Chapter 14: Chapter 12: I Know Your Secret
The more Geon thought about it, the more confused he became.
The trainees currently present at the campsite shares the same goal: to debut.
However, it seemed that Gunnar Sigríðursson and Kudō Aoi had a different reason for joining [Cap-Teen-Vating].
'What's their goal?' Geon stared at the smirk hidden beneath Gunnar's cheerful smile.
A moment later, a black-haired boy emerged from the crowd of trainees.
Unlike Song Jeongin's emotionless face that pictures the image of innocence, this boy's emotionless face screames 'mess with me and you'll lose your ass'.
Kudō Aoi.
He's turning 20 this year.
"Good luck, bro! You should show everyone how awesome you are!" Gunnar beamed.
The trainees who shares the same tent with Geon...
One is a sunshine.
The other is an ice.
Geon is playful and charming.
Gunnar is cheerful and cute.
Kudō Aoi is both hot and cold.
'These two idiots...' Geon continued to caress his nonexistent mustache.
All of the evidences Geon found screamed that these two are lovers.
Meanwhile, his instinct is told him that the mystery was only solved half-way.
'Are they lovers or rivals?'
•••
Time passed by rather quickly today.
The evening came faster than Geon imagined.
Was it because he got lost in his thoughts?
The trainees were exhausted from earlier's activity.
What was the point of dancing in the mud?
What was those points Kang Sejin told them earlier?
And what will happen to the trainees who failed the challange of dancing in the mud?
Just how much would this points deduction affect them?
Whoever came up with the idea of [Cap-Teen-Vating] must be a very capable person.
"Stop moving!"
"You stop moving."
"I wonder how I ended up in the same tent with a moron like you!"
"If I'm a a moron, you're an idiot."
Geon sighed internally as he felt the two trainees beside him toss and turn inside the tent.
''You two are both stupid." Geon murmured.
"Wait. Are you awake, Geon?" Gunnar tapped the older boy's shoulder.
Geon didn't move.
"He must be talking in his sleep." Kudō Aoi stated.
"What do you know?" Gunnar grumbled.
"Things you don't." Kudō Aoi said smugly.
"Be thankful that Geon's in between us right now. If not, I would've stranggled you to your death already." Gunnar stated, his voice full of irritation.
"A man should not be all talk. Let's go outside." Kudō Aoi's cold voice echoed inside the tent.
"You think I'm scared? I'm the real man between us! Sigríður Stefánsson's only son is fearless, understand that?" Gunnar left the tent first, Kudō Aoi followed after him.
After confirming that the two have gone far away, Geon changed his sleeping position.
He could finally spread his arms and legs.
He now looked like a starfish.
'Should I follow after them or use this oppurtunity to sleep?' Geon thought.
A while later, he left the [Tents' Area] without the staffs' and guards' knowledge.
If Gunnar and Kudō Aoi could meet up secretly without getting caught and he couldn't, wouldn't he become the greatest shame of the gangsters?
Geon smiled a little bit as he approached the area where he saw two figures being lovey-dovey earlier.
'Gotcha!'
•••
"For today's activity, we will be having a singing competition!" Kang Sejin announced excitedly.
He expected the trainees to become excited too but their reaction were far from being one.
The trainees looked very nervous.
Who wouldn't?
They had to dance while their foot was stucked in the mud yesterday.
Heck!
Their breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all composed of leaves!
Some trainees were foreigners, so it was hard for them to suddenly change the types of food they take in.
They didn't dare to think that the activity they will doing today is going to be easy.
And they were right.

[~The beautiful porcelain stared at me
My heart fluttered in millions of glee~]
Song Jeongin's eyes teared up as his face puckered at the sour taste of the lemon inside his mouth.
[~I froze as she walk towards me
My mind got conquered by dozen of bees~]
Today's activity was a singing competition.
Kang Sejin would randomly call out a trainee.
That trainee would then say the name of the person he chose to compete with.
The competition's dynamics were simple:
The two trainees would sing the chorus of whatever song they had in mind.
Whoever sounds better win.
The winner will get additional points.
The loser will get his points deducted.
Until now, the trainees were still wondering what was the connections of these points' to their survival in [Cap-Teen-Vating].
But here's the twist: the trainees need to sing while having a sour lemon inside their mouth.
Here's the real twist: the sour lemon was accompanied by a chili peper!
[~I found a love
I found a home
My beautiful porcelain~]
Everyone clapped after Song Jeongin finished singing.
"That was fantastic!" Kang Sejin exclaimed.
The trainees could see how much he favored Song Jeongin.
A talented trainee with outstanding visuals.
His personality was unique too!
Who wouldn't like this trainee?
Envious and dumb people, of course.
"Now, let's see what kind of performance trainee Geon would show us today!" Kang Sejin said excitedly.
The trainees stared at the boy sitting next to Song Jeongin.
Yes, that's right.
He chose to compete with Geon.
The director licked his lips in delight at the thought of these two trainees' theme: rivals.
"I'll do my best." Geon said with a cheerful smile before shoving the sour lemon and chili pepper inside his mouth.
[~Through the mist
There you stand~]
Geon started singing the chorus of [Lend me Your Hand], a popular R&B song.
He always chose these types of songs.
Why?
Our little tuna wanted to look sexy!
[~The things I missed
Lend me your hand~]
The trainees stared at Geon in shock.
Kang Sejin's jaw dropped on the ground (not literally).
[~Through the fog
There you are~]
There was not a single hint of suffering displayed on Geon's face.
[~The curse I got
Lend me your hand~]
Not only was Geon thick-skinned.
This former gangster has a thick tounge too!
Just when everyone thought he was finished, he add-libed a few words.
[~'Cause I know your secret~]
He smiled, his gaze directed at Gunnar and Kudō Aoi's way.
