Chapter 5

Blue Tiger, real name Lim Hyun-soo.

A composer genius, a solid ability that doesn't let go of basic skills while keeping up with the trend. In addition, recently, I reached out to the lyrics, and the reputation has increased even more with sensible lyrics.

With the walking box office guarantee check, the money is piling up in the bankbook, but...

'What the fuck is that important.'

Now she wasn't feeling well.

She was writing the next comeback title song of the top girl group White Cherry, which is not only famous in Korea but also in the United States.

But it was keeps frustrating her because it doesn't come out that she like.

Whenever this happened, Lim Hyun-soo became extremely sensitive, so the studio staff started avoiding her.

But today why

"Hey, I told you not allowed outsiders to come in, right?"

An outsider is in the studio!

The staff shuddered and glanced at the man sitting in the studio lobby. The man who seems to be in his early 20s had a very sensitive impression of Lim Hyun-soo.

I wondered if the handsome man was a celebrity, but no matter how much I looked at it, I never remembered seeing it on TV.

" Hello . This is Seo Ho-yoon."

" Who ?"

"Seo Ho-yoon."

The man smiled shamelessly and said hello. The staff was shaking.

She never heard of him or seen him.

Lim Hyun-soo looked at him coldly and turned to the staff.

"Get him out of here."

"Yes, yes."

"Can I have a word with you for a moment?"

Where were you going? I turned to Lim Hyeonsu and spoke to her, grabbing her attention. She looked at me irritably.

" Yes , I know So I won't take my time for a long time."

"So, I don't even have that time."

Lim Hyun-soo's temper is bad. I looked at the system window floating on Lim Hyun-soo.

[Lim Hyun-soo, genius composer.

Sometimes she also write lyrics.

Note: The temper is very very very bad.]

I know that too. I've worked with Lim Hyun-soo several times, but don't you know that? It's not once or twice that I've been cursed by her for making a mistake.

When I saw Lim Hyun-soo, she was disgusted and looking up and down at me from head to toe, I guess she really didn't seem to remember. I realised that I really came into the game, and I tightly held the shopping bag I brought.

I hand out the shopping bag.

"What is this?"

Lim Hyun-soo was embarrassed by the shopping bag that popped out. I didn't miss the a second.

She was surprised .

"Composer, I heard you like this sake among Hokkaido sake. I recognised it and got it."

" ? This.... It's hard to get it in Korea."

Hyun-soo took out the sake from inside the shopping bag and turned around. I could see that the her face was very favourable even if I didn't spit it out of my mouth.

Yeah you should cause It was hard to get.

Hyun-soo was wary of me, but she accepted the gift. I felt like I didn't like it because I wanted to ask for this as an excuse.

"Why are you giving this?"

"Composer , I took the liberty of a sudden visit... I need to prepare something trivial like this."

" hmmmm ."

I smiled softly, widening my mouth. It was my usual sales style. Lim Hyun-soo was worried about whether Sake was working or not, so he glanced at the sake and sat down in the lobby.

"You must have had a hard time getting it, but it's rude for me to let you leave like this. I can give you for about five minutes."

"Thank you ."

It's done .Atleast The beginning.

"So why did you come to me? I mean...."

"I am Seo Ho-yoon."

"Yes, Mr. Seo Ho-yoon. What are you doing?"

Yes, I thought this question would come up.

"I am an idol. I'm preparing for a comeback now."

Huh, Lim Hyun-soo laughed.

"Yeah, idol...."

There was a subtle ridicule in the way she was wary of who I was. It's not just one or two people who came here so suddenly.

Lim Hyun-soo was a box office guarantee check. There are a lot of idols who are anxious to hold on to her leg once.

"Seo Ho-yoon. I've never heard of it."

"It's a new project , and it's an actor management agency, so there's only a few idols. I think it's natural that the composer has never heard of it."

"Yeah, that's a lot of work."

That's what I said, but Lim Hyun-soo was already ignoring me. Lim Hyun-soo, who slowly braided her legs, looked at me.

"So why did you come to me?"

Anyway, Lim Hyun-soo, I like coming straight to the point.

I laughed

"I'd like to ask you a song."

"Hahaha!"

Lim Hyun-soo laughed. It's a reaction that doesn't deviate from expectations. I silently waited for her laughter to stop.

"By the way, idols are amazing these days. Neither the manager nor the organiser is contacting me, but they comes straight...."

"It's not that the composer's song is so attractive."

"Hey, Mr. Seo Ho-yoon. I know what kind of delusions are you in my head. Do you think you can be famous by clinging on to me ? You're not the only one who comes to me like this."

I was just listening to it quietly. Lim Hyun-soo stood up, bouncing his nails as if it was a waste of time.

"You've watched too many dramas. I'll be leaving now."

This is the expected reaction so far. However, Lim Hyun-soo will not be able to expected it in the future.

"Would you like a drink?"

" what ? With me?"

"No. This is the name of the composer's song."

I'm not asking Lim Hyun-soo for a drink because I'm suddenly crazy.

'I want to have a drink.', this is the song that Lim Hyun-soo dominated the chart a year ago. It was a good melody development with a good beat but I was told that he was a composer genius Lim Hyun-soo, who took first place.

But not in reality.

"Let's go to the moon."

"Huh, why is that..."

"Between you and me, let's stop now, be the monster, etc...."

I kept murmuring. People who hear it for the first time will wonder what it is. And if it wasn't for Lim Hyun-soo and me, I wouldn't be able to understand.

However, Lim Hyun-soo's complexion was getting pale.

"There are three things these songs have in common. One is that it's all Blue Tiger, composer Lim Hyun-soo's song. The second is that every songs has reached up to number five on the charts."

And I lifted my third finger.

"Finally, they are manipulated to achieve high ranking "

" What are you talking about "

Gosh, Lim Hyun-soo is trying to deny it.

"Huh, what a bullshit that came of out by coming here all of a sudden...."

I took out the tablet. Really, really fortunately, apart from my saved file that flew away, there was some data left. I smiled at her.

"This is the account transaction history of the singer, or the organiser and the storage broker. Oh my gosh Sometimes they even have a direct deal with the composer."

Lim Hyun-soo accepted this with his trembling hand. And she immediately gritted her teeth.

"How do you have this?"

Lim Hyun-soo asked quietly. It was a sign of acknowledging it in its own way.

"Ay, is that important."

"Ha, haha.... You are amazing . Do any of your relatives have a job as reporters?"

Lim Hyun-soo raised one corner of her mouth while frowning. It looks like she still seem unfazed. She stared at me for a long time.

"Why did you manipulate , you were genius."

"… So what?"

I shrugged.

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"…"

"I just had bad luck."

"Oh, you are coming out stronger than I thought."

I looked at her with my hand resting on my chin.

"I'll admit that you're a big deal. I don't know how you recognised this..., but manipulating ? I don't even know how to do it, and even if it's real, it's not that big of a blow to me."

She shamelessly raised her head.

"How many singers come out shamelessly even after being admitted to manipulate? Do you think I'll be the problem there?"

Then Lim Hyun-soo looked around to see if I was recording. When she realised it wasn't, she shook her hand.

"Just get out. Don't act like you are tired."

"Hm, What should I do ? I want to act more tired."

" What ?

Let's listen to Korean until the end.

"I wonder if I should brought up that one."

Lim Hyun-soo stopped at my words, her face hardened immediately.

"Come on , Flip the tablet screen."

"…."

"Hurry up."

I gestured to her with a friendly smile. Lim Hyeonsu hesitated but couldn't resist her curiosity and flipped the tablet. A piece of music began to play.

It was a song from a male idol that topped the charts last year. A Blue Tiger composition.

"This song was really well done."

I just said that, but Lim Hyeonsu slammed the tablet on the desk. It looked like it was thrown away like a piece of junk that had been used for about ten years. She really didn't know the value of money.

"My tablet."

"You, F-fuck… How did you…?"

Lim Hyun-soo's face became pale. I looked at her with pleasure.

"How do you have this?!"

The song that came out of the tablet earlier wasn't a song by Blue Tiger.

"It was composed by an unnamed indie band guitarist."

It is

Lim Hyun-soo plagiarised.

"You, you...!"

"You've met the composer at a few drinking parties. Was it Hapjeong? I think you met two or three times at your izakaya and even took the USB from him as well."

When I talked as if I was there, Lim Hyun-soo trembled as if she was seeing a ghost.

"Music manipulation , yes.... As if it's no big deal, it can pass like it's been caught up."

…"

"But what about plagiarism? As soon as this goes out into the world, people will know it's not an original unless they're completely clueless. Then everyone will speak up."

"Stop it."

I clapped my hands.

"Ah, Blue Tiger plagiarized!"

Lim Hyeonsu glared at me as if she could strangle me at any moment.

Ah, I feel so proud.

I didn't know that my investigative program would come back so rewarding. Fortunately, I was in charge of assisting with producing a program about music manipulation. And it was also fortunate that Lim Hyeonsu was still alive in my reality!

[Are you trash?]

'Don't spoil the atmosphere.'

This is an opportunity for God to send me to blackmail Lim Hyun-soo, who is shaking without knowing anything in front of me.

[Hey, is there someone else who was plagiarised?]

I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry too.

I lowered my eyebrows as if it was really sad. I chose only words to gently annoy Lim Hyun-soo on purpose.

"What should I do, our composer. I heard you're working on a white cherry song now. And do some ballad songs.... If there is a plagiarism controversy, you will be fined a lot of penalty."

Now, what kind of reaction I will see.

Will you yell at me to get out right now? Or Will she pretend to tough and urged me to release it? Or Will

you going to strangle me?

Either way, it doesn't matter. But the last one was a bit scary, so let's call the police if that happens to me.

No, I knew Lim Hyeonsu well.

I spoke gently and even imitated her by flicking my nails as she had done to me earlier.

"You suddenly became quiet…."

Three.

"Should I go now?"

Two.

"You must be very busy."

One.

I was about to stand up when Hyeonsu grabbed my arm.

"Just a moment."

"Yes?"

"What do you want?"

Ah, this is why I liked her.

She adapted quickly to reality. I chuckled.

"Oh, Ms. Composer, you're trying to take advantage of me. Do I have to spoon-feed you the answer?"

"…"

You should think for yourself, right?

Ding!

[Seo Hoyun, are you the devil?]

I was pissed off because my tablet was broken, so I hit it once.
