Arena Chapter 80 – Bella (Part 2)
I started researching violins on the internet
The first thing I learned was that they were ridiculously expensive?
The violin itself is crazy expensive, so is the bow, and the case they go in is expensive too
On the internet shopping hest price and looked in the rand
It said it as fro like that in the description
For so a violin like this would be like putting pearls on a pig
'Ok, order'
Wel,l who cares, I' in money
As a corand violin
When I get good, I'll buy the most expensive one
I just went ahead and called the seller and asked for expedited delivery
”Yes, we can send it right away”
As a buyer purchasing an expensive item, the seller was very compliant
”As long as it's a good product, I'll order right away”
”Well, if you do we'd be grateful No need to worry about the product If there is a defect in such a grand item, that would be a problem”
Then that takes care of the violin, now back to surfing the web
In the Bucheon area, I' for a violin instructor
There are rather a lot of specialists looking for jobs so it wasn't hard
-hello?
It was a woman's voice Some name brand music school was listed in the blurb and her voice sounded about that age
”You teach violin? I ae”
-Ah, yes!
”I am a complete noob, and I have a child froood”
-Oh, does the child speak Korean?
”None at all She can't even say my name”
The wohed
-I understand First, I'll meet and see the level and then decide
”Yes”
-When should I come by?
”Immediately, today”
-Excuse me? Oh, yes, what time today?
”Would 8 pm work?”
-Sure
Hs this easy
A few hours later, the delivery came by and dropped off the violin
”Bella”
Bella, who had been in her roo the violin, ran out
”Look at this”
Bella's eyes shi+ned bright and she touched my violin
She tried to lift it and put it under her chin but it was too big and she couldn't get the grip right Haha, even that is so cute
But she persevered and ed to lift the bow too
”How is it?”
I raised my thumb and asked Bella nodded her head and raised her thumb the same way
Hood
We fidgeted with the violin together and while Min-jeong prepared dinner for us
Today was a feast too and I told Min-jeong
”You must be tired Make it simpler from now on”
”I have the Korean food cooking certification skills exaet the certificate I'llstart cooking simpler meals”
”I'ood”
”Hehe”
Atput on a bashful expression What, why is she like this Not cocky like before
We ate and then watched some TV and at 8 pm, the tutor I called arrived
”Ah, hello”
”Please, come in”
Min-jeong greeted the music tutor
Min-jeong glanced atinstinct
But the ht
With long straight hair like Min-jeong's was before she cut it, with clear features, it allface
”Rest easy I'll go bring some snacks, yubo
(TN: An endearing way of calling soh pronounced yoh bo)
At Min-jeong's words, I flinched and nodded my head
”Uh, okay, do that, yubo”
”Your wife is a beauty”
”Isn't she?”
”She is very young”
”Yes, she looks young for her age”
But really, she is young She is only in her early 20's
Min-jeong probably has her ears raised in the kitchen and was listening to this conversation
I introduced Bella and then started the lesson
”Youmusic”
”Yes”
”And Bella is about a Suzuki level 2”
”What is a Suzuki?”
After listening to the explanation, it is the most famous 10 book violin instruction I wonder if it is easy to level 3 and then incredibly difficult henceforth?
It is such a popular teachingast them
I learned to read the music
Bella, who had been listening on the side, followed like a parrot to the teacher It suddenly became a simultaneous Korean lesson
I was hard at work taking notes as I went along and Min-jeong brought us snacks and with lynx-eyes looked at the teacher and me
Like that, the 2-hour lesson was over
”How many lessons would you like a week?”
Asked the teacher
”Is every day possible?”
”Um, every day?”
”Yes, I will pay handsomely”
The teacher consented
Now that I had learned how to read the an
The violin is a disgustingly difficult instru the sound isn't easy But still, the teacher was surprised
”How did you learn so fast?”
”Is this fast?”
Having practiced a week and it being a feat to ood sound, it made me dubious
”You are very quick The reason office workers atteive up is because of the time it takes to make the proper sound”
Is that so?
What a cursed instrument
I now realized how great violinists are
”Bella is incredible”
Iwith ease by my side
Bella opened her eyes wide and I gave her a thumbs up to say that she's the best
Bella gave a big smile
”Ugh, so cute”
”She is”
