"Why?"
"Do you think I am not handsome enough to participate?"
"Young Master Rei, it's.."
"I don't mean that"
The Selection coordinator bows his head with respect and fear. He hesitates to respond to him.
"No.. That;s not what i mean"
"Tell them to take their Screening tests, don't let anyone say my father's company is discriminating people based on their gender or else"
"Yes.. Young Master, please don't worry" he tries to wipe his sweat as he responds to him.
The selection coordinator soon goes inside and informs the panelists and starts the auditions for the Beta's.
The man then returns back to his seat as if nothing has happened.
Ren and the other person also observed this scene from afar.
"He is surely an Alpha"
Ren remarks at him and the other person shifts his gaze towards Ren.
"I am Alex, Nice to meet you" He shakes hands with Ren with a warm smile.
He surely has a great smile, Ren admires Alex's smile.
They both get back to their seats and the selection process soon continues..
Ren looked a bit tense and Alex tried to distract him.
"Is this your first Audition?"
"Yes and yours?"
"I don't even remember anymore, but don't worry it will be fine"
His words made him relaxed but suddenly someone called Ren's name and he went up with a faint smile as he looked at Alex before he entered the Audition room.
As soon as he entered the room, the panelists were shocked to see Ren among the beta selection.
They were enchanted by his charm, his beautiful eyes and pale face made the panelists irresistible to admire him as his good physique made him look like an Handsome Alpha.
"Are you sure you are a Beta?" One of the panelists asked him in a shocking tone.
"Yes.." he replied hesitantly
"Can we know who your parents are?"
"Yes, my father is a Beta and my mother is an Omega"
"Your father actually married an Omega" one of the panelists got shocked and laughed.
Ren's face turns pale as they mock his family but he keeps his calm.
"So, that's the reason then you were so charming even after being a Beta" another panelist responded.
"It's okay, I can't let this opportunity slip away" He tries to hide his emotions with a smile.
Ren nods in acceptance as he tries to conceal his emotions, although he still feels humiliated by the judges.
After giving his audition, he came out still feeling tense about the results and just then he saw Alex.
Alex smiled towards him with a warm smile, making all his worries go away.
"How come a person who has failed so many times still been so calm and i am all tensed up, maybe i should calm down too" Ren thought to himself and sat beside Alex.
Little did he know that the person sitting beside him is even more tense as he has been tired of the constant struggle to become a famous Idol.
Leo looks up to Ren and feels a turmoil of emotions inside him as he smiles towards Alex.
"Why is he smiling towards that Beta?"
"Did they feel a connection?"
"Wait? Why am I thinking about him again?"
Leo couldn't keep his calm thinking about Ren.
Alex bites his lips feeling tense while his hands behind his back are pinching his skin to control his nervousness.
Even after all these emotions, he still pulled a smile to cover his emotions and entered the audition room.
After some time, a person with a list came out to announce the results.
Everyone is eagerly waiting for the results to come out. They all want to know who will have the chance to become an Idol and pursue their dreams.
Many Hearts are skipping beats and some are running faster which made the atmosphere in the Audition Hall Heavy and intense.
As they are waiting for the results, suddenly one person comes before him from the Selection Team.
"Candidates, we will now display the Top 100 participants who got qualified for the next Round"
Everyone's heart became a race horse which eagerly waited to see their names on the display.
A list of 10 names have been displayed on a big screen attached on the wall and their names are announced on the speaker by the coordinator.
After almost 80 names Ren could finally hear his name on the display and his heart finally calmed down as soon as he heard his name on the speaker.
His face lit up with joy and a bright smile emerged on his face.
Leo, who has already been selected, is watching Ren from afar and a smile lits up on his face after seeing Ren smile.
But just then Ren realized his new friend's name was still not called upon as soon as he turned towards him.
After all this time, this is when he could see a sense of tension on Alex's face.
Alex couldn't hide it anymore, his face is telling it all.
And as Ren was watching his face, suddenly Alex's eyes looked shocked.
Ren couldn't understand what had happened, he thought he was not selected until he saw Alex's name on the display himself.
He smiled and cheered for him and Alex looked surprised himself.
Even though it's just a first round, he couldn't process the thought of his selection as this is the first time he made it to the next round.
"I made it.., I made it.." Alex's voice trembled as he spoke.
Tears rolled in his eyes as he was one step closer to his dream.
Many others also stood in their places to see that they are one step closer to their dreams.
They all were elated and glad to get this opportunity and some even more excited that they shouted in joy.
Alex hugged Ren in excitement and tears started to roll from his eyes as he realized this was real.
"I finally made it" he whispered in Ren's ears and pulled him away to look him in the eyes to say it once again.
"I finally made it"
"Wait, why is he hugging him?"
"Can't he celebrate it with just a handshake?"
Leo is fumed with jealousy as he sees Ren and Alex hugging each other.
This time others also observed them and Rei was one among them. His eyes looked at Alex as he screamed his joy out loud.
"His smile is actually good"
A smile arose on his lips as he looked towards Alex.
