My Daughter is a Music Genius

“uh? manager!”

Park Joong-won, who was rushing to get home from work, quickly stepped forward at the familiar voice calling him from behind.

Then, Choi Woo-jin, who called Park Joong-won, comes running.

“Oh, why are you leaving?”

“I don’t want to hear your chatter.”

“When did I say I was chatty?”

“Every day, man.”

“When do you say you like that kind of confidence?”

Choi Woo-jin said that and made a muffled sound, then stretched out.

Park Joong-won glanced at him and opened his mouth.

“What are you doing for fun these days?”

“Oh, right. The person who worked with the team leader is now in charge of Seo Yena sunbaenim’s album as a producer.”

“Oh, that’s because you’re a composer.”

“How did you know? I didn’t say that to the manager on purpose.”

Woojin Choi asks while blinking his eyes.

I was going to secretly surprise Park Joong-won by saying it casually, but I was surprised that Park Joong-won already knew about it.

“Sunghyun told me. He knows I brought you.”

“right. That’s right. Anyway, I’m working with Sunghyun hyung.”

“Fun? I don’t even look tired these days. Do you think it’s more fun than when you were a trainee?”

“Oh, I’m totally crazy. The team leader wouldn’t have been like that when he was working with Sunghyun hyung. It’s just hard to do something right away… hey To be honest, I almost fell in love with it, but I struggled to endure it.”

Woojin Choi responds by shaking his head.

At his words, Park Joong-won burst into laughter.

“What up to that? He did a good job, but not that much.”

“Eh. You weren’t kidding at all. I just tweaked the song a little bit, so it’s a snap.”

“yes?”

Park Joong-won turned his head to Choi Woo-jin’s words and looked at Choi Woo-jin.

Choi Woo-jin blinked and looked at Park Joong-won at his curious expression.

I knew that Jo Sung-hyun was musically gifted to some extent and that his ears were very sensitive and accurate.

I knew he had signed a contract and started working as a nominal producer.

Team leader Woo Kyung-soo came and asked about Jo Sung-hyun, so he advised me to trust him because he’s not a bad boy musically.

‘But, I never thought that I would touch the song myself.’

At first, I didn’t even think that team leader Woo Kyung-soo would allow it.

No matter how much he said that Jo Sung-hyun is a kid with not bad musical abilities, there’s no way he would allow that.

It was absurd to take a kid who was working as a manager a month or two ago and make him work as a producer.

“why?”

“No, does Seonghyeon directly touch the song?”

“yes. I got an email asking if it was possible to edit, so I replied that it is possible enough as long as I don’t go through the emotional line… They asked me to meet up right away, so I had a meeting.”

“and?”

“And well, I explained a lot of things and made a file and showed it to you, but I did my best to edit it, so I didn’t like it or didn’t like it. After fiddling with it for five minutes, it came out a lot cleaner than what I did?”

“You mean that if you edited the song yourself, the result was much better than what you did?”

“yes. But why do you have such a serious face?”

Choi Woo-jin asked Park Joong-won why he was like that.

Park Joong-won made a serious face.

Clearly, he knew that Cho Sung-hyun was musically gifted.

I knew that seeing and listening to songs, and sometimes singing at karaoke together, was also quite good… .

‘He was such a talented kid?’

Park Joong-won shook his head slightly and opened his mouth.

“Hey, Woojin-ah.”

“yes?”

“How much did you learn to compose?”

“It took me about four months to learn all the elements of composition. After that, I kept trying and moaning hard on my own.”

“Is that two years now?”

“yes. exactly… Well. 1 year and 8 months?”

Woojin Choi nodded and said.

Park Joong-won personally thought that Choi Woo-jin was also very talented musically.

Cho Seong-hyun is touching a song that Choi Woo-jin worked hard for two years to compose, and Choi Woo-jin trembled like this and admired Cho Seong-hyun’s skills?

‘Does that make sense?’

As Park Joong-won knew, Jo Sung-hyun had never learned to compose.

But how can Choi Woo-jin be able to handle a song so skillfully that he admires it?

“I have to ask.”

“What?”

“Sunghyun, how did you learn to compose?”

“Eh? What are you talking about? It sounds like someone who has been working for 10 years. The manager doesn’t know?”

“How do I know everything?”

“I thought the manager didn’t know anything. I’ll work hard for you, so can’t you take me for a ride?”

“Yeah, it’s not too late.”

“Hey, why are you like this?”

“Why do I have to listen while driving you to ask Seonghyun?”

“Because the manager picked me up?”

Woojin Choi smiles and says.

At his brazen remark, Park Joong-won laughed.

“I got it, ma’am. let’s go.”

“Go ahead, boss Park.”

Park Joong-won, who laughed lightly at Choi Woo-jin’s exaggerated bow and spoke, moved on.

Deeply, I thought that I would have to contact Jo Sung-hyun sooner or later.

Tuesday.

Jo Sung-hyun decided to play together at home after the child left the house.

Decided to watch a movie while having dinner.

I thought it would be nice to see the Little Mermaid movie, and Jo Sung-hyun was not at work, so when Chae-yoon was in kindergarten, I made time by studying the songs that the child could choose in the second round of the finals.

“Chae Yoon-ah.”

“yes?”

“After watching the movie, shall we decide which song to sing at the contest together?”

“yes!”

Chae-yoon nodded in reply.

Tonight’s menu was homemade hamburgers.

It was embarrassing to even call it a hamburger because it was just morning bread and stuffed stuff like that.

‘It should be delicious.’

Jo Seong-hyeon thought to himself and looked at Chae-yoon, who was eagerly holding a hamburger and eating.

“tasty?”

“… Uh!”

Swallowing the hamburger in his mouth, the child answered.

Jo Sung-hyun smiled lightly and started eating the hamburger.

Since the size of the morning bread itself was not large, it was fortunate that I made several.

Because Jo Sung-hyun took a bite and the supplies were halved in an instant.

“Hey?”

Chae-yoon made a strange noise when she saw Cho Sung-hyun eating a hamburger.

The child opened his eyes and looked at Jo Sung-hyun.

“Dad is dead… I ate a lot!”

Chae-yoon exclaimed in wonder.

Jo Sung-hyun laughed and put the other half he was holding in one hand in his mouth.

The child said wow and admired it, and he opened his mouth eagerly and put the hamburger in.

But no matter how much he opened his mouth, there was bound to be a limit to the child.

In the end, Chaeyoon ate a hamburger as much as she could, but only ate a little.

Jo Sung-hyun wiped the sauce off Chae-yoon’s lips, and then played the movie.

An animated film, The Little Mermaid basically had a very simple plot.

A story that is not difficult for children to understand.

It was the first time for Jo Seong-hyeon to watch a movie from beginning to end like this, as almost everything he saw while passing by scene by chance.

The movie came out when Jo Sung-hyun was young, so it is quite old.

But the good thing about animated movies is that even if they are old, they don’t look that bad.

Is it precisely that the lifespan of the film is longer than that of other live-action films?

Although Darjeeling has been pushing for a live-action film in many ways recently, Cho Sung-hyun still thought that Darjeeling was a famous animation artist.

“The little mermaid is so pretty… .”

Chaeyoon muttered as if possessed while watching a movie.

Do you know that you are much cuter and prettier when you say that?

Seonghyung smiled softly.

As always with Darjeeling’s films, The Little Mermaid also had quite a few OSTs.

Chae-yoon was quite shocked there.

The songs were completely different from the Little Mermaid songs that he knew so far.

It was natural.

The little mermaid song from the aquarium and the mermaid song from darjeeling are inevitably different.

However, the child quickly got used to the new little mermaid song.

“Chaeyoon really likes the Little Mermaid!”

The child laughs and cries.

Suddenly, when Chaeyoon, who was sitting on Seonghyeon’s lap, lifted her head, Seonghyun slightly pressed the child’s chin so that she could move her gaze to the TV again.

The movie ended quickly.

As soon as the movie ended, Chaeyoon hummed a song and shook her head.

“It was fun?”

“yes!”

The child nodded, then stopped for a moment.

“But why did the little mermaid marry the prince?”

“Well… Do you two love each other?”

I don’t know what Chae-yoon means to ask, so Jo Sung-hyun gave the most basic answer.

The child tilted his head.

“Does Chae-yoon love her father?”

“But Chae-yoon can’t marry her father?”

“yes… .”

With a sullen face, the child nodded.

Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth, holding back the laughter that was about to burst out at any moment.

The child obviously knew that he could not marry Jo Sung-hyun, but it seemed that he did not understand why.

“Dad married mom.”

“that’s right.”

“If Chae-yoon finds someone like her father later, will she get married?”

“There is no one like you!”

Chae Yoon-i says while looking at Jo Sung-hyun.

The child had an expression on his face as if there was no one like Jo Sung-hyun in the world.

“Will the person whom Chaeyoon loves like Daddy appear someday?”

“Then, will Chae-yoon marry the person Chae-yoon loves just like her father?”

“Well… .”

Jo Sung-hyun hesitated to answer.

I don’t know what kind of answer to give.

After thinking for a while, he finally shook his head.

“If Chae-yoon loves that person, and that person also loves Chae-yoon, then we can get married. You may not.”

“Umm… Then Chae-yoon won’t get married!”

the child declared.

Jo Sung-hyun smiled and opened his mouth.

“Why aren’t you getting married?”

“The little mermaid married the prince and couldn’t see her father? Chae-yoon will continue to live with her father!”

The child took Jo Sung-hyun’s hand and said.

At Chae-yoon’s words, Jo Sung-hyun burst out the laughter he had been holding back.

Daughter is the truth.
