Chapter 6

At capital city of Country S, Noah, new rising idol, was still busy practising a new choreography routine in one of the dance studio all alone. He was surrounded with mirror and music for his group new comeback song blast loudly. He put all effort and focus into the routine to match his moves with the right beats.

His mouth muttering the lyrics of the new song he recoded just a week ago. He remember all lyrics including his other members' parts in the song as if he had them imprinted in his mind like a tattoo.

It was as if he chanting some magic quietly to himself like a homeless man around the subway station reminiscing their unfortunate fate befall on themselves that make them all end up where they are, Noah pronounce each and every words according to the note of the lyrics with its beats.

Although he already remember everything when the teacher showed it for the first time, he need to make sure that it is his body that remember and not his mind only. That way there will be no way he would allow himself make any mistake during performance. It will be cause uproar and effect his group reputation.

While training diligently, Noah still remember the deal he make with his father a few years back, before his debut. He will have to work harder to the point that his dad will tell him that he failed to reach his expectation.

He knew since he was young, he can't act recklessly and need to abide every decision and rule his father make. Thanks to his quick thinking, he strike a deal that give him sometime to enjoy his life.

So, even though he need to work twice harder than everyone and practice alone, he will do it with open hands. Unfortunately for him, he forget another deal he make in which will affect all him and make his dad interfere with his life before the time of the deal come to an end.

Thanks to his focus and good memory, Noah successfully master all the moves in five hours. With sweat covering all over his body, if one encounter him in his current condition, especially his fans, they will shout with all their might out.

Who would not do that? He is one of most charming male idol, who have a face like a prince coming out of a comic, Greek-god like features that make him looked cold.

With the sharp jaws, straight nose, round doe eyes and perfect curve of eyebrows, it really shows that he is a mixed.

Even the make-up artist complaint that they did not have much work to put make up on his face. They said that if such traits keep coming around, they will be jobless soon.

As for Noah personality, instead of having a look of arrogant and acting like a pretentious, Noah is actually a warm and kind person. He respect everyone around him be it they are older than him or younger. He respect them all the same and did not judge them for whatever they did.

If there is ever anyone who provoke him by saying behind his back and spread slander on him, he will just ignore them most of the time. Everything will be ignore by him up until his manager and company decided to interfere for causing too much trouble for them, he will cooperate accordingly.

He will always think wisely and do his things silently. For him good deeds does not need one to think for a long. If you decide to help then help, if not leave.

Because of that, he gain a lot of supporter even during his trainee days. His comment during his live makes every girls heart on fire. They never stop talking about him for days after every live even though he only did it once every two weeks. Not only teenage girls, his fans consist from the kindergarten up to middle age people in the country.

That show that how much influence and love he received in the country. At least for now. His main aim is internationally of course.

Just like his father always says, to be successful in life one need to aim higher so that they will work even harder and smarter to achieve it.

Taking a rest in silence but with a heavy breath cause by the short of breath, Noah's phone ringing broke his train of thought. He resultantly answer the call before standing from the floor to leave the studio.

"Hi, mom. Miss me? I bet you are." Noah answer the call cheekily. "So... How are you doing lately? Is there something happen at home?"

"Then, be honest with me if there really is nothing. You make me suspicious. Suddenly asking me to go back in the middle of the week and even during working hours at that. Does it make sense?"

"Mooom, it's not that I don't want to go back home. It just that my group comeback is just around the corner and I need to practice."

"Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. I will make time with you."

"Umm. I will. Bye, mom. Love you."

Wiping the sweat on his face, Noah walk out of the building into a car that is waiting for him. His manager always sent a car to fetch him or any other members that being left behind if they want to practice. Thanks to that none of them need to call for taxi or any other e-hailing vehicle unless it is urgent.

Watching all the evening scenery outside the window, it make his heart warm and his mind a little relax. He know that his schedule just about to be struck by storm and a lot more hectic soon.

Humming the now song, Noah walk to his dorm that he had been staying since the last year. Who would have known that he get to be in the final line up for the new group with only one year of training.

The next day, Noah decide to go back to his parents' house. He wake up early in the morning just to avoid too much questioning from his members.

Ever since young, Noah prefer to hide his identity and not bragged about his family. He would pretend that he come from a normal family with not much wealth. His background make people around him want to suck up to him most of all the time once they know.

However, he prefer to have sincere friends and live a normal life than being surrounded by pretentious people that would wolf one down at any moment. So, Noah decide to live away from his parents and make money on his own.

That is how he make the deal with his father before he left the house with his parents' permission.

Being one and only heirs of top tier conglomerate, Noah always be careful with his identity. He want to keep that identity under wrap as long as possible.

Every time he want to go back to his parents' house, Noah will be in dilemma to find a ride that would not attract too much attention and it goes the same for today.

He would take a few different taxis and hail car to drop him just around the corner of the neighbourhood. Then, he would walk more than five hundred meters just to make it less suspicious. It all thanks to the café that start their business at the neighbourhood, he can pretend that he come by to have a cup of drink there.

That way, nobody would know him and asking for his actual reason for being around at the wealthy residence.

With an ice lemon tea in hand, Noah walk leisurely and take a sip once in a while, in a dark outfits fit him perfectly with a cap and black mask rest just right on his chin.

From other people perspective, he look like a man who patiently waiting for his girlfriend under the tree that revives after dormant in winter seasons and flowers bloom merrily during its season.

The only thing lacking in the picture is a girl. A beautiful and delicate girl who stand just next to him to complete a picture of perfect couple. If only an enthusiast of photography walks by, they will surely make a move and snap such scenery that can be put in their gallery and being bought in a high price.

Reaching his family mansion, Noah did not have to bother himself with doorbell or anything. He just push open the front door and the head maid in the house turn around and watch him with a shock face.

When she recover from the shock, she quickly put on a bright smile and welcome the young man with his sudden appearance. She did not know that her young master would be back that day.

Usually if the young master want to comeback, he would notify the madam and then she would make a big fuss. The madam would make everyone to clean the house and make her son favourite food in a big amount although he would never finish them due to a strict diet being involve in entertainment industry.
