Chapter 16
Slowly, while stopping for every few seconds, Jun wrote all the lyrics of the song and then said, "Minho, all these rapping parts are yours." As Minho wrote all of it down, Jun put a cross mark on those lyrics and looked at other parts while playing the song multiple times. The parts with high notes are obviously his. And carefully, he divided the parts in half an hour.
Looking at the time, Jun said, "guys, there's still more than two hours left. Let's do this." All of them nodded, "yes."
One and half an hour later, with a smile on their faces, the group went to the Production department on the sixth floor and went to Producer Sujin cabin. As she saw them, Sujin asked, "Did you all memorize the lines?" As Jun and others nodded with confidence, Sujin became surprised, "are you guys telling me that you all managed to memorize all the lyrics?" Jun and others looked at each other in a confusion and Minsu asked, "Sujin sunbae, aren't you the one, who told us that?"
Sujin replied, "I only said to divide the parts by your selves. You can just note down and sing looking at it. No need to memorize the line, now though. Don't tell me you guys skipped the language cla.s.s and practiced until now." As they looked at each other once again, Sujin waved her hand, "anyway, let's hear it. Sing it for me, now."
Four minutes later, Sujin, who was smiling widely from the start, clapped, "everyone did a great job. Although you three, Minsu, Dohyun, and HaeSeong made mistakes in the lyrics, I'm impressed. Still, there are many parts, which need to be rearranged. In my opinion, I'm sure you all can pull it off better than Galaxy."
"Eh? Galaxy?" as everyone was surprised, Sujin said, "by now, you must have known about the news, right?" Jun nodded, "yeah, we just saw a couple of hours ago. It is really a surprise for me, how their manager didn't stop and even actively partic.i.p.ated in it."
Sujin sighed, "It's regrettable but we can't do anything about it. Anyway, you don't need
As Jun and others also bowed, Sujin asked, "Come to think of it. I forgot to even ask the important thing. What's your group name?" Jun replied, "Actually, the Chairman told us that we can pick our name by ourselves but we haven't decided yet. We thought it would be better after getting a song."
Sujin smiled, "ok, now that you got the song, then, think of a group name soon then. To try to distract the people from the scandal, you all going to debut way earlier than you imagine."
After that, they went directly to their apartment and just sat together on the sofa in the living room. Jun then asked, "So, anyone have any ideas?"
Minsu then replied, "how about Strikers?" Everyone instantly turned towards him. "What? Isn't it cool?" as Minsu asked them, Minho replied, "We are not choosing a baseball team here."
Minsu then said, "how about the Universe?" Minho, once again, objected to it, "nope. It sounds like Galaxy." Then, Minsu began to suggest a bunch of words continuously while Minho kept on objecting it. As he got tired, Minsu turned to Jun and asked, "Hyung, do you have any names in your mind?" As Jun thought about it, all he could think about names like BTS, EXO, GOT7, s.h.i.+nee, Super Junior, etc… He shook his head, "no, none I could think that fit our team.
Then, HaeSeong stood up and said, "Actually, I already compiled a list of names ready with me for a while. There are around 50-60. I saved them on my laptop."
Minho then spoke, "oh, great. Why are you silent all this while? Copy it to pen drive and bring it here, immediately. We can connect to Television and look over them to decide which one is better." Then, Dohyun spoke, "I also have a bunch of names in my mind." Minho replied, "good. The more, the better."
Jun then stood up and spoke, "guys, how about this. We each choose two of the best names in our mind and gave to the company. They will choose an ideal one, fit for us." Minsu nodded, "hmm, yeah, let's do that. Even we go through the list, we might not get into the same page and unnecessarily quarrel over it."
The next day, in the early morning, as Dohyun, Minho, and HaeSeong were asleep, Jun and Minsu went to the Gym, which is at the end of the street. Jun never went to the Gym used by idols in the Block after that minor incident. Entering the Gym, while Jun is on the treadmill, increasing his speed, Minsu was training his muscles with weight lifts. A while later, looking at time 05:45, Jun stopped running and walked towards the showers to fresh up and clean his sweat.
After returning from the shower and changed his clothes into his usual loose full t-s.h.i.+rt, he saw Minsu was still exercising and he's doing Barbell bench press, right now. Looking at the weights, Jun walked towards him with a laugh as he increased it again while the trainer is warning him not to do it. As he reached him, Jun said, "Minsu, listen to him. he's right. You are light-weight. 200 Lbs is too much for you."
Minsu replied, "c'mon, Hyung, let me try. You should also try weights. Otherwise, how will you gain enough muscle? We are going to be stars. We need a good body to show it off." As Jun shook his head with a smile, Minsu used all of his strength to lift it successfully, and spoke to the trainer, "don't worry, I don't need help here."
Seeing his good, as the trainer walked away, Jun saw the nerves appeared on his hands and Minsu's face became red. While he was about to laugh, Minsu begged him slowly, "Hyung, please call the trainee. I can't lift it anymore." Jun smiled and stood behind his head and grabbed the weights and then said, "now, leave your hands." Minsu shook his head, "no, it'll fall on my handsome face." Jun replied, "just trust me and release it, okay?"
After slowly releasing his hands, he immediately moved away quickly and rolled on the floor once before standing up. And then, saw Jun put down the barbell slowly without any strain.
Stupified Minsu stepped forward as Jun put down the weight, and he touched the upper arm, which he felt it is hard as a rock. As he grabbed the upper arm, Jun stepped back in a surprise, "what are you, doing, Minsu?"
Minsu was shocked looking at his hand that was only able to grab half part of upper arm, which explains his biceps. He asked in a surprise, "you weren't skinny?" Jun blinked at him in silence and then asked him, "didn't you ever check my height and weight during health checkups?"
