HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 235: Wedding Song (2)

Kang Ra-Eun thought very deeply about being asked to sing the wedding song. She did not dislike singing, even in front of strangers. She had even sung at the weddings of two of her friends in her past life. She had not been an amazing singer, but she had also not been tone-deaf.

Even despite all that, Ra-Eun had never sung at a karaoke bar after becoming a woman. It was not because she had come to hate singing, but because she had not been confident enough to sing with a female voice during her initial years as a woman. She had gotten much more used to it now, but not enough for her to immediately accept the request to sing at a wedding.

“Why me of all people?” Ra-Eun asked.

She was curious about why the conversation had led to this result in the time that she hadn’t been here.

Choi Ro-Mi answered first, “Because Ga-Ae mentioned that you have an amazing voice. I still remember it to this day.”

“Doesn’t it mean you’re a fantastic singer if a famous singer praises your voice?”

“So true.”

Han Ga-Ae had happened to hear Ra-Eun’s singing when she had first visited the GNF agency building. Ra-Eun had never expected that episode to influence an event much further down the line.

“Your singing skills aside, I’m sure everyone will love it if you sing.”

“Yeah. After all, you’re a celebrity.”

It would certainly garner attention if Ra-Eun sang at the wedding. Ra-Eun turned her gaze toward Ahn Se-Hyun.

Se-Hyun softly smiled and expressed, “You don’t have to if it’s too much pressure. I don’t want to force it on you.”

Se-Hyun was as kind-hearted as always. Ra-Eun had heard Se-Hyun’s circumstances from Seo Yi-Seo three days ago; Se-Hyun had been planning on just registering for a marriage certificate instead of holding a ceremony, because...

‘Their financial circumstances aren’t that good, if I remember correctly.’

Se-Hyun’s household was not very well-off. Just like Ra-Eun’s family, Se-Hyun had lost her mother at a very young age, and her father had to raise three kids all on his own. As the eldest daughter, Se-Hyun had given up on going to a four-year university and went to a community college instead to get a job as soon as possible and help out with family expenses. Se-Hyun’s dream had been to become an astronomer, but had given up on that dream without hesitation for her family.

Her fiance’s household was not that well-off either, so they had planned to give up on holding a ceremony. However, they decided to have one after strong opposition from both of their parents.

Ra-Eun had only found out about Se-Hyun’s family circumstances after becoming an adult.

‘I had no idea since she was always so bright back in high school.’

Ra-Eun found Se-Hyun worthy of respect. She sighed in her head. Seeing Se-Hyun’s smile had been enough for Ra-Eun to come to a decision.

“Okay, I’ll do it.”

Her classmates, who had been expecting for her to refuse, were in shock.

“R-Really?”

“You’ll sing? Are you sure?”

“Yeah, I’m sure.”

Ra-Eun decided to hold up a mic to pay back the debt that she owed Se-Hyun from back in high school.

Ra-Eun had decided to sing at the wedding, but had no idea what to do now. The biggest problem was which song to sing, so she decided to get advice from the experts: Han Ga-Ae and Rita.
