Chapter 17: Glam Before the Slam
---
Their haunted house adventure was behind them—barely—and yet Raiko and Noona were no closer to success. Despite Yu-Riella's endless generosity, cooking lessons, and business tips, their merchant days were a series of disasters. Raiko's product pitch voice sounded like a demonic chant, and Noona scared off most customers with her resting death glare.
One quiet morning at the breakfast table in Yu-Riella's warm kitchen, Noona stared into a bowl of porridge like it held all the answers.
> "We suck," she muttered.
Raiko, munching toast upside-down like a gremlin, nodded. "Hard."
Yu-Riella, ever patient, let out a long, exhausted sigh before slapping a colorful paper on the table. "Then maybe it's time to pivot."
The paper read: "NEXSTAR BOYBAND AUDITIONS – We Want Your Charisma!"
Raiko choked on his toast.
Noona blinked. "That's today's newspaper?"
"I've been saving it," Yu-Riella said. "Raiko, you're cute—if you just fixed your hair and stopped looking like you were raised by goblins."
"EXCUSE ME?! I'm METAL. I don't do eyeliner and synchronized dancing!"
Noona raised an eyebrow. "You once turned down a stable government job because the uniform had pink flowers on the sleeves."
"It was cursed!"
"No, it was embroidered."
Yu-Riella stifled a laugh.
Noona leaned in, deadly serious. "You don't get to whine about being broke when you won't even try. What's more 'unmetal'? Starving? Or adjusting your shampoo?"
Raiko folded his arms. "Fine. But I'm not giving up my soul. Just my look."

🎵 Idol Bootcamp Begins
So began… the Raiko Makeover Project.
Yu-Riella brought out every serum, cream, and tool she owned. Noona summoned her most judgmental gaze.
> "Step one," Noona declared. "We shave the beard."
Raiko screamed.
Step two: Hair straightening with heat magic.
Step three: Concealer for his under-eye circles.
Step four: Lip tint. Pink. Sparkly.
They tied books to his head for posture, slapped his stomach every time he breathed wrong, and forced him to smile in a mirror while Yu-Riella yelled, "YOU LOOK LIKE A CURSED MIMIC! FIX IT!"
By the end, Raiko looked less like a frontman for a death metal band and more like a K-pop backup dancer with a dark secret.
He stared at his reflection. "I look like betrayal."
Noona smiled. "You look like rent money."

🎭 Guild Hall Reactions
While walking through town to pick up supplies, a few guild members spotted Raiko's new look.
> "Was that the riff lunatic?" one whispered.
A thug from their earlier encounter walked past, blinked, then muttered, "Damn... is he hotter now?"
An adventurer sneered, "Nice makeup, princess."
Noona cracked her knuckles, and he ran before she said a word.

🎤 Yu-Riella's Idol Past
That evening, while Raiko practiced smiling again, Yu-Riella revealed her deepest truth.
> "I used to run a fan club. We worshipped the Idol King Nevin Moonflare. I wrote fan fiction about his scandalous glances."
Raiko blinked. "That explains everything."
Noona whispered, "Nevin Moonflare… the one who weaponized high notes?"
Yu-Riella held up a sparkly amulet. "I still wear his limited-edition high-pitch crystal. When he hit C-sharp, it cracked wine glasses and hearts."

🎫 The Idol Temple
As the chapter closed, Raiko, Noona, and Yu-Riella stood outside the towering NexStar audition hall.
The building pulsed with mana-infused lights, shaped like a giant stage mic. Floating music runes glittered in the sky. A choir of bards harmonized near the entrance.
Crowds of hopefuls swarmed around—wannabe idols in flashy capes, synchronized twin elves with matching jawlines, and one man tap-dancing in plate armor.
Raiko glared up at the glowing signage.
> "This place smells like glitter and trauma..."
Noona: "Good. You'll fit in."

Author Notes:
Metalhead. K-pop trainee. Same thing, right?
This was the moment Raiko lost 80% of his dignity but gained 200% in market value. Also, yes, Noona weaponized skincare and threats—like a true wife. Pray for Raiko's beard. It did not survive.
Next stop: glitter trauma.
