Chapter 903: Hunger Insanity
"Fifty!" Mei exclaimed in happiness as she piped some icing on the last cupcake.
The other cast members looked at the array of cupcakes with proud smiles. It wasn't the prettiest, but they all worked hard on it.
"They're so cruel," Hana sighed. "They really just gave us barely enough ingredients for fifty cupcakes."
"Ramil PD is so smart," Haruki said. "I hate it."
There was a loud growl heard in the kitchen, causing the cast to pause.
"What...was that?" Mimi asked, slightly appalled.
Hana placed her hands over her stomach and pursed her lips. "I told you-I'm really hungry."
"I wish I could eat one of these cupcakes right now," she said, appearing hypnotized by the sweet treats.
The others, too, even June, felt tempted to eat them. The parasites in their stomachs and brains craved the sugary goodness of the vanilla cupcakes. Even Casper, who wasn't fond of sweet things, was compelled to steal one.
Joonie gulped as he looked at the pink icing. Meanwhile, Pablo cried in misery that they couldn't eat their wonderful creations.
Jisung's eyes glazed over, and for a second, it felt like he had lost his mind. Fortunately, June caught him at the right time. He held onto his shoulders just as he was about to pounce on the cupcakes.
"No," June said. "Jisung, don't lose yourself over this."
Jisung pursed his lips as he reached out to the cupcakes. June continued to hold onto him.
"Jisung, look at me!" Casper joined in. "This isn't you!"
However, June also caught the look in Casper's eyes. June's eyebrows shot up in surprise, and he pointed at Casper with his index finger.
"You're losing it, too," he said. "Don't freaking do it."
Casper closed his eyes and massaged the bridge of his nose.
Mei, too, breathed heavily like a zombie who was craving human flesh and blood.
"Hana!" June exclaimed. "Hold onto Mei. She's going to pounce any time!"
However, Hana was also not in the right mind as she stayed rooted in her spot. Fortunately, Mimi was able to hold both of them down before an anomaly happened.
Uno dropped to the ground and started sucking his thumb.
"Is he regressing?" Haruki exclaimed, looking at the white-haired idol with wide eyes. Pablo shook his head. "Everyone is going insane! This is all part of Ramil's plan!"
"Evil genius," Haruki muttered while shaking his head.
June then turned to Joonie, and although it seemed like he really wanted to eat, he was the one who could control himself out of everyone.
June was on the edge of sanity, but he held it in by thinking about one thing.
June straightened his shoulders as he continued carefully placing the cupcakes into the
fridge.
"Does it seem that way?" June chuckled.
"Yes," Haruki said. "Even back then, it seems like you had a lot on your shoulder."
June pursed his lips and placed the last box inside before shutting it close.
"I guess," June said, leaning his elbows against the counter.
"Problems," he continued. "I think I used to have a lot of problems and burdens on my
shoulders. That's why I didn't have as much confidence. I was a pushover, and I did what I was
told to because it was the safe choice."
"However, now, my shoulders are heavy for a different reason," he said.
Haruki frowned. "Why is that?" he asked.
"My shoulders are heavy with the people I care for."
"It's not my problems anymore-but them."
EVE.
The friends he made along the way.
The people who helped him get to the top.
Minjun.
Grandma.
"But isn't that great?" June asked, smiling at Haruki.
Haruki's breath got caught in the back of his throat. He always thought that June was
amazing, but he was really on a whole other level.
"Because of them, I'm stronger than ever."
"I feel like I can destroy all the problems in the world because I have them with me."
"But you're carrying them," Haruki said.
June smiled.
"And I know they'll carry me when the time comes that I can't walk anymore."
