Chapter 6: C6: Live in It
"You better wake up or I'll tear you into pieces." Hyun Shik tried to awaken him. His nose were fumming with anger staring at Ace who is sleeping on the floor.
"Stop sleeping, I'll dig your eyes out." He once again exclaimed raising the knife in his hands aiming at Ace.
"I'm not joking! Wake up and fix the mess you made!"
"Sh*t!"
Soon after, Hyun Shik exploded while holding a duster. Ace came at their floor just an hour earlier than Hyun Shik but he messed with all the appliances so fast!
The refrigerator were left open, half of it's content were consumed! Ice cream wrappers and containers were around the house. Just with this, his head were about to explode from anger!
Seeing that his kitchen were in full mess, he couldn't help but fall to his knees. Some eggs were broken on the sink while the oven was still on! Flour on the floor, icing laying on the faucet and sprinkles scattered inside the cabinets.
"I'm gonna die, help me" Hyun Shik mumbled staring at the once clean white sofa but now, it was full of chocolate stains! There were even some un-melted ice cream drops on the floor.
His heart nearky turned to dust glancing at his wine collection. Nearly half were opened! It would be lighter if the bottle is empty, but it looks like it haven't been tasted yet!
"I'm gonna kill you!" Even if he can't really kill him, punishing him would he enough. He closed his eyes before breathing in and out. He started to clean the mess Ace made and transfered him inside his room.
"I might as well go and swim at the pool before buying him some clothes." He planned and took a towel in his room. Swimming sometimes relieves his anger, this was the best possible way for now.
"You f*cking d*mn bastard! I'll ...I'll...I'll tear you into pieces!" He managed to exclaim the words before falling unconscious. Before his body is his beatiful piano based pool. The tiles were designed to look like piano tiles.
The only thing that hit his heart hard is, the pool is now blue.
...
Early at the morning, Ace took a shower and changed into blue long sleeves and half pants. He saw a timberland boots in his closet and thought that Hyun Shik bought it for him. He didn't put any make up even if there is a new set infront of the mirror since it really annoys him.
"I slept tight, I wonder why Hyun Shik's house is better than the plane." He mumbled and prepared his back pack. The show will start at seven and the end isn't determined yet but it will last for a month. His luggage was packed by Hyun Shik beautifully since he will stay at the dormitories provided by the show.
"I recalled that my money is nearly depleted. I must earn money as soon as possible." Opening his phone, he confirmed that a big portion of his savings were consumed again just after a day. He ordered a computer set yesterday and placed it next to his bed.
"Good day Hyun Shik, what.."
"Shut your mouth and eat." He interupted his greeting glaring daggers at Ace. His heart raced seeing this because of this. Ace remembered that he didn't do anything yesterday and slept peacefully.
Bitting his lip at the sudden treatment, he slowly picked his chopsticks with trembling hands took a bite of the food. You could see that his eyes were filled with fear as he bit the food pitifully.
"This little demon..." Hyun Shik thought before standing up and cleaning his mess on the table. After he left, Ace sighed in relief totally clueless about his sin.
"Let's go" Hyun Shik told him while carrying his apparel. Ace smiled and took his backpack following behind him like a chick following his mother.
"You must remember that our company is the home of the best vocalists."
He nodded memorizing his manager's words. This time, they walked on the lobby early and the workers haven't started working. They were chatting when they saw the two walk together.
"That's the new trainee?"
"I knew him, the McDonald's cutie."
"Oh, I didn't know that he can sing."
"Even if he can't sing, his visuals do it all. I am afraid even Taeyong won't stand a chance."
Without minding them, Ace walked confidently taking in mind that must not anger Hyun Shik again. Inside the van, the two of them were in their own world before Hyun Shik asked him what song will he sing.
"I like IU senior and her songs are my favorite. I should sing 'Not Spring, Love nor Cherry Blossom."
He nodded and commented," Your voice is perfect for the song. Just be carefull not to mention the word dance there. We haven't trained you."
He was about to retaliate but he remembered Hyun Shik's dreadful aura when he is angered. Pouting again, he leaned on the chai and closed his eyes. It was at this moment that Hyun Shik decided to give him a briefing." We will accompany you enter. However, we will halt outside the room behind the stage and leave your things there. After you enter, you may choose whatever seat you want. Then, in the rank evaluation, perform nice. Wait, can you memorize the whole song?"
Upon hearing that Ace want's to sing that song, he prepared the instrumental version. Even if, his brain jolted and gave him this idea.
Ace's eyes which has long eye lashes opened abruptly. He slowly faced Hyun Shik. "Can you give me the lyrics?"
It didn't took them long to reach the venue. It was already past seven when they arrived. Hyun Shik was still in daze because of Ace's unbeatable memory. He successfully finished memorizing the song after only two rounds of reading. Ace was familiar with the pattern of the song and easily practiced it inside the van.
"I have your luggage now, take your bag and let's enter." He commanded him. Like an eagle in the sky, he quickly snatch his orey which is his bag and left the van. His phone was still in his hands and the blue tinted eye glasses was on his face perfectly. It was one of Hyun Shik's collection that he didn't saw when he rummaged through his room yesterday. He let him use this because he was irritated by the early rays of the sun earlier.
"Three big companies sent their companies this time. YG sent two while five came from JYP. As for the informations, they aren't necessary anymore since you're face is better than them."
"Really? Then it would be so good when I fail the evaluation later and get an E." After choosing their seats, they would perform and be judge by five mentors. Hyuna, Taemin, Dong Wook, Rain and Sunmi. The trainees can recieve five grades with A being the highest and E as the worst.
Hyun Shik's eyes glared daggers towards him." You better not. I'll turn your life hell since I once saw it. Een if you don't know how to dance, earning a C grade will not be hard."
Ace's lips turned thin. His manager really is underestimating him. Even if he looks tiny like he says, he is still full of surprises. His mouth opened and this words came out." You've only seen hell, while I live in it."
Hyun Shik's reaction weren't expected, he laughed. After a minute or so, they reached a room. " Can I get his identification sheet? The one with Ace" he told the lady behind the table.
The lady searched the names gave him the sheet. Hyun Shik saw that Ace was struggling to pin it on his shirt so he helped him to do it. Behind his name is a spade where his grade will be pasted.
"Only the trainee could go inside. Ten more remaining seats inside."
"I copied all things in your documents without altering anything. Just say that we hid some informations for your safety."
He nodded hearing his manager's words. He then glanced at the big screen where they will watch his performance. Before going inside, he watch Hyun Shik put his luggage and bag to the rest of the apparels. Whilst his phone was inside hi pockets.
"Fighting!" Despitr being a demon, Hyun Shik smiled earnestly boosting Ace's confidence. His heart fluttered at that moment, only his bestfriend had did him this but now also his manager. He coilled his fist and punched it on the air replying, "I'll return victorious "
Hyun Shik completely forgot Ace's wrong doings and patted his head sending him inside the room. However, at the last moments, he realized that Ace's attire is a bit revealing.
"Please give this coat to Ace." The lady looked at his coat before accepting it.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Ace is writing his dream on the wall where others wrote their dreams also. Placing the marker in his hands, he read the words before putting his own.
"I want to meet BTS"
"I'll be famous"
"I will improve."
He scribbled his dream which is, " I'll prove them, never judge what's inside an egg."
Back then, he was called ugly for no reason. A monster because of his quietness. However they didn't know that it was their own creation.
"Who's spying me?" He blurted out seeing the hidden camera behind the mirror. If Ace didn't have high skills, he could have missed the camera. He easily saw this because the mirror doesn't have all qualities a real one should have. He saw this while checking his face.
The man behind the mirror broke out laughing. All he could think now wasAce being a paranoid. Another set of laughter came out from his mouth when Ace said, " Try to harm me, you'll die."
Ace was being serious at the opposite side that much while behind the mirror is a man who nearly killed himself from laughing. Fortunately, the room is sound proof so Ace couldn't hear his laughter.
He decided to go and enter the hall now without minding the camera any longer. The path he is taking is directed to the wall of the stage i side the hall. Above the entrance at the end will be a big screen displaying the logo of his company.
Meanwhile, inside the enormous hall, everyone is anxious. Their faces were filled with nervousness as any minute someone will enter the stage that can out shadow them. A person with handsome face was sitting comfortable on the biggest chair with the digit '1' painted on it. This was the trainee from YG entertainment, Kim Min Kyu. He believed that no one can parry him except trainees from the other big companies.
"SM" two letters appeared on the big screen which made the crowd uneasy. SM is such a big company with high criteria when accepting trainees. The man sitting on the first chair jolted preparing his mind. At any moment, the trainee from SM could come and challenge him.
"Wah! SM trainees are also here?"
"JYP and YG trainees are pressuring us already, what's more when SM comes."
"Our lose is asured."
"Don't be like that we are from DSP."
"I'm nervous."
"Everyone, we aren't sure yet since last season, this also happened. But the logo changed to Esteem Entertainment. " Somone said. It boosted other participants spirit as they hope that the logo would chance. However, they saw a foot on the entrance stiking out.
"It's really from SM"
"They are practically messing with us."
It was at this moment that an angelic person came on the stage. His hair fluttering because of his walking speed. Dressed in blue while having the tinted glasses, he looks like a celebrity.
"Wah! He's my pick!"
"Trainees from big companies doesn't look like they come from earth, they look like handsome people from outside the earth."
"He's so tall!"
"Wait! The McDonald cutie! He slept inside the restaurant yesterday!"
"We look like pathetic guys when we stand beside him, he is so tall."
"As expected of SM, I haven't seen someone as handsome as him!"
"An angel, his skin is so pale!"
"He's cute while being handsome!"
"Look! he is searching for a seat."
The trainees no longer realized that they were standing wihout their mind's accord. They were bowing continously being respectful for Ace. Ace sighed before looking for a seat. "Wow they are all handsome! " he mumbled then scouted ten empty seats namely: 14,64,29,92,10,53,39,30,22,27.
He calculated the perks of being hit by the wind from the aircon since he feels hot. He took the shades off and decided to take a stroll on the stairs so that he could feel the strength of the aircon.
The design of the chairs were in ascending position like a triangle inside a big triangle. Just imagine that the corners of the smaller triangle are the stairs which diagonal and meets at the front of the chair with number '1'
"He's going up!"
"Look at that visuals."
Every person who he passed breath in sign of relief since their chair is safe. He stopped at the row where the seat number 92 is. The man sitting at the seat numbered 90 widened his eyes. However, he didn't knew that Ace was really looking at the seat nesr him.
"It's impossible for him to sit at the lower ranks he could be from ten and above."
"Look! he is going straight to challenge Min Kyu!"
Ace didn't find the strength of the aircon in the lower part high. However, as he goes higher, the air becomes cooler and cooler making him feel good. Kim Min Kyu saw him approaching and stood up ready to defend the chair.
"How will they settle it!?"
"Dance I think.?"
Ace extended his hands to have a handshake with Min Kyu. He immediately accepted and shook Ace's hands. His smile grew more bigger when he felt the air so refreshing.
"The air at the top is really good right?" Ace asked him.
"Yes." he replied back with nervousness in his voice. He really felt threatened when he sees ace walking casually like anything will happen according to his plan.
"I feel really hot right now. I wanted to sit in this part at the first place but it's a shame that you're already sitting comfortably here or else I'll definitely take the seat. Goodluck to you, I'll find to time to sit here."
