It was the next day and again, he woke up at a 7:20 AM once again and completed his daily routine.
His mom who looked a little exhausted drove him to the academy and upon entering the building his mom drove off. It seemed she would not watch him today.
Yesterday, they had only completed a 2/5s of the video but that was only because the crew was getting to know each other and Yejoon was making mistakes most of the time.
However, his speed has increased dramatically from the first time he appeared in front of the camera. It was as if comparing a snail to an eagle. Yejoon was flying through the shoots in a speed akin to a slightly experienced actor.
His points in the Acting skill, his so-called natural talent and ability to physically do exactly what his brain wished for all factored into a music video that was very fitting for the amazing song. Of course, he could not have done this without the help of the crew. The crew were actually very accomplished in this profession; this was to be expected of XXX. Though no doubt it was also thanks to his willingness to interact and be respectful to them.
Time passed extremely quickly and without realizing it, they had completed the video they had in mind. It actually surpassed their expectations as they all thought it would take longer and be affected by the protagonist's lack of experience.
Everyone that had a part in the shooting was all naturally very surprised and overjoyed. It was not every day that videos from a 13-year-old child could reach the professional, top-level film.
Now, all they needed to do was wait approximately 2 weeks for the editing to finish. The end result would be a perfected and enhanced version of the nearly faultless video.
They had finished a few hours early and decided to have dinner with everyone included to celebrate the success.
Yejoon came back home exhausted and instantly dropped to the bed after showering and brushing his teeth.
He had woken up to messages from his two best friends giving him their best wishes and congratulations for being able to get a music video.
Music videos were generally a sign of accomplishment. Songs that did not achieve fame usually did not get music videos as it would be a waste of resources and the profit and publicity would not be enough to be worth it.
--------------------
About a week later, Mingyu and Sanghoon had come over to officially congratulate Yejoon face to face. They had been busy with school and the academy and just briefly talked about the video.
Mingyu was the first to arrive with a small pocky bag to make fun of Yejoon. However, what he did not expect was a fierce Yejoon taking the bag away from him and keeping it in his chest.
Mingyu wanted to cry but no tears came out. He had planned out the lines he would use to tease Yejoon but it all crumbled under the pocky lover's voracious aggressiveness. Mingyu's dignity returned when he was given a smile and thanked profusely.
Sanghoon arrived a few minutes later. He was hiding his hands behind his back. Suspiciously, Mingyu went behind Sanghoon and took something from behind his hands while smiling depravedly.
Both had wicked smiles on their faces and slowly cornered him.
What made Yejoon even more skeptical was the fact his mom had her phone out, recording them.
Yejoon stuttered his steps nervously and began sweating.
Had the twenty charm made his friends and mother so obsessed with him they were about to satisfy their desires using him?
Yejoon wanted to cry. Why had he added that single point to charm? He was about to be used in a corrupt manner. His life was going so well.
His ridiculously moronic thoughts were interrupted when his friends took out a party foam spray cans and began shooting at him.
He was shocked. Ropes of different colors were shot at him and completely covered his appearance. The dumb things he was saying finally registered and he had the urge to slap himself on the forehead.
The three people that made him think such thoughts were cackling and laughing at his stupidly shocked face.
Yejoon however, had the last laugh when he took the cans and started spraying them as well.
--------------------
Another week later, he was currently celebrating with his parents, his friend's parents, and his friends.
They were now awaiting the release of the song. The editing team had no problems editing his almost flawless video.
They were originally sour they would have to edit this little kid's music video. They absolutely abhorred the idea of doing this as they imagined it would have lots of errors and would have to make an extra effort and work overtime for it.
The editors were very surprised and utterly ecstatic when they saw the quality of the films. They could not easily spot mistakes. The films were impeccable. It was even more undemanding to edit this video than usual ones.
The team worked very comfortably and effortlessly achieved minimum criteria. They went beyond the expectations and were quite satisfied and surprised with how the result turned out under their editing.
XXX wanted to surprise him by showing the breathtaking final product. They, of course, asked him if he wanted to see the video first but Yejoon wanted to be amazed.
XXX would stream the video at exactly 8 PM. Everyone would watch it at the same time and would be able to react and comment on it.
A staggering amount of people had set reminders for this release. The soothing voice that embodied many emotions and the accompanying strong meaning behind the lyrics made it feel as if this was not a song by a child but by an adult that had experienced a lot in life.
Many people wondered what the boy had to go through to write such a song with deep meaning. Yejoon of course quietly coughed and subtly changed the subject.
People had been quietly waiting for the real-time video to start and were chatting and giving out their opinions.
Finally, the release of the video began.
The comment section exploded with an enormous amount of "omg"s.
In My Blood in bold words popped on the screen followed by a Park Yejoon.
Comments were difficult to look at as new popped out before you could read it entirely.
The chat was sending out texts upon texts.
The Korean name would seem like it would repel viewers; however, adding to the fact that entertainment is bigger in this world, it is also more accepting in races, cultures, and beliefs.
The music video began and people had shivers down their spine. They had goosebumps. This feeling of a music video fitting a beautiful song had people in states of serenity.
The music shortly began.
Some people around the world listening to this song were quietly enjoying and admiring the work while others sang their hearts out.
The people he was with were smiling and looking at the boy who had pink hair with admiration and pride.
'I know him.'
While people were enjoying the song and music video, Yejoon was just enjoying his pocky.
