The Rise Of Park Yejoon

With a smile, both Yejoon and the principal shook each other's hands professionally and waved each other goodbye.

Yejoon was done with his successful meeting with the principal. He left the office and went back to the A-Class to continue his lessons.

--------------------

The classes were over quickly and he, with Mingyu went to Sanghoon's rapping A class.

They saw him and the three hung out for a while before they saw their mothers in Kim Sanghoon's mom's car waiting for them. The car was quite big and had enough space for all of them.

The day quickly ended with them going out for dinner like a family except without blood relations. All six treated each other like family members and did not feel awkward at all. Yejoon even dropped subtle hints about his parent's youthfulness occasionally as a joke. Of course, this earned him a slap in the head from his red mother and her saying things about him that embarrassed him.

The next day XXX announced Park Yejoon would be making his first song at 13 years old!

They attached a small 10-second audio that showcased his beautiful voice and the smooth guitar strokes.

This, of course, earned him an immense amount of hype. People were already talking regarding him and the new song.

People absolutely loved the 10 seconds and craved for more.

The only two people he had in his contacts apart from his parents texted him regarding the song. Kim Sanghoon and Mingyu directly crashed to his house and they talked about it for a great while.

"Dongsaeng, why didn't you tell us you were making a song?" Sanghoon exclaimed clearly surprised by the fact his little brother made a song.

"That's right Joon-hyung, I feel betrayed," Mingyu was already crying crocodile tears (fake tears) and exclaiming how much agony he apparently went through when he received the news his hyung made a song without consulting him. Mingyu made sure to shamelessly ask him to invite him when he made his concert.

The boys joked around for a while until Yejoon was suggested to start a stream by XXX. The company wanted to strike the iron while it was hot once again.

Yejoon thought it would be a good idea to include all three of them in a stream.

He told his friends of his plans and what he was asked to do.

Mingyu poked Sanghoon and said,

"Sanghoon-hyung, watch the viewers count. You won't believe what's about to happen."

Yejoon set up his phone and clicked the stream button.

3!

2!

1!

Say Hello!

Literally, instantly, people started joining his stream. There was not even an interval between the "Say Hello!" and the viewer count exploding.

Instantly, the site alerted everyone of the stream and it was highlighted on the main page. XXX truly was powerful.

"Hello, handsome!"

"Omg omg omg he finally started streaming again"

"Been waiting for days"

"Mingyu is also here!!!"

"Who's that other guy?"

"All three are so handsome so IDC."

"Yejoon is better."

"Sorry but I think Mingyu is cuter"

"Yejoon is hotter"

"The other dude is actually really really hot"

Kim Sanghoon's eyes widened. He stared at Yejoon and mouthed the words 'what the heck' explaining his shock at the mass of viewers.

"Hi everyone!" Mingyu and Yejoon cheerfully said together.

"Nvm, Mingyu and Yejoon are so cute together."

"I ship them"

Both boys had shivers on their spines at the thought. They looked at each other and their exchange of eye movements was an entire conversation.

"How are you all doing today?"

Yejoon made sure to ask his fans how they were doing to be as interactive as he could be.

Yejoon reached for the Strawberry flavored Pocky in his table and nibbled on the snacks.

"omg yejoon x pocky"

"its confirmed everyone!!!"

Clicks went off. His audience was taking pictures of him nibbling on his snack and it was sent everywhere on the internet.

"pockyjoon."

"Person above deserves a million dollars."

Yejoon smiled at the camera with his pearly white teeth.

Click!

"Ah hyung I want some too."

"Dongsaeng give me some too please."

Yejoon protectively hid the Pocky bag in his embrace.

"Nwo! Ish mwine" His mouth was biting a Pocky which made his voice muffled and it came out as a childish baby-like voice. The blending of spirits was taking effect once again.

The moment was clipped, tweeted, and shared around the internet.

Mingyu pouted,

"Joon-Hyung pleeeaaaase,"

Click, click, click!

He gave Sanghoon and Mingyu one pocky each and looked proud at his godly act of charity on the pitiful humans while a Pocky was in his mouth.

Click, click click!

The three interacted with the audience a lot and the fans soon learned of and loved Kim Sanghoon. They learned how he used to live in a rural area with his parents and of his dancing and rapping skills.

Soon, Yejoon started getting questions about his new song from the viewers and his two best friends.

He had earned many star balls in this one stream. The viewers reached an insane amount and his followers rose by a significant amount.

Stars Lives was reaping benefits from Yejoon as so many people watching a stream allowed for many companies and people to want to advertise. They were also getting a good amount of cash from people buying Star balls to donate them to Yejoon. The streaming service earned quite a notable number of money from all of these things.

While Yejoon answered questions about the song, some viewers pointed out Sanghoon dabbing one-handed heavily at the side.

--------------------

A week passed by and after a lot of hype building up over the song, XXX released the song on many platforms.

His deep voice instantly made those who listened to the song fall in love with it.

In My Blood - Shawn Mendes had turned into,

In My Blood - Park Yejoon. The person in respect was silently thanking the real writer of this masterpiece that earned him so much publicity and respect among the public for his 'talent.'

The song was a top hit and entered the Global's Top 50s. People around the world no matter race, age, gender, ethnicity, sang this song. Of course, he still received hate and troll comments but those could be overlooked.

His two friends congratulated him and his parents were, of course, the proudest.

Their son at 13 was already doing such a good job.

They shamelessly but jokingly claimed his talent was originating from them.

In many places around the world, the song was played. In malls, in stores, in cars, in the streets, events, and even more.

==================

Yejoon's skills were slightly improved but his Charm has changed. He had a burning feeling getting 20 in a certain attribute would be very rewarding and he was correct. His features changed considerably.

[*DING*]

[Secret Quest:

4/??

Rewards: 1 SP]

He now had 10 SP.

People that saw him every day like his parents would just attribute it as them noticing their child's features even more but he would be more handsome to people that saw him today than to people that saw him yesterday. His 20 charm made his mom and dad somehow love him and appreciate him to the extreme. People he met would be more protective of him and his bonds with his friends were tighter. Charm was a powerful thing that not only affected your appearance but how you seemed to other people. It affected the chances of people listening to you and the appeal you would have.

--------------------

Yejoon was currently in his bed enjoying a nap when his phone started vibrating.

"Hello, this is Yejoon who's speaking?" Yejoon greeted in a polite way.

Yejoon realized he was talking to someone from XXX.

He was informed the company wished for him to make an official music video. Although the audio was doing amazingly, a music video would be way better.
