[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 250

“With light footsteps leading the way, I set off to a small town buried in time, where I meet the old dreams waiting for me once again♪”

The stage Lim Yoo-joon stands on is surprisingly small for someone of his fame, yet his ability to utilize it leaves everyone in awe.

With light steps, he strolls across the narrow stage, making eye contact with each audience member as he continues to sing.

With every step he takes, he naturally draws the audience’s focus.

As the song reaches its climax, his subtle hand gestures make it feel like Lim Yoo-joon has become a conductor.

Every light hand movement and step carries meaning.

The mischievous Lim Yoo-joon has disappeared, leaving only the top-tier singer, a national sensation at a young age, standing on the stage.

“At the end of the journey, I meet you, quietly holding your hand and closing my eyes. Together, we listen to a song filled with longing, dreaming of eternity♪”

After finishing the song, Lim Yoo-joon neatly wraps up his emotions and bows his head to the audience.

“Waaah!!!!!”

The audience erupts in cheers, sending shivers down your spine.

“That’s the song my uncle used to sing when I went on trips.”

[It’s the same song, but it feels different when the room master sings it.]

[For real, it’s amazing.]

[To be called a national singer at such a young age, you gotta be this good, huh?]

From the small gestures that command the stage to the way he looks at the audience, every little movement on the small stage naturally draws their focus.

【That was singer Lim Yoo-joon’s performance of ‘Rustic Journey.’】

“Waaah!!!!!”

As the host finishes speaking, another wave of cheers floods in.

The song ‘Rustic Journey,’ written and composed by Uncle Woo-hyuk, combines soft lyrics with an upbeat rhythm, making it a beloved track anywhere, anytime.

Singing such a song, he dominates the tiny concert venue with perfect stage manners while also hyping up the audience.

A great song sung by a great singer creates the best stage.

“That was cool.”

[For real, he’s good.]

[He didn’t earn that ‘best’ title by gambling, huh? lol]

Witnessing a near-perfect stage, I learned a lot.

【Singer Lim Yoo-joon has graced the stage for the juniors preparing for the next performance. Next…】

The host smoothly continues the commentary but suddenly stops.

Turns out, Lim Yoo-joon is whispering something to the host.

【Ah! Lim Yoo-joon says he has one more thing prepared. Let’s see it!】

Clap clap clap─!

The audience erupts in thunderous applause.

They must be excited to see what kind of fantastical performance Lim Yoo-joon will deliver next.

Then, Lim Yoo-joon looks straight ahead. He locks eyes with me and casually winks.

“Did he take something?”

[Shh! Shh!]

[Ahhh!!! Please shut up!]

I thought he might sing another song, but a staff member comes on stage, hands something to Lim Yoo-joon, and then leaves.

“A ball?”

“A ball?”

“Yes!”

As a ball enthusiast, Baekseol seems to be the first to notice.

I can feel Baekseol pressing her fluffy head against me.

She must be wriggling with excitement.

“Excited!”

“Hmm.”

Impressing our Pposiraegi like this, Lim Yoo-joon is pretty good for his level.

I feel like my perception of Lim Yoo-joon has leveled up a bit.

【Uh…】

As I hold Baekseol in my arms, the host’s voice briefly echoes.

Out of nowhere, he starts juggling.

“What’s he doing?”

[LOL, this is crazy.]

[Did you tell him to do comedy?]

“Seriously, you’re doing that because of that? Haha.”

Even though it looks awkward to anyone watching, you can see they’re doing their best here too.

The audience is holding back laughter at Lim Yoo-joon’s quirky actions, looking at him with warm eyes.

“Wow!!!”

Lim Yoo-joon, who frantically caught the ball floating in the air, smiles as if nothing happened and greets the audience.

“That was singer Lim Yoo-joon’s performance!”

*Clap clap clap—!*

“He’s so handsome!”

“Lim Yoo-joon, I love you!!”

As if responding to the fans’ enthusiastic cheers, he waves his hand and steps down from the stage.

“Kyaaah!!”

There’s even a deer in the audience. What a mess.

Still, he keeps smiling and steps off the stage, and the host comes back up.

“Did everyone enjoy Lim Yoo-joon’s amazing performance?”

“Yes!!”

The host instantly grabs the audience’s attention.

As expected of someone sent by Uncle Woo-hyuk, his inner energy is no joke.

I’ve seen him a lot on TV, but since I don’t pay much attention to that, I can’t remember his name.

“Lim Yoo-joon went first to support the juniors who worked hard preparing for their debut stage. You’re not all leaving just because he stepped down, right?”

“Yes!!!”

The host even shows off his skill of keeping the audience from leaving.

“Please welcome them with loud cheers! The debut idol group, Serenade!!”

Lim Yoo-joon is a problem whether he comes first or last.

If he goes first, the ones after him disappear. If he goes later, he erases the earlier performers from the audience’s memory.

I get it now after meeting him today. He’s that kind of person.

“Hello!! We’re Serenade, sending you love!!”

As Serenade confidently steps onto the stage and greets everyone, the noisy market quiets down except for some murmurs of “Who are they?”

The expectation that things would go off track is now firmly stuck in the center.

*Ding!*

**〈Song of the Storm〉**

“Serenade is so cool!!”

*Boom crash—!!*

As I shout at the top of my lungs, my voice echoes loudly, mixing with the sound of the roaring storm.

Because of that, the crowded audience covers their ears and looks at me with bewildered faces before turning their attention back to the stage.

“Serenade, fighting!”

“Serenade, you’re so handsome!”

Serenade, who had been tense, blooms into a smile at the unexpected cheers.

[Did the room master eat a train whistle or something?]

[Your voice is louder than a woofer lol, your volume is insane]

[On my way to get a reaper]

[My eardrums burst, can’t hear Serenade’s song, RIP]

***

“The last performance was a cute rabbit!”

A short performance fitting for the small stage, with no encore.

“It was a refreshing performance to blow away the hot weather. Please follow the guides and return home safely. I was your MC, Jang Bong-chun. Thank you.”

As the stage curtains close, fans who arrived late start swarming around Lim Yoo-joon.

His guards are going to have a tough time.

“Our Pposiraegi, you’re really good at rolling the ball, huh?”

“So fun!!”

Rolling the ball in front of so many people and receiving cheers seems to have made them really excited.

They keep bouncing around, pressing their shoulders with cotton pads.

[But wasn’t the song Serenade sang something the room master made up earlier? It’s completely different.]

[When did they prepare the choreo? It was so sharp.]

“They just changed the rhythm of the dance they already practiced. The song was finished right before we left, after turning off the broadcast. Was it okay?”

[It was amazing! You can compose too?]

[I was so nervous because it looked like you were just randomly pressing MIDI keys lol.]

*Ding ding!*

“Hold on a sec.”

*Click.*

“Yes, hello.”

“Ga-eul!! What’s going on? You’ve really been through a lot.”

“I have.”

“Haha, yeah. I’ll make sure to thank you properly. Serenade is going crazy right now, kid.”

“Good reactions?”

“Good? It’s insane! Except for that one rookie who popped out a bit too much, everything’s great!”

“They have nothing to do with me.”

Waiting for my debut, which is just around the corner, I feel like my mouth has popped out a bit, just like Uncle said.

I’m too busy taking care of my own kids to spare even a handful of attention for people I don’t know.

“But, who made the song that kid sang? It’s amazing! I sent it today, when did you prepare that?”

“I just messed around with some MIDI and made it.”

“Huh?”

If Uncle Woo-hyuk, who was a singer in the past and is now a businessman, representative producer, and composer, is reacting like this, it must mean it turned out pretty good, as the viewers said.

“Was it okay? I gave the music copyright as a temporary debut gift for Serenade.”

“Ah, no. I have so much to say, I don’t even know where to start. You’re saying you just slapped that together? Ga-eul, don’t you want to compose with me?”

“Hmm. It’s okay. I’m really busy right now, Uncle.”

It might sound like a lie, but even in this situation, he firmly believes me.

“*Sigh*… Alright, let’s talk about that later when we meet. So, what happened with Lim Yoo-joon? He was right there.”

“It just came up, but he came to me himself after seeing my broadcast. I guess he didn’t have much to do. Was he just scratching his balls at home and decided to come out?”

“Ah! Ahh!!”

Suddenly, Uncle Woo-hyuk starts yelling into the phone.

“What’s wrong?”

“Do you even know how big his fandom is? Do you know how much influence he has?”

“Eh, it’s fine since we’re friends. Uncle, have you ever seen me disrespect my elders? I treat everyone with respect.”

“True. Where else can you find a kid as polite as you these days? You’re right, but… *sigh*, you keep saying such right things, it makes me feel like I’m aging ten years at a time. When did you make friends?”

“These days, it’s like, ‘Let’s be friends!’ Not like before. Just smoothly. Naturally.”

“*Sigh*. You’re something else, kid.”

Uncle Woo-hyuk lets out a relieved sigh.

He seems really flustered.

“I was so shocked I forgot. Ga-eul, don’t you want to try going to the Idol Sports Festival?”

“The idol physical conversation you mentioned earlier?”

“*Sigh*. Who said that? It’s the Idol Sports Festival now, kid. Literally, idols doing sports.”

As Haemalgeum said, it seems to be the Idol Sports Festival. The fact that the info came out so quickly means he’s pretty sharp in this area.

“The name itself is Idol Sports Festival, is it okay for me to go?”

“Even the Olympics, kid, you’d chew them up. Just go there and smile, and everything will be okay.”

“Hmm. I don’t mind, but do I really have to go? Aren’t there plenty of jobless celebrities out there?”

“True. Everyone’s dying to go. But Ga-eul, you used that PD’s ID for your broadcast, right?”

“Yeah.”

I borrowed Uncle Manseung’s ID to promote Serenade a bit during the travel broadcast.

“The PD from the Idol Sports Festival saw it and is going crazy asking for you.”

“Hmm.”

Uncle seems to be getting more urgent, his dialect getting thicker.

Or maybe I’ve just gotten more comfortable.

Even when I was traveling, my dialect got thicker when I was alone with Uncle Kwakjin.

“I know I shouldn’t say this since today’s situation is because of me, but I asked for one host, and they immediately sent a top MC.”

“Really?”

– That kid? The one who helps each other.

Uncle Woo-hyuk’s words are packed with a lot of meaning.

“So, you’re saying the entertainment industry is more about connections than talent?”

– Hey! Stop it, you little brat. If you fall in the water, only Judy will float. If you go to the afterlife, even Yama will grab the back of his neck because of you.

Uncle Woo-hyuk agrees too.

I guess I understood it right.

“Will you be in trouble if I refuse?”

– No way! Not at all. Even today, I’m stuck with debts I can’t repay, so what can I do? Do whatever you want.

『Ga-eul, please!』

From the other side of the phone, I hear a voice I’ve never heard before. It seems like that person is the PD from Ache.

Looks like they’ve been pestering Uncle.

“I might ruin it if I go.”

『Ga-eul, you just need to smile!』

It seems like they’re on speakerphone, as they respond immediately.

“Just being there is enough?”

『Of course! Do whatever you want, Ga-eul!』

‘Is this a totem?’

『PD, you might regret this. If that kid causes a mess, even Buddha won’t be able to fix it.』

“I can hear everything, Uncle.”

– Ahem! Did you hear? Haha, what do you want to eat, Ga-eul?

“Anything but fresh fish is fine.”
