seo Eun-chan waved his hand. In the meantime, Choi Si-yoon, who had difficulty breathing, signed the paper. As the conversation dragged on, Kim Hwa-ryeon headed to them with Seo-jun in her arms.
Kyaaah!
Huh? Is that a baby?
Yes. Were filming a parenting show for YouTube. Please watch it when you have time. This is our YouTube address.
As Seo Eun-chan and the man continued their conversation, the signing was over. The man received the signed paper and smiled brightly.
Ill definitely buy your album when it comes out.
Thank you!
Brown Black and Seo Eun-chan bowed their heads. The man also said goodbye and left.
Brown Black only looked at the mans back as he walked away. The mans back faded.
Ah
It was a tear.
Kevin bit his lip. His chest was hot. It was so hot that he felt like crying. Choi Si-yoon, the youngest, had already started crying. He shed tears without making a sound.
Hwang Ye-jun and Park Seo-jin opened their mouths with watery eyes as they looked at their members. They couldnt say anything and closed their mouths.
Well done!
Seo Eun-chan, who managed to spit out the words, patted Brown Blacks shoulder, who buried his face in his hands. He also couldnt control his rising emotions and kept repeating well done, well done.
Kim Hwa-ryeon, who skillfully held Seo-jun with one hand, lifted the camera. She also sniffed her nose.
Kkahaha.
Seo-jun, who couldnt cry himself, smiled brightly. Brown Blacks gaze turned to the baby. Seeing his smiling face.
Uhuhuhung. Seo-jun!
Hyungs praised you!
[They said theyll buy your album! Sing more for them!]
Uhuhung. Hyung, you dance well!
Starting with Hwang Ye-jun, they all burst into tears. They hugged each other and cried with the little baby in the middle.
He could endure the frustration, but
I want to cry!
Uwaaaaah!
Seo-jun also burst into tears. Seo Eun Chan wiped away the flowing tears and Kim Hwa Ryeon took out a handkerchief.
It was a good day.
