Over the next six months, intense training became the norm for all trainee idols.
Chuuya, having some prior experience from his old company, emerged as the best among them. Dazai was confident that Chuuya would soon make his debut as a new idol.
Chuuya excelled in every aspect, swiftly learning even in areas where he initially faced challenges.
He formed connections during this time, including a friendship with Akutagawa, who was younger than him. Additionally, his reserved sister, Gin, revealed a kindness unique to her own personality.
During the training sessions, Dazai keenly observed Chuuya. His flexibility and remarkable athleticism were hard to ignore.
The thought crossed Dazai's mind—perhaps Chuuya would have been better suited as an athlete rather than an idol. Chuuya caught his glance, prompting a momentary exchange of looks between the two.
"The Fuck are you looking at?" Chuuya questioned.
Dazai jumped but couldn't suppress a grin. "Nothing, just thinking about how much of a slug you are," he retorted, adding a teasing edge to his response.
Dazai stole a glance at Chuuya, not anticipating a response given the continuous teasing throughout the training.
He smirked slightly, returning to his observation of Chuuya without expecting any reaction. Even when Chuuya cursed at him, Dazai remained silent, hoping for a break in the monotonous silence.
Chuuya scowled, muttering a dismissive "whatever." The air hung with a mixture of tension and unspoken dynamics between the two.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few months later, Dazai gathered all the trainees. "Mori has decided that I make your groups. That being said, don't take it personally if you don't get called; it just means you need a little more practice until you can debut."
The room filled with a mix of anticipation and anxiety as they awaited the announcement.
Nervous tension filled the room as everyone awaited Dazai's announcements. Chuuya, however, rolled his eyes, displaying a clear lack of interest.
The ongoing scandal being broadcasted had dampened his enthusiasm, and he found himself indifferent to the outcome.
The thought of potential backlash from his fans lingered in Chuuya's mind. The possibility that his fans might turn against him due to the scandal weighed on him, adding an extra layer of uncertainty to the situation.
As Dazai called out the names of those who made it, offering praise for their talents, Chuuya's name was eventually called. However, instead of praise, Dazai merely smirked.
" Don't make me regret this slug."
Chuuya scowled, feeling the urge to punch Dazai, though he refrained, aware of the potential problems it could cause.
After the roll call and seeing others leave without being chosen, Dazai proceeded to split them into groups of five—excluding Chuuya and the Akutagawa siblings.
Dazai informed Chuuya and the Akutagawa siblings that they would form their own group, and perhaps backups would be added later.
As they began to navigate their new roles as official idols in the entertainment world, they delved into the expectations and responsibilities that came with their newfound status.
The journey ahead promised a mix of challenges and opportunities as they embraced their roles in the industry.
The presence of a rival industry added an extra layer of pressure for PM Industries, something Mori wasn't pleased about.
