Is he really going to be like this? Suddenly asking for me to show him my talent. At least he didn't say some cheesy phrase like "Are you a star?" or similar.
Anyway, what can I do to show him I'm really talented enough, there are a lot of things he's seen in his life. I think I know him enough to realize that, should I show him something uninteresting or not original, I will really lost his favour.
I'm pretty sure he's waiting for me to dance to Roo'ra, Seo Taiji, or similar. But in reality, I had other plans.
Father won't be surprised even If I give my best, he's seen people like Hyung, or Park Ji Joon noona, even Father himself is ridiculously good at dancing. Then, if I can surprise him, why not just so something unexpected?
As everything was quite sudden, I started to sing at the same time I danced.
The beat was kind of slow, and the original dancer is, for me, the epitome of sexiness. Also, father himself wrote the song for her.
🎶I waited for this day🎶
🎶For this night to come🎶
🎶Just the two of us spending the night🎶
🎶I waited 🎶
The lyrics were originally quite seductive, it had after all some constant sexual tension in it.
Trying to be at least kind of funny instead, I took out a chocolate bar from my pocket and kind of "dedicated" the song to it, trying to look as serious as possible. It was quite cringing, but better than all of the original sexual tone, at least for me.
It got even worse when I saw a very soft smile in Father's face while his head moved to the beat.
🎶No need to turn on the lights🎶
🎶No need to say anything🎶
At this moment, I jokingly put my index finger on the chocolate bar to "silence it". And once again, I know it worked from Father's expression.
🎶Just lean on me and close your eyes🎶
🎶I'll take care of everything🎶
Then, the highlight of the dance came. It was a simply arm wave, giving high relevance to the palm movements, but Uhm Jung Hwa-ssi managed to make it sexy effortlessly. So I tried to imitate her.
🎶Narrowly erotic🎶
🎶To make you come into my arms🎶
🎶with this heart, this smile, with these eyes, with this touch🎶
At this part, I simply imitated Jung Hwa ssi, highlighting each body part as it was mentioned during the song.
🎶I'll completely seduce you tonight🎶
As I finished this part, I noticed how Father was really amused, so I thought it was time to change the song. So as I completed the previous verse, suddenly, the rythm changed, and I started singing a song that I really loved from of my favorite groups until now.
🎶Black cat nero Nero nero🎶
This was completely different from the previous song, quite a cheerful melody, but the choreography was still quite simple. Just moving my arms up and down by each side, and by my chest.
🎶My cute friend was a black cat🎶
As I wanted to show Father how good I was, I swiftly switched to another song from the same group, and started singing with my everything.
🎶I had the dream of making you a woman🎶
🎶No matter the difficulty🎶
The original singer, Kim jong Kook had a unique voice, and it was quite soft. So I tried to sing in the same tone
Once those two lines ended, I started rapping the lines of Park Jung Nam.
The highlight was him rapping at the same time he danced to the lyrics rythm, so that was what I did.
The group was called turbo, and the songs were "Nero" and "My childhood dream".
Once I finished this whole performance that was suddenly done, I was gasping for breath, even though it wasn't that long of a performance.
I expectantly stated at Father, who now had a fatherly smile on his face. Before I could say anything, he started to slowly clap, and then said.
—It seems you're really talented, I kind of regret not noticing before — he paused for a second — still missing some practice, though.
— I've been training with Ji Hoon constantly - I interrupted him momentarily.
— Oh really? You and him? — I simply nodded and he continued — Anyway, you're kind of an all rounder. But I do have to say this, even though your singing is really, good, I'd prefer if you concentrated in dancing. Your moves have a certain charm to them that's quite hard to explain, but it's positive.
As I was getting excited, Father's next words hit me really hard.
— But don't think you're ready to be a singer. You're still missing a lot. Can you tell me what are you missing? — he asked, calmly while supporting his face with his palm. while cross-armed.
— Stamina — I said almost instantly, and it was quite clear, I'm still gasping for air, after all.
— Indeed, performances are usually a lot longer than what you did, and yet, you're grasping for breath. What else?
— Technique? — I hesitantly replied.
— That's also true, even though you're good right now, you still need to learn how to execute more complex and harder dance routines. You're still dealing with the basics. What else?
— Versatility — my answer was a really soft whisper, but it seems father could hear it. With his smile, he kept saying.
— I'm happy you identified that missing trait. Well done, as you're dealing with the basics, you can't hope for some versatility in your styles, or having a wide vocal range. But still, being versatile is really important for a dancer. But still, you're still missing the most important trait. What do you think it is?
This time, I had to think for a very long time. It was at least 5 minutes. After that, resolution appeared on my face, and I replied.
— Uniqueness.
This time, Father was slightly surprised, and a faint appeared once again in Father's face.
— Indeed, you're missing your own style. Even though all of the aspects you said before were really important for a dancer or singer, you don't want to become just a dancer or a singer. You want to become someone important, don't you?
I nodded.
— In my experience, the most important thing for someone like that, is not being a good singer, or a good dancer, not at all — he exclaimed while shaking his head — The most important thing is having a unique charm that only you can pull off. That's what being successfull is all about, Do you understand? — I nodded before he continued — then, you should start going to class with the rest of the trainees.
This time, it was my time to talk, because I shook my head.
It was Father's turn to frown. He simply asked for the reason. To which I answered back.
— Father, you've helped me too much, but I can't become a trainee under your agency. If I do it like that, then I won't feel as if I've earned everything by myself. I will audition to become a trainee somewhere else. — I got quite nervous as I was saying this.
But Father's reassuring smile after that gave me confidence once again.
— I'm very happy to hear that Chris-ah, you have lofty goals in your life, and I kind of expected it.
Now if you let me, I recommend you to audition to.....
