15: Sonata: Ring Out (2)Translated by EatApplePies


"What the...?"

Outside the recording booth, Team Leader Shim exclaimed to himself without realizing it. He was initially surprised by Do Wook's improved voice that stuck in his ear and his precise tone, and his sense of tempo continued to surprise him.

Shim Jun looked around his surroundings and observed the members sitting in the back. They were also thinking 'Has he always sung like this?'

Of course, Shim Jun had a general idea about the members' skills. That much was a given in order to produce an album. Based on that understanding, this team's lead vocalist was going to be Ahn Hyung Seo. Skill-wise Ahn Hyung Seo was the most impressive. After that, Kang Do Wook and Suk Ji Hoon were neck and neck. His overall conclusion was that pretty soon Kang Do Wook will blow past him and get ahead.

Therefore, he had regarded Do Wook as a subvocalist. However, Do Wook's song he was listening to now was not a voice that can be used as a subvocalist.

"He's full of surprises."

Yong Soo Chul murmured. Shim Jun also strongly expressed his agreement. Do Wook's singing reached its highlight. Yong Soo Chul even felt a little sorry that until just now, out of prejudice based on his looks, he was thinking he would be happy if he just sang even 'somewhat' well.

The members were the ones who observed Do Wook's development the closest. Still, now that they've properly heard Do Wook's singing, they were surprised once again. Among them, Ahn Hyung Seo was the most surprised.

'Do Wook...He's really amazing.'

Ahn Hyung Seo lowered his shoulders and was lost in his own thoughts, unlike his usual self.

Sense of crisis.

Yes, this was a sense of crisis. Ahn Hyung Seo developed a sense of crisis that he might have to give up the position of lead vocalist to Do Wook.

When Do Wook came out of the booth, the atmosphere in the recording studio was heightened. The ends of Do Wook's mouth seemed to go up a little when Team Leader Shim specifically told him that he did a good job.

There was still Ahn Hyung Seo's turn left and there was no certainty on how the part distribution would go, but if he complimented him any more than that, then Do Wook might get excited. In other words, Team Leader Shim only lightly complimented him on purpose. To be honest, Do Wook knew better than anyone that the team had to be successful for him to be successful. If it meant the team could do well, it didn't matter who became the lead vocalist.

Then, Ahn Hyung Seo entered the booth.

Ahn Hyung Seo sang the song he was most confident in, Kim Byung Soo's 'I Miss You', to the best of his abilities. It was also Do Wook's song during his audition.

Ahn Hyung Seo showed off a cool high note that stretched out through "I Miss You." It was a high note that made one feel relieved. His skills had definitely improved greatly from his early days as trainee, when he could only sing slightly high notes with his unique voice.

'As expected, Hyung Seo's skills are also no joke. He already has a lot of talents, and he's even good at singing...'

Team leader Shim Jun nodded his head with satisfaction. Yong Soo Chul was, of course, feeling satisfied at the members' amazing skills and couldn't ask for more.

'I'm giving my song to a team like this. It was worth it!'

They cleaned up the area after they were done checking all the members' skills. Oh Baek Ho stepped up and cleaned up. The members stood in a line and said goodbye to Team Leader Shim and Yong Soo Chul with a deep bow.
