Godsent Top Star [EN]: Chapter 387

387. A Gentleman’s Revenge (1)

November 22, 2022

Black’s main OST [Original Sound Track], ‘Blaker than Black,’ also known as BB, gained immense popularity as Natural Born Black broke box office records.

“It perfectly encapsulates the Black series finale.”

“If you don’t hear this in the intro, you haven’t truly watched the movie.”

These reactions were common, and even some unique responses contributed to its popularity.

“Strangely, after watching the movie, I feel like I can do anything.”

“Listening to BB makes me feel like I can effortlessly complete that 25-page report due tomorrow!”

“Hey, boss. How long do we have to keep doing this dirty work? Listening to this song makes it all seem so meaningless. How about we just confess and start a new life?”

For some reason, the OST had unexpected effects.

Many people had already experienced significant effects from the mysterious song ‘Dream Walker.’

Naturally, a song with such a peculiar vibe like ‘Dream Walker’ quickly spread through word of mouth.

Thanks to this,

[Rookie Musician Grassroot Lands at Number 2 on the Billboard Charts!]

Yeon-woo witnessed his songs occupying both the number 1 and number 2 spots on the Billboard charts.

The artist names were different, but that was intentional.

[Kang Yeon-woo, that scary kid… Did he know this would happen? Right? He even separated the names to deliver an even bigger blow…]

Well, it started as a way to ignore pointless nonsense like, ‘How dare an Asian threaten North America’s pride!’

‘Anyway, it’s going smoothly. At this rate, I can definitely clear the surprise mission.’

He didn’t expect the reaction to be this good.

Thanks to this, he was invited to the Grammys to receive an award, which solidified his plans even further.

Finally, all the prepared performances were over.

He perfectly finished ‘Dream Walker,’ the Black OST, and Trevi’s songs.

But something was strange.

‘Why isn’t there any reaction?’

The applause that usually poured out after each performance was absent.

Looking to the side, Trevi also looked puzzled.

But soon,

Clap…

Clap clap… Clap!

Scattered applause began to erupt, soon turning into cheers.

Many people even stood up and gave a standing ovation.

Clap clap clap!

The thunderous applause alone vibrated throughout the venue.

Eventually, the host had to come out to calm everyone down to proceed with the next segment.

“Oh my, goodness. Okay, everyone. While their performance was fantastic, please calm down. Oh, don’t tell me you’re asking for an encore here!”

The host, known for his witty remarks on a popular program, made a joke, and laughter finally erupted.

At the same time, the applause that seemed like it would last forever gradually subsided.

Numerous artists perform at the Grammy Awards.

There are very special and diverse performances that are not shown anywhere else.

But Yeon-woo and Trevi’s performance was by far the most outstanding.

Many people were still caught up in the afterglow, but the awards ceremony continued.

“This award category is Best Comedy…!”

“Thank you. Thank you so much. I give this honor to God…”

“This award category is Best Country Album. The award goes to…”

Various awards were announced, and nominees were called.

The recipients of the glorious awards gave emotional speeches.

As the awards ceremony continued, the atmosphere inside the venue became increasingly heated.

That was because,

“Whew… I’m nervous.”

“Why are you nervous, Gabriel?”

“Because there are only a few categories left! It’s weird that you’re not nervous, Yeon-woo?!”

Only a few categories remained to be awarded.

Of course, this included the four General Field awards, the most famous categories at the Grammys.

“Aren’t you nervous at all?!”

“Yeah, well… I was a bit nervous at first, but I’m fine after receiving a few awards.”

Yeon-woo had already received several awards in the Genre Field nominated categories.

“Right… you were that kind of person.”

“Why? It’s good to be calm.”

“Trevi, why are you like that too? By the way, when are they announcing those amazing awards? Do they do it all at the end?”

“They usually do it towards the end…”

“Whew. Someone has to win an award. There’s no one to receive it but Yeon-woo.”

Gabriel said, shaking his legs.

He looked like a textbook case of anxiety.

“If you don’t win, Yeon-woo, I’m going to set the Grammys on fire. There’s no one else to receive it but you. If you don’t win, it’s racism, racism. All those racists should go to hell.”

“…”

What is this endless faith?

Is it the effect of Gardening’s blind faith [Gardening refers to Yeon-woo’s fan base]?

No, more than that.

His character seems to have changed a bit; is that okay?

In the meantime,

The first announcement of the highly anticipated General Field was finally on the giant screen.

The first award to be announced was Song of the Year.

“I’m very excited to see who will win the Song of the Year award. There have been so many great songs this year.”

The celebrity presenter said.

Who was it again? Gabriel explained it, but I don’t remember.

“These great songs we listen to would not have been born without the songwriters. I am honored to present this award to such great people.”

The list of nominated candidates appeared on the screen.

Even at a glance, there were many impressive names.

“The winner of this year’s award is…!

The tense voice echoed throughout the venue.

“Dream Walker! Congratulations!”

“Thankfully, I don’t have to set anything on fire.”

After receiving the award and finishing his speech, he returned to his seat.

Gabriel was the first to greet them.

He looked at Yeon-woo with a strange expression and asked.

“Yeon-woo, are you even human? You were calm during the Genre Field, but now you’re smiling? Did you like the major awards better?”

“There’s that too, but…”

Yeon-woo shrugged.

“There’s something more exciting left.”

“You mean winning another award?”

“Yeah, something like that.”

Gabriel was probably talking about the remaining three major General Field awards.

‘Awards are just a bonus anyway.’

Being recognized isn’t bad.

But awards are ultimately just secondary.

In fact, Yeon-woo knew better than anyone that ‘Dream Walker’ was loved by people around the world, even without the awards.

The influx of lifespans proves that fact, even without the Grammys.

‘Was it the next turn?’

Yeon-woo thought, watching the artists showcasing their singing skills on the glamorous stage.

The time he had been waiting for was finally approaching.

The next segment was announced.

“The next category to be presented is Best Song for Visual Media.”

The screen showed seats related to the category.

A reporter approached the leads of several prominent movies, starting with Black, and attempted to interview them.

“Oh my goodness. Raymond. I never thought I would see you at the Grammys! How do you feel sitting here today?”

The flamboyant reporter approached and asked playfully.

The reaction was intense when Another Class’s handsome face was caught on camera.

“I am honored to be here, even for a moment. I dedicate all the glory to Grassroot, who created the wonderful OST.”

“There’s a rumor that Raymond cast Grassroot. Is that true?”

“Haha. Casting? I begged him. I begged him to create music that would fit this movie. It was really hard to get him.”

“Could Grassroot be here today? Many people have been looking for him, but he hasn’t shown his face in any interviews or talk shows, so many people are curious about him!”

“Well, he’s a busy friend. Haha.”

“As you know, the Grammy award categories are random. With the selection of the Best Song for Visual Media, many people were hoping to see him in person. Could he be here?”

“Well, maybe he is, maybe he isn’t?”

“Did Raymond make it himself?”

“Haha. That’s a very interesting twist? Unfortunately, it’s not me, but I can definitely say it’s someone who will surprise you.”

It was a double meaning that could be taken in different ways.

Whether it was someone who created surprising results.

Or someone hiding a surprising identity.

There was no way to know.

However, when the award results were announced soon after.

People finally realized what Raymond meant.

“The winner of this year’s Best Song for Visual Media is…!

“Natural Born Black’s ‘Blaker than Black’!”

The spotlight shone on the Black team.

Everyone expected Jonas or Raymond to stand up to accept the award.

However.

“…What?”

“Wait a minute. Isn’t that the singer who sang ‘Dream Walker’?”

“What’s going on? Why is he…?”

Even the camera couldn’t figure out what was going on and was flustered.

This was a potentially disastrous broadcasting accident.

Because someone unexpected stood up and attracted attention at the timing when the winner should have been coming out.

Even if you wanted to go to the bathroom, you had to sit quietly and be aware of the situation.

“Um, I’m sorry, but this isn’t the time to stand up.”

People nearby who liked Yeon-woo hurriedly stopped him.

Anyone with a sense of awareness would have realized something was wrong and awkwardly sat down by now.

But Yeon-woo didn’t.

Rather,

“Thank you for calling me from there, although I had no choice. Thank you for your words.”

With a very polite answer, the expressions of the people who looked at where Yeon-woo was pointing became blank.

The place he was pointing to was none other than the stage where the winner was being called.

[His Identity That No One Knew. We Delve Into His Shocking Identity!]

“Wow. It’s all about you.”

Gabriel said with a proud tone.

“I mean, how would they know you’re Grassroot? I would have fainted there too. Ah, but it’s a shame. They should have covered other things too. You won a whopping 8 awards! Why aren’t they talking about that?”

That was only natural.

The most talked-about topic at this year’s Grammy Awards was none other than the rumor that Yeon-woo and the rising rookie composer Grassroot were the same person.
