Episode 9. Snorkel

Recently, through repeated strange coincidences, I was able to figure out a few things.

First of all, a certain melody can be heard clearly whenever the whole body is submerged in water. This means that if even one toe is out of the water, you won't be able to hear it.

And that melody sounds like a 'higher version' of the melody that was lingering in my head before I went into the water.

The reason I call this the higher version is because no matter who listens to it - but only I can - that version is better.

I did an experiment for this hypothesis.

First, I sang a song by singer Hyoin by myself.

And immediately went into the water.

What I heard then was not the melody of the song I had been practicing before, but as expected.

Above all, it had been changed into a much more elegant form than the version I had sung.

All I had to do was imitate the melody I heard underwater.

Anyway, that melody is also my voice.

At times like this, I wonder if my voice comes from the sea.

Or, is it the voice that the sea gifted me?

Such emotional thoughts.

From that day on, I took baths more often. However, I felt like the skin on my entire body would peel off if I tried to take a hot bath like usual, so I took a bath at a lukewarm temperature when practicing singing.

There were days when I took a bath three times a day. After about three weeks, his father was puzzled why the water bill was so high.

Now, I feel that the perfection of my singing is changing day by day.

However, whenever the speed of development increases, I become greedy.

In the end, I ordered a delivery.

Ding-dong!

When the doorbell rang announcing that a package had arrived, I ran out of my meal and checked the items.

As expected, it was the snorkel I ordered.

I finished eating and took a light walk for about 40 minutes to digest.

But all I could think about was how much I wanted to be underwater with my snorkel on for a few minutes and listen to the song.

Clap

Tiriri-

Enter the house, close the door, and immediately take off your clothes. Take a quick shower in the shower booth and put on a snorkel.

Lie down in the bathtub.

These days, all I'm thinking about is how to best sing .

As a result, the melody can naturally be heard even under water.

Since I'm wearing a snorkel, I can stay underwater for several minutes if I only breathe through my mouth, which means I can focus on the melody longer.

I open my eyes underwater and look up at the surface. You can see the waves in the bathtub slowly lapping and then gradually becoming calmer.

But suddenly, it occurred to me that the lighting in the bathroom was too artificial. That hindered immersion.

'Should I try turning off the lights?'

An act of eccentricity that an ordinary person would never do. But for me, this kind of eccentricity is just practice and effort.
