I'm Really A Kpop Idol 38 Jun's First Pay

As Jun walked out of the kitchen and saw his expression, which was glowing with happiness, he asked, "what happened, Minsu?" HaeSeong replied, "our Boomerang just crossed 100 million views and our Energetic is at 70 million. Its pace is increasing again. The way it was going, it will sure hit 100 million for sure. I guess because of the effect of our one-week promotions."

As Minho and Dohyun, who came out of their rooms heard it, they quickly came down the stairs and began to give high to each other. Jun also raised two of his hands in the air and high-five them. Dohyun then asked with a wide smile, "say, Hyung. I think our debts might have been cleared by now, right?"

Jun nodded, "just from our physical alb.u.ms alone, which have already been sold more than 350K and still steadily rising. Even after the company cut the costs of our promotions, our accommodations and take their 75% cut and split the remaining equally among us, except you, at the very least, I'm sure everyone here will be debt-free and will get tens of thousands of dollars in their account. Well, if we add earnings from other sources, then, no doubt, we will get rich and I'm sure, after next week's promotions, our song would explode once again."

Hearing it, everyone's mood of happiness of being debt-free immediately crestfallen. Minho slowly said, "promotions, huh. I forgot that there is one more h.e.l.lish week in front of us." Jun clapped once, "c'mon. As long as we get the results, this much amount of pressure is fine. After all, this is just one month. There is more to go. Ah, I need to get back to cooking. After lunch, we'll start practicing," and then, he rushed to the kitchen.

In the evening of October 5th, after practicing the ch.o.r.eography for one last time, Jun went to his room to sleep but since he was just too happy to achieve a 100 million milestone, he opened the youtube and started scrolling the comments while grinning before closing it and going to bed.

The next week was sure a hectic one for them with again 6 times performing continuously. And this time, especially Dohyun made too many mistakes in the pre-recording, and the directors kept on shooting it for 10-15 times before saying okay.

Of course, there's no need to mention that Unlimited swept the charts again and winning all of them while Jun becoming bias or ultimate bias for so many ladies. During this week, aside from "One plus One" Alb.u.m sweeping all over Korea, two important things happened. The first one happened on 9th October.

On the morning, of 9th October, while the rest of the group are sleeping from all the tiredness from the previous days recording, Jun woke up as Hyesun called him. With a sleepy voice, he lifted the call, "h.e.l.lo, Noona." Hyesun replied, "Jun-ah, do you know what day is today?" Jun replied in drowsiness as he sat on the sofa, "huh? Today? Isn't it Friday? I know what you want to say. Don't worry, Noona. I'll make sure there won't be any issues on Music bank if we get selected in top 2."

Hyesun replied with a laugh, "I'm not talking about that. Don't you know that it's been an exact one month since your debut? That means your payroll will arrive at 9 o'clock. Tell the news to everyone." Jun screamed in surprise, "Ah! That's right. How did I forget it? Thanks, noona."

At 8:59, everyone was at separate places staring intently at their mobiles. One minute later, Jun, who was in his room alone saw the message sent by the bank as the money was credited into his account. Looking at the numbers, a wide smile appeared on Jun.

"Your account has been credited with 312,954,225 Won."

Meanwhile, after subtracting the initial debt they have, Minho received 137 million won i.e. 111K dollars, Minsu received 243 million won i.e. 197K dollars, HaeSeong received 182 million won i.e. 147K dollars and only Dohyun didn't receive any message as his debt of 435 million won was still left by 94 million won i.e. 76K dollars, which will eventually disappear by the next month, judging by the current popularity of the song.

As the four of them knew each other's initial debt before the Idol contract, they quickly realized that only Dohyun hasn't received yet because his debt is greater than the pay. Then, after calculating, Minho informed Dohyun that he might only have like 70-80 million won left as debt, which made Dohyun jump on happiness, without getting jealous over the others that they received their salary.

In the rest of the two days of promotions, Music core on Sat.u.r.day and Inkigayo on Sunday, both of them went great without any issues. In fact, Inkigayo was the best performance they ever had as they just pre-recorded in a single take. Anyway, Unlimited had a great time in the past week, especially after they got their paychecks.

Monday, 12th October. This isn't just any other day in the Unlimited group's life, especially Dohyun's, who was just dancing in enjoyment with loud music, waking up everyone, who are asleep. Did he go crazy? No, that's no the case. There is a certain reason for it. Actually, there are three.

The first reason is that Always and Burn it up crossed 50 million views and Energetic crossed 100 million views while Boomerang almost reached 150 million and everyone had the confidence that it will reach soon, even though the pace dropped.

The second reason is that the h.e.l.lish two months are finally over for them. Starting from the first week of August to this date, except Jun, who got rest for two weeks, the other four didn't even get to rest as they had to study and write the final exams, right after their debut. And after their exams over, they started with the promotions. So, naturally, a teenager like Dohyun would be very happy about that.

The third and final reason is that they get to have a vacation for an entire week to j.a.pan. The Chairman told them that the agency will be paying 10K dollars for their trip, aside from the plane tickets and hotel booking. Where they want to go and how it is all up to the idols to decide, provided that a cameraman and the unit will follow them to shoot the video, and the manager will follow them obviously to take care of any situation just in case.

In the evening, at Hayle apartments, Jun was holding a fish eye camcorder towards himself and click on record and waved his one hand, "h.e.l.lo everyone, this is Unlimited's Jun. So, this is my first vlog as well as my first travel experience out of the country. j.a.pan, here we come."
