Godsent Top Star [EN]: Chapter 342

342. Dream Walker (1)

October 8, 2022

The intro began calmly.

Following the softly flowing melody, Trevi hummed quietly.

The lyrical melody was slightly different from Trevi’s existing music, but it was by no means bad.

With his eyes closed, Trevi’s face was very peaceful.

It was a warm and comfortable face that made even the viewer feel completely immersed in peace.

-Hello. How have you been? Long time no see.

Trevi’s low voice whispered softly, as if whispering to someone.

Closing his eyes and reciting the lyrics, Trevi seemed to be talking to someone rather than singing.

-Do you remember? The time when we walked this road together.

-You ran, and I chased after you. We were so close together, inseparable.

The lyrics continued in a calm tone.

-I miss you. I want to see you. I want to reach you again, even if I have to walk through dreams.

All electronic sounds like EDM [Electronic Dance Music] were excluded.

The song was filled with a calm and soft bass and guitar melody.

Thump, thump, thump.

The beat, following slowly at a pace that was neither too slow nor too fast, created deep waves.

-Sometimes.

A neat, beautiful voice chimed in on the flow that progressed smoothly with rhythm.

-I forget. It can happen. We’ve grown so much.

-But think again.

-The sky, the wind, the clouds, the warm air.

-And things like the sound of you calling me.

-If you look back sometimes, it’s still there.

If Trevi’s low voice was similar to the beating of a heart.

The clear, beautiful voice that followed had tremendous appeal.

You find yourself listening and naturally closing your eyes.

Just listening to the song made you feel like you were wrapped in warm air, standing under a high sky, feeling the gentle breeze.

-I miss you. I want to see you. I want to reach you again, even if I have to walk through dreams.

-I want to reach you again, crossing countless nights.

-Even if I have to walk through dreams.

The two voices intertwined like a sweet serenade.

The low voice captivates the heart, and the calm, clear, beautiful voice electrifies the whole body.

-I’ll stroll through the dream with you.

-Just like we used to hold hands and walk together.

-Reading a book with a warm cup of tea, holding hands in the cold wind.

The appealing high notes leading to the climax faded away, leaving a lingering feeling.

Following that, the low voice softly recited the chorus again, as if caressing it.

-I’m still there.

-Waiting for you.

-I’m still waiting in that place where I used to walk with you.

A calm and soft flow, but never slow or boring.

The intense vocals and solid timbre heightened the excitement of the early stages, which had started quietly and peacefully.

-I miss you. I want to see you. I want to reach you again, even if I have to walk through dreams.

The song repeated the initial humming, ending with Yeonwoo’s last verse.

-♪♬♩

However, unlike the beginning, Yeonwoo’s clear and refreshing tone replaced Trevi’s.

Finally, when the last humming ended.

People began to wake up one by one, as if they had been strolling through a dream.

*

‘Dream Walker,’ which immediately topped the charts on each streaming site.

This music, meaning ‘a person walking in a dream,’ turned numerous online communities upside down almost as soon as it was released.

Perhaps that’s why.

“500,000 people for the live [live stream]? Is that a possible number?”

Even while preparing for the live, the rate at which people were gathering was enormous.

“At this rate, won’t we really hit 1 million?”

“1 million for a live is really… wow…”

The reaction was more intense than expected.

Let’s say that people who weren’t Trevi’s fans or Yeonwoo’s fans were drawn in by the aftermath of the 25-second video.

Even so, this number was enough to make Trevi’s staff, who had experienced all sorts of situations, feel overwhelmed.

Everyone was half joyful and half bewildered by this incredible result, and they finished preparing for the live with even more tension.

“Is this a good thing?”

Only one person blinked in this situation.

[Oh, why even ask! Of course, it’s a good thing! 1 million is like a concert level! No, it’s even better than a concert. Concerts have location restrictions. When you think about it, online is good for this? The internet is the best!]

The child spirit, who was addicted to the internet despite being a ghost, said.

“Of course, it’s a good thing. The 25-second video issue seems to have properly stirred up attention.”

The publicist calmly watched the situation and replied.

“You can’t get this kind of reaction just by stirring up attention. If it was really just about attention, there would probably be a lot of ridicule on the internet rather than streaming.”

Trevi continued.

“The song was good. People who gathered because of the issue listened to the song and thought it was good. That’s why they came to our live with anticipation, wondering how we made such a song. If a song is too good, people naturally feel favorable towards the person who sang it.”

The proof was the enormous number of people waiting for the live stream right now.

Yeonwoo quietly watched the number of people waiting for the live stream increase in real time.

As the numbers increased, the scheduled time gradually approached quickly.

“Is Cheese ready?”

Myaaang~!

“Okay. Then let’s check the cue sheet one last time and get ready.”

Soon.

The red light came on in the camera in front of him.

Countless gazes poured towards Yeonwoo.

“Welcome.”

It was the beginning of the live.

*

“Wow. Where did Trevi get that person from?”

“I know, right? Even I, as a staff member, am nervous, but that person doesn’t seem nervous at all.”

Whisper, whisper.

The live stream started with a huge number of people.

The live stream, which started hot from the beginning, flowed very smoothly without any hiccups.

Rather, the staff watching were nervous and their hearts were pounding like crazy.

The two people sitting in front of the camera had very calm expressions.

It was like familiar people facing each other and chatting.

“That’s why Trevi is so desperate for that person, right?”

“This song was practically all made by that person.”

“That was a really unbelievable story. I thought Trevi was joking at first.”

It was less than when Bill, who met for the management contract, acted like he was going to faint when he found out the truth.

The staff were really shocked when they first found out.

‘The style is a bit different from before… but it’s still Trevi.’

Even after a few years of hiatus, he is still a world-wide star.

The music released after breaking the long hiatus was so chillingly good that the word ‘still’ came out.

But it turned out that the chillingly good song was not Trevi’s.

“The shock at that time was really…”

Shaking their heads.

The staff turned to Yeonwoo, who was making a soft expression.

Really, he was an amazing person the more they looked at him.

They felt like they knew why Trevi was so desperate.

They too had fallen into Yeonwoo’s charm and came to understand Trevi’s feelings.

“You say it’s like a love song? There are a lot of stories that it’s a love song. Oh. The most common feeling is that it reminds me of my first love. I hope there isn’t anyone else next to you. It doesn’t matter if the person next to you is your first love.”

Countless people threw various questions at the two.

Yeonwoo and Trevi received and answered a few of the questions that the staff picked out from the real-time questions.

The live was not just for Q&A, so the two also talked about stories that stood out in the chat room.

“Ah, you said it wasn’t answered? Hmm. Well. I think it would be good to hear from Yeonwoo, who composed and wrote the lyrics for this song. What do you think, Yeonwoo? Do you agree that it’s a love song?”

Trevi, who was holding a cue sheet with a short list of expected questions, playfully held it out like a microphone in front of Yeonwoo.

“Well.”

Yeonwoo shrugged.

“Wouldn’t that depend on what the listeners think?”

“Ah. That was too textbook of an answer. Don’t you think so, everyone?”

Following Trevi’s lead, the chat room was filled with stories that it was.

I felt it when I filmed UTT [Unknown Talented Trainees] and the program.

‘This person, unexpectedly, seems to be good at MCing [Master of Ceremonies, hosting]?’

The progress is smooth and the method of inducing response is unique.

Anyway, Yeonwoo smiled and began to tell the story that he had prepared in advance.

“Hmm… then shall I tell you a little bit? In fact, I really think that the theme can be love, memories, or whatever, depending on how you listen to it. Yes, yes. You don’t want this kind of answer, right?”

While Yeonwoo was looking at Trevi and admiring his new talent.

“Oh. No matter how I think about it, I don’t know how he can be so calm.”

“Calm is everything. That’s just him pushing and pulling the subscribers. Very skillfully.”

The staff couldn’t help but admire Yeonwoo’s skillful push and pull.

Is that what they call taming?

A kind of talk show-style live consisting of only Yeonwoo and Trevi can be boring.

Especially since the expectations of people who listened to the song and came to the live with uncontrollable excitement must be incredibly high.

“Look at the number of people not leaving.”

“That person is really born with it. Born with it…”

That also meant that Yeonwoo and Trevi were holding on tight to the attention and favor of those many people.

In particular, the extraordinary pranks and cute appearance of the cat Cheese in the middle were enough to hold on tight without any room for tension to slacken.

How could there be people who came to see the cat in higher definition?

Currently, the child spirit was conducting a separate Instagram live, and it seemed that all those people were flocking to YouTube.

“Still, I don’t think the composer has the right to infringe on the listener’s interpretation. But since you don’t want this kind of answer, I’ll tell you how I came to make this song first. I think that will be the answer instead.”

In the chat room, people were already wondering what kind of behind-the-scenes story it was, and they were full of people who had caught the rice cake [promise of future content or reveal] thrown by Yeonwoo.

[That’s a big catch. No matter what, Yeonwoo, you are really born with it.]

Gurgle, gurgle.

The cat, who even wore a separate microphone, gurgled and said.

Yeonwoo stroked the back of Dongja Ryung’s [child spirit’s] neck with his fingers and nonchalantly began to tell the story.

“The interpretation that it is a song between lovers is not entirely wrong… but in fact, this song was made after seeing Trevi.”

The answer was heard from somewhere other than the subscribers.

“Yes? What did you say?”

It was Trevi who was startled while making a huge mistake right next to him.
