Chapter 421 3V3
Jay stepped on the brakes, causing all the members of EVE to jolt forward. However, only June seemed to be fazed by the near-death experience. He turned around to see if there were any cars behind them and sighed in relief when he saw that the road was empty. "What the hell?" June exclaimed. "That could have caused a serious accident!" However, they continued looking at June with wide eyes. "I refuse to believe this," Akira mindlessly said. Jisung, on the other hand, covered his mouth and repeatedly slapped it. "I can't believe I said those words about June! Forgive me, bro. I didn't know it was really you."
"This doesn't make sense!" Zeth exclaimed. June sighed and brought out his phone, opening his Navel account and showing it to his members. "Here," he said, scrolling up and down. "Is that big enough of a proof? I told you—this is my account." "Hell," Jay chuckled. "I can't believe someone as cool as June has a lame-ass username." "Shut up, BigDaddyCJay," June retorted, pertaining to his past username. "But being a loser is part of Jay's brand," Sehun said. "I really didn't expect such a username to come from you." Jaeyong chuckled as he scrolled through June's comments. "It seems like his fans don't believe him either. It appears like you've had this account since Rising Stars, but nobody believes it's really you." "Well, you didn't even believe me," June retorted. "I mean—why would you spell EVE with threes?" Ren couldn't help but chuckle. "It's pretty cute," June muttered, feeling offended. Why did it seem like nobody liked his username?
"It is cute," Casper quickly said. "Yeah!" Jisung exclaimed, despite insulting his account just moments ago. "It's the cutest username ever!"
A small smile appeared on June's lips. "Go ahead and follow me then. I think it's time our fans know that my account is real," June said. His members skeptically looked at each other. "Are you sure?" Zeth asked. "I already did it," Casper said, already placing his phone back in his pocket. "Well," Akira pursed his lips. "I guess we're left with no choice." June smirked as he saw the notifications pop up on his phone. Jay also brought out his phone and followed him before continuing to drive back to their dorm. At that moment, all hell broke loose. June scrolled through his comments with a knowing smile. His follow count skyrocketed at that moment, and astras who doubted him from the very beginning flocked to his comments. - Guys, all members of EVE, along with their manager, are following this account. - Is it April 1st today? - I wish! I think this is really June's account. - It's been confirmed at this point. - I'm dying laughing over the past posts June made. He was practically screaming at us to believe him. - Yet no one believed him :(
- I'm so ashamed.
- To be fair, it is an ugly username. - Don't call it ugly! It's unique. - Yeah—unique. That's what my dad calls me, too. Meanwhile, Jia and her friends, who were walking back to their school dorm, halted when Bora saw the issue on her phone. "What?" Jia asked the wide-eyed Bora. "June," Bora merely said, causing Jia to internally panic. "June?" she asked. "What about June? Did he get into an accident on his way back?" Soomin, Nari, and Wei also stopped with concerned looks on their faces. "It's worse," Bora said shakily. "What?" the four exclaimed. "What happened?" Jia shouted. "He just got shot! Why is the universe so cruel to June?" "Do you know that guy that's been getting a lot of hate for impersonating June?" Bora asked. "Yeah," Jia sighed. "That fucking loser still hadn't stopped." "Don't tell me—did he harm June?" Jia asked. "No," Bora said. "He is June." Jia felt like she was hit in the head with a cement block. "What?" she mindlessly asked. "That guy—he's June." That day, June took over the trends list—one, for his blonde hair; two, for their performance; and three, for his atrocious username. ***
The participants of King of Kings had gathered once again for some important announcements.
June thought that only his fans knew about his whole username fiasco. However, as their group entered inside, he could feel the other participants staring at him.
SPADES, whom the group had gotten closer to for the past days, guffawed as soon as they saw June. Before Y could start teasing him, June held his hand up. "Shut up," June said. "I don't care what you think about my username." "How'd you know I was going to bring it up?" Y asked. "I could tell by the look in your eyes," June said. "Hey, did you know—your username has been ranked as the worst idol username on Navel," Chan chimed. June sighed and shook his head before settling in EVE's seat. Just then, the curtains opened, revealing Wonbin with a wide smile on his face. The idols stood and bowed at the famous comedian. "Good morning, guys!" he exclaimed. Greetings were thrown around in the room. "Thank you for coming here again for your second to the last mission! I know this journey is a short one, but I do hope that it's memorable," he continued. "Before I introduce the next mission, I am going to reveal the winner of the last mission." "Here is the current scoreboard," Wonbin said, revealing a table that contained the votes from the very first mission.
"As we can see, CHAOS is leading with 10,061,113 votes. Next is OCTA, who has 5,678,903. Third is EVE with 5,525,098." EVE and OCTA glanced at each other, finding themselves in another mini-competition. Meanwhile, CHAOS was satisfied with the huge gap they had created with the teams. It was astronomical how there was more than a 9 million gap between the first place and the last place—with Robby earning merely 658,065 points from the first mission. "Here in my hands is the result of last week's mission...and let me tell you—it's close. I, myself, was surprised when I first saw it." June sat straight, feeling hope bloom in his heart. If it was a close call and if Wonbin was surprised, then their team might have a chance to win against CHAOS. Moreover, fans of EVE and SPADES joined hands together to vote for them, giving them a better chance at winning. "Now, let's start with the last place," Wonbin started off. "With 2,345,678 votes, we have BOYMYSTIC and Robby!" he exclaimed. BOYMYSTIC nodded in acknowledgment. It seemed like they had already accepted their loss, but Robby, who was the primary reason their performance failed, couldn't believe he was in last place again. "In third place—OCTA and MORPH3D, who had 5,897,134 votes."
Again, OCTA and MORPH3D weren't too surprised with their ranking. It seemed like most of them already knew who was going to be the top two teams. The cameras focused on the three groups as Wonbin built anticipation for the winner's announcement. "And the first place for the second mission is..."
