145. What is your name (4)

In fact, working with LIL this time os a big deal for K-K, but it is also significant for Do-wook's career as a composer.

Do-wook participated as a composer and lyricist in many of the title songs and tracks of the K-K album, and is now firmly established as a producer.

However, Do-wook's work as a composer and producer is limited to KK. It is more a matter of choice and concentration than a matter of skill. The only thing that worked on other singers' songs was the hyunji's album with Park Si-hyung. However, it is not entirely Do-wook's work because it was a collaboration with SooCheol

Although K-K participated, the first song given to another singer became a song given to LIL.

'As a composer...It must be a huge opportunity indeed.'

Do-wook, who opened the door of the terrace of the accommodation, exhaled loudly. The cold air outside shrank his body, but there is nothing like cold air to clear his mind. There is a full moon shining brightly on the terrace.

Under the moonlight, Do-wook reflected on his dream. As a singer, he wants to leave a good song and produce a good singer.

Do-wook, who did not think much about anything other than revenge because he might wake up from the reality that his body changed again, is already living faithfully as Kang Do-wook, planning for the distant future.

Currently, with Do-wook's musical knowledge and composition ability, in fact, with a certain amount of effort, LIL became the center and KK will able to produce songs that existed like shadows that LIL wanted.

But Do-wook didn't want to do that. As it is not an easy opportunity to come, he wants to show that KK can stand shoulder to shoulder with LIL.

'I can be a little greedy..........'

To do so, Kang Do-wook as a composer really had to do his best.

'It should be enough to persuade LIL.'

Then the terrace door opened and Ahn Hyung-seo came in.

"Aren't you cold?"

"I'm going in now."

"Okay. Come on in. Lee Won cooked ramen! Have a bite."

"Oh...."

After a video call with LIL, Kim Won was known as 'Lee One' among the members. It is Lee One from "Only One".

Among Kim Won's fan pages, there is a fan page called "ONLY ONE." It was a fan page that has been taking pictures of Kim Won steadily since the first album. It is obvious that the fan page master would love it.

It is almost midnight. Ahn Hyung-seo grabbed Do-wook when he stopped at the word ramen.

"Just take a bite. Just one bite!"

The members often ate late-night snacks while Oh Baek-ho's surveillance was weakened due to his inactive period and now their years of experience and trust have accumulated. However, Do-wook, who is thorough in self-management, has been absent from late-night snack members.

"You're going to work all night again today. Aren't you hungry?"

"It's............."

"No way music is my food... it's not like that!"

When Ahn Hyung-seo said over-reacting, Do-wook smirked.

"Hey, come and have a bite. LEE WON's ramen skills have improved!"

"What's going on? It's always better."

Jung Min-ki corrected Baek Hwi-jun's words with blurred eyes. Although he is a wonderful youngest with a clean personality, good manners, and fashion sense, Baek Hui-jun sometimes showed insufficient knowledge because he had been in the entertainment industry since childhood.

Do-wook hesitated for a while and then headed toward the table with Ahn Hyung-seo. The smell of ramen is too strong to resist temptation.

And as Ahn Hyung-seo said, he's going to work on the song all night today, so he think it would be better to take a bite for the dawn.

Slurp!

The sound of the members sitting around and eating ramen noodles resonated loudly in the accommodation. Six bags of ramen boiled in a pot of Daejaman with a little addition are disappearing in an instant.

"It's good, bro."

Kim Won grinned at Dowook's words. While smiling, his hands were moving chopsticks and picking up noodles. It was boiled so that each person could eat one, but the speed of eating is too fast.

"Who wants to eat it with rice?""

All the members looked at Jung Min-ki's question. Park Si-hyung hesitantly said.

"Ah... If I eat................"

"Me! I want to eat!""

Ahn Hyung-seo raised his hand.

"Well, then, me too!"

Park Si-hyung also raised his hand as if possessed. In the end, members who said they were full only after eating rice in a pot with only soup left.

The first person to put down the spoon was Do-wook. Baek Hui-jun also tapped his stomach as if he couldn't eat any more. Although he is smaller than other members, Ahn Hyung-seo is a big eater. Baek Hui-jun stopped Ahn Hyung-seo, who is about to roll up more rice, from getting an upset stomach.

"How's the work going?"

When they filled their stomach, the conversation began. Do-wook, who is drinking water nodded slowly to Jung Min-ki's question.

"What..."

Do-wook hesitated uncharacteristically. The reality is that the genre or overall direction is not clear enough to confirm that it is going well.

"It's difficult................."

Jung Min-ki mumbled to himself, wiping his mouth. Everyone knew it would be a difficult task. In particular, it is even more so after Do-wook said that LIL, they would not be able to do as he wanted.

"For now, I'm trying to get a grip on LIL's music style."

"Are you listening to LIL album?""

"In addition to the songs in the LIL album, I'm watching all the songs that was covered or sang by other singers because I think they'll help me understand the style."

Do-wook answered Baek Hui-jun's question. Do-wook is literally exploring LIL's music at random. All the members are full of desire to help, but they did not know how to help.

"E, don't feel too pressured. We don't have to work with LIL."

Do-wook nodded at Jeong Min-ki's words. He couldn't help but feel burdened, but just trusting and following by the members is a great help.

***

Do-wook, who returned to his room and studio after eating late-night snacks, is listening to LIL's songs today as well. The way to take advantage of the characteristics and strengths and weaknesses of the K-K members is Do-wook, who already lived next to them and fully understood them while performing music activities together.

Do-wook is convinced that LIL would also be much more helpful in working on the song he understand as if he's the 7th K-K member.

'Each singer sings the same song differently. Where do you give strength, where do you give strength.... You breathe differently.... If you understand such things, you can even read the singer's mind what he is trying to say through the song.'

It is time to listen to LIL's "IN THE DARK" again. Ahn Hyung-seo came in with a knock.

"What's wrong?"

Ahn Hyung-seo stuck out something to Do-wook's question. The palm-sized black object is an external hard drive.

"What's this?"

"What's in the external hard drive?" Hehe."

Ahn Hyung-seo replied with an insidious laugh. For a moment, Do-wook spaced out and tried to grasp the meaning of what he is saying.

"I think you're suffering too much by yourself. I was wondering if it would help."

"What?"

It was when Do-wook asked back as if he was saying something.

"No way..."

"The videos that LIL has performed so far. Not only YouTube but also all the things posted on overseas music sites were downloaded by date and organized."

Do-wook, who thought of another video, was embarrassed and accepted the external hard drive. Do-wook was embarrassed by Ahn Hyung-seo, but soon one side of his chest became warm.

"I thought it would help if I did this. I did it from time to time a few days ago, but I thought it's good that you're listening to LIL."

"Ah... thank you so much, hyung. How did you organize everything? There must have been a lot."

Ahn Hyung-seo said with a smile.

"There are quite a few things I saved to practice singing, so I did it quickly."

He also included additional performance videos that LIL interviewed that he liked.

"Yeah."

Do-wook thanked again while holding the external hard drive tightly. It is not a direct help, but it is certainly helpful to shorten the time because he didn't have to look at the videos one by one.

"Thank you. See you later."

When Ahn Hyung-seo connected the external hard drive to the laptop, hundreds of videos were organized by folder. There is also a cover video that Do-wook had not yet seen. Do-wook started clicking on the video one by one.

And at 3am. While watching the video, Do-wook rubbed his sleepy eyes and clicked on one video.

"I should go wash my face after watching this."'

LIL is still on the verge of becoming famous. So, it is a small performance video less than a week after releasing their debut song, "IN THE DARK."

The quality and sound quality were not good as if the audience who went to the concert hall, not the official video, filmed and uploaded it with their cell phones. The sound was not good, so he thought he could just skip it, but the reason why he didn't skip it was that the playlist of the performance is different from the playlist of the recent performance.

After singing "IN THE DARK," LIL covered the famous singer's song in an unflagged version. Do-wook, who seemed a little out of the way from the accompaniment of the song, opened his eyes wide when LIL's song began.

'...this is it!"

The mouse's hand was strained his hand. Do-wook has finally set the direction for the song to be composed. Do-wook, who jumped up from his seat, quickly went to the bathroom and washed his face and returned. It is time to accelerate the work of the song.

***

The song guide to be sent to LIL is almost completed. Once he set the direction and started, the work proceeded as quickly as if it were sailing in a good wind. Do-wook first played the song to the members. Members were surprised.

The genre that Do-wook chose was basically R&B. LIL is a great vocalist, so it is predictable that it would be an R&B genre. LIL also wanted exciting music, and he thought KK, who has two rappers, would participate, so he thought it would include some hip-hop elements.

However, the song that Do-wook brought was hip-hop R&B, but it felt very jazzy. At first glance, a soft voice would suit him rather than a powerful voice.

"The song is so good. I keep wanting to listen to it"

Do-wook smiled pleasantly at Ahn Hyung-seo's evaluation. The key point that Do-wook thought of while composing the melody was to make a melody that makes him want to keep listening.

DoWook worked hard to make a melody that makes you want to keep listening to the pleasant beat that makes you lift your feet and head naturally when you walk while listening to the song.

"But I thought it would be deeper. LIL is a powerful vocalist."

At Kim Won's words, Do-wook played the video he saw.

"LIL has this voice.........."

Even though the sound quality is not very good, LIL's voice was echoing through the microphone. The voice singing with a little less strength, not a powerful vocals, is very sweet. It was natural that it is good to hear because the basic skills were solid.

Do-wook is going to take advantage of LIL's soft voice, which was hidden by its powerful voice, high pitch, and unique tone. At the same time, it was clear that this style of music would suit K-pop vocals, including Kim Won, Jung Min-ki's rap, and Ahn Hyung-seo.

"But LIL will want to take advantage of his specialties, so I'm going to add a little bit of strength in the second half."

The members nodded at DOWOOK's words.

"It's different from the songs he received, so he might rather like it................"

Ahn Hyung-seo murmured. Ahn Hyung-seo may know because he is an excellent vocalist. Do-wook also knew this part because he's also a vocalist.

'A good vocalist wants a challenge. He wants to show everything he has.............'

Do-wook wanted LIL to accept the song. He can do this well, too. It is also an opportunity to show that.

'Of course, it's hard to be sure...'

DOWOOK thought. If he thought that the collaboration with LIL might fail, he suddenly felt bitter.

***

And at that time, team leader Lee Dae-hyung, who is monitoring at the office, doubted his eyes.
