Chapter 12: Chapter 10: Song Murderer (Fixed)
The sun was especially bright today.
'Am I hallucinating?' Geon rubbed his eyes.
"I love...
"I love... more..."
Geon was stunned.
There were two figures standing behind the large tree.
The 17-year-old boy was originally on his way back to the [Tents' Area].
Geon used a special method to check the time since his phone was confiscated the moment he entered the camping sight.
This method had saved him plenty of times when he was still in [Family].
He stared at the position of the sun.
30 minutes before the assembly time.
He was the last trainee to rise from the lake.
One had to pass by a thick forest before they could reach the [Tents' Area].
Thankfully, whoever arranged the campsite was kind enough to put signs on the trunks of the trees and sides of the road.
Geon had enough time to spy on these very familiar figured being lovey-dovey behind a large tree.
It was a good thing that he was the only person in the road-- if it was somebody else, they would have already spread the knowledge to everyone.
'Yes, let's just confirm if these two are really the trainees I have in mind.' An evil smile crept on Geon's lips as he stealthily went closer to the large tree.
However...
[~I swear, you were still mine until yesterday
I swear, I was still the one until yesterday
I swear, I was your only gem until yesterday
I swear, you were still by my side until yesterday~]
Geon stoppes on his tracks as he cringed at the unstable vocals of the singer.
The smirk on his lips turned into a frown.
He looked around, his eyes were like an eagles'!
[~I broke your heart just how I'd break my promise
I cursed the time just how I'd curse my nemesis
I swear, love was still there until yesterday
I swear, you were still here until yesterday~]
The smirk on Geon's lips returned as be spotted a small sillhouette behind a tree near the lake.
Could this singer be a staff dreaing to become an idol?
Or is he a trainee practicing his vocals?
Geon approached the tree the sillhoutte was leaning on.
[~What a fool I am
It's been years and years
Yesterday swammed
It's been tears and tears~]
The voice of the singer was raw.
It was a soft and gentle kind of a voice that could definitely reach high notes even some female singer have a difficulty reaching!
However, the current singer was lacking experience and sense of rhythm.
A song murderer!
That's right!
Whoever gets to hear this right will surely get anciety!
[~I can only blame myself
For all the times I had wasted
"Yesterday" was 2012
The misserable you I created~]
Not only was the song delivery not right-- the singer changed the song into a completely different one!
[Until Yesterday] was a classic ballad composed by a fallen soloist named Kang Soojin.
Despite her being retired for almost 25 years now, the song [Until Yesterday] she composed and sang was still deepky engraved in everyone's mind!
Young or adults, everyone respected the name Kang Soojin.
After all, she was once a legendary figure in the entertainment industry who shook the whole world-- not only once, but thrice!
But now, this little singer with a small sillhoute was murdering her most iconic song.
"What are you doing?"
A cute face with a charming aura.
That was the definition of the boy's appearance.
"I-uh- I was just practicing! I'm not doing something illegal! I definitely did not tresspassed a private property!" The boy exclaimed.
He was so flustered that his face became tomato red.
Geon stared at him before laughing loudly.
"You're very interesting." He sat down beside the boy.
"My name is Choi Geon, how 'bout you?"
"Zhang Chen." The boy replied.
And so, Geon met the [Song Murderer].
The end.
(Joke!)
•••
"How was the lake, everyone?" Kang Sejin smiled at the excited expressions of the trainees.
"It was warm!"
"Yeah, I actually have not taken a bath since last week..."
"Are you serious?!"
"Now, now, everyone! Since you've been refreshed, it's time to build some experience." A glint flashed in Kang Sejin's eyes.
The trainees shuddered.
This 'camping' trip will definitely be not as easy as they had thought it would be.
•••
A hole.
(Clears throat.)
There was a middle-sized whole on the ground.
It contained...
"Mud." Kang Sejin excitedly pointed at the mud filling the hole.
'Fuck.' The traines thought in unison.
Except for one person.
If you thought it was Geon, you guessed correctly!
Our little tuna was spacing out again.
"Look, everyone! Did this special kind of atom piqued your interest?" Kang Sejin stared at the trainees.
His eyes were shining and full of expectations.
'Fuck.' the trainees cursed in their mind again.
"I knew it! They are going to make us crawl in the mud!"
"I became a trainee in hopes of debuting as an idol to postpone my trip to the military and then-- this!"
Some of the most dramatic trainees almost fainted in shock.
"Um, bro..." Zang Chen, the [Song Murderer] Geon had just met a while ago, held onto the hem of the younger boy's shirt.
"Yes?" Geon's conciousnes was quickly pulled back into the reality.
"I forgot to remind you... Don't tell anyone what you saw and heard earlier." He said as he stared at the ground, too ashamed to stare Geon in the eye.
"Okay." The younger boy shrugged.
"Okay, everyone!" Kang Sejin clapped his hands.
"Our first game's mechanics is actually pretty simple. I will randomly call out a trainee's name. Whoever gets called out shall go stand in that hole. The speakers will play a random song and the trainse inside the hole should dance. If they fall, one point will be deducted from them." Kang Sejin explained with a smile.
Dance?
Inside thay hole?
'But there's mud!'
A thicky one at that!
How could they move around freely?
A challenge, that's right.
But, what are these points?
And deduction?
Upon falling?!
"Oh, and after dancing, the trainee in the hole will select another trainee as his successor!" Kang Sejin added.
