EP1 – My younger brother was a genius. (2)
2.
The first thing I did to prepare for my future was to quit the vocal academy I was attending. Now that you’ve quit singing, going to vocal academy and paying the ridiculously expensive tuition is a waste of money.
Instead, I purchased a composition program using my laptop. Of course, these are all mom card opportunities. Mom, I’m sorry! My son will make a lot of money this time and be filial!
Actually, I didn’t want to get help from my mom. But right now, mom’s help is essential. Feeling guilty, I play the composition program.
It would be nice to have an electronic keyboard as well, but that would be impossible. Even the price of this composition program is not an amount that can be ignored.
I can’t believe you scratch your stomach and ask me to buy something like this without even thinking about it. What was I really doing in the past? Connect the earphones to your laptop and put them in your ears.
After that, I start composing. The first song I made was a song called ‘swipe’, which was the most popular song I made in my previous life.
Well, even though it was the most popular, it never entered the charts. Anyway, the review itself was a pretty good song.
The problem is that recording a guide is impossible. That can’t be helped. I have no choice but to save my pocket money and use a self-recording studio.
I listen to the songs I created and make changes. Are you okay with this? To be honest, I’m anxious. Among the kids attending Seolun Arts High School, there must be one or two geniuses.
Of course, at this level, you will receive good evaluations at school. If I don’t get good reviews from high school students, my life becomes very miserable.
But what I’m aiming for is a full scholarship. And to receive a full scholarship, you need to get more than just good evaluations. It must receive overwhelmingly positive reviews.
How much work did you do like that? The dark outside begins to brighten. Oh my, I was so excited about composing for the first time in a long time and I overdid it.
If you want to grow taller, you need to go to bed early. After stretching a lot, I stand up. It was for a quick wash before going to sleep.
Leave the room, go to the bathroom, and take a quick shower. And now, as I was about to go back to my room and sleep, I saw Suyeon with the light on in her room.
what? Are you not asleep yet? Or do you sleep with the light on? If she sleeps with the light on, carefully enter Sooyeon’s room to turn off the light.
“Are you awake already?”
When I opened the door to the room and went inside, Suyeon, who was studying, spoke to me. It’s late at night. What is he doing instead of sleeping? Then you must be tired.
“Have you slept yet?”
“No, you just woke up?”
“······It’s 5 o’clock now?”
“huh.”
My younger brother was a model student who was much more diligent than I thought.
“What time did you go to bed last night?”
“I went to bed at 10, I guess.”
“Do not work too hard.”
“It’s my brother.”
Well, that’s not something I should say since I don’t sleep until 5 am. As an older brother, I have to be an example to my younger brother. After nodding, I leave Suyeon’s room.
Suyeon’s snoring sound was heard.
§ § §
I hate winter. To be more precise, I hate being cold and dry. Sniffing, I take a deep breath and put on my hood. Perhaps because of the strong wind, my ears hurt.
“Is this right here?”
I sniffle and look at my phone. It’s been a while since I used my old phone, and I’m having a hard time getting used to it. I miss the latest cell phone. With that in mind, I look at the map displayed on my phone screen.
Obviously, where is this place? Why do they all look so similar? 10 minutes of walking around places that look so similar. I finally found my destination.
[Howl Studio.]
It is a self-service studio that rents out money and is the cheapest among the studios in our neighborhood. And it’s also a shabby studio.
After looking at the exterior of the shabby and dirty building, I go down to the basement of the building. Then open the thick iron door and go inside. The musty smell of dust stings my nose along with the warm heat.
“who are you.”
“My name is Hajun Yoon, who made a reservation today.”
At my answer, the man sitting at the counter stood up. He is a man with an impressive unshaven beard. Age: late 20s to early 30s? It doesn’t seem like a lot.
“Two hours, right?”
“yes.”
“The amount is to be paid in advance.”
Still, I like him very much because he is young and doesn’t speak informally to me. I take my wallet out of my pocket and hand over the amount of money I brought with me. One third of the pocket money I had saved so far was gone in this one incident.
Although it is painful, it is a necessary expense. The man who received the money guides you to the recording studio. Despite its shabby appearance, the equipment is quite up-to-date.
“Do you know how to use it?”
“yes.”
There is not much difference from the equipment I used in my previous life. The man nods once and leaves the recording studio. After looking at his machine a few times, he takes a USB stick out of his pocket.
Then plug it into the machine and play SWIPE’s MR. This is not an official recording, but a guide recording, so let’s record lightly.
Anyway, the owner of this song will be someone other than me. I don’t know who that will be. Think of the names that immediately come to mind and focus on recording.
Recording wasn’t that difficult. This is a song that was already made once in the first place. It’s a song with all the melody and lyrics, and it’s a song I’ve already sung hundreds or thousands of times.
However, I am dissatisfied with the lack of production. In my past life, I’ve rarely produced anything myself. Even though I did the composing, arranging, and writing of the lyrics, I left the producing to a professional producer.
But from now on, I have to do the producing myself. That’s why I record and produce myself, even if I’m not satisfied with it.
Still, the time spent learning over my shoulder must have gone nowhere, and the results were not too bad. Of course, it’s not finished yet, but it can’t be helped. Time is all over.
I finish the work with a sense of regret. Just wait until you enter school. Seolun Arts High School has its own recording studio and studio, and any current student can use it by simply applying.
“Did you do a good job?”
As I left the recording studio, a man spoke to me.
I nod my head cautiously.
“Yeah, well. I think it’s okay.”
“The song is good. Did you make it yourself?”
“Oh, did you hear that?”
“The door didn’t close properly.”
Wow, I wasn’t careful enough.
I’ll have to check carefully next time.
“Our studio is open 24 hours a day, so you can come anytime.”
The man who said that took out a business card and gave it to me.

[Won Seong-min]
Receive a business card with only your name, phone number, and address briefly written on it and put it in your wallet. I really want to work 24 hours a day, but my wallet doesn’t allow me to do that.
After saying hello to Seongmin Won, I leave the studio. When you come out of a warm place into a cold place, your body naturally shrinks.
“Ugh, it’s cold.”
Is this because my body hasn’t grown yet? It’s colder than when I was an adult. She hurries her steps toward home. And when I arrived home, Suyeon welcomed me.
“Did you go to academy?”
“huh.”
Suyeon nods while watching TV. She takes off her clothes and sits comfortably on her sofa to watch TV. On TV, the stage of Hwayangyeonhwa, one of the idols, was in full swing. Hwayangyeonhwa, come to think of it, the youngest over there was a student at Seolwoon Arts High School, right?
I think the youngest was in the same class as me. If so, she should definitely become friends. Hwayangyeonhwa will be a huge success next year.
“They say don’t trust men~, you shouldn’t trust them~”
Su-yeon sings along to the lyrics, which seem quite childish. A voice that feels moist. I wake up when I hear that voice, which is completely different from Suyeon’s usual voice.
What did I just hear wrong?
I can’t believe my ears.
But my ears were perfectly fine.
“Suyeon.”
After thinking about it for a while, I call Suyeon. Then Sooyeon looked at me. The chubby cheeks that haven’t disappeared yet are so cute. I say this to Suyeon.
“Do you want to sing a song?”
“now?”
“Yes, now.”
“It’s embarrassing.”
“Well, what do you think? It’s your brother.”
Actually, I thought I would be more embarrassed because he was my older brother, but I answered shamelessly. Suyeon thought about my words for a moment and then spoke.
“That’s why I hate it even more.”
“I’ll give you pocket money.”
“What song shall we sing?”
“Just sing whatever song you like.”
Once again, Suyeon is worried. She bit her small lips and thought seriously, and then she spoke with a smile on her face.
“I’ll sing the forgotten season!”
Forgotten season. This is the OST of a drama that is very popular right now. It’s a kind of cheat-like song, a ballad that brings tears to your eyes just by listening to it.
Suyeon got up from her seat.
And after clearing his throat once, he starts singing.
-Now I know that our breakup wasn’t a lie.
Why am I still going through the season we had together?
For a moment, it seemed like time had stopped. Of course, time has not really stopped. It just means I was that shocked. I look at Suyeon blankly.
A moist and appealing voice reminiscent of night fog. Refreshing vocalization and excellent delivery of lyrics. Even high notes are easily handled.
What on earth is that?
Suyeon has never learned to sing.
I know that better than anyone else.
But that’s the level of skill.
And people call such beings like this.
‘genius’
therefore,
My younger brother was a genius.
