I Got Reincarnated As A Prodigal K-POP Superstar

"Hey there… Eunhyuk-hyung." I said as I smiled at him

He then went over to give me a hug. "What are you doing here? How have you been? I still haven't been able to thank you properly for the song that you wrote for us."

It was the most awkward hug I ever had. He's obviously nervous about me being here.

I waved him off. "Ah. No worries about that. I went to grab a drink at the convenience store nearby and I'm heading back to the company now. I didn't know I'd run into you. What a coincidence."

He then went back to IU-sunbae and placed his arm around her. "Are you sure that it was pure coincidence?"

IU-sunbae was not comfortable with this.

This guy…

I faked a smile. "Yeah. Why wouldn't it be? Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy yourselves. I'll be going ahead now."

"Why don't we bring you there? I mean my car's right over there." He pointed at his sports car that was parked nearby. "Are you still riding your company's cars nowadays?"

IU-sunbae knew what he was doing and was telling him to stop. I knew what was going on. Eunhyuk-hyung asked IU-sunbae out but they didn't actually click. That's why he's nervous now that I'm here.

Well… he doesn't have anything to worry about.

Just as I was about to reject him, a red Lamborghini parked in front of us. They were curious to see who it was.

Well, I wasn't.

The driver seat window slowly went down and revealed the person driving.

It was Zee.

"There you are, hyung! I was worried that you took a while so I decided to look for you. Mine's at home so I borrowed yours to look for you. I hope you don't mind borrowing one of your Lambos? Oh hey there hyung! Sunbae!" He said.

"One… of your…" Eunhyuk-hyung's jaw dropped as he tried to get the words out of his mouth.

I smirked. "It's fine. I was getting tired of walking anyway. Move to the passenger's side. I'll drive."

I didn't say anything more to them and just hopped inside my car.

"Who IS he?" Eunhyuk-hyung asked.

IU-sunbae laughed before she whispered under her breath. "You'll beg for his forgiveness if you really knew who he is."

"What was that?" He asked.

"Oh nothing." IU-sunbae replied with a smile.

They both stared at the back of the red Lamborghini as I drove off.

"Wooh! That's a wrap!" I yelled out.

Everyone in the room applauded.

We were finally done with recording our 1st album's Japanese and Chinese version. It took us 3 days but we were finally done.

"Well, we're done. Why don't we head out for barbecue?" Seiji-hyung suggested.

"You guys go ahead. I have to go to my schedule, and I know that you guys have to film, for your drama too." I told them.

They g.r.o.a.n.e.d.

"Right. You've got to go to the Finale tonight." Jiwoo said.

I nodded.

"Are you nervous?" Zhang asked.

"A little bit." I said as I held out my hand and gestured a pinching sign.

They laughed and shook their heads.

Matt-hyung then patted my back. "I can't believe you're popularity's climbing so fast. The next thing we know, you'll probably be having your solo debut."

I shook my head. "Not gonna happen. It's much more fun to do these things with you guys."

Zee raised his brow. "Why not? We don't mind. In fact, it would be great so we could actually catch a break."

I rolled my eyes. "Oh please. You're just looking for another reason to have a long break and enjoy playing video games."

Everybody laughed.

Zee laughed wryly. "Actually… I want to go on longer dates this time."

My mouth went wide in surprise. "A date? With who?"

He scratched the back of his head. "While you were sleeping, Yuna-ya and I kind of happened."

I laughed out of joy before giving him the tightest hug. "It's about time!"

"Hey! Get off!" Zee tried to squirm himself free.

"No!" I hugged him and tackled him to the ground and tickled him.

The rest of the members of Alpha joined in on the fun. The studio was now filled with laughter and grown men wrestling each other on the ground.

JYP PD-nim walked in on us and cleared his throat. We all turn to him and slowly let go of one another.

"Finally… It's about to air." I said.

It was getting stuffy because I was nervous as well.

"I hope you didn't get mad that I eliminated Momo-ssi." JYP PD-nim whispered.

I chuckled. "I'm sure you have better plans for her."

He smiled. "Well, I don't think so. I'm going to make this a 7-member girl group."

I turn to him in surprise. "PD-nim!"

He raised his hand in front of me since people were starting to stare. We were after all on the judge's platform. I was with him to review the results of the previous episodes since I was out for a month.

"I'm out." I told him as I stood up.

"You think I can't take them down?" I told him.

When the bodyguards heard this, they started backing away. They knew what I was capable of.

PD-nim raised his eyebrow. "You think I can't stop you? Remember you are under contract."

"You think threatening me is going to work? Ya! Do you still underestimate me Park Jin Young?" I was slowly getting angry.

He sighed. "Tell me why you want it to be 9 members? We can make do without Momo-ssi and Dahyun-ssi."

"I just hate people who won't push through once we make the deal." I told him with a straight face.

He kept silent for a while, "Fine. Let's have it your way."

I smirked. "See, it wasn't that hard, was it?"

He glared at me. "If this girl group fails, I'm going to ask for your compensation."

"IF this girl group fails, not only will I give you compensation, I'll also quit from Alpha." I told him.

He shook his head. "You don't need to go that far. I-"

"What's this? You need me but you don't even trust me. How can we work together that way JYP PD-nim?" I interjected.

He sighed. "Fine. I'll put my faith in you. Make it work then."

I smiled and sat back down on the guest's chair. The bodyguards also went back to their post.

"Oh right. If you try to change the line up in the last minute. Don't bother coming to the company tomorrow." I threatened him.

"Are you serious right now?" I could tell that he was getting angry.

I glared at him. "You have no idea."

With that, we started the show.

After both teams performed "Do It Again" they were asked to come up on stage to say a short message. It was really a sad and heartbreaking moment for me.

I turned turned to PD-nim. "THIS… THIS is why I didn't want to do this show. You hear me?"

He just ignored me and continued listening to them as if he was concern and sad as well. I scoffed and just focused on the show.

The MC then asked PD-nim to share some comments about the major team and the minor team's performance. Although this was going to be cruel, they actually deem this necessary.

Surprisingly, he gave comments that are actually very complimentary to the contestants. Even while giving them negative comments, he was able to land it with a good compliment which helped in boosting the spirits of the contestants.

It's still quite sad to see their anticipation towards the results. It makes me feel guilty towards them. Sorry guys, but we already know where this is heading.

Then the MC started his spill and he was saying that TWICE would be a 7-member team. I turn to look at PD-nim.

"Relax. I'm going to announce it as a surprise. I promise." He said.

I nodded and patted him.

After the break, the remaining contestants danced to the opening track of the show's track called "I'm Gonna be a Star." Also, there was a surprise comeback of the eliminated contestants as they danced together with everyone else with the track that I made for them.

It was fun to watch. This was something I never got to experience in the previous world. Although I was a producer in the previous world, I never got to go to concerts because I was constantly busy. That's why this was something fresh and new to me.

The MC now started with his spill as to what would happened. There are 7 members in the Major team right now and 5 members in the Minor team. He said that the contestant that would move up to the Major team would be able to debut as TWICE.

Now, he called PD-nim to give a few words and of course, give the final decision as to who was debuting as TWICE. PD-nim gave his short speech as to how he came up with the decision. It was obviously a lie because I came up with the list of the members from the start. He just based it off from there.

There were even times that he would come up to me and say that he understood why I chose these people to debut. There were also times that he questioned my decision. But in the end, I hope he would just trust me on this.

TWICE in the previous world became a hit even as rookies. It was one of the greatest achievements in KPOP history.

Now, I'm witnessing it unfold again in this world.

"Is there anyone else that would move up to Major right now PD-nim?" the MC asked.

PD-nim slowly lifted his mic and said, "There is none."

"There you have it folks! The seven members of TWICE." The MC announced.

The audience were still in shock about the announcement. It was as if it was still not over for them. They must have thought that their biases were not able to push through and it was unfair. The line-up consisted of Jihyo, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Sana, Mina, Dahyun, and Chaeyoung.

Then, PD-nim continued to announce. "But… after a careful deliberation, the seven members of the major team will stay as members of TWICE, but I would like to announce that I would add 2 more members for TWICE."

"There you have it ladies and gentlemen. JYP PD-nim just made it official by saying that TWICE will be a 9-member girl group." The MC excitedly announced.

The crowd erupted in cheers. It was an opportunity for their biases to go and debut and that was the reason for the excitement in the crowd. The crowd soon grew silent in anticipation.

As if on cue, the MC then turned to PD-nim. "Please select the 8th member to go and debut as TWICE."

"It's difficult to ignore the people's opinion. That is why I decided to hear them out and listen to their voice. That is why I'm choosing this next member." He explained.

He then slowly lifted his mic back up. "And that member is Tzuyu."

The cheers from the audience were really loud. It was ear-deafening at that. Even I stood up and started clapping.

"Congratulations Tzuyu for debuting as TWICE!" The MC announced.

The MC then halted the applause. "Let's hear a few words from Tzuyu."

She was still a little bit overwhelmed by the fact that she got picked that she couldn't even start speaking. It was obvious that she was trying her best to hold back her tears.

Finally, she was able to pull herself together and speak up. "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to survive this show. I will continue to work hard."

PD-nim then explained what she thought about Tzuyu and it really encouraged her to do well too.

"Thank you, PD-nim. Now please announce the last member to be part of TWICE." The MC continued.

"This member is someone that the group really needs. Although the way they are now, they are very good in terms of vocals, but they still lack the ability to dance. This person can definitely cover that flaw in terms of choreography and performance." PD-nim explained.

Wow…

He's really good at on the spot reasoning. But it actually made sense.

"The last member to debut as TWICE is… Momo." He finally said it.

And the crowd went wild as soon as the announcement was made. It was really incredible to witness it. They still could not believe that someone who was eliminated went to debut as TWICE.

After Momo gave her speech they were asked to line-up and officially introduce themselves as TWICE.

"Please welcome JYP's new girl group… TWICE!" the MC finally announced.

PD-nim went up on stage and put on their TWICE necklace to signify their official debut and being part of the JYP roster.

Afterwards, they gave short speeches, and then we official made them debut as TWICE. They started hugging one another and even met with their families on stage.

Now this…

THIS is heartwarming.

After the atmosphere cooled down a little the staff asked the members to meet me at the dressing room.

I went ahead towards the dressing room because I still had to go back and start the preparing for their debut song. They also rushed as well because we were going to be very busy from now on.

As soon as they entered the room, Sana immediately ran towards me and gave me hug.

"Hey… Congratulations." I said shyly.

She wasn't letting go yet and just buried her face on my c.h.e.s.t while she cried even more.

"Umm. Sana-chan. You can let go now. You're friends are staring at me weirdly." I told her in Japanese.

They were…

Even SHE was staring daggers at me.

She finally let go and joined the members as they line-up.

"Aren't we supposed to wait for PD-nim?" Nayeon said.

"Oh didn't you guys know?" I asked.

They all turn to me in confused looks.

"I'm your exclusive producer." I told them.

Most of them covered their mouths in shock.

Even Mina began to tear up. "Oh my… No way…"

I nodded. "Yes way."

They squealed and celebrated in excitement.

"So JayB PD-nim, when do we start?" Jihyo asked.

I smiled. "Tomorrow."

And this is how TWICE was born in this world.

And this was how I became closer to HER...
