The Third Release

The stream ended shortly after and they ate dinner together with a felicitous and festive atmosphere. The three families sundered and all went to sleep to rest quietly after doing their evening routine.

Two days later, XXX also released 10-second audio of Kim Sanghoon's new song. People were absolutely excited. Three young artists who were almost inseparable were each releasing their own songs. The 10-second audio was extremely good and people were surprised to hear the amazing quality. Listeners were surprised that all three were lyrical geniuses and could make spectacular songs.

The most excited, however, was the trio of companions. Yejoon and Mingyu had directly gone to his house and stayed there a good time talking and having great conversations. They all thought it was amazing that the three of them would be producing their own songs relatively close in time. Sanghoon joked that he was the last one to release because it should always be best for last. They smirked at him and the three looked at each other competitively,

As it turns out, this song was actually made years ago. The reason why it had not been released was that Sanghoon did not have the courage to submit his song to XXX. He faced extreme pressure and did not want to embarrass himself. Everyone had told him the song was astounding but that added even more to the burden. He frequently asked himself if they were only doing it for courtesy or if their opinion was genuine. He did not want to seem confident in his own song and then come back to be blown off with a big fat rejection.

Whenever Sanghoon told himself he would submit the song, he felt a sinking feeling in his stomach and immediately stopped his actions. He would think them over again and delete the draft.

It was when he saw his two friends releasing their own songs with no hesitation and such brilliant confidence that he decided to give it a try. Boy did it work. While Yejoon and Mingyu made their own songs stroking their guitars, he worked with producers and achieved a more 'pop' sort of rap song. It included brief parts where he sang but most of it was his awe-inspiring rapping. After working with the producers for a while, the song was made and he relished the way the song flowed into his ears. It was a final masterpiece and he thought it was very enjoyable. However, his producers did not think that at all.

They thought it was way more than satisfactory and almost smacked their client in the head when he merely said it sounded nice. Sanghoon who turned almost like a perfectionist muttered that he did not think it seemed as good as Yejoon's and Mingyu's.

Once again, they wanted to smack him upside the head. It sounded if not better, just as good as Mingyu's and the lyrics were more meaningful and had a larger variety. By all means, that was to be expected as Sanghoon was older than his young friend and had already experienced more in his two older years he had been alive.

Sanghoon kept muttering about things that would be better and presented his ideas to the producers. This surprised the producers exceedingly as the supplementary things he suggested made it sound way better. They saw him brooding again and they gazed at him peculiarly.

'Yejoon's still sounds better to my ears.' he thought inside his head.

Undoubtedly, Yejoon's song would have sounded better than both of their's as it literally came from an already matured artist who had already made many top-hit songs. They were younger than 18 years old. It was self-evident which would sound better. It was their first song and many thought they were already exceptionally talented young kids.

His rap song was positive and people that listened to the audio published by XXX shifted into a content mood and would find themselves having a better time in general. I once again mention that was only the 10-second audio. Sanghoon's brilliance at cheeriness and being the ball of sunshine does not come without bonuses.

Once he came in contact with the USB that contained his song, he cradled it gently and looked at it tenderly like a parent. It was his first well-done song and he was glad he had been hesitant before making it. His skills had improved by the years and he sounded way better than before. He changed a few lyrics and added way more flow and smoothness to it. It was like comparing a newbie rapper to a fleshed out, experienced rapper. Not only that, but he also had the assistance of professional producers that added a catchy instrumental to his song. It had a nice beat to it and as Sanghoon would say, it "flowed nicely into the ears."

People who had not yet been aware of who the trio quickly became knowledgeable of them. People encompassing them frequently talked about these three young boys and they could not help but grow inquisitive. They recognized and acknowledged Yejoon from his most recent top-hit song and planted into their memories the faces of Mingyu and Sanghoon.

The hype for these two songs grew tremendously and XXX received e-mails that urged them to release the two songs. XXX Reception was harassed. They received an outrageous amount of calls every day asking when the songs would be released and they would have to, again, repeat the same lines over and over again. The receptionists would have gone irate at these frantic calls if it were not for the recompensation their bosses were given them for the wild number of requests.

Not only that, but the trio were growing increasingly famous on the web. Yejoon's streams were always eye-catching and the fact that even the biggest streaming service in the entire world highlighted his streams proved just how influential he was. Furthermore, clips and pictures of them were constantly sent and received. It had made their handsome faces a way for people to express themselves. People turned the images into text stickers and fans had their faces as profile pictures. Their faces traveled around the internet and they were recognized easily in the streets. XXX students treated them with more respect and used them as their own inspiration. The company had started using them as an example to others and how hard work can bring you to places.

Although it might seem like the three were carefree, they were the most hardworking of all. Just talent did not suffice to become big in the world. There were billions of people; why shouldn't it be possible for others to have more or the same talent you have. That's why hard work is essential in these things, especially when you're younger. It will construct work ethic in your brain and you will easily integrate into the adult part of your life.

Making good habits is good preparation for moving onto the next stage as a teenager.

Coming back, it might now seem commonplace for Yejoon to be receiving all of these benefits from XXX, but remember, XXX is a multimillionaire company that has used others as stepping stones to get to the top. They are literally known around the whole, entire world and for others, the company is the gates to achieving their dreams.

XXX saw the potential in Yejoon and treated him as a valuable resource. It would provide them leverage if he rose up to the ranks and became one of the most exalted artists ever. He was just that talented and appealing. That was also for Sanghoon and Mingyu.

One of the strongest, richest, and most influential companies used them as their current face. The front of their official page had pictures of them that when clicked would show videos and pictures of them working hard. XXX advertised their faces and as the boys grew in influence, so did they. It also had a huge banner on top which showed the countdown for the release of the songs. XXX was powerful.
