19 In Progress
Jaemin was living a busy life.
He had just turned sixteen, and it was also the start of the year 2010.
He had begun his entertainment career as a fashion model in 2009, appearing in runway shows, magazine editorials and commercials. He even had signed a few endorsement deals, making that his first earnings as a model.
He had also modeled for other cosmetica brands and the like. The more he modelled, the more requests came in. The System also didn't stay idle in these past months, it kept creating quests for him to complete. If one combined this fact with the fact that he was training like hell as a trainee, then it would only be logical that his growth in stats was so quick.
His overall growth in physical aspects showed as well. He was currently standing at 176 centimeters tall.
If he kept up like this, then he would eventually become about 184 centimeters before his growth stopped.
He trusted his genes though, the system could also help if he got too tall.
There was also one more thing he was super excited about, when one would type in Google Search: Kim Jae-min, he would come up. His occupation would show, that he was a model. Even a fairly detailed Wikipedia article had showed up about him.
And all of these things, had happened in the last two months, which made it the time that he truly gained recognition from the masses.
More and more people recognized him when he was in public. There weren't a shitload of people everytime he went out, but still a relatively big amount. And that amount, would only grow bigger overtime.
It would have it's disadvantages in the future, but he liked the attention for now.
His trainee days were pretty bland though.
Being a trainee was all about training, training and more training. Learning, learning and more learning.....
His improved stats made both easier, but it was still mentally taxing, not to mention boring. But his modelling activities and his friendships had made it more fun.
His stats had already reached this state:

========================
His growth was simply unreal, but he knew what he had gone through to achieve this, so he wasn't suprised. '
His growth was all due to the fact that he had decided to sleep less and less. The most sleep he had gotten in these past weeks were no more than five hours.
His health made this possible, since it encompassed vitality and stamina as well.
He also barely notices his improvement in some of the attributes and skills as well, since they had been upgraded so much.
The higher a stat/skill was upgraded, the less the effects would be.
There was also something, which suprised him.
He had planned to make his acting debut in Dream High, how he would accomplish that though, was the real question.
Originally, it was Kim Soo-hyun and 2PM's Taecyeon who had the main roles, and they had both made their acting debut already. That meant that it should have been incredibly hard to succeed to get one of those roles, since they had a better portfolio.
But...
He had forgotten something important.
He was a bit stupid not for noticing this in the first place, but when one looks at it, didn't it seem that the drama Dream High was filled with people from JYP Entertainment?
Miss A's Bae Suzy and 2PM's Taecyeon and Wooyoung. Even JYP himself was in it.
He had to rack his brain for an hour straight, to finally remember that JYP was a creative director of the drama. If not for his better intelligence and memory, he would have had to ask him himself.
It meant that JYP had some intake to decide who should act in the drama.
He really questioned if this system had given him some insane luck enhancement, since JYP had asked him, about an hour ago, if he liked acting.
He had tried to create the "Luck" attribute before, but it ended up not working, sadly. He suspected that if the Luck attribute actually existed, it should be over 9000.....
He said that he thought he was pretty good at it, and that he enjoyed it a lot.
And about a minute later, a text message from JYP was sent to him. It showed an example of an acting script.
And he recognized some of those lines, they were from Dream High, no doubt about it.
Dream High aired in 2011 and was filmed in 2010-2011, and probably written in the year 2009. Which is probably the reason why the script already existed.
JYP texted him then and there, that he should practice those lines for tomorrow, since he wanted to check if his acting was any good. He also told him that he must not send this script to anyone else, since he had "plans" for it.
He naturally agreed, he would be foolish if he didn't
He then studied the script once more, and deduced that he would be renacting the scene where Kim Soo-hyun........ confessed his feelings for Suzy.
The first thing he thought about is if he would act this scene with Suzy herself, or with someone else.
If it was Suzy.....
He couldn't help but anticipate while still being nervous.
He had met her once, but the only thing they did was a simple greeting. Words weren't even exchanged between the two of them.
Wouldn't it be super akward for both him and her to do such a thing? Moreover, she was his sunbea(~), and he was her hubea (~). She was his noona(~), and he was her dongsaeng, if they would even get close enough to let her call him that.(~).
He was younger than her, which would make it pretty akward and hard for him.
He was mentally more mature though, so he automatically behaved more like an oppa(~), even in front of older women. It kind off made a weird contrast, but his manly appearance and stature made up for that.
Women also tended to like such things.
But he should just let fate decide if he would act the scene with her or a random stranger, worrying about it is pointless.
And here he was, laying peacefully on his bed, practicing the script.
He would do well tomorrow.
