God of Music Chapter 137

Chapter 137

‘Wow, they’re at it pretty hard . ’

The members of Eddios and White Moonlight whispered among themselves .

‘What are they up to?’

HeeYoon also widened her eyes while feeling the tense atmosphere . Although she thought that KangYoon was the furthest thing away from a woman, her thoughts couldn’t be more wrong .

Regardless, Jung MinAh and Lee HyunAh didn’t seem to have any intentions of backing off .

‘Hm? Who’s she?’

‘Huh? Who’s this fiery fox?’

The two approached KangYoon step by step as though to emphasize that their Valentine’s gift was better . With that being the case, the two eventually b.u.mped shoulders, which made their expressions crumple .

At that moment, KangYoon spoke in a soft tone .

“A chocolate and a cake even; even HeeYoon had never done this for me . Thanks so much, girls . ”

KangYoon laughed and accepted both of the presents .

“Huh? What does it have to do with me?”

Then, HeeYoon, who was suddenly thrown under the bus, became angry .

“Lol . ”

Everyone giggled when that happened . The tense atmosphere was gone with it .

Only then did KangYoon clap his hands to get some attention .

“Well, then . Shall we start the meeting?”

Lee HyunAh and Jung MinAh went back to their seats and the meeting began for real .

KangYoon put down the presents on one side and started the meeting with a calm tone .

“According to the Heaven Charts, JiMin’s t.i.tle song was ranked 3rd this morning . Considering that Nael’s ranking is 15th right now, I can say that she’s doing extremely well . Her other songs are respectively ranked 7th, 16th, and 23rd . This is an extremely good achievement considering that this is two weeks in . Various events are coming in as well due to the popularity . JiMin, your schedule is quite packed nowadays, isn’t it?”

“Yes . it’s really really hard… . ”

Kim JiMin replied in a quiet voice . KangYoon then raised his hand before speaking .

“You’ll get even busier from now . Everyone, give her a round of applause in encouragement . ”

Receiving applause from her senior musicians, Kim JiMin blushed a little before bowing down . Satisfaction, pressure, and various other emotions crossed her mind .

Continuing on, KangYoon started to talk about Eddios .

“I’ll tell you your schedule through manager HyukJin, JiMin . Oh, and please do say if you need anything . ”

“Yes, sir . ”

“Okay, then . Next . Let’s go over to Jennie and MinAh . You two will have defined schedules from now . However, the others do not, correct?”

“……”

When KangYoon asked, the other members became a little dejected . KangYoon turned around to them and spoke .

“For Eddios’s complete comeback, we need all of you members . Does anyone perhaps think that they’re excluded when someone else is debuting solo?”

“No, never . Absolutely not . ”

Christie An replied in a surprised voice . At that moment, Jung MinAh grumbled .

“They say a strong rejection is an acceptance . ”

“Hey!”

“Lol . ”

When Jung MinAh spoke in a prankful tone, Christie shouted back in a loud voice . The people only chuckled .

“Do you think I’d be envious of a mere Jung MinAh?”

“You aren’t?”

“Never ever . ”

“Tch . ”

Seeing the two quarrel, the meeting room’s atmosphere lightened up a little .

KangYoon smiled and clapped his hands again . Then, attention was directed to him again .

“There, there . I’m glad that you think that way . Anyway, Once Jennie and MinAh’s matters go well, the others will get their own plans so please wait patiently . ”

“Okay . ”

After Eddios replied in a cheerful voice, KangYoon turned around to Kim JaeHoon and White Moonlight .

There weren’t many differences from the previous meeting . Kim JaeHoon would have his schedule centered around various events, and White Moonlight should steadily gain reputation with regular shows, and eventually have their major debut .

After KangYoon finished speaking, HeeYoon, the composer, and Lee HyunJi, the director, had their respective speaking times, and the artists also spoke about what they wanted from the company .

After all of them spoke, KangYoon finished up the meeting .

“We may be a small company right now, but we’re growing steadily thanks to everyone here . Along with the growth of the company, I’ll make sure that each of you will get something in return . Please work hard, everyone . ”

“Yes!”

The meeting ended on a good note .

When the artists left the studio, KangYoon also started to clean up . It was at that moment that Lee HyunAh approached him .

“Oppa . ”

KangYoon turned around when he heard that voice .

“Hm? What is it?”

“Uhm… please eat the cake first . ”

“Huh?”

After shyly speaking, she left without even receiving a reply .

“What was that about?”

KangYoon stood there absent-minded when Jung MinAh came to him this time . Unlike her usual cheerful self, she looked very nervous .

“MinAh, do you have anything to say?”

“It’s… G.o.ddammit! Ahjussi, chocolates are mu~ch better than cakes for snacks, okay? Definitely eat it first, okay?”

“What?”

Leaving behind incomprehensible words, Jung MinAh also ran out of the studio .

“What the h.e.l.l is up with them?”

KangYoon absent-mindedly looked at the door .

***

After Kim JiMin’s debut, KangYoon’s work outside the office had decreased a lot . Visiting Priella Entertainment a few days ago and visiting Lunas regularly was all of it .

Lee HyunJi joked around with KangYoon while she was reading a news article on her computer .

“It’s a natural thing for the CEO to be present at the office, but nowadays, I really find it awkward . ”

KangYoon shrugged his shoulders while sipping the coffee that Lee HyunJi brewed for him .

“Why is that? Is it that strange?”

“It’s not that, but you were outside the whole time . It’s somewhat new to have you here again . ”

“Me too . I feel a little off to be in the office . ”

After Lee HyunJi talked with KangYoon she turned around to her computer again . However, she wasn’t able to focus on her work that much . This was because calls that Jung HyeJin picked up were mostly directed towards her direction . However, Lee HyunJi did not complain and did her work with a smile . After some time, she worked on her matters even while having the call simultaneously .

‘Amazing . ’

Seeing Lee HyunJi like that, KangYoon was really surprised . On one hand, he was sorry for her as well . After all, this was all due to the lack of manpower . Although they were looking for people, Lee HyunJi’s strict personality meant that it wasn’t easy to find the right person for the job .

KangYoon was about to start working too when someone rang the doorbell from the first floor . Jung HyeJin hurried down and soon appeared again with a box in her hands .

“A delivery?”

KangYoon tilted his head . A delivery? He had never ordered anything .

Jung HyeJin gave KangYoon the box and the receipt .

“The s.h.i.+pping was already paid for . So I sent the man back after signing . ”

“Okay . ”

KangYoon looked at the invoice . While it was written in the alphabet, it wasn’t English .

“What language is this?”

“What is it?”

Lee HyunJi stood up from her seat and came to KangYoon’s . But at that moment, KangYoon had a closer look at the invoice before his eyes widened in surprise .

“Min JinSeo!?”

“What?”

Jung HyeJin asked back in surprise .

“Min JinSeo!? Do you mean the Min JinSeo from ‘A Spring Fantasy’?”

“Haha… . ”

Lee HyunJi also smiled awkwardly in disbelief when KangYoon shook his head and spoke .

“I’m not sure about the movie ‘A Spring Fantasy’, but that’s the only JinSeo I know of . Not like another JinSeo with the same name would send it to me . ”

“Whaaaat!?”

Jung HyeJin checked the invoice as well . On the invoice was written ‘To . MR . LEE KANG YOON’ in bold letters . Moreover, the address was correct as well . This was definitely not a misdelivery .

‘No… . no way!’

Jung HyeJin was shocked . Although she had seen many entertainers at the company, Min JinSeo was on a completely different level . There was no piece of work that she appeared in that failed to become big, which ent.i.tled her the Queen of Production, and whether it was looks or personality, she wasn’t lacking in anything . She was a super first-rate star, so to speak .

But such a person had sent a present here?

“P, president! O, o, open it!”

Jung HyeJin lost it and shouted out loud . KangYoon was surprised to see her more shocked than he was, but Jung HyeJin no longer had anything on her mind .

“Haha… . ”

KangYoon shrugged his shoulders and opened the box . There was a black box with the label ‘RoCa’ on top of it . When he opened the little box, dark chocolate pieces were lined up in a neat fas.h.i.+on .

However, Lee HyunJi’s expression was colored in shock this time .

“My word! It’s Roca . ”

“Roca?”

KangYoon asked Lee HyunJi . He had never seen her so surprised before . When he asked the reason, Lee HyunJi gulped and told him about the chocolate .

“Roca is one of the most expensive brands of chocolate in the world . I saw it once in Denmark . It’s a chocolate that’s given as room service for suite rooms at a 7-star hotel . JinSeo, this girl sent something incredible . ”

“Haha… . ”

This chocolate was no longer chocolate, it was more like precious gold . KangYoon also gulped in surprise .

“Aaah, I was planning to get one from you… but I guess I can’t . ”

Lee HyunJi shook her head . Jung HyeJin also could not hide her shock . She was surprised at KangYoon in many different ways .

“I can’t send this back… It’s somewhat difficult . ”

KangYoon had it hard himself . It wasn’t like he could send a Valentine’s present in return . This also meant that he had to do something for her after receiving something so expensive .

“I can’t send it over to MG either… . ”

‘Should I ask director Lee… no, no . Sheesh . I’m thankful that you think so much of me JinSeo, but what do I do for White Day? Phew… . ’

Where was he supposed to find a present on Roca’s level? He had a headache thinking about the ever-approaching White Day .

KangYoon decided to stop thinking about it, and put the chocolate inside his drawers before locking it .

“Such a waste…”

“You tell me… . ”

Looking at the locked drawers, Lee HyunJi and Jung HyeJin licked their lips in pity .

4:17 a . m .

The sun hadn’t risen yet .

At the door to the dorms, Lee SamSoon was wearing her trainers .

“Have a good time . ”

Although it was still early dawn, all the members of Eddios had woken up to send Lee SamSoon off . Even Ailee, who usually slept in, waved her hand at her .

Lee SamSoon smiled back at the members .

“I’ll be off then . ”

“Get lots of screen time . ”

Along with Han JooYeon’s words, Lee SamSoon closed the door and left the dorms . Jung MinAh left with her to send her off properly . She was planning to walk with her to the car .

In front of the dorm, KangYoon was waiting for Lee SamSoon in front of the van .

“Eh? Team leader?”

“Eek? Ahjussi!”

Lee SamSoon didn’t know that she would see him but bowed towards him nonetheless . However, Jung MinAh behind her was very surprised and turned her face away . She even pulled down her baseball cap and tried her best to not expose her face to KangYoon .

“Have you slept well?”

“Yes . Why are you here, president? What about SangHo-oppa?”

Lee SamSoon replied comfortably at KangYoon’s question . Meanwhile, Jung MinAh couldn’t even raise her head .

“He’s in the car . This is an important matter so I thought I should have a look myself . ”

“Ooh . ”

Lee SamSoon was very relieved to see KangYoon act like this . All of his actions planted faith in her .

“Hop on . We need to get breakfast before we get there . ”

“Yes . ”

Lee SamSoon got onto the van . KangYoon took her luggage and put it in the back .

After the luggage, KangYoon also got on as well .

Before he closed the door, KangYoon spoke to Jung MinAh who still looked down without being able to speak .

“MinAh, I saw your real face a lot already so you don’t need to hide it from me . ”

“Ah, shees.h.!.+ Ahjussi!”

“Hahaha, I’ll be off then . ”

Seeing Jung MinAh embarra.s.sed, KangYoon laughed before closing the door .

The location for the shoot was in Hoengseong, Gangwon-do . It took around 2 hours by car from Seoul to Hoengseong . However, it took an extra hour to get to the little valley that they were going to shoot in .

The shoot began at 8 in the morning . As they had plenty of time, KangYoon and company were able to visit a rest stop on the highway .

“Are you fine with just that?”

KangYoon asked Lee SamSoon who had banquet noodles for breakfast . She said that it was okay .

“You’ll be hungry when you begin shooting . The filming will go for the entire day so you won’t know when you’ll have your mealtime again . ”

“That’s true . ”

As KangYoon advised, Lee SamSoon bought some more snacks . Due to the characteristics of this program, it was unknown if she was able to eat well or not, but personal health had to be taken care of by the person . It should also be possible to eat when the cameras did not film them so it would be good to have some snacks on hand .

The van eventually arrived at Hoengseong . The road narrowed down and became b.u.mpier .

“Ah, it’s spinning… . ”

Lee SamSoon was p.r.o.ne to car sickness and laid down on the seat .

“Get some sleep until we get there .

KangYoon consoled Lee SamSoon and made her rest .

This was the first shoot, her condition was very important .

A little time had pa.s.sed after Lee SamSoon fell asleep .

“President, is that him?”

Manager Jung SangHo, who was on the wheel, asked while looking at the a.s.sistant director standing on the road . KangYoon had a look and nodded before waking Lee SamSoon up .

“SamSoon . Wake up . We’re here . ”

“Uuugh . ”

It seemed that having a nap was useful as she woke up with a very bright expression .

The van stopped in front of the a.s.sistant director . When KangYoon opened the door, Lee SamSoon got off with the big bag .

“Miss Jennie . h.e.l.lo?”

“h.e.l.lo . ”

Lee SamSoon politely greeted the staff before turning around to the camera . The camera was already recording .

“The manager can return now . ”

“What?”

Lee SamSoon’s eyes widened hearing producer Yeo WoonHyun’s words . She was very confused . Weren’t the managers going to stick around? She thought that the managers would keep watching the shoot, but that didn’t seem to be the case .

However, KangYoon nodded his head as though he knew this already .

“Please take care of our Jennie . ”

“Yes, of course . ”

KangYoon no longer spoke and closed the van’s doors .

“Huuh? President, president!!”

Lee SamSoon panicked and called out to KangYoon, but the van left without leaving anything behind .

The camera caught that the van had abandoned her .

“Lol . ”

The staff giggled and some of the villagers laughed at the reactions of the cute girl as well .

Producer Yeo WoonHyun approached .

“Please put your phone here as well . ”

His hands were holding a basket . There were a few phones in there . They belonged to the cast that had arrived before her .

‘This place… is no joke . ’

She thought as she handed the phone in . This shoot wasn’t going to be so easy .
