Let's just get to it since I'm sure you're curious.
Two hours passed since I came to the random street again to sing.
It was basically a mini concert.
I made banks, though. So I'm not complaining.
The reactions were even better than on Monday, and a guy I recognized from before had come back here.
He approached me once the crowd of people began to subside.
Now I'm definitely above average, but this guy was taller than me by at least about half a hand. It was hard to forget him.
He was also wearing a hat and a medical mask. He seemed to be trying too hard to hide himself.
"I was also here last time. Your singing improved a lot in two days," this guy's voice was unexpectedly light.
"Thank you so much! If you'd like, please-"
"What's your Instapounds?"
The fuck.
This guy just cut off my shameless request for money.
"Eh? I don't have one."
This guy chuckled. What an oddball.
"No wonder. You seem unaware of the title 'Hongdae's Siren'."
Why this- I almost slipped out some extremely nice words.
I just laughed instead, service worker style.
"Then write mine down. If you ever make an Insta, DM me as Hongdae Siren."
I was going to refuse the pushy offer, but the guy already shoved his phone at me.
@dddojun.
Oh!
This guy... this guy? He's that famous trainee from Cone Entertainment.
I know after binging so many idol shows and forcing some names out of Admin-nim.
For research.
"Wait, what? Why are you..."
This guy leaned down with his index finger in front of the medical mask.
He pulled his mask down and showed a thin smile.
"Someone might hear."
.
We ended up going to a secluded rice cake restaurant together.
"So. What's- why?"
"What do you mean, why?"
"Why, as in: why are you here? Why did you drag me here? And why do you seem so interested?"
The guy chuckled.
"Can I take a picture with you?"
What is with this freak. I get that he's hot and all, but this is borderline annoying.
Before I could ask, this Dojun guy was already talking again.
"Relax. Even if I posted the picture, I won't call you Hongdae Siren."
I leaned back against the wall.
"OkAy. But why, though?"
Dojun smiled again.
"I like your voice."
Oh!
"I may have made that title as a joke, but you really do sound like a siren to me. And as your self-proclaimed first fan, I wanna be your friend."
"Oh."
Wait a second...
"You came up with that shit title?"
Dojun opened his wide mouth again, but I cut him off.
"Was it an alt account of yours? You commented on that knee-up guy or whatever? Or maybe you are that account's owner!"
I was ready to throw flames, but this guy turned out to be a mocking river.
Dojun chuckled, "Yes, yes, sorry for that. But still, think it over? I'm not a bad friend, you seem to know me already."
"Oh, no, you can't-"
.
In the end, Dojun didn't tell his alt account.
And to hell, I ended up taking a picture with him, hats off and everything!
I sighed.
"It's fine. I already thought it over."
Actually, this could make my survival show appearance more convincing.
After weighing the pros and cons, I decided that this guy was weird and pretty creepy.
But he's Kim Dojun, a famous from Cone Entertainment who, Admin-nim herself, said will be participating in the whatever idol survival show thing!
So I won't be too lonely there...
Plus, free publicity.
And he said my voice was pretty. That made me agree.
I agreed and introduced myself as Chan, which was the name on my previously private Instapounds account.
I didn't make any posts, didn't follow anyone, and didn't comment on anything, so there was no need to make a new one.
@h.chan, the ten years old account that was as good as dead, now had exactly one follower and one following.
- @dddojun: Heyy so can i post this pic?
Ah, Dojun sent me a message already. I read it about twenty minutes after the notification, after arriving home.
I leaned against my door's wall.
- @h.chan: Do it next week or something. I'm not ready for the follower count to blow up yet.
- @dddojun: Okkk
- @dddojun: Do you have time to talk?
- @dddojun: I wanna get to know u moree
This guy.
His typing style is way too annoying.
I sighed and pushed my back away.
I still need to count the money I got from busking. And I should also find a good picture for my profile.
Then there's also practice on top of everything.
But...
"Asking this guy for advice is practice, too."
- @h.chan: Let me wash up first.
Just for the advice.
