----------------------------------------------------------
Once back home Dae-ho took the computer and began looking at the web. The previous group he belonged to was called GIFT. It was a name chosen by the CEO of the Company.
Actually, his artistic name was Seven. He didn't get to choose it or rather he was led to choose it, a decision like the artistic name was a thing that would be embedded in him while he belonged to the group, and even out of it it would have an influence on his reputation.
Actually, Seven was only a replacement. It even goes for the name the group had 7 people and 1 of them had for some reason had problems with the rest of the members. At the time he didn't question those things and when he had been offered the opportunity he really chose to grab it.
Most people tell you '' If the opportunity shows itself in front of you, you have to grab it and hold on to it.'' That is in a way true. But there has to be logical thinking behind it.
You shouldn't bite more than you can chew. And joining a group with internal conflict and with inside tension wasn't the best thing. A youth of 15 years of age joining a group already was mind blowing.
Like the average debut, age is around your 20's and behind that age, there is a lot of work done. One idol can reach 10 years of training before debuting. It is an insane amount of time spent training and years of correction and experience.
Lee Dae-ho had 7 months of training. It was a negligible number compared to those with 4 / 5 years of training. At the time didn't think through enough. The company just sent him to his grave since they hadn't spent that much on his training, they had managed to save a few members of the group victimizing them and appealing to the population's pity.
While Dae-ho had suffered in that group, from the fan's criticism even trainees had given him odd eyes while walking on the training grounds. It had gone from a great thing to an ending thing. He wasn't the type to make friends since he focused solely on the training to compensate. He wasn't able to bond with the group and understand them either, and most importantly he hadn't managed to show his strong side to the fans in the end the 5 months he spent on the group were just a waste of time.
A waste of time would be too much. He at least had realized how people acted to get themselves out. How to save themselves and bury the ones next to them so they could be more noticeable in the middle of them. Better being a ray of light in the middle of the dark than being just another ray of light in the middle of the day.
He had been too naive after all.
While looking at the news about how they would disband a major part of the group and sign new members to freshen the group, Dae-ho scoffed while looking at those news, followed by an immediate sigh.
The one losing the most was him. He now had no group, no company, no training place...nothing. It was his reality.
While in the middle of these negative emotions his phone began ringing. While he wanted to ignore it and find an answer for his problems and worries, the moment he saw the caller, his heart ached, and a pained and sad expression surfaced on his face.
The caller was the mother of the former owner of the body. The number of emotions surfacing while reading those words was just too much, maybe because in the former had felt like he had let everyone down.
[Aren't you going to answer that?] Rose asked feeling that Dae-ho had frozen in place.
This had bought Dae-ho to reality and with trembling hands, he picked the phone and answered the call. A soothing voice came immediately.
''Hello, Dae baby how are you? Mom saw the news relating to the group, that bunch of liars, I should go there and give them a piece of respect.'' Dae-ho listening to the woman's rambling he couldn't help and relax a bit. It was instinctive, just listening to her made him not think heavily about his worries.
''Mom I'm okay. Don't bother with them mom, people like that will eventually get their retribution after all.'' He said to calm the woman down in which the woman just sighed and said.
''It is as you said baby, I watched your shows and I saw just how much you were giving in there. Mom is proud of you.''
These words hit him hard in his heart. This had hit both Dae-ho's the person who bought you to this world giving you acknowledgment for your hard work. Dae-ho's face began to spill tears. All this was obviously a heavy burden for him, although he felt bad for being in the place of the former owner deep down he knew the former and him, had become one since he had been given everything from memories to the emotions relating to them from the former.
He knew that but this still brought a great amount of stress on him. Not only that but the emotions of the days training alone and the judging eyes people gave him every day he had been given were there and could feel how the former felt emotionally. Listening to his mother's word's meant a lot to both.
'' Eh? Dae? Are you crying?'' His mother asked assuming what was happening from the silence.
''No...No mom I'm just too happy about your words.'' He hurriedly said.''Besides, I just had something on my eyes that's all.''
'' Okay okay, baby I will pretend to believe you. But now baby what do you want to do? I know you aren't in a good situation, do you need my help? I have a friend there and I can ask her for help.'' She said trying to change the subject.
''Mom you shouldn't do that, you know how my reputation is right now. They even terminated the contract and I had to pay for the so called training. It is good they terminated the contract, I won't be having any association with them in any way. I'll figure something out mom.'' Dae-ho said trying to not bother his mother, asking for favors and risk tarnishing the reputation of her friend? That was a big no, at least or now it was too much of a bother for the 2nd party.
Hearing him the woman didn't insist and both of them had some iddle chat until their goodbyes.
'' Well mom you should be busy so I won't take more of your time, take care mom.'' Dae-ho said while smiling. The next words of his mother made him freeze though.
''Ahah you brat, your mother has always time to talk to her babies. You sound more mature now, it is good but mom is sad you shouldn't grow so fast. Well, I need to go now bye baby, mom loves you a lot, remember I am your number one fan!!'' She said her last words and began laughing out loud teasing her son.
''I love you too mom.'' Dae-ho said robotically and in the next moment, the call ended.
'Mother's intuition is too big.'
It was obvious the changes and although he tried to sound the same as the former Dae he still had slipped sometimes. But well that was because was too relaxed at a certain point talking to her.
[Host shouldn't worry. There is no way someone will think that her son's soul integrated with someone of a parallel reality. The host voice is the same, and that is enough.] Rose said while trying to ease him a bit.
''You might be right Rose.'' Rose's words did have an effect on him. ''Now that I took over his family is my family. I didn't have anyone in my last life so let me treasure this one for both.''

In a small city
A woman sat down on the couch with her legs crossed. She had a very big similarity with Dae-ho she was definitely a pretty woman. Not the model beauty but she was above average in looks. The most noticeable thing would be her Hazel eyes and her delicate features just drew you in. This woman was obviously the woman he had a call with and the mother of both Dae's now.
She was frowning while looking at her phone.
'' My baby is way too different. Maybe he suffered too much there.'' she began pouting ''Humph, If those bullies kept up with shaming my baby mom would just bomb them all. What respect for the artist they didn't even let him do anything. I guess ill talk to her anyway, I can't just sit still and not help you achieve your dream.''
Then she dialed a number.
''Yes, Anna? It has been a while I need to talk to you about something.....''
