Capítulo 7: I Will Cook!

"No way. Suu Jin, your voice… I could never sing it better and I didn't know it was your song. I wouldn't have sung it otherwise."

"Just call me Jin," the pink haired man let out a soft laugh, "There are places for improvements and don't worry Shun. I didn't sing it. I wrote it," he tilted his head slightly to the side and watched the young artist.

"You sang with such emotions, Shun. What were you thinking about?"

Shun looked away for a moment as those missed moments replayed in his mind.

'No, not missed. Not like he liked men like me anyways…'

"Just thinking about my own lost chances…"

Jin nodded and reached out to hold his arm.

"Putting your emotions into your music is good, Shun. It was well sung. Let's work on the technicality of your voice and tone."

He smiled and he followed closely to what Suu Jin said. Singing from the chest, singing from the head, the changes in tone, and working with the texture of his voice. Before he knew it, someone entered the space to tell the idol it was time for him to leave.

"Thank you, Senior Jin, for your time," he bowed low.

"I'm not that much older than you…" Suu Jin sweatdropped with a smile.

"But you are more experienced," Shun laughed and headed to the front door with the idol, "Should I come tomorrow?"

"I'll be free at night tomorrow. I should be here 18:00. Is that late for you?"

"I'll come whatever time you are free Senior Jin. I appreciate you," he bowed in thanks again before leaving the nice home to head to the studio. He noted the screen said his singing went from 20%-> 23% and his confidence increased from 42% -> 48%.

*Reached Level 2: Singing- Vocal Color*

"What does that mean?" Shun questioned.

*Vocal Color*

"Even the witch doesn't even know," he shook his head as he headed to the studio.

Suu Jin smiled and entered his car when the young trainee left his home. His driver took him to the photoshoot to find his fanclub was already there with signs and flashing cameras. Reporters were also there ready to get any words from him and he sighed. His two bodyguards stood before his door and he stepped out with pasted smiles. He waved and threw heart kisses to his fans.

"Suu Jin," one of the reporters called out, "Have you found a girlfriend yet?"

"Suu Jin," another asked, "Taki stated you attacked him, is that true?"

"Suu Jin, what do you say to Lisa's interest in you?"

"I do not have a girlfriend and Lisa is beautiful. I would love to work with her in future projects," he smiled showing his left dimple, "As for the attack Taki accused me of, that is something being taken care of privately."

"Suu Jin, Suu Jin," the reporters called out and he excused himself into the building.

His hair was fixed and his outfit was chosen for him. Posing the way they wanted him to. Smiled the way they wanted him to. Everything… the way they wanted him too.

Always for them.

At the studio, Shun was proud that he could just about follow the song as well as the others. Well, not as great as Tee or Wen Dong, but well enough that he didn't stick out like a wet noodle. Even the managers noticed.

"Great news everyone!" Manager Ling Mei spoke up, "The recruiters will arrive sometime next week, so practice hard but be sure your health is in good condition. This is your last chance to get into the show."

"Wow, really?!" "I can't wait!" "Let's keep practicing."

The young men were buzzing with excitement and Shun laughed when Ping grabbed onto him, jumping up and down. Heading home, he showered and found himself smiling. It… Becoming an Idol Popstar like that witch said was pretty fun for him.

The screen popped up and a red flashing *Update required* glared at him.

"How do I update you? I can't even touch you," Shun furrowed his brows.

*Update now?*

"Yes."

*One moment*

He saw the loading symbol and he wondered if there was an issue with the thing. The screen flickered before the loading sign disappeared.

*Update completed. New tasks available. Completed task- gain singing lessons from Suu Jin. Earned points. Completed task- increase dancing ability with Tee. Earned points. Miscellaneous added.*

"Can you show me what the new tasks are?"

*New tasks: Create Weebo account. Add 100 pictures to Instame.*

"Just 2 new ones? Let's see… I still have to get into the show..." Shun sighed and decided to make a Weebo account. "A selfie… eh, I'll do it tomorrow. What is the Miscellaneous?"

*Miscellaneous category: Confidence 48% Charisma 34% Memory 29%*

He nodded through the yawn and went to bed.

Heading to the studio the next day, he danced and told his friends he wanted to take pictures.

"Pictures? Aren't you the paranoid guy avoiding social media?" Wen Dong quirked his brow.

"Well, if we are going to be idols, I will have to get used to it. Besides, it is the best way to make fans, right?"

In the end, he took five pictures with his friends before heading to meet with Suu Jin. Knocking on the door, he waited and waved at the people watching him. The door opened and he saw the pink haired idol smiling tiredly at him.

"Come in, Shun."

He entered and waited for Suu Jin to show him where to go.

"I hope you don't mind. I'm just going to grab something from the fridge."

"You didn't eat at all?"

"Had a busy day," Jin offered a comforting smile, "A shake will be enough."

"Wait…" Shun frowned, "You could make dinner, Senior Jin. I could sing while you cook."

"Well…" Suu Jin hesitated and scratched his cheek, "I don't really know how to cook."

"…"

"Don't worry, Shun. I will just-"

"But… you have money. You could hire a cook…"

Green eyes searched his face and his lips straightened.

"No."

"…"

"Maybe you should leave, Shun."

"I did not mean anything by it. Please forgive me, Senior Jin," Shun bowed and his eyes brightened, "I will cook for you!"

Suu Jin stared with blinks at the young man.

"What?" He questioned softly unsure if he heard right.

Capítulo 8: Eyes Open

"Since you are taking your time to help me with my singing, I will cook you food. I have been feeling pretty bad for just getting free lessons. I feel terrible and now this actually even things out, right?" Shun smiled as charmingly as he did when he was a prince. He really hoped Suu Jin agreed because what he said was true. He did feel bad and even worse seeing the idols condition.

'Why did Jin have to work so hard?'

"Alright…"

"Great! Okay. You could shower if you want. I'll make a quick meal so I don't take too much of your time, Senior Jin."

Suu Jin just stared at the black haired boy. He then smelled himself and agreed, he needed a shower. Still hesitant to leave the young man alone in his home, he watched Shun moving around his kitchen. Hiding behind the wall and poking his head off the edge to peer at the young man, it didn't look like the boy was going to burn his house down.

"A quick shower then," Jin whispered to himself.

In the kitchen, Shun was reminded when he had joined the cooks a few times to hid from his parents. He would join in on cooking meals and picked up a few things. Although Jin did not have much in his fridge, he was able to make an omlette with rice. Plating it, he turned to see Jin with a towel around his neck. With a simple shirt and night bottoms, Shun could still see the water dripping down his hair.

"Just in time, Senior Jin," Shun grinned and placed the plate before him, "Sorry. This was all I could make right now."

"It smells good," Jin admitted and his mouth watered.

"While you eat, I'll do vocal warmups. Is that alright?"

Jin nodded and took a bit of the omlette. He listened to Shun practice and he couldn't help taking interest in the young man. He definitely had potential in being an idol and Jin hummed to himself. Finishing up the meal, he sat back and rubbed down his hair with the towel.

"Shun, sing the ballad again."

Shun smiled and nodded. Closing his eyes, he proceeded to begin, but Jin spoke up.

"Eyes open, Shun. It's okay to close it sometimes, but don't keep it close the entire time you sing. You won't be able to connect with your audience and fans."

"But… I sing better with it closed…"

Jin watched Shun sit beside him and he decided the only way to explain to the green boy was to show him.

"You laughed and I am captivated, won't you capture me, baby," Jin sang staring right into those brown eyes, "I wish you could hear how my heart is beating for you. Will you listen baby? Will we ever know how it would end, where we could be? Oh~ Lost chances."

Suu Jin hummed toward the end and stopped singing to see the redness coloring Shun's cheeks. Brown eyes looked big as they stared at him. Lips were parted and he found himself smirking.

"Do you understand the difference?"

Shun flushed harder and cleared his throat. He yelled inwardly at his heart to calm down. He just… Jin just… No wonder that man was an idol with the charm he had, that captivating tone, and his beauty! Shun would have to learn a lot from the man in order to become an Idol popstar.

'He was a true prince!'

"Yes…" Shun breathed out and quickly covered himself with a cough.

"Your turn."

He nodded and stared at Jin for a few seconds before singing from his heart. He did his best to keep his eyes on the handsome idol before him as he sang. He felt vulnerable, raw, and when he finished, he quickly looked away.

*Confidence 48% -> 46%* *Singing ability 23%-> 27%*

"Shun, that was very good," Jin said softly and he turned to see soft green eyes, "Ah Ping was right. You have potential and you really could become an idol."

"Really?" Shun breathed out a smile, "Thank you Jin. I should let you sleep."

"Alright. I would be busy for a few days, Shun. You can call me if you need to."

"Ah, you are too kind to me, Senior Jin," Shun softened his smile, "You are so busy and still wish to help a low person like me."

A hand gripped his bicep and he blinked his brown eyes at the idol. Green eyes narrowed and there was a deep frown on the pinkette's face.

"Never think you are low or high. People are people Shun. We live differently, but that does not change who we are. Do you understand?"

Shun nodded and heard the sigh from the handsome man. Those words continued to play in his mind as he drove home, showered, and even when he was lying in bed.

He signed into Weebo and took a picture of himself for the profile picture. After completing the account, he decided he would post that quote his senior told him. This way, he would remember it every time he logged in. Going into his InstaMe, he saw he already had friends request. Accepting them, since they were all his fellow trainees, he posted the pictures he took earlier.

*Completed task- Create Weebo account. Earned points. Use points now?*

"Why? What do I get?"

*Use points now?*

"Sure," Shun shrugged and figured it must be good. The last one he got to learn about Xiong Shun's past.

*New Friend.*

"New friend? What is that?"

*New friend.*

"… What does it do?"

*New friend.*

"You don't want to tell me…"

*…*

"Fine."

* Completion in 33 hours.*

"… 33 hours."

*Completion in 33 hours.*

Shun rolled his eyes. Whoever was controlling this system thing probably had no idea what they were doing. Why offer him a prize if it can't be completed right away? He slipped under his covers and closed his eyes.

'As long as they don't mess up my way to reach Xiong Shun's dream, then the witch can do whatever it wants.'
