Chapter 496 Bloody Addicting
"In my heart....right here...right now," Ted muttered as he leaned his elbows against his knees.
He was currently in the bathroom, trying to pass stool that had been stuck in his colon for the past three days. He held his breath as he felt it pushing out. However, it quickly went back in when he realized that he was singing EVE's song.
"Shit," he cursed, feeling wronged.
"Why is that song stuck inside my head?" he exclaimed, frustrated in the office's restroom.
Meanwhile, Mari was coming up with newer, fresher lyrics for EVE's chosen title track. She had taken Minzy's suggestion more seriously, so she went ahead and wrote the lyrics right away. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
However, she couldn't find the right words. She wanted to do her best for EVE since she was aiming for yet another successful comeback.
After a few seconds, some words appeared in her head.
She quickly jotted them down, liking how it sounded in her mind.
'Cause I'm tongue-tied...and I'm hypnotized,' she wrote.
Then, she halted, looking at the familiar words with narrowed eyes.
"This is...," she muttered, the tune suddenly resounding in her mind. She shook her head when she realized what she was currently writing.
"Gosh, I can't get their song out of my head."
Minzy went to the mall to get herself a new bag for her recent freedom from her dad. A song was playing through the mall's speakers, but she was humming another song under her breath—one that hadn't been released yet.
She halted when she realized it was, indeed, the song that EVE had presented to her mere moments ago.
Minzy shook her head to get rid of the song in her head.
"Why is it still playing in my head?" she muttered before going on her way.
"Cause I'm tongue-tied..."
"And I'm surprised..."
"Every single time you look into my eyes..."
"Yeah, you make me want to fly...."

"Will you guys stop singing the song?" June asked as they sang the unreleased track in the car.
At first, he felt proud because he wrote most of the lyrics of the chorus. Moreover, being able to upgrade it with his own hard work felt satisfying.
As they walked inside, with the other members still laughing happily, June quickly made his way to his room.
He twisted the doorknob and sighed in relief when he found it was still locked.
However, his thoughts were cut off when he heard a shrill scream that seemed to have come from a little girl from the other side of the dorm.
June's fight or flight responses kicked in as he quickly made his way out to the sound of the scream.
There, he saw Casper, who was standing still in front of his door.
The other members started arriving, too, alarmed by the sound.
"Did that scream come from you?" Akira asked, pointing at Casper.
Casper merely stepped back, not responding to his question. That pretty much confirmed it, though.
"What happened?" Sehun asked.
Casper pointed to his room, so the oldest member took the courage to step inside.
However, he cursed loudly and quickly made his way outside when he saw the scene before him.
June frowned in confusion, wondering what could be there to have his teammates react as such.
"If Sehun and Casper are scared of it, then I'm most likely sure I would be too," Jisung said.
"Don't worry," Akira patted his back. "Nobody's expecting you to go in there."
They turned to their leader but quickly looked away since they knew he was probably even more of a scaredy-cat than Jisung.
So, naturally, they turned to June, one of their youngest members.
June didn't have to think twice.
He entered the room without any hesitation.
June's eyebrows furrowed when he saw the scene before him.
On the wall, in the middle of the room, there was a realistic black cat taped on. Alongside it was big, red letters just right below.
He went closer as his members peeked inside, gasping when they saw the situation in Casper's room.
June swiped his finger on the writing and frowned when it stained his hand.
Then, he brought it to his nose to give it a whiff before turning back to his teammates.
"It's blood," June deadpanned.
