Broken steps.

Noah noticed the tense atmosphere, so he calmed down a bit. "As for the song, let's see how my song with Nico-nuna will do. After that, we can talk about something else."

"Thank you, we appreciate it." Na yeon replied.

"It fine, let's hope my song is successful. At least we can know if I have talent in writing as everyone thinks."

They kept talking while eating, and Noah liked the group. They were just innocent girl looking for opportunities as everyone else.

After everyone was done eating, Noah left alone, and the girls kept on talking. Nico walked him out.

"I'm sorry, i didn't mean to do that." She apologized.

Noah smiled, "it fine, I already forgot about it."

The taxi he called came and her left home.

Nico returned to the group.

"So how is he?" She aked.

"Manly and so handsome." Na yeon put her hands on her face to hide her blushing.

"He does have a special aura, right?"soo jin added.

They all nodded, "It the confidence in his eyes, it like he is in control of everything." Nico commented.

"Is his skills match his confidence?" Ji won, asked.

"Oh, just wait till you hear the song he made. It was supposed to be my single, but he just stools it, hahaha." Nico replied.

"H-he doesn't look down on us, most artists do." Hyun gang shyly commented.

"Yeah, I saw it too, he talk casually. That's why I liked him." Na yeon agreed.

"When will your song be out, eonni?" Ji won, asked.

"They started the promotion earlier. It will be out on the 20th."

Next morning. 17th. October.

Noah rented the studio for the morning. He needs to work on a single to release it after his song with Nico.

But he isn't sure what to choose, a pop song or a rap song. Or even R&B.

He eventually decided to go with rap but still add a killing hook.

Noah choses 'Stan' enemies's song, kept the beat and the hook but changed the verses, he starts writing it as a message from his boss kicking him out from his job and ending his dream as an idol.

Noah immediately made the beat. He started working all morning on it, and after he was done, he saved it and gave it to the apartment required to make a copyright.

He left the studio for his home so he could make the lyrics. He wished to keep working, but the studio wasn't his.

"They will make me my own once the song succeed." He comforts himself while eating lunch.

Late that same day, Noah was done with lyrics.

Broken steps lyrics: 34.

Noah smiled. He worked hard on writing those verses. He made what happened to his first verse just like what happens in the hospital, the nurse giving him the document and his feelings then.

He made it full of sorrow and hate. Then, the next verse is a dream he had where he became a super star, without the help of that agency. This part almost all Korean, the language worked nice with the theme.

In the third verse, he talked about his new career and made a promise to make his history.

This part was playful and full of jabs towards the agency that fired him.

The song was sad in the beginning but gets positive by the time it ends. The flow was similar to Stan and so the beat.

He sleeps comfortably after finishing his work.

19th October.

In the studio Noah was making sure everything was working well, he spent the last day learning everything an engineer do, he has a system, he can learn anything about music from the library in seconds, but he needs to understand what he learned and make himself familiar with the knowledge. That why it took a day.

When everything was done, he pressed on the recording boton and entered the booth.

"My tea's gone cold. I'm wondering why I..."

He sang the hook in ome go. Then he walked out, he re listend again.

He wasn't satisfied, so he went back and reated the hook again.

"Got out of bed at all..."

This time, he gave it more emotion. After he was done, he walked out. He checked the hook, and he smiled, satisfied with his work.

"This is better, now the first verse."

Noah woke back to his booth and started rapping.

"Doc in the room, askin'bout the year.

2015.

Remember what went down he said with a glare.

Bike, car, woke up, nightmare..."

Noah gave his all in the first verse. After it was done, he went to check and was satisfied. Noah then proceeded to ho for the next verse, and this time, it was even easier.

Then he kept the good work and recovered the last one. After he was sure everything was on par with what he imagined, he smiled.

He them starts to master he song, adding the song of a car crach for the accident part. And some cheering in the part where his career peaked. Making the beat low when he was taking jabs at the agency so his words could be heard. He made sure not to name drop or even mantion anything big so to avoid a lawsuit.

The song was done in 3 days, Noah listened to it again.

Broken steps: 35. Rare.

Noah smiled. And immediately call for the person responsible for rejecting his song for copyright.

It was done in minutes. He took his song and walked out from the studio with a smile on his face but a tired body.

He didn't hear from Nico or Ceo kim these days because he was busy and They probably even more busy than him. But he still sent a message to CEO kim.

"I think I finished a song, and I want it to be my first single. Normally, I shouldn't trouble you with this matter, but you didn't give me a manager."

In big companies like VGA, every artist has his team of people, manager, assistant and makeup artist, and more. But since Noah is small and doesn't need anything, they didn't give him anything.

And he also doesn't need to tell the CEO about his song since there is a team responsible for this matter, but again he doesn't know anyone, they kept him working since the time he joined. He didn't tour the company completely.

Ceo kim replied within minutes. "Come to my office 2 days later, I would prepare everything for you."

Noah sent her an okay emoji and went for dinner.
