Chapter 98

Because the new album was quite popular, the Davichi duo had a lot of appearances recently. These days, Kang Min-kyung didn't even have time to go home. Of course, this was the daily life of an artist. If these singers could still go home to rest every day, that would be a tragic situation.

And because Kang Min-kyung had been shooting the program until the early hours of the morning yesterday, she had no appearances today and slept until 11 o'clock. When she got up and checked her phone, she saw a text message from her senior, which made her very happy. When she opened the text, she immediately shouted in joy, scaring Li Haili, who was still sleeping.

Annoying Senior: "Senior's new song is almost finished. Are you interested in helping Senior beat up the bad guys? Reply quickly, or I'll find someone else!"

Excited Kang Min-kyung hurriedly called Li Huanle. As soon as the call was connected, she excitedly shouted, "Senior, you finally got smart once!"

"Phew, phew, phew, what are you talking about? What do you mean by 'got smart once'!"

"Hahaha!!"

Kang Min-kyung suddenly burst into a strange laugh and then happily said, "Knowing to ask this lady for help, isn't that smart?"

"Is that so... Then I'll be a bit stupid and find someone else to help this time. I'm hanging up, you just work hard!"

"No, no, no, I'm wrong, Senior, you have to let me help, to fight against the bad guys together! What's Senior's new song like? Is it a duet? Or hip-hop? Or something like 'Don't Cross Your Legs'?" Kang Min-kyung sat on the Simmons bed, looking very excited, with her cute dimples fully showing.

"Why so many questions? I left the lyrics at home. You can go back and get them when you have time. If you don't have time, wait a few days. When you get them, read them well, don't use that old-fashioned accent your teacher taught you!"

"Lyrics? What about the melody? And why do I have to read the lyrics? Could it be... Chinese?"

"It's 'British Son-in-Law'!"

"English?? What a joke, besides 'wa chi mao leng,' 'an fan,' 'san q,' and 'mi tu,' does Senior know any other English words?" Kang Min-kyung mercilessly exposed Li Huanle's English skills.

On the other end of the phone, Li Huanle's face turned slightly red, but he still said firmly, "That's old news. Anyway, put your heart into it. In a few days, Senior and a friend will finish the arrangement and call you. Also, talk to the company about this. If they don't agree, go directly to that Jin Guangzhu. If he still doesn't agree, tell him I'll pay him a visit. Alright, Senior has something to do, I'm hanging up!"

Although Li Huanle quickly hung up the phone, Kang Min-kyung was very happy this time, her face full of smiles and excitement.

"Finally, I can help Senior!"

Kang Min-kyung thought excitedly, and her good mood lasted all day.

...

Time passed, and a few more days went by. The noisy March finally ended, and the weather in Seoul truly warmed up. The girls on the streets were dressed much more lightly.

In March, the biggest event in the entertainment industry was naturally Han Chae-young's marriage scandal, followed by Li Huanle's comet-like appearance and his challenge to Yu Yong-jin. The popularity of "Cute Song" continued, and in the social news, the Choi family scandal was the most significant.

And CCM announced the plan for a new girl group at the end of March, along with the member information. When Jeon Bora and Lee Ji-hye appeared on the list, many of their fans were very happy. At the same time, some people who were unhappy with Li Huanle began to shout about the promotion theory, saying that what Yu Yong-jin said before was right.

In fact, after Li Huanle refuted Yu Yong-jin, Yu Yong-jin only forwarded Li Huanle's video on his personal SNS a few days later to indicate that he was accepting the challenge. After that, he seemed to disappear.

And Yu Yong-jin didn't want to accept the challenge, but the media was too overwhelming with various special reports, almost forcing him to do it. He had no choice but to use this method to convey his intention to accept the challenge.

As for Li Huanle, he also disappeared, but occasionally someone would take photos of Li Huanle appearing in Hongdae. Sometimes, when reporters rushed over, they couldn't find him. They wanted to ask the nearby shops, but the people there mostly said they didn't know Li Huanle, leaving the reporters quite helpless.

In fact, most of the people there knew Li Huanle, but no matter what, they wouldn't say anything about him, especially if it was exposed by these reporters. Who knew what trouble or retaliation might come.

Additionally, the 21 team, who had a deal with Li Huanle, often posted photos on their SNS, especially MC Mong, who posted the most. Many people knew that the 21 team was practicing dance and songs.

At this moment, in a basement practice room in Hongdae, a mysterious and dynamic music was playing.

"i... i..."

"Alright, alright, stop singing nonsense. You're just here to help with the accompaniment and get some face time!" Li Huanle, who had been writing something on the side, finally couldn't stand it and stood up, unplugging the effects and power. The once mysterious music immediately became ordinary.

"Bro, how can you do this? I finally like the song you wrote so much, you should let me sing it to my heart's content!" Jung Joon-young, wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt, called out excitedly, his enthusiasm absolutely surpassing his gaming state.

Li Huanle, wearing a black T-shirt and shorts, ignored him and walked over to a man with short hair and ear piercings, who was about his age and had a decent appearance. "Myung-hwa, I think it's almost there. The arrangement and accompaniment are almost perfect. The rest is just practicing with the singer, recording the video, and the audio!"

Park Myung-hwa was also Li Huanle's high school classmate and close to the Kim brothers. He was Li Huanle's good friend and had been playing in an underground band since high school.

"OK, working with you these past few days has been exhausting, but it's worth it to complete this song together. But is this song really written by you?" Park Myung-hwa asked with a doubtful look.

"Damn, if it wasn't written by me, go find out who could have written it! Alright, I'm leaving. Finish the accompaniment as soon as possible, try to get it done within two days. What are you looking at? Two days is already a short time. If you dare to complain, I'll take back these effects after this is done!" Li Huanle said seriously, making Park Myung-hwa and the drummer stand in front of the effects.

Li Huanle looked at these guys helplessly. They formed a band called EK, usually just hanging out in bars, occasionally performing in Hongdae. They weren't particularly good, just getting by. Li Huanle didn't understand what they were persisting in, but it probably had something to do with dreams or freedom.

He walked to the side, picked up his phone, keys, and the USB drive plugged into the computer, and left the basement.

As he walked out, he heard Jung Joon-young's excited shouts, followed by the music playing again.

"They're really a bunch of lunatics!"

Li Huanle sighed helplessly, but the corners of his mouth slowly curled up. He left the basement and came out onto the street, where the sun was shining brightly.

At 3 PM in Hongdae, there weren't many people around, as it wasn't a holiday and most people were still in class.

Perhaps because he had been in the basement for a long time, Li Huanle was slightly sensitive to the light, but the sunlight felt unexpectedly comfortable on his skin.

He touched his scruffy beard, thinking he should tidy up.

But now, there was another matter to attend to. Walking on the streets of Hongdae, enjoying the scorching sun, Li Huanle took out his phone and called Kang Ho-dong.
