44 Resurfacing 3

Tiring was an understatement for a recording session like this. Daeho had practiced the dance for a month and trained to the point where every move was engrained to his muscles, but the recording was just another level of stress.

He had performed on and on again, in different locations, the crew and the trainees were exhausted and in the latter part of the recording days, mistakes just began to pile up from both sides. The trainees mostly, obviously in this category, Daeho was included.

It was actually just too mentally taxing for everyone and once they knew that they had finished the recording period, it was bliss, to say the least.

Just thinking about the number of replays and redos that they had done, made them want to just smash their heads on a wall.

After all, the company wanted the mv to stand out, and be up to par with their expectations. So even a miss in the choreography was enough to redo and go at it once more. From recording with a set of clothes to changing on and on again.

Just a tiring row of times. Daeho had it the worst since as the center there was a lot of focus on the top of him. Just a slight mistake and it would ruin the entire performance. So at the end of it all, Daeho just wanted to for a change go home and stay there for 2 to 3 days.

And that is what he prepared himself to do. Just staying home and procrastinating for a change. Daeho was expectant and very excited to see the episodes where his friends had been aired. The show where Oliver was participating was called 'The 100 project' and Jun/ Allan was in the MWI 'Most Wanted Idol'.

Daeho had never heard of these shows before, so he had done some research on the type of show his friends were participating in.

The 100 project which Oli was participating in was just a show where 100 idols would battle it out until there was 1 left. It was just like a battle royale of idols and the last standing would win. It was more of an exposure type of show. The idols went there and would show their qualities to the audience, there would be challenges and most important Drama. What is a show of idols without drama?

The trainees were living together and in the middle of 100 people obviously, drama is bound to unfold. Different people different personalities, different types of drama.

'' Epic.'' Daeho thought.

Meanwhile, in each episode, 10 people would be eliminated. Until there were only 10 trainees left. Where the last episode would be aired and the winner would be shown.

And coincidently on the very first day of procrastination of Daeho, the 2nd episode of the show would be coming out.

Daeho felt sad because he didn't see the 1st episode of the show, which made him feel like he was failing as a friend.

He had the notion that as a friend he should support his friends in the good and bad moments.

Meanwhile, MWI is similar to the show Oli was participating in. To be fair Daeho was more worried about Oli since he was staying in a show alone, while Jun and Allan were together which lessened a lot of problems.

Watching the 1st episode of the show Daeho was actually quite happy, the camera had focused on his friends. The charisma on Oliver especially was up there for sure.

Funny enough to see him all nervous and just fiddling around with his hands and in the end he surprised the people of the audience with a staring contest with another trainee.

Daeho just heard the commentator saying.

''We can feel the tension building from the stares these two trainees are showing each other, without blinking.''

While the image of the cameras just split into two the image of the familiar cheery guy Oliver and another trainee who had a serious vibe to him. They were looking at each other without saying anything.

After a bit, Oliver blinked and surprisingly clicked his tongue.

This action actually surprised Daeho who was watching quite a bit. But the next moment watching Oliver just cheerfully smiling and hugging the man he had a staring contest with, clarified many things. The trainee wasn't weirded out by any means.

''Brother!! Is good to see you again.''

The man who was hugged just smiled. '' I see that you haven't changed one bit Oli.''

In which in response Oliver just puffed his cheeks and looked on the other side. ''Obviously Brother, but how could you not come to talk to me sooner?'' He said while turning his gaze to the man he had called brother and looking at him as if an abandoned puppy.

In return, the trainee just laughed hard.

Daeho had to applaud on the genuine abandoned look Oli gave, his worries about the loneliness of Oliver were actually cleared, he had managed to interact with many of the trainees. As expected of the outgoing guy.

But the worries were cleared on one side and went to the other side since Jun was actually a person of little words. And faced with a couple of trainees trying to know each other and being faced with silence, had driven his reputation to a cold side, and while Allan was there for the rescue the opinion of the other trainees on Jun had soured.

After watching the episodes and going through a sentimental rollercoaster, Daeho went to see the response of the public to the episodes.

Unsurprisingly Oliver was spoken about a lot, his cheerful personality did wonders to the public. He expected a lot of criticism on Jun for his awkward behavior but surprisingly the majority of the comments about him were positive, talking about how handsome he was and how cool he looked. Meanwhile, Allan had the least comments but mostly positive too, especially so with people calling him Big Brother and how he covered for Jun throughout the episodes.

Daeho was genuinely happy for them and hoped they stayed and ranked up there on the show.

The shows had shown them performing and Daeho realized he wasn't the only one progressing, his friends too were getting better and better, something he was happy about. And brought his fighting spirit to all times high.

Well first of all sorry. Last week I did write the chapter, and well it was going until the light went down. Don't know why. My pc went off and bam No chapter. I got mad and went to write another time. Other times, that didn't actually come or come but I didn't feel good bout the chapters and deleted and rewrote. Still think the last chapter is a bit weird to me I don't know... I am doing a project outside of school like I am building something, so yay! it sucks to say but my brain just can't focus while writing.

I read the comments and thank you for the stones guys, appreciate it. BTW I got an offer to make a contract. :D but well... It brings issues to plans and I'm thinking about that too.
