Chapter 409:


    “Let''s ask them.”


    “Yes.”


    The marketing team nodded at the team leader''s words.


    Image was important for a song, and they didn''t want to be associated with a twisted doughnut.


    ‘It''s strange.’


    The team leader didn''t know why he thought of his first days at the company.


    They were all nice kids, but he had a hard time back then.


    He shook his head and said,


    “Hwang Ye-jun. Play the guide song.”


    “Yes, sir.”


    Hwang Ye-jun smiled and clicked on the file next to him.


    Ding-.


    “What is this?”


    “It''s a chime. It sounds very clear, right? It''s a metal plate with rods hanging from it. It''s made of a stone called gyeongseok.”


    Hwang Ye-jun pretended to hit something with a transparent rod. The team leader opened his mouth in a serious tone.


    “Change the file name.”


    “Yes, sir.”


    A moment later.


    The guide song for the 37th song came out of the speaker.


    There were no lyrics yet, so the song was composed of random words and ‘ah-’ sounds that came to mind.


    But thanks to Hwang Ye-jun, the vocal of Brown Black, who was known as the concert idol and ranked first in the concerts that everyone wanted to see at least once, the guide song had a unique charm. It suited the mood of Blue Moon perfectly.


    “This is good as it is, isn''t it?”


    “It''s a bit different from what I imagined, but I wonder how it will sound when Blue Moon sings it.”


    As soon as the guide song ended, the staff exclaimed in admiration.


    The team leader looked proud.


    ‘Our kid sings well.’


    Blue Moon, who had been listening with their mouths open, praised him endlessly.


    The guide song was so cool that they were worried that they wouldn''t be able to record it as well, but more than that, they were excited that this cool song was theirs.


    “I made it like this for now. How is it?”


    “It''s awesome! Ye-jun hyung.”


    Not only Seo-jun, but also the other people in the meeting room expressed their opinions with excited faces.


    Hwang Ye-jun smiled broadly.


    “Then we have the song ready. We need to adjust the choreography according to the song, so give the guide song to the trainer.”


    “Yes.”


    A team member answered.


    The team leader turned his head and looked at Seo-jun.


    “Seo-jun, are you okay with dance practice?”


    It had been a few days since he started his first dance lesson, so he should have an idea of whether he could dance well enough for the music video or not.


    It was originally a role that they planned to hire one of the dance teams for, so it could be hard for Seo-jun, who was an actor. If he was struggling, they could change it back to him appearing as an actor only.


    “No, don''t worry. It''s fun.”


    Seo-jun smiled and answered confidently.


    “Team leader. Seo-jun is amazing!”


    “The trainer said he''s good too!”


    Rather than Seo-jun himself, it was Blue Moon who boasted about his skills.


    The team leader smiled at their appearance.


    “Then we need to write lyrics and record them... Ye-jun will help you with recording.”


    Oh. Recording! Blue Moon''s faces froze with excitement.


    Only Seo-jun, who had nothing to do with recording or vocals and was close to Hwang Ye-jun, tilted his head slightly with a calm face.


    “Ye-jun hyung?”


    “Yeah. Seo-jun is in the music video too! And since it''s my song anyway, I thought it would be okay to do recording too. I have a lot of time these days!”


    Hwang Ye-jun said with a smile. Choi Jae-won''s face flushed and he said,


    “We’re happy!”


    He couldn''t miss this opportunity to work with Hwang Ye-jun sunbae, who was famous for composing and producing.


    “Thank you!”


    The other members also stood up and bowed deeply to Hwang Ye-jun and shouted.


    Their faces were so red and excited that Seo-jun and the other staff chuckled.


    “And about the lyrics... Do you want to try writing them?”


    “Us?!”


    Baek Yi-hyun raised his voice in surprise at the team leader''s words.


    “Well, you know that one of the members of Brown Black composed and produced the song, right? And an actor from our company is in the music video too.”


    Hwang Ye-jun and Seo-jun smiled brightly. Blue Moon nodded their heads nervously.


    The team leader told them about the idea that came up during the meeting with the staff.


    “So we thought it would be better to do everything internally as much as possible. And if you guys participate too, it will be a good topic. So we decided to leave the lyrics to you.”


    “Yes...”


    Blue Moon nodded their heads blankly.


    An A&R team staff member said with a smile,


    “You can write it simply. We’ll have a lyricist check it.”


    “Won''t it be hard? What if they say this kind of lyrics won''t do?”


    “I’ll be back in a bit. I''m going to see Da Ho hyung. You guys go ahead to the practice room.”


    “Uh, okay...”


    He was quick to act once he made up his mind.


    The Blue Moon members stared blankly at Seo-jun who moved right away.


    Maybe that was what made Seo-jun a superstar.


    The leader of Blue Moon, choi Jae-won, opened his mouth.


    “Should we try it properly too?”


    Not just choosing words or moods for the concept setting, but making sure that the sentences they thought of became lyrics completely.


    Properly.


    “And so.”


    Blue Moon nodded their heads.


    ***


    Seo-jun headed straight to the office of Team 2, where Ahn Da Ho would be.


    “Hello, seo-jun.”


    “You''re late?”


    “Hello! I was late because I went to the Blue Moon meeting!”


    The Team 2 staff greeted Seo-jun with a smile, and Seo-jun also smiled brightly and greeted them.


    The Team 2 staff sensed something from Seo-jun''s face, which was more sparkling than usual.


    ‘Ah-ha. Seo-jun found something!’


    Whether it was a script, a novel, or a fairy tale book.


    There was no doubt that he had found a work he wanted to do.


    They could tell that just by looking at Seo-jun''s expression, even without any words.


    The staff of Team 2, who thought they knew Seo-jun better than anyone else, regretfully gathered the scripts and books they had been looking at.


    Since Seo-jun had found a work himself, there was nothing left for the staff to do.


    The veteran manager of actor Lee Seo-jun, Ahn Da Ho, also closed the script he was reading with a grin and looked at Seo-jun''s sparkling face.


    “Seo-jun. Did you find a work?”


    Seo-jun shook his head with a smile at Ahn Da Ho''s question.


    “No. That''s not it.”


    “...Not?”


    The fact that their expectations were wrong surprised the staff of Team 2 and the veteran manager of actor Lee Seo-jun.


    ‘...Then why are you so sparkling?’


    ‘There should be nothing else...’


    While the staff and Ahn Da Ho were wondering, seo-jun opened his mouth with a still sparkling face.


    “I want to write it myself.”


    ...!


    The staff of Team 2 and the veteran manager opened their eyes wide.


    They thought they knew Seo-jun better than anyone else, but this was something they never expected.


    “So... you want to write the script yourself? Not an adaptation?”


    Seo-jun nodded his head and opened his mouth at Ahn Da Ho''s question.


    “Yes. I''ve been looking for it since May, but I can''t find anything I like. I don''t think anything suitable will come out even if I look more. So I thought it would be okay if I just wrote it myself. And I also want to create a work from the script.”


    Ahn Da Ho pondered for a moment at Seo-jun''s words.


    ‘What if Seo-jun''s work doesn''t get good reviews...’


    The evaluation was not important.


    The impact of that evaluation on Seo-jun was important.


    He was worried about what to do if he got hurt by any chance.


    But nothing could precede Seo-jun''s will.


    Ahn Da Ho asked Seo-jun, who was shining his eyes brightly.


    “Do you really want to do it?”


    Ahn Da Ho had no intention of stopping Seo-jun''s challenge as long as it was not a wrong thing. No matter what happened,


    ‘We’ll cover it for him.’


    That''s why there was Team 2 dedicated to actor Lee Seo-jun.


    Seo-jun smiled brightly at Ahn Da Ho''s question.


    “Yes! I want to do it.”


    “Then you should do it.”


    Ahn Da Ho nodded his head with a smile.


    The Team 2 staff who were worried like Ahn Da Ho also shrugged their shoulders and started to move.


    “What do you need to write?”


    “Seo-jun has done adaptations before, so he must know the structure of the script well.”


    “The important thing is the idea, right?”


    “Seo-jun. Do you have anything you want to write?”


    “I have to think about it from now on.”


    “You’ll need some materials for SF. I’ll collect them right away.”


    “You’ll also need some books on writing techniques, right? I’ll find some that have good reviews.”


    “It would be good to ask some writers too.”


    Seo-jun expressed his gratitude to them for moving swiftly as soon as he made his decision.


    “Thank you all so much.”


    The staff of Team 2 dedicated to actor Lee Seo-jun and the veteran manager smiled brightly at his sincere thanks.
