Xion was listening intently, Yuqi's husky voice really gives another edge to the song for him, Yiren was drawn into the lyrics and trying to memorize it for her to try to sing after Yuqi. After Yuqi finished her singing, Xion and Yiren clapped for the performance and looked at each other meaningfully.
Yiren then said to Yuqi, come now your turn to sit and listen to my singing before he gives you the feedback. Yuqi was surprised with Yiren's statement but still sat and listened to her singing, she even listened to it intentionally because Yiren sang the same song that she just sang. Yiren's style of singing is different from Yuqi since her voice is not husky but soft and powerful, and Yuqi can slowly understand the technique that Yiren uses to sing the song.
After Yiren finished her singing, then Xion asked her to sit next to Yuqi, and started to give positive feedback for her, " Yuqi, you have good basics, just keep polishing it and you are good to go, all you need to fix is the way you put airy vocals, you try to sing vocally with breathy sound in the middle part but that makes you lose too much power on high notes when you wanted to get back on the starting note."
Xion then explained more about breathing techniques and things that Yuqi should practice more with Yiren as a comparison. She was astounded that the boy and the girl that she just met can easily pinpoint her weakness just like her mentors say to her when they have vocal class in the agency despite the fact that she sang really well.
Lastly, Xion says things that motivates her deeply, " You can practise and sing really well, but the world doesn't need a good singer, the world needs great singers to stir her heart deeply". Yuqi then asked both of them, " are you both a couple? Are you both already a singer? You both are amazing. I am speechless, I even haven't known your names, can we be friends?
Xion and Yiren laugh heartily because of Yuqi's bombardments of questions.. Xion then explained to Yuqi their names and that they are siblings and told Yuqi that Yiren also wanted to be an Idol but hadn't joined any labels yet, Yuqi then added them as her friend in her phone and took some selfies with the siblings.
Yiren then requested that when they have both debuted as Idols, then Yuqi can upload her photos together. Yuqi thanked the siblings and then decided to get home. Yiren and Xion feel delighted after helping others then decide to get back to the hotel. Yuyeon has finished her preparation for the siblings and waits for them to come back and talk to them about her plans but then she decides to do it tomorrow when all the relevant people are on the spot.
The Next Day, Xion and Yiren finished their breakfast without Yuyeon because she already had breakfast before the duo woke up. Lazily both of them finish their breakfast and walk slowly back to their room not knowing that a big surprise is waiting for both of them. When they got back to the room, Yuyeon then told them to refresh their faces because they looked so doom and gloom and it will make the day get worse.
The siblings then decided to take a bath in their own room as the penthouse that they stayed in always had a separated bathroom for each one of them. Xion finishes first and puts on casual style spring clothes and then goes to the main room where all of them can sit and talk together, when he's out of the room, he suddenly meets with two other strangers that sit across from his mother, one is a male and one is a female.
Xion greeted them as Yuyeon asked him to sit on one of the chairs and wait for Yiren to come. another twenty minutes passed and Yiren then comes out and finds all four of them in the main room, she then walks and sits beside her brother.
Now that everybody is here, I want to talk to Yiren first as the youngest, Xion you can get back to your room for a moment and then i'll call you back. Xion just nodded to her mother and assured Yiren that everything is fine with his eyes while moving to his room. Seeing the strange atmosphere, Yiren tensed up and many things started to haunt her mind that instant.
Yuyeon then asked Yiren about her plans for her future, what she desires, what kind of environment that she needed, what class that she wanted to learn more to help her achieve her goal as an idol and finally what school did she choose to attend. The female stranger seemed to write everything that Yiren said in a book and just smiled back at Yiren when she saw that.
Later, it is Xion's turn. Yiren was in her room with so many things running around her mind and she was so tense. When Xion finished his part, Yuyeon then asked him to bring Yiren back. When Xion knocked on her door, she just ran to the door and opened and dragged Xion to enter.
She then cried quietly on her brother's chest. Xion was flabbergasted with her action but later tried to calm her down when she started to cry. He then tries to convince Yiren that everything is fine and she doesn't have to worry about anything since Xion will help her as best as he can. It took 15 minutes for Yuyeon to start to think that something's wrong is happening but when she's about to check them out, she sees Yiren and Xion is coming back to the room, she quickly notices that Yiren was just crying since her eyes are kinda red.
She just shrugged it away like nothing is happening, seeing this, Yiren almost breaks again but since she's holding Xion's arms she stays by his side.
After both of them have sat, Yuyeon then speaks up about her plans " Seeing you two close to each others do ease my mind but also burdened me, but after hearing your previous answers to my questions, now let me introduce these two people here.. but firstly let me say this, you can counter my proposal but let me makes everything clear, you both must obey my decision if you want the best for both of you, do both of you understand?" hearing Yuyeon's words, both the siblings replied in unison, "yes mother".
Yuyeon then continued, as you have answered before, now i'll tell you this, i don't want to be here in Seoul, i will go back to Hongkong. Yuyeon stopped her words and looked intently at the duo. Yiren was seen squashing XIon's hand harder, and Xion is trying to hold the pain.
Yuyeon then continued her sentences, Xion as you are the Older one, you have to listen to my words carefully and remember that you are the man in the family. It is still your duty to take over the company your late father has built, I will take responsibility for it, for now..., but you must take over it when the time comes i will deal with your grandpa issues. And now it's Xion's turn to be choked up with feelings but chose to remain quiet. Yuyeon continued once again, as both of you have spoken up your mind, now it's my turn.
Yuyeon then sees that both the siblings' faces turned pale before she laughed heartily, unable to put on another serious face. She then laughed together with the strangers. Yiren and Xion were confused with the situation but still kept themselves composed.
After Yuyeon calmed herself, the then introduced the stranger, Yiren this lady here is Bae Suji or you can call her Suzy Unnie, she will be your manager from today and till she request me to find you another manager for you, all your activities will be under her watch, Xion this man here is Kim Seon Ho or you can call him Seon Ho Hyung, he will be your manager from now on.
Yiren, you will go to Seoul School of Performing Arts as you wished for it, Suzy will handle everything for you but Xion, you will go to Hanlim Arts High School and Seonho will handle everything for you too. I have bought an apartment here for Yiren to stay with Suzy but for Xion, you have to stay in an apartment for students.
This because both of you have been so close and almost inseparable since the beginning and i didn't want both of you to be like this, especially you Yiren, under some pressure from me, already made you cry, it will slowly build both of you to be mature.
Both of you can only meet each other on weekends at Yiren's place since it is large and has a separate room for each of you except for Suzy and Seonho who are husband and wife. All of your activities must be reported to each manager too and they will take you to any places that you wished for.
Both of you also have to finish your study at each respective school with B+ as the minimum grade. For Yiren, your plans for being an Idol, just talked to Suzy since she was a former Idol Manager too, and also Seonho is also a former idol manager too but both their artists have already disbanded the group.
Yuyeon then gives chances for Suzy and Seonho to explain more detailed things for each one of the siblings. Suzy's explanation is more detailed since Yiren also handed her the Tourniquet Entertainment scout name card.
The whole day was spent on making a timetable for Yiren's schedule, Yiren and Xion then do a small performance in front of the managers as a reference for their plans. Yiren and Xion just hugged their mother as a family while pouring out their hearts to her when the bed times came.
Yuyeon just sighed seeing her two children sleeping on her left and right. She has spent a large sum of money for the children's future but it didn't put a dent in their savings. Even though Xion doesn't know how much money they have since he's still a child, Yuyeon always teaches him to spend less and not overspend his own money. Yiren also always tried to save her money since she never spent much on clothes or cosmetics because Yuyeon always buys for her.
After celebrating the siblings' birthday on the second full moon of spring which makes the managers think that both the siblings are twins due to their closeness and same birthday date when they asked, Yuyeon just says that they are gemini's twins. 4 days after that, Yuyeon bid farewell to the children and the first hurdle of the siblings' life started. In the plane, Yuyeon sighed hard alone as she uttered "Jieun-ah… where are you now? why did you move out at this time.."
