Fused harmony

23.

The prodigal son returns!

[10:00AM]

A few weeks had passed, I was settled fully in the new apartment and was getting ready to help produce another song for NewJeans, the last song was popular around the office so they wanted another.

[Y/N]: Honestly, I don't get why, it's not like I'm some genius or something, why me?

Hanni: The last one was amazing and you made it in such a short amount of time... if anyone here is a genius it's definitely you.

Now, whilst she did make a valid point, I wasn't one for bragging and working on a tight schedule wasn't fun. Plus working for the girls meant I had a direct effect on their performance and not just myself so there was no room for even a little complacency.

[Y/N]: Fine, fine. I'll help you guys out I'll have it done asap, mind if I use the studios here though?

I said this after turning my head to the staff, who nodded quickly interested to see my process.

I scooted into a room and let everyone go back to their usual routines whilst I started cooking up a new track for the song.

This one was taking a lot longer, nothing sounded right. Was I trying too hard? Nah... then why does this suck so bad...

I deleted yet another loop and began from scratch.

[Y/N]: What if we loop the sound of trumpets on-top of a snare...

This song was a lot harder to get right, a lot more fiddly since there was nothing to base it off of like when I made Super Shy.

I'd been racking my brain for hours but finally, I'm getting close but...

My eyes feel so damn heavy.

I feel myself slipping into a sleep, my head resting on the small space available on the desk in front of me.

What felt like forever was only a short while, I woke up with a blanket draped loosely over my shoulders, and the sound of a familiar voice humming softly behind me.

I lifted my head slowly before turning to see who was waiting for being met with the face of the sun personified.

Danielle: Morning sleepy head, rest well?

I rubbed my eyes freeing them of the sleep before responding to the starry-eyed girl before me.

[Y/N]: How long was I out?

Danielle: Well... you last edited the song around 2 hours ago from what I saw on the timeline. So around that long... you looked cold though so I brought you a blanket from the common area.

I gave a shy smile, nodding a thank you and folded the blanket neatly placing it on the sofa behind me.

[Y/N]: did you listen?

I asked, a sense of tentativeness present in my voice.

Danielle: No! Didn't want to disturb you so I left it alone. You looked so peaceful, y'know?

I gave a slight smile at that, it was nice of her to he so considerate especially considering most people would want to know what they're going to be singing over ASAP.

I handed her a piece of paper with some lyrics on it.

[Y/N]: Now my Korean isn't that good yet, this alone took me an hour to get just an intro and a section of the chorus but I think it works.
