Chapter 14: HOW HE LEARNED TO SING
HANEUL could still vividly remember the day he started taking vocal lessons. It was just a week after his mother enrolled him in an academy specializing in teaching how to play a guitar. Since the academy was close to his school, he only had to walk there after his classes in the afternoon ended.
Most of his classmates were either attending tutoring or something related to sports. He's probably the only one in his class going to the academy he's attending now. But that's alright. It's not like he was close to any of his classmates, anyway. Besides, if a classmate of his went to the same academy, he probably wouldn't have that much fun.
It's not like he was being bullied. Fortunately, most fourth-grade students still had a pure and innocent heart. So, even though he was always alone because he's too shy to play with the other kids, no one thought he was strange.
That day, Haneul thought it would be the same as the previous days. He didn't expect that a change would occur that would help him hone a gift he didn't know he even had.
=====
Ten-year-old Haneul opened the door to the private lesson room. He sat down on the provided chair and patiently waited. His teacher was never late, so she would probably arrive in a few minutes.
Haneul really liked his guitar teacher. She was very gentle and patient with him. That's why learning from her had been very fun for Haneul. He even wished that all the teachers in his elementary school were just as kind as his guitar teacher.
When he heard the doorknob turning, he stood up and prepared to greet his teacher. But to his shock, the one who walked inside the room was not the teacher he's expecting.
It was a man with messy hair wearing wrinkled clothed and slippers. He looked like one of those uncles who lived on the streets. Haneul's eyes widened, and he instinctively took a step back.
That uncle, he introduced himself as Teacher Noh. The next day after that first meeting, the other suddenly became his teacher. He was very scared at first. He even considered not attending the academy anymore. But once he thought of the tuition that his parents paid for him, he gritted his teeth and continued attending.
The initial fear didn't even last for a week. Instead, he felt excited to learn more. Because Teacher Noh not only taught him how to play the guitar but also the basics of singing.
From proper breathing, to pitch and intonation, and to vocal techniques. He learned everything from Teacher Noh. The other taught him for a year. And then, Teacher Noh suddenly resigned.
It just so happened that the tuition fee his parents paid to the academy was for only a year. So, when Teacher Noh resigned, he also decided not to return to the academy. Because at that time, in his childish heart, Teacher Noh was his only music teacher. Even if the other suddenly left and didn't even say goodbye to him.
Anyway, as a result of what he learned from the other, he gained a certain level of confidence in his vocal abilities. So, for the incoming public audition, he decided to choose a song that would highlight all the best aspects of his voice.
Even if he didn't dance, his voice would make up for it. And this face that was sprinkled with unwarranted seductive charm by Yeomra would play a huge role as well.
Haneul glanced at the guitar case placed on the side of his hospital's bed. His younger sister brought it to him yesterday when he asked her to.
After deciding to audition for Boys Odyssey, he spent days pondering which song to choose. He considered many options, but struggled to make a final decision. Finally, after several days of deliberation, he settled on the song he would perform for the audition.
