“Could Mentor Min Si Young give us some advice?”
“…Advice for the two of you? From me?”
Sunbaenim’s eyes scanned me from head to toe. Maybe because her back was to the camera, her disapproval was blatant.
It was as if she was saying, ‘You’re not within my boundary.’ Considering she currently had a grudge against me, it made sense.
And this was exactly why I had anticipated this.
“Oh, we’re not asking for any special treatment. It’s just that we have some free time. When else would we get the chance to hear advice from such an esteemed senior as you, Mentor Min Si Young?”
…I didn’t come alone.
“Hmmm.”
Though I wasn’t sure about the dance, I had brought along Yu Chan, whose exceptional vocals had previously impressed Min Si Young sunbaenim. His presence beside me helped to slightly soften the atmosphere.
“Well. I guess it’ll be okay for a while.”
She opened up earnestly.
“First of all… the song you chose, ‘Beyond the Waves,’ is very special to me. Actually, I was supposed to debut simultaneously in both Korea and Japan with that song.”
“Oh, but didn’t you debut in Korea with a different song? If I remember correctly….”
“That’s right. I debuted with ‘Nonstop Girl’ in the second year of middle school.”
“Yes! I sang that song at karaoke all the time. Wow, hearing this, it really hits home how young you were when you debuted. It’s clear that someone who led an era truly stands out.”
“Oh, well… that does make me feel good. Thank you, Trainee Bang Yu Chan.”
“Oh, it’s nothing. I was just stating the obvious.”
Yu Chan’s smooth talk made sunbaenim shrug her shoulders once. It seemed that having someone with plenty of social experience from the outside world made a difference.
“But isn’t the person who brought this up curious? You’ve been quiet.”
Trainee Kim Chunyong.
Both Yu Chan and Min Si Young sunbaenim’s gazes were fixed on me.
‘Chunyong, now’s the perfect time.’
Responding to Yu Chan’s subtle wink, I quickly opened my mouth.
“…Of course, I have many questions. But this is a rare opportunity! It’s hard to choose which question to ask.”
“Just ask. It’s not like I’m going to answer everything anyway.”
“Then….”
I spoke quickly and loudly, making sure the camera wouldn’t miss it.
“Why didn’t you debut with ‘Beyond the Waves’?”
At my question, Min Si Young sunbaenim’s mouth clamped shut. It seemed she was about to demonstrate that ‘I don’t answer everything.’
However, that wouldn’t do.
I had to push this painful subject because it was the only way to get proper feedback for Si Woo.
“…….”
Min Si Young sunbaenim’s expression was complicated as she looked at me. She seemed to be weighing her options, unsure of what to say.
