Chapter 27: Chapter 26 : End Of Month Evaluation (6)
Pavlov.
He discovered conditional reflexes, where a dog salivates just by hearing the sound of its owner's footsteps, pioneering the field of cerebral physiology. To put it simply, for example, right now.
"Boksoon!"
"Aaah!!!"
At the peak of pleasure, I kept calling her name in her ear, planning to make her wet just by hearing her name.
"Ugh!! Haah! Are you really going to keep doing this?"
Park Bok-soon, no, Teacher Boksoon, slapped my chest. She resented my mischievous actions.
"Teacher, do you know? Every time I call you Bok-soon, it gets wet down there."
"Eek!"
I understood why people say starting is half the battle, and the first time is hard, but the second time is easy. After having sex in the practice room, we continued to meet here regularly. Boldly, a mattress was laid in one corner of the practice room. It was too painful to do it on the bare floor.
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
"Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!"
Slap! Slap!
As I thrust my dick into her while she was lying face down, I couldn't resist and slapped her quivering buttocks. Her butt turned red, but Bok-soon seemed to enjoy the pain.
'She's definitely has M tendencies.'
Although she pretended not to, she never told me to stop when I tormented her buttocks and pulled her nipples hard.
"Teacher, have you ever tried it here?"
When I asked, rubbing her anus with my thumb, she startled and covered her anus with her palm.
"Kyaa! Not there!!"
"Huh, I'm not interested in that area either. I just asked because it's pretty."
Her anus was lighter in color and prettier than her vagina.
"That's not a place to enter! Absolutely not!!"
From her firm reaction, it seemed she had never used it before. I only asked because I saw it, not because I was genuinely interested, so I gave up easily.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. Instead, I'll fuck you hard. You like this part, right?"
"Kyaeng! Uuuuuuu…Ah…Uu…Auaaaaah!!"
Thrust! Thrust! Thrust! Thrust!
"Wow, your high notes are amazing. Make me hit high notes like that too."
Maybe because she's a singer? Her moans sometimes came out surprisingly high-pitched. I poured a lot of semen into Bok-soon's body, who was completely lost in pleasure.
[Your coin balance has increased by +1.]
"Phew."
Condoms were completely impossible to wear, as Pony had said. Fortunately, none of the women I've met have complained about ejaculating inside their vaginas.
"Haah, I have no strength left in my body."
"Haha."
"I should have had sex before the lesson…."
"I didn't start it."
"Yeah, I couldn't resist and pounced on you first. Honestly, I was a bit annoyed. Why didn't you learn to sing earlier with all that talent?"
Bok-soon complained that I was a talented jerk, even though half of the lesson time was spent on sex, and my singing skills continued to improve.
"I never thought about becoming an idol."
"Well, with that face, you could easily connect with upper-class women, so you didn't need to become an idol. But why did you decide to become an idol?"
"I joined lightly because they said they would debut me as an idol."
"Did you get a definite promise to debut?"
"Yes, it was even written in the contract. Ah! I'm not supposed to talk about this."
The contract stated that I shouldn't discuss these details.
"It's okay with me. I won't tell anyone. So that's why you're so relaxed, you have something to rely on."
Bok-soon blushed, embarrassed. It made sense. She had tried to scare me by saying I wouldn't debut if I kept seeing Ahyeon.
"Anyway, how much will my skills improve by the time I debut if I keep taking lessons like this?"
"Your skills improved quickly at first because you had no foundation. Now, the learning curve will smooth out, but since you're so talented, I can't be sure. But at least you'll be ready for the stage. Honestly, for idols, dance is more important than singing on stage."
The more members there are, the less time each person has to sing on stage. Currently, there are five members, but it's unclear how many more will be added after the month-end evaluation.
"I hope I'm not too far behind the others."
I wondered how many coins I would need to spend to reach a level where I wouldn't be a burden to the others. Thanks to Bok-soon's help, I've been able to earn more coins and improve my abilities, but there were other skills I wanted to improve as well. So, if I heard that this was enough, I planned to pause improving my singing and dancing.
"If you have more talent than I imagined, I hope you continue taking lessons even after debuting as an idol."
"You're not suggesting I become a solo singer, are you?"
"Wouldn't it be nice to debut as a solo singer after your idol contract ends?"
"…I'll think about that later. I haven't even debuted yet, so thinking that far ahead seems like too much."
Bok-soon backed down, but she seemed to want to keep teaching me. However, if I don't use coins to improve my abilities, it's all for nothing. After improving to a certain level, if my skills don't grow, she'll give up too. We waited for our bodies to regain strength and then slowly got up and cleaned the area.
"Even if you're in your 20s, is it really okay to do it every other day? Your stamina is amazing."
"I'm fine."
I wonder how surprised they'd be if they knew that Joo-ah is sometimes involved behind the scenes.
Of course, to manage such an intense schedule, a lot of investment had to be made in stamina.
Even now, I'm steadily working on improving and maintaining my stamina.
"You're a monster, a monster. The world needs more freaks like you."
Bok-soon surprisingly hit the nail on the head.
"I guess I'm a bit of a special case."
"Because of you, I've been losing my mind lately. If I weren't crazy, I could never get away with this at the company."
"Who would come here during a lesson?"
"It's not about whether we get caught or not; the problem is that we keep doing this. You idiot!"
"Do you hate it?"
"No. That's why I said I'm crazy. I don't dislike it."
"Anyway, once the supplementary classes are over, this will all just become a memory in the practice room. So, why not? Let's enjoy this moment while we can."
I probably won't be able to have long 1:1 lessons with Bok-soon.
The end-of-month evaluation is tomorrow, and once the debut members are decided, full-scale debut preparations will begin.
After that, I'll be so busy that I can't even guarantee when I'll have lessons with Bok-soon again.
Bok-soon still seemed to be deep in thought about my words, but it was a concern she couldn't truly relate to.
•••••••
Finally, the end-of-month evaluation began.
The evaluations were for group song performance, group dance, individual vocals, and individual dance.
"The accuracy of your movements and energy doesn't stand out much."
"Your expression is too stiff. You need to practice your facial expressions. Are you nervous, is that why it's stiff?"
"Your gestures are too ordinary. I think you need to practice more unique gestures. Are you going to perform like this on stage even after debuting?"
"You've improved a lot, but maybe because you're tired, your expression during high notes isn't pretty."
"You were much worse than when you practiced. If you can't show your skills because of nervousness, all the practice in the world won't help, you know?"
"Your performance was great overall. But you seem too distracted by your surroundings. You need to focus more on your performance."
"Your pronunciation is too exaggerated. It sounds gross. Don't do that."
"Why have you gained so much weight? Aren't you managing your diet?"
"Why is the dance difficulty so high? Did you come up with this? You're being too greedy. It's suffocating to watch. I feel anxious, thinking you're going to make a mistake. It's better not to do something like this."
The trainees' mood drastically dropped.
Although they had successfully completed the group performance, all that came from the teachers were harsh critiques.
Occasionally, they mentioned parts that were done well, but they focused much more on the negative aspects, to the point where the trainees began to wonder, "Did I even receive any praise?"
'I think I did better than during practice...'
Even after finishing the group song and dance, none of the trainees in the debut group were smiling.
"Is this a talent show? 'I'm good at this. I'm good at that.' Yeah, I know you're good at that. But none of it is pretty. Why are you decorating the stage like this? Are you going to whine to the fans, asking them to praise your skills?"
Silence filled the room.
They had only thought about showing off their skills.
"If any of you want to do a talent show, go to the school festival."
'This is intense, really intense.'
There were trainees who showed tears from the harsh evaluations.
Sniffling!
Despite the continuous harsh criticism, the end-of-month evaluation continued.
Today, the teachers were colder and more detached than ever.
I understand why the teachers are acting this way.
It's because the CEO and director of Honey Entertainment are sitting right next to them.
In fact, this is a situation that would naturally make the teachers nervous.
If they had taught the trainees well, the trainees would have delivered great performances in today's end-of-month evaluation, but if they hadn't taught well, the trainees would give poor performances.
'It's like when an employee gives a presentation in front of the boss—if things go badly, their heart will definitely race.'
Instead of empathizing with the trainees who were crying, I empathized with the teachers.
Even if the trainees did well, the teachers would still be uneasy and anxious. Having to give harsh critiques in such a situation, how stressful must it be for them?
Their lips must be dry, and their knees must be shaking.
"Let's move on to the next one."
The CEO and director didn't speak during the stage evaluation, instead standing back and quietly observing.
Their presence exuded such an overwhelming aura that the teachers sitting next to them were visibly unsettled.
'That's even scarier.'
Chills!
I'm thankful that I'm not in the teachers' position.
"Some of the kids are standing out even in this situation."
Despite doing the same dance and being on the same stage, there were certain trainees who caught people's attention. The CEO and director openly mentioned a few of them.
Given that the debut team members would be chosen through this end-of-month evaluation, who was being talked about was extremely important.
"Hae-sol definitely stands out even when the group is just average because of his looks."
"His face is his talent. I didn't expect much from his singing, but you really taught him the basics well."
"I teach him well, but honestly, he's naturally talented. Sometimes she can be a bit annoying, though."
"Haha!"
"Woo-yeon's expression is so much better in the actual performance than in practice. You can really feel that he's enjoying this stage."
The trainees who were receiving mostly positive reviews were the ones who had already been decided as debut members.
Of course, they couldn't completely avoid harsh criticism, but it was clear to everyone that they stood out as special.
In particular, Jackie was impressive.
Jackie's rap, spitting out words that even I would have difficulty reading, flowed rhythmically and flawlessly, and no matter how harsh the teacher's critiques were, they couldn't help but applaud.
Clap clap clap!
The watching trainees also couldn't help but applaud Jackie's rap performance.
"Jackie really speaks for himself."
"Exactly. He's our company's treasure. A real gem."
Kangjun showcased his skills to the fullest with his singing, while Kang Gyeong-tae received praise from the teachers for maintaining steady pitch while dancing and singing at the same time.
Woo-yeon prepared an adorable and charming dance stage, showcasing his personality so well that the teachers were impressed, remarking that they wished they had recorded the performance.
And then,
the last performance of the day was my own individual stage.
