How to make a high school girl stop crying.
It wasn't that difficult.
"Are you done now?"
"Yes… heheung…"
I immediately brought Jo Ayun to the PC room turned on the game and returned the item.
Jo Ayun who had been giggling until then slowly started to stop crying.
However the wariness could not be completely erased.
The way they looked at me was quite stinging.
I feel quite sorry.
"I'm sorry for using this method. "I really wanted to meet you but this was the only way."
"Me…?"
"Oh you. "For now let's talk here do you want to go to a cafe?"
Even I thought it was a very suspicious thing to say but fortunately Han Seo-rim was there and I was able to soften my guard a little.
Jo Ayun glanced at Han Seo-rim and then nodded.
He must be relieved to have a woman like him.
No matter what stage 1 is cleared.
"Okay let's go out first. Seorim you too stop turning it off."
"Hmm… Ah? yes."
Click Han Seo-rim closed the community window and stood up.
"Where are we going?"
"You said you were going to a cafe."
"Oh really? That's good. I happen to know a place nearby. "Hey come here."
Han Seo-rim took care of Jo A-yoon.
I also erased the many thoughts that were rising and followed them.
The place we arrived at was a famous franchise cafe not far away.

"I heard there was a new menu so I wanted to try it. "What would you like to drink?"
"Chocolate frappe…"
"What about your senior?"
"iced coffee."
"What?"
"···Iced Americano."
"Senior you really said that? Just reduce what you could say to something strange that only you know. "That's a lack of social skills."
Would it be meaningful to explain future abbreviations or abbreviations to that child?
··No I have to do that.
"I'll keep that in mind."
"Then I'll get a drink and go so I'll take her to her seat. "I heard there's something I want to talk about."
Han Seo-rim waved his hand.
Jo Ayun suddenly started to feel anxious.
"···Shall we go?"
Jo Ayun who hesitated eventually lowered her head.
Hesitatingly coming closer seems to indicate approval.
* * *
Ayun was quite unfamiliar with the sudden situation.
Above all it had been a while since I had been outside during the day like this so the sun was stinging and I felt uncomfortable.
Meanwhile Yeonho is in front of me.
I felt like I had done something wrong as the adult man I thought of as my friend was looking at me with a face that I didn't know what he was thinking.
My shoulders shrank.
It was at that moment that Yeonho opened his mouth.
"Take this first. "I'm the type of person who does this."
What he held out was a white business card.
Ayun carefully took the card and looked at it.
"Studio…Lewid…"
"Studio Rewind."
"Ah yes…"
"It's a game production company. It was new a while ago and just released one. The employees are me my junior who I just saw and two more people. As you can see we are short on staff and are looking for staff."
Yeonho got straight to the point.
Ayun was embarrassed.
"But why are you looking for me?"
"Because I want to hire you. "We need someone to handle the sound on our team."
"Me…?"
"I need to explain this first."
Yeonho took out a file from his bag.
Join our discord and ping me to update more chapters. Discord: https://discord.gg/93rmBjgP6B
Ayun was greatly surprised by the contents of the opened file.
'My blog!'
It was a screenshot of a blog used to store music created.
I was wondering how he figured it out and it seems like he came across this.
"I looked around online to find the right employee. Then I found your music on your blog and thought this was it so I looked for your contact information. However the email address was kept private and all comments were blocked."
Ayun nodded slowly.
The reason I blocked comments is because I am afraid of evaluation.
The reason I blocked the email was because I was afraid of abusive language that would be sent via email.
Ayun's anxiety combined with social phobia blocked her eyes and ears.
"Meanwhile there was just one game screenshot posted on the blog. I tracked it down and met you. At first I was going to tell him about the business right away but after hearing your situation I couldn't hastily ask to meet him. I thought I had no choice but to pull it out like this. "Sorry again."
"Oh no…"
That's it!
Only then was Ayun able to feel relieved.
Actually if I had to pick something strange I could have picked it but Ayun who was still young wasn't smart enough to pick something like that out.
However he was just happy that there were people who praised his music.
This was Ayun's first time.
At school if I talked about music I had to be called 'smug' or 'princess sick'.
When that moment suddenly came to mind Ayun became scared.
It was a lack of confidence.
"That's right…"
"huh?"
"That's what professionals do… I'm a little…"
Ayun thought that she was an amateur.
And isn't it said that it is the music necessary for game production?
That was Ayun's perception.
Games were made by dozens of professionals from large companies and even universities.
It also made sense for the music to be made by a professional rather than by someone who had dropped out of high school.
The case of indie games is different… but Ayun who has limited knowledge about them cannot help but feel burdened.
It was the moment when words of rejection were about to come out.
Yeonho said in a firm voice.
"It can't be done without you."
Rattling!
"We need your music for a game we're planning."
Ayun's body became stiff.
"It can't be done without you. "The moment I heard your music all other options were erased from my mind."
Embarrassing words that make your face turn red.
The moment I raised my head what I saw was Yeonho with a serious expression.
"I don't force anything. But if the reason is confidence can't you think about it? I have confidence in you."
Ayun's eyes were spinning.
The previous words passed through my mind.
It can't be done without you.
All options other than you have been erased from my mind.
I am confident in you.
A feast of powerful sentences that can only be described as confessions!
"Uh uhh…"
A handsome man's confession was powerful to a high school girl with many dreams!
This was especially true for Ayun who lacked social skills!
'Is this a confession? already? But I'm a minor? Is it you? Uh oh… but he's a little bit like that…!'
That was the moment when my face turned red and my hands started shaking.
"I'm here. Huh? Why is he like this again? "Did you say something strange Senpai?"
"?"
"Oh this person is like that. "Drink this boy."
Seorim approached me and put a chocolate frappe in my hand.
"Thank you so much!"
"Don't pay much attention to what that person says. "People don't have much social skills."
Oh is this a check?
A scene from the drama passed through Ayun's mind.
-slap!
-You're the bitch who cheated on me with him right?!
Shock!
Ayun shook her shoulders and looked back at Seorim.
However that action only led to Ayun being dragged back to reality.
"Your face is red? Are you okay?"
Seorim was putting his hand on his forehead with a worried face.
'Ah the smell of perfume.'
It smelled good so I sniffed it without thinking.
The hand that touched my forehead was also soft.
Her face was insanely pretty.
She was a gorgeous beauty who looked like she only appeared on TV.
Ayun was defeated as a woman!
"···I really didn't do anything."
"Yes you must have said that."
Only then did I realize the reality.
'Ah they're playing together.'
Actually the two seem to be of similar age work together and seem close.
Plus it looked good on him.
Ayun felt sick to her stomach for no reason.
Yes it's unexpected.
'bye···.'
Hello my pretty first love…
Ayun's first love ended in 10 seconds!
Meanwhile Yeonho's words continued.
"So if it's okay with you would you like to work together? Of course it's not free labor. The conditions presented by us are…"
I don't know about this industry but it seemed like a good condition even if I just heard about it.
Honestly do you make a living from music?
I thought it would be fun to make music for my favorite game.
However I couldn't hear it well.
Ayun who felt depressed answered sullenly with a cool head.
It was a practical problem that came to mind late.
"···I need to get permission from mom."
"Then let's go to your house."
"yes?"
"I'll try to convince your mother."
Ayun's head was raised.
As expected what was visible was Yeonho with a serious expression.
'this···.'
Could it be a meeting?
Dead first love resurrected like a dog…!
* * *
… didn't happen.
"A game company?"
In front of the dining table in the living room of Ayun's house.
Mom was looking at Yeonho and Seorim with her arms crossed and a wary expression on her face.
Ayun swallowed dry saliva.
Mom hated games.
To be exact Ayun's behavior over the past month had made her sick of the game.
In the meantime say people who are making games come to you.
It is also not one of the few game companies that start with N that are widely known to the public.
"Honestly I'm embarrassed. "It's also suspicious."
Mom's eyes narrowed.
Isn't this a big problem?
It was a moment when Ayun thought.
"Yes I completely understand. So would you please take a look at this?"
Yeonho went on the attack.
What was taken out was a file.
"This is our sales table. Since we created our first game six months after our founding our total monthly sales have reached 800 million won. "I have enough money to pay Ayun's salary right now."
"Hmm…?!"
Mom was embarrassed.
Yeonho seemed to seize the opportunity and attacked one after another.
"Even leaving aside the most sensitive issue of money. I saw potential in Ms. Ayun. In other words it's talent. This is true in the field of arts and physical education. Many people talk about the importance of hard work but arts and physical education are a genre in which you can never grow and become successful without an innate sense and I feel that Ayun has more brilliant talent than anyone I know."
There is no parent who dislikes praising their child.
Mom was like that too.
Mom's expression wavered.
The corners of his mouth perked up.
"Is that so?"
"Yes I just don't want to pamper little Ayun. I have a great desire to help him develop his talent. Game production is also a creative field. I would appreciate it if you would view it with the passion of a creator."
"Keukheuhum…!"
My mother belatedly cleared her throat as if she was trying to 'pretend' to be strict.
Ayun had a lot of thoughts!
"This is Ayun's training guideline prepared by us."
Yeonho took out the file again.
That moment!
"This…!"
Mom's eyes widened!
What was in the file was a lot of letters and graphs.
In other words it was entrance exam material.
"Ayun is now 17 years old. This is a time when education and growth are needed. First if you leave it to us we will get Ayun to pass the qualification exam within one year. And you will be in charge of preparing for college entrance exams. Since I am considering going to music school I will entrust private tutoring to a professional teacher there. "I will not forget to provide support for tuition at university in the future."
Ayun opened her mouth wide.
Now I can finally hear what I was hearing in the cafe.
It was the same with my mom.
The eyes that trembled like aspen trees were telling so much.
That was exactly what my mother did when she finally added one more word.
"How can you believe that?"
An expression like that of a melodrama female protagonist in a drama who is good but throws a tantrum for no reason!
In other words Yeon-ho's continued actions washed away his mother's doubts!
"The introduction is late. My name is Jeon Jeon-ho and I am a student in the Department of Computer Engineering at Hankuk University. "The friend next to me is also a student at Korea University."
"This is Han Seo-rim visual design major. "I will personally take charge of the college entrance tutoring."
Their student ID cards pierced my mother's heart like a sharpshooter's arrow that ran a thousand miles and hit the target!
Mom held both of their hands tightly.
"Teachers! "Please take care of our Ayun!"
The year is 2009.
South Korea was suffering from a craze for private education.
And there was one person who was completely left out of this conversation.
'Mom what is my opinion?'
Ayun suddenly felt betrayed by her mother.
* * *
Late evening.
Returning to the office after finishing work for the day.
As I remain alone silence surrounds me.
As the silence approaches thoughts pass by.
I erase them one by one leaving only me and my situation to contemplate.
'Finished recruiting a sound director.'
This completes the minimum preparation.
One art set sound to implement 3D graphics.
And I who will be in charge of planning and programming.
Of course it's still sloppy.
The art team's first 3D production the sound director is a high school student and I am in charge of planning and programming and they also have to take care of operations so everything is in poor condition.
But it's okay.
'My last life was harder than this.'
In my last life I completed the entire process alone thinking that I should not rely on anything and that I had to prove to myself that I was not wrong.
The environment is much better now than then and production costs are similar to those then.
So we had to be better this time.
We had to create a more complete game and one that could increase sales.
'I can't stay in indie forever.'
I'm not putting all that source material into it just to finish it as an indie.
We had to move forward and the end is clear.
'AAA level.'
It refers to a game with a total production cost of more than 10 billion won and it refers to a game that will contain that much quality and volume.
What is needed for that?
Human resources financial resources and even location.
There was only one way to get everything you needed.
My fist was clenched.
Outside the window the night view of Seoul gave off a quiet light.
Looking somewhere I set my sights on the target.
'GOTY.'
Game Of The Year.
This refers to the game that received the most awards among games released in a year.
Of all these this is what I must achieve.
'Indie GOTY.'
This is what I achieved in my last life.
In other words yes.
'You must overcome your past life.'
I will now head to the starting line.
