Superstar From Age 0 - Chapter 740
Chapter 740
Bluemoon.
They were a five-year-old boy group from Cocoa Entertainment, famous for their skills since their debut.
They had blossomed their talents with the single album [Bluemoon], which they collaborated with the actor Lee Seo-jun in their first year.
They had been active and popular ever since.
‘Of course, that was partly thanks to my ability.’
Lee Seo-jun smiled faintly as he recalled the time when he slapped the cheeks of the five members who asked him to give them some energy.
Of course, having the [(Good) Orchestra Conductor’s Connection] did not mean that everyone’s skills would improve.
If the performers and the conductor did not have the same mind, it would rather decrease their performance.
That was the special feature of this ability.
But it seemed that the minds of Bluemoon members were still well connected.
Boom!
Fireworks burst out from the stage. Bluemoon fans’ cheers echoed from all directions.
The blue light sticks swayed vigorously to the beat, and the people bounced on their seats as if they were about to stand up any moment.
As the fans were enthusiastic, the Bluemoon members who were showing off their amazing performance on the stage also felt excited. That was felt by Lee Seo-jun, who was connected to them as a ‘conductor’.
The five members ran around the stage with bright faces, as if they were puppies who met each other’s eyes.
They acted as if the rehearsal was nothing but a mere check of their movements.
‘…Are they distributing their stamina properly?’
Lee Seo-jun thought that they did not need to worry about the concert, since they were more experienced than him.
He decided to leave them alone and enjoy the concert, shaking his light stick.
He also glanced at Jason Moore, who was sitting next to him, from time to time.
He felt uneasy, since he was the one who brought him here. He wondered if Jason enjoyed the concert.
Jason was lightly shaking his light stick along with the songs that were playing.
He probably had a hard time understanding the Korean lyrics, but he seemed to know Bluemoon’s songs, as his light stick movements matched the rhythm perfectly.
He was relieved to see that he was enjoying himself.
Lee Seo-jun smiled and shook his light stick harder, cheering for Bluemoon’s stage.
After two stages passed, the Bluemoon members left the stage to change their outfits.
The concert hall became noisy with the fans who were sharing their impressions.
“Didn’t they look more awesome today?”
“That’s why they are called /concert-dols/!”
“/Direct-viewing/ is the best!!!”
“/I’m a fan-god…!/”
Lee Seo-jun laughed at the Korean words that he heard occasionally.
He felt unfamiliar to hear ‘concert-dols’ or ‘direct-viewing’ from the foreigners’ mouths, but he was also proud that Korean culture was influencing them.
He continued to enjoy Bluemoon’s first LA concert, taking short breaks from time to time.
Among Bluemoon’s songs, there were some calm ones. When those songs came out, the huge concert hall turned into a single instrument.
—-
Bluemoon’s songs continued.
The Bluemoon light sticks that changed into various colors by the central control device.
They moved like waves, creating ripples.
It was a breathtaking sight.
—-!!
But what was even more amazing was the people’s voices.
The whole concert hall was filled with the people’s voices.
The Bluemoon members who moved around the stage to see the fans closer also smiled widely.
The members who were not in their parts stretched out their microphones forward.
The fans’ voices grew louder with excitement.
Lee Seo-jun did the same.
He waved his sparkling light stick and sang along with the audience to Bluemoon’s songs.
He heard a faint laughter from Jason Moore, who was next to him.
The Bluemoon fans who were sitting in front of him were startled by the high-level singing skills and the sweet voice that came from behind.
Fortunately, they did not notice him thanks to the dark lights.
‘He would really love this…’
Lee Seo-jun thought as he sang.
The subject was the ‘Tree of Spirits’ who loved music.
Not only the singers, but also tens of thousands of people were singing together.
He could imagine the Tree of Spirits shaking its branches with joy somewhere.
‘He would use his mysterious ability generously and raise the level of the Orchestra Conductor’s Connection.’
Then Lee Seo-jun would be surprised and annoyed again.
But it was okay.
Lee Seo-jun grinned and assured himself.
The level would not go up.
Because it was not the ‘first’ time that the [(Good) Orchestra Conductor’s Connection] experienced this situation.
‘He must have experienced it many times at the concerts of Brown Black and Bluemoon.’
Korean group singing is the best!
When it comes to group singing, Korea is the best, isn’t it?
He had already experienced this situation many times, so there was no way to gain more experience.
Hehe.
He thought of the Tree of Spirits who would sigh with disappointment, and he shook his light stick happily.
***
The enjoyable Bluemoon concert was heading towards the end.
While Bluemoon and the fans were saying goodbye with full of regret, Lee Seo-jun and Jason Moore whispered quietly.
“How was it, Jason?”
“It was okay.”
Oh.
That was a good evaluation.
He had to tell the Bluemoon members later.
A world-class violinist said ‘it was okay’. They would hear that and go ‘crazy…!’ and jump around. Lee Seo-jun chuckled as he imagined the Bluemoon members’ reactions.
“Their voices were perfectly matched, and it felt like an orchestra.”
He flinched.
Lee Seo-jun looked at Jason Moore with shaky eyes.
Jason Moore did not seem to notice Lee Seo-jun’s gaze, or he pretended not to. He sipped some water and continued his impressions.
He was sweating a little, probably because of the hot atmosphere of the concert hall.
“They were only five, so it was not really an orchestra, but they did not try to stand out from each other. They adjusted their voices to match the quality of the song. It was as if they were being conducted by a conductor. It must have been hard to match their voices so perfectly with the people’s voices at the concert, not at the practice. They were amazing.”
Indeed.
‘He is a music genius who breaks even the ability…’
He knew that was not true.
‘But maybe Jason has this ability too.’
He had a reasonable doubt.
“But it did not suit them.”
“What?”
Lee Seo-jun blinked at Jason Moore’s words. Jason Moore smiled faintly.
“This is not an orchestra, but pop. It’s a concert. They don’t need to be perfect. They should enjoy the stage, like you said.”
Lee Seo-jun nodded.
That was true.
The Brown Black hyungs also eventually got out of the [(Good) Orchestra Conductor’s Connection] and continued their awesome activities.
Lee Seo-jun looked at the stage.
He saw the Bluemoon members who were preparing for the last encore song.
‘But it seemed like they didn’t know…’
Unlike Brown Black, who felt frustrated and trapped, Blue Moon seemed completely oblivious.
‘Should I deactivate the ability now?’
Maybe it would be better to wait until they felt the wall themselves.
Seo Jun, who was thinking about this, suddenly realized something.
‘The grades are different!’
The situation of Brown Black and Blue Moon was totally different.
Brown Black had a ‘low-grade’ ability, while Blue Moon had a ‘mid-high-grade’ ability.
Brown Black, who used a weak ‘low-grade’ ability, could quickly feel the frustration and the wall, but Blue Moon, who had a strong ‘mid-high-grade’ ability, would take a long time to feel the frustration and the wall.
‘Maybe it would have taken them a lifetime…’
Seo Jun let out a light sigh.
‘I’m glad they found out now.’
It was a bit funny to say that, but it was time to leave.
“Thank you, Jason.”
“For what?”
“For coming with me today.”
Jason Moore smiled and said.
“I had fun, too. It was a different genre from the concert, but it felt like an orchestra, which was amazing. And the /sing-along/? That was interesting, too. You can’t do that at a concert.”
“Haha.”
Seo Jun laughed at Jason Moore’s words, who was a violinist who could never experience a /sing-along/.
[This is the last song of the encore.]
The fans sighed in disappointment at the voice of Blue Moon’s leader, Choi Jae Won. They all wanted to stop the time, but it was impossible.
That’s how the last song of the encore started.
Fireworks exploded everywhere, and the instruments’ melodies that made the heart beat faster flowed from the speakers.
It was a rhythm that made it impossible to stay still.
At the same time, Seo Jun retracted [(Line) Orchestra Conductor’s Connection (Mid-High-Grade)].
Then, the numbers above the heads of the Blue Moon members disappeared.
…!
Blue Moon,
No,
Choi Jae Won, Kim Si Hoon, Baek Yi Hyun, Park I Deun, and Jeong Eun Sung noticed the change.
Something changed.
They didn’t know what it was, but it definitely changed.
They should have been flustered, but they were all five-year idols who had experienced many incidents and accidents. They calmly assessed the situation.
They looked at each other. Until a moment ago, they could read each other’s status no matter where they were on the stage, but this time, it took a little longer.
‘This is bad.’
They felt like their condition had worsened. But their bodies felt light. They had managed their stamina well.
‘Why?’
They exchanged puzzled glances with each other, trying to figure out the situation.
Then, they heard the music.
‘Our music.’
They heard their music.
Their heads, fingers, and feet moved to the familiar beat.
It was a song they had sung hundreds, thousands of times.
They had sung it at the concert just before.
But strangely enough, it sounded new.
Their hearts fluttered.
…Damn. I don’t know.
The five members of Blue Moon smiled and picked up their microphones.
Let’s just sing!
—-!!
As soon as they uttered the sound, they felt a thrilling sensation, as if they had stepped into a new world.
They felt a chill all over their bodies, as if goosebumps had risen.
Their hearts beat faster than ever, and it felt like their veins were pulsing with them.
The sound of their heartbeat filled their ears, but even in the midst of that,
They heard their voices,
Their members’ voices,
Their song.
…?
The fans who were waiting for the encore song with anticipation were about to sing along, but they stopped and stared at the stage with their mouths open.
The voices of Blue Moon, who never invaded each other’s territory in the official stage or the encore song, were mixed for the first time.
But they blended freely.
They bounced around, but they suited the song.
It was similar to the original, but their own characteristics were vividly alive.
The five members of Blue Moon showed their personalities, and a perfect stage began.
What the…!!
The Blue Moon fans finally came to their senses.
And they wondered. Should they sing along, or should they listen quietly and focus, since it was the first time they sang like this?
But they didn’t have time to think for long.
—-!!!
The main vocal, Choi Jae Won, raised his voice.
It was an ad-lib that made the fans’ hearts, who were already breathless, beat twice, three times, no, several times faster.
…Damn. I don’t know.
The fans gripped their light sticks tightly.
Let’s just enjoy!
—-!!!
And so, the concert hall was filled with the sound of Blue Moon’s song and the fans’ screams.
***
“/…Hehehe./”
“/…Ehehe./”
And what was left was Blue Moon, who had lost all their strength and were left with only skin.
The manager put a glucose candy in each of the members’ mouths, who couldn’t move a muscle, and said.
“/You should have managed your stamina better. What are you going to do about tomorrow’s concert?/”
“/…Maybe if we sleep well from now on, we can manage somehow?/”
“/You have to eat before you sleep./”
“/That makes me hungry./”
Gurgle-
At the sound, Seo Jun asked with a smile.
“/What do you want to eat?/”
The exhausted Blue Moon members jumped up and shouted out the menu.
They seemed to have recovered their stamina.
“/Was this so effective?/”
The manager looked at the glucose candy bag with a puzzled expression.
Seo Jun smiled softly, who had restored the stamina of the Blue Moon members with his line.
“/By the way, Seo Jun. Where is Jason?/”
At Park I Deun’s question, Seo Jun answered.
“/He’s in the next waiting room. He said he was inspired by the last encore stage of Blue Moon. He’ll be back after taking some notes./”
Wow…!
“/He was inspired by our stage…/”
“/But the encore stage was really good, even if we say so ourselves./”
At Baek Yi Hyun’s words, everyone nodded their heads with excited expressions.
The manager and the staff also agreed.
They had seen many stages of Blue Moon, but today’s encore stage was especially, special.
“/You did ad-libs, that was amazing./”
“/When did you practice?/”
Jeong Eun Sung answered.
“/We didn’t practice. We just felt like we could do it, so we tried./”
“/Me too!/”
“/Ugh. I still feel my heart pounding when I think about it./”
At Kim Si Hoon’s fuss, everyone laughed.
A little later.
Jason Moore, who had taken notes of the melody he had thought of, came back, and they all moved to have dinner.
“What were you thinking when you sang the encore song?”
“Uh… Well… We just thought, let’s just sing?”
The Blue Moon members answered nervously to Jason Moore, who asked while eating dinner.
Seo Jun laughed.
He was just asking, but he looked serious and scary.
That’s how the conversation about the encore stage of Blue Moon continued until the dessert time (Jason paid for it).
