Many thoughts run in Jiu's head at that moment and she gets panicked but the effect of the angelic voice makes her calm her mind instantly and she unconsciously says "I'd give you a chance".
Now everyone's eyes turned from Xion to Jiu as her face turned red realizing her own answers were not supposed to be said easily like that. Everyone was mind blowing.
Hyesoo just muttered daebak while giving a thumbs up to Xion who smugly smiled back at her.
Seonho was dead inside don't know how to reverse everything, All the members of Dreamcatcher was enjoying the moment crazily like an epic drama scene just happened in their life, Sua was jumping around screaming, Siyeon was confused with the situation, Handong and Dami is comforting Jiu somehow.
Yoohyeon and Gahyeon are acting like someone who's pouring up something while humming Parchebel's Canon in D Major all around the room.
Everything was out of control.
Suddenly, Lee Joowon and Hwang Soyeon, the performance director of the company entered the room and were surprised with the weird situation.
Sua happily approached the CEO and explained everything with great enthusiasm, Lee Joowon was totally surprised, Hwang Soyeon was stunned hearing the explanation and just closed her mouth.
Lee Joowon then took control of the chaotic situation and calmed everyone's down. He just laughed it out and said "ah, it's good to be young.." while ignoring Someone's pleading eyes.
Hearing his answer, Seonho just slumped in his chair like his soul has left his body. Lee Joowon then claps hard to take everyone's attention back to the main issue, they have to evaluate Xion.
Hwang Soyeon with the help of the girls then arranges the tables and sits behind it facing Xion who is standing in front of them.
Everyone then puts up their game face except Hyesoo since she doesn't have anything to do except watch everything.
The audition starts with singing, Xion sings a song by Dreamcatcher which is a ballad song titled It's Okay, Xion didn't turn the angelic voice on but used his raw talent and sang passionately.
Everyone nodded in agreement hearing his singing as he's easily passed as an excellent singer, but then CEO Lee speaks…
This is just your regular singing isn't it? I didn't even feel that you had given the best.
Everyone was stunned and realized the situation and analyzed the performance once again, then Siyeon gave her input that made the others realize the meaning in the CEO's words.
Xion then sings the song again while activating the Angelic Voice.
This time everyone is mind blown, the contrast is so different, there is a certain feeling that lingers after the song ends.
CEO Lee just stayed silent and asked Xion to continue with the dance, he played tiesto's boom and started to dance.
Hwang Soyeon was watching his dance closely but the dance was so good it makes her wanted to dance too, the other girls are amazed with his dance, Sua was caught telling something to Jiu's ear.
She said " this one is a real deal, don't let him go" which makes Jiu blush again and don't know what to do.
CEO Lee just continued the performance to rap one, but everyone finds his rap is passable as an idol rapper, which makes Dami feel relieved somehow. After the evaluation, CEO Lee asked him if he already had plans for his future, whether he wanted to be in a group or solo.
Xion then said that since he will be in the hands of the company, he wanted the company to find a group member for him as he wanted to be in a band/idol concept group with 4 members in it. CEO Lee then nodded and asked the others' opinion on Xion as the company's new artist.
His questions made everyone realize that he didn't call them for an audition but assurance and acceptance for Xion as part of Dreamcatcher's Company.
Everyone agrees anonymously and celebrates him.
Xion was then handed 2 Contracts one as an artist and one as a music producer since He also played some of his original composed songs for the girls to listen to.
The CEO then agreed to Xion's request for him to join Made-K's Idol Republic that will start is recording at the start of Summer and finished in the beginning of Autumn but he says that he will pull out Xion of the Program just After the third Announcement.
Since he's sure Xion will definitely passed till final. Xion agreed to it while just saying that he will withdraw because he has to get surgery because of appendicitis so he can't dance or sing for the rest of the programme.. the CEO and him laugh heartily then.
Meanwhile, Aventurine started their International Debut that year ahead of time....
CEO Lee then asked Seonho to help him buy some food and drinks for the celebration and everyone cheered loudly.
The others then move to the first floor to prepare for a feast, but he just signaled Xion and Jiu to stay with him a bit.
Hyesoo happily joined Seonho to buy things and they left together. CEO Lee then faced Xion while Jiu was standing next to her, his aura then changed instantly, and he said, "young man, you dare to propose to my daughter before greet me eh, you got guts..""now tell me, how should i do, which part should i skin you first" he talked threatening Xion.
"Although, she is not my biological daughter, but she is already one for me and also all the other six, now you just came and want to take her away from me.."
Jiu was caught off-guard with Lee Joowon's act and stuttered " CEO-Nim, it's…not… like that, it…" Lee Joowon just cut her short, "And now, you Jiu, trying to persuade me over him… aaah.. I felt betrayed.." Jiu was left speechless and her mind turned blank.
Xion, seeing the atmosphere, tried to think hard to remedy the situation. "CEO-Nim, it's not Jiu's fault, i'm the one that…"
Without thinking much more, Xion just bowed and kowtowed to Lee Joowon and said… "please accept my respect and greetings, abeoji-nim."
"Please, let me take responsibility for Kim Minji in the future", Hearing Xion's innocent pleading, Lee Joowon now was sweating..
His intentional prank just backfired. Just like His late Father, Wang Fenglong, Xion is also witty and has a quick cognitive response, just like when he proposed to Yuyeon.
Jiu, hearing Xion's answer just stared blankly back and forth toward Xion and CEO Lee, not expecting such a situation.
Trying to remedy the uncontrolled situation, Lee Joowon then continued, "good that you know your place" while putting on airs, but it is not easy to please me or to get my approval..
You said before that you will give him daesang.. I want 3 Daesang before I can give you a chance, but we will talk about this in the future, he said while walking away leaving Xion and Jiu.
"And you Jiu, help him up.. and join us if you both have done talking" CEO Lee just left the room and escaped.
After closing the door, CEO Lee cursed silently, "dammit, i was outwitted today… that was not what i expected for" he just walked slowly to his room and wanted to talk to Yuyeon about this matter..
When her senses are back, Jiu just looks at Xion who is still kneeling, with expectant eyes staring at her, hoping that she would help him up.
She then moves her hand towards Xion awkwardly and waits for Xion to reach to her. Xion sees the chance has come, then takes her hand and stands on his feet. He then says " Sorry to put you into such an awkward situation and such, but my feelings are real.
I know it is such a sudden and we are still strangers now, but I will prove it with action, that i am worthy to take responsibility for you, just give me time and watch as i prove everything" Xion speaks confidently while staring at Jiu's eyes.
Jiu whose mind can think clearly now then said, "it's easy to speak rather than prove every spoken word, some can be distorted but some can not be taken back, i'll make it simple for you.
I've heard your wishes but you haven't heard mine so now hear what i'm going to say, Jiu speaks slowly and clearly, which makes Xion's feels the pressure is intensified now.
I will not wait for you to succeed or achieve greatness as I have my own path, you and i are strangers and i don't know what the future tells, there's many more beautiful girls out there in Entertainment Industries that we are working now, and i am not fond of cinderella stories, but i believe time will uncover the truth.
For Now, let's properly introduce ourselves and we can start as colleagues. My name, as you know, is Kim Minji and Jiu as stage names.
I was born on the quarter crescent of the third moon of spring, Jiu was speaking with bravery in the beginning but since Xion was shameless and didn't let her hand go, she became timid mid sentences.
Xion kept his shameless act then spoke, My name is Wang Xion, i was born on the second full-moon of spring, nice to meet you, Jiu-sunbaenim, Xion spoke slowly while staring straight at Jiu and smiled then shook her hand and let it go.
Jiu felt relieved when he let go of her hand and just smiled back. Her sunshine-like personality then came back and she pushed Xion out of the room to meet the others.
That day, everyone just celebrated the joining of Seonho, Hyesoo and Xion to the company and had a welcoming party.
