"Filming starts in two weeks, make sure you're at my office at 9 a.m by then, I'll take you and Suji to the set. you'll be meeting the rest of the cast there as well." JYP was also happy, someone from his agency had been allowed to play a lead role, that was a lot better than just some actor who he had no relations with.
"Got it, I'll be hanging up then." Jaemin couldn't hold his excitement in for any longer, hence the urgent request of being allowed to hang up.
"Right, bye." JYP let out as small laugh, knowing why he wanted to hang up so quickly.
He ended the call and looked at the night sky, which was filled with bright stars,
and a status screen.

[ Quest Completed! ]
[ Rewarded: 10 AP, 20 SP! ]
So talking with almost no one, acting indifferent, and having a cool outfit was enough to complete this quest?
What an easy quest...
He hoped the system would continue and give him such easy quests, it was almost like a free lunch. It seems that it was trying to make-up for the hellish quests it had given when he was still a fetus...
That aside, he had done it.
He had really done it, his actor debut was finally coming. He had never seen how a movie or drama is made, so he was quite curious about how the filming process would proceed.
He would finally meet someone who he respected a lot as well, IU. Her songs and lyrics were quite different from the norm, but they still were complete all-kill's who dominated the charts. Her voice was already very pleasant to listen to, and when she sang, then you'd become completely immersed in it, and that was just her voice.
If it was accompanied with good music, then it was no wonder she received so much good feedback.
He would really want to collab with her when he would go solo in the future.
On top of meeting IU, he would be getting closer with a few of his 2PM sunbaenims and Suji as well.
Truly amazing, his future was basically radiating such intense brightness at this point, that it even out-shined the sun.
But, what should he do now? Should he go back to the party, or should he just go home?
He didn't have a lot of fun at the party, and he wasn't really able to make new friends in such an environment.
Jaemin nodded to himself, he would just go home.
"Should I take a taxi? Or should I walk?" Walking from where he was at now was quite the distance, it would take almost an hour to get to his apartment.
He didn't really feel like walking for an hour all alone in the middle of the night, so he just decided to wait for a taxi.
At times like this, he really wished he was old enough to drive.
He walked out of the alleyway and headed towards the nearest street where taxi's would occasionally drive by.
It would probably take a while, it was night after all.

[ Quest: (Hidden) ]
{ Something is going to happen near you, and you need to prevent that from happening. (Tip: Invest points in a skill that would be useful in combat.)
[ Reward: 20 SP, 20 AP ]
...
The fuck?
He had never gotten a quest before that had it's name hidden. Moreover, what in the world was that tip about?
Invest points in a skill for combat?!
What would he get himself into?!
And when was that 'something' going to happen? Right now?
He didn't know, so he needed to hurry and create a skill that was the most suitable for combat. He had a lot of saved up skill points as well, his high body fitness would make it a lot easier to win a fight as well.
[ Create Skill: Fighting ]
[ 1..2..3 ]
[ Created! ]
He looked at his status to see how much points he could use, and how much points he currently had.

========================
He was currently in a rapid improving phase, and he wished to stay in it for a long time, since his attributes and skills upgraded very quickly, due to his compassion for not slacking off when it came to training.
He practiced everything, so they went up naturally.
But when he looked at his fighting skill, he was just outright dissapointed.
He had practiced taekwondo in his last life! And the system is telling him that he was slightly worse than a normal person?!
What utter nonsense is this!
Jaemin stomped the floor with his left foot shouting with extreme sarcasm, "System, I can beat even Bruce Lee easily!"

[ You wish you arrogant fool ]
...
F#$#$@$ Y%@#$ @$@#$@#%@#%$@#
He wasn't sure what he would encounter, so he didn't want to spend only a few points, he wanted to spend them all, to ensure that nothing could go wrong.
He would get a reward anyway, so why not?
He invested all of his 70 SP in his Fighting skill, and it felt....
Extremely painful.
He had thought that only his mind would get imprinted with information about martial arts, and he had enough willpower to resist such a mental strain, but he hadn't expected that those martial arts moves would be imprinted even in his muscle memory as well!
His whole body felt like it was being burned alive. Because of this, his legs started to tremble, eventually giving away completely.
And here he was, laying like a mentally ill homeless person on the ground, screaming like a yin ghost.
The pain only subsided after about two mintues, and he felt pretty normal afterwards, like nothing had happened at all.
He quickly got up and looked around to see what was going to happen, he scanned his surroundings firmly for any possible danger.
And right at that moment, a taxi came.
That taxi, was a bit fishy.
It's license plate was taped so nobody could see what it was, the lights of the taxi inside the window were so weak, that the characters that told your destination were almost unreadable. The car had a lot of scratches and bumps, it was a complete mess.
Instead of waiting for him to get on, the taxi drove right past him, and stopped after about a hundred and fifty meters.
There was a girl there, also waiting for a taxi. She seemed two or three years older than him, but he couldn't see her facial features that well, since he was looking from quite a distance.
He thought about it for a bit, and rushed towards that taxi as fast as he could.
This taxi driver obviously didn't have good intentions towards her, he needed to prevent that girl from stepping inside the taxi at all costs. He might even try and kidnap her in the worst case scenario.
He ran as quick as lightning, screaming: "Don't go inside!"
The girl looked at him, she was scared.
Jaemin looked at the taxi driver, who was almost two meters tall and muscular like a bodybuilder, coming out of his car.
"Shit, I need to hurry."
The man hadn't noticed him yet, the girl tried not looking in his direction to prevent the man from finding out about him. Her left hand secretly formed a few signs, signalling, "Go away!"
Jezus, she thought of others even in a situation like that.
His pride wouldn't allow that girl to be hurt, he just couldn't let that happen.
He only needed to run about twenty meters more, and the man finally noticed him. He looked straight at him.
The man grinned "Hey you brat, come here for a moment."
Jaemin stood stil for a moment, and then continued walking towards them. The man luckily hadn't made a move on that girl yet.
That girl, she was silently crying.
She was afraid.
"Hey little girl, you needed a ride right?!" The man was slowingly moving towards her, ignoring him, who by now stood by her side, completely.
"N-n-n-no, no, not at all, I'll just walk." She started to move away from Jaemin and the man, she didn't think he'd be able to protect her at all.
The man's perverted smile disappeared.
"You fucker, come here right now!" The man suddenly started running towards her.
Like he'd let him come even one centimeter closer to that girl.
He grabbed the man's arm with all of his strength.
"Don't even try."
The man turned around and looked shocked, this boy had such power!
His eighty points in Body Fitness weren't wasted after all, his grip strength was terrifying.
The man tried to remove his hand, but it didn't budge.
"I'll take you too then!" He grabbed a knife and began slashing around in his direction.
Jaemin subconsciously moved towards the side and kicked the man right on his jaw.
One hit, was enough.
The man stumbled backwards and fell on the ground with a *Thump*
He...
Just got REKT.
