Chereads / Becoming A K-pop Idol / Chapter 23 - Waiting Isn't Always Boring!

Chapter 23 - Waiting Isn't Always Boring!

"When will this idiot call me, aisshhh" Jaemin threw his phone on his bed, and kept walking around his apartment with such a visible frown on his face, that it seemed like he had just gotten dumped.

Jaemin had been waiting for JYP's answer for a day already, when was that sack of old bones planning to inform him? He just wanted to start acting! He also wanted to meet IU!

"I'm hungry, instant ramen it is." Jaemin picked one of the more spicy cup ramens inside of his secret food storage, and put it inside the oven.

While he was patiently waiting, with his face firmly pressed against the oven, his phone rang.

He went full on Usain Bolt and ran like his life depended on it, it was only just a tad slower than lightspeed.

Those supreme cultivators who could run at speeds that could break the sound barrier could only sigh at his amazing speed, and would be left in the dust.

He didn't even look at who it was, but he just said with clear excitement and a raised tone, "Hello, who is this!?"

"It's..."

"Shut up Sehun."

"How did you know, I hid my number!"

"Your voice is... unique."

"Unique my ass, I got some news for you."

"Hmm, what is it?"

"Open your door, and I will tell you."

"Did you come to my building?"

"No, the fucking demon lord and his little minions came, of course I did you idiot."

"Ok, wait a second."

Jaemin hung up, and walked to his front door.

He peeked through the little hole to confirm if Sehun was really alone, which he was. Since he didn't want anyone else to come into his apartment without his consent.

He opened the door, and Sehun looked at him even more excited than he was at the time when he passed the trainee auditions.

Something big must be going on.

"Minjae, before you say no, just consider."

Oh? What would he need to consider though?

"Consider what?"

"You see, there is this party..."

He knew it, Sehun was way too obvious.

Ah, the innocence of youth.

"No thank you."

"COME ON MINJAE LISTEN, YOU WILL LOVE THIS."

Jaemin didn't like parties at all, especially because of his appearance.

He had always thought that being super handsome was the best thing in the world, while that wasn't totally wrong, it had some clear negative aspects about it. Like being bothered by every single girl, continuously.

They just didn't leave him alone. He had to literally use special methods of verbal torture to eventually get them to disappear, which led him to developing that cold and indifferent personality of his towards others.

Moreover, he just wasn't comfortable partying without having the leverage of consuming alcohol. With alcohol, he could party like a beast. Without, he was just as indifferent as always.

He was still sixteen, so he wasn't allowed to drink alcohol yet. Although he could easily buy it through special methods, he wouldn't. Since people would probably somehow find out, and if that news would come out while he was famous, then a scandal would be the only outcome of that possibility.

He wasn't someone who likes to takes risks, so he would wait until he was of legal age to start drinking and partying.

"Now why should I love this?"

"It's not really a party, more like a meet-up."

"With who?"

"With the trainees! I call it, The Royal Inter-agency Trainee Gathering!"

A trainee meet-up? Holy shit.....

And it wasn't just from SM, but from JYP, BigHit, YG and a lot of other companies as well, since it was an inter-agency meet-up.

So, Sehun was saying, that he could meet a lot of future celebrities? He could even try and make connections with some of them.

That... Would be very useful for him.

Idols and actors always go on variety or reality shows, and most of those times is with other celebrities. If you got acquinted with them before that, it would get rid of the akwardness that would always be present when you meet someone for the first time.

Moreover, who didn't want to meet new people?

"When is it?" said Jaemin.

"Tonight"

"Then why are you telling me this now?"

"I forgot to tell you, and I didn't think you'd actually come."

"Well, I am."

"YEEEEEEEES, FINALLY WE CAN DO SOMETHING THAT I LIKE TOGETHER."

"What?"

"Getting girls, there is this one trainee in SM called Bae Joohyun and my god she is pretty."

Bae Joohyun?

Every true Red Velvet fan knows who Bae Joohyun is....

Bae Joohyun is Irene's real name!

Irene was pretty even during her trainee days huh? That was to be expected. She was known as SM's visual representative.

It would be some drama if Sehun likes her, they would top the news charts and get literally bashed by their fans.

"You like her, Sehun?"

"Don't know, never talked with her. I only know she's pretty and that's it."

"Hmm, ok. Be careful though, you can't break your contract. And if you do, do it secretly."

"Got it, thanks."

The majority of trainees sign a contract, and in that contracts states that they aren't allowed to date for the first four or five years. This is done so that they can solidate their fanbase first, so less problems arise if they do really date someone later on.

He had this as well, he wasn't allowed to date anyone for the first three years after his first debut in either acting or singing.

A lot of idols' dating stories had been their demise, entertainment companies wanted to prevent this at all costs, so they took premeasures.

A lot of idols and trainees still date though, and almost all of them do it in secret. Although it wouldn't always work, since paparazzi or just a random fan could expose them, they still did it.

Like EXO's Kai and F(x)'s Krystal for example.

"Don't you like anyone Minjae?"

"Not really, yet xD"

"Don't seduce too much girls, you will get destroyed when you get famous otherwise."

"Yeah, yeah, got it."

He wasn't the seducer type anyway. He just falls in love easily.

He could become one if he wanted to though.....

It could be fun if he showed such a personality on variety shows or something. Or should he just show his cold side?

So many choices...

"We have to go to Seoul, XX-XX-XX at 9 p.m, and the party ends at about 4 a.m."

"But it's already 7 p.m, and from here, it's about half an hour if we go with a car."

"That's why we got to hurry! Pick your best outfit, I did so as well."

He looked at Sehun once again, and indeed he did. He had even put a bit of make-up on his face, it seems he was really excited about the party.

"I still have to shower though, and you know I take long showers!"

"You're wasting water you idiot."

"It's not like you don't do the same."

"You got me there, but just hurry!"

"Ok, ok Sehun, calm down." Jaemin inmediately went to go and shower. Sehun just anxiously waited on his couch.

It was...
