Without warning, a phone call connected the room to Kim Young-min's room.

After the tuner finished the first sentence, in the recording studio, Kim Taeyeon and Kim Hee-cheol, who were originally talking, gradually lowered their voices. At first, they didn't think there was anything wrong with the interruption of the recording. But at this time, seeing that the tuner actually called the president directly, the Jin Tuo brothers and sisters furrowed the same delicate eyebrows almost at the same time with the same amplitude.

The tuner, who held the phone to his ear, didn't look at the faces of anyone present, he just looked down at the ground. A whole face with an invisible breath pricking out of its nostrils.

"Inside, President Ni. Kim Tae-yeon Xi has just brought a stranger to the studio, and we won't be able to do normal recording. As you know, SJ's follow-up albums are of pretty good quality, and I don't want anything to go wrong with the recordings. ”

"Zhenyingxi, what are you doing now? Didn't you say that Seung-woo is Taeyeon's father-in-law? As for the online line, you still call the president? Or do you think Taeyeon's relatives are ready to plagiarize our songs with a voice recorder? ”

Kim Hee-cheol's words hardly had any twists and turns. He is really still exactly the same as the one on TV. No matter what you do, it's straightforward and no taboos.

The tuner, who seems to have been stalked by Kim Hee-cheol more than once, heard this. The corners of his mouth twitched. However, the amplitude of this action is very small, and he knows that he is not an identity who can lose his temper with people casually.

Seeing that Xiche Oba decisively helped himself respond to a blow. Kim Taeyeon's originally hard eyebrows immediately unfolded softly. She lifted one cheek slightly, and staggered to face the tuner. There was a little bit of seriousness in his expression.

"Also, as I just introduced, Seungwoo is not only my friend, but also a very powerful MVPD. The songs recorded now are not without the possibility of being directed by him. ”

The dissatisfied responses of the two in succession hit the tuner's body, but his reaction was slightly different. At first, when Kim Hee-cheol spoke for me, his expression didn't change much. But immediately after hearing Kim Taeyeon's words, a sneer appeared on the corner of the tuner's mouth.

He didn't pay attention to the two Kim who were standing in front of him. Instead, he glanced at me through the gap between the two of them. The phone that is placed next to the ear remains connected.

"President Ni, if I'm not mistaken, did SJ's follow-up album this time invite the famous director Hong Won-gi to guide. The one who is here now also says that he is the director of the MV. He also seems to want to participate in the competition for filming rights. If Director Hong Yuanji hasn't decided yet, do you need to help you ask which studio Yoo Seung-woo's PD is located in? ”

A long string of words from the tuner's mouth floated through the closed room, and there was no deliberate cynicism in them. It just floats in the air in a matter-of-fact manner. Especially the question at the end, it's a mess of everyday life. But it is such an ordinary sentence, but it inexplicably makes everyone here have a feeling of pinprick on their skin.

Between the lines. The paradox exudes a large swath of contempt.

For such a word, you can't find a dirty word, but you don't have to think about it, you can detect the disdainful attitude. The eyebrows of the brothers and sisters of Jin Tuo and Bu. Immediate tension again. Even Kyuhyun, who was the first to sit back on the sofa with a relaxed expression, also had a change in expression. The brightness on his face. The speed of light fades. Honestly, for this number two tuner. Everyone only has work contact on weekdays. In his daily life, although he is not very popular, it is the first time that he has such a-for-tat confrontation as today. Or perhaps, this is a person who has been suppressed for a long time, and after encountering an opportunity to play on a topic, he will grasp it frantically without scruples, in order to release himself.

The seventh rule of social survival: If the big ant has been suppressed for a long time, it will choose to step on the small ant and fantasize about being an elephant by pleasure.

Compared to Kim Taeyeon and the others who have a much worse expression, my expression is much more normal. Because I can actually roughly understand the mentality of such a person, I am a little sad, and I don't have any other thoughts than to sigh. What's more, because what he said just now was said by Chong Kim Youngmin. So the needle he hid in those words seemed to me to be nothing more than a joke. After about five seconds, the big ant sitting in the leather seat three meters away from me should have a very dark complexion.

He was mocking me, saying that I, an unknown junior, dared to compete with Hong Yuanji's seniors for the filming rights of this MV. Actually, it's nothing, and if SM doesn't owe me, his sarcasm is understandable. But in this world, there are no ifs.

The exact time is seven seconds later...... After hearing those words and adding my name, Kim Young-min must have paused for some time. As an old elf, it didn't take him long to understand the key. Immediately afterward, I don't know exactly what he said. I just saw that the tuner's mouth grew slightly. He took a deep breath, and then his pupils wandered aimlessly in his sockets for a moment. Finally, the muscles on both sides of his nose twitched violently.

This is the power of power, the position of tuner, not too high nor too low, but just one sentence can completely kill him.

――――――――――――――

A slightly heavy closing sound sounded behind him, and the tuner finally reversed the recording time, opened the door and left. It wasn't slamming the door, he knew he couldn't slam the door again.

For the SJ crowd, it was clear that they didn't know the key to the tuner's sudden defeat. But Kim Tae-yeon's eyes changed slightly for a while, as if she had guessed something, but she didn't say a word. Instead, he sat down on the leather swivel chair, and after fiddling for a while, pressed the play button for some of the recorded sounds.

Audio tracks dance and change on the console's monitor. S&M's equipment is undoubtedly top-notch. In addition to the recording and player of the state-of-the-art sound effects, even the computer used to run the production software is imacmf886.

In a closed environment, there is hardly any attenuation of all the rhythms. This kind of listening enjoyment is probably only a little worse than listening to music with Sennheiser in-ear headphones.

The re-overflowing melody quickly swept away the previous oppressive atmosphere. Seeing that I was still standing at the doorway, Kyuhyun, whose expression had regained his clarity, got up and made way for me. He made a small gesture of please, I nodded in thanks, and then bent down to sit down.

Kim Hee-cheol, who had already recorded some of the songs, was very excited to talk to me as soon as he saw me sit down. But he paradoxically didn't ask me how I met Kim Taeyeon, which is a bit unreasonable. In my opinion, he always likes to ask more gossip questions, so he has a lot of secrets in the circle.

He didn't talk about other topics, but just talked to me very professionally about the current song. For me, a novice MV director, he is very admirable. While chatting, he even interspersed some of the feelings he felt when watching "lookatmenow", as well as the points he felt were shining.

The light-hearted conversation didn't last long, and Kim Tae-yeon's cell phone rang. The meeting in the conference room on the sixth floor seemed to have ended. Now, it's my turn.

I said hello to the SJ crowd, and the public relations representative Choi Si-won politely exchanged contact information with me. Then, leave the studio, enter the elevator, and climb one floor without looking up.

Exit the elevator, walk through the hallway, and knock on the door to the conference room.

The door opened, and I let Kim Taeyeon walk in the shadow behind me, and as for myself, my eyes were unusually calm, and there was no trace of nervousness in my steps, and there was no trembling in my legs.

The door axis rotates, and the meeting room is instantly visible. Sitting in the main seat is Kim Young-min, who does not need to be questioned. On his right-hand side is Li Xiuman, who is much kinder after the abdication. I don't know anything else. No, there was one, who seemed familiar, and he was sitting in the middle of the conference table. That's right, it's him, and he was the one who talked to me about hush money and comfort money in the first few times.

Keeping in mind the rules of social survival, I didn't swing my head around like a stunned green man after entering the door. I just fixed my head and shifted my gaze roughly to take in the crowd. There was a pause in his gaze as he passed the mid-level representative he knew well, but not for long. Looking back on those things now, I don't feel anything to be indignant about, just like I was at the beginning.

After surveying the room, I stuck out my tongue and moistened my lips. In order to discuss the incident in Tokyo, S&M's attitude of importance has been evident in terms of the number of people alone.

The secretary, who was standing at the doorway, saw me enter, so he made a gesture of invitation to the side of the table. On that side, that is, on the left, there was no one.

Sit down with Kim Tae-yeon, on the left hand side is President Kim, who is sitting on the main seat with a strong aura, and opposite is a cadre of S&M. Even Kim Taeyeon herself was so nervous that she pursed her lower lip because she hadn't experienced such a big battle in her usual life. I noticed her state sideways, and I just smiled lightly. Then he reached out and gently touched the backs of Kim Taeyeon's hands under the table.

This girl was obviously here to support me and tell me that she was not alone, but now she is nervous like a fool...... What a lovely guy.
