(Two weeks later…)

Caleb, Maeve and Paul had their chests heaving up and down in the rehearsal space, awaiting their next instructions from Kyle.

At first they had thought he had been joking about having them sing a song he wrote but right now, they were very much singing that song.

A high-energy rock song that had a raw, futuristic yet gritty, forceful garage rock feel to it.

It was the kind of song one would make in their rebellious emo teenage years for sothing like the battle of the bands if they were cool enough.

And yet, without really knowing why Kyle was making this song, or even having them sing it instead of him, they waited patiently for he and Jennie whom were conversing from the other side of the studio to speak.

Nodding in approval to his words, Jennie turned around to face the session musicians in the rehearsal space as Kyle, similarly turned around and spoke;

"Alright guys, so we're almost done but you're gonna have to take that second half of the first verse again."

"Your vocals and energy while singing that part needs to be a bit more forceful to perfectly contrast against the lyrical thes of self-doubt in it." Kyle added with pinpoint instructions, after which he then asked;

"Think you can do that?"

"Yeah. We can." Caleb answered on behalf of Maeve and Paul who nodded in agreent.

"Good." the young star nodded to which he then began a countdown;

"Now in 3, 2, 1. Go!"

Instantly, Caleb began the distorted, bold yet powerful and fuzzy guitar riff while Maeve's basslines, thick and grounded, pulsated in sync with Paul who energetically hit the drums!

! 🎸 🎵 🎸 🎶 🥁 !

But I'm falling, back again!

Back to my fears again!

Back where I should've been!

I'm fighting a losing battle!

And again!

This city never sleeps!

Everything's buzzing and!

Sounds like nothing's working!

! 🎸 🎵 🎸 🎶 🥁 !

"Perfect!" Kyle clapped in energetic, child-like excitent, much to the session musician's relief.

"Once I comp everything together, you can have it sent to the studio." Jennie said to Kyle as she imdiately got to work.

"Thanks Jennie." the young man gave her an appreciative smile.

Having already giving her the rundown of what he was using the song for, Jennie had been visibly excited…

Not because she was a [Tech Wiz] or a videoga fan, but because she was the first amongst Kyle's fan group to know this extra information about their favorite Hollywood star having a Videoga Studio.

'Suddenly I feel omnipotent…' the lady inwardly joked, a headset on her head as she kept rging all the various takes Caleb, Maeve and Paul had taken to have the song made.

Comping and auto-tune was sothing Kyle avoided like the plague when he produced his songs since he always wanted to sound just as good whenever he perford live.

But, considering the session musicians weren't exactly singers, comping and auto-tune was sothing that was required quite a bit to be used to make the song sound exactly the way Kyle had imagined it.

And so, waiting for about an hour while they lounged around the studio for the song to be put together, Kyle, although joined in on Caleb, Maeve and Paul's convo, was also thinking about sothing else.

The fourth song in the album.

It was also the song he wanted to make into a sort of dance music…

One that could imdiately have a person, get right off their chair and jamming.

However, an hour of musing didn't really provide him much to work with and a few minutes later, Jennie whom was done doing her part, gave the completed song to Kyle in a flash drive.

Imdiately, Kyle put his thoughts on the backburner and then inford the session musicians that he wanted to take them sowhere.

Not minding the offer, especially since all three figured it had sothing to do with the song Kyle had just made with them, they willingly jumped on-board.

And the mont they got to the Ga Studio and realized what he wanted to use it for, the shocks on their faces were quite the sight to behold.

In fact, even Carlos, Dahlia and the other employees of the Studio whom had known that Kyle felt the opening scene still needed sothing more to really make it the perfect intro to a superhero videoga and most especially, [Tech Wiz] as a character, were just as amazed by how much further the opening scene was elevated.

Considering they had felt his created soundtracks had already elevated the ga in a way only a videoga's soundtrack could, this extra addition to it, made it subli.

As Owen, whom had been at the Studio previously to get the daily report on how things were going, glanced over to his right where Kyle himself stood, an ecstatic grin on his handso features as he kept gazing at the giant Oled TV while bopping his head, he couldn't help but inwardly comnt;

'Definitely a music wizard…'

As for Carlos and Dahlia, both of whom were watching the scene alongside their other colleagues, a single thought was running through their collective minds;

'Ga's Con, here we co!'

"Kyle. You're not planning to sleep at the studio again, are you?" Owen asked as he was about to exit the recording studio.

"Ye-"

"Is that so?" Oliver whom was seated on the couch, casually cut his ward off by asking, one to which Kyle swiftly averted his gaze like a rabbit caught in a snare trap.

Although Oliver had coolly questioned him, the young star knew right there and then that he'd get another earful he affird his assistant's seemingly innocent question.

Considering everyone else had gone ho for the night, Jennie included, Owen just wanted to ensure Kyle didn't pull the sa stunt he pulled a few weeks back when he was making his Lead Single…

Even if that ant he'd snitch on him to Oliver.

Kyle who seed to have realized what his assistant was up to, scowled at the young man who simply chuckled deviously before he then left the Studio.

Sighing to himself though, mostly grateful that he had an assistant who had his best interests at heart, Kyle then leaned onto his chair, pondering about his fourth song again.

'A dance music huh…'

Considering for dance music, lyrical verses didn't really matter and only catchy, head-banging beats did, Kyle was in a bit of pickle.

Honestly, the young man didn't want to make sothing similar to what almost every other popular musician, typically did for their dance music.

And typical, trendy, soulless dance music for him, was also, not it.

Sure he understood that no one would judge him for it even if he made his like that too, since, essentially, catchy beats was after all, what made dance music tick…

But still…

It just didn't sit right with Kyle, one, tiny, bit.

Especially with the kind of standards he held himself to.

As usual, his goal was to make sothing he'd be proud to say that he himself, did.

'I'm gonna be stuck here for a while…' Kyle inwardly sighed this ti, his gaze focused on the fluorescent, bulb-fitted ceiling of the recording studio.

Just like that, a few seconds turned to a minute…

Minutes soon turned to an hour…

And yet, Kyle didn't have a single spark of inspiration, the only thing keeping him company being the sound of Oliver's fingers, tapping his smartphone's screen in response to Tiana's ssage.

In between their texting though, Oliver would occasionally laugh to a few video reels Tiana would send, one that the agent would sotis also have Kyle watch.

Considering he had nothing better to do, he'd also oblige and have a good laugh.

The sa thing was happening now as Oliver called out to him;

"Kyle. This one's really funny. Co see."

Leaning over, Kyle stared at the phone's screen, watching as a bored guy on a Broadway stage, whom was supposed to be a tree in the background, started sneaking in breakdance moves when he thought no one was watching him.

Honestly, the contrast of a tree, executing a waving pop and lock when everyone else was in a choreographed musical, was quite the amusing sight to see and it did not fail to get Kyle laughing a few seconds later.

And just like that, mid laughter, Kyle suddenly felt his lightbulb switch on as he soon stopped laughing and began to mutter to himself;

"Oh? Yes… yes… that might…"

"Yes, that should work!" he imdiately sprung off his chair, startling Oliver whom was used to his talent's occasional bursts of inspirations.

However, before his agent could ask what sort of idea he had stumbled upon this ti, Kyle imdiately spoke, extending his arms out like he was about to read poetry;

"I'm gonna make a dance music, Oliver."

"Straight outta broadway!" he declared with clenched fists, his sapphire irises twinkling with excitent!

(Three days later…)

Kyle's fan group had been less active in recent mory, obviously because Kyle had gone radio silent like he usually did whenever he didn't have a project he was involved in or working on.

Asides from the Gala Incident three months ago and also his brief appearance in a TicToccer's video last month, they really had no idea as to his whereabouts or what he was up to.

As a result, only a few people on the fan group were comnting as of the mont.

-

Kyle's Girlfriend: Has anyone seen my boyfriend? He's 6ft tall, speaks more than three languages, exceptionally handso, charming, a great singer, a brilliant actor, and a bundle of all things good wrapped into a perfect cinnamon roll.

And that's not all. Kyle also just announced on all his social dia handles that he will be releasing his very first album co April next year.

-

Always the first to find out information like this as usual, The Impostor, once again, nonchalantly and casually, dropped a nuclear bomb into the group.

Instantly, the fan group got turned upside down like a rollercoaster, the ssages exploding in numbers as every previously sleeping dweller of the group, rose from their slumber!
