EP30 – My younger brother was a genius too (9)
“Isn’t this really a joke?”
‘Choice of Music’ production team. As they were preparing for the final filming and stage video, they let out a deep sigh.
The problem they are facing right now is because of the stage directed by Ha-jun Yoon.
Starting with gorgeous and unique CG, shooting in various locations, and even directing for Hangoyo.
The production cost for directing alone is enormous, and on top of that, it includes recording songs on location.
To meet Ha-jun Yoon’s desired minimum specifications, it would cost more than the combined production costs of ‘Choice of Music’ filmed so far.
Of course, the production cost of filming ‘Choice of Music’ itself is relatively cheap, but even so, it is true that the production cost is really high.
“Can’t we ask them to lower the live stage environment?”
“The title is ‘Music Choice,’ but wouldn’t that be a problem if the live stage sound wasn’t good?”
“I guess that’s true too. So what if we reduce the CG?”
“Actually, CG itself is not that expensive. A cool CG like the one usually used in entertainment is enough. The reason production costs are so high is because of other directing, but it would be a waste to give up directing to this extent.”
“Then the production cost is not enough.”
No matter how much you care about it, the production cost of filming a broadcast is enormous. This is because everything from labor costs to equipment does not cost a penny or two.
So, we receive various PPLs to make up for the shortfall in production costs.
The problem is that that alone is not enough.
The production team was having trouble with production costs, and the main producer spoke up.
“Then shall we bring a PPL to the stage?”
“PPL? “This is a very touching performance, but will it be okay?”
“It’s fun until the middle part. Especially in the first half, because they use some cool CGs. “I thought it would be a good idea to put a PPL in a place like that.”
“That would be fine.”
“Then, ask for understanding from the cast members. The problem is what kind of PPL to attract.”
“Don’t worry about that.”
The PD smiled at the production crew’s words.
There are a lot of PPLs that can be pulled out. Producer Kim Yong-jang looked at his cell phone, wondering what PPL would be suitable for that stage.

“I recently went to Jeju Island for filming.”
When everyone was gathered together and practicing for the ‘Choice of Music’ stage, Taeyoung Kim suddenly opened her mouth.
At that voice, everyone stopped practicing and looked at Kim Taeyoung.
Kim Tae-young, whether aware of those gazes or not, continued speaking as she practiced her appearance scene while looking in the mirror.
“But then I ended up going to that aquarium again.”
“Aquarium?”
“Why did you and I go to the place where we met?”
“iced coffee.”
Ha-Jun Yoon nodded as if he finally remembered what Tae-Young Kim said.
‘At that time, I gave chocolate milk to Han Go-yo.’
When I think about it now, it feels like such a long time ago.
At most, it was less than two years.
“As I was looking there, something touched my heart. We are really graduating. It’s really the end. It seems like it was just yesterday, but back then we were first graders, and now we are third graders.”
“Why are you thinking like that already?”
“Well, it might seem like a ridiculous idea to adults. They are still young, but are they already thinking like that? But these three years occupy a significant portion of our lives. So you can think like that.”
Kim Tae-young rarely utters emotional words.
3 years, 3 years at most. At most 3 years. However, for those who have lived less than 20 years, this only takes up 1/6 of their time.
Moreover, these three years have absolutely significant meaning to them.
Maybe I’ve gained more from these three years than I have from my entire life so far.
“Of course, our relationship won’t end when we graduate from school. We will continue to meet and face new times. Still, I felt like something was missing. “Because this moment is only now.”
“So what do you want to say?”
It seemed like the atmosphere was getting emotional for no reason, so Ha-Jun Yoon tried to pretend that nothing had happened.
At those words, Kim Tae-young looked at Yoon Ha-jun to say something, but then smiled at his frowning expression.
‘I was going to say that you don’t have any emotions, but I guess that’s not the case.’
“I just hope this stage becomes a stage with no regrets. Because I will never come back to a stage like this again. “And I think it would be nice if we all went on a graduation trip together.”
“Iknow, right.”
As soon as Kim Tae-young finished speaking, Jin So-hyang nodded. Then, he looked at Hajun Yoon with a somewhat sullen expression and continued speaking.
“I was the only one who couldn’t go on a field trip with him when I was in first or second grade.”
“That’s it, because I was busy. So, can I go on the graduation trip?”
Jin So-hyang quietly lowered her head at Yoon Ha-jun’s words.
There is no way that an idol with the status of an idol, and not just an idol, but an idol who can be called the top of Korea, can participate in the graduation trip.
Even if we all move together, people will recognize us wherever we go.
That’s nothing short of a nuisance to other children.
“Don’t worry too much. “I don’t think we can go on the graduation trip either.”
And it’s the same with them. Han Go-yo lightly taps Jin So-hyang, who is looking sullen, on the shoulder and says so.
Even just a year ago, they could move around with peace of mind, but not anymore. They are now too famous for that.
“Oh, I forgot about that.”
Taeyoung Kim scratched her head at those words.
I never thought I wouldn’t be able to go on a graduation trip.
Kim Tae-young, who was wondering if there was any way, thought of something and flicked his hand. Then he looked at the other kids and spoke.
“Then we can go on a trip by ourselves.”
“huh?”

“We can go on a graduation trip by ourselves.”
“What, let’s use something like broadcasting again?”
Kim Tae-young’s expression distorts at Yoon Ha-jun’s words. It’s like asking if I’m sane. Then she shook her head and continued.
“Why are you using broadcasting? It’s not like we don’t have money anymore. We’re just going to go on a trip on our own according to the other kids’ graduation trip schedules. “If you think about it, we’ve never gone on a trip by ourselves without our cameras.”
“Can I go there too?”
As soon as Kim Tae-young finished speaking, Yoon Soo-yeon raised her hand.
The same goes for Yoon Su-yeon, who can’t go on a school trip anyway.
Moreover, Yoon Soo-yeon also wants to go on a trip with these members. Although we bickered a lot, we became closer than that.
“I think it’s good. Let’s all travel together. “Sooyeon is also involved.”
“I’m fine too.”
“If you guys are okay, I’m okay too.”
Taeyoung Kim said that and looked at Hajun Yoon.
All the other kids accepted. All that remains now is Hajun Yoon’s decision.
Hajun Yoon thought for a moment and then nodded.
“Not bad.”
The rest of their lives will be long. Graduation may not have that big of an impact on them.
But I don’t bother to say it out loud.
Hajun Yoon is not that clueless.
When Yoon Ha-jun’s decision was made, Kim Tae-young said, ‘Okay!’ and clenched his fist.
“Then I will make a schedule. “Do you guys have any places you want to go?”
“If possible, let’s go somewhere where there aren’t a lot of people.”
“But I don’t like mountains or the countryside. “A suitable river or something like that is good.”
“Because we’re not the active type. “Wouldn’t it be better to just stay at a pension and have fun rather than a noisy place?”
“That’s fine. Oh, that’s right. “I heard that someone I met recently owns a pension near a valley on private property. Should I ask for a favor?”
“You seem to have a lot of money.”
“You must have a lot of money because you are an investor in an entertainment company. Anyway, if we go there we can hang out, would you like to go there?”
At Taeyoung Kim’s words, everyone looks at each other and nods.
I think it would be great because we can play just by ourselves and there is a valley nearby.
“Then let me talk about it.”
So the graduation trip was decided, and everyone started practicing again.
Seeing that, Hajun Yoon was about to practice again, but his eyes turned to one place.
For some reason, Jin So-hyang’s expression was not as bright as the other kids.
* * *
“Thank you all for your hard work!”
They practiced until late at night, said hello and finished practicing according to their respective schedules.
Now Han Go-yo has to go to the radio, and Yoon Soo-yeon and Kim Tae-young have to go to the broadcasting station to film.
The three quickly disappeared in the car, and in an instant, only Yoon Ha-jun and Jin So-hyang were left in the practice room.
The two looked at each other, and Jin So-hyang spoke first.
“Then I’ll go first.”
“The manager isn’t here, so are you going to take a taxi?”
“No, that’s not it. I just wanted to take a walk.”
“It’s late.”
It is now over 10 o’clock. Of course, it’s not that late, but it’s too late for popular idol Jin So-hyang to go alone.
In addition, you have to walk for over an hour to get to Jin So-hyang’s accommodation from here.
Jin So-hyang smiled at Yoon Ha-jun’s words and said.
“I just want to walk.”
“okay?”
“Yes, the day is cool and perfect, right?”
“The temperature is 31 degrees today?”
It’s already past mid-August, but it’s still quite hot.
Jin So-hyang said that it was okay, bowed her head, and started walking alone.
Yoon Ha-jun scratched his head as he watched Jin So-hyang walking alone. Somehow, I feel like I shouldn’t send it alone.
‘The whole time I was practicing, I didn’t look very good.’
Are you feeling unwell?
Or is it just a bad feeling?
While Ha-jun Yoon was thinking that, Jin So-hyang was walking down the street wearing a hat and mask.
I can hear the sounds of fast-moving cars and people laughing around me.
That sound somehow feels so distant.
‘Why do I feel this way?’
Jin So-hyang lightly frowned because she didn’t understand why she felt this way.
I didn’t feel bad at first, but after Taeyoung Kim suddenly started talking, I started to feel strange.
It’s not a bad thing.
Should I say there is something melancholy about it?
At a time when Jin So-hyang was having complicated thoughts, feeling like she couldn’t understand it herself, someone lightly tapped her shoulder from behind.
Jin So-hyang was startled by the touch and turned around. She then looked at the person in front of her and her eyes widened in surprise once again.
Even so, his big eyes got really big.
“Uh, what’s going on here?”
“I just felt like something wasn’t right. “Why don’t you send it alone?”
Jin So-hyang blinked at Yoon Ha-jun’s words.
Then, immediately afterward, he smiled.
As if I had never been in a melancholic mood, I suddenly felt better.
‘Oh yeah. ‘This person was looking at me too.’ That thought made me feel better.
“If it’s uncomfortable, I’ll just follow behind you.”
“No, it’s okay. Please just go with me next to you.”
“okay?”
“yes.”
Jin So-hyang nodded, and the two started walking down the night street.
Even though it was late at night, it was so hot that I was sweating.
In addition, they wore hats and masks to cover their faces, and it was very scary.
Despite this, Jin So-hyang did not feel any unpleasant emotions.
“Are you feeling better now?”
Yoon Ha-jun asks Jin So-hyang.
Then Jin So-hyang nods her head.
“Yes, it’s good now.”
“I’m glad. “But why was it bad before?”
Jin So-hyang shook her head at Yoon Ha-jun’s words. It’s not that he doesn’t want to talk, it’s that he really doesn’t know what to think.
“just. “When I heard what Taeyoung said, I felt bad.”
“What Taeyoung said? “You want to go on a trip together?”
“No, not that one. “Before that, about my school trip memories.”
“iced coffee.”
Jin So-hyang recalled that time. Kim Tae-young, who seems to be reminiscing, Han Go-yo, who looks empathetic, and Yoon Ha-jun, who is smiling.
Somehow, because they were the only ones who could sympathize with the story, I felt like I was left out.
Jin So-hyang, who was thinking such things, only then realized why she was in a bad mood.
“I see.”
“huh?”
“I’ve been thinking about why I felt bad, and now I think I understand.”
“okay? “What was it for?”
Jin So-hyang looked at Ha-jun Yoon after hearing his words. My gaze meets his drowsy-looking eyes.
The Wind Blows.
An unpleasant wind, hot and humid.
Feeling the wind, Jin So-hyang slowly opened her mouth.
“I feel like I have accumulated too little time with Ha-jun. I was just jealous of that. I also wanted to spend the same amount of time with Ha-jun, but I couldn’t. “I thought it was envious and shameful.”
