Four days later;
Jun woke up early in the morning like usual and hit the gym on the ground floor.
He started running on the treadmill without taking a break. Even though he was enjoying the free break during these past few days, he doesn't forget to complete daily quests. Moreover, today is even more important. Two events are about to happen.
One is that his debut album teaser is about to be launched at noon. The second is another moment that he was about to achieve.
Nearly 45 minutes of running brought him a series of notifications.

Five minutes later;
"Oh," Jun exclaimed in surprise when he looked at the mirror nearby as he pull up his t-shirt. There were six abs in the shape of a chocolate bar.
He knew the effects beforehand, well, at least about the abs and the height growth. What should he answer when people ask him? He had prepared a perfect answer to that, so no worries over there.
But, knowing it and seeing it with own eyes is entirely different.
Feeling his solid biceps and triceps, he proceeds to take off his t-shirt and looked at the mirror once again.
"Man, I look like a UFC fighter." Jun couldn't help but admire his physique. He cringed when admiring his looks but his physique is different. Even though the system did the work, Jun felt more rewarded for the transformation. His body was full of sweat, from his muscles to his abs.
Little did he expect it, it was at that moment, Daniel entered the GYM while dragging Eunwoo with him.
It's just like the company concept. Just like how Hanbin behave differently from outside the practice and during the practice, Eunwoo also has two different types of personalities.
For example, Cha Eunwoo, who is his stage name, is an introvert while Lee Dong Min is an extrovert. At the dorm, he is Lee Dong Min who has a bright personality and is outgoing in nature.
As Suga and Hanbin were too busy in their own worlds, Daniel and Eunwoo got closer due to that. He was also closer to Jun but not much, mainly because Jun was busy these days with the practice and all.
Seeing that Jun was exercising daily, Daniel also wanted to work out too but he wasn't worried that he couldn't catch up with Jun, even in this category but was more worried that he started to get envious of Jun. He treats him as a close friend. So, he doesn't want their relationship to turn sour because of something like this.
So, he wanted someone to tag along with so that he could share his misery and stay confident.
So, he woke him up at around 6 o'clock and dragged him to the GYM. Eunwoo was basically a nice fellow who rarely says no to some request. He agreed and both of them came to the ground floor and went to the GYM only to find a familiar guy who appeared very unfamiliar with his sculpted body.
They were stunned for a while until Jun realized their presence.
"Ah, Eui-geon, Eunwoo…" Jun felt embarrassed when being stared at by his housemates and quickly wore the t-shirt, appearing once again like a lean guy in that XXXL t-shirt.
Daniel was the first to react, "Wah, Hyung. I can't believe you are keeping such a secret from us, until now. I knew that you have high arm strength but this is all together."
"Well, I'm working out for several months by now. Not to mention, my debut is here. So, I need to pay attention to my physique. What is there to be surprised about?" Jun tried to maintain his casual tone while getting back to the treadmill as if it was a normal matter. He added while continuing to walk, "By the way, why are you two here?"
"Daniel wanted to work out too and I tagged along," Eunwoo replied him. He suddenly lost interest to work out. Daniel was also in the same condition.
"Oh!" Jun looked at him in surprise. He was elated for a moment that he will not work out alone from now onwards. "Then, c'mon, join me."
"Uhh, today, I'll just observe. Maybe, from tomorrow onwards." As he said hesitatingly, Jun nodded, "alright."
Even Jun also wanted to find out how much easier does workout got from five minutes ago.
He gradually increased the speed to maximum and continued to run. "Hmm, there wasn't much difference, after all. I expected too much because of body transformation. It's just like vocals. The real ability will occur because of the passive skill.
And here, it comes in the form of maintaining it. Obviously, it won't have any visible results unless I slack off. But, I still haven't tested my limits. Now that I have developed the perfect body, I need to hit a real gym."
While Jun was busy in his own thoughts, Daniel and Eunwoo looked at him with their eyes widened. Both of them only thought one thing. "He isn't a human."
The morning passed away.
Around noon, while the other four left for practice and the manager is busy with making the preparations for debut regarding the costumes, venue, publicity, and all, Jun was sitting alone in the living room and watching YouTube on the television.
From time to time, he kept looking at his phone in anticipation. He received a message from the PR department, reminding him about the time.
At exactly 2:00 p.m., once again he received a confirmation message from the PR department that the teaser has been uploaded on YT under the company's channel.
Genesis Entertainment's official Twitter channel, Facebook account, Instagram account, and other SNS also uploaded the news and the link, at the same time.
During the past two weeks, Jun was indeed one of the topics among the netizens. Since his identity was never kept a secret, the agency didn't bother to upload any character introduction teaser and directly went to release the debut album teaser.
Jun clicked on the video. It was about 24 seconds long and was named teaser 1. So, there must be teaser 2 too.
A piece of music started in the background. It was a little bit melodic, which later at the end, turned into electronic.
The space full of galaxies was shown. It was then zoomed into one of them, shown a glimpse of stars for only a second before zooming into them, finally stopping on a green-colored planet. It reminded Jun of the Namek planet in DBZ.
Jun furrowed his brows in displeasure, "do they want to make fun of my eyes or something?" Anything in green that is associated with him, Jun doesn't like it.
However, to his surprise, it wasn't what he thought. After further zooming in, his first looks were revealed on the 10th second.
With blue/neon-green hair, fluttering in the wind, Jun was standing on grassland. There was mountain scenery far away in the background.
"Ah, I remember this scene." Jun said to himself in realization as the character in the teaser let out a sigh, "No living beings here too."
"Wow, were my expressions that good? Maybe, I should become an actor." Jun even felt the emotions of loneliness in the eyes of the character "Sky" who was searching for life.
He disappears all of a sudden and reappears in a different place. After teleporting three such planets, he found himself standing on a planet where futuristic alien ships are flying around. "Finally." Sky let out a smile as he looked down at the city from the top of the handrail, located on like 100th floor or something.
The scene was cut and words appeared.
"Debut single Album: Home"
"Han Sung-Jun as Sky"
