“It was — longer than we expected — the time we were apart –”
The song went into the chorus. Lee JunYeol’s voice went higher and Han JooYeon’s singing readily supported his. It was a combination of tenor and alto. Lee JunYeol’s voice rang across while Han JooYeon’s became deeper and deeper.
The two’s voices became one and dug into the hearts of the audience.
“The winter is so warm — yet you —”
The song entered the bridge after the chorus. At the same time, Lee JunYeol’s voice entered its peak. Despite his high voice, it wasn’t shaking at all, and Han JooYeon had to try her best not to pop out. Feeling empowered, Lee JunYeol was immersed in his own world and even started improvising.
“Lalala~~”
‘Ah, goddammit.’
Although the audience cheered at the fancy technique, Han JooYeon’s insides were boiling.
‘At least tell me beforehand!’
However, she didn’t show any of it on her face. She was a pro as well. Han JooYeon glanced at Lee JunYeol and tried to match his improvisation. Thanks to her efforts, the song became better and better.
“Wow….”
A high male voice improvised singing and a low, soft female voice created a wonderful harmony. Hearing such a wonderful sound, the audience’s jaws were agape with surprise. They raised their hands and waved in the air.
Like that, the song had entered the second half.
“More than I thought –”
It came back to the chorus again.
At that, a small ‘pshhh’ noise could be heard as snow was sprayed into the air. At the same time, soap bubbles flew in the air as well, creating a winter-like scene inside Lunas. The lights also chimed in to make a warm-looking winter.
KangYoon had a thick smile on his face while looking at the waves of silver light that Lee JunYeol and Han JooYeon had created.
‘So what we’ll do hereafter will be important.’
Several cameras were recording the stage.
KangYoon wondered what to do with the video footage of the stage.
“May we love each — other —”
“May we love each — other —”
The song sped down. The two looked at each other with a soft expression.
“other — now —”
The two’s final harmony could be heard. At the same time, the song finished off with a calm piano sound.
“Waaaaaa—-!”
“Thank you.”
Lee JunYeol and Han JooYeon bowed their heads to the audience.
“Lee JunYeol! Lee JunYeol!”
“Han JooYeon! Han JooYeon!”
The audience’s cheers decorated the end of that stage. The remnants of that stage could be felt through the remaining soap bubbles in the air. Perhaps due to that, everyone cheered out loud for the two performers.
A Christmas for everyone – the final song for the event was now over.
The two of them were the main characters in that scene.
***
“Aaah, today was the best. My heart is still racing….”
“JunYeol-oppa, have me.”
After the concert, the audience returned to their homes with satisfaction. Even the audience that had doubts due to the small scale of the venue, was very happy to see something so unexpectedly good.
After the concert, the word ‘Han JooYeon’ appeared on the top 10 search results in an hour. There were many other words associated with her name as well, such as her performance, Christmas and whatnot.
“I remember the saying – a rich man going bankrupt will still feed himself for 3 years….”
Lee HyunJi, who was looking at the top search term charts on her phone, exclaimed slightly. She was cleaning Lunas’s main hall with a broom right now. KangYoon was also mopping next to her.
“Although Eddios’s presence has become fainter in the industry, they are, after all, a group who had dominated the industry for years. There’s no way people aren’t interested.”
“I guess so. You’re right, people should have a strand of interest. You aimed your target well.”
“Yes, indeed. Even people who have no interest in the industry itself should click the search term at least once when they see a familiar name on the charts. Through that, everyone would eventually know. People who are interested will search for videos, and that way we’ll spread to the general populace.”
“So that’s the reason you decided not to prevent the audience from recording videos, president.”
“There’s no reason for us to do everything. People are willing to help us out, after all.”
Usually, paid-entry concerts did not allow video recording. However, KangYoon did not stop them from recording. This was for marketing. Amongst those many people that recorded the stages, there will be at least one that decides to upload the video onto the internet.
Lee HyunJi tapped the contents of the dustpan into the trash can. Jung HyeJin asked KangYoon in curiosity.
“President, what do we do with the one we recorded then?”
“Let’s upload that on Aries.”
KangYoon mentioned Eddios’s official fan club. Although many fans had left after Eddios became inactive, many loyal fans were waiting endlessly for a new album.
“Okay.”
“You should take care of the matters regarding the fan club, miss HyeJin.”
“Yes, president. I can upload Eddios’s schedule, notifications, and photos, right?”
“Yes. Now that you mention it, I should tell the girls to upload some feeds themselves. We’ll have to bring the official fan club back to life to have some power.”
Jung HyeJin wrote down KangYoon’s orders on her memo pad app on her phone. As KangYoon did not give direct orders usually, she thought that she should do anything that he did order when he rarely did give direct orders.
While the three were cleaning up the audience seats, the artists, including Han JooYeon, had finished up cleaning the stage and came down.
“We finished cleaning the stage.”
KangYoon glanced at the stage when Lee HyunAh said that. The stage had indeed become clean.
“Well done, people. You should be tired so go and take a….”
Before he could even finish his words, all the musicians started cleaning the audience seats. KangYoon was momentarily taken aback by the events.
“People, you should really go and take ….”
“You’re working, president. How can we rest?”
Kim JaeHoon said so as their representative. The others nodded their heads in agreement.
“Geez.”
KangYoon chuckled. He felt sorry as they should be tired after that performance.
HanJooYeon also mingled in with everyone and wiped the floor with a mop. She seemed to be happy that the performance had gone well and she was even humming.
“World has a good mood.”
“It might be better if oppa decided to treat us out!”
The first words were from Han JooYeon and the latter was from Lee HyunAh. Everyone turned around to KangYoon at the mention of food.
KangYoon smiled with a slight sigh.
“…Fine, let’s go get some meat.”
“Hooray!”
At KangYoon’s declaration, all the staff and the musicians erupted out in joy. They also started cleaning up a lot faster due to the motivation of meat.
Although the mood was good, Lee HyunJi and KangYoon had other things to worry about.
“President, we need more people in charge of Lunas.”
“We do. Musicians cleaning up afterward… Looks like we should hire a caretaker no matter what the cost.”
Although the mood was indeed good, it wasn’t good at all for musicians to do things other than music. KangYoon thought that he had to hire someone else to do it and fast.

SamSoonie_not_Jennie: That dude has lost it.
JooYeon_the_only: *Sob sob*… finally, finally our goddess has returned!
SeoYu_oppa_here: Oooh, finally!
Eddios’s official fan club, Aries.
Activities could finally be seen here after a long time. Han JooYeon, a member of Eddios, had posted something. That night at 10 p.m., the open chat blew up.
Blingbling_JooYeon: Looks like the new company is not an idiot. Making a greeting.
*♡JooYeon♡*: Did you see the concert in Hongdae?
JooYeon_is_Ris: Wasn’t that the duet with the Sedy dude? They sang so well.
Gimme_double_chaps: I don’t give a sh*t. I’m not interested whether they make a comeback or not.
There will be a vote to expel Gimme_double_chaps.
Gimme_double_chaps was expelled.
JooYeon_the_only: That guy won’t give me double chapters… Anyway, JooYeon’s duet was so awesome this time!
Blingbling_JooYeon: The concert venue belongs to the company, apparently.
Fatty_pigeon: There’s a rumor that the owner of the company is the former planner for Eddios. That’s also the reason why the girls decided to leave MG.
Eddios4ever: Really? That guy’s one loyal guy.
Fatty_pigeon: They’re also looking into meeting with the managers of the fan club. They’ll upload the schedule here, and also give out tickets to the fan meeting, or so they say.
Eddios4ever: Whoa, looks like Eddios’s fans will come back.
The open chat room blew up with conversation. Their conversation lasted the entire night talking about World Entertainment, Han JooYeon’s new performance, as well as the future.

Last week of December.
This was an important week that contained the end-of-year ceremonies.
Kim JaeHoon was given invitations from both cable TV stations and public TV stations. He had made a comeback after 4 years of absence, and his new album had made incredible achievements.
At KangYoon’s house, Kim JaeHoon was currently practicing singing
“If my breath — reaches you –”
Since the door was closed, there was almost no noise at all. The room he was using had soundproofing done to it. Although he could just move out and live separately, Kim JaeHoon preferred to stay in KangYoon’s house. It was then easier for him to learn from KangYoon working at home, and could listen to various news from the company as well.
KangYoon fell into contemplation while looking at the invitation.
‘The award ceremony, huh.’
KangYoon felt excited as well. This would be his first time since becoming a business owner. It may be difficult for him to attend one himself, but a musician belonging to his company was going to one. This made him feel glad.
‘I can’t look down on cable TV stations. They’ll only grow bigger and bigger in the future. Let’s definitely take KS TV, and there’s overseas filming starting from the 30th, so… I guess OTS is the only one left.’
Kim JaeHoon wasn’t someone that showed up a lot on TVs anyway. KangYoon decided on the schedule and sent the file off to Jung HyeJin.
After that, KangYoon and Kim JaeHoon started rearranging a song for the award ceremony. They were given 8 minutes, meaning, he had to sing 2 songs. KangYoon asked for Kim JaeHoon’s opinion, his opinion which was to sing the title song from this album and one from his previous album.
“Can’t I do a duet too?”
“A duet? Why?”
“I wanted to do it after seeing JunYeol-hyung do it at Christmas. JooYeon was definitely good at singing….”
KangYoon chuckled. Han JooYeon and Lee JunYeol’s stage seemed to have influenced Kim JaeHoon as well. The two fit so well with each other. It was no wonder he wanted a partner of his own.
However, KangYoon shook his head.
“JooYeon’s voice doesn’t sound like it would fit with yours.”
“Really?”
Kim JaeHoon became dejected at KangYoon’s words. As proof, KangYoon opened Han JooYeon’s singing file from the computer, then told Kim JaeHoon to sing along.
“We will — meet again –”
After singing a single verse, Kim JaeHoon stopped the song. KangYoon also turned off the soundtrack.
“You’re right. Our voices don’t fit.”
“Told you.”
“JunYeol-hyung’s voice fits really well though… Well, it doesn’t fit mine. I also want to do a duet though…”
Seeing Kim JaeHoon’s disappointment, KangYoon put his hand on Kim JaeHoon’s shoulders.
“Let’s go solo this time. I’ll definitely look for a suitable partner for you next time.”
“Okay.”
Kim JaeHoon knew that KangYoon didn’t make empty promises. He accepted and turned around to the computer.
The rearrangement didn’t take that long.
Kim JaeHoon took the soundtrack that appeared like magic and returned to his room. The door closed and the quiet sound of singing could be heard through the door.
‘Sheesh, he’s such a practice maniac.’
Satisfied, KangYoon smiled.
“It was — longer than we expected — the time we were apart –”
The song went into the chorus. Lee JunYeol’s voice went higher and Han JooYeon’s singing readily supported his. It was a combination of tenor and alto. Lee JunYeol’s voice rang across while Han JooYeon’s became deeper and deeper.

“May we love each — other —”
“May we love each — other —”
The song sped down. The two looked at each other with a soft expression.
“other — now —”
The two’s final harmony could be heard. At the same time, the song finished off with a calm piano sound.
“Waaaaaa—-!”
“Thank you.”
Lee JunYeol and Han JooYeon bowed their heads to the audience.
“Lee JunYeol! Lee JunYeol!”
“Han JooYeon! Han JooYeon!”
