==============
"He said it's his own song!"
"Ah, it's a nursery rhyme!"
From the front came a conversation between two girls, Taeyeon bit her lower lip tightly and stared at them fiercely. The two of course didn't notice the anger being emitted from behind by a small figure, and continued to giggle:
"What are you doing with your phone?"
"Take a photo, it's an original song, of course we have to keep it as a souvenir."
"You're so bad..."
They were so carefree and playful, but what annoyed Taeyeon more was the silent ridicule from others. However, she couldn't do anything, and could only worryingly watch the figure on stage who had brought her much warmth and pampering. He was quickly writing down the score, adjusting the electronic piano, busy and quiet, ignoring the commotion below.
"Not long after, he lightly tapped the microphone, 'Hmm, sound check, sounds pretty good... Bao'er-senpai, are you ready?'"
She stared blankly at the score in her hand for a moment before reacting, then looked at An Junhe with a complex expression and nodded: "I'm ready."
"OK, let's get started." Regardless of the malicious gazes cast from below, his voice remained calm and composed, his smile under the lights clean and bright, without being disturbed in the slightest. "Song name, 1 minute 1 second!"
Then, a soft piano sound arose, which was the tone of the piano, but also with some electronic sounds. The melody was gentle and the notes jumped out between his agile fingers.
It was just a prelude, and the low hum below suddenly stopped. Then, the drumming and Baor's female vocals began.
……
I－`t－let－go
No matter where I look, it seems like I see you everywhere
……
His fingers danced on the keyboard, his rap flowed smoothly - My shattered heart
……
Can't hide for even 1 minute and 1 second, baby
Heart follows time to pause
I－`t－let－go
No matter where I go, I hear your voice
"My Shattered Heart"
Can't breathe for even 1 minute and 1 second, baby
Every single moment, every 1 minute and 1 second
……
The polyphony ended in a gentle yet shocking melody, the drumbeats fell heavily, as if striking directly at the soul. The stage suddenly fell silent, and the crowd below looked up in astonishment, feeling a bit bewildered, was that all? A few people reacted and wanted to shout, but before they could make a move, the elegant and peaceful piano sound played again, accompanied by Ahn Jun-hyuk's low and gentle rap.
……
That day you let reason conquer your heart
Fell asleep again with puffy eyes
I took off my overcoat while seething with anger.
Ordering takeout on the phone
The curtains were pulled down, and it was unknown how much time had passed.
wat‘－DVD‘s
Your breathing sound is leaning on my shoulder
My idea of not going out was right, wasn't it?
……
A faint melody, notes swirling in the midst of serenity within this spacious room. Almost at the moment when he rapped with his low, husky voice, the entire room seemed to fall silent like a piano. People who were originally prepared to laugh held their breath, their attention involuntarily drawn to the figure on stage who spoke and sang with ease. Some raised their phones, ready to record and "collect" it, but forgot which direction the lens was facing. Those snacking stopped chewing, their expressions disbelieving, while those chatting idly opened their mouths, staring blankly at the stage, speechless.
The melody continues, and the drumbeat starts again.
……
It's laughable that these memories still haunt me to this day
Suddenly remembered the joke you used to tell
Collapsed
A moment of nothingness
Today also made me toss and turn
Suddenly remembered the funny face you used to make
Broke
……
Behind him, Boer's line of sight was blocked by his back, and her eyes were a little dazed. Unlike the trainees below the stage, she had been in the industry for several years and had come into contact with many famous musicians. She could better appreciate the charm of this HIPHOP song, An Ning's lyrical style, and the poetic lyrics, which made people feel like they were painting a picture in their mind just by listening to it. It was like an old, yellowed, and dim memory, recalling past lovers who had parted ways, savoring the pain and anxiety of reluctance, and thus her heart was entangled and hard to untangle.
This is a song that can resonate in people's hearts, without straightforward love and death, only metaphorical and narrative sentences, seemingly obscure and chaotic, but extremely infectious.
The rap is gradually approaching its climax, and it's almost her turn. She took another look at the score, memorizing the melody and lyrics on it firmly, although a bit hastily, but her rich sight-reading experience allowed her to perform it smoothly without any flaws. A song like this can only be matched with a flawless performance.
In the crowd under the stage, Xiuying, Youli and Yuner stared foolishly at the figure on the stage, with an eerie silence around them. Previously, they were worried, after all, they had never heard him sing before, nor did they know what his composition and lyrics skills were like. Basically, no one around them looked optimistic, which made them anxious and afraid that he would really make a fool of himself. However, when they heard the song, all their worries disappeared. Although they were still young and couldn't fully understand the heartfelt lyrics, they could feel the sadness in the melody. This was just an impromptu accompaniment, if it were to be recorded in a studio with a full arrangement and added sound effects, who knows what the result would be?
They don't know!
Xiū Yīng quietly opened the DV she brought today on purpose, aiming the lens at the stage over there. Such a song should be known by more people...
……
Time flies by in the turbulent melody, the song is not long, after all, it's just a temporary creation. When the first verse of the main theme finishes playing, the sudden drop of the drumbeat, along with the still slightly trembling piano keys, gradually fades away into a sea of silence and stillness.
Behind the electronic piano, An Junhe slightly lowered his head, and the light made his hanging hair form a shadow that covered his cheek, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.
After a long time, he finally lifted his head, took off the microphone: "Hmm, no applause, haha... Let's leave the next song to the seniors of TVXQ!"
Until then, the people in the audience who were stunned and confused finally woke up. In the corner, Tai Yan, who was short and small, stood on tiptoes, her face flushed red, and suddenly applauded loudly. The thin applause broke the silence, and soon the people around her gradually followed suit. Before long, a wave of applause surged forth like a tidal wave.
"Whoosh!"
People clapped their hands with great force, the warm applause almost made the room start to shake. Several female trainees let out shrill screams and shouted slogans of "Encore!", slowly but surely everyone followed suit. Regardless of how they previously viewed the person named Ahn Jun-hee on stage, at this moment, the infected crowd just wanted him to continue singing such a song.
Looking at the enthusiastic scene below, it was like a concert with a fiery atmosphere. An Jun-he's eyes were calm and cold, without any excitement. He smiled and waited for their applause to weaken before saying: "One person one song, that's the rule of the activity. I'll temporarily guest as an MC, please welcome - TVXQ!"
After finishing speaking, he handed the microphone over to Kim Hee-chul and walked off the stage.
Those who originally showed him all kinds of ridicule and indifference immediately surrounded him, their expressions excited, like fans seeing an idol.
"Don't come down yet, sing another one!"
"Yeah, rap is awesome, come on with another one!"
"It's so flavorful and lyrical, why don't we sing it all the way through? It feels like it's not over yet!"
In the midst of crowded and chaotic shouting, An Junhe smiled and pushed away: "Really can't do it anymore, one person one song, one person one song... Please make way for me, I want to go find my friend, thank you, please make way..."
He squeezed to one side of the corner, and the crowd surrounding him also moved with him. At this time, the five members of Dongfang Shenqi who had already walked onto the stage looked at the fiery scene below that did not belong to them at all, feeling a bit awkward.
"Alas, we've become mere accompaniments...". Kim Jun-hoo gazed at the back of Ahn Joon-hee, who was surrounded by the crowd, with a complex expression. "With him pulling off such a move, whose performance can surpass his?"
Zheng Yunhao and others looked at each other silently for a moment, then sighed.
Next, as expected, just like Kim Jun-su said, although the party continued for a moment, until people couldn't persuade Ahn Jun-hee to sing another song and had to disperse with regret, everyone's heart was taken away by the previous song "1 Minute 1 Second". Even though TVXQ presented their debut single, the atmosphere below was not enthusiastic. Except for a few female trainees who were originally their fans shouting hoarsely, everyone else kept casting their eyes towards Ahn Jun-hee in the corner.
The party ended in a low-key atmosphere after just over an hour.
After the event, Ahn Jun-hee brushed off the trainees who kept approaching him to chat, introduce themselves or express their admiration, and quickly pulled Taeyeon away. On the surface, he still maintained his humility, but towards these people who were inconsistent in front of and behind him, he really couldn't muster up any enthusiasm, and was too lazy to bother with them.
After finally squeezing out of the activity room, he was stopped again, but this time he couldn't brush it off - it was Bao'er.
"That song is awesome!" Wearing a baseball cap, and not yet 20 years old, but already famous throughout Asia, she smiled and said: "With such composing and lyrics ability, why haven't you released an album?"
She has been abroad for the past two years and wouldn't know about the company's plans. An Junhe smiled, "Leaving tomorrow, currently filming a TV series, debuted as an actor first."
"Oh!" She nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I won't keep you in suspense either. In the future, if you release an album, put this song on the record, can I collaborate with you at that time?
When he heard this, An Junhe was taken aback. It was clear that Bao'er had stopped him for this purpose. To be honest, he hadn't thought of it before. Previously, he had temporarily collaborated with Bao'er to sing the female voice part because she had the richest reading experience and more professional quality. Even if they were temporary partners, there would be no mistakes.
But after being shocked for a moment, he burst out laughing. Such things were naturally sought after, and he immediately nodded in agreement: "Great, I can also bask in the glory of my seniors!"
Seeing him agree, Bao'er's smile suddenly brightened up, the ponytail tied behind her head swayed gently under the hat, and she stretched out one hand: "Alright then! Here's my private mobile number, when it's confirmed that you're releasing an album, give me a call and I'll adjust my schedule to cooperate with you."
