[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 58: Like A Team

Chapter 58: Like A Team

This time, it was Pei Roujin who spoke first. "You really look like students this time. Seeing your uniforms made me think about the past memories from my teenage years."

Lin Yu grins. "I agree to that. Especially Classmate He, you look like a good student on the first pace of the song."

Their comments made the atmosphere light and warm so it eases the anxiety of the team. Yet, what about Xu Xinyi later? Ahh.. just thinking about it makes them bald!

"By the way, who initiates changing the concept of the song?" Pei Roujin asks.

The team looks at each other until a hand from an unsuspicious person raises up. The young man’s face was red due to nervousness. "I-I am, Instructor."

Seeing this, a flash of surprise appears on everyone’s face and they seem to see this young man in a different sight. It’s actually an unfamiliar trainee. What was even more intriguing was that from what they knew, He Yan’s team almost consists of members from E and F classes. No matter which of the two, they are both the class who are far from what they have. It’s understandable if it’s He Yan or Xing Ren who’s in Class A... but it actually came from this person?

Some of those who knew him were really surprised. This young man is from E Class. He was actually the initiator? They actually didn’t think of him as an attractive person so they almost forgot his performance earlier, but knowing that this is his own idea, it seems that this young man is not as easy as it seems to be?

Obviously Pei Roujin also thought so. "Why do you think about changing the usual concept? We thought you’d also take this song like the other team." He directly asks.

This young man named Liang Jin appears to be nervous but his teammates pat his shoulder as a comfort so he took a deep breath before answering. "I-It was because I thought we have to take a different approach to this challenge." Liang Jin stammered with nervousness. Even though he’s answering, his hands were really trembling because he could feel everyone’s eyes on him. This is the first time he had been in the spotlight after such a time in this competition.

He knew that this was also a breakthrough for the audience outside to notice him but he’s really nervous and scared at the same time. He’s nervous for their eyes and he’s scared that he might screw up and humiliate their team, especially their captain He Yan.

He never wanted them to disappoint, so even with his agitated feelings, he forced himself to continue speaking.

"Uhm... t-the individual evaluation last time was also like this, right? W-We... uhm.. We performed differently so I thought we could do like this too as a team."

"Then do you think you succeed? The song is about a secret love of an angel towards someone. How would you connect this to your concept?" Pei Roujin’s continuous question made Liang Jin break out in a cold sweat. Having been used to being unnoticed, he was caught off guard by this sudden attention.

And it’s not just the mentors but everyone here inside the stadium seems to be looking at him. Liang Jin could feel his heart beating loudly as if it wanted to escape from this social attack.

Fortunately before he could feel as if dying, he was patted by He Yan again on his shoulder. Liang Jin looked at the bright young man like a glowing sun beside him, stunned.

"You can say freely, Brother Jin. You worked hard for this so let the people know you’re capable." He Yan encouragingly said. Liang Jin was stunned even more and looked blankly at him.

Actually back in that time, he was filled with fear everyday. He was restless to say his thoughts to the team but his lack of courage forced him to shut up. The fear of rejection and abandonment truly put shackles on his heart. Fortunately, Xing Ren suggested a meeting and they were given a chance to speak up their ideas. And seeing the other teammates speak, Liang Jin found his courage to speak too. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

And unexpectedly, his idea was approved by everyone and since then, they rack their brains out thinking about the changes of concept.

Now, feeling his group’s affirmation and looking at the blonde curly hair of his team captain that appears to be glowing again like a sun, Liang Jin feels like he was injected with a mysterious courage and he finally speaks.

"Yes, Instructor." Liang Jin firmly looks at the mentors with determination. He can do this. Since he was affirmed by the whole group and was trusted, he had to fight it too!

"I-I think changing concepts like this is a big risk to do so, but we decided to take this chance to prove that we’re not just idols but musicians. Secret Love is indeed about an angel falling for a human, but I think the love that it feels is still the same as what we humans feel towards others. Even if we’re not in the same race, the unrequited love that we felt is the same. Angles are unfortunate for not being able to directly express himself so as a human who has the chance, I think that’s enough reason for a person to at least let the person he loves feel his warmth." He explains with serious intention.

The whole stadium fell silent and they were all listening to Liang Jin’s words.

"Our team wants to express a pure love from a person even if it’s only hidden. Even if that love will be forever unnoticed, the purity in the heart will be the best feeling that we could express to." Liang Jin feels as if the thorn in his throat disappears. The burden on his shoulder was lifted up after expressing himself.

This is the first time for him to speak and he didn’t even dare to dream about this. Since coming from the audition and seeing many trainees were much better than him, he actually never considered himself anymore to debut. He saw so many outstanding ones that someone like him will never be included in the spotlight.

He was ready to say goodbye without probably even performing live on stage in front of the fans.

It’s just he didn’t expect that this time... he has finally been given a chance, even just for these seconds.

Liang Jin took a deep breath and looked at his teammates who’s watching him. Seeing their eyes were bright and proud, his heart was filled with happiness.

Whatever might happen, he knew that they’ll still be with him. Like a real team.
