When I Have Money

The neon lights outside the window illuminated the night of the city, and the lights on the bridge across the river bank were extremely bright. Yang Kun was sitting slumped on the sofa at home. Although he looked out the window, his mind was full of plots from the comics.

A store that started from 'Itaewon' has finally become a restaurant group through the efforts of a group of people. The passionate scenes in the comics made Yang Kun want to go to Itaewon for a walk.

Although Yang Kun has been to that place many times, this time he brought the "beginning of a dream" of a comic character. Thinking about it, Yang Kun simply got up and set off towards Itaewon. And his house was close to Itaewon, and it took less than 20 minutes to walk there.

Came to Itaewon again at night. With all kinds of neon lights on both sides of the street and music from bars floating around, Itaewon always attracts countless young people to come here to spend the night. Yang Kun walked slowly among the crowd, shuttling through various alleys.

Those who came here... There are groups of men and women in groups, maybe this place is more like a 'place of romance'! When the hormones are burning at night, this is the best place to release!

Along the way, Yang Kun has seen many young ladies wearing short skirts and leather boots. They are walking with heavy make-up and smiling while occasionally you can hear "that who, that's good." ’ ‘The one just now was really poignant~’

Itaewon is the place to release youth! Of course, this place is full of vitality, and also full of business opportunities.. In the comics, they work here, work hard here, and conquer people who come here at night with their own food!

After walking for a while, Yang Kun saw a lively food stall and walked in directly. Then he ordered a kimchi tofu pot. This is a very common Korean dish, but it is the dish where the protagonist in the comic story gets rich , It is said that simple cooking can show the craftsmanship.

Yang Kun has no doubts about this. After the kimchi tofu pot was served, Yang Kun took a sip of the soup with a spoon. The bland soup seemed to be boiled in clear water instead of stock. The soup base of this pot is even weak in taste of kimchi..

Yang Kun ordered a bottle of shochu, then turned on the stove and poured all the kimchi as a side dish given by the boss into the kimchi pot, then Yang Kun ordered another portion of white meat and added another portion of kimchi.

The Korean-style poached meat is served with some shrimp paste. Yang Kun directly poured the shrimp paste and half of the poached meat into the kimchi pot, including the lettuce wrapped in it and let it boil.

With Yang Kun's own seasoning, a pot of soup has finally become more flavorful after being slowly boiled. With a smile, he dug a spoonful of soup and took a sip, then nodded in satisfaction, and then he began to savor the supper slowly by himself.

The staff here were very puzzled when they saw that Yang Kun's kimchi tofu pot was full of white meat and lettuce. It's just that they didn't ask much, what Yang Kun wants to eat is Yang Kun's own business.

A person leisurely eating late at night, the restaurant is not full, it may be that the chef has a problem with the taste. So it can't attract regular customers, so only first-timers like Yang Kun will come in.

The music in the store at night, accompanied by tofu pot, and soju, Yang Kun thinks such a night is very interesting. Especially when he was eating the food, he was thinking about the story of the manga in his mind, which is really interesting..

A sip of tofu, a sip of wine, a sip of soup, and a sip of wine, Yang Kun drank two bottles of soju slowly by himself. After the supper was over, he came out of the restaurant after paying the bill, and walked towards home with active thoughts after drinking.

Yang Kun stood on the pedestrian bridge of Itaewon on the way home and looked at the Namsan Tower in the distance. Under the bridge was a spacious road full of traffic.

And he supported the fence with both hands and looked at the scenery in front of him, the neon lights of Namsan Tower, the shop signs of Itaewon, and the bright red taillights of vehicles. This scene is the scene in the manga story.. "Manga, it seems that this place appeared?"

The cartoons he has read are like living stories in Yang Kun's mind, and he just looks at everything around him quietly. Music tunes and strong drum beats slowly formed in his mind. Yang Kun laughed.

He took his mobile phone and began to head back home, humming this song non-stop.

The next day, Yang Kun set off for the company early in the morning. The time when Yang Kun arrived happened to be the working hours of the employees. Like all the behind-the-scenes staff, Yang Kun came to the company before nine o'clock...Yang Kun directly entered the password of the company's Li Zhien studio and entered the studio .

At half past ten, Han Te and Li Zhien came to the company together. As soon as he entered the office, the staff behind the scenes said to Han Te: "Didn't you tell Yang Kun when to come to the company today? Yang Kun came to work at the company at about 8:40."

Li Zhien heard that Yang Kun came to 'work' at 8:40, she was a little surprised. Because Yang Kun's stage design work is all done, he doesn't have to come to the company at all. All he needs is to wait for the stage to be set up after their meeting today.

Li Zhien said curiously: "What is he doing in the company today? There is nothing else to do with him."

Hunter shook his head and said, "I don't know either, he should be in the studio, go and have a look."

Li Zhien nodded, and then headed towards the studio. She entered the password to enter her studio. When she opened the soundproof door, she heard the strong drumbeat from the studio.

Li Zhien entered the studio and watched Yang Kun sitting in front of the computer on the audio console editing music. Seeing Li Zhien arrive, Yang Kun said with a smile: "Here you come? I have finished the arrangement of 'OST', you came just in time, help me record it, I will sing a demo!"

Li Zhien was a little surprised when he heard that Yang Kun had finished the homework for 'OST'. He reminded him yesterday that he finished it as soon as he arrived today?

Li Zhien smiled and came to Yang Kun's side and patted him on the shoulder: "You don't need a demo, you can sing it yourself first, and I'll take a look first."

"Okay. Then I'm going to the recording room. This is the source track..." With that said, Yang Kun entered the recording studio... He took out his mobile phone and put it on the lyrics rack.

Li Zhien pressed the call button and said to Yang Kun in the recording room: "Aren't you going to type out the lyrics?"

"Uh, that's fine, I'll open my voice by the way." Yang Kun came out of the recording room again, and when he came out of the recording room, Yang Kun vibrated his voice by hanging his voice, which was convenient for opening his voice.

At this time, Han Te pushed open the door of the studio, and when he heard Yang Kun screaming like ghosts and wolves, his eyes widened in surprise: "What is it?"

Yang Kun smiled and came to the audio control side, and transferred the lyrics to the computer of the audio console. The user name of the computer of the audio console is connected to an iPad in the recording room, which can be used as a teleprompter. Yang Kun said with a smile: "Speak up, I'll ask Zhien to record for me!"

Han Te looked at Yang Kun strangely and said, "Recording?"

Yang Kun smiled and said, "OST." Only then did Han Te nod his head in understanding.

Yang Kun uploaded the lyrics to the computer in the studio, and Li Zhien said to Han Te, "Please help me to print out the lyrics."

"He doesn't know to go by himself?" Although Hunter said so, he still walked into the recording room, took the iPad, and went to print the lyrics.

Five minutes later, Han Te printed three copies of the lyrics and walked in. He himself took one copy, Li Zhien's sound controller placed one here, and Yang Kun took a copy to the recording room.

Yang Kun wore earphones, and when the music sounded, he began to sing the "Battle Song" of "Itaewon Class".

‘A new beginning always makes people feel throbbing, as if conquering everything..’

Under the supervision of Li Zhien, it took Yang Kun half an hour to complete the recording of this song. This 'OST' sounds very burning, and has a strong sense of fighting.

After Yang Kun came out of the recording studio, Han Te gave Yang Kun a thumbs up: "Oh~~ the song is very good! This feeling~~~ very passionate!"

Yang Kun laughed happily: "I went to Itaewon in person last night, and ate a kimchi tofu pot like a cartoon hero. On the way back, I suddenly felt a strong feeling, no I don’t know if it’s because I drank a few bottles of wine, my thoughts were instantly opened. This song was completed very quickly, and I think this song really fits the comic story!"

Li Zhien is also very satisfied with this song. She said with a smile: "I don't know if it fits the comics. I haven't read the comics anyway. However, the harmony part of the song does give people a sense of harmony." It's very burning, very passionate. Okay, that's it for the song, I'll pass it on to the crew later, is there anything else to be processed later?"

Yang Kun shook his head and said, "That's all. When I came in the morning, I had finished the post-production!"

"Okay. Han Te, you download the song and pass it on to the crew. The price... you are in charge of negotiating for Yang Kun!"

"Okay." Hunter took a 'USB' from the drawer in the recording studio and started downloading. And Yang Kun smiled happily: "I'll leave the song to you, Han Te. By the way, I still need to borrow the studio. I still have a song."

Li Zhien got up from the sound console, and she smiled: "Okay, take your time, Han Te and I are going to a meeting!"

After Han Te downloaded the music, he left the studio with Li Zhien. After they left, Yang Kun felt like he had forgotten something? But he couldn't remember it anymore, so...he simply didn't want to, he continued to sit in front of the console in the studio, and continued to complete his own music "Birds and Cicadas".
