Chereads / The Idol Life / Chapter 2 - School

Chapter 2 - School

A month had gone by since Junho arrived, he had gotten used to training his body and even added some more exercises needless to say he had cleared a hidden quest to add more stats.

After a month this was Junho's first draw ticket, he couldn't buy it from the shop nor did he buy anything else as he left his points untouched for now as he was still looking for auditions, he knew his final year would start soon but he didn't mind it as it was third on his priorities because he knew if ever he would fail he already knew where to invest just incase for emergencies.

"What if I set up my own agency but then I guess that would defeat the purpose of me being a trainee and enjoy the torturous Idol Life."

Junho knew the in's and out's of being an Idol as he had observed them for decades he even managed one, he wanted to experience what they experienced despite it being hard but he also had a way to make sure he would surely debut and that was to write the songs or precisely buy the songs in the shop.

Junho looked at the time as it was already time for his class, he took his bag and books although he hated school he had to admit at least a year of going to school before pursuing his career was calming to him as he had nothing else to think about aside doing his quests and applying for agencies.

'Haknam High School, Park Junho'

"Why do I feel like I'm missing something?"

-

"Hey this is your last year do well and maybe I'll give you a surprise."

Jihyun dropped Junho as she always does, Junho nodded and hugged shocking Jihyun, she then came back to her senses but as soon as she did Junho already ran towards the highschool.

"Aigoo this brat."

Junho looked his I.D once again and then at the post to confirm his section, he immediately went in, he knew he was early but as soon as he entered he was stunned, not because there was someone else aside from but because that person aside from him was one he knew personally, he had wrote songs for their group which were hits but he never had a chance to interact with them, it was then he remembered.

"Bae Choo-hyun?"

Junho blurted out her name which caused her to look, today they were alone for now, Bae Choo-yun raised her eyebrows as if asking what did he need, Junho saw her icy eyes it was as if he was meeting her again for the first time he knew she was repulsive of men unless they were her close friends and he doubted that they were as it had been a long time ever since he was young again.

"Well are you gonna tell me what you need Junho? It looks like you saw a ghost."

"Ah It's nothing it's just"

"Just what?"

"It's nothing really"

Bae Choo-hyun shook her head and continued looking outside, Junho didn't waste time and sat beside her, he waited to see what her response would be but he was shocked when he heard her say.

"What happened Junho? You've been staring at me ever since you've arrived I know I'm beautiful and you can't stop staring but seriously it looks like you have something troubling your mind?"

"Well I still can't believe that we're graduating and that I don't know when I'll get to see this beautiful view of mine again."

This time it was Bae Choo-hyun's turn to sigh but there was a tint of red in her cheeks as soon as she heard what Junho said as she wasn't dense to understand what he had meant.

"It sucks to be you then, but on a serious note."

Junho was surprised at her sudden change of aura and expression but then again it was as expected Choo-hyun then motioned for him to get closer as she saw some people had arrived.

"You know once I'm a trainee I won't be able to date anyone until I'm famous enough right?"

Junho then coughed and turned red as he didn't expect for Choo-hyun to say that as she followed it up with a wink on a flustered Junho.

'What the hell when did we become close friends and what is with that line it either I can't remember or that this is new'

Junho regained his thoughts and calmed himself, he then looked at Bae Choo-hyun who had a smug face as she waited what he would retort.

"Then let's date now, stop when we become trainee's, and once we're both famous enough let's continue where we left off then?"

"You!"

"Oh look everyone's here"

Junho didn't look at her anymore as the teacher had came in, leaving a flustered Bae Choo-hyun though he still had wondered and tried remembering what their relationship was like during high school as it was already too long ago for him to remember.

-

"Hey!"

Bae Choo-hyun followed Junho who had left immediately she wanted to give him a piece of her mind as it wasn't that fun to teaser a girl then leave her hanging like that especially the way he delivered it, although she wasn't like this but she still followed him shortly she saw him enter a music room.

"What's he doing here? I do know he's planning to be an Idol like me but."

As soon as she opened the door Junho was there who went to the piano and placed his hands on the key's but before he could play, Junho noticed and looked at her in surprise as he thought she too would leave immediately.

"What are you doing here Choo-hyun?"

Junho asked, since Choo-hyun called him casually he decided to talk to her casually as well he didn't know how deep their relationship was but he knew that Choo-hyun certainly knew as after he became a failed idol in his past life and proceeded to be a successful producer he cut off ties with everyone as he was focused and immersed in producing the best songs as a way to cope up with his regrets but this time he wouldn't do it as he knew that having someone to lean on was something he lacked and craved for like his family.

"I could be saying the same to you."

"To be frank I don't have a Piano at home yet and I've asked the teacher to practice today besides I'm here to play a song."

"What song?"

"It's an original, I just thought of it during class"

Bae Choo-hyun didn't say anything, Junho nodded and began playing, as he played the mood became different even Choo-hyun was wondering what song would he had thought during the time they were in class, for some reason she felt that the mood became heavy all of a sudden.

"Jigeum i mari"

"Uriga dashi"

"Shijakhajaneun geon anya"

Junho was fully immersed, he was the one that wrote that song, he remembered giving it to one of the members of Day5, he remembered his past life, his past failed relationships and what he was going through, he wanted to cherish the memories at the same time embrace the new ones he was about to make, as soon as the last key had played he then looked at Bae Choo-hyun whose eyes had turned red.

"There's something in your eyes."

"I know dumbass"

"So what do you think?"

"Your singing is really bad"

"You were beautiful."

"I know"

"That's the title of the song."

"I know dumbass you kept repeating it!"

"Sure you were"

Choo-hyun rolled her eyes and wiped it as well, she then looked at Junho who stood up.

"Are you coming or no?"

"Since when did you think I'm coming with you?"

"You're not leaving?"

"Fine"
