Secrets

The welcoming party is a must for good occasion. Lee Joowon really treats his staff nicely.

Everyone eats and drinks merrily till they are drunk and out, only some people who are responsible for driving and taking care of everyone that restrained themselves from getting drunk like Jiu, the managers, HR-PDnim, the Drivers and the Security staff.

Since it was Xion's first time getting drunk, he started to drink at his 20th birthday with Yuyeon, Shen Ruiqi,Hyesoo and Seonho but restrict himself in front of his mother, the system took control of the excessive input of alcohol and gives him a talent for it but the talent was merged into Natural Survivalist.

He then secretly checked his stats once more before falling drunk.

The next day, Xion wakes up with a heavy hangover and tried to recall how many times did he had to go to the bathroom when he got home.

Seonho took Hyesoo to her home last night before dropping both him and Xion to the Yiren's Apartments since Suzy and Yiren was abroad, they just avoided disturbance from Suzy and Yiren.

In the morning, before Xion was coming, Lee Joowon called Yuyeon and asked her about Xion and the situation that happened yesterday.

Yuyeon was caught off-guard too when she knew that Xion was proposing to Jiu, she then asked Lee Joowon about Jiu in a detailed manner which makes the latter suspect something about him.

Lee Joowon just answered truthfully and gave proper explanation to her and his standing on that matter, he didn't oppose the relationship as i can be a booster for Xion to reach some goals in his future, but giving some restrictions for him so he can be focused on his goals.

Yuyeon nodded in agreement and approved every decision that Lee Joowon made. feeling not satisfied with her answers, Lee Joowon then asked Yuyeon the truth, " Miss Yuyeon, although i did approve in certain degrees, i was wondering why you didn't put any restriction at all, isn't he your first artist?

Aren't you gonna do something about it? How about his future career? I am asking this as a friend, not as a CEO or any Job related stuff..

Yuyeon, understanding his intention, then slowly said to him. Joowon-sunbae, i do appreciate your concern about this matter, it's just that what Xion has done to Jiu is something i can't do anything about it.

His actions like that, just reminded me about how his late father did when he proposed to me way back..

Lee Joowon was surprised with the revelation that Xion is Yuyeon's son. "What, Xion is your son, Yuyeon- dongsaeng-nim?

He asked loudly. Luckily no one was present around his room and the room itself had some soundproof materials on the walls.

Yuyeon then tells Lee Joowon on how his father proposed to her and takes her to Hongkong. Lee Joowon stood silent and then took a deep breath and asked once more.

"Is there any secret that I need to know more? just for me to prepare myself so i don't get a heart attack easily, i'm getting old by the day"

Yuyeon then tells him about Xion's traveling around the world for one year and how he started his first dream to become a singer.

Lee Joowon then understood why Xion wanted to become a singer, since it was a common reason that people are influenced after looking at some performance and desired to become like their patron.

Yuyeon then added, Do you Know the group Aventurine? Lee Joowon then replied, "yes i know them, they have a great set of members with top notched visual, too bad their company made a rash decision to put them in global stage sooner that expected, besides that is not my real concern too as we have Dreamcatcher that will soon entered the global market too.

Yuyeon just smiled back on the video call and slowly spoke, " Do you know that the top notch visual of Aventurine is Xion's only sister?"

Lee Joowon was totally stunned. It tooks a while before he realized himself and looked back at Yuyeon.

"You mean that Wang Yiren is your daughter too… but the age, wait.. let me check..

After comparing the birth date of Xion and Yiren, Lee Joowon gasped. Understandingly, he then nodded back at Yuyeon, i understand I will keep this a secret, you can trust me, he said.

I trust you that's why I told you this and your response is not disappointing..

Lee Joowon then said, I will prepare everything from now on, rest assured. Some unspoken understanding can be read through eyes and there's such between Lee Joowon and Yuyeon.

Xion was called to the CEO's room and both of them had a small talk. Lee Joowon started " I called you today Xion, to analyze your overall performance, firstly i'll talk about your weak point, which is rap. you can rap, i admit that, but your rap is mediocre in comparison to full time rapper, look here.. when you rap, the delivery is uneven in certain parts, the pace, the energy, the use of words, Lee Joowon explained everything to Xion, and he acknowledge the analyze as it was really give him a new perspective, because all the stats that Xion get from Rap is basically his own method of learning by copy and paste on how to rap learning from the Internet and street busking performance that only achieve the lowest grade which is passable according to system that he used the automatic recording feature to record and for further learning materials in Mirage, that's why the most point he get is 5, and it's because he forcefully added some free points into rap too. Lee Joowon then continued, you can ask Dami for a better understanding of it.

Next, Lee Joowon pointed out Xion's singing. " You're singing is great! but it lacks essence and value, if i should give it a point, it will be 9 at best not a full 10. why? your singing has no purpose except to entertain the ears.. for people who hear your singing for the first time, it was captivating, but i've heard the recording of your singing like 100+ times since we got home yesterday, around 20 times while driving home, another 30 ish in the morning, another 20 times on the way here, and more that 40 times before i decided to called you here. In simple words, you have no purpose in singing, what i want to tell you is that you have great basics, but can you make me feel sad over and over again through your single performance? No. Can you make me hyped continuously every time I hear your song? No. you lack meaning and purpose in your singing. Yes, you can do covers and imitate other people's style of singing, but you can never get the weight that they presented to their audience, why? Singing is in the essence is open up your soul bare naked to the audience through your voice and choice of words and let them feel how you feel towards certain things that matters to you.

Xion was astounded during the CEO's explanation, he just sat, listened and absorbed everything inside. Lee Joowon then asked him, let's call Siyeon here so we can hear his opinion on your singing, Xion then nodded as the CEO talked to someone on the intercom. Two minutes passed and Siyeon came, the CEO asked her opinion then. "For me, Xion dongsaeng-nim singing is great, but has no weight, i can't feel the driving force or struggling in it at all, it's just pleasant to hear, as CEO also asked me to listen to it continuously, i can say that it is lacking on that aspect, let me gives you the example here i believe you can understand it, Siyeon then sing the same song that Xion used on the audition yesterday.. he get chills in his body and the system automatically recorded it. Xion then thanked Siyeon and She then excused herself.

CEO Lee then continued, i believe you used to avoid the camera, because even though you have a videographer, I was wondering why she didn't record your performance yesterday, and that is a fatal flaw you have with you currently. Xion was stunned by this revelation and agreed weakly, yes indeed that is the matter, i often avoid her because i didn't want to appear in a video before i joined a label, since she's already working with me for one year, i never expected that it came to be a problem for me, he answered.

I see, Lee Joowon replied, but from now on, I want you to master stage work and camera work. I'll ask the staff to teach you about it after this,... Lee Joowon pondered a bit then decided. "Xion, pick a song now and sing it while dancing, I want to analyze it further a bit, i'll give you 15 minutes for it". Xion was confused with the sudden request but nodded agreely.
