The drums played a strong beat with the high hat from the get-go.
Following that, the bass guitar and the other instruments started playing as well.
‘It’s our song!’
Although it was slightly different, the familiar melody made the members of Eddios cheer up.
This was Eddios’s title song ‘Ready’, rearranged into a rock version.
‘Me, me.’
Han JooYeon pointed at herself telling them that she would do the opening and everyone else nodded.
…Poor Seo HanYu couldn’t even approach the mic since she was the youngest.
While the distorted guitar and the strong bass hit their chests, Han JooYeon softly shouted.
“A certain someone — wants to be consoled – even more –”
After that Christie picked up the mic next while Kim JiMin and the others also started singing joyfully.
The other members of Eddios did some light dancing, while the other vocalists tried to imitate them.
‘This is nice.’
KangYoon adjusted the mixer and looked at the singers with a satisfied expression.
At that moment, Lee HyunJi poked at KangYoon.
‘Can you get me a line as well?’
‘What? Which one?’
When KangYoon asked, Lee HyunJi pointed at the empty synthesizer.
‘That one.’
‘Hahaha. It’s good to hang around with the kids like this. Okay, then.’
When KangYoon gave permission, Lee HyunJI headed to the synthesizer.
As the sheet music stand and the scores were already there, he just needed to set the sound.
Lee HyunJi set the synthesizer at a medium volume and started playing it. At the same time, KangYoon’s hand movements quickened as well.
‘The light became a little dimmer.’
KangYoon quickly adjusted the volume and the equalizer for the synthesizer. The synthesizer was affecting the overall sound due to the loud volume.
Not long later, the light became brighter than before.
The synthesizer was now synergizing well with the rest of the sounds.
‘Wow.’
Kim JinDae, who was playing basic beats, widened his eyes after seeing Lee HyunJi. He did not know that he would get to jam with the director of the company. It was like his bias was destroyed.
However, that only lasted a moment.
The ample music tied the people into one.
“On a worn out day, I embrace you and —”
As the song reached its peak, the brass died down and the electric guitar did a magnificent solo phrase.
“Ooh!”
Jung ChanGyu showed off a right-hand tapping technique which made the members of Eddios and Kim JiMin cheer out loud.
‘They’re going quite far even though this is just the beginning.’
As KangYoon emphasized flow usually, this kind of a fancy start seemed like going too aboveboard.
‘Nah, we’re supposed to be jamming so who cares.’
It was one of his work habits. They were just playing around right now.
They were having a good time so there was no reason to point that out.
After Jung ChanGyu’s right-hand tapping technique died down, the drums and the bass guitar decorated the end of the first song.
Like that, the first jam ended.
“Oooh— Eddios!”
Ailee’s excited last words made everyone else laugh.
As the first song was strong, both the singers and the instrument players heaved deep breaths.
Then, Lee HyunJi started playing something quiet.
“Oh?”
Kim JiMin reacted to the familiar melody first.
This was her debut song ‘Speak Happy Day’ that she played with a guitar.
“This feels rather new hearing it being played by a piano.”
The melody was calm and relaxing.
Lee HyunAh closed her eyes and focused on the piano melody.
“Unni, let’s do it together.”
“Me?”
Hearing Kim JiMin’s words, Lee HyunAh cheerfully nodded.
The members of Eddios urged the two to sing as well.
“My heart is still shy – I want to hide it yet–”
Lee HyunAh sang first and signaled the start of the new song.
To match Lee HyunJi’s relaxing piano melody, Lee HyunAh sang with a husky-ish voice as well.
“Happy Day — we–”
Kim JiMin’s style of singing was completely different from Lee HyunAh’s.
KangYoon was surprised to see the white light coming from two entirely different styles of singing.
‘It’s the same song, but it feels like it’s entirely different. Both JiMin and HyunAh have powerful voices, but the nuance from their voices is different. HyunAh is a little rougher while JiMin is soft. It’s definitely different.’
But their voices were still completely complimentary.
“Dreaming of our future — Happy Day –”
In the chorus, the other instruments added other effects and the members of Eddios began singing as well. Many fancy effects were added and the song became ample.
In front of KangYoon’s eyes, more than ten musical notes were being combined into one.
Also…
‘Silver?’
When Eddios’s chorus was added, something shinier started showing itself in the middle of the white light.
That foreign substance became larger especially when Ailee’s voice was added.
‘Should I boost her a little more?’
KangYoon raised the volume of the mic that Ailee was holding. He also adjusted the equalizer.
When he did, the foreign substance within the white light gradually took over the white light.
However, there was a problem. Christie’s notes slightly decreased the effects of the foreign substance.
‘She’s strained her voice too much.’
Christie An had a pretty voice. However, she lacked power. From how she was covering one of her ears, it seemed that she wasn’t able to listen to her own voice and was shouting because of that.
KangYoon raised Christie’s voice on the monitoring speakers and decreased her voice on the overall speakers.
‘The chorus was what was lacking in JiMin’s song?’
KangYoon came to a realization after seeing this coincidence.
‘Speak Happy Day’ was the song that ended just before it turned completely silver. He found a clue to that song right here.
As the song continued, the piano turned into a string. Along with that, the drums, the bass guitar, and the electric guitar softened down as well.
They were nearing the end of the song.
“We are full — of excitement — are we already in love ——”
“Aaah—”
In the end, the white light turned completely silver and shone beautifully. At the same time, it made KangYoon’s heart refreshed.
“Sir, did something good happen?”
After finishing singing, Kim JiMin asked KangYoon with curiosity and KangYoon shrugged as he replied.
“Something good did happen.”
“What is it?”
“I’ll tell you later. Rather than that…”
KangYoon stretched his arms before standing next to Kim JiMin. He then picked up the acoustic guitar placed next to her.
“President?”
When Jung MinAh asked in curiosity, KangYoon smiled as he spoke.
“Everyone’s playing around, so I can’t be the one left out. Let’s do it together.”
“Hahaha!”
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere brightened even further.
‘I’m so envious. I, too…’
Meanwhile, In MoonHee, who watched as all of this happened looked at the singers in envy.
***
“Phew, that’s fortunate.”
JooAh was visiting the headquarters of MG Entertainment, and she was drinking coffee at director Lee HanSeo’s office.
“What is?”
“I heard you’re staying here for the time being. Fortunately, I have some room to breathe.”
Director Lee HanSeo chuckled after seeing that JooAh was honest about her opinions.
This cheerful lady was the same whether in the past or now.
However…
‘Just what is happening with the company?’
As time passed, this company was straying further and further.
They ended up contracting a construction company and started saving up.
There was a lot of debt as well. Signs of ruin could be seen everywhere.
“How about some tea with…”
“I like coffee better.”
“……”
JooAh’s love for coffee hadn’t changed.
Director Lee HanSeo coughed before speaking again.
“Your schedule has increased recently, hasn’t it?”
“Yeah. The rest period has gotten shorter as well… Well, I’ll only get busier now that they started digging.”
“Pfft, digging, you say.”
When director Lee HanSeo chuckled, JooAh replied.
“I’m right, aren’t I? Just why are they constructing a new building at this time? Can our budget even hold out when we’re building a fancy office building? Ah, I don’t even want to think about it. I should just work.”
“…Maybe that’s for the better.”
Director Lee HanSeo also sighed at this frustrating state that the company was in.
‘If push comes to the shove and our financial state becomes bad to the point of having to sell company stocks… no way.’
As stupid as they were, they wouldn’t be that stupid.
“Let’s stop talking about this. Oh, I met JinSeo last time…”
JooAh switched topics saying that she had a headache and the two continued their conversation.
***
“You will come to me again -”
Kim JaeHoon’s voice and Seo HanYu’s voice created a harmony while many other instruments decorated their voices.
“The good memories – the beautiful moments–”
Seo HanYu’s voice shook as she was deeply emotional.
In front of her, Jung MinAh was performing some modern dance, something she had been learning recently.
At the chorus, Kim JiMin and Lee HyunAh decorated the song even further with a soft harmony.
When the song faded out, everyone started cheering.
“Wow! This is awesome!”
Wiping the sweat on her forehead, Jung MinAh smiled. It was very good to dance like that with everyone together.
Joy was flowing in everyone’s eyes as they all received the effects of the jam
“Today’s mood is awesome.”
“I wish it can be like this every day.”
Everyone agreed to Kim JinDae and Jung ChanGyu’s words.
Just as everyone was wondering what they should do next, KangYoon approached In MoonHee who was absent-mindedly sitting.
“MoonHee.”
“…..”
“In MoonHee”
“…Yes!?”
In MoonHee, who was watching the singers jamming with envious eyes all this time, abruptly stood up after hearing KangYoon call out to her.
“Why are you so surprised?”
“Uhm that’s…”
“Come here.”
“Eh? Me?”
When In MoonHee hesitated despite KangYoon’s call, Kim JaeHoon added as well.
“You should come over.”
“Oh, but I…”
“Unni, come over here.”
When even Kim JiMin urged her, In MoonHee walked forward.
When Kim JaeHoon gave In MoonHee the mic, KangYoon spoke.
“How about a trot as our last song?”
“Why don’t we go with ‘Journey’?”
In MoonHee nodded at Kim JaeHoon’s proposal.
The song titled Journey was a trot song that was popular amongst all ages.
The reactions of Eddios were split though.
‘Is that unni good?’
‘I don’t know…’
Han JooYeon and Christie An were rather conservative while Jung MinAh and Seo HanYu were different.
“Unni, go for it!”
“Break a leg!”
In MoonHee picked up the mic while receiving mixed gazes from her younger seniors.
KangYoon spoke.
“Let’s go with the C key.”
“Okay.”
Lee HyunJi was the most joyful at KangYoon’s words.
As she was playing the keyboard, the C key was the easiest to play.
Soon, the song began with the drums.
Along with some sax sounds from the synthesizer, the bass amply supported the music while In MoonHee sang.
“The journey with my beloved–”
“Oooh! In MoonHee! In MoonHee!”
Jung MinAh and Seo HanYu started cheering for their junior.
In MoonHee blushed and added more power into her voice.
“As long as I’m with my beloved — today is the –”
“Ooh!!”
Kim JaeHoon and Kim JiMin also chimed in with the cheering.
The practice room soon practically became a cabaret.
‘Sheesh, MoonHee is really…’
KangYoon had a surprised expression while playing the acoustic guitar.
In MoonHee’s voice seemed to have a charm of its own. KangYoon felt that he was subconsciously putting more power into his hands.
Han JooYeon and Christie An, who were wary at first, had both joined the chorus now, while Seo HanYu and Jung MinAh were enjoying the mood with dancing.
‘…Seonbae-nim. World’s mood is awesome.’
‘Yeah, did you feel that too?’
The people that were holding the cameras had a hard time trying not to move their shoulders along with the music.
***
After In MoonHee’s song was over, all the songs they had scheduled for the day were finished.
“Well done everyone.”
KangYoon spoke but everyone seemed disappointed.
Sympathizing with them, Lee HyunJi spoke.
“President. We’re done recording, so why don’t we just play around?”
“Play around?”
Everyone turned around to Lee HyunJi.
“Well… it can’t be helped if we’re busy, but since we’ve set everything up, I feel like this is a little too short.”
“Hm…”
KangYoon turned to look around at the others as well. Everyone’s expression was flushed.
‘More, more!’
KangYoon naturally knew their desire after reading their expressions.
In the end, he shrugged his shoulders and spoke.
“Then shall we stay here for a bit longer?”
“Ooooh!”
When KangYoon picked up the acoustic guitar again, everyone started cheering.
Like that, World Entertainment’s jamming session continued for a long time.
***
A few videos were uploaded to Eddios’s fan page on FinesTok.
It was a video titled ‘This is how we play around’.
“What’s this?”
Han SungJin, a long-time fan of Eddios, clicked the video that had no views yet.
But then…
“What in the world!”
What did he come across?
It was a video about many singers, including Eddios, playing around in a space that looked like a practice room.
Jung MinAh danced, while the other members of World Entertainment played instruments and sang along with the song.
But…
“This is playing around? Not a concert?”
They said they were playing around, but the video was a slap to the face of many live concerts.
Han SungJin was deeply immersed in the video and spent 3 whole hours watching it over and over.
“Aaah, my goddesses. You never disappoint me at all!”
Leaving an article about it on the Eddios fan cafe, he kept exclaiming out loud.
