7 Idol Rising [1]

Dance...Every Idol must know how to dance, it was common fact that everyone knows.

I also know that fact, so I tried my best increase my dancing skills but it didn't increase at all.

My Dancing skill were terrible, Because of that I can't count how many numbers of debut opportunity I had lost while I was trainee.

There was guy who joined later then me but debut first.

He barely made it to debut group and was released instantly by company.

It was all because of dancing, If i know how to dance properly i would have debut long ago before that guy.

I didn't give up being on Idol because I was kicked out of TNTN debut group, that was just excuse.

The real reason was my terrible dancing skills.

But if I somehow managed to overcome that weakness....

To find out, I repeated the same experiment as before but this time I didn't experiment with ball.

I'm going to dance....

As I stood in front of the makeshift camera setup, a sense of determination welled up inside me. Dancing had always been my Achilles' heel, the one skill that held me back from achieving my dream of becoming an idol. But today, I was determined to change that.

With a deep breath, I began to move to the rhythm of the music, my body swaying awkwardly as I attempted to replicate the dance moves I had learned over the years. Despite my best efforts, my movements were stiff and clumsy, lacking the fluidity and grace of a true dancer.

Frustration gnawed at the edges of my mind as I struggled to keep up with the choreography. Each misstep felt like a dagger to my heart, a painful reminder of my own inadequacy. But I refused to give up. I knew that if I wanted to succeed, I would have to push through the discomfort and keep pushing forward.

After completing the first recording, I took a moment to collect myself before moving on to the next step. This time, I watched the original creator of the dance perform it on YTube, studying his movements with laser-like focus. I analyzed every step, every gesture, committing them to memory as best as I could.

Then, with newfound determination, I began to dance again, this time following the choreography of the original creator. As I moved, I could feel a subtle shift in my body, a newfound sense of confidence and purpose coursing through my veins.

With each step, I felt myself growing stronger, more sure of myself and my abilities. Gone were the awkward movements of before, replaced by a newfound fluidity and grace.

After i stopped my dance, I looked at the result.

I couldn't help but widen my mouth in shock.

Oh my god! It works, right?

It was something I thought about just in case, but it was really possible.

Even though the video was taken less than a minute apart, my movements were surprisingly different.

"…!"

I felt literally at a loss for words.

Would you say it feels like the stars decorating the night sky are falling towards me?

It was distant and unrealistic.

Is it a dream that the problem of my entire life, the reason why I was cut from the debut group, has been resolved so easily?

My legs became weak and I sat down.

A chill ran through my jeans on the hard winter sand, but I sat down blankly and looked up at the sky.

Stars rising in the night sky.

The moon was floating in the sky, half-covered in clouds.

I looked at it all and recalled what happened today.

From the time I saved an elderly person and watched an action movie at the hospital.

From being interviewed to coming to the playground to test my abilities.

All of this was true, It's not dream.

At the start, I was denaying the reality, Saying that it made no sense, After all I'm not leaving on fantasy or Iskai world aren't I?

But the more I experimented, The more I became convinced.

I don't know why or how, but it was crystal clear that I had some kind of ability.

Some kind of suparpower that no one has in the world.

It was absurd and childish that I brust out in laughing.

"Hahahahahah.... Hahaha... Hahaha."

I laughed like crazy, It was very refreshing for me.

After the laughing for so long as if that I lost my mind, I shook off the dust from my butt and stood up.

With small smile on my face I look toward starry night sky.

'Now... Dancing was no problem for me.'

3 years ago, I told Raju that I would give up being on Idol after i kicked out of the MJ Entertainment.

But I couldn't sit still and audition serval times but the result were same as before.

After failing servel times i accepted to reality that I was not meant to be an Idol.

But...It's different now.

Dancing was no longer a barrier for me. With this newfound ability, I could finally pursue my dream of becoming an idol without fear or hesitation. It was as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I felt lighter than I had in years.

As I stood there, bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight, a sense of determination welled up inside me. I refused to let past failures define me any longer. From now on, I would forge my own path, one step at a time, until I reached the pinnacle of success.

This is the path I walked on, To be greatest Idol out there in world.

"Whoa! I have to say you really did spend quite money, bro."

"Haha, told you, I have company credit card on me. You can eat anything you want."

"Oh I will do that." Saying that i looked towards the food in front of me.

Chicken Scarpariello, Florentine Butter Chicken, Pork Chop Milanese.

All of these are foods that's i like very much.

Slowly I started eat Chicken Scarpariello.

As I took the first bite of the Chicken Scarpariello, the savory flavors exploded in my mouth, sending waves of satisfaction coursing through my body. Each bite was a symphony of taste and texture, a perfect harmony of tender chicken, tangy peppers, and aromatic herbs.

With each mouthful, I savored the rich flavors and succulent juices, relishing every moment of this indulgent feast. It had been so long since I had enjoyed a meal like this, and I was determined to make the most of every bite.

As I continued to eat, Raju watched me with a satisfied smile, clearly pleased to see me enjoying the food.

With my part time income it would be hard for me to eat all these amazing foods but with Raju here, there is nothing to worry about.

"By the way, Are you alright?" Raju looked at me and slowly said as I was eating the food.

Hearing his words I stopped eating and looked towards him and asked

"What?"

"The college entrance exam. I read in the article that you prapaird for that exams for 2 years."

"Yeah, I did. It's unfortunate but it can't be helped. How can we change something when it's already happened?"

"It doesn't make sense."

"What are you saying? I'm used to this by now."

I answered with a smile.

"When did my life go the way I wanted it to? If everything goes as my wish, I would have become a star in Asia by now. Even though studying is a waste, I think there is nothing I can do about it."

After pausing for moment, I continued

"I can't change what happened, so if I waste my emotions, I'll only lose."

"Your diamond-like mentality is still the same."

"It's not a diamond, it's something like gold.

It's not real gold, but it's slightly impure gold."

Raju laughed at my joke as if he couldn't stop me.

"What does your grandma say?"

"What can not she say? You should asked me about that."

I shuddered as I remembered the phone call we had just a few hours ago.

"She used all kinds of swear words that primates can use. Do you know what a chinchilla is, bro?"

"Even the chinchilla came out?"

"I could make the 12 signs of the zodiac out of the animals my grandmother cursed at. If she wasn't for my grandmother, I would have sued her."

"I guess she said it because she was worried about you."

"I know."

I wasn't angry at my grandmother for being angry towards me. After all i threw myself towards the car to save someone else and in doing so I could died out there.

She would have left alone in the world, and I don't want that to happened.

She already lost her son and I don't what she do to herself if she lost me to.

Suddenly my mood became sour as I thought about that.

"Brother, Why don't we talk about something else? Also the test of this alcohol is no good."

"You know that you are drinking cola right?"

"Don't you know? Cola is also an Alcohol."

"Since when did cola become an alcohol?" Raju raised an eyebrow, amusement evident in his tone.

"Since now!" I chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. "But you're right, let's talk about something else. How's work treating you?"

Raju leaned back in his chair, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. "It's been busy, as usual. But I can't complain. At least I still have a job, right?"

"True," I nodded, grateful for the opportunity to change the subject.

"Raju."

"Huh?"

"So tell me, Why did you asked me to meet you so suddenly?"

Taking deep breath Raju opened his mouth,

"Now, From where should I began this...?"
