37 Sweeping the music shows

Just as Dohyun about to say, "by the way sunbae, how about..." Minsu closed his mouth immediately and lightly bowed towards them. As both groups stood before each awkwardly without knowing what to do, Minho clearing his throat and asked them, "we never introduce ourselves, right? I'm Lee Minho. This is our maknae Dohyun, this is HaeSeong, this is Minsu and that's our leader..."

All of a sudden, he was interrupted by a voice, "boys, what are you still doing here chatting with the girls? Go to the dressing room immediately and get ready." She looked at the girls with an apologetic expression, "sorry about that. We can catch up later," and left there while thinking, "this is an important moment for them. If anyone will go through a scandal, it won't be good for their career. It's better not to let the connection form, even at the start than cutting it afterward."

A while later, after both of their performance are over, Unlimited stood on the left side of the host, and Snow Girls stood on the right side of him as he announced the results. It wasn't a suspense one for either of them as in all categories, "UNLIMITED" defeated their group and received the weekly award trophy.

After the show was over, both of the groups departed from each other with their managers while Jun was still wondering why that Jiyeon looks so familiar. While they were returning, Hyesun warned them not to interact with the female idols or girls, and Dohyun was just trying to tell her that it wasn't like that, then, all of a sudden, HaeSeong opened his mouth, "say, is it only me that feels that Jiyeon sunbae looks like someone?"

"Ah!" Jun suddenly shouted and took out his mobile while everyone else was wondering what is he doing. As he dialed the number and call someone, "Hello, SeongGi Hyung, it's me, Sungjun. Is Yungja free?" The manager replied, "no, she's actually in a shoot, right now. Is it anything urgent?" Sungjun replied, "no, it's not. I was just wondering about something. Tell her to call me when she's back to her dorm."

Later, at 10 o'clock in the evening, Yungja called him back, "Oppa, our manager said you want to ask me about something. By the way, congratulations on winning the "music bank and other shows. It seems you are sweeping this entire week. Your songs became incredibly popular Oppa. Nayoung unnie keeps on listening to "Always" song like at least 20 times in the past week, you know." As she kept on talking non-sense things without even giving him a chance to reply, Jun interrupted, "Yungja, calm down for a second and take a deep breath, okay?"

"Ah! I'm sorry. I was kinda having these tiring and frustration days... anyway, Oppa, what is it that you want to ask?" as Yungja asked her brother, Jun replied, "it's nothing big. Today, in Music Bank's live performance, I saw someone, who looks a bit similar to Sa Nayoung. I was wondering whether she has a sister named Sa Jiyeon, who is an idol."

"Hmm, I'm not sure about it. She's already tired and asleep. I will ask her tomorrow morning and will text you on WhatsApp, 'kay?" Yungja talked with him for a while before disconnecting the call, although it's mostly her talking and Jun listening with an amused expression on his face.

The next day morning, they went to an MBC television studio for promoting themselves in Music Core, which is the only show that bans lip sync even though it's a pre-recorded performance and everyone in the group has to sing at least one line. After all, according to them, even if they idols, they are considered as singers, not as dancers. And if they just want to dance, the director of the music show once commented that they should be in dance crew instead, not an idol.

What's the use of a singer who isn't even confident of singing live in pre-recorded performance, where there is no audience to judge. That's why not many idol groups promote themselves in this show as if they aren't perfect, they have to perform again and again. It's such a bother.

Not to mention, each one will be given only an hour. If they can't get a perfect performance, the show will either air whatever better one they did and it will give a bad image among the audience or they won't air it at all.

That's why only those who have confidence will promote themselves in this program and that's also what set apart from a mediocre one and a popular idol group.

At the waiting hall, everyone's eyes are on Juj and his group as they thought that Unlimited would win it for sure. Well, it wasn't strange for everyone to think that way after looking at Unlimited's limitless wave as fans call it on social media, which was flooding all the Korea into it. And as everyone expected, Unlimited swept out all the categories and claimed 10,000 points, becoming the winner of the week on Music core.

Nothing changed the next day too, on the Inkigayo music show of SBS. It went exactly as previous shows with Unlimited winning everything. During the shoot of Inkigayo, Jun saw Nayoung sister again but since there are too many people around, they didn't go their way to greet them personally.

Meanwhile, the members of the Galaxy group, even including their leader started becoming jealous. He really regretted the thing he did back then. Not the scandal but stopping his group member. Afterward, even though they typed the same comment on youtube, not only, it didn't do any impact on Unlimited but instead, a lot of fans scolded them back to spout such nonsense.

After winning the Inkigayo, making 6 wins in a row, a complete sweep out in the week, Unlimited returned to their dorm and everyone slept like a pig until Monday afternoon, except Jun who was busy with making lunch and Minsu, who just woke up and was busy with YouTube again. While he was continued to cook, all of a sudden, he heard a notification in his head.

*Ding* Congratulations, you completed Side mission, Cooking practice. You received 100 mission points and 1 cooking talent.

*Ding* New side mission added. Check the Skill panel.

With a smile on his face, he checked out the new side mission

Side mission 6: Practice cooking (continuous)

Description: You now possess enough talent to become a chef. Practice and increase your mastery. Practice for 75 hours.

"Hmm, cooking talent 5 is also not enough. Unless it's 7, it won't become a real skill. I should work hard more. Should I also start drawing? I think I can at least practice an hour daily without any issues." While he was thinking about his future plans, Minsu, who is sitting in the living room and watching YouTube, screamed in excitement, "Hyung, Minho, Dohyun. Come out, quickly."
