Reborn as a K-Pop Trainee with a System
Chapter 3: Team Battle from Hell!
---
Previously on Joon's Miserable New Life:
Accidentally went viral for Bollywood SRK pose during training.
Got thrown into K-pop survival show 'Idol Wars.'
Barely survived Round 1 by unintentionally doing a comedy dance.
Somehow gained fans and caught the attention of top trainee, Minho.
And now?
He's about to get stuck in the worst team possible.

"Why Do I Feel Like I'm Being Set Up?"
Joon stood in the practice room, staring at the giant screen displaying the next challenge:
[ROUND 2: TEAM BATTLE]
[Trainees must form groups and perform as a unit. The worst-ranked team will be eliminated!]
"Team performance?" Joon muttered. "Acha hai! At least now I can hide behind better dancers." (That's good! I can hide behind better dancers.)
But just as he was about to join a strong team, the host announced—
"Trainees will be randomly assigned teams! No choosing allowed!"
Joon: "…MERI TOH LAG GAYI." (I'm screwed.)
The screen shuffled names. One by one, teams were announced. When Joon's name popped up, he turned pale.
[TEAM 7: The Ultimate Disasters]
Lee Joon – A viral meme with zero dance skills.
Park Jaesoo – A shy trainee with stage fright.
Kim Bora – A rapper who can't sing.
Han Yuri – A dancer who refuses to follow choreography.
Choi Minho – Wait… Minho?! THE top trainee?!
Joon's brain short-circuited. "MINHO IS ON MY TEAM?!"
Minho raised an eyebrow. "You don't seem happy about that."
Joon forced a smile. "Happy? Bhai, main toh emotional ho gaya!" (Bro, I'm so emotional!) "It's an honor, sir!"
Internally: "System, mujhe revive karke Hollywood wapas bhej do." (System, revive me and send me back to Hollywood.)
The host grinned. "Team 7, your song is… 'Love Shot' by EXO!'"
Joon choked. "WAIT, WHAT?!"
That was a sexy, smooth, and complicated performance!
Joon could already imagine himself falling mid-dance and faceplanting on live TV.
He was doomed.

First Team Meeting – Instant Chaos
The moment they entered the practice room, the battle for leadership began.
Yuri tossed her hair. "I should be the leader. I'm the best dancer here."
Bora scoffed. "Dancing isn't everything. I can rap."
Jaesoo mumbled, "C-Can I just stay in the background?"
Joon raised his hand. "I nominate Minho. He's obviously the best one here."
Minho smirked. "Oh? So now you acknowledge my greatness?"
Joon: "Bhai, mujhe bas nikalna hai yahan se." (Bro, I just want to survive.)
Minho nodded. "Fine. As the leader, I'll decide the roles." He pointed at each member.
Minho: Main vocalist and center. (Obviously.)
Yuri: Lead dancer.
Bora: Rapper.
Jaesoo: Sub-vocalist.
Joon: …Backup dancer and mood maker.
Joon blinked. "Mood maker?"
Minho smirked. "Your job is to entertain the audience if we mess up."
Joon: "…So basically, I'm the comedy relief?"
Minho: "Yes."
Joon sighed. "Kam se kam mujhe gaana toh milta." (At least give me a singing part.)
Minho crossed his arms. "Fine. You can sing two lines in the second verse."
Joon: "Bhai, mere toh dreams poore ho gaye." (Bro, my dreams have come true.)

Training Begins – Joon vs. Choreography
The next morning, training officially started.
Step 1: Learn the dance.
Joon took one step.
…And tripped over his own feet.
Minho facepalmed. "How are you this bad? You were an actor, right?"
Joon groaned. "Bhai, acting aur dancing alag cheezein hain!" (Bro, acting and dancing are different things!)
Yuri snorted. "I don't get why you're even here."
Joon gritted his teeth. He had survived the film industry—he wouldn't lose to some arrogant trainees!
System beeped.
[Ding! New Mission: Successfully Perform the 'Love Shot' Choreography!]
[Reward: +2 Dance Skill, 5000 Fame Points]
Joon's eyes lit up. "System, ab toh jeetna padega." (System, I have to win now.)

Joon's Hardcore Training Montage (Bollywood Style)
For the next three days, Joon trained like a madman.
Tried to copy Minho's smooth moves → Looked like a malfunctioning robot.
Practiced sexy expressions in the mirror → Ended up looking constipated.
Tried to add Bollywood flair → Accidentally did a Shahid Kapoor step.
Minho watched, amused. "Are you…doing a Bollywood dance?"
Joon grinned. "Thoda filmy touch toh zaroori hai." (A little filmy touch is necessary.)
Minho shook his head. "You're ridiculous."
But by Day 5…
Joon actually improved.
His steps were still chaotic, but now they looked intentional. Like a mix of cool and comedic energy.
Minho raised an eyebrow. "This… might actually work."
Joon smirked. "Bhai, main toh paida hi talented hua tha." (Bro, I was born talented.)

Performance Night – Disaster or Genius?
The time had come.
The stage lights flashed. Fans screamed. Millions were watching.
Joon's heart pounded. This was it.
The music started.
Minho stepped forward, charismatic as always. Yuri and Bora flawlessly executed the routine.
Then came Joon's turn.
He took a deep breath…
…And added his own flair.
A little extra drama. A little Bollywood swag. A little SRK smirk.
AND THE CROWD LOVED IT.
"He's so unique!"
"Is this a Bollywood-K-pop crossover?!"
"HE'S SO FUNNY AND COOL AT THE SAME TIME!"
Even the judges looked impressed.
As the performance ended, Minho turned to Joon.
"…You actually pulled it off."
Joon smirked. "Bhai, yeh toh bas trailer tha." (Bro, this was just the trailer.)
He had just taken his first step towards becoming a K-pop legend.
