Chapter 455 Sus
The color on June's face drained, and his members turned to him with excited expressions.
His members looked at him like a pack of hyenas, ready to pounce at him at any given chance.
Don't get them wrong. They might act suspiciously, but they didn't have any bad intentions.
They just genuinely wanted to see their homie act cute (and suffer in the process).
June looked around and saw that the other participants were already getting ready for the first game.
"I'll do it at home," June tried compromising. However, his members were as stubborn as bulls, and with all seven of them intensely gazing at him, June knew he couldn't escape without giving them what they wanted.
So, he hesitatingly did a finger heart and showed it for a split second. If there was something June wasn't good at, then it would be aegyo. He never really got the concept around aegyo, but it seemed like fans and other people enjoyed watching it—especially from idols.
It was borderline creepy how even old men would watch fan cams of underaged K-pop girls just for their cute acts.
"There," June said, already feeling embarrassed.
"Eyy, that's not aegyo," Jaeyong said. "Akira, show him how it's done."
Akira nodded excitedly, stepping forward so he could show June what it was like to truly act cute.
Akira twisted his feet, his arms, his fingers, and any extremity that could be twisted. He then pouted before bringing his chin closer to his neck, making his eyes bigger in the process. Afterward, he puffed up his cheeks and blinked rapidly, like dust was stuck in his eyes.
June quickly covered his eyes, not wanting to watch such an atrocity.
"Why do you even like these things?" June quietly exclaimed.
Meanwhile, OCTA, who was still deliberating on who to send against SPADES, noticed what EVE was doing.
At that moment, Jisung was demonstrating yet another cute act, and it appeared like Akira wasn't backing down either.
"Gosh, what are they doing?" Seven asked, looking appalled.
"You're more appalling," Ocho whispered.
Uno looked at their group and gestured to his teammates to step back.
"What a bunch of weird guys," Uno muttered.
"Enough!" June exclaimed. "I get it. I get it. Will you play if I do as they did?" June asked Casper.
The members of EVE were deciding who to send, and it appeared like they were picking between two people.
The first candidate was Sehun, the member who undoubtedly had the biggest body in the team. He also had long legs, which would be an advantage when it came to kicking.
The second candidate was Zeth, the resident gym lad of EVE. He was someone who valued his looks a lot, so he couldn't skip one day of working out despite their busy schedules. Moreover, he really liked seeing himself in front of the large mirrors of the gym, all sexy and all.
Just then, Ocho stepped out from his team, walking to the middle and putting on his sparring gear.
"Aww dang, Ocho's going?" Akira asked. "Zeth should go then...
they have similar builds anyway."
"But Sehun's taller," Ren countered.
Zeth narrowed his eyes at Ren. "Only by a centimeter!"
June clicked his tongue, cutting their conversation short.
"I'm going," he confidently said.
"You?" Jaeyong couldn't help but exclaim. The other members, too, looked at him with wide eyes, wondering why he volunteered for such a rough sport.
June shrugged. "What's wrong with me competing?" June asked.
Jaeyong scratched the back of his head.
"It's not that we're underestimating you or anything," Jaeyong said. "We've already learned not to do that at any cost," he added.
"But you're going to get hurt!"
June sighed before shaking his head.
"What do you take me for?"
The members of EVE turned silent.Looking at June's physique, he was definitely more suited for other sports—maybe figure skating, fencing, or even swimming!
They couldn't imagine their center doing any contact sports.
June smirked as he observed their hesitant faces.
"Watch and learn."
