Chapter 20 - Change

"So You were Jun all this time"

Jinyoung approached Junho as he was exercising, to him it made him happy that his friend was successful.

"Yeah, I'm sorry for keeping it from you."

"It's fine Junho, I fully support you since I know you'll support me too in the future."

"Ah right, now the cat's out of the bag I have something in mind."

"What is it?"

"Want to duet?"

Junho knew it was a matter of time, with his small popularity JYP could either scrap him joining the survival show or debut him with Jinyoung and they become the iteration of JJ Project instead since it coincided with his name.

"I don't know will they even allows us to?"

"I think they will, besides even If I'm a good song writer I don't know how to create dance choreography's and you're better at it than me."

"I mean I'm down to do it but the recording studio, the dance studio."

Junho flashed the keys to the recording studio and smiled at Jinyoung, he then put his arms around his shoulder and gave him a thumbs up and whispered to him

"How did you even."

"Don't tell anyone yet but I'm also a producer, I wrote 'Fine' and 'Switch to me'"

Jinyoung's eye's widened at the sudden piece of information given to him, he didnt' even doubt it as he had followed his VTube account and 'Adore U' was one of his favorite song so he instantly believed it.

"All right I won't ask, but why are you even a trainee anyway if you're already this successful shouldn't you be at least be a successful soloist by now?"

"Well I have my reasons."

As the two were discussing what to do in their free time, Woo-Jin had a headache.

"There that should be enough."

Woo-Jin had applied for Junho's unofficial fan cafe that his fans had created since he had released a statement and video last night, for some reason they called it 'Ruler's Domain' which had a nice ring to it if it were a manhwa and they somehow unofficaly called Junho 'Ruler' from his name 'Jun'.

"Saesangs really scare the shit out of me."

He posted a behind the scene photo of Junho singing a cover as well a picture with him but he had covered his face, he had told everyone on the forum that he was his manager, after posting it he was given a moderator badge as well as admin privileges, he then saw the comments.

'@RulersManager Can you give us more information about his debut date?'

_ '@TheLee There's no exact information right now but watch out in the future.'

'@RulersManager Do you have any more pictures?'

_ '@KimeeFication I do, I'll post them once in a while if I'm free'

'@RulersManager Is he single?'

_ '@SAEsang Ask him when you meet him'

Although there were tons of questions he replied to the ones that were easy to answer, he didn't mind since he thought it was fun, although it was an unofficial one but it would only be a matter of time when it'll become official.

He told them to not be unruly instead be nice to people and not start random fan wars as he knew how messy it could get, he left a message to them saying that waiting for him to debut and supporting him was the best thing they can do for now, although he also knew there were some that won't heed his advice what mattered is that at least he has a starting point.

"Fame is a scary thing."

Woo-Jin then went to JYP's office as he was called, he didn't know why but he had a feeling that something was about to happen, as soon as he arrived he saw JYP looking at his new trophies.

"Say it already."

"I guess I now know where Junho learnt from, anyway the program has been pushed up and will be starting three weeks from now."

"But the auditions?"

"They've already started since last week and frankly screening thousands have not been easy since the two of you were busy with Taeyeon's 'Fine' I don't blame both of you for not noticing it but."

"What is it this time."

"I was planning on debuting both Junho and Jinyoung and call it the JJ Project, but with the show going on, instead of originally sending Junho alone I'll be sending him along with Jinyoung."

"Wouldn't that derail your plan on Junho becoming a leader?"

"It doesn't, I've heard that Jinyoung listens to Junho really well since he's older than him by a year so I doubt Jinyoung would want to be the alpha between them."

"I don't want have a say in that, but are you also telling me to manage JJ Project or the group Junho debut's in?"

"No, You'll be his personal manager from now on, I mean you've infiltrated his fan cafe successfully have you not?"

Woo-Jin flinched at JYP's words

"I mean"

"I saw your post, I've joined in as well but I didn't reveal who I was but that doesn't matter I'm giving you full control over Junho."

"All right I'll do my best, say what's the program called."

"It's called 'NEXT''

"That sounds fairly good I guess, so what's the mechanics?"

"It'll be a three month program, and after it ends three more months will be dedicated to train them more, there will be a total of 100 contestants, 50 Male and Female contestants, since I'd like to scout also this way and I'm sure Hung-suk would as well, but ultimately only one group will win."

"So who will you send from the females?"

"No one, I've decided I wont, instead I'll poach from the show and offer them a spot in my next show instead besides they're all for my third generation."

"Junho?"

"Late second and early third generation along with Jinyoung."

"All right I'm guessing you want me to call them right here right?"

"Of course, I'm going to explain the situation and what they have to do."

"Guess Junho's going to be sad for awhile."

"Why?"

"It's nothing special, just focus on your program and I'll focus on Junho's growth."
