Chapter 457 Snapped Back To Reality
"We should make a Navel account dedicated to hating Ocho," Akira proposed as soon as they got to the car.
Akira held the prize June had won in his hands, determined to make Ocho's career topple to the ground.
June massaged his temples. Aside from the initial benefits, this potion had been nothing but a pain in the ass. Ocho even tried kissing his cheeks before they left, causing an uproar among the members of OCTA and EVE.
[Time left for WhimisLust potion: 3 minutes]
Thankfully, June only had to endure three minutes of annoyance before it finally ended.
Three grueling minutes.
"Don't," June said, glaring at all of them. "Just let it go."
"But why? He tried kissing you on the cheek!" Jisung exclaimed.
"We won, though," Zeth excitedly said. "And now, we have Korean beef!"
June sighed once again. That was another problem. He thought they were going to win another benefit. However, aside from getting to pick the order of performances, the only other thing they won was Korean beef.
Just then, June felt the emotion shift inside the car.
Jisung was holding onto his arm at that moment while Ren was patting his head like a little cat.
Then, like something snapped back to their original place, the members of EVE halted. Even Jay, who was driving the car, stepped on the brakes.
June shook his head and turned around to see if there were cars nearby.
"You really need to stop doing that," June scolded. "It's already the second time this has happened! We'll die if this happens for the third time."
However, it seemed like Jay was still lost in his thoughts.
Jay stared into the distance before placing his hand over his chest.
"I...feel strange," he said.
"Same," Ren quickly agreed, also staring off into the distance.
Jisung sniffed next to him, making June feel even more weirded out.
"I felt like I lost a first love...," their youngest member whispered.
"But you don't remember who they are...," Akira finished his statement for him.
He just wasn't sure if Arin would be comfortable acting like that with him.
"Sorry, I'm late!" Arin exclaimed, walking inside the cafe. "The salon took longer than usual for my makeup."
Director Nana sighed in relief once she saw Arin. She quickly led Arin next to June so they could start filming right away.
"Alright, we'll start right away. This cafe only allowed us to film for two hours, so we don't have any time to spare," Director Nana said.
Bubbles went in front of the cameras and prepared the slate before June and Arin could even engage in a conversation.
"Action!" Director Nana exclaimed.
June and Arin didn't waste any time getting into their characters. June channeled the feelings he had for astras, while Arin channeled her real feelings.
Much to June's surprise, Arin wasn't afraid to meet his eyes this time around.
He was even the one who felt awkward when he had to feed Arin for one of the scenes.
Fortunately, Director Nana didn't mind it too much and continued rolling with the scene.
Some more sweet conversations later, and they finally finished filming the scenes of the drama.
"...and cut!" Director Nana exclaimed.
The crew members and other actors cheered, one of them even popping the confetti they had prepared.
June smiled as he observed the people who had helped him drastically with his acting for the past few weeks.
It was a short experience, but it was definitely memorable.
It was June's first acting gig, and it left him wanting to do more projects in the future.
He stood from his seat, dusting his jeans off the crumbs that had fallen down when he fed Arin for a certain scene.
Suddenly, he felt a soft, cold hand hold onto his arm, making him turn around.
June frowned in confusion when he saw Arin's smiling face. She usually had a permanent frown whenever they interacted, so this was definitely unexpected.
"What?" June bluntly asked.
Arin smiled even bigger, walking closer to June.
June had to step back since she became too close.
"Let's go have dinner like you promised me," she said.
