Chapter 17: CAN YOU SUPPORT THIS BROTHER?
HANEUL sang the final note as he struck the last guitar chord. He looked at his younger sister to ask her opinion. "What do you think?"@@@@
Haeun didn't speak immediately. Instead, she had a blank expression, as if she was in utter shock and just didn't know what to say. And in a way, that was indeed the case.
She knew that her brother had a good voice. The other would sing in his room while playing the guitar, or whenever the two of them were the only ones at home. She would sometimes watch and listen to him singing.
She had always felt that it's such a waste that other people weren't able to hear her brother's wonderful voice. Because of the other's personality, he was satisfied with just singing in his room or with just her as an audience. Their own parents probably had no idea that their son had this amazing talent.
"It's good... no- it's the best!" she said, answering her brother's question belatedly. "What song was that? It's the first time I heard of it. Did you compose it?"
"No, I'm not that talented. I just rearranged it acoustically," he said with a chuckle. "It's a song released 15 years ago by Supernova."
"Supernova? Aren't they an idol group? Wow! I thought it was a song by a solo singer or something," Haeun said, fully impressed.
"You might have actually heard of the song since it's quite popular. But since the original is a hip-hop, R&B song, the acoustic version I just sang might be unfamiliar to you," Haneul explained.
Haeun was once again amazed. 'Crazy, Oppa turned a hip-hop song into that?'
Then Haneul asked. "So, you really think it's good?"
Haeun tilted her head. Did she hear that right? Was she having an auditory hallucination? "...Oppa, did you really just say you're going to a public audition?"
Haneul nodded. "Vnet is holding a public audition next week, and I plan to participate. The song you heard just now is my audition piece."
Haeun suddenly felt dizzy. Her brain was trying to make sense of what her brother said, but no matter how much she tried, it just didn't make sense. "No, wait, wait--! Oppa! What kind of public audition...? Shouldn't you at least take your time? Like do things slowly but surely? Why are you suddenly going to a public audition? And it's next week!"
"Haeun-ah, calm down," Haneul tried to calm down his sister, who was obviously shocked by his announcement. "Since I decided to do this, I want to go all out. To do it on the biggest stage I could. That way, even if I failed, I won't have any regrets. Because I know that I did my best."
Haeun had a lot of things she wanted to say in response to that. About him being a newly manifested Omega, how it could be dangerous for him to be in such a crowded place. And what if he passed? Which she had no doubt he would. Then that would be another set of problem.
Despite her numerous complaints, she found herself unable to voice any of them. Especially since her brother was looking at her with those big puppy eyes.
"Can you support this brother, Haeun-ah?"
And that was the last straw. How could she possibly say 'no' to that?
"Of course I will support you! Who am I? I'm Kang Haeun, Kang Haneul's biggest fan!"
Haneul finally couldn't stop the joyful laughter that escaped his lips.
