Chapter 220 – Is That Enough to Make You Cry…?
At the moment when Minji finished singing and everyone burst into laughter, Cheonbom pressed the space key on his laptop.
The video stopped and Soye and Haeun, who were having fun while watching, and Minji, who was covering her face in shame, immediately focused on her.
“Why are you like that?”
“No, that… Wait, can I listen to it one more time? Just sing.”
“Let’s watch it all the way through once. There is a lot going on after this.”
At my words, Cheonbom was quiet for a while, and then she nodded her head as if she understood.
Widely.
〈 Mr. King Dragon Girl! In the first song judge, you have to sing only.〉
〈, eh? Yes?〉
The video plays again, and Ha-eun laughs at the host’s line.
And while the rest of the video continued, Bom Cheon maintained her rather serious expression.
***
Park Min-ji’s song that Cheon Bom saw was a mess.
She was well aware of that fact because it was Cheonbom who helped her prepare this song in the first place.
‘Of course it’s a mess.’
The song is overly high-pitched, which does not suit Park Min-ji’s style, and there are parts where the lyrics and the song are a little out of sync thanks to the hasty translation of the lyrics.
Besides, when I sang on stage, I almost staggered in my breathing because I even danced.
She was able to explain how and why the song she was currently performing failed, and if it was Cheonbom, she could explain dozens of reasons.
‘But what? One thing…Something’s okay…?’
However, something got stuck in Cheonbom’s mind.
It wasn’t a weakness, but something that seemed to lead people’s hearts.
The feeling scratched Cheonbom’s heart like a thorn in her neck.
“…Wait. One more time.”
“Chun Bom, wait a minute. This is the 5th time”
At Cheonbom’s request, Sejin Lee stopped her.
“I will send you a separate video for this part. I think that would be better.”
“Eh eh eh!? Oh, oppa… Why do this to that woman…!”
“You’re sending me? Thank you.”
Lee Se-jin pats Park Min-ji, who is about to die in shame.
Watching Minji Park behind her, Bom Cheon continued to roll her head.
What is it?
What the hell is this feeling?

On the other hand, at that time, the conference room in front of the representative office up there.
CEO Lee Sa-ra and chief secretary Yu Ga-hye were watching the video taken by Manager Park Do-an.
However, it wasn’t just Soo-ae’s performance that the two of them saw.
The two continued to watch Minji Park’s performance.
“…That is all.”
When the recorded video is over, Manager Park speaks calmly.
“Okay, good job. Go see.”
“All right.”
At Isara’s command, Manager Park turned around and left without saying hello.
“Biseo Yoo, how did you see it?”
“Park Min-ji has a better reaction.”
Soo-ae took the lead in the evaluation of the song, but Park Min-ji was overwhelmingly good at people’s reactions.
It was a vivid video without any editing, so the difference in the reaction was clearly visible.
“Yes, Soo-ae lost. This won’t do much to promote Honey Girls. Rather…”
“The Queens and Minji Park will be better promoted.”
“Huh. Ah~ah~ This wasn’t what I wanted, but how did it turn out like this?”
Kikkik, Kikkik.
Isara spoke nonchalantly and she swung her chair around for a moment.
The top-of-the-line chair prepared for the representative rotated smoothly, and Isara, without saying a word, enjoyed the rotation before suddenly stopping with a chin.
“As for the skills, the Honey Girls are definitely better, right?”
“Yes.”
“They said he couldn’t sing and covered it with entertainment… He perfectly portrayed the role of the younger brother who was clumsy in a slapstick comedy.”
“It won’t be acting.”
“Okay? Then how did you show it like that?”
“Well…”
Clatter.
Isara tapped the desk quickly with her fingers for a moment.
After a while, she stopped her fingers and declared after about five minutes.
“Yes, then there is only one answer. Lucky.”
“Are you lucky…?”
“Huh. There’s no way I can say that he intended to do something like that. The gag god must have descended once.”
There is a saying that no matter how good your skills are, the lucky guy can’t win.
“You can’t win against a kid who has a bit of a knack for entertainment, and the god of comedy descended on the show.”
It’s like a natural disaster.
It is unavoidable and cannot be reproduced again.
If so, Park Min-ji will not be able to show such a good side again in the future, Isara judged.
“Then I can’t help losing… Since I accomplished the purpose of letting Soo-ae go, it can be considered a success. Soo-ae was definitely better at singing, right?”
“Yes, it has also been confirmed that the order is clearly followed. These two are clear achievements.”
“What did you say Soo Ae practiced?”
“It is imagination and infinite practice. It is the result of planting the thought ‘I sing well’ into the subconscious and then repeating the same song over and over again.”
“Okay, two are sure to work. Those two methods, let’s use them for other kids too.”
“All right.”
Yu Ga-hye nodded her head at Isara’s command, and she circled two items on the long list.
***
In the end, without being able to specify what she felt, Bom Cheon left Dao Entertainment first.
‘What the hell is it?’
Curiosity continued to plague Cheonbom.
Something unpleasant remained and continued to scratch Cheonbom’s nerves.
Cheonbom said that while she was driving, taking a bath, and lying in bed, she had to constantly suffer from that discomfort.
And the next morning.
It was when Cheonbom, who opened her eyes at 5 am as always, brewed her capsule coffee and took a sip.
‘The new coffee I bought doesn’t taste very good.’
The coffee I bought to test a new taste was strangely bad.
Obviously, the taste is good and there seems to be no difference compared to what I ate before, but when I drink it and pass it down my throat, the feeling is completely different.
Again.
Cheonbom threw away the coffee she was drinking and brewed a new coffee with the capsule she was drinking before taking a sip.
“Um, yes. This is it.”
A certain feeling that you feel the moment you take a sip, this feeling that I want to have.
Satisfied, Cheonbom finished drinking her coffee and stopped her movement.
“Ah. I get it.”
She finally realized why Park Min-ji’s song was still in her heart.
It was in that song that she kept thinking she was lacking lately.
The little lack she felt while composing idol songs, something that she obviously perfected but didn’t have.
That was felt in Park Min-ji’s song, and that’s why Cheon-bom was always concerned about that song.
And her realization leads to other questions.
“…That I lack enthusiasm?”
Lee Se-jin said that to Cheon-bom, who was wondering why she was so concerned after hearing Park Min-ji’s song yesterday.
Minji’s passion is contained in this song, and I wonder if she felt it.
Because of that, even though my skills are a bit lacking, it is a song that sounds good.
“It’s not like that.”
But when it comes to work, Cheonbom was a pro.
Not just with skill, but with passion.
There was never a lack of enthusiasm.
“Then what on earth is lacking?”
Thoughts that led to enlightenment and advice from others soon led to minor frustrations, and Cheonbom had to continue to suffer from that frustration until he went to work.
***
The next morning, in the car on the way to work.
Park Min-ji asked Lee Se-jin to increase her vocal lessons.
“You want more lessons?”
“Yes… I want to sing it properly next time…!”
Lee Se-jin praised her and the two older sisters said that she was very good, but the image she showed yesterday was Park Min-ji, who was ashamed of herself.
In addition, thanks to Cheonbom and listening to his songs over and over again, he clearly realized that he was lacking.
Next time, I’ll never show you something like this.
I will sing the right song
That would be something for the fans as well.
“Really?”
Upon hearing Park Min-ji’s request, Lee Se-jin’s eyes suddenly filled with tears.
“Oh, brother…? Why, why…?”
“I didn’t expect to hear our Minji asking for more lessons…”
“That’s about crying…?”
“Yes, yes.”
“It is impressive…”
It was Park Min-ji who was at a loss for words as the two older sisters from the side even chimed in.
“Okay, then I’ll give you a present!”
“Haeun unnie… A gift…?”
“Because I made a bet with Cheonbom and got another lesson ticket? You write that Then you will be able to take additional lessons right away without having to worry about the budget or schedule.”
Park Min-ji’s eyes go cold at those words.
But she soon nodded her head.
“Thank you…”
“Im here.”
The children all descend together with Baek Yena’s horse.
“Whew…”
Lee Se-jin, who got off third, saw Park Min-ji leading the way, and she let out a small sigh so that no one else could hear.
“What’s the matter?”
However, So-ye, who was paying more attention to Lee Se-jin than anyone else, heard her sigh as she got off last.
“Uh, no. Just…”
Lee Se-jin, who was vaguely evasive and looked at Park Min-ji, whispered to Shin So-ye.
“I want Minji and Cheonbom to be close friends.”
It was Lee Se-jin who caught the reaction that Park Min-ji was not very happy with Lim Ha-eun’s present.
As him, he would like not only Lim Ha-eun but also Park Min-ji to be close to Cheon-bom, but even though she took lessons several times and stayed together, Park Min-ji was still concerned that he looked at Cheon-bom unfavorably.
“I can’t help it. It will take some time.”
“Yeah, that’s right…”
Lee Se-jin nodded her head at Shin So-ye’s words.
But in his voice, it was very clear that he was sorry.
‘Umm, he seems to be very worried.’
Shin So-ye felt sorry for him.
If Lee Se-jin was worried, she was the one who cared about whatever it was.
‘Okay, then let me help you.’
And she was a woman who would do anything for Lee Se-jin.
