(ch. 1 - ongoing) 

If there was one thing Cha Eunwoo was not a fan of, it was surprises.

To him, life was best experienced in a neat and orderly fashion - devoid of any and all distractions and carried out via a brisk routine that almost never altered. 

So that was exactly how he lived it. 

From a young age Eunwoo had known how his future would pan out. Or rather, how his parents had planned it to pan out at least. His family had always been successful and well-respected, meaning - of course - that he had their reputation to uphold. 

So far Eunwoo had experienced little to no difficulty in meeting their standards. Having been an Honor Roll student since the day he entered middle school and Seoul High’s Varsity Striker for three years running, he knew he had done well for himself thus far. The momentum seemed to be holding as well, as he had already received offers from multiple D1 schools (both in his home country and abroad) to continue his soccer career with them once he finished his senior year.

Yes, things were going well for the so-called “chosen one”. 

He liked his affairs calm, predictable and manageable - and for the last sixteen years of his life, this was so. He was handsome (not that he would ever admit that that was of any consequence to him), intelligent and very well-liked as far as high school reputations went. 

Jeong Seong Ha, more often referred to by his western name order, Sungha Jung, is a young folk and pop guitar player, born September, 2nd, 1996 (About Sungha Jung).  Sungha was discovered on YouTube, where he started posting videos at the age of nine. His first video was a cover of “Splash” by Kotaro Oshio, a famous Japanese jazz guitarist (YouTube). Sungha is now 22, and is writing music of his own. He’s released seven albums, and is sponsored by Lakewood Guitars (Wikipedia).

Sungha’s popularity has grown on YouTube over the past 12 years. His steady posting (once a week), has kept his subscribers interested and helped him gain more. He now has over 5 million subscribers, and some of his videos have over 58 millions views. Sungha posted many covers to gain views, and still does, but as he creates original pieces, he posts those as well (YouTube). All his covers he learnt by ear, only rarely using tabs if he could find the original artist’s version of them (About Sungha Jung).
