Chapter 691 You Are The Main Character
The boys were all silent as they waited for Mr. Ong to speak.
He was still standing—although it wasn't too obvious since he was around the same height as Casper even though Casper was sitting.
Nonetheless, he was still intimidating despite his small presence.
Mr. Ong tapped his pen on the table before slamming it down.
"You had a live without our permission?" he asked in a calm tone—too calmly if you asked the members of EVE.
The members all turned to Jaeyong, who cleared his throat and responded for the team.
"It was just for a short while, sir," he answered. "We wanted to celebrate our new achievements with our fans."
"That didn't seem like a celebration to me," Mr. Ong said. "It almost seems like you were bashing the company."
They now turned to Akira, who shook his head with wide eyes.
"It isn't anything like that," he chuckled awkwardly. "There were just a lot of fans who didn't get a ticket, so—"
"We're not satisfied with the concert venue," June bluntly said, causing his members to turn to him with wide eyes.
"June," Jaeyong nervously muttered while pinching his thigh.
However, June remained nonchalant, even casually leaning against his chair with crossed arms.
"We're practicing very hard for the mini-concert, and we want a lot of fans to be able to see it," June continued.
"The venue you've picked for us is even smaller than that of other newly-debuted groups," he deadpanned.
"I'm not boasting or anything like that—but EVE's popularity had skyrocketed at an immense pace in the last few months."
The other members nodded in agreement, sharing the same sentiment with June.
"I don't know what's going on inside the headquarters, but I believe this is a disrespect to our hard work," June continued, wanting to let all of his emotions out.
"Aren't all of you hungry for money? If so, then you would have booked us a bigger place. Or maybe you're planning on saving money by booking a smaller venue yet pricing the concert tickets unreasonably high?" he asked with raised eyebrows.
"Oh damn," Akira muttered. "That's a burn."
Ren turned to him with a frown. However, his eyes quickly widened when Mr. Ong heavily sat on his swivel chair, making a loud sound.
Mr. Ong gazed at June's eyes, not wanting to back down.
"Managing a group requires a lot of hard work and resources," Mr. Ong started off.
"GIRLS' EVOLUTION had disbanded years ago. BOYMYSTIC is going to have their final concert this week. We're the only ones left in Azure—basically, we're your last moneymakers until the time the girls in the fifth season of Rising Stars debuts. So, why are you struggling so much?" June asked.
The members all turned silent, finally realizing the gravity of the situation.
June didn't know where he gathered his courage, but all he knew was that he was sick of the situation they were in.
Then, I landed on the stars.
So late, yet so soon."
June focused on the lyrics, finding them vague yet touching at the same time.
It was the kind of song that allowed many interpretations.
However, its vagueness also contributed to its emotional the same time.
It was the kind of song that allowed many interpretations.
factor.
June was so focused on the lyrics that he didn't find anything strange in the past two stanzas.
However, as soon as the chorus hit, he realized that something was wrong—very wrong.
"With strangers turned to family,
I found my life's meaning.
And even when darkness comes eventually,
I don't find myself leaving."
"It couldn't be," he muttered.
June continued to watch the video, wanting to prove his assumptions wrong.
However, as the song continued to play, he realized that he was right.
"What is this?" he couldn't help but say out loud.
"What?" Mr. Ong asked, surprised that he had interrupted their listening party. "It's a good song. I even had Ren write some of the lyrics."
June turned to Ren, who was now looking down at his lap and fiddling with his fingers.
So, that was why the song sounded so touching.
"Something's very wrong," June deadpanned.
"This song—I have way too many lines."
Mr. Ong raised his eyebrows in surprise. Usually, idol members would want to have as many lines as possible.
Was June actually complaining that he was getting the majority of the lines?
"And so?" Mr. Ong asked in disbelief.
"It's only normal," he continued.
"You are the main character of EVE, after all."
