Chereads / The Idol Life / Chapter 12 - Skill!

Chapter 12 - Skill!

It was early morning and Junho had finished his daily quest of exercising he had finally achieved his first stat of 10 but what happened next was out of his expectations.

[ Congratulations for reaching a perfect 10 on Stamina! ]

[ Would you like to Reset Stamina back to 5 in exchange for a skill? ]

He thought on it for a second, he looked at his other stats, he had always wondered why he didn't receive passive skills or the like but now.

[ The System has read the hosts thoughts ]

[ Once host has raised a stat to 10 the system will give the host a choice to either gain a skill by deducting the points earned or keep it as it is until the host has decided to proceed]

[ To make things clearer only appearance will not be affected, as for the other stats it also does not mean the host will lose the quality or knowledge he has earned overtime, the system only wishes for the host to improve on other techniques and areas ]

[ If host has a perfect 10 on any stat bonuses will be applied to that stat as well as to skills if applicable ]

"Well that explains it, so I won't lose my actual stamina so I guess it's a no brainer then"

[ Converting Points ]

[ Stamina 10 > 5 ]

Junho didn't feel anything as it was nothing then he looked at prompt in front of him.

[ Skill Gained : Marathoner ]

[ Marathoner : Stamina consumption when performing his halved, stamina is increased slightly ]

"If I have a skill that can boost my singing and a perfect 10 on that I guess I can only imagine what would happen"

Junho made up his mind to do better it was until then.

[ Hidden Quest Cleared! ]

[ There Are Skills!? Rewards : Draw Ticket X3 , 1 Random Skill Capsule ]

'Open Random Skill Capsule'

[ Earned! Enthrall ]

[ Enthrall : People listening to the Host sing within 30 metres cannot stop listening until the host decides to stop singing they will also be enthralled by him ( Can be toggled and upgraded) ]

[ Host has received an upgradable skill! Upgradeable skills can be upgraded either via an item that can only be acquired via draw tickets or through experience! ]

'Draw'

[ Elixir of Improvement : Upgrades a skill ]

"I won't touch my luck even if it reaches 10! But then again, if my singing reaches 10 coupled with Enthrall."

Junho shuddered and wondered how far would it reach if he had upgraded it, as much as he wanted to upgrade it now he refrained from doing so as he still had a year till the so called program falls onto his laps by then he wanted to have an arsenal of skills.

As Junho was contemplating things he saw a familiar figure up ahead.

"Eomma!"

Junho laughed as he approached Bae Choo-hyun's mother who was holding bags of grocery in her hands.

"Junho, you're up really early."

Junho didn't wait and instantly took the bags into his hands, he didn't mind as he already done it plenty of times before.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"No, my parents are still asleep, Jihyun-noona as well"

"Well then take your breakfast at home I'll cook for you or you can cook for us."

"It's a pleasure"

Mrs. Bae didn't mind as she had eaten Junho's cooking before, she was also friends with his mother as they would sometimes meet in the market early in the morning, she too had dined in Crown Restaurants it was not until Bae Choo-hyun told her who he was that she had demanded to at least try Junho's cooking once and she was not disappointed.

"Ah Tell your mother thank you for giving us a free meal yesterday, Chae-hyun kept pestering your mother about where you and Choo-hyun were"

"I'll tell her later then, what would you like to eat?"

"You decide Junho"

Mrs Bae was all smiled and felt great, soon they had arrived, she saw how Junho had immediately began preparing the dishes, she decided to sit at the couch and close her eyes for awhile as she was a bit tired and shortly after.

"Mrs Bae everything is ready!"

"How long was I asleep?"

"An hour or so"

"I see, thank you so much Junho, take that tray up there and personally send it to Choo-hyun, tell me later how she'll react."

She didn't waste time as she sat down, she didn't know if it was a normal breakfast since the plating was excellent it felt like she was at top restaurant once more even though Junho had only prepared egg rolls, fried rice and Kimchi stew but it felt different.

Junho followed what she had told him, he prepared for Bae Choo-hyun portion and immediately went to her room while Mrs. Bae would call Chae-hyun.

Junho opened the door to Choo-hyun's room it wasn't his first time here as Chae-hyun had toured him already, he saw that Choo-hyun was slowly waking up, she then rubbed her eyes as she looked at Junho.

"Jun-ah? What are you doing here early in the morning?"

"Hyu-"

"Stop! Put the tray down there and kiss me in the forehead like you usually do."

Junho followed her orders, he was skeptical if she was thinking it was still a dream but he didn't mind and followed what she had told him.

"Now sit there and do what you're supposed to do."

Choo-hyun had closed her eyes and Junho kissed her forehead, he was suddenly surprised as Choo-hyun instantly hugged him tight.

"I hate how we have the same dream, I wish we would have wanted to be normal people instead of being idols then everything would be perfect."

Junho could feel Choo-hyun's heavy sigh as she held him tightly than before.

"I hate that we have to endure and stop for half a decade or so but don't worry when I'm super famous and rich I'll break our contracts!"

Junho didn't say anything yet as he saw Choo-hyun was all smiles, he couldn't resist and brought his face closer to hers.

"Hey you're not supposed to do that!"

"Too late Hyun-ah"

It was at this moment Choo-hyun realized something was wrong.

"Jun-ah!"

"Thank you for the breakfast."

Both Choo-hyun's parents heard her shout but didn't mind and didn't ask why she was suddenly silent as the food Junho prepared was too good even Chae-hyun who didn't plan to eat suddenly had eyes lit up as soon as she heard Junho prepared them shortly they saw Choo-hyun walk down from the stairs.

"Oh have you eaten already?"

"No, I told Jun-ah to set my food here since I want to eat with you guys."

"Poor Junho, he's not your servant you know."

"He is for now."

Junho then arrived as he chuckled and placed down Choo-hyun's food, he too sat down with her family as they ate.

"Oppa! can you make me food for lunch later?"
