Chereads / The Echo of My Soul / Chapter 28 - Singing

Chapter 28 - Singing

After finishing my song, I warmly smiled at the audience,"Thank you everyone for listening to me!"

"Yeah!! It was our pleasure!"

"Omg our true star!"

"Our best idol!"

"Idol and actress, so perfect!"

"Kyaaaa! Very handsome, her brother is just gorgeous!"

They all chanted after each other. Everyone went off on us. They were too happy to be here in this place at this hour. But hehe, not because of this so-called Diva. They were happy to see me and my brother together.

How irritated she must be now. Just with a glance, I could tell.

As for those fans staring at us, I could pretty much tell they were having the most absurd kind of fantasies at this moment.

Some unhinged relationship between me and my brother, maybe. But in any case, they would still love knowing he was a gay and not straight man.

Somehow, those fans of ours always found the most unique topics to be interested in.

Gosh. For such, my little Reno was simply perfect. I adored the fact that he played with me as well although I was pretty vague and confused.

Reno is the perfect brother that I actually had never asked for. My real sisters couldn't give a shit about me, so I guess it was only fair. I was expecting nothing from this relationship due to that.

But I was proven wrong, this relationship truly healed my heart very slowly.

Either way, I was blessed to have him as my brother. He was such a good brother, very kind, gentle, and caring one who's willing to help me even if my requests seemed only crazy and unreasonable.

Someone held my palm, making me flinch. I could feel the Diva dying inside from irritation from her grip.

Now that I think about it, she didn't even try to actually deny her deeds earlier. She was that shameless.

And she had no problems hurting me at all.

My bleeding shoulders say something about that. But oh well. Although that seemed important, it was not the time for me to dwell on these stupid thoughts and pain.

Everything could wait.

"Dear! Did you enjoy my show~? Haha~" I enthusiastically cheered while holding her arm.

Her body was trembling, clearly wanting nothing more than my disappearance from this place. Alas, as my senior, the Diva, Corny, could only cope with me.

As much as it hurts her great pride, it was simply some etiquette. We weren't normal people, we're from the entertainment industry. We had an image to keep up.

Starting a huge scene in front of these cameras and hidden paparazzi would be only a suicide.

She was naturally aware, being the diva, no way she was that stupid. And true to my thoughts, she patted my head with a warm smile.

"Ah darling," She spoke gently, "As usual, your voice is too charming. It's simply impossible for anyone to escape your captivating presence."

As she said that, her eyes glinted a bit. Something looked strange. But fine, if those games were what she wanted, I can easily play along.

"Of course! Ah, that reminds me of those days where you tried to sing with me… I loved listening to you a lot!"

Of course, we never knew about each other's existence until we became famous. But I've heard an interesting piece of confidential information about her.

Corny was unable to sing. I knew she'll never actually do it. Due to how she was simply bad at singing. Although her acting skills were superior, her singing talent would only touch the ground and forever would be unable to reach higher than that.

"The Diva sung before?"

"Oh!"

"She was trying before? Oh, I am curious!"

"Please sing for us!"

"Yes Corny, sing for them please. Your fans deserve just the best from you, you know haha~"

Laughing cheerfully, I hugged her more, enjoying how she was shaking.

Corny, I have no idea why you did what you did to me, but I assume you wish to repeat it. So, it is only fair that I counter attack you.

Happily smiling at her, I handed her the microphone. Reno sensed something and kindly added, "Please sing for us, Corny. We'll be happy to hear you singing for your fans,

"Your voice was quite unique before."

His smile was too genuine as he added, I felt a bit weirded out but it was whatever. I grabbed her shoulder and delivered the last attack with her fans begging her.

"Now, you can never actually disappoint your fans! It's common knowledge!"

"Yes! Please! Do it! Omg Diva pls do!"

They chanted together, but I knew she would never sing. The only time she tried to sing was in an audition, and when she opened her mouth to sing, the producer immediately threw the script at her.

She was that incompetent.

"Umm… I'm sorry, I'm feeling quite unwell now…"

She strummered, her body shaking slightly. She truly looked sick, but the truth is she was only sick of me.

Hugging me warmly and, she said loud enough for everyone to hear, "Can you please take my place? I'll be thankful for that."

Then, whispering lowly, she growled, "You little bitch. I failed once, but it's only this once. I'll deal with you for good soon."

Corny then pushed me away and turned around, going towards her manager while covering her mouth.

Oh well whatever you say, girl. Let me deal with this now and look you up more to see how to exact deal with you.

Fighting your enemy while you yourself were unprepared was a rookie move.

Once she left, I was swarmed by the fans. They all demanded different things from me, but honestly, I felt nauseated and simply wanted to escape.

Since when did I feel being amongst these people was this bad?

Many of their questions were about Reno and me, I explained vaguely how we've been raised together despite us both being adopted. Was Christopher a brother of mine? I wouldn't like to think so.

Maybe that was due to how Mei was after him, or maybe because it just felt wrong having my CEO as my brother. We weren't even raised together, it meant nothing.

We're just siblings by name.

Both of us would agree on that.

Yeah, that would also be in Mei's favor. I could tell she was afraid, but she was slowly feeling something.

When will she understand, though?
