Become A Music Monster Overnight! [EN]: Chapter 130

Music Monster Overnight! Episode 121

That meant that, unlike before, the vocal teacher’s help would be limited.

Beyond know-how, experience, or advice, Jamie had to complete her vocals on her own.

“Yeah, that’s usually how it goes.”

I murmured, a smile spreading across my face without me even realizing it, and started watching the 10th video again.

It was clear that the videos uploaded recently, starting with the 10th, were different from before.

It was like a character in a game who had been leveling up at a monstrous rate with all sorts of events and experience boosts had reached a plateau.

But what was clear was that she was definitely still growing up to the 11th video.

“Actually, this is a normal pace.”

That was the growth rate of a talent who was considered a prodigy. From the perspective of ordinary people, she was still showing insane growth.

There was a reason why they called this kid a monster.

“Anyway… this kid’s mentality is better than I thought?”

What I was paying attention to as much as her growth was her mentality.

Why wouldn’t I?

Even in games, you get a lot of stress when you enter this stagnation period, but if you’re in such a stagnation period in reality, the stress is beyond words.

She didn’t show any signs of wavering, even though she was facing such a significant setback.

Did I misjudge? But after watching the 11th video, I was sure.

“She’s purely enjoying the music.”

She had thrown the worries about her sudden stagnation behind her and was just enjoying making music.

To be like that in this situation, you had to have confidence in yourself, and she seemed to be catching on to that instinctively.

Of course, to do this, you had to have a good mentality, as I said before.

“Thanks to this, inspiration is pouring out.”

The stimulating inspiration was more intense than usual, so I had no choice but to put aside my long-awaited rest and go to the studio.

I called her two days later.

“Ugh~ I’m so tired.”

Already 34 years old.

Even though I manage my body quite thoroughly, I can’t fool my age. My body is feeling it after only staying up for a few nights.

Even that was after getting some sleep. If I had come to the company right after finishing the work in a hurry, I might have fainted halfway.

“As expected, after getting some sleep, I can see some disappointing parts.”

The number of songs I worked on for two days was 11.

I was surprised that I had managed to work this much in a daze.

If someone in this industry heard that, they wouldn’t believe it. I had completed enough songs to release an album in just two days.

And that wasn’t just sketching out the basics, but arranging them to capture the image of her that I had in mind.

Even a talented composer would take more than two days to finish this much arrangement, even if it went well.

Of course, that’s only if they were working on one song.

It was impossible for me to finish 11 songs to this level of quality in just two days.

This was possible because the drug that drove her to her death in my memory had imprinted such intense emotions that the word “terrible” was not enough.

As a result, even the most insignificant inspiration was maximized.

Anyway, after finishing such a tremendous work that surprised even myself, I was just aware of the disappointing parts that stood out here and there, but I didn’t try to fix them.

“There’s no need to do the work twice.”

I’m going to develop her while producing these songs.

It’s really absurd to develop someone who has already found the foundation of their music and is in a slump.

But ironically, it was too easy for me.

Because I saw her final form through inspiration.

“The guy in my memory saw Jamie in a state of euphoria from the drug.”

The guy in my memory, who had exchanged the pleasure of drugs for his life, had a truly ecstatic experience.

Because instead of her stage, which was thought to be just an imitation of Karen Carpenter on TV, he saw a stage where her talent had fully blossomed.

Of course, the image of Jamie in her completed form that I saw was only a very brief moment.

Anyway, I’ve seen the answer key now.

It wasn’t impossible for me to guide her anyway, so training her and pulling her up was as easy as pie.

As I was having such random thoughts, I came back to reality at the sound of Jamie’s arrival.

“Ah, hello, CEO.”

“Ahem…”

And when I saw Jamie, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, I couldn’t help but clear my throat.

Jamie, with her wet hair as if she had just washed it, was so alluring.

Alluring, that is, so beautiful or attractive that you can’t come to your senses, and Jamie was like that.

‘There’s a reason why I gave her an S for looks. She’s really something in person…’

Even if it’s the same S-rank, it was definitely different from Baby Fox’s Kim Ah-young.

If Kim Ah-young was the ultimate in innocence, Jamie had a sensual side.

It stimulates the primitive senses, and it was like this even without any exposure. It wasn’t a vulgar form of stimulation.

It was a sensuality that felt pure, and it was clear that even women, as well as men, would have their identities shaken if they encountered that charm.

‘This… is a little dangerous.’

It was really dangerous.

That’s because I know that Jamie with this kind of sensuality likes me.

‘Should I call a manager right now?’

As I was thinking that, Jamie looked at me with her unique innocent eyes and asked.

“Um, CEO?”

I realized that I had been having random thoughts for a long time from her embarrassed appearance, and I hurriedly spoke.

“Ah! Sorry. Sit here. Do you want some coffee?”

“Yes? Yes.”

“Okay.”

I tried to say okay as calmly as possible, but what okay? It’s dangerous. It’s really dangerous!

Unlike the guy in my memory, I’m still a bachelor, and she was so stimulating to me that it was really dangerous.

Thinking that it might be hard to handle, I made an excuse to order coffee and called any of the managers to the CEO’s office.

“I’m here! CEO!”

After a while, the manager who came into the slightly awkward CEO’s office was one of the team leaders belonging to the Black Tiger exclusive room who wanted to be called by the pseudonym Semi.

‘Why Semi of all people!’

Semi, who was so quick-witted that she was sly, had many aspects that I was reluctant to deal with.

She enjoyed making lewd jokes with an interior-like appearance that didn’t seem like it at all, and she was also extremely extroverted. Above all, Semi, who was so playful that she tried to play pranks whenever she had the chance, had made even the uncles give up.

As expected of a quick-witted girl, Semi instantly read the slightly strange atmosphere in the room, and her lips, which were holding her coffee straw, trembled.

Then, she came over and handed coffee to me and Jamie, making a fuss.

“Oh my~ I don’t think this is a place for me to be! Have a good time, CEO. Fighting!”

“You little rascal! It’s not like that. Shut up and sit over there.”

“Oh my! A tough look! It’s been a while!”

Even though I got angry, she liked it even more, and I felt like I was going to fall backward. But thinking that I would be finished if I was pushed back like this, I struggled to hold on to my collapsing heart and hurriedly continued to speak to Jamie, whose face was even redder than before.

“So, the reason I called you is not because of anything else, but because I think you’re ready to prepare for your debut.”

“Yes?!”

“Huh??”

Jamie, who was greatly surprised that she didn’t know that was the purpose, and Semi’s exclamation of embarrassment echoed in succession.

Seeing them like that, I felt a sense of relief for no reason and finished preparing to play the songs I had made.

“This is the song you’re going to sing. The lyrics aren’t completely finalized yet, so keep that in mind when you listen.”

I started playing the songs that I had roughly guided for her education.

-!!!-

Fortunately, the reaction came from the first song.

Semi’s lips trembled in a different sense than before, and Jamie’s ears were also flushed in a different way.

‘Well, Jamie doesn’t need to say anything. Semi is crazy, but she’s definitely different when she’s working.’

In fact, Semi was too good to be a manager.

That’s because she was the valedictorian of the USC Thornton School of Music.

The USC Thornton School of Music is one of the most well-known music schools in the United States and boasts a high-quality curriculum. For this reason, it was the place that those who wanted to study music abroad wanted to go the most, but the problem was that admission was really difficult.

To have been admitted as the valedictorian meant that she was a tremendous genius.

She majored in music business, but when I saw it, her forte was composing.

In particular, she seemed to have a talent for film music, and she actually asked me for feedback early on, watching my reactions.

Then, before long, those feedback requests stopped.

I was secretly interested in the field of orchestra and others, so I was disappointed and asked her why she didn’t bring them anymore, and she suddenly got angry.

“No! After making me feel such a ruthless wall! Are you kidding me now?”

“???”

I was so dumbfounded at the time that I just let it go, but when I think about it, I think it was from then on.

That’s when she started acting as crazy as she was about her work.

‘Am I not getting enough sleep? I’m having a lot of unnecessary thoughts.’

I forcibly suppressed the yawn that was coming out and said to them, who were already facing the last song.

“The last song is the title song. I named it ‘a lost girl’, but you can change it if you don’t like it. The genre is adult contemporary.”

Adult contemporary.

This genre, which may be unfamiliar, was surprisingly familiar to Koreans.

Easy listening, literally a genre based on a song format that is comfortable to listen to, and in Korea, it mainly referred to adult contemporary ballads.

Choi Baek-ho, who sang the famous ‘About Romance’, and Noh Sa-yeon, who sang ‘Meeting’, can be seen as representative singers of adult contemporary.

There is no other reason for pushing this genre, which may be a bit classical and old-fashioned, as the genre of the title song.

That’s because Karen Carpenter’s music was like that.

That also agreed with the fact that it was the genre that suited Jamie, who felt like a reincarnation of her, the most.

-Da da da dan. Da da dan. Da dan!-

-Boom! Doo doo doo boom!-

Around the time when the calm piano sound reminiscent of a quiet evening was combined with the calm drum sound, the voice I guided began to flow out.

“I’m lost, where should I go?”

-!!!-

At that moment, Jamie and Semi’s faces changed again.

The fact that they were surprised seemed to be the same as before, but the form was different from before.

If they had been surprised with a red complexion up to their ears until just now, they had now changed to a pale form as if by a lie.

The appearance of biting their lips was also lessened, and in Jamie’s case, there was an alluring side, so I had to quickly turn my gaze away.

‘Haa~ As expected, it’s because I’m in a daze, so it’s a bit lacking.’

The blurry image, which was less than half of the inspiration I had in mind, was not very pleasing, but that was not important.

What was important was whether Jamie recognized that image.
