chapter 15
15. Love song (戀慕歌) What is this song!!?
a few days later
Gyu-ha, who has been reading the script for the past few days and familiarizing himself with the script, stopped by the Blue Bird Nursery School before starting filming.
When he started getting busy, he couldn’t come as often as before, and there were times when Midgeoreum called me every day saying that he had finished writing the lyrics for his love song, and that he wanted to let me hear it.
“hello. brother! Congratulations. Being cast in a new work! I saw the article.”
“Thank you, Winter. So, did you write the lyrics well?”
“Because I’ve been working really hard on completing the song, right? Please wait a while and see.”
“Then let’s do everything and listen to it later.”
Kyu-ha and Winter did various chores and caring for the children as they always did, and when they had some free time, the two went under the ginkgo tree.
“I really liked the song my brother gave me, so I had a hard time writing the lyrics. Please listen.”
Big big aaa~
After clearing his throat once, Midwinter began to sing the finalized song of love.
[I lost my way with you, I don’t feel any emotions.
My heart aches and I can’t breathe well
I want you to hurt me, so I won’t be sad anymore
It’s a feeling of falling, this feeling of falling into the dark
I don’t even know where to go
I only look at the stars and in the end I wonder about you
Are you looking down on me?]
The voice of midwinter spread softly under the golden ginkgo tree.
Her tone was clear and clean, and her emotions were restrained, so the lyrics she uttered calmly made the song more sad.
“uh···. how about it. brother?”
“Hmm… First of all, the song, lyrics, and voice are well harmonized, so you can immerse yourself in the song.
And you did a really good job of catching a point that everyone who has longing can relate to.”
Kyu-ha’s love song was composed by himself, but he was satisfied with the song given to him because the song became richer with the addition of his voice and lyrics.
Winter smiled as if he was relieved by Kyuha’s plain but sincere praise.
“Whew… I’m glad. Because the song is finished, it’s really my song… or our song? Oh, that’s strange too. Anyway, I am so proud and like my baby, and there is something that makes me attached to the song, right? ah! And the love song was registered with the Copyright Association under my name as the composer and lyricist under my brother’s name!”
After thinking about it, Kyu-ha thought that the song of love would suit the mood of his latest work, ‘Pygmalion’s reverse effect’.
“Gyeol-ah, do you have any plans to use this love song as an OST for a drama?”
“Could it be that this is the ‘Pygmalion reverse effect’ that my brother is doing this time? If that’s the case, I’d be so grateful!!”
In fact, it was common for an idol group’s lead vocalist to be under-appreciated for his potential or ability as a vocalist, because he could only show a few lines even if he had singing ability.
As a result, even if an idol lead vocalist released a solo album, his ability was not verified, so he had a lot of difficulties in promoting it.
However, through drama OSTs, it was common for OSTs to rise naturally as the popularity of dramas increased, so I was able to build awareness as a vocalist easier than I thought.
“When I think about it, I think our works and songs go well together. I’ll ask the director again tomorrow.”

next day
Just in time for a meeting, I heard that PD Jeong Yeon-hee was with author Park Jung-ah, so I sent an e-mail with the sound source file of the song of love and made a phone call.
“Yes, P.D. I sent you a music file. Can you judge what it would be like to use it as an OST for our drama? If you don’t like it, you can delete it right away. Yes Yes. Please listen and contact me.”
And 5 minutes later, PD Jung Yeon-hee called again.
“Miss Gyuha!? what is this song who called you? Does it fit the atmosphere of our drama so well?”
Kyu-ha said with a grin as if he had expected it.
“The singer I sang is Heart Signal’s lead vocal Midwyeol. I happened to hear it because I was close, and I sent it because the lyrics and the atmosphere of the song seemed to fit well with our drama.”
Kyuha did not bother to mention that he was the composer of the song.
“ah! heart signal. Did the lead vocalist there sing this well? I’ll have to call their agency. Thanks anyway. Mr Kyuha! You solved one problem. Ho Ho”
Producer Jeong Yeon-hee immediately contacted Heart Signal’s agency, Blue Moon Entertainment, and informed them that he wanted to use Midwinter’s song as a drama OST.
And that night, Kyu-ha gave Kyu-ha a message of gratitude.
– Winter: Thank you so much. brother!!!!
Thanks to that, the OST contract went well and I feel like I’m one step closer to my dream~!
After meeting my brother, I think things that I was worried about have been resolved. ㅠㅠ
(Emotional emoticon)
– Kyuha: It’s all because you worked hard hahahaha
Anyway, since we’re on the same boat, let’s do our best together.
– Winter: We… (shameful)
Got it brother! I will work hard too!!
(fighting emoticon)
“I like it so much.”
Winter couldn’t sleep with excitement as he seemed to be getting closer to his dream one step at a time.

On the day of the script reading
Script reading is a more important place than you think, whether it’s a drama or a movie. As the saying goes, a beginning is half done, it was the first day when all the cast members gathered, and it was also the day each cast demonstrated their lines in front of others.
“hello. I am PD Jeong Yeon-hee, who is in charge of directing ‘Pygmalion’s reverse effect.”
“Nice to meet you. I am writer Park Jung-ah who wrote the script.”
Starting with producer Jeong Yeon-hee and writer Park Jung-ah, we had time to greet each other in turn from the lead actors to the supporting actors, and the full-scale script reading began.
Although the atmosphere at the script reading site was somewhat tense, all the actors who were seated were seriously engaged in the script reading.
It must have been a script that all the actors must have read dozens of times, but the lines recited at the script reading site were, “This is how it tastes!” It gave me a feeling of excitement.
The plot of the drama ‘Pygmalion reverse effect’ was like this.
Bondi Pygmalion effect refers to ‘a person’s belief, expectation, or prediction about something actually happens’.
The male lead, Sichang, was raised by parents who ran a chicken restaurant when he was young, so he spent a lot of time alone in an empty house.
Always feeling lonely and empty, Si-chang, who always spent time alone, caught the eye of an old carving knife that was wandering around in the storage room of the house. As if possessed by something, Si-chang grabbed a carving knife and began to scribble something on the wooden floor.
When the parents returned home late in the evening, they were astonished at what the young sight-changer had done to the wooden floor and tried to scold him, only to realize that what the son had written on the floor was not just graffiti.
The parents, themselves and Sichang, holding hands and going on a picnic together, were engraved on the wooden floor.
And the quality of the finished piece was so sophisticated and lively that it could not be said that it was carved by a child.
“No.. what is this… did you really do it?”
At this time, what Sichang’s parents saw was not Sichang’s longing for his family, but Sichang’s incredible talent.
Since then, Shichang’s parents have been looking for programs related to gifted children, and they have started appearing on TV shows and using them as a means of earning money.
Under the selfish name of adults who just want to make use of the child’s talent… But the sight window was just fine.
It was because he had hoped that he would spend more time with his parents when he first carved a picture on the floor, and that expectation seemed to come true.
However, the situation of being exposed to many broadcasts and having to sculpt like a clown in front of people at various events made sight-singers increasingly tired.
and at some point
Sight Chang stopped sculpting properly.
Even on TV, he sculpted without thinking, and at the event, he made a stupid expression without even holding a knife.
“What the hell are you doing!? You want to see your mother die!?!?”

Naturally, Sichang’s giftedness began to be questioned and he gradually became less interested in those around him.
Si-chang’s parents also returned to their jobs, showing great disappointment in Si-chang.
Si-chang is deeply hurt by the memory of this time, and he is reluctant to show himself in front of people.
From then on, Sichang kept the only piece of stigma in his life secretly where others couldn’t see it.
Other than this, they live a dull life by entering the right department of the right university as their parents wish.
One day, Si-chang, who was notified of participating in the first empty tee as a freshman at university, had no intention of participating in the empty tee, but she reluctantly attends, thinking that for a normal college life, she must attend the first empty tee.
Turtle Rock Beach, the MT site, was a small beach in Incheon, but it was not well known to people.
Anyway, while participating in the game moderately, he seemed normal and got along with the people around him. When most of them were drunk and fell asleep, Si-chang took a camping shovel and chopsticks from his bag and quietly went out to the beach alone.
It was to do a sand sculpture that I really wanted to try.
It was 2 o’clock in the morning.
On the beach, where the darkness fell, there was no human presence and only the sound of the lapping waves could be heard.
Heading in the direction of the light-emitting street lamp, Si-chang stared blankly at the night sea and started sculpting sand with a shovel and chopsticks using the slope of the beach, perhaps thinking of something.
I even thought that the sand pieces would naturally be swept away by the water because the water would fill up with high tide at around 6:00 a.m. anyway.
Through his hands, the sand gradually began to take shape, and by the time three hours had passed, the sand had become the shape of a woman.
Sichang, who was staring blankly at the sand sculpture he had completed, said as if possessed.
“ah···. beautiful…”
I sculpted it unconsciously, but when I finished it, the female figure was literally the closest to my ideal type.
The time when I was admiring my own sculpture for a while.
“Hey… did you do this?”
Upset!
Startled by the sudden voice, Si-chang turned his head and there was a woman staring at him and the sculpture alternately with her eyes wide open.
With the same face as the woman he sculpted…
