Chapter 368 – Tenmillion Dance Studio (4)
Seo Joo-hwan shook hands and opened Seong Yoo-ra’s status window. It became a habit to check the status window of each person I came in contact with because I didn’t know who might have S-class talent.
He sighed sadly inwardly.
‘As expected, none.’
It was a place where famous dancers gathered, so I was just in case, but I didn’t see any S-class talent. Still, you don’t have to be too disappointed. According to Lucy, there are more people with S-level talent than I thought.
‘I thought it was rare for people to blossom even if they had talent.’
Even if you have the talent to shake the world, if you don’t find your own aptitude, you will only rot under the surface. And even if he was lucky enough to find his aptitude his, it was another matter whether he would bloom his talent his to the limit. Numerous geniuses in the world died without seeing the end of their talents.
Of course, even taking that into consideration, the fact that S-class talent is a rare grade hasn’t changed.
“Then, are we going to be sisters and brothers from now on?”
St. Yura waved her hand and said,
“Yes. I will call you Yura noona. Please speak comfortably, too.”
Seo Joo-hwan also smiled and replied. She was not an S-level talent, nor did she have the talent he wanted, but she was the representative of Ten Million, the largest dance studio in Korea. She’s friendly, so there’s nothing wrong with that.
Seong Yu-ra smiled with satisfaction and said cheerfully.
“OK. Then, to commemorate the handsome younger brother, my older sister shoots dinner. Let’s go, I’ll buy you something expensive and delicious.”
It was Do Yui, not Seo Joo Hwan, who responded to those words.
“Oh, sister! You have to take lessons from me from now on.”
“Yes? What are you talking about? Isn’t today’s lecture over?”
“Yeah, I’m giving private lessons after the lecture.”
“Private lessons?”
Seong Yoo-ra looked at Seo Ju-hwan and Do Yui in turns. Seo Joo-hwan said that he had asked for it, and Do-yoo slightly avoided his gaze at her and bit his lips.
Soon, Seong Yu-ra burst out laughing as if she knew something. She then pinched Toyui’s cheek, she said.
“Ho Ho. Yui, follow me too. Could it be that your sister will leave without you?”
“Ouch. Yikes!”
“Ayu, look at how nice your skin is. After all, are twenties different? I didn’t even wear makeup, but I was pretty.”
“It’s because of it!”
Seong Yoo-ra ignored her struggling Do Yui and looked back at Seo Ju-hwan.
“I’m sorry, Joo-hwan, but can we take a day off from lessons today? There is something I want to talk to you about.”
“Well. Okay.”
Unlike Seo Joo-hwan, who had rejected the women’s proposals so far, he nodded his head indifferently. Apparently, she didn’t seem to be approaching Seong Yu-ra with a rational crush.
‘There must be a reason why they suddenly wanted to become friends.’
I could guess what the reason was. She was well aware that he, too, calls himself a genius within her studio.

Seong Yu-ra took the two of them and headed to a Korean beef omakase house. Even though she pretended to be a shop she was classy as she seemed to be able to come by making a reservation in advance.
Upon entering the entrance of her store, a large man came out and quarreled with Sung Yura. When I heard her speak, she seemed to be the owner of the store.
“Hey, Seongyura. Didn’t you tell me to make a reservation?”
“Ah, since it just opened, there are no customers. I’ll sell a lot today and go.”
“Ugh, this is really true even if you get older… Tsk.”
“Ah, brother! It’s not about age. Is it because we are growing old together?”
“Then pay for your age.”
The owner of the shop showed them to their seats while grumbling.
‘At that time, omakase was popular.’
The food was very tasty. I thought the price was quite expensive, but this is more than enough for my price. Doyui was already dazzled by the expensive beef and was devouring it.
‘I’ll have to come with the kids later.’
It was a private room, so it looked good for a date with an atmosphere.
He looked at Seong Yoo-ra, thinking that he had learned about a good restaurant. He was slowly filling his stomach, so he thought of listening to the story.
“Ugh. Is Joo-hwan quick-witted?”
Seong Yura, noticing her gaze at her, smiled strangely and asked.
Seo Joo-hwan shrugged his shoulders skillfully.
“I do not know? I hear that I have good eyesight, and I also hear that I am dull.”
“Ho Ho. It seems fast to me.”
After saying that, Seong Yu-ra put down her chopsticks as if to begin her story about her. Doyui, who was eating meat frantically next to him, also noticed and quietly put down the tableware.
Sung Yura said.
“Is it true that it has been two weeks since you learned to dance, Joo-hwan? That’s what I heard.”
“This is the first time I learned it properly. Today is the 15th day.”
“Haven’t you done any club activities?”
“Yes. I just danced it a few times at clubs and school festivals.”
“It was really the first thing I learned. But that much in 15 days…….”
Seongyura could not hide her surprise her. As I saw with my own eyes earlier, Seo Joo-hwan showed unrivaled skills among the upper class. It’s a little early, but it didn’t look much inferior to uploading it as a master class right away.
‘I have to catch it.’
If what Seo Joo-hwan said is true, then a truly unsalted genius has appeared. She has been a dancer for nearly 20 years, from her school days until now, but she has never seen her talent, her like Seo Ju-hwan.
Seong Yu-ra took a sip of her water and said in a serious voice.
“Juhwan-ah, won’t you join our crew?”
“Are you Ten Million? I’m still not good enough to run as an instructor.”
Seo Joo-hwan said something that was not even on her mind. In fact, even if he ran as a lecturer right now, he was confident that he would teach better than most instructors if he used his education his (A+/A+) talent and sex teacher. Of course, that is also based on his own skills his, so what he can teach is the intermediate level, and at best, the upper level is the limit.
Saint Yura shook her head.
“No, it’s not Tenmillion, it’s to join the crew I belong to. Tenmillion is an academy and label concept. Skilled instructors each have their own crew.”
“Is it possible to join a different crew while still in a label? Like a hip-hop label and crew?”
“Right, it’s the same concept.”
At first glance, label and crew have so many things in common. However, a closer look revealed that it had a different meaning.
A label is a group with a strong business orientation and can be said to be a kind of entertainment. It is a concept close to a company that pursues profit with the identity of a company.
On the other hand, a crew means a group gathered for the same purpose. It has more of a friendly meaning than a business nature, and there were many cases where it was meaningful to develop each other’s skills.
‘I’m a little attracted to this.’
[I thought you’d be bothered, but I’m surprised. The owner is always busy.]
‘It’s because it’s not a label, it’s a crew.’
One of the biggest differences between a crew and a label is the freedom to join and leave. Unlike labels with strong corporate tendencies, the crew’s purpose was to promote friendship and improve their skills, so there were no strict conditions. Because of this, it was relatively free to join and leave, and there were also cases where a person belonged to several crews at the same time. Of course, each crew has a different personality, so I couldn’t be sure.
At that time, Doyui, who was listening to the story, said with a surprised face.
“Unnie, when did you talk with the crew members? Haven’t I heard anything?”
Yui Do belonged to the same ‘Step’ crew as Yura Sung.
Seong Yu-ra said with an awkward smile.
“I haven’t told the crew members yet…….”
“Yes? Didn’t even talk to me about making a recruitment offer? What do you want to hear later? Unnie, when you proposed to me, you were scolded for not talking properly with the crew members. Do you know how troubled I was then?”
At least, it was at the time she had been taking classes at Ten Million for nearly a year that Doyui was offered to join the crew. It means that she was acquainted with some of the crew members. On the other hand, Seo Joo-hwan has been in Ten Million for 15 days now. When words came out, more came out, it was obvious that they wouldn’t come out less.
Seong Yu-ra shook her head against her thirteen-year-old or her younger brother her at her every word. But now, as she was seeking the consent of each crew member, it was not the time for her to procrastinate. Originally, when an opportunity came, she had to grab it quickly.
Eventually, she decided to force herself.
“Poetry, be noisy, maknae! Are you dissatisfied with the leader saying he wants to recruit some new members?”
“No, it’s not that I’m complaining, I have to tell the crew members in advance…….”
“Oh hey, I’ll figure it out. When Joo-hwan comes in, he’s going to jump around and act fussy.”
“Who, who says he’s running wild?!”
Seong Yu-ra ignored Do Yu-yi, who argued with her reddened face of her, and looked back at Seo Ju-hwan.
“Juhwan-ah, first of all, I’m the leader of our crew, right? I have the right to recruit talented juniors. I’ll arrange it well so there’s no noise, so don’t worry and come in.”
“Haha…….”
When Seo Joo-hwan laughed awkwardly, she said as if Seong Yu-ra was kind to her.
“If you come in now, I’ll give you our cute Yui as a bonus.”
“Who do you like?! And why am I a bonus!”
“Look at this. Is it fun to tease you when you’re bored?”
“This lady, for real!”
This time Sung Yura had a seizure.
“Who is the lady! Are you getting more and more arrogant towards your sister because you keep looking at me?”
“Then pay for the age!”
“I told you not to talk about your age!”
Seo Joo-hwan burst into laughter as he saw the two of them.
“Haha. It’s shit.”

Saying that there was a thing called Seongyu, she went back first.
Seo Joo-hwan and Yui Do took a walk in the park near the studio and sat side by side on a bench. A cool spring breeze blew pleasantly.
Do-yui sat on the bench and wiggled his leg before suddenly calling him.
“Brother.”
“Yes?”
“Do you know what our crew is like?”
“Then. You are so famous.”
Seo Joo-hwan calmly nodded his head. In fact, before he heard the name, he was just going to do it, but when he heard the name ‘Step’, he was surprised inside himself.
‘Cruzi, who is very famous now, but will become even more famous later.’
He had even heard of it before returning, when he had no interest in dancing.
One year later, Step Crew won the overseas program called ‘Global Potential’, and two years later, they imprinted their names on the public in a domestic survival dance program. It was the step crew that promoted the genre of street dance at the forefront.
“Then why did you refuse?”
Doyui asked as if he couldn’t understand.
