I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor - Chapter 233
I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 233
(Growth (6))
When Kang Woo-jin first talked to Asami Yusako, who was his biggest fan and at the same time dreamed of becoming a voice actor.
I already knew it then.
‘Is there a work you like?’
‘ah! I said, ‘Howl is the Moving Castle!’
OST of the world-famous animation ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’. In other words, he knows the song ‘Merry-Go-Round of Life’. You can play it on the piano right now. It wasn’t just the ‘carousel of life’. Another famous OST score from ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’ immediately popped into Kang Woo-jin’s mind.
It was 100% due to my acquired piano skills.
Of course, Woojin had heard the OST of ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’ but had never seen the score. Still, it’s clear. As if he had played on the piano thousands of times.
My fingers were itching.
It was next that Kang Woo-jin discovered the white piano in the restaurant. Restaurant staff working busily among the many customers chatting and tasting food in a huge restaurant.
A piano majestically placed in the middle.
‘Something makes me tick?’
The white piano looked expensive at first glance and was shiny. His appearance alone caught my eye, and since there was no master playing, it seemed as if he was telling Woojin to sit down.
So, is that piano playable?
To be honest, Woojin thought at first that the white piano was for the restaurant’s style. Is it by any chance Deco? Kang Woo-jin asked the female employee guiding him in low Japanese.
“Is that piano for ornamental use?”
The female employee stuttered shyly, probably seeing the actor for the first time.
“Oh no. It’s empty because it’s not time right now. “The pianist will come and play in a little while.”
There is a pianist who always comes. It means that it is not time to play yet. So Kang Woo-jin sat in the seat where the ‘unfamiliar parasites’ were. The actors welcomed him and asked him many questions, but Woojin’s eyes were simply focused on the piano in the center of the restaurant.
‘I’m worried.’
I wouldn’t have noticed it if it wasn’t there, but I kept looking at the piano in front of me. A few days ago, the piano in the high school music room that was the filming location for ‘Familiar’ came to mind. Then Woojin muttered softly as if he was talking to himself. Of course, inside.
‘Shall I try it?’
It was a very simple idea. Moderate curiosity and attention. That white piano looked to be in very good condition. Unlike the piano in the music room, it will produce a smooth sound. Moreover, Kang Woo-jin did not have many opportunities to play the piano.
However, if you play the piano here, whether it’s a mistake or a misunderstanding, it’s annoying.
So what?
What do you think? It was a fact that Kang Woo-jin knew well, but it was not a big deal. You’ve already come this far, right? Before long, the area around Woojin was a swamp of illusion. The weight of the swamp just got a little higher.
-Sigh.
Woojin saw Asami Yusako, a girl sitting near the entrance who overlapped with his younger sister, Kang Hyun-ah. I was happily talking with my family. Of course, ‘Merry-Go-Round of Life’ would be a good song. Because it is the most famous and popular among the OSTs of her favorite works. In addition to supporting the girl’s dream, it also served as a birthday present. In fact, for Woojin, it was an action closer to sincerity rather than fan service.
In other words, it wasn’t calculated.
He then turned his attention to Director Kyotaro sitting across from him.
‘Now that I think about it, the director also asked me to play the piano.’
It was truly killing two birds with one stone. Kang Woo-jin stood up without moving backwards. Even though the concept has a strong ‘Nopaku’ flavor, Kang Woo-jin’s personality was originally a character who didn’t worry too much. Tomorrow is tomorrow. If a problem arises, then it happens.
I asked an employee who appeared to be the restaurant manager and he said it was okay to hit him.
“Are you going to hit it yourself, Kang Woo-jin?”
“yes. Are you okay?”
“Sure. But do you have any experience playing the piano?”
“well. maybe?”
“yes?”
That was the piano melody that started like that. Kang Woo-jin calmly strikes the white and black keys.
-♬♪
The piano performance of ‘The Merry-Go-Round of Life’ spreads majestically throughout the restaurant. Naturally, the customers in the restaurant raise their heads one by one. To Kang Woo-jin sitting at the white piano. The contagion was fast. In just a few tens of seconds, all the guests’ eyes fell on Woojin.
The piano melody was too fantastic to ignore.
-♬♪
The melody that melts your ears easily surpasses the level of learning it takes one to two years to play. The guests were so absorbed that they fell in love with it without even realizing it.
“…Good.”
“Wow…you play well.”
“Hey, that’s great?”
Even the restaurant’s fifteen employees stopped working.
Yes, this restaurant is the only place in the world where time stops.
“……”
“……”
“……”
It started like that, but gradually a different atmosphere was formed. Who is it? Who is that black-haired man? Who is playing the piano? Dozens of customers were curious about the man playing the piano. Of course, I immediately recognized that it was Kang Woo-jin.
“That guy…Kang Woojin??”
“Kang Woo-jin? Didn’t you just come in and join the actors over there? “It was definitely over there by the window.”
“Why is Kang Woo-jin playing the piano?”
Their shock doubled.
“Three goodness. Kang Woo-jin plays the piano?”
“It’s amazing, it’s so amazing??”
However, Kang Woo-jin’s performance became even more dazzling.
-♬♪
Shock was mixed with shock.
“That Korean actor – was he originally a pianist?”
Because I played so well. It is not wrong to say that this is a large hall and a concert is being held here.
The climax and the piano sound fades away.
The grand atmosphere becomes tense. Although the overwhelming heart palpitations subsided, the guests could not take their eyes off Kang Woo-jin. It was because of anticipation about the next climax. His piano had amazing speed control hidden in it.
Accordingly, the girl in the wheelchair. Asami Yusako’s eyes blushed.
“……I said I like ‘Howl’s Moving Castle.’ That’s why Kang Woo-jin plays that song. mom and dad. I really don’t think I’ll forget today. “How could you forget a gift like this?”
It looked shiny. That noble man who calmly plays the piano. It was amazing that such a thing existed in the world. Even if it’s a dream, it’s okay. It was enough for me to just remember this emotion.
In the end, Yusako had to wipe her eyes.
But the girl’s parents did nothing to comfort her.
“Is that really what being an actor is like? Nope. “I bought a piano for the birthday of a fan with whom I only exchanged a few words…”
“Apart from being an actor, humanity itself is amazing.”
The parents were almost beside themselves with gratitude and gratitude that could not be expressed in words, something they had never experienced before. Because everything I had to endure as my daughter, who was in a wheelchair, grew up was all washed away.
The girl’s father and mother also had moist eyes.
-♬♪
A piano that touches the heart. The same was true for some of the restaurant’s guests. For some reason, I wipe away my tears. Looking at Woojin, I was reminded of my fond past. This is because the melody heard is the same, but the emotion that resonates with everyone is completely different.
Some have the past, some have the present, some have the future, some have the people they care about, and some have the hurt of the present.
Other people also take pictures of Kang Woo-jin. Record it as a video or take a photo. There were customers who took pictures from the beginning, and there are also people who started uploading their phones from the middle or even from now on.
“What a rare sight. “Where can I go and see it?”
It was true. A famous Korean actor has come to Japan to play the piano. Stealing people’s souls.
It was a picture that could only have been imagined.
Around this time, someone slowly entered the restaurant filled with piano melodies.
-Sigh.
“……uh?”
A woman with her hair tied up. It was the pianist who was originally supposed to come. By the time she arrived, Woojin’s performance was coming to an end, and she, who had been listening to the performance without realizing it, suddenly narrowed her eyes. Then I asked the male employee standing nearby.
“what? “Did you hire a pianist other than me?”
“yes? Oh no. “That person is Kang Woo-jin.”
“Who who?”
“Mr. Kang Woo-jin. “An actor, that Korean actor.”
“No…I know that too. “This is the actor’s piano skills right now?”
It was then.
-♬♪
The piano melody gradually became quieter and eventually stopped. Kang Woo-jin’s performance was over. But no one in the restaurant moved right away. It was because I was still filled with that emotion.
“……”
“……”
Soon.
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-jin, who was sitting at the white piano, stood up with a silent expression. Only at this time were dozens of guests able to come to their senses, and the first applause came from the seats near the entrance.
-Clap clap clap!
It was Asami Yusako and her parents. The three were busy applauding Kang Woo-jin. Naturally, all the guests also jumped up.
-Clap clap clap clap!
-Clap clap clap clap!
The restaurant was greeted with applause and rave reviews. It was all sincere. He expresses his deep gratitude to Kang Woo-jin, who took care of him for a brief moment and gave him a similarly sensational scene. Where else would you see a cut like this, if not in a movie?
-Clap clap clap clap!
Words like thank you, thank you, it was the best, it was amazing, etc. were mixed in here and there. Kang Woo-jin, standing in front of the piano, maintained an indifferent face, but inside he was extremely embarrassed.
‘Oh, I’m surprised. What should I do in times like this? ‘Is it okay to just stand there?’
There were only a few dozen people applauding, but to Woojin, it felt like thousands of people were applauding. Ah, okay, let’s say hello first. Woojin, who had a thick poker face, gave a small greeting to everyone. Then I turn my gaze and look at the seat near the entrance.
Making eye contact with Asami Yusako.
All I wanted to say was. Happy birthday. I support your future dreams. Yusako, who understood what he meant, bowed her head to Woojin several times while sitting in the wheelchair.
There was only one thing the girl could say.
“Thank you thank you.”
Of course, not everyone in the restaurant knew the story of Kang Woo-jin and the girl.
-Clap clap clap clap!
till now.
after.
The applause from inside the restaurant to Kang Woo-jin continued. Meanwhile, the ‘unfamiliar’ team near the window froze. Except for some of the actors clapping, they couldn’t even move.
Because I couldn’t help but be surprised.
Mifuyu, who was looking at Woojin who had been sitting next to her until just now, seemed completely in love with Kang Woojin.
“It’s crazy, how can I see that it’s just basic stuff? what. That’s a foul. “It’s so cool, right?”
Other Japanese actresses were no different. Those were the facial expressions. Director Kyotaro, full of gray hair, had a similar face to the actresses, but his feelings were different.
‘Possessed acting Japanese sign language. The song is also top-notch. You have so much ability, but what are those piano skills? Why…’
It was Director Kyotaro who I couldn’t understand at first. No, isn’t it realistically impossible? But the impossibility unfolded before my eyes. There is no formula, but the answer exists? I don’t know. I don’t know.
Then, Director Kyotaro met a similar ending to Choi Seong-gun.
‘That’s right. The important thing is that Woojin exists anyway. That’s enough. okay.’
I gave up judgment. I just decided to accept whatever I saw.
About this way.
“What the hell is this-”
Choi Seong-gun ran into the restaurant. He may have heard the news late, but he was wearing comfortable clothes and slippers because he said he was in a hurry. Choi Seong-geon paused for a moment as the customers in the restaurant stood up and applauded, then quickly moved to join Kang Woo-jin in front of the piano.
Understanding the situation came later, but leaving was the first priority.
-Sigh.
Kang Woo-jin and Choi Seong-gun barely escape the restaurant. As soon as he got into the elevator, Choi Seong-gun asked Woojin.
“What?? What happened? “Why are the customers applauding you? Did you see any acting there?”
Although he was asking in a hurry, Kang Woo-jin’s answer was low and concise.
“I just had a piano, so I played a song I knew.”
“…What are you hitting?”
“The piano.”
“piano.”
“Yes, I got a hint for the song from a fangirl I saw earlier.”
No, you’re not asking that, are you? What kind of piano suddenly? Although the look in his eyes was just that, Choi Seong-geon took a long, deep breath and did not reveal his true feelings. Because this wasn’t the first time this happened.
Asking questions only destroys common sense.
“Ah-yeah. Yes, piano. “Did you play a song you knew?”
“yes.”
“By any chance, there’s a piano in the restaurant over there.”
“you’re right.”
“Yes, piano. “Well done.”
“thank you.”
Meanwhile.
“wow!! Kang Woo-jin!”
“Interesting! I can’t believe I saw something like that! “Did you take a picture??”
“of course!”
“I wanted to hear one more song!”
“I am a fan of Kang Woo-jin from today.”
Inside the restaurant where Kang Woo-jin left.
“I guess I played the piano from the beginning and then turned into an actor.”
“With that level of skill, I think I would have been able to go to a concert. Shall we look for it??”
It was full of his stories.
Two days later, January 31st. sunday.
Sunlight shining through the window. Thanks to the sunlight, the dust that could be seen at a glance danced gently and settled on the various musical instruments listed by the window.
It was a music room.
And it was quiet. All you can hear is the light smell of wood and the sound of the wind blowing through the slightly open window. Sometimes the beige curtains flutter due to the wind.
It was then.
“High-Q.”
At the sound of a voice coming from somewhere, the closed door of the music room swung open. Someone came in. It was about 10 seconds later that his dry feet, which had been standing still near the door, moved. Ta-ta-bak-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.
-Attic.
Someone sat in front of an old black piano. Slow to act, he slowly raised his hand and placed it on the cover. Do not open the cover. Just place your hand.
As if opening the cover would inject some kind of memory.
“……”
But he eventually opened the piano cover. You can see that the white and black keys are lined up one after another. It looks like it is very old because it has some minor scratches.
He then raises both hands on the keyboard.
-Suuuuu.
No, it was ‘Kiyoshi Iyota’.
