‘ Hmm.’
I guess I didn't know Bae Do-bin very well yet. She had only been with him for three months, but she thought she would no longer be surprised by his genius..
I was dumbfounded to see that the performance continued even though the string was broken..
I wonder if it was a veteran performer..
The members were also surprised and momentarily took their eyes off me and looked at Dobin..
solo.
As it is a position that receives all the spotlight, only those who have experienced it know the pressure. I thought I didn't know that because I was still young, but maybe that's why.
The guy didn't panic at all and finished the performance well..
and.
When I finished conducting, I looked back and I don't know when it started, but I saw him bowing his head towards the audience..
Everyone stood up and applauded, but he didn't raise his head until the applause ended. He raised his head only after the crowd cheered..
I bowed my head again to myself and the musicians..
This is not the behavior of a five-year-old child..
The performance itself went off without any problems..
This is probably an apology to the audience and the Berliner Philharmoniker for their negligence in taking care of their instruments..
How can this person be a musician of such stature?.
First, I had to start the next song, so I had no choice but to take up the baton again, leaving Dobin to apologize proudly and leave..
* * *
‘Damn it.’
I made an unacceptable mistake..
Although there was a lot of work going on recently, whether it was interviews, articles, or commercials, I couldn't forgive myself for neglecting the most basic things..
As I was venting my anger behind the stage, my mother came..
“Dobin, are you done??”
“yes. What should I play?.”
“I see.”
My mother seemed to have something to say, so I turned my head and saw an old gentleman next to her..
“Nice to meet you.”
“……hello.”
“You look smart. Should I have dinner with my grandfather??”
grandfather?
When he saw his mother, he opened his mouth with difficulty, as if he didn't want to..
“Dobin is my maternal grandfather..”
This was the first time my mother talked about my grandfather..
So I thought my parents were thin at a young age, but that doesn't seem to be the case..
When I looked at him, it seemed like there was something not going well between us..
“Hello, grandpa. This is Bae Do-bin.”
“okay. haha. Grandpa will buy me something delicious. let's go.”
“I'm sorry, Grandpa. Could you please wait a moment??”
“hmm?”
“I made a mistake at the concert today. I need to apologize to the people who came to the concert and the members..”
“I noticed earlier that the string seemed to be broken. Could that be the reason??”
“yes.”
“I think I handled it like an adult. Do I have to apologize again?.”
“These are the people who came to hear me play, and these are the people who worked together for that purpose..”
“My grandfather doesn't know much about music, but I think he played well and had no problems..”
“It's not a question of playing. It's a problem with my attitude that I was negligent in preparation..”
“Hmm.”
My grandfather thought about it and sat down next to me..
“okay. I'll wait with you.”
“thank you.”
After waiting for the 90-minute concert to end, I headed to the front gate..
The audience started to come out and I bowed my head and apologized to them for my mistake..
“oh. Not Bae Dobin?”
“why are you here?”
“I was doing that earlier too..”
How much time has passed since I heard those words?.
My back hurt, but I kept my head down, and someone came next to me..
After the audience had all left, I looked up and saw Furtwängler next to me, bowing his head..
Not only that, but the principal musicians were also behind him..
“this••••••
“Who told you to do whatever you want?!”
“yes?”
“Who let you apologize on your own? Some unscrupulous person taught you to act like this.!”
“Because it's my fault……
“Wow!”
Furtwängler was a little surprised when he shouted for the first time..
“You are a member of the Berlin Philharmonic. The glory of this place is yours, and your mistakes are all our mistakes. They learned something bad from somewhere and are trying to tarnish our faces.!”
Hearing the loud noise, people gathered around, but Furtwängler didn't pay any attention..
“The Berlin Philharmonic is not capable of handling your mistakes. If I was going to pretend not to know that you made a mistake and leave you to take responsibility, I wouldn't have accepted you as a member.!”
“Chef.”
“Now, do you know what you have to say to us?.”
“……I'm sorry for trying to take responsibility alone. thank you.”
Let's open our mouths.
Furtwängler hugged me..
“Oh, what should I do with this good boy?.”
I am indeed.
I felt a feeling I had never felt before..
Furtwängler scolds and hugs with lots of affection, and members who wipe away tears or give me thumbs up.
Their support.
Something I've never felt before.
It gave me a moving feeling..
‘……Is this a sense of belonging?.’
I'm not sure.
But definitely, definitely.
After losing my voice, I felt as fulfilled inside as when I first received applause..

I said hello to the members and headed to my mother and grandfather..
“are you okay?”
“yes. are you okay.”
My mother scanned my cheek with concern. He wiped away the tears I shed without realizing it..
“You had a good person.”
“yes. He's a good person. Thank you for waiting.”
“haha. okay. Let's go. Because time is precious.”
I thought he was a mean person because his mother was uncomfortable, but my grandfather was more normal than I thought..
click-
Doesn't seem like a normal person.
As I walked along with my grandfather, a man was waiting in front of a long car and opened the door for me..
It was a better-looking limousine than the one John Richard provided for us when we went to Los Angeles..
My maternal grandfather seemed wealthy at first glance, but I couldn't understand it when I thought about how my mother and father lived in poverty..
My mother held my hand tightly and glared at my grandfather. It seemed like something had definitely happened between the two of them..
I thought it was because fights between parents and children are common..
The place we headed to after getting off the limousine was as luxurious as a 19th century nobleman's mansion..
The people guiding my grandfather were polite, as if they were nobles, or even royalty, and I wondered something about it..
As I sat down, the treatment became even better..
Soon the food came out and I started eating..
“Dobin, have you ever heard of your grandfather?.”
“ no.”
Grandfather nodded..
Looking at it in a bright light, there seems to be quite a difference in age between me and my mother. I wonder if there is a story behind my mother being a late child or something..
I looked older than I did before I died..
“uh.”
“why are you like that.”
“it is delicious.”
“haha. okay?”
When the grandfather looked at the man next to him, he immediately headed somewhere..
“Is this your first time eating it?.”
“yes. It is very delicious. Grandpa eat it too.”
He was looking at me in a happy way. It was my first time seeing him, but considering he was a grandfather seeing his grandson for the first time, I thought it wasn't that much of a stretch, so I didn't pay much attention to it..
“How old is our Dobin this year??”
“I'm six years old.”
“It's amazing that you're six years old. I also know how to take responsibility for my own work..”
“Because it's natural.”
“okay. People should take responsibility for their own affairs..”
Ah, this is delicious too.
“Are you learning music properly?.”
Maybe it's because it's my first time seeing it, but I have a lot of questions..
“yes. fun. It's better because I still have a lot to learn..”
“Is there anything you want to have?.”
“You can earn it and buy it..”
“ha ha ha. okay. If you need something, you have to earn it and buy it. Then... how about a gift?.”
Grandfather put a box on the table. It's a cell phone.
He opened it and handed it to me, but my mother said as if she couldn't take it anymore..
“Stop it, what are you doing with your child??”
“Is it a problem for a grandfather to eat with his grandchildren?.”
“Didn’t you decide not to watch it? Why are you showing interest in Dobin now??”
“calm down.”
“I can not. Dobin, let’s go..”
It seems like it wasn't the place to focus on delicious food..
I couldn't understand the situation because I didn't hear anything from my mother, but it seems like the conflict between the two is deeper than I expected..
Tuk _
Just as I was about to stand up, being led by my mother, my grandfather threw a newspaper on the table..
Q. I heard that a single album will be produced soon. how do you feel.
A. I'm glad I can make money..
Q. What does it mean? Do you like money?.
A: Yes. i like you. My family is poor, so I need money to learn more about music..
‘crazy.’
This is an interview article with Rin Ishihara..
“What on earth are you thinking? If you are not enough, are you going to make your child live in poverty?.”
I guess my mother was upset..
I don't know why their relationship fell apart, but it seems like my mother left my grandfather and became independent..
“I've been looking into Dobin for a while. Everyone says I'm a genius who comes along once in a thousand years. Today, I see that this young guy has a sense of responsibility and is strong. Becoming a parent will provide a better environment for you.
What are you doing right now?.”
“What are you doing, father? Have you forgotten what you did to Seo Bae? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have to live like that now, and our Dobin would be eating good food and wearing pretty clothes.!”
‘Look at this.’
I feel like I've heard it many times before, so let's think about it..
It reminded me of the morning drama my mother used to watch every morning..
‘Did you say you were a fool after seeing something like this??’
