30 Lectured by YG

The next day, Genesis Training facility;

Jun reached the 14th floor as usual.

Earlier during the practice, he received an instruction from one of the staff to go and meet YG in the afternoon.

As he opened the door, Jun saw Yuju was standing before YG. She greeted with a slight bow and then, moved a bit aside, allowing him to step forward and stand beside her.

"Hello…" He greeted YG with a bow but the response was rather cold.

Jun wondered what's wrong.

"I heard that you summoned me."

"Yes." YG nodded and then asked, "Let me ask you the two of you a question. Are you dating each other?"

"Eh?" "Eh?" Jun and Yuju were taken aback by his question.

They immediately figured out that it might have something to do with their yesterday outing.

"No," Yuju spoke with a firm tone. As YG turned his head towards Jun, the latter just shook his head, implying that they weren't a couple.

"Yesterday, both of you have taken a break and coincidentally, I saw both of you walking together. Now, both of you will tell me the details."

YG's face was serious as he folds his hands to the chest.

"We met at the bus stop in the morning. I'm alone and Sungjun-ssi and Daniel-ssi are together. Both of us went to the Myeongdong Cathedral for the holy mass. This is only our third meeting. Please believe me…" Yuju explained to him while leaving out how they had lunch together.

"Do you want to add anything?" YG then asked Jun.

Since she hadn't mentioned the lunch, Jun didn't say anything about it. Nothing… It is just as she mentioned"

But then, he confessed about something else, "I also took the break, last Sunday to attend the holy mass. As a catholic, it is obligatory for me to attend church.

However, I would like to apologize for not taking permission back then. Since our practice hours and the performance were entirely up to us, I thought it wasn't necessary."

Jun bowed after a sincere confession. Yuju stared at him for a couple of seconds before turning away.

Meanwhile, YG shook his head with a smile, "SungJun-ssi, I already knew that. Did you forget that everything is recorded in cameras? Why do you think you got a score of 403 when almost every mentor gave you a full score? Your score was started with -10."

Jun and Yuju were stunned, although for different reasons.

"Anyway, that problem is over long ago. Let's talk about the current matter. Since it is a religious matter, I'll believe that you aren't pulling my leg, however, both of you will not leave just like that."

He pointed at Yuju, "If it wasn't because of the agency gone bankrupt, you would have debuted with your team." Then, he pointed at Jun, "If it wasn't because of your accident, you would have debuted with Resonance."

Retracting his finger, YG continued, "my point is both of you aren't rookies and have an idea how unforgiving the idol world is.

Even if you say you went to church together or something, once you were caught by a camera, your life will become incredibly difficult.

Honestly, it doesn't even matter whether you are dating or not, the problem here is that you got caught while walking together. It is enough to misunderstand."

As he continued to speak, his voice got louder and he appeared angrier.

Looking at Jun, he said, "Sungjun-ssi… If went together with Kang Daniel, why haven't you returned with him? Even if it somehow wasn't possible, why the both of you have to return together on the same bus?

Even if that was the case, you should have maintained a fair amount of distance between the two of you.

Don't think I'm overreacting over this little issue.

If it was anyone else, I wouldn't react like this.

Both of you are incredibly talented and I strongly believe that both of you have the potential to reach the top 21 in the program. When that happens, I have to offer you a contract from Genesis.

Now, think from my perspective, alright…

5 points are deducted from you two. So, your scoring will start from -5. Now, consider this a warning and be careful, next time. Go to your special training rooms to practice. Go…"

Jun doesn't know what to say.

The moment he started lecturing, Jun already understood the reason. After all, he used to a part of 'Once' fandom and he remembered how he and his fellow fandom members reacted when they found Mina's selfie with Got7's Bambam.

Jun cursed himself for being stupid enough to eat with her just because she wished for it. He thought he should have refused her offer and return or call Daniel.

What would have happened if he was an idol? Eating together alone at the restaurant is enough to cause a huge scandal. It terrified Jun for a second. His dream of becoming a global idol would have shattered quickly.

Thinking that he learned a lesson, Jun swore in his heart that he will never do such a stupid thing again.

"Yuna-ssi, you can go. Sungjun-ssi, you stay…" YG's words disrupted his thoughts.

She bowed him and quickly left while hanging her head down without sparing him a glance.

After she left, YG then said, "Sungjun-ssi, sit down."

As Jun took the seat, he suddenly changed the topic, "How the counseling is going on? I know it's only been a few days but did you feel any changes in yourself…"

Sighing in relief, Jun nodded, "the counseling session was actually started on Saturday. Even though it isn't that much but after confessing a bad memory of my childhood, I feel light."

"Good," A smile appeared on YG as he explained, "You already read and signed the confidentiality agreement with her. So, there's no need to worry. Your secrets will be safe with her even from the management."

Jun nodded. Even if YG said that Jun wouldn't trust him completely but he wouldn't care either way as the ones he said to his counselor aren't considered secrets either way. They are just his childhood memories.

As for the deep ones like his relationships, even he doesn't know about it. What could he explain to her?

Even if he remembers it, he would rather go to the church and confess it to god and make his heart light and confess to the priest if he had done any mortal sins.

After asking about his counseling, YG came to another main topic, "How the arrangement of the musical is going on?"

Upon hearing his inquiry, Jun's face darkened and stayed silent.

"What?" YG asked him with a slight smirk, "You didn't practice or wasn't able to?"

Jun replied, "It is harder than writing or composing my own song. When I try to compose it, its original composition was just flowing in my head. Can't think of a new tune for the song..."

"Hmm…" YG thought for a while. He was indeed surprised that Jun wasn't able to arrange a simple song.

In his opinion, creating an original song that good is a lot harder than arranging for other lyrics.

Usually, a song will never be written, composed, and produced by the same person. It's a team effort and yet, this kid claimed that those two songs were entirely his work.

Combining with Jun's amazing vocal prowess, YG really believed it too.

But now, he wondered whether the songs were from someone else or is the reality just as Jun had mentioned.

After thinking for a while, YG decided to take a leap of faith one more time, "Okay then. After your daily counseling is over, I will mentor you."
