My Daughter is a Music Genius

77

“hello. Seong-hyeon.”

“uh? hello.”

I thought it would be complicated to go by bus or subway, so I took a taxi on purpose, but I guess I was waiting in the car when I arrived.

As soon as we got out of the taxi, Yoo Jae-gyun, Jeong Mi-won, and Young-jun approached me.

Yeongjun ran up to the door and said hello to Chaeyun, and then bowed his head to Seonghyeon Jo.

“hello. mister.”

“Hello, Yeongjun? How have you been?”

In response to Jo Sung-hyun’s greeting, Yeong-jun nodded in response.

The child’s nerves went to Chae-yoon.

Cho Sung-hyun, who shed a smirk, walked with the children and headed to the ticket office.

After receiving your ticket.

“Should I wash my hands here first?”

You can even touch the animals yourself, so there are signs all over the place asking you to wash your hands before entering.

There is also a footrest, so it was not inconvenient for small children to wash their hands.

After confirming that Chae-yoon was washing his hands well, Jo Seong-hyeon also washed his hands and headed to the inside of the zoo.

As soon as we entered the zoo, which occupied an entire two-story building, there was a large cage.

You can see rabbits and kittens running around together.

“Wow! It’s a rabbit!”

Young-jun shouted, and Chae-yoon raised his arms with a bright face, probably excited.

“rabbit!”

The child shouted and walked away.

The rabbit pen was high enough to the children’s waist, with a low fence.

There was a door on one side to get in.

Be careful not to let rabbits and cats come out. There was a notice attached to it.

It was the first time for Jo Seong-hyeon to be in a place like this, so it was amazing.

I was also worried that cats and rabbits would bite the children.

‘Kids are more likely to injure rabbits and cats, though.’

Jo Sung-hyun thought to himself, and moved to the direction Chae-yoon and Young-jun ran.

The children waited for Jo Seong-hyeon and Yoo Jae-gyun at the door because they wanted to enter the cage with rabbits and cats.

The figure of Chaeyoon looking at herself with her eyes wide open as if asking for it to be opened quickly.

Jo Seong-hyeon smirked and smirked.

Those dazzling eyes usually come out when your favorite food is in front of you… .

‘Looks like you really wanted to get in.’

Jo Sung-hyun smiled and opened the door.

Chae-yoon takes Seong-hyun’s hand and enters the cage.

There are dozens of rabbits and three or four kittens.

What’s so good, Chaeyoon chuckled as soon as she entered the cage.

“Would you like to touch it?”

“Hey… .”

Chaeyoon narrowed her brow as she made a sound of the wind falling.

The child carefully reached out to the rabbit.

The rabbit jumps and runs away and goes somewhere else.

“Hey.”

Chae-yoon took a step back in surprise.

Because the child was about to fall, Jo Sung-hyeon grabbed Chae-yoon’s back and straightened her back.

He caught it, so Chae-yoon couldn’t fall.

But Yeongjun was a different story.

Young-jun was not surprised by the rabbit, but looking at the surprised Chae-yoon, he laughed and tripped over his feet.

Young-jun’s face, which had fallen and jumped up to his feet, was flushed with embarrassment.

“Oh, didn’t you?”

Chae-yoon asked Young-jun with a worried face.

Youngjun nodded his head.

“Uh, I don’t get sick of this.”

“If you fall again and get sick, Chae-yoon will help you!”

said the child.

Jo Sung-hyun’s face hardened subtly.

What he had just heard, he had to doubt his ears.

If you fall and get sick, will you call me?

to Youngjun?

“It’s not hard. where… .”

Jo Sung-hyeon looked at Young-jun while muttering like that, but Young-jun had a slightly regretful face.

It’s not painful, but it’s a face that would rather say it hurts.

Jo Seong-hyeon did not like the expression on his face, which clearly showed his insides.

It’s cute and I’m really grateful that I like Chaeyoon… is terribly concerned

He’s still just a kid, but maybe it’s because he’s a boy, but it’s a bit of a boundary.

Fortunately, Chae-yoon quickly got used to the rabbits.

The child carefully reached out to the rabbit, and even if the rabbit jumped again, she could take a step closer and pat her on the back without surprise.

“soft… .”

Chaeyoon continued to stroke the rabbit with a possessed face.

The rabbit did not run away even though Chaeyoon was petting him, but turned around and pushed his face toward Chaeyoon.

Chaeyoon looked at the rabbit and gently stroked it, then opened her mouth.

“Would you like me to touch you?”

Jo Sung-hyun thought he was talking to him at first and turned his head to the child, but the child was trying to talk to the rabbit.

“Chae-yoon likes it when her dad does it like this.”

“… … .”

“It’s nice to hug Dad. Will Chae Yoon give me a hug?”

After saying that, Chaeyoon stretched out her arms towards the rabbit.

Hold the rabbit full of both hands, make the rabbit lean on its arms, and then carefully get up.

The child had a hard time even getting up.

In the end, only after Jo Sung-hyeon supported Chae-yun’s arm was the child able to get up.

“Seonghyun.”

At the voice calling out to him, Jo Sung-hyun turned his head.

Jeong Mi-won was holding a smartphone and showing a gesture asking him to move to the side.

It looks like Chae-yoon is about to take a picture holding a rabbit.

Jo Seong-hyeon took a quick step back and made Jung Mi-won easier to take pictures.

“Wow, it came out so well. I will send it to you later.”

“thank you.”

After Jo Sung-hyun smiled and thanked Jeong Mi-won, I looked back at Young-jun and Chae-yoon, who were having fun.

Young-jun slowly approached and was stroking the rabbit that Chae-yoon was holding.

Chae-yoon, who was holding the rabbit for a while, hands the rabbit to Yeong-jun.

The rabbit struggled for a while, but luckily, he was put in Yeongjun’s arms.

Yeongjun looked down at the rabbit in wonder.

Jung Mi-won also filmed that scene.

Jo Seong-hyeon left her seat so that she could take a good picture, and in the end, Jeong Mi-won started playing with the children in the rabbit cage.

Jo Sung-hyun and Yoo Jae-gyun sneaked out and talked while watching the situation outside the cage.

“Congratulations to Chaeyoon who passed the preliminary round.”

“Thank you. Thank you for recommending Mozart Piano Sonata No. 16.”

“haha. no. It’s because the qualifiers were really formal. Have you decided on a song to be performed in the finals?”

“There were candidates, but I still haven’t decided which song would be good. I also heard it from Chaeyoon, but she said that there is no particular song that I want to do.”

“Well… It’s good to try all the songs presented there once and think about it. There are things that you don’t know just by listening.”

Yoo Jae-gyun gave advice while looking at Chae-yoon smiling.

He seemed to think for a moment before continuing.

“I’m not a piano expert, but when Chaeyoon listened to the piano, even briefly… To be honest, I don’t think Chae-yoon plays the piano in a very formal way.”

“Formally?”

“So… It fits the frame.”

Jo Sung-hyun blinked at Yoo Jae-gyun’s words.

What does it mean to say that it doesn’t sound like you’re playing the piano according to the frame?

Does the piano have a frame?

Of course, there are some basic rules to follow while playing the piano.

But it didn’t seem like the rules Yoo Jae-gyun was talking about now.

“Why is there such a thing? It was created because everyone has been doing this until now, but Chaeyoon didn’t have that.”

“ah… Is it bad?”

“If you just play the piano, it’s never a bad thing. Perhaps it is an opportunity for a completely new interpretation to emerge. But, this is not just a place to play the piano.”

“Well… .”

“It’s basically a contest, so there are things that we need to protect more. It’s good to play the piano freely as you like, but it’s hard to get good results in competitions if you do that.”

I know what Jaekyun Yoo is trying to say.

As Jo Seong-hyeon is not a classical musician, I can’t understand it musically, but anyway, there are basically set rules, and Chae-yoon doesn’t play according to them.

And that kind of performance is hard to get high marks in competitions.

“understand. I want a slightly textbook performance… Is it like this?”

Honestly, I don’t understand.

For Jo Sung-hyun, I liked Chae-yoon’s free piano the most.

Of course, it could be because it’s just his daughter’s performance, but… .

I also wondered why I would listen to Mozart’s albums and listen to other pianists playing if I liked textbook performances.

His thoughts may be short, but in any case, Cho Seong-hyeon preferred free performances rather than formal performances.

But in the end, the contest is like a test.

As Jaekyun Yoo said, a performance with a clear frame is more likely to get a better score.

“Ah yes. Yes. It feels like a textbook.”

“I will take note. thank you.”

Jo Sung-hyun answered with a smile.

Well, I’m just going to keep that in mind.

Because he didn’t want Chae-yoon to play textbook-style.

I just wish Chaeyoon could play the way she wanted.

If the child wants to play textbook-style, he does, and if not, you don’t have to worry about it at all.

Seong-hyeon Jo sincerely thought so.

Do you think it will be difficult to get good results in the contest?

Then you just have to accept it.

That Chae-yoon’s performance did not match the contest.

From the child’s point of view, there was no regret at all.

Even now, Chaeyoon did not take the contest very seriously.

Playing the piano with Jo Sung-hyun. I was taking it that way, and Chaeyoon was enjoying it, of course, but… Even if I couldn’t do it, it wouldn’t have caused any major problems in my life.

“It’s a pig!”

Chae-yoon, who had been playing in the rabbit cage for a while, came out of the cage with Jeong Mi-won and looked around the other animals, found a pig on one side and shouted.

The pig, fortunately, was smaller than Jo Seong-hyeon had thought.

A pig the size of Chae-yoon was cuter than I thought, and Chae-yoon often walked towards the pig.

The pigs were with the guinea pigs, and they could enter there as well.

Chae-yoon entered the cage and carefully stabbed the pig.

“Hey haha.”

The child burst out laughing happily at what was so good.

Jo Sung-hyun smiled quietly as he watched the child laugh happily.

If the child is happy, that’s it.

There was no need to conflict between the textbook piano and Chaeyun’s free piano.

Jo Sung-hyun just wants Chae-yoon to have fun playing the piano.

he.

I just wanted to keep seeing that happy smile of the child.
