5: A prepared talented person (2)

“Composition?”

“Yes.”

Kim Soom played with her braids out of habit. She was giving keyboard lessons to earn money for the band’s album. She was also in charge of composing for the band, so she could teach him if she wanted to, but determined for herself that she wasn’t good enough to do that yet.

“You want to learn composition too? I don’t have the skills to teach anybody. There’s a lot of other good teachers if you look around.”

“But I want to learn from you, teacher.”

It was a voice with a firm will. Kim Soom slightly averted her eyes.

Kim Soom was dubious. She wasn’t famous for composing, so it was natural to be taken aback that a student who came in after seeing the bulletin was asking her to teach him composition, which she wasn’t even in charge of.

Bo Myung also noticed Kim Soom was flustered. He quickly racked his brain.

“You’re the keyboardist for the band Rainbow .. aren’t you?”

“Oh my goodness, you know Rainbow?”

“Yes. I like Rainbow. To think that I’d meet you here! To my understanding, you also write the songs for Rainbow.”

“That’s right!”

Immediately Kim Soom’s embarrassment changed into delight and she blushed.

“I like all of Rainbow’s songs. Is there any way I can learn from you?”

“It’s fascinating that a young student would know our songs. You must really have a lot of interest in music!”

What Bo Myung actually liked were Kim Soom’s ballads, not the tracks on the indie band Rainbow’s album. He never even listened to it properly. However, the ballads Kim Soom composed were not released to the world yet. He decided it was more convincing to say he likes Rainbow’s songs.

It was the right decision. Rainbow was starting to grow a fan base, and Kim Soom was excited that a high school student liked Rainbow’s songs.

“Yes, please.”

He had an extremely likable appearance and was even polite, unlike high school students these days. His tone was like he just came out of a business meeting.

Although she was worried whether she would be able to teach him well, Kim Soom started to get excited about giving it a try.

“Have you learned the piano before?”

“Yes. But it was when I was little so my fingers are stiff.”

He attended piano academy until his first year of middle school. It was the only academy he attended for his dream due to financial hardship. He could probably still play the piano if it were Bo Myung’s body, but his current body was Kang Do Wook. He remembers in his head, but he wasn’t used to it in this body.

‘Would I be able to play the piano with Kang Do Wook’s hands?’

Kim Soom nodded her head.

“Then you must know how to read sheet music. How well do you know chords? If you want to compose you need to at least know chords.

“Yes, I know all the chords.”

“That’s a relief!”

At that moment a man in his early 30’s entered. A man with unkempt hair, looking drab with his shirt collar popped.
