 Abandoning the rhythm, Changmin gave up and sat down on the floor to take his breath. He heard frequently enough that they should never sit during a rehearsal, knowing they just would not be able to go on later, but it just did not matter. Panting, he just decided to look at the other struggle to follow the teacher's moves. For the first time since he got here, he did not have to work like crazy on those dance moves.

 

Today was his first day without Yunho being with him. And Yunho was the only reason Changmin pushed himself so much during dancing lessons.

                         

The lessons were the same for all rookies in the agency and Changmin quickly noticed that the agency did not care much about how hard they were working. Knowing the fact and not being so passionate about the idol thing the others seemed to care about so much, Changmin decided from the start that he probably would not have to force too much if nobody wanted him to do so. He was like that, not really having a dream, just trying to satisfy what people wanted him to be. He could not understand how those people could be so willing to sacrifice themselves only to sing in front of a crowd of screaming boys and girls. It seemed too weird for him and he never felt on the same wavelength. He had never really wanted to neither dance or sing, nor become famous or anything. Everything just fell onto him, and he accepted it carelessly.

 

In the company, Changmin was part of the few privileged persons who got picked without asking anything. Changmin had been noticed by one of those women from the company. She called herself 'headhunter'. He was playing badminton with his friends when she came to him. She did not talk much, only explaining few things about the company, telling they were truly interested in him and his talent _what talent he thought, even if he did not tell her _ and then she asked him to come to the company the next day in the afternoon. Wondering but not really caring much, he went to the so-called audition where they asked him to clap in rhythm and walk in front of them. One hour later, he had a contract in hand and the promise to become a star. He was barely twenty back then, and sometimes he still wondered why he did not wait more before accepting. But he did not and had begun to come to the agency starting then.

 

Many people called him lucky about the fact since it was way harder to enter the company for most of them. Changmin did not know if he was or not, he just went with the flow. Most of them thought he must be particularly good to receive such treatment, but Changmin knew he got picked because of his look. Tall, well-built, long legs, piercing eyes, full lips and killer smile, he heard the first day. He was not delusional, those 'talents' were visibly the only ones they looked for when they chose him. Who would know how good is a boy just looking at him hanging out with friends? Nobody of course. And since they did not really look like they expected him to try hard, he did not.

 

Eventually, nobody ever protested... except Yunho.

 

Yunho and Changmin were from the same university, though Changmin was one year younger. They never talked before this day Changmin went to his first dancing class and he was not ready to forget this meeting. Despite being younger than many of them and definitely a newcomer, Changmin acted like a brat in the agency, looking down his nose at all those efforts the others were doing. Yunho was probably the most diligent between them.

 

Contrary to Changmin, Yunho took the whole working as an idol like a real goal in his life and could not bear anyone takes it as easy as Changmin was. Yunho was not exactly passionate about being an idol, but his dream was to be one of the best singer and dancer. If he had to become an idol to fulfil this dream, then he would, he explained once.

 

Yunho passed two auditions before he got picked. He was only sixteen at the time, and despite being good dancer and singer, they found him a bit too short at the time. He was not any more and when they met, he and Changmin were exactly the same height. That might have been one of the reason that Changmin a bit, a really slight bit, impressed the first time their eyes met. This day, Changmin got quickly put back in his place. Seeing how careless the younger was, Yunho managed to hurt his pride with few words. Something about not being good enough to stay around the working ones. He could not exactly remember what he exactly said, but it pissed him off to the point he decided he hated Yunho and never wanted to meet him again.

 

But Yunho was always there and Changmin began to dance, only to show the other was wrong. Day after day, Changmin worked harder than he ever did during the dance rehearsal. He hoped it would piss Yunho to see how fast he was improving, but quite the reverse, after one month, he received his first smile from him. Then Yunho helped him with few steps, showed him some tips, incited him to train more but Yunho was always training even more. Changmin had been pissed at the beginning, but then he understood how much efforts Yunho was putting to accomplish his dream and Changmin accepted to show him he was not an ungrateful child. Since the dancing lessons were by groups, he started dancing seriously and he was proud every time the elder told him he had been good. Changmin ended up looking at him like the older brother he never had.

 

It was one year ago, but it felt like a decade for him. One entire year that he spent dancing like a crazy man because of the guilt sympathy he was feeling toward Yunho. After almost one year beside him, Changmin had changed his mind a bit. He understood a bit more Yunho's effort and he became really good and handsome dancer in everyone eyes. But today, Yunho was not there. He finally would make his début. And even if Changmin was really happy for him, he felt lonely in the agency now.

 

            The lesson ended for today and each of them went to their singing training. Changmin packed his stuff and got ready to leave. Those lessons were individual ones. Changmin went only once, at the beginning. He was criticised a lot about it, but he did not find any reason to go anyway. Yunho was not behind him to force him, the teacher did not care, the director did not seem to know and he found it particularly boring. He hated being ordered around and he als

Chapter 18: It was so beautiful. I really liked it ~ I loved how you described everything, from how the characters are to their emotions and everything. And the end was just perfect <3
I also want to say that I am really, really sorry. I was really busy and I couldn't finish reading your story until today. I also wanted to read it again from the beginig to remember everything, so it took me some more time. I'm really sorry.
I noticed that you also wrote some Jaemin stories and OMG Jaemin (my first ever OTP). I can't wait to read them too, now that I have a lot of free time.
Author-nim fighting! ^^

Chapter 18: Kyaaaa~ Kyaaaaaa~ Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~ (yes I'm fangirling right now) XD
I know I supposed to comment on what happened from the top to the bottom but I really can't help to not squeal first. XD This is such a nice ending! And I love it! Imagining Changmin's concert through this... OMG I want to keep smiling from time to time as I read this chapterrrrr!!!! Start from how Jaejoong improved in his problem too (and how Yoochun seemed to be a fond of him as well~ may I take this as a hinted JaeChun? /giggles/)... and then Junsu who is finally determined to be able to sing! And I like how Jaejoong told Junsu "It's your turn" after he has done with the audition. XD And I also like how Yunho played hyung role quite well here, for Changmin! Yeyyyyyy~ Yunho is such a nice Hyung for Changmin; he even took his time to meet Junsu as well. And... what else?

OwO I must be missing this fic later... This is greattttttttttt! I can imagine what every characters did here! Whaaaaaa~ <3333333
And the last scene. Ugh. Really everytime I scrolled up and read it a bit.... It's too sweet on how Changmin hugged him in the dark and how he told Junsu it's start; their duet. Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~ <3

LOL. Sorry for being quite random here. XD

Chapter 17: Whaaaaaaaaaa... it's Jaejoong! Jaejoong comes! Ahahahahahaha. XD Didn't expect to see him~ I was a bit sad and worried that Junsu got a new partner for his singing. But knowing it's Jaejoong, then it should be alright then! /positive mind on Jaejoong/ I love how you write Jaejoong and I also love how you explain why Junsu could open up to him a bit fast. It was like... naturally! And even though I imagined it would be sad for Changmin, but you wrote it like there's nothing wrong with that and there's nothing to be sad for Junsu to be with Jaejoong (in a partner-way) XD And.... oho~ I also love it when you showed that Yoochun changed because of Jaejoong too... and they even grew closer as well! Yeay~ <3 lol. And whoa, I'm amazed! Despite everything, Junsu's feeling for Changmin was written rather clear. I can feel how Junsu felt for Changmin... It is really well-written! I wanna cry when Junsu started singing Kajima... Junsu~~~ >"< /hugs Junsu again/ This is beautifulllllll... Reading this was as if I really heard Junsu's singing and how he sang it whole-heartedly. OMG!!!! And the end of chapter- ASADFGHJKL Hurray, Changmin watched him!!!!!!! And he got the ticket! Hehehehehe. Really glad Jaejoong is so supportive! <3

Nyah, to the next chapter!!!

Chapter 16: this one is so sadddddddd.... especially the last part when Junsu and Changmin met and... how he felt it like a goodbye kiss. >"< That scene is so touching yet sad. /sniffs sobs sobs/ And it must be hard for Junsu, right? To think that he has to- no, he wants to believe and trust Changmin yet at the same time he saw everywhere that Changmin would make a debut by himself. It must be like... you know that you believe in him but at the same time the facts are betraying you. Like either you have to take what has been proven or what your precious one said. /hugs junsu/
Uh- oh o_o Didn't expect Junsu to get a new partner.... I wonder who that would be and I wonder whether Junsu is capable to do it with that new partner? :O But I think I get your idea (?) XD That you want to show both of their improvement; from depending one with another, to be independent and able to stand by themselves proudly? (just a rough assumption though. XDXDXD)

Chapter 18: Finally, finished it. It's way complete different from the movie i told u before... I'm glad Junsu can overcome his fear for singing in front of public. It's like a turning point for Junsu from a secretive singer to be public singer. It's a big move to make such progress. I love the ending also 'Wish' song. Great!

Chapter 15: Ouchie~ Should I be glad upon the fact that the company recognized Changmin's talent? Because... no! It's scary... scary because then what's going to happen with Junsu if it's like this. >"< And scary because Junsu seemed to be as determined to let Changmin go alone. But... but they've been through everything with the two of them! Even though yes, Changmin sang great and well by himself, but that performance was for Junsu! He can't sing as great if he never met Junsu! (not that I underestimate him... but I guess that was why the company never knew Changmin's talent before) So... yes it's so scaryyyyy~

Though I am glad that at the end of chapter Junsu finally decided to believe in Changmin... though it's still scary to know what's going to be happened and how if the director didn't agree- because no matter what Changmin said he has proven enough that he could sing. >"< But but... I trust you unn! XP You're not as cruel as me /evil laughs. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~
