9.23% [QT:] System! This Prince Doesn't Want To Be An Idol Popstar! / Chapter 18: I Am Not A Prince Here!

Capítulo 18: I Am Not A Prince Here!

Clearing his throat and calming his heated skin, he thought about home. Closing his eyes, he tried to remember what it felt like walking barefooted on the grass and hiding in the gardens. He tried to remember what the smell of his mother's was and the curl of his father's hair. He tried to remember his siblings and the way they spoke.

His heart grew heavy the more he thought about home, his kingdom, his family. Placing the pen to the paper, he began writing.

*Task completed. Earned points.*

Quang Zhi was grinning so wide, it made his cheeks heard. Glancing at his fellow co-owner, he could not help but be thankful for the woman. Somehow, she did it and now they have not 1 but 3 to represent them! His brown eyes looked at Ping, Shun, and Kiki. Each trainees had a good enough following that would help promote their studio well.

"You're scaring the kids," Ling Mei laughed pushing him lightly.

"Shun, Kiki, and Ping, come here," he called out and the boys came to them, "Listen. You will be heading to the preform against the other trainees from the other studios. Do you best and win for us!"

"What he means is to enjoy yourself and be respectful. We know you are capable in reaching high. Do not feel bad if you lose. We will still be here to welcome you back," Manager Ling said and Shun smiled at her.

"Are you guys still creating a group?" He asked and they nodded, "Awesome! When we get in the group, maybe we can do a collab with the group you create with Wen Dong in it."

"…"

"…"

Shun continued to smile and then he heard the laughter from the managers.

"I see. You are confident, Shun. I must be honest. You surprised me. From doing well to fainting to being a wet noodle, to doing well again," Master Quang cupped his shoulder, "Keep your confidence, Shun. That goes for all of you. Now, go practice before you leave."

He waved them away from him and looked over at Ling Mei who also looked at him. They shared a smile and a nod. Things were working out and he never felt so full of hope before. Looking over at Wen Dong, he had to admit the boy had grown in his singing ability.

'Maybe…'

Later that day, Shun was at Suu Jin's house for last minute singing lessons before he goes to the competition and Jin goes on a promotional tour for his new album. Currently eating the meal Shun made, Jin was watching the recorded video. Nodding, he looked over at awaiting eyes.

"You've definitely had gotten better, Shun. You must really want to be an idol."

"Yes! I want to be like you, Jin. Kind, perfect, and skilled in everything. I mean, I don't think I will reach perfect status like you, but I hope to reach close to it," Shun explained.

"I'm not perfect, Shun," the idol stated and turned to look at his meal, "I just have a good team that make it look like I am."

"Well…" Shun got up and brought their plates to the sink to wash, "A team can only make you look as good as you are. If you were not perfect, there would be no way they would be able to hide your flaws from everyone for so long. I mean, from what Ah Ping said, you've been an idol star since you were 14."

Shun finished cleaning, placed the dishes on the rack, then returned to his the bar stool under the island.

"I always had a bunch of people tell me how to behave, how to act, and how to speak. But there was no way they would be able to hide the fact that I would run away and avoid everyone," Shun explained with a small laugh.

"I see…" Shun saw green eyes narrowed slightly and he found his smile slowly fell.

'Was I… oh my gawd, I am not a prince here! I keep forgetting when I am with him!'

"I mean, you are truly a perfect prince, Jin," Shun continued quickly, "You are a true gentleman, respectful, and so pure."

"Hm…"

"Like who could-"

Fingers covered his lips and he blinked wide brown eyes into green ones. There were amusement in them and he relaxed slightly. The fingers pulled away and he heard the soft laugh from the idol.

"That is enough compliment. My ego will be bigger than my body if you continue."

Shun laughed and they moved to the piano room to practice his singing and dancing. He was very grateful to Suu Jin. When the time came for them to part, they kissed softly. He still wasn't sure what their relationship was, but he enjoyed the idol prince. He was learning a lot from him and he hoped he could continue working with the pinkette.

Suu Jin went to his piano when the young man left. He played a melody he had been working on. He smiled softly and looked down at his fingers and sang gently.

"There are no words that I could say, no labels that would make sense."

Today was the day. It was time for them to head to the idol competition. Shun had posted on Weebo and posted a picture of himself in InstaMe. With a pair of extra clothes, he entered the car that pulled up. Pulling out his phone, he was about to go live for his fans, but a man who was driving him told him to put his phone away.

"No phones from now. You will be filmed 24/7."

"What?" Shun found his eyes widened and he could feel his skin crawling. Being filmed 24/7?! He… He would have to be perfect 24/7?!

"Oh… okay."

He was quiet as he looked around the car to see if there were cameras around. He held his bag close to him as he just stared out of windo-


Capítulo 19: It Scared The Crap Out Of Him

It was blacked out. Rubbing his face, he closed his eyes and tried to settle into the back seat.

'Wait… witch, if I don't have my phone, how will I know if I am progressing?' He frowned and his fingers itched to check his phone. He saw the screen appeared like it did before entering his phone.

*Use points?*

Shun did his best not to stare at the screen.

"Yes," he whispered rubbing his upper lip to hide his lips.

*Points used- mental link*

'What does that mean?' Shun frowned.

*Mental link- answer mentally.*

Shun's eyes widened for a moment, before he nodded happy to know he did not need to speak aloud. How odd would people feel with him talking to himself. They would think he was crazy.

'Just like the old man back home,' he remembered.

Shaking his head, he wondered what was going to be asked of him. He was losing his phone, so… does that mean he wouldn't get to use it at all? Inwardly groaning, he really should have read the contract before signing it. He was just so excited and that darn witch said it was a task to win.

"I wonder if we are picking Ah Ping up too," he wondered aloud and attempted to look out the window, only to realize he couldn't see anything.

Sighing, he just went through his stats and tasks again. Lulled by the drive, he fell asleep with his head resting against the back of the seat. He didn't know how long he slept, but he was shaken to wake. Blinking over at the driver, he felt the drool slipping down the corner of his lips. Quickly wiping it off with the back of his hand, he cleared his throat and nodded thanks to the driver. Grabbing his bag, he exited the car to see a large compound in the distance.

"You'll walk down the road to the compound. There will be someone to explain what to do next," the driver stated and Shun thanked them. Walking down the path, he looked around to see so many trees. It felt like he was in the forest and a part of him wondered if this was to hide prying eyes from what was happening.

'This feels… weird,' he frowned to himself, 'I mean, what if they do something bad! I wouldn't know where I could go for help. This is a bad idea, witch. Why couldn't I just stay at the studio with Wen Dong and be in the group Manager Quang and Manager Ling is making?!'

*…*

'Of course you have nothing to say…' he rolled his eyes, 'You just want me to take longer with your magic. Fine! I will play, but I WILL become an idol and then I will find you!'

He said determined and walked down the path with vigor. When he could see the 2 leveled building in marbled white, he found his eyes big. This place was magnificent, similar to pearls found in the deepest oceans from his past. They were so rare, people killed one another for them. He wondered if people would kill each other for this building.

"Xiong Shun," a woman spoke up and he walked to her, "Your electronics, please."

"Are we not going to get to use our phones at all? Not even for pictures?"

"No electronics in the building. Everything would be filmed and used for the television show. You've signed the contract and waiver. Did you not read it?" The female looked at him with a blank stare and he wiped his face offering a wavering smile.

She shook her head and pointed to the door when he handed his phone over. She explained to just keep walking straight through and paused at the white dot on the floor. Thanking her, Shun followed the direction. He pulled the door opened and walked through the blank walls. Such a small corridor made him feel claustrophobic, but he told himself to breathe.

'Breathe Shun. You are not locked in the cabinet. You are not home. You are not 5,' he reminded himself, 'You have to do this for Xiong Shun and everyone.'

Stopping at the white dot on the floor, nothing happened for a moment. He looked around wondering if there was another white dot somewhere, but the wall before him suddenly parted. Brown eyes widened, he blinked as the bright light flooded his eyes. Rubbing them, he heard a voice he recognized.

"Gege!"

'Ping?'

His eyes adjusted and he smiled over at the young boy. He took a step forward, but felt his foot wavered underneath him. The floor he was standing on was moving and he fell onto his butt with his jaw dropping in shock.

'Magic!' He cried inwardly, 'Witch! What are you doing?!'

*…*

"Shun!" Ping had ran over to a sitting Shun, who was staring at the floor with shock coloring every part of his face and body, "Sit with Kiki and me!"

Shun felt himself being dragged with his wobbly feet. When he came out of his shock, he heard greeting toward him. Clearing his head, he smiled and greeted everyone in the room. More trainees joined, none of them looked as terribly shocked as he was. Maybe this contraption was normal for the other trainees, but not for him!

It scared the crap out of him!

"Ah Shun! Look, Kaiden is here too!" Ping whispered to him buzzing in his seat, "He is really good. I hope we become friends."

"How could he not? You're too cute," Shun patted the boy's head and received a bright smile.

He looked at the well-known trainee and greeted him when the man settled in a seat. Then, a voice spoke up from a speaker somewhere in the room. Shun was looking around the place and wondered if this was the witch. Did the witch planted him to come to this place and trapped him? Was this where it was going to kill them with its magic?

"Trainees, welcome to Project Idol: Finding the Next Idol Group."

Shun joined in the claps, still suspicious of the witch's magic involved.

*…*

'You can't tell me you aren't involved.'

*…*

"Come to the stage and preform your prepared dance and song."

The speaker stated and Shun felt his blood run cold. What… what?! He was to prepare something?! He… He didn't know! He looked over at Ping who was speaking with Kiki and he frowned. Why didn't his little friend tell him he needed to bring something?!

"Ah Ping, did you know?" He whispered.

"Of course, gege," Ping smiled, "Don't worry, Kiki and I prepared something. What are you going to do?"

"Why… Why didn't you prepare with me too? Kiki?"
