Chapter Four

"No buts, Lee Taeyong. Lower ranks' professors are complaining that you're more than skilled enough to be there. You deserve to be a leader, now leave."

He went out of the director's office but he breakdown right outside, thank God there's a bench out there. He can't just help but have a mental breakdown.

For two weeks of being part of the Golds, it's like the best time of his life. Just by thinking that he's the leader again is making him cry.

Why is being talented and skilled feels like it's a punishment from the heavens? Or maybe, it is.

Taeyong went back to the dorm, there he saw Doyoung who looks so focused on his phone. "Hey, Tae." He called.

"Hmm," he's not really in the mood to talk, but he doesn't wanna be rude. "Monthly evaluation is happening in three weeks." Doyoung showed his phone.

A monthly evaluation is done every last Friday of the month. Thie first and last month of the school year is exempted.

A monthly evaluation performance is either done by solo, duo, or by group. 50% of their grades are based on this event.

It could really help a student rank up, or rank down too. It's actually crueler than anyone could imagine.

Taeyong could see the excitement from Doyoung's eyes, it's his first time anyway. He's excited, not knowing how cruel that event is.

The red haired guy wanted to take a rest but before he even could, two annoying brats entered their room.

"Oh, hey Doyoung hyung!" Yangyang greeted and lay down at Doyoung's bed. It wasn't that hard to be close. Ten, on the other hand, sat down at Taeyong's bed.

"How are you guys going to perform on the monthly evaluation? Solo? Duo? Group?" Doyoung asked.

Yangyang raised his hand with a proud smile, "I'm grouping with my friends on dance demonstration class! Xiaojun and Hendery!"

Taeyong nodded and showed a proud smile too, "That's cool. I'll look forward on your performance." That made Yangyang giggle.

"I'll do solo, as always." Taeyong answered. He's been performing solo since last year. He doesn't want to be dragged down nor drag anyone down.

Doyoung looked at Ten, "Hmm.. I'll be doing a duo with my dance buddy, Sicheng."

"How about you?" Yangyang asked the owner of the bed he's lying at. "A vocal performance with Taeil,"

"Moon Taeil? You're close with him?" Ten asked in disbelief. "Yeah, we practice our vocals together sometimes." Doyoung replied.

Taeil is a only a Pro member but actually famous for being the best in vocals. Everyone looks up to him and appreciates his talent, he deserves it anyway.

"Wait, what's the Last Evaluation?" Doyoung asked when he saw a random comment on his phone. "It's an another event that happens every end of the school year." Yangyang explained.

Ten gasped when he remembered the Last Evaluation last school year, "Oh hell, it's hell!" He exlaimed and cling onto Taeyong's arm who's laughing.

"Not everyone is required to join that event, it's your choice if you want to or not. But there are different companies who'll attend to watch, and they could choose any student they think has a potential to be their trainee." Taeyong explained more.

In short, that event is an opportunity for anyone. They could graduate in an instant.

Yangyang laughed too when he remembered last year's Last Evaluation, "Taeyong hyung and I didn't join that but Ten did, some praised him but someone harshly judged him. You'll also laugh if just have seen his face."
