Three years was both short and long.

In particular, men who have served in the army will understand me.

How long is 21 months?

I never thought that just 21 months would feel longer than my six years as a trainee.

'The army... nevermind.'

I finally understood what Seokhwan hyung meant before we separated at the terminal.

Many things happened during these three years.

I helped my grandmother with her shop and joined the army as soon as I became an adult.

It was because I didn't want to spend money on food and I couldn't make a lot either.

At that time, she was worried about my career path.

Frustrated with my childhood dream of becoming an idol, I finally revised my future goals after wandering for a while.

A composer.

I don't know if it was because I inherited it from his parents, who were musicians, but I had my own musical talent and decided to become a composer to make use of it.

If you can't become an idol, you can make music for idols.

That's what I thought.

I thought it would be pretty good to start out as a composer and later become a producer.

So I prepared for the CSAT.

I thought it was essential to enter a good music college to become a composer.

Of course, preparing for the CSAT in the military was not easy at all.

There were many obstacles.

For me, who was obsessed with becoming an idol for six years straight and has neglected my studies, studying for the qualification exam and the CSAT was a huge barrier.

If it wasn't for the fact that I mastered English and Chinese when I was a trainee, I would still be preparing for the college entrance exam.

Two years of study that started with the mindset that I had to start from scratch.

Fortunately, I successfully passed the qualification exam and now only the CSAT was left.

Winter 2013, now.

Three years after I left the company. Soon after being discharged from the military, I, 21-year-old Sun Woojoo, was ready to take my CSAT.

It was cold enough for me to see my breath.

At that moment, I understood what they meant by 'every year, it gets colder on the day of the CSAT'.

Uuu, it's cold.

Since I was discharged from the army, I was walking down the street, browsing the Internet with my new smartphone.

It's still dawn.

It was still time for street lights to be lit.

[Who is the star taking the CSAT today?]

When I clicked on the article in the entertainment section of the portal site, I saw faces that I knew.

TNT's Han Taehyun, La Vie En Rose's Jeon Yubin, etc.

It was packed with faces I saw when I was still at TJ Entertainment.

They're all familiar faces.

Among them, I noticed TNT's Han Taehyun.

TNT.
