Inauguration

A lot of practicing and singing was done this week. The XXX academy had high expectations for them and they could not afford to waste time or make mistakes. They practiced a lot every day and came back home exhausted. Mingyu and Yejoon's mothers still did not know Kim Sanghoon or his mother so they did not invite him to their gatherings but they still spent most of their time together in the academy.

Time flew by quickly and it was almost time for the annual singing showcase.

There were many advertisements on many websites, videos, buildings, and papers that advertised the showcase. People were excited for this year and anticipated an amazing display.

This was one of the main yearly shows as XXX spent a lot of money on this single showcase and competition. Not as many professions were as pursued and loved as singing.

The pressure was on everyone participating in the show as this year there were more tickets being sold and more celebrities attending the performance. It was as if everyone was presuming this would be the best show they would ever watch.

The XXX company wanted to have both boys to dye their hair temporarily to add variety and a colorful feeling to the inauguration. With the permission of their parents, Yejoon chose pink and Mingyu chose blue.

Yejoon was currently practicing by himself. He wanted to make the dance muscle memory and look as perfect as it could. He'd done many performances over the past few months in XXX because there were small class presentations. Nevertheless, this would probably be his best performance yet. He had never practiced singing a song so much. Each note was hit perfectly and came out beautifully. He had never practiced a choreography so much. Each move looked smooth and naturally aligned with the song. He was feeling pressure and needed to make sure everything would be absolutely perfect. This was one of the few things he could not fail. It would determine whether he came out as a joke and a disappointment for XXX or a rising star that would inspire awe from others.

Of course, he would not let the pressure affect his practice. He was patient and made sure to record himself to see what he could do well and fix. The saying 'haste makes waste' is true. If you try to perfect something in a short amount of time it would surely come out with thousands of mistakes and would not be something that highlighted your skills.

The day was soon over and he went to sleep.

Tomorrow was the big day.

--------------------

Yejoon woke up at 9 AM feeling very comfortable and without any dizziness from waking up. He made a shout of excitement to wake up and went to change. It was Saturday and the competition would start at 5 PM, end at 8 PM. It would continue at 7 PM on Sunday and end at 10 PM. This might seem like very long but there would be many people that would be performing many songs. There would also be the occasional very successful singer to keep the hype up.

The artists were not required to stay the full time but for the sake of respect, most likely everyone would stay to watch.

The performers were allowed to wear anything they wanted. Yejoon and Mingyu had agreed to dress similarly. They would wear Timberland boots, skinny fit jeans, and a simple white shirt.

*BEEP* It was now 10:30 AM

Yejoon did his daily routine of washing his face, brushing his teeth, applying a few creams and a light vocal exercise to get his voice active from hours of sleep. The time passed quickly.

*BEEP* It was now 12:30 PM.

His mom drove him to XXX and parked. After that, she walked with him to the biggest building where the beginning ceremony took place.

There were actually a few early people that came to say hello and have the privilege to say they saw the ceremony from before it began to when it ended.

It seemed the huge stage had a retractable roof as this time the beautiful clear view of the sky was seen instead of the black he saw at first.

He waved at them and saw Mingyu entering the building. They did some light homiesexual activities like calling each other handsome but quickly got to business.

They greeted each and every single person that would take assist in the performance and wished them good luck.

The respectful boys quickly became quite known by everyone and their respectful behavior incurred a happy and cooperative ambiance from everyone.

It was important to know everyone and make sure you had a good impression on them as people that would help like the special effects people or the lights and sound would give more of an effort.

*BEEP* It was now 1 PM

They were met with Kim Sanghoon and the trio talked a lot. Even though Sanghoon was slightly older, they did not meet with any age barrier that made it awkward.

Slowly, everyone that would partake in the initial performance with them arrived and they all discussed the dance and smiled at each other.

*BEEP* It was now 3 PM

They had eaten a fulfilling and appropriate lunch for the concert.

They went to a staff-only room and were greeted by many important staff members. They introduced themselves conversed with the influential people before they were led to different rooms hoping everyone a happy concert day.

*BEEP* It was now 4 PM

Yejoon and Mingyu, the main stars of the opening performance were taken to a makeup room and the rest were taken to put on their special clothes.

The boys had their soft hair adjusted and their clothes smoothed out. They were made to look the best and prepared they ever have. They even had light makeup which further accentuated their appeal.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP* It was now 4:50 PM

They could hear the number of people talking, shouting, cheering, and voicing their excitement. There were an absurd amount of people, all with great expectation. They would not disappoint the audience.

The audience was extremely excited. They all felt the thrill when they entered the stage. They felt excited when other people started yelling in excitement. They felt inspired when fellow concert go-ers talked to them about their favorite songs and who they expected to perform in the concert. They made bonds with others and waited for the concert to start. There was an equal amount of females and males all manifesting their enthusiasm.

[*DING*]

[A quest has been given to the host!

Blowing the audience out of their minds!

Rewards: ???]

The System did not explain anything else and kept mysterious.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

Time to enter the stage...

...…...

The sky was a beautiful color of purple, red and orange with beautiful clouds. It made for an ethereal sight.

Abruptly, smoke came out of the concert stage and everyone turned their attention to it. People in black masks came out of the mist and made themselves known by posing.

A few seconds passed and lights from all colors were pointing towards the stage.

The mist quickly dissipated.

There, Mingyu and Yejoon in simple clothing with their blue and pink hairs posed taking all of the attention.

'Older sisters' squealed and yelled in excitement and passion at these new young and handsome talents.
