11 am. || song reference: sample

The ticking of the clock on the wall was the only sound that could be heard inside the room as Jongin waited, anxiously for that class. He was already into the trainee’s schedule and it was hard, so hard that during the first three days when he entered the dorm again the only thing he wanted was to lie down in his bed and sleep until 5am the next morning. It was excruciating but it was so worth, he was sure he could never really learn anything outside those walls. Whenever a sunbae or a teacher pushed his limits instead of making a face, he just wanted them to do it even harder, to break his bones and make him work some more.

Possibly that was the reason why he wanted to have even more than the average vocal classes lessons. Jongin was aware his voice wasn’t the best one, he knew he would stutter whenever a certain note had to be reached (most of the reason why he turned to rap was because he realized whenever he didn’t think about the lyrics and focused on something else – like rhymes and the beat the stuttering was gone) but as much as he was aware of his own limitations, he knew singing was a big thing in the industry – after all, they were going to me mold into idols and even if he didn’t know he was going to be placed in a group or as a solo artist, he needed to be at least good enough to be kept around.

“So very few of you show interest in this class.”, the vocal teacher said and in a way he felt proud of himself for showing interest in that; he could even smile when looking at the male, but as soon as the man’s eyes fell on Jongin, he got a little nervous and just looked down briefly, fingers playing with each other inside the pockets of his training pants. “Perhaps they’re too confident they’re good.”

This time the group of four trainees just chuckled, soundly, and the man allowed himself to follow them. After a brief introduction, he handed them the song they’d be working that morning. He first played the song for them to listen and Jongin could feel his breathing getting heavier by the second, realizing the song was really hard to sing and the singer was just doing a flawless job.

“I expect you to be this brilliant.”, the man informed, causing everyone to just stare in desperation. Noticing that, the professor just laughed a little. “One day. We’re getting there. I’m confident you can be as good as this man here. If you work hard. Now let’s warm up our voices and get started. Kim Jongin, you first!”

Evidently nervous but at least 3% relieved they were not to cover that song in the first class, Jongin came forward, bowing respectfully in front of his teacher, allowing the man to train and teach him to be the best.
