Ok I’m a lil confuse on why garam felt betrayed that the old guy invited the 5 other people, like why is it a big deal?
I’m guessing it was just the straw that broke the camels back. For a few chapters now garam been trying to make his shows about his own sound. The pieces he’d play and in what order, the stages he’d play on, the type of piano and the way he’d play and the meaning they’d have—to make his own sound, and every single time the prof would chime in or change his mind. I think he’s hurting because all of these accomplishments has been from the profs help and he thought for once he brought that crowd in himself, not from prof’s connections
they were having coversations about the professor letting loose on his grip on Garam and his career so Garam can make is own choices and can grow into his own artist and be successful without the help of his professor all the time. meanwhile the professor is not loosening his grip at all and keeps on arranging stuff for Garam. he‘s doing it out of love and because he wants Garam to succeed but at the same time it seems like he doesn't have the trust in Garam to be able to handle his career by himself.
so although the prof meant well, he was not honest with Garam and broke his promises
Because lately, prof has granted him more "freedom" and even went as far as to tell him to take care of everything to learn responsibility. Turns out he didn't really mean any of that, and Garam feels like he's been pushed around for nothing and that he has yet to prove his own worth without prof's help, who keeps interfering.









How old is the professor?
40
He might be a bit older after Garam though considering they had a time skip. I think that's the age when Heejae started dating Garam though
He's 45, he was born in 1978
Yeah i only realised after posting that, still hes somewhere in his forties rn
Do you know how old Garam is?
Hes 25 then cause their age gap is 20 years
Are they in the year of 2024? It would make sense considering Garam went to Geum in the year of 2019. And ima assume they went to New York in the year of 2020. Another year spent in newyork and then Garam did his debut which follows up with a 2 year time skip.
In one of the later chapters, Heejae and Garam spoke about when Heejae debuted? (i think, i don't remember if its his debut year but it was something to do with 2003) in 2003 I think and garam spoke about in 2003, heejae was garam current age and heejae joked that in 2003, garam was 3 years old so it's leads to believe that Garam may be born in 2000 or 1999.
Im sorry I can't really remember the exact translation so I'll update tomorrow if I remember lol.
I'm pretty sure it was mentioned in one of the comment section on here on garam age so if you go back a few pages, you can find it.
My Mom has the same age gap bruh. Someone could mistake Heejae as the dad of Garam. ╥﹏╥
