Chapter 14: I Became the Older Brother of a Top Star

It was quite an extraordinary experience.

As the auras of PD Kim and Baek Su-jin merged with my body, their talents and knowledge were being absorbed by me.

‘So this is how it works.’

In most cases, when absorbing another aura, the existing aura would be pushed out.

Until now, every time I listened to classes at school, I changed my aura in this way.

But this was different.

Instead of pushing each other away, they combined, providing me with new abilities and perspectives.

‘This feels very different.’

With PD Kim’s talent and knowledge alone, I could create music. However, it wasn’t guaranteed that the music would suit Baek Su-jin.

But with Baek Su-jin’s aura added, I could instantly grasp what kind of music would suit her.

Because I could analyze her talent more accurately through PD Kim’s musical perspective.

‘It’s hard to explain, but I can just feel it.’

I never thought the synergy I saw at the girl group practice stage could be activated like this.

I don’t know exactly what the conditions are, but it seems to have worked out well as we collaborated.

Therefore, even more so,

‘This song won’t do.’

I feel bad for PD Kim, but I need to put a stop to this.

“Um, Hyung. Did you set Su-jin’s concept as pure and innocent?”

“Huh? Haha. What’s this? Are you reading my mind now? You haven’t even heard the song yet.”

Through the aura, I already knew how PD Kim intended to develop Baek Su-jin.

He only saw her as she appeared.

She does have a pure and innocent look, so if she pursued this concept, it might work.

‘But Baek Su-jin’s strength isn’t that.’

Through the aura connected to Baek Su-jin, I knew her true self.

She has an incredible allure hidden behind her innocent beauty.

Although she doesn’t express it, once she lets it out, the potential will be immense. That’s why I advised Baek Su-jin to try a sexy concept last time.

“I think Su-jin has a different charm.”

At this, Baek Su-jin’s eyes sparkled.

“Really? What kind of charm do you think I have?”

She leaned in so close that our faces almost touched, and I stepped back slightly.

“I said it before, didn’t I? You need to change your style. I think a sexy concept suits you better than a pure and innocent one.”

“Sexy concept? Su-jin?”

PD Kim reacted with surprise.

“No way. Even to you, Su-jin seems more on the pure and innocent side, right? She doesn’t look sexy at all.”

On the surface, that’s true.

But I trust the aura flowing into me and my judgment more than PD Kim’s eyes.

“What do you think, Su-jin?”

“Um? W-well...”

Baek Su-jin blushed.

It’s probably embarrassing for her to say it herself.

In situations like this, it’s good to give her a little push.

“Say it confidently. You are very sexy. Really.”

“Eh? If you say it so suddenly...”

At that moment,

Baek Su-jin’s aura, connected to me, began to burn even more.

How should I describe this?

Yes, it’s like a level-up, even growing a bit in size.

‘What’s happening?’

Is it because I encouraged her?

Otherwise, her aura wouldn’t suddenly react like this.

To confirm if my guess is right, there’s only one way.

“You don’t need to be embarrassed. You are the sexiest person I’ve ever seen.”

“!?”

Indeed, her aura turned as red as her blushing face.

Wait a moment.

Turn red?

‘The aura color changed.’

The blue aura turned bright red, and the calm wave-like feeling it gave off also changed.

It’s like being in front of a fire, making my body feel hot.

This is the first time I’ve experienced such a change in the aura’s feeling from someone else.

“PD, can I go touch up my makeup for a moment?”

“Huh? Now?”

“Yes. And I’ll change my clothes too. It won’t take long. I’ll run back to the dorm and come back quickly.”

“O-Okay.”

“And while I’m gone, could you prepare a song? One of the songs the trainees use for sexy dance practice. Any of them will do.”

Baek Su-jin left the studio quickly after saying this.

“...Wow.”

Unable to play the song he prepared, PD Kim looked a bit dazed.

“Hyung, I’m being too presumptuous, right? I’m sorry.”

“Huh? No, I’m curious too. A sexy concept for Su-jin... I’ve tried it a few times, but it didn’t work well. Until now, that is.”

I need to see it myself.

The aura is clear, but it might be different in practice.

“What song should we use?”

“How about ‘Feel Me’? It’s a sexy dance song. What do you think?”

“Ah, right. There’s no better song for a sexy dance.”

I think Baek Su-jin can handle this song, which was once popular in the U.S.

After a short while,

“I’m back!”

She returned quickly, having changed her makeup and clothes as promised.

“Wow...”

PD Kim blinked at her completely transformed appearance.

“Your makeup is a bit heavier, and your hairstyle hasn’t changed much, but the overall feeling is very different.”

“Hehe. Isn’t it? Yun-seong said it would be good to try this last time.”

Short dolphin shorts and a tight white T-shirt.

She knows exactly how to reveal her sexy side.

“Can I dance here?”

“Here?”

“Yes. Just play the song.”

PD Kim nodded and played the song.

Then, she started dancing, incorporating her own interpretation and style.

“Wow...”

This guy is completely mesmerized.

I could tell from PD Kim’s eyes that Baek Su-jin was finally showcasing her talent.

Like her red aura, Baek Su-jin was unleashing the talent she had hidden inside.

As the song reached its climax, her talent shone even more.

Her alluring gaze, the smooth movement of her hips, and her captivating dance moves.

Baek Su-jin had all the qualities a sexy singer should have.

“Phew-.”

After the intense dance, she panted heavily.

But that wasn’t the end.

From her outfit to her gaze, she showed the determination to keep the audience’s attention even after the performance.

She instinctively knew what people liked.

“Wow...”

PD Kim’s reaction alone was enough to answer.

“How did you hide such talent all this time? No, this is a completely different person!”

“Hehe.”

Unlike the performance just now, she smiled shyly.

I looked her up and down and said,

Something is missing.

Just one more thing would make it perfect.

“Sister, after the performance, try moving all your hair to the left side.”

“Huh? Like this?”

“Yes, exactly. Then your neck will be exposed, and people will like it even more, right?”

“Oh, really? What do you think, PD?”

Seeing the sweat on Baek Su-jin’s neck, PD Kim clapped.

“This will make everyone swoon. The finish is perfect.”

He laughed helplessly and said,

“I can’t handle this. I don’t even know who the PD is anymore. Can Yun-seong just take charge of developing Su-jin?”

“Hey, what are you saying? I just gave a few pieces of feedback.”

“I’m not joking. I didn’t know Su-jin had such talent. I watched her for months, but you figured it out in one go!”

This isn’t PD Kim’s fault.

Baek Su-jin just didn’t reveal her talent.

Due to her innocent and pure image, people only saw her surface and framed her, causing her to deny her own sexiness.

If it weren’t for the aura, I wouldn’t have known about her hidden talent either.

“So, Yun-seong.”

Suddenly, this hyung’s eyes became earnest.

“Can you come here often? For our girl group debut and for Su-jin, I want to get various feedback from you.”

“Whoa. You’re not going to pay me...?”

“Of course not. Plus, your dad is the CEO of this agency. I’ll talk to him. You’ll get a good salary.”

It was a joke.

I’m still a middle school student; I can’t work here for a salary.

But using this as an excuse to get more pocket money might not be bad.

* * *

On the way home from the company.

Yun-a has been unusually gloomy since earlier.

She looked quite shocked when Su-jin danced sexily, and now she seems completely down.

“Yun-a.”

“...”

“Jeong Yun-a.”

“Huh? Oh, yeah.”

“What are you thinking so deeply? Are you feeling unwell? Or...”

I asked her seriously, worried about Yun-a.

“Did you lose a lot in the game again?”

“No!”

Yun-a huffed and walked ahead.

I tried to cheer her up.

“Hey, I was just joking. Are you mad?”

“Hmph.”

Yun-a turned her head, looking envious.

“Su-jin was really pretty just now. Maybe I should change my style too?”

“What?”

“Yeah. What do you think? Not right away, but after I grow up and become an adult like Su-jin.”

Yun-a.

When you grow up and try a sexy concept like Su-jin, it will be incredible.

In my previous life, Jeong Yun-a sang in a sexy concept, and I still remember how she looked.

However,

‘Yun-a going for a sexy concept...’

Wearing a tight white T-shirt and subtly revealing her skin in a sensual way...

“No way!!”

“Huh?”

“Don’t even think about it!”

The thought of Yun-a showing a sexy side like Su-jin made me shudder.

I don’t want anyone to see my little sister like that.

‘Is this how fathers feel?’

I understood a bit why fathers with daughters don’t allow them to wear short skirts.

“Yun-a, you’re already beautiful as you are.”

“Really?”

“Of course. Everyone has different charms. The sexy style suits Su-jin.”

Of course, you’re beautiful no matter what, but you don’t need to go for a sexy concept.

Your aura is very different from Baek Su-jin’s.

Of course, I don’t like it either.

“Really?”

“Yes. You’re already beautiful as you are.”

“More than Su-jin?”

“Of course.”

Obviously, my little sister is the best.

“Haha.”

Yun-a seemed to cheer up.

“I thought you looked cool just now.”

“Huh? Suddenly?”

“Yeah. Even PD acknowledged your talent. Su-jin follows your advice completely. Isn’t it cool to see someone do their job well?”

“Haha. Is that so?”

This is embarrassing.

“And I was a bit envious. Seeing you teach and guide Su-jin so earnestly.”

“...But I teach you every day, don’t I?”

Yun-a scowled.

“Ugh. Don’t even mention studying. I feel like throwing up. At those moments, you look like a demon.”

Indeed, I’m not good at teaching, so it’s not enjoyable for me either.

How about trying a different field?

For example—

“Yun-a.”

“Yeah?”

“Do you want to try learning music?”
