Childhood Friends

Epilogue: Part 2

"Hwang Chaeryoung, please!" Bang Chan exclaimed.
"Yes, hello." Charlie said.
"I just saw your brother." Bang Chan said.
"Yeah, did he do good?" Charlie asked.
"That's for him to find out." Bang Chan said with a wink.
Charlie blushes, "Okay."
"What have you prepared for me today?" Bang Chan asked.
"I'll be singing Levanter by Stray Kids." Charlie said.
"Oh?" Bang Chan asked, "Please proceed."

The instrumental to Levanter begins playing. Charlie starts singing and Bang Chan smiles. He already knows that Charlie is going to be good. When it gets to the rap parts; Changbin, Felix, Han, Hyunjin, and Bang Chan's parts, Charlie slays those parts. Bang Chan says, "ooh," in awe of how well Charlie can rap. The rapping talent got passed down by Hyunjin ;) When Charlie finishes singing Levanter, Bang Chan stands up and applauds her.
"Wow, that was incredible. You did so well." Bang Chan said.
"Thanks, sir." Charlie said, starting to tear up.
"I think you and your brother will be going on to doing great things." Bang Chan said.
"Thank you." Charlie said, still crying.
"Come here." Bang Chan said.
Charlie approaches Bang Chan slowly. Bang Chan wraps his arms around Charlie in a tight hug, then continues,
"Remember, I watched you grow up. You've come so far. Don't be so hard on yourself."
"You and all the members were like uncles to me since dad never had siblings." Charlie said.
"Yeah, so just remember that for me, okay?" Bang Chan asked.
"I will." Charlie said.

*2 Weeks Later*
Luke and Charlie have successfully passed their 2nd and 3rd auditions, making into JYP Entertainment as trainees. Now, the real challenge begins. They don't know how long they'll be training or if they'll even want to stay, but they really want to work for this. They passed the auditions for a reason. They want to work for their debut. During their time as trainees, they made friends with a lot of people. Many other trainees recognized their last name and knew that Hyunjin is their dad. Once getting to know them, the reason for being friends changed from just simply being the children of Hyunjin.

Around 4 years pass by, Luke is 21 now and Charlie is 19. Since moving back to Seoul for training, they're called by their Korean names all over again. Anyways, rhey're are getting nervous now because they saw all their friends leave and debut. They are getting too old to become idols, and if anymore years pass by, it'll be too late, and they'll have to change careers.
"Hyunjae and Chaeryoung, may I speak to you?" Bang Chan asked.
"Oh, God. You scared me. Don't just walk in like that." Hyunjae said.
"What would you like to talk to us about?" Chaeryoung asked.
"You guys have been here for a while, right?" Bang Chan asked.
"Yes, sir." They said in unison.
"We have been thinking for a while, you two are some of the most talented trainees we have seen this year. We were saddened by how younger and slightly more talented trainees debuted before you." Bang Chan said.
"Yeah, and what are you getting at?" Hyunjae asked.
"We want to give you guys a chance to debut as a sibling duo." Bang Chan said.
"Really?!" Chaeryoung asked, shocked.
"Yes, we thought about it for a long time. We think that making you a duo would be our best bet now." Bang Chan said.
"Thank you so much, Bang Chan." Hyunjae said.
"This is amazing." Chaeryoung said.
"Look forward to your debut very soon." Bang Chan said.
"Yes!" Hyunjae said, putting up his hand for a high five. Chaeryoung gives him a high five that turns into a hug. Now, both of them are crying about how they get to debut together.

With their debut coming up, Hyunjae and Chaeryoung have an excuse to train even harder for the next 6 months. In these six months, they are to polish their performances and make sure they are completely ready for debut. This is usually the hardest part of the trainees' training. As soon as they got the news, Hyunjae called Hyunjin and I, telling us that they're going to debut as a sibling duo. I never saw that before out of JYP Entertainment. I've only seen the formation of subunits of two from established groups. Hyunjae and Chaeryoung will be the first of their kind to debut as a duo under JYP Entertainment.

♡Debut of H&C♡
Today, Hyunjae and Chaeryoung will be making their debut. They even got to decide what their name would be. They thought that they would use their initials because they liked the ring of it. Chaeryoung designed their logo, and it looks artistic and pretty. They already filmed their debut song music video and now are just waiting to do their debut showcases. Their schedule is already insane, but they've prepared for this. Hyunjin had told them all about it, saying,
"Be prepared to get zero sleep." That was his only warning when going into a life of being a K-pop idol.

Taking this warning and running with it, Hyunjae and Chaeryoung are ready to debut. When they performed at their first showcase, everyone loved it. At first, they thought they were a couple, but then soon realized that they're siblings. Their debut mini album will have a total of five songs, including an Intro, title track, two b-sides, and an outro. I took my first listen of their debut album and I was blown away by how good they are. They're already doing so well. They are bound to go places. Hyunjae and Chaeryoung finished up their first round of showcases and are on a place back to The States for their US showcases. They are somehow more nervous because America is like a second home to them. They don't want to disappoint their American fans.
