hi! hope you’re doing okay x
it’s ran, i worked on kija’s cover for his latest single. he told me you might need me for somebody’s project you’ve been working on?

hello ran, it's jihwan
well, you knew that already
indeed, i really loved your artwork and i wonder if you'd be open for some more commissions

hehe i did indeed — i actually were careful to write down your name for your contact instead of writing where i know you from like i usually do 8)
i’m totally open for commissions! did you already know what the project might look like?

that's good. i don't know how many random producers you know, you might forget who i am
i think it'd be a bit darker than for kija's song. the song is bittersweet but with undertones of light
i think it'd really suit your style

you might actually be the first? i never did a single cover before kija’s — in a way i guess it’s my first « professional » project, yk?
but to be fair, i don’t think i would forget your name. somebody sent me the video you made about my work and i have to say i’m extremely grateful for the kind words you used, it was extremely sweet of you and it gave me quite a boost to hear about that

ohhhh i’m so down for some bittesweet, softcore lightcore vibes! do you think it might be possible to listen to the song ahead? it kinda helps setting the mood

i kinda wish you wouldn't have seen that... is it possible for you to forget you saw it or is it too late already ?
i do really appreciate you work, but people on the internet have called me a simp, which doesn't go well with the cool and mysterious part of my personnality, ya know
you're really talented and i hope we can collaborate further in the future to show your talents to more people

that's awesome, thanks for being interested
i can't send you the song, but i could definitely manage to give you a preview if you were to come to the studio
would that be possible for you? whenever you're free obv

i’m not sure i can forget anything about it…… maybe i can pretend i never saw it, even though you already know i did? we can never talk about it again and it’d be like i didn’t watch it
you shouldn’t be embarrassed though, i found it very touching and… just, nice, you know? i really appreciated it, and it helped in feeling legitimate with what i do, with what i’m trying to build. people tend to forget to say when they like something, so it was really cool to see the opposite — and even cooler for me since it’s my work which is concerned. also, simp are actually pretty cool, people just don’t realize it yet
i’d very much like working with you again!! i really enjoyed what you did with kija, i’m so curious what you may be doing with another project!

we can absolutely see for me to come to the studio! i might be a bit busy this week, i have to prepare for college and stuff — but maybe the next? i’d have to confirm to you though, i have to see what my schedule will be. i’ll definitely tell you when i’m free

i'm glad you appreciated it, everything i said is sincere
i'm also relieved that i didn't sound like a fool, i tend to ramble if i'm left to my own device (if you haven't noticed yet, you will)
awesome, i'm really looking forward to work with you. let me know whenever you're free, i'll arrange everything
you live two very interesting lies: college girl by day and secret bound to be famous artist by night

you sounded extremely passionate somehow, not at all like a fool. also, please keep rambling — i'm sooooo down to listen to it, especially if you're creating at the same time
i will, for sure! as soon as i have my schedule you will find me proposing dates and stuff

i mean, dates where i'm free. when we can meet
like
not dates-dates yk

hehehe i don't know if i'm bound to be famous, but i can admit i've been more solicited lately.... i might not be able to honor every projects (which is actually so cool??). but i'm a bit young, and i want to at least get my master before truly jumping into work
have you been a producer for long?
