December 12, 2014, the third day after losing the little finger of his left hand, Haneda Airport, Tokyo. On the covered bridge of flight KE2710, there are three people walking side by side towards the boarding gate.

There were still 25 minutes to go, and everything seemed to be in perfect shape. The two on my left are holding their arms and talking about interesting things. As for me, I didn't get involved in their conversations, and I didn't look at them smiling with their mouths wide open. I just tilted my head sideways, brushing the tufts of dull hair on the top of their heads, skimming the transparent covered glass, and looking into the distance.

The gaze pierced through the glass of the covered bridge, and at the near end of the airport, a double-decker passenger plane A380 was parked. It was by far the largest flying machine ever in the history of mankind, and it lay still in front of me with countless eyes, and the roar of its engines was pleasant.

Skimming its wings, it moved on. At the distance, Tokyo stood like a jungle of steel, leaving a concrete image in my eyes. I looked into the distance for a long time, and before I reached the hatch, I withdrew my gaze. And the moment before entering the cabin, there is a last ray of sunlight, projected onto the glass of the covered bridge, and the blurred and mottled shadows seem to be especially suitable for emotion and memory.

The night the money was borrowed, nothing was happening. I spent 2,300 yen, went back to the hospital, and had another long sleep. When I woke up the next morning, a bowl of red bean porridge was waiting for me on the table.

After breakfast, I was a little busy ↘ ↘ ↘ with literature and literature ↘ during the day, and I ⊙⊕. The first was Jiang Xijun's call, and there was a rare hint of excitement in his voice, not because of anything else. It seems that just because of my music video, the hits on the lure tube exceeded 1.5 million.

Thirty hours. More than one and a half million clicks, honestly. It can't be too strong. Videos with click-through rates soaring faster than it can be embellished with the adjective "not less." But...... If you give a prefix of "music MV department", then this number is quite impressive. You must know that when "Gee" came out when I was young, the number of views for 30 hours was just over 2 million. This number, in this category of music MV, can already be regarded as very strong.

If the click-through rate on the lure tube is just a number, then Jiang Xijun's next words are real. I decided to this MV of mine.

Three major music source lists, one in real time! Naver 12-hour real-time hot search list! Newson Entertainment News Network gave the title: SPEED's new single is back strongly, and the cutting-edge director is affirmed by Zhao Xiuxian!

All the sweat, all the late nights, all the all, were affirmed by Kang Seok-jun's last words. He said: "When you come back, Director Cho so-hyun wants to see you." At the end of the sentence, I even felt my heart tremble violently. Despite the oxygen-carrying blood rushing through my veins, I felt a suffocating throbbing.

Cho so-hyun? The name is in front of the public. Perhaps not at all. But in the MV world, these three words are too loud. In South Korea, the older generation of music directors. That's how he was described, and in another twenty years, he would be another great fighter. Not because of anything else. Just relying on the few MVs he directed, he can already deserve this evaluation.

Fabulous. "Gangnam Style" with a click-through rate of more than 2 billion!

"Gentleman", which is a global hit with 700 million hits!

As well as more recently. "Little Apple", which is popular all over China and South Korea!

If the above three MVs can only show the heat on the data, but not the director's shooting techniques and abilities. Then the next few MVs can be said to be a stroke of genius.

f(x) "Pinocchio", "Shinye" "Sherlock", TVXQ "Incantation".

Each of these three MVs uses extremely novel shooting techniques, and even the treatment of lighting has a special meaning. The charts of the three major stations have basically been swept by these MVs.

Therefore, being personally affirmed by such an MV director who is at his peak, he even got the opportunity to get to know him. It was as if a light had come down from heaven to me.

From the beginning to the present, every ordeal endured, every injury, every drop of sweat, and every drop of blood seeped are not in vain. I've waited so long, and I've finally waited for the biggest return.

The first call from Jiang Xijun was very long, half an hour.

After talking about the music video, he lowered his tone slightly and asked me when I would buy a ticket. I pondered for a while and decided to buy a ticket back to Seoul the next day. At the same time, I was still the same, reflexively telling him to buy economy class, but I only reacted at the end, how could I sit in a cramped and noisy economy class with the two noisy ones.

After the ticket was confirmed, it was immediately followed by the audit of Sungkyunkwan University, and Kang Seok-jun said that he had already arranged it and would start to attend the audit on the 23rd. The ten days before that are considered a necessary rest time. As a matter of course, I protested against this. In my opinion, the problem of fingers is not a big problem, and it is more urgent to start learning early. But...... As soon as my protest came out, it was met with a strong bottoming out from Kang Seok-joon and Kim Tae-yeon.

Kang Seok-joon on the other end of the phone heard Kim Tae-yeon express the same dissatisfaction as himself, and paused for a moment, and then decisively dismissed my protest. The time for the entrance audit was finally set for the 23rd.

The dust has also settled on Sungkyunkwan University, and Kang Seok-jun said that he will meet and talk about other things when I go back. And just like that, I ended my first phone call the day before I left Tokyo.

After that, a second call came in at noon. The voice that came over on the airwaves was very soft, and it belonged to Xu Xian who was busy. She didn't call Kim Taeyeon or Lee Soon-gyu, but called me directly. On the phone, she greeted her roughly, and in her tone, there was a rather intimate atmosphere. The two who were originally sitting on both sides of the hospital bed, after hearing that it was Xu Xian who called, snatched the phone as a matter of course.

As a result, the phone call that was originally a greeting call was completely cut off after only three words with Xu Xian. Lee Soon-gyu held the phone and chattered happily with Seo Hyun.

The second call was hung up, and the room fell silent. The two who stayed on the side started to feel a little bored, and Lee Soon-gyu patted me on the shoulder and asked me if there were any good American dramas to watch. And then............ Then after half an hour of my recommendation with conspiracy, the American drama "The Walking Dead" spread out in front of their eyes.

In the first season of "The Walking Dead", the first few scenes are not too disgusting, and I don't understand the terrible two that I fooled, and I am watching them with relish.

While they were watching the TV series, the third call came in, the voice was beautiful and cold, but it was very pleasant, and it was obvious that it belonged to Zheng Xiujing. Since she promised to meet when she went back, her eyebrows have become much more lively. When she spoke, she began to like her sister and liked to dance with her eyebrows.

Twenty minutes passed quickly, and we just talked casually and didn't feel like we were talking too much. A minute before hanging up the phone, she asked me if her sister had called, and I pursed my mouth and thought for a while and said no.

After hearing this "no", there was no sound on the other end of the phone for thirty or forty seconds, and after a while, I heard her breathing deeply. "I called Ernie in the morning and she didn't seem to know anything...... After I told her what had happened, she was silent for a while, then said she understood, and hung up the phone. ”

Press the red virtual button, and the signal flying in the air disappears. The heads of the two people next to the bed are still together, and they have only seen half of "The Walking Dead" in the first episode of the first season.

I looked up at the ceiling with my phone and was stunned for a long time...... Why Zheng Xiuyan hasn't called yet, I don't know.

However, this doubt did not accumulate for long. Because, three minutes later, the phone call came one after another.

That's right, it's Jung so-yeon's.

When I received the call, I was not too surprised, and my tone was calm and even a little unusual. When she spoke, she was still the same as always, her voice was as clear as a spring, and she asked me, "Are you okay?" ”

As always, I replied that it was no big deal.

The greeting between the two of them progressed a little quickly, and after learning about the other party's recent situation, I pretended to change the conversation casually. "Taeyeon is right next to me, would you like to say a word?"

The abrupt words shifted, so that the phone was silent for an instant, but it seemed to realize that he should not be stunned and hesitate, and a warm "En" followed.

With that, I handed the phone to Kim Taeyeon, then got up and went to the bathroom.

When I came back, the phone had hung up, and I stared at Kim Taeyeon, who was watching the American drama again, for a long time, and finally noticed that the corners of her lips were slightly curled. (To be continued......)
