Junho and Jinyoung went ahead as Woo-Jin left them, they were greeted by a staff who held their luggage in the meantime, the two were then told to register their names and agency, needless to say both of them were the center of attention as soon as they arrived.
"All right, just go to the stylist and wait till your turn gets called, remember to wear your names when it's your turn."
"What are we gonna do?"
Junho asked the staff who gave him a smile.
"Basically people are already there and when its both of your turn they'll know your agency since we'll flash it on the screen and when you're there just sit anywhere you like after that just wait till the seats are filled both of your are the 36th and 37th to have arrived today but that doesn't mean you'll actually be the 36th and 37th to be called as it will depend on the producer."
Both Junho and Jinyoung nodded they soon followed a staff that showed them to the waiting room.
"Junho are you nervous?"
"Why should we be? We practiced lots already just think of this as another weekly evaluation and we'll be fine."
"Then I'll think of that way, I'm glad that we're in this together by the way."
"Yeah because without me you wouldn't be able to wake up early and try singing."
"And without me you would still suck at dancing and acting."
The two laughed it off and kept making fun of each other until they didn't know how much time had passed, they did noticed that they were the only two persons inside the room along with their stylist.
"Junho and Jinyoung it's both of your turn."
"How long did that take?"
"Perhaps 30 minutes or so?"
"Guess its our turn I wonder what we're gonna see."
Junho and Jinyoung wore their tags on their abdomens, Junho was only wearing a plain white tee and black fitting pants while Jinyoung wore the opposite, they were soon directed to go through the tunnel, as soon as they entered and got out they were greeted by almost a hundred contestants.
Junho and Jinyoung were shocked as they greeted them back, they then looked at the screen to see Pegasus' Logo, as they looked at the remaining seats which was only 68th and the 69th seat left they nodded, as they were approaching they heard whispers but they didn't mind it.
"I'm taking that seat alright?"
"Suit yourself Junho."
While they were taking their seats Junho heard some whispers as his hearing was enhanced.
"Are they brothers?"
"They're really handsome I guess they are from a big agency after all."
"Why does that guy with the white tee look familiar."
"I think they just look better but I think I'm still the one with the best dancing skills."
The two joked about it, since they were at the edge only Jinyoung had a someone opposite to him while Junho didn't they returned their greetings as they greeted back, after a while they soon heard shrieks and yells from the girls while the boys were in awe.
"Hello everyone! How are you? I'm your host and the nation's voice Kim Heechul"
As soon as Kim Heechul introduced himself the rest of them were in awe of who followed after him, it was JYP, Yang Hyun-suk, Lee Hyori, Lee-Seok-hoon, Bae Yoon-Jung and Kwon Jae-seung as well as Choi Seung Hyeon, and lastly Kwon Ji Eung
Needless to say Even Junho was impressed and still shocked he didn't know what would happen now shortly the judges introduced themselves after that Heechul had explained the competition mechanics.
"There are a total of 100 contestants here today, some of you have agencies some of you don't this is your chance to prove yourselves that you're worthy of being the next generation of Idols!"
Everyone clapped their hands as it was exciting for them that they too were one step closer to their dreams.
"But! Only only a total of ten of you will win! 5 from the Boys and from the girls, this will herald the start of the third generation of groups! with that the nation will have heavy influence on who gets to debut so I suggest you all start preparing your Aegyo."
"Contestants are ranked from 1 to 50 from each group, then they are further subdivided into Class S, A, B, and lastly C which will consist of 5, 10, 15, 20 contestants each, each class will have different levels of treatment so do your best!"
"To start off the rankings today everyone is going to present their performances, now let me remind you all it doesn't mean that if you're from the same agency you will have the same grade, everyone will be graded individually! Since Pegasus and Galaxy's agencies are here they are omitted from the grading of their respective agencies!"
Everyone sighed in relief as they knew there was somewhat a bias and that couldn't be avoided sometimes at least this would level the playing field slightly.
"Without further ado let's start the performance!"
Everyone clapped and shortly the lights turned off, then it turned on again, Junho knew it was all for show and that the list had already been prepared ahead, people were being called one by one to prepare their respective performance, after two hours of waiting, watching performances and listening to criticisms it was finally Junho and Jinyoung's turn.
"What are we gonna perform Junho?"
"Wanna debut it today or do you wanna spite JYP?"
"The latter would make for great content the former would be a 50/50 but."
"Are you thinking of what I'm thinking?"
"No"
Junho rolled his eyes and sighed, Jinyoung laughed and nodded eventually as he understood his intent they then motioned towards the staff to get two chairs and play track 1, as Junho and Jinyoung were on stage they were immediately interviewed especially Junho.
"Hello everyone I'm Park Junho, 18"
"My name is Park Jinyoung, 17"
"And we are Double J!"
The two had received claps and laughs especially from JYP, Yang Hyun-suk immediately asked Junho.
"You're Jun right? The one whose been making waved at VTube for about half a year already?"
"Oh he's Jun? I know that person especially his song Can't help falling in love and the korean version, tell me JYP is he really that 'Jun?'"
Lee Hyori asked JYP who had a smug smile on his face, not only were they interested the contestants as well as some of them heard his VTube already some had deduced it was him but they didn't dare say it out loud.
"What about it Junho, are you 'Jun'?"
"Yes."
As soon as Junho answered some were in awe of the news especially the judges, they wanted to know more about him now since he had a following, Yang Hyun-suk then said.
"All right what will the two of you be performing?"
"We'll be performing an Original song."
"An Original song? that's quite gutsy and the first time let's see what you got I'm actually excited."
Jinyoung answered as he nodded, Junho smiled and waved soon they went to their places, the crowed went silent as everyone anticipated their performance they didn't know what to expect since it was an original but they had a feeling it was gonna be a good one.
'wae naeireul oneul gollayaman hae'
'naeil ireul oneul naega eotteoke aneunde'
'heuryeojyeo ganeun gilgwa naye kkumdeul'
As soon as they finished, they heard slow clapping, no one knew who started it but JYP was seen giving a standing ovation.
"Wha't the title of the song?"
JYP Asked as he looked liked a proud father looking at his children.
"Tomorrow, Today."
"Good, Good, alright I think it's the judges turn to comment?"
