Godsent Top Star [EN]: Chapter 348

348. The Name of Magic (1)

October 14, 2022

The children were excellent listeners.

-The children might be a little distracted. But please don’t stop the song and continue singing.

The staff had given Yeon-woo such a warning in advance.

However, contrary to those concerns, the children were all looking at Yeon-woo with attentive eyes.

“Even if we brought the most popular toys these days, the reaction wouldn’t be this enthusiastic…”

One of the doctors watching the scene muttered jokingly.

But even that muttering soon faded away.

The more the song continued, the more everyone in the hall couldn’t help but be captivated by the music presented by Yeon-woo.

‘It feels like there’s a breeze blowing, even though we’re inside.’

‘Suddenly, it smells like flowers?’

‘It feels like the surroundings have changed…’

The more the clear and beautiful voice recited the lyrics,

The more people closed their eyes and indulged in the sensations evoked by the music.

Even though there was no reason for the wind to blow, the wind was felt.

Even though the center was full of the smell of disinfectant, a fragrant scent tickled the nose.

The sterile [aseptic] center felt as if it had completely transformed into another place.

‘I got angry at my mom yesterday. I shouldn’t have done that. It wasn’t even that important of an issue…’

‘Should I contact her today? I miss her after a long time…’

‘Come to think of it, my favorite book. Where did I put it?’

It was completely different from listening to the song through speakers.

At best, it was just the difference between a recorded sound source and a live performance.

However, the immersion and emotion that the listeners experienced were absolutely not the same.

The deeply appealing voice made them forget their thoughts, made their worries disappear, and blew away their concerns.

The angry heart softened, and the unnecessarily busy mind calmed down.

‘Was taking a breather this important?’

Some would think that way.

It was just one song.

However, the impact of that song was by no means small.

No.

Rather, it was so great that people didn’t even realize when the song ended.

“Wow. Everyone’s quiet. Our song wasn’t so terrible that you can’t react, was it?”

“I don’t think so. If you’re still immersed in the afterglow, it might be good to leave it for a little longer. How about it, Trevi? How about singing it again?”

The VJs [Video Journalists] in charge of filming also grasped the situation a beat late.

It wasn’t just them.

The staff in charge of the accompaniment and MR [Music Recorded/Master Recording] almost lost their minds and missed the timing.

If there was one good thing, it was that they didn’t burst into tears shamelessly like when they first heard the song, or something?

It was tears that burst out in conjunction with Trevi’s situation, but.

“Tissues, did you bring them?”

The staff member in charge of overseeing this situation quietly called someone else to bring the tissues.

They had listened to the live performance a few times, so the frequency of losing their minds or shedding tears had decreased a little, but.

“If we broadcast this, I don’t think anyone will believe it.”

“Wouldn’t they think we bribed the hospital with money?”

“Even I, who work as a staff member, can’t believe it, so what about other people?”

The thrill that was felt every time they listened to the song was still unavoidable.

Moreover, the more they listened to the song,

It felt like something was slowly changing.

It was definitely not in a bad way.

It was like they were gradually becoming more positive and hopeful people?

“Hello. How have you been?”

The second live performance began.

The camera captured all the reactions of the people without missing a single one.

A slight change occurred when the second live performance began.

“Sometimes we forget. It can happen. We’ve grown this much before we knew it.”

When Yeon-woo and Trevi sang,

“Grown this much.”

Small, youthful voices began to follow.

“But think again.”

“Think again.”

“Sky, wind, clouds. Warm air.”

At first, cautiously.

However, when neither Yeon-woo nor Trevi stopped them and rather made eye contact and smiled, the small voices gradually grew louder.

“I’ll stroll through dreams with you.”

“Stroll with you.”

“Like we used to hold hands and walk together.”

The clear and refreshing voices mixed with the small, chattering youthful voices.

It was an unplanned chorus, but the atmosphere became even better.

The people who were immersed in afterglow and thoughts began to capture the lovely 모습 [moseup – appearance/figure] in their eyes one by one.

“I miss you.”

“Even if I have to walk through dreams.”

“I want to reach you again.”

Smiles spread across the faces of the staff, including the VJs holding the cameras.

The hospital staff were no different.

“We should request an encore this time. Oh my gosh. I feel like I’m receiving a gift bigger than any other gift.”

Trevi’s eyes had already turned red.

It seemed that the fact that the children voluntarily memorized the lyrics and sang along made him overwhelmed.

“Then shall we sing again?”

“Shall we? This time, shall we sing together from the beginning?”

“Yes!”

The children chattered.

‘Maybe this kind of scene is what I wanted to see.’

Suddenly, Yeon-woo thought so.

‘It’s quite a unique feeling to directly confirm the fact that you can have such a positive impact on someone.’

What should I say?

Should I say it’s a very encouraging feeling?

It’s like someone is patting him on the shoulder and saying this.

-You’re doing well. Your efforts have never been in vain.

And this time, he decided to exert all his abilities even more 확실하게 [hwaksilhage – certainly/definitely].

“Hello, how have you been?”

Once again, the song began.

The beautiful chorus once again filled the center.

I don’t know how many encore performances they did.

After more than five times, the hospital staff, who had barely regained their senses, began to stop the children one by one.

In fact, Yeon-woo and Trevi could sing for the children any number of times.

‘Just like acting, music doesn’t end just because I create it alone.’

Yeon-woo thought that music is 완성되는 [wanseongdoeneun – completed] only when there are people who listen to it.

Furthermore, the children even enjoy the music themselves.

That was, in a word, the best compliment.

‘It’s fun.’

The people enjoy and 함께 즐긴다 [hamkke jeulginda – enjoy together] the song he made in front of him.

It was a different feeling from dramas or movies.

You can go to the movie theater where the movie is playing and see the audience’s reaction, but.

‘Real-time is so fun.’

You can see people enjoying his music right in front of you like this.

I didn’t expect it, but this was a big difference.

However, I have no intention of quitting acting and switching to music.

Isn’t it obvious?

‘Can’t I do both? There’s no need to choose just one, right?’

Acting has its own 재미 [jaemi – fun/interest], and music has its own 보람 [boram – worth/reward].

No one is threatening me, so there is no reason to sacrifice or give up one.

What’s important now is one thing.

“With you~.”

“I’ll stroll through dreams~.”

That is to enjoy this happiness with the children who sincerely enjoy his song.

“Kids. I heard your friends have prepared a lot. What should we do? If we keep singing, it will be time to say goodbye.”

The doctor, who had been with the children for a long time, skillfully soothed the children.

“Yeon-woo, are you leaving?”

“Can’t you not go?”

“No. I’m not going. Right, teacher?”

Yeon-woo smiled and answered the children’s words.

“But it’s a shame that I can’t show you what I wanted to show you?”

I don’t have a talent for handling children.

But what are his strengths?

‘I’ve never heard that I’m slow to learn…’

Yeon-woo listened carefully to the doctor’s coaxing.

And with a slight application, he spoke to the children with a feeling of regret.

I want to show you this.

I can’t help it.

If you guys like something else better.

When he told them with this feeling, the children’s reactions changed.

“What are you going to show us?”

“Are you going to show us something like Dream Walker flying around in the sky?”

“Wow!”

Yeon-woo smiled as he watched the children’s purity.

[Wow. Look at him. He’s already captivated the children. If you say that, they can’t help but be curious. Kang Yeon-woo, you sly guy.]

The child spirit, who was lazily hanging on Trevi’s shoulder, said a word.

Who cares?

Isn’t it enough if the children accept it well?

“Thanks to Yeon-woo, our staff are relieved.”

Trevi, who was next to him, smiled, as if he had grasped the situation.

The scene of everyone singing together with the children was beautiful and touching enough, but.

The staff’s situation, who had to mix a spoonful of commerce into this emotion, was a little different.

‘Well… Even considering that, they all have expressions that they enjoyed it enough…’

Some even had regretful faces.

The only people who maintained their reason here were the medical staff.

[As expected, they are 멋진 [meotjin – cool/wonderful] people at the forefront of science…]

So said the dead ghost who was at the pinnacle of non-science.

They seemed to want to perfectly 진행한다 [jinhaenghanda – proceed/conduct] Yeon-woo and Trevi’s first official concert held here, and even voluntarily helped the staff.

Later, the child spirit told him what he had overheard,

-Thanks to the two of you, we are enjoying peace after so long. We are so grateful for your thoughtfulness in holding your first performance here, and we must make sure it ends successfully.

“What are you going to show us?”

“Are you going to sing another song?”

The excited children asked, chattering.

“Of course, I’ll take requests for other songs too. But before that, I’ll show you something more fun.”

Yeon-woo smiled as he looked at the children’s sparkling eyes.

“I’m going to show you magic.”

[Strictly speaking, that’s not magic. Um. Not magic either… Yeah. Scam would be good!]

“Why do you always have to say something like that…”

Before coming to LA.

Yeon-woo, Trevi, and the staff had discussed the cue sheet for the performance.

If it was a concert held by renting a venue, there wouldn’t be much to think about.

Sing a song, have a talk during the break, sing a song again…….
