Chương 34: X Performance 2

"You can call me Hyung too you know"

Kwon Ji-yong said as he was with Junho in the studio who had asked for his guidance, he knew Junho was a vocalist first dancer second and rapper last to his surprise he was the one Junho called to be his mentor for this week.

"Hyung"

It felt weird to him as Ji-yong was respected and had the nickname of 'King of K-Pop'

"That's better, I actually am surprised that you asked for my help I thought You'd ask Lee Hyori or JYP since they know you better."

"No, for my current situation I think you're the best to teach me what I want to know."

"And that is?"

"Rapping."

"Then You've asked the right person but I wonder how Seung-Hyeon would feel after hearing you not that it matters."

"Can you guide me? I'm not that good at rapping, and I've only finished the vocals but I can't hammer out the rap part"

"And you want me to finish writing the lyrics or?"

"I've finished everything already I just want to know how you think I can rap if it suits the song."

"Shoot."

Junho nodded and went straight to the booth, Junho nodded signaling Ji-yong to play the music. As soon as the music started Ji-yong bopped his head, he liked the song shortly he began rocking with it not minding Junho butchered most of it but still.

After three minutes of performing a new beat then started.

"No way."

Junho smiled and waved at him, Ji-Yong was at a loss but as soon as the music started again he was ecstatic, he liked both songs especially this one as he felt it was identical to his style, as soon as Junho finished both songs.

"How was it Hyung?"

"Damn even I want to perform it myself but I'll hold it in, give me the lyrics."

Junho nodded an Ji-yong entered the booth and nodded at Junho the beat then started.

"Watch How I rap alright? It's up to you but it's best if you find your own style I'll just give you a guide besides when you release this feature me as your payment."

Ji-yong laughed and so did Junho, soon Ji-yong did his magic and Junho took notes as he listened, he felt that this was how it should be, knowing something and actually performing it were different things that's why he was glad that Ji-yong didn't hold back.

It took them half the day as Ji-yong didn't stop, he wanted to see Junho succeed in his performance as he liked his attitude he didn't care if the trainee's would complain what he wanted was to help herald the new generation and saw Junho as one of them.

"I was sure you would call for Jae-seung for the dance training"

Bae yoon jung asked him earnestly.

"Actually It's not for me but it's for the back up dancers."

"Eh?"

"Yeah, I do have the option of having back up dancers right? because of not then I'll just continue practicing on my own."

Bae yoon jung and Junho looked at the staff who was at a loss, the request was too sudden even Yoon Jung didn't expect that she was called to choreograph for the back up dancers as Junho said the staff then began calling the higher ups while Yoon Jung asked Junho.

"Tell me why?"

She felt happy that Junho had also asked for her advice, he had been a good kid teaching everyone he had encountered now it felt like it was her time to teach him and so she agreed.

"Can I perform the song where I only need the back up dancers if its okay with you?"

"Sure go ahead."

"I already have the initial parts down but."

"Let me guess you need women as your backup dancers and you need me to choreograph their parts?"

"Yeah, Kinda."

"Well then let's have it."

Junho then began playing the songs, Bae Yoon Jung couldn't stop smiling as he saw Junho's performance it allowed for him to do his best and at the same time give justice to the female back up dancers.

She especially like the lyrics he wrote, she initially wanted to decline it but as soon as she heard it her heart melted as it was a sweet song she then decided.

"Don't forget me in the future alright?"

"Is that a yes?"

"If the staff says you can use back up dancers then it is."

The two of them then looked at the staff who nodded.

"Ah I wish I was young again I wanted to dance this too, I'll call my girls instead I'm sure they'll love this too."

Junho smiled as he got the results he wanted, he then proceeded to teach Bae Yoon Jung that needed emphasis on the choreography as it was the key to make it memorable and unforgettable performance

"You've been practicing a lot."

Jinyoung said as he prepared dinner for the boys.

"Yeah I don't have much time so I'm gonna do what I can."

"I miss your cooking Hyung, Jinyoung-hyung only knows how to cook burnt egg."

"Hey!"

"You have to deal with it for awhile Sungjae, so how are the two of you doing?"

"We're doing fine me, Seung-kwan, Yugyeom and Sungjae are together so its harder for them to gang up on the four of us."

"Things sure did get personal fast."

"Yeah cause you didn't choose him."

The three of them knew who they referred to, in Jinyoung's and Sungjae's perspective they sided with Junho and began hating on Kyung-so, in Junho's perspective it was perhaps Kyung-so's words got lost in translation and was exaggerated but that didn't change the fact that he looked down on him.

"So this is a plot line now huh."

The judges were at the meeting room as soon as a new episode was being shown, it was Kyung-soo's comments about Junho and the subsequent fall of his scores after choosing people from Class D and E.

"Well we needed some sort of Drama plus I heard M.S. wants to get in touch with Kyung-soo."

Minsu said as the judges nodded, even though they wanted to recruit him as well they decided to back off and give face to M.S.

"Alright back to the main topic, why are the two of you so secretive today."

Ji-yong and Yoon Jung looked at each other and shortly laughed.

"It's a secret."

"We won't tell its best if all of you watch his solo debut this sunday."

Everyone raised their eyebrows as hearing Ji-yong talking about a Solo Debut was a big compliment already now they were even curious.

"It's just sad."

He then followed it up and looked at Hyun-suk

"Why?"

"Because you didn't get to recruit him first now Pegasus will reap the rewards."

JYP laughed as soon as he heard Ji-Yong.

"Do you want to switch agencies then?"

"I'll pass, I still owe Galaxy for my career and I'm sticking with them until the end."

"Aigo my heart, stop talking about it you make me want to plan a comeback for you, Oh I think I pressed the dial button, Yes Hello? Bear? How is the progress of their next album? You're starting? Thank you"

Everyone laughed as soon as they heard the banter but shortly

"No Seriously what did he make to make you two shut up?"

"Like he said, watch out for Ruler."
