章節 6: Chapter 4: Geon Finally Went to Audition
"I feel like throwing up."
"I'm so nervous."
"I'm next."
[Arkhe Entertainment] held an audition after 2 weeks.
It was exclusive for boys.
Many talented visuals aspiring to be an idol came.
Including Geon.
Except for the talented part-- joke! (You smiled:∆)
A few minutes later, a cute boy walked out from the studio (the place where the auditionees meet the auditioners to show their skills).
"Did you pass?" A tall boy approached him.
"Friends..." Geon sighed.
He would secretly steal glances at the two.
20 minutes later...
"Number 83. Choi Geon." A staff called out.
The 17-year-old boy confidently walked towards the staff, his visuals attracting the attention of many fellow auditionees.
"This way." He was then led inside the studio.
"Hello." Geon bowed 90° and introduced himself.
"I'm a magnet and I love it. My name is Choi Geon!"
Okay, that was unexpected.
The only ones present in the studio was him, the cameras, the staffs, and the 5 auditioners.
"..."
"..."
".."
"..."
"..."
Everyone was speechless, including himself.
'What a cringey fucking introduction.' Geon cursed in his mind.
It was his stragedy to pique the auditioner's attention.
"Ehem. You may show us what you prepared." One of them said.
Geon could be one in the two.
First, a charming fool who's better off as a comedian.
Second, a confident visual with the talent and brain.
However, Geon proved the auditioners' thoughts wrong.
Because he was both.
He gave the staff the copy of the song he was performing.
1
2
3
A very familiar instrumental song began to play on the background as Geon attempted to dance seductively.
[~Please let me
Please leave me
To bleed (alone)
I'm moving on (soon)
Just stay~]
Geon sang the chorus.
Although he lacks the experience and techniques, his charming voice makes up for it.
[~This never-ending suffering I'm feeling
This overwhelming desperation for healing
This wretched heart I try to hide
How am I still alive?
The way you'd set our date aside
When I loved you with all of my heart
Oh, how could you?
I told you~]
Geon rapped.
Contrary to his lacking vocals his rap shook the hearts of the auditioners.
The chorus hit and he sang again.
Then, just like the first verse, he rapped in the second verse.
[~This double-edged sword pierced on my soul
This one-sided love that left a huge hole
I died
How am I still alive?
The way you'd push my arms aside
When I know I had the right
Oh, how could you?
I told you~]
Geon stared at the auditioners, he was smiling but his eyes were begging.
[~Please let me
Please leave me
To bleed (alone)
I'm moving on (soon)
Just stay
Please let me
Please leave me
To breathe (alone)
I'm moving on (soon)
Just stay~]
Geon finished his perfomance with a whisper.
[~In my memories~]
•••
"Wow! It's been 2 weeks since you came to [Arkhe Entertainment] but I still can't believe that you failed." Youngchan tried to hide his evil smile as he stared at Geon's frowning face.
"I once saw you practicing in your room. Your performance was good. So what exactly made you fail?" Youngchan sighed.
"Oh, I cursed at one of the judges."
"WHAT?!"
[2 Weeks Ago, at [Arkhe Entertainment]...
"It was good."
"Your singing and rapping were stable."
"You have skills in dancing."
Geon smiled at the auditioner's remarks.
"Your voice is as charming as your face and personality, haha."
"It is said here in your resume that you studied in China for 3 years."
'If only you know the truth.'
"Wow!"
"My child's dream was to visit China."
"Oh, you also learned how to play the guitar at the age of 12."
The auditioners began to discuss things with each other.
"He has a good sense of rhythm."
"His body is very flexible."
"He has a talent in rapping."
"And his visuals are crazy."
"What about his vocals?"
"Sing again." The whole studio went silent.
It was Wang Hyeon.
The other auditioners shook their head in defeat.
He had always been like this.
He loves to do things step by step.
Yes, he is known as the genius producer from [Arkhe Entertainment].
But he's more than that.
Every song he made became a hit.
But there's this one problem about him.
Wang Hyeon is a very self-centered person.
A perfectionist at that.
Wang Hyeon's words are the truth-- the law.
He is the younger brother of [Arkhe Entertainment]'s CEO.
Plus, he is very hard to read and understand.
And no one know what's running inside his head.
"Pardon?" Geon maintained a smile.
"Judging from your resume, you seem to be from a wealthy family. How many languages do you know?"
Geon thought for a moment.
He was taught how to speak in English from a very young age while he learned Mandarin when he was in Shanghai, China.
He learned a few other languages in his 3 years as one of the elites in [Family].
"I learned 4 foreighn languages. English, Mandarin, Japanese, and Hindi." Geon anseered truthfully.
"Hmm... Then, can you sing an English song?" Wang Hyeon challenged...
Which Geon gladly accepted.
[~Come rest your heart next to me
Look through my eyes and you'll see
A surging storm within my soul
I swear I am fine
Even when my favorite person is gone
I will forever miss the tea
You would brew whole-heartedly
But I know, that I should smile with glee
For you are finally free-]
"Stop." Wang Hyeon yawned.
"Sing a song in Mandarin."
"Gladly."
[~One second ago
I was cool
Then, you passed by
I became a fool
Because of you
1, 2, 3...
I ha-ha-ha-hate you
Be-ca-ca-ca-cause of you
I fell in love
I fell hard~]
And so, Geon had to sing songs from 4 different countries.
However...
"You failed." The whole studio went silent.
"W-what?"
"S-sir--"
"But he has a lot of potetial-"
"And his visuals-"
"Enough." Wang Hyeon said in a harsh tone.
"He isn't cut out to be a trainee, much less an idol."
Geon's jaw dropped on the floor (not literally).
"If I may ask..."
He clenched his fists in frustration.
His voice is already hoarse because of the times he was told to sing.
"Why did I fail?"
Wang Hyeon scoffed at Geon's question.
"Ask yourself."
"The one who taught you must be an incom--"
"I taught myself... Sir."
"Who taught you? Your father? A professional?"
"I have neither of those..."
"Oh, a friend must've taught you--"
"I taught myself."
"Then, a--"
"I taught myself."
"Turn off the cameras."
"But--"
"Yes." The staff followed his orders.
Wang Hyeon's words are the truth- the law.
"Here we go again..."
"Poor, kid..."
"Shhh!"
Wang Hyeon glared at Geon.
"Can't you understand me, you stupid kid? You are so fucking stubborn. You. Are. Not. Cut--"
"Well, you have a fucking big mouth." Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
