"Jun! How about we hang out in my place?" Chang-sun suggested with a big smile on his face as he stared at Jun with excitement and anticipation. No one has ever been to his apartment, and! Jun needed to take his mind off of the things that just happened earlier today. This was a great idea!

Jun brightened up when he heard Chang-sun's suggestion. "Really? You'd let me hang out in your place...?"

"Of course! I guess we're close enough to go at each other's place. But if you don't want to...."

"No! I wanna go!!" Jun quickly interrupted Chang-sun. "I want to go!"

Chang-sun laughed at Jun's enthusiasm. "Okay then! You look excited, it's just going to be my apartment"

Jun shook his head to deny Chang-sun's words. "It's not JUST an apartment. It's YOUR apartment!"

"Whats so exciting about it?" Chang-sun was confused as hell. His apartment was just a normal apartment like any other.

Jun just let out a grin as he explained. "That's because I get to go to my most favorite person's home! And, I'd get to see you stream! In person! That's the best!"

"....Ehh, it's not that big of a deal...." Chang-sun felt shy when Jun started acting like a complete fan boy. Jun threw compliments and praises left and right, Chang-sun was happy yet shy at the same time.

"....Hehe, thanks. Let's go after class okay?"

"Okay!"

When the two of them went to class, all their classmates noticed their entrance. They started whispering, they didn't even hide it and just openly said some things.

"Gosh, I knew Jun Heng was a weirdo...But I didn't think he was that type of weirdo..."

"He's a pervert. No, a slut"

"Sleeping with multiple guys and even with old rich men...He must be so desperate"

"He threw away his dignity as a man...He should be ashamed!"

"....He wasn't even a man in the first place....He's just a little twink."

Chang-sun sweatdropped at the whispers he was hearing. In his last world, the verbal abuse wasn't even that bad and he was able to take it and get used to it.

But....How does Jun look so calm in this situation?! If it was him, he didn't think he could take it considering how nasty those comments are. He wasn't even the subject but Chang-sun felt so sick.

"Elliot." Jun called out when he noticed the uncomfortable look Chang-sun was making. Jun felt pissed when the people made his friend uncomfortable, he just wanted to kick them out and then punch the living day lights out of them. "Don't worry about me, it's not that serious!"

Chang-sun looked at Jun's smiling face, he does look okay....But Chang-sun still wasn't okay with it.

Jun giggled as he held Chang-sun's hand. "Let's ignore all those fuckers okay?"

Chang-sun's face went from worried, to complete confusion. He was dumbfounded when he heard Jun curse. It was the first time he heard Jun say that....It left him speechless, which made Chang-sun easier to drag.

Jun dragged Chang-sun to the most back of the classroom and sat there.

As the Professor went inside and started his lesson, Chang-sun sat there still in daze. It was only when the bell rang did Chang-sun finally snap out of his trance. "Oh! I wasn't able to listen to class!"

Jun laughed out loud as he stared at Chang-sun's panicked and disheveled look. "Don't worry Elliot! I took some notes for you~"

"Wow! Jun! You're the best...." Chang-sun felt touched and greatful.

"Heh, I am. Anyways, let's go to your place okay? I'm so excited to see what it looks like!"

"Of course! Give me a second" Chang-sun packed his things before standing up and leaving the classroom with Jun.

While they were walking in the streets, the two of them saw some food vendors and bought something to eat. While they were eating, they saw a crowd forming around some guys who were singing.

The crowd of people seemed to enjoy the calming voice of that singer and they even started swaying with the music.

Jun stared at them for awhile, then he caught a glimpse of Chang-sun humming with the song. "........"

Jun lowered his eyes as if thinking for a moment, before suddenly getting a great idea! "Elliot! Wait here!" Jun finished the snack he was eating and quickly went to the crowds of people.

When he reached the two people, Jun threw some coins on the guitar case that was filled with money. He then started to whisper something to them and at some point Jun was pointing at Chang-sun.

The two men nodded at Jun's word, the singer then stepped out of the microphone and Jun replaced him.

"...What is he doing?" Chang-sun felt dazed when he saw Jun grabbing the microphone with a big confident smile on his face.

[He's gonna sing]

Chang-sun has never heard Jun sing before. But when he looks at Jun's natural stage presence, he couldn't help but watch in anticipation.

"This is for my one and only friend!" Jun signalled the guitarist and the guitarist started to strum the strings.

The spectators who had gathered were taken aback and stunned into stillness as they watched Jun sing. His voice was so powerful and melodic that it was undeniable.

The notes rained down upon them like a powerful storm, pounding away at their senses and sweeping them away into a sea of emotion. As he finished the song, they cheered and gasped in awe, their minds blown and their hearts full. It was a performance that would live on in their memories long after it was over, a moment they would never forget.

Chang-sun was so impressed, he felt goosebumps all over his skin when he listened to Jun sing. '...Woah!...That was... Incredible!!'

Chang-sun looked at Jun with admiration, when Jun returned to his side he quickly patted his back with a happy look. "I never knew you could sing like that Jun! How come I have never known? Did you hide your talent all this time??"

Jun laughed feeling pleased and proud of himself when Chang-sun was praising and complimenting him. His heart swelled with undeniable happiness. "Hehe~ I never got the chance to show off"

"What? That's impossible!" He and Jun are literally in a college of music. Chang-sun felt regretful that a talent like Jun isn't shown to the world...

Jun just shook his head with a smile. "But you were the reason why I just wanted to sing earlier!"

"Eh?...Me?" Chang-sun stared with wide eyes. He felt touched and.....Is his heart beating? How...Chang-sun was getting confused.

Jun vigorously nodded his head. "You made me want to show off my skills! I wanted to show you the best of me..." This pink haired boy suddenly blushed and looking bashful.

"...Jun...." Chang-sun only knew that the only person who can make his heart beat like this was Jian. But...Chang-sun is still not sure! The honeysuckle on his palm isn't even reacting! So....Maybe there's a chance that Jun, isn't Jian...

Chang-sun felt slightly disappointed. '...Huh? Why am I disappointed...? I also feel, sad...'

[Host. May I say something?]

'You're already saying something Pin'

[Yes, yes. Anyways....I don't think this cheap soul binding honeysuckle is working. Well it kinda worked because Jian is also here in this world. But I don't think it's doing it's job by detecting where the hell Jian is.]

Pin seemed to be more expressive these days, but Chang-sun didn't mind it. In fact, he encourages Pin to do it more!

'...Eh? Is that right?!....So that means....Jun IS Jian! My heart...My heart never lies!'

[I also trust your heart, dear Host.] Pin seemed to be smiling when he said those words.

[I suspect Jun is also Jian. Though he cannot hear me unlike the last two worlds.]

While Chang-sun and Pin were busy talking, Jun was approached by someone...It looked like an Agent.

"Hello! I heard you sing earlier and I was blown away!" A man wearing glasses approached Jun with a friendly smile. He then started rummaging through his bag and held out a card.

"If you're interested in becoming an idol, you can call this number! I'm a Scout, trying to scout talents from the street, and you my friend. Are very talented!"

"Woah!" Jun was amazed as he took the card and looked it over with a curious look.

Chang-sun also went over to Jun and looked at the card. "Starlight Entertainment?"

"Oh!! I've heard of this Agency before!!" Jun exclaimed in shock and excitement.

The scout smiled at Jun's reaction. "If you made the decision, you can contact us. We will be waiting for you!" The scout waved before walking away feeling successful that he scouted a very talented kid.

"E-Elliot! Did you just see that? I've been scouted!" Jun was so excited his face was flushed and his eyes were shining so brightly.

Chang-sun chuckled feeling amused by Jun's excitement. "Yes, you did!"

"I'm so gonna join! I'll be an Idol!" The two then started walking towards Chang-sun's apartment whilst Jun kept blabbing about joining the Starlight Ent.

When they arrived at the building, Chang-sun saw Mingze pressing at the elevator button. Chang-sun quickly greeted his older friend.

"Mingze! Hello!"

Mingze turned around. "Xiao Xing. Hello as well." He also saw Jun who seemed to be glaring at Mingze. He was confused, but his face still looked calm. "This is..?"

"Oh! This is Jun! My classmate, and he'll be having a sleepover in my apartment!" Chang-sun said with a soft smile as the three of them got on the elevator.

Mingze stood on the left, and Jun stood on the right while Chang-sun stood in the middle. He didn't feel awkward at all, the big guy was still smiling while Mingze and Jun were standing awkwardly.

"Xiao Xing, will you still be able to join me tomorrow morning for a jog?" Mingze thoughtfully looked at Jun who side eyed him with a dark aura.

"Oh of course! I need to be fit after all"

"Elliot! I also wanna join!" Jun's voice suddenly butt in their conversation.

Chang-sun nodded. "Okay then!"

Mingze wasn't so pleased. But he's an adult, and it's not very honorable to fight with a kid.

When Mingze's floor arrived, he said goodbye to Chang-sun but not to Jun. '....Why am I acting so immature?' Mingze couldn't help but think with an ashamed look as he walked out of the elevator.

When the elevator closed and started moving up. Jun let out pout. "I don't like him!"

Chang-sun looked at Jun with a speechless look. "How come?"

"I just don't like him!"

"...Well, Mingze is not that bad.."

"I still don't like him!"

Chang-sun just smiled with a helpless look. 'This Jian is very different from the other Jian's. He seems more... Childlike. It's kinda cute.'

[So Host likes cute stuff.]

'Everybody likes cute stuff!'
