Chereads / Becoming A K-pop Idol / Chapter 5 - Time Flies

Chapter 5 - Time Flies

Jaemin was currently fifteen years old.

He looked in the mirror again, butt naked.

He had only become prettier over the years. He had grown a lot of centimeters as well. You could also see his muscles were developing greatly, his sixpack was already showing.

His 'little brother' also had a very good development, he was a healthy male for sure, kekeke.....

He also had found a way to get SP, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when thinking about it. He had truly been worried, if he hadn't found a way to gather skill points by the time he was fourteen, then he would have already missed a few golden oppurtunities that he couldn't afford to miss. He had truly been foolish, not even trying coming up with the most simple solutions. He had just joined a dance academy when he turned eight and started practicing, and it seems that was the key all along.

He had gotten this message from the system:

[ Ding! ]

[ Hidden requirements met! ]

[ Loading beginner quest.... ]

[ Complete! ]

[ Quest: Can you even call this dancing? ]

{ Your dancing skills are even worse than a disabled elder! You have two left feet which make it look like you are having a standing seizure! Put forth all of your effort in your so called 'dancing' for more than 2 hours straight! }

[ Reward: 10 SP ]

My reaction was at the time, a bit fierce:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I know I'm bad at dancing, but seriously a disabled ELDER?!"

"Your dad is a disabled elder, you little....."

"I have one right foot okay?! Your mom can eat this deity's left foot!"

"A standing seizure, a seizure looks a lot different OK?!"

"I'll make your sister have a seizure, you system trash!"

"'Foolish 'System', eat this daddy's shit!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

He couldn't help but marvel at these majestic, royal comments. Truly the words of a mature adult. It's probably his new body affecting him....

This young, healthy body is affecting him in other 'special' areas as well hihihi.

That aside, he had gotten a few other quests for his other skills as well. As for the names of those quests, errrrrr....

[ Quest: Are you tone-deaf? ]

[ Quest: Like an actor of a self-made african movie ]

He didn't want to talk about it.

He had gotten 10 SP for every quest that he had completed, which resulted in him having a fair amount of skill points, 30.

There were lots of other attributes and skills as well, but he decided to stay focused on these three first, since they were currently the most important to him. If he finds his performance in those three skills satisfactory, then he will naturally move on to other skills. He had also received some smaller quests with less rewards, both in AP and SP.

His status looked like this:

========================

[ Kim Min-jae ]

[ Male ]

- Attributes -

Body Fitness: 11 (10)

Intelligence: 21 (10)

Health: 33 (10)

Appearance: MAX (10)

Available attribute points: 29

- Skills -

Dancing: 6 (10)

Acting: 8 (10)

Singing: 5 (10)

Available skill points: 43

========================

He had a lot of skill points, he hoped this would be able to exceed the passing standard of many agencies, especially the one he was going to aim for, JYP Entertainment.

He had always been a fan of one particular k-pop group in that agency, GOT7. He didn't know if he would get accepted. And if he did, will he replace another group member? Would it become GOT8? He had no idea, but he wanted to make it into that group.

Why?

He simply loved everything about them. Their songs, their routines, their members etc.

He basically worshipped them

He also had this huge crush on a girl group member from TWICE, which was a group in the same agency that debuted shortly after GOT7. which is another reason why he should try to audition for JYP. Because he could come into contact with 'her' more easily.

He will make it. He believed in himself.

He inmediately invested all his AP and SP. He also created a new attribute and invested a few points in there as well, for the sake of improving his dancing skill. His status now looked like this:

========================

[ Kim Min-jae ]

[ Male ]

- Attributes -

Body Fitness: 22 (10)

Flexibility: 21 (10)

Intelligence: 21 (10)

Health: 33 (10)

Appearance: MAX (10)

Available attribute points: 0

- Skills -

Dancing: 25 (10)

Acting: 12 (10)

Singing: 25 (10)

Available skill points: 0

========================

He wanted to have a bit more skill points in all of them, to make it 100% sure he would be able to make it. But he couldn't wait any longer, or else it would become harder to join the group. He also had a trainee period to further improve his skills, so he was probably just being paranoid. 25 skill points in dancing and singing is very high already, he noticed this since his ability to both, come up with dance moves on the spot and move on the beat increased tremendously. His voice was also very charming and pleasant to listen to, even when he was talking normally. When he was singing, it was even more so. Coupled with his increased memory from his high intelligence, something stupid like forgetting lyrics or using the wrong pronunciation was simply not possible. His acting wasn't that important yet, so he only invested a few points into that.

He was planning on asking his parents to audition today, both privately and openly. He still needed his parents permission after all. He was still a child, so he wasn't allowed to make the descision for himself. His parents already knew he wanted to become an idol, since he always talked about it and even took dance classes.

They thought it was foolish and stupid at first, his grades were first-class and he could easily get into a famous university. But they had eventually agreed to it in his past life as well, so it shouldn't be impossible.

Oh, but he would probably be very nervous, just like in his last life. Being confident is also highly appreciated by JYP

And that could affect his results, greatly.

That needed to be fixed.

So he decided to remove 13 points from his Health stat, and 2 points from his body fitness stat, he didn't need to be so strong and his health was a bit too high, so these changes wouldn't affect him much. He then put 15 points into a newly added stat: Willpower, which now reached 20.

Wow, that means he originally only had 5 points in his willpower. That's half of a normal adult. And the majority of people would have a bit of stage fright when auditioning. And he was even worse than those people, by a lot.

He had luckily thought about this beforehand, else he would be in big trouble.

He had now finally finished reforming his status.

It was time to ask his parents.
