As soon as I started singing, I ignored everything around me and focused solely on the song's lyrics, which were as clear in my mind as freshly cleaned glass. I sang without making a single mistake, keeping the rhythm perfectly.

Minutes later, I finished singing the entire song.

I wasn't even out of breath, despite giving it my all.

Then…

Clap~~

I heard applause behind me. It was my mother and father, clapping for me.

"Kyo, that was incredible! I didn't know you could sing that well! Actually, I didn't even know you were going to sing this song! Is this the song you composed?"

I smiled, feeling a little embarrassed, and answered, "Yeah, it's the song I composed. But I still need to process my vocals and do the mixing."

"Process your vocals???? But your voice was perfect, son!" My mother said excitedly. "I have the most talented son in the world, my God! Robert, did you hear that? That's the song our son composed! Did you hear his voice? Isn't it amazing?"

"You're exaggerating, Haruka."

"Exaggerating? You just heard your son sing better than an idol, and you think I'm exaggerating? What do you think would happen if your son sang in public, huh?"

"Everyone would be impressed?"

"Of course they would! Everyone would think he's a famous singer."

"Mom, please, that's enough already." I said to her.

"Alright, alright, I'll calm down. You don't really like being praised like this, do you? I'll let you finish your work. Come on, Robert, let's leave your son to finish producing his song."

"Sure."

Soon after, they left my room.

'Since when does my mother like music this much? She wasn't this excited when I got the role in "A Piece of My Heart"... Does she want me to become a singer instead?'

Well, either way, I'm going to become a singer in the future too.

To become the biggest star in the world, I need to do everything related to the entertainment industry!

Pov: Third Person

Home alone, Ayane Shibata was in her room watching a show on her phone. Lying on her bed and nervously moving her feet, she suddenly started hearing someone singing.

"Hm?" She removed the earbud from her right ear so she could listen better. The voice was coming from the other side of the wall, the voice of a boy. A powerful yet melodic voice that sent chills through her body.

Ayane knew that voice well.

She had never spoken to him because she was too shy, but she knew Kyo Evans, her neighbor.

Ayane had moved into the apartment next door almost two years ago and lived alone, and of course, she knew Kyo was a celebrity. She wasn't a novel reader, but she had followed Kyo's work as a model (even if it had only been one job), and she was very excited to watch "A Piece of My Heart."

But actually, Kyo had caught her attention even before she found out he was a model and actor.

He was incredibly handsome. Ayane's heart had almost exploded when she accidentally ran into him. Kyo greeted her, but she couldn't say anything. Kyo probably didn't even remember her face despite them being neighbors.

"I didn't know he could sing. And this voice… Isn't it amazing?" Ayane's heart began racing.

Ayane was someone who loved listening to music and had also been to many concerts.

She had never heard a voice like this live before.

No singer had such a beautiful voice.

"This can't be real..." Shocked, she pressed her ear against the wall and started recording.

Kyo's singing lasted for several minutes. When he stopped singing, Ayane heard applause.

She immediately stopped recording and sent the audio to her friend.

[Hey, hey, listen to this! You know Kyo Evans, right? You know he's my neighbor, don't you? Did you know he could sing? Listen to this voice!!!!! IT'S AMAZING!!!!]

A few minutes later, her friend replied.

[Wait, is that really him singing? What kind of incredible voice is that?]

[I'm still in shock. Thank God I chose to move into this apartment!!! I'm so happy!!!!]

Ayane's friend saw the message and replied.

[WWWWWWW You got super lucky. But I want to know why he still lives in a place like that. Isn't he an insanely popular author? My brother is a fan of his. Actually, he wants you to get an autograph for him. He's your neighbor, right? It should be easy.]

[Impossible! I can't even stand in front of him without getting nervous. You know where I live, so come ask for the autograph yourself.]

[Are you crazy? Imagine showing up at his door asking for an autograph? Impossible!]

Reading her friend's message, Ayane sighed and typed.

[I feel the same way. But if I happen to run into him, I'll try to get the autograph. He spends most of his time at home.]

Besides, Ayane left home very early, before Kyo even went to school.

And she arrived home before Kyo came back from school.

They rarely saw each other.

After saying goodbye to her friend, Ayane went back to watching her show as if nothing had happened. However, little did she know that the audio she had sent to her friend had already started spreading through her group of friends.

And then the audio spread to other groups.

And soon, it was uploaded to YouTube.

Without meaning to, and completely innocently, Ayane had leaked an extremely important song for Kyo and also for Aoi Hoshino.

Kyo, who had already started mixing his version of "Idol," went to sleep without having any idea what was happening.

When he woke up the next day, a new bomb had been dropped on the media.

When Kyo read the messages from Rina and Miu, he said:

"I don't get a single minute of peace."
