Chapter 849: The Replacement Is Here?
June didn't think that the time would come soon enough, though.
He was shaken awake by none other than Akira, some of his saliva dripping down June's cheeks.
June awakened and slapped Akira's face while wiping away the drool from his skin.
"What are you doing?" June exclaimed.
Akira didn't mind being slapped by June. Instead, he held onto his wrist and dragged him to their dining room.
"Casper cooked!" Akira exclaimed. "He told us not to wake you up early, so he cooked instead."
June's eyes narrowed at him, appearing like he wanted to murder the older member. "Then, why did you wake me up now?" June exclaimed.
"Oh, because the food is done," Akira said. "I'm excited to taste Casper's cooking."
June shook his head and sat on his seat while Casper placed the food on the table.
As soon as he did, the members all turned silent, looking at the questionable contents of the plate.
"Oh, is this broccoli?" Sehun asked, trying to lighten the atmosphere. "I love vegetables in the morning."
"It's a chicken nugget," Casper said. "But, I did put some veggies and herbs in it."
"Oh," Sehun muttered. "A homemade chicken nugget?"
Casper excitedly nodded.
Akira leaned closer to Jisung and whispered, "I think this was a bad idea."
"But he looks so excited, though," Jisung whispered back, his gaze focused on Casper's smiley expression.
"And what's this?" Ren asked. "Flavored water?"
"It's soup," Casper smiled.
"Why does it have ice? And why is it clear?" Jaeyong asked, sounding quite afraid.
"It's cold soup. I'm trying a new recipe," Casper answered.
"It looks like shit," Zeth said before he could control himself. However, Ren quickly covered his mouth.
"What was that?" Casper asked with raised eyebrows.
"Nothing, nothing," Jisung chuckled nervously, not wanting to ruin Casper's mood.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"We'll eat it," he said.
None of them wanted to take the first bite, so they all turned to June, who had just finished slapping himself awake.
With that, he mindlessly poked one of Casper's green chicken nuggets and took a bite.
The others watched him patiently, wanting to see his reaction.
June shrugged and took another bite, causing the others to sigh in relief.
"I guess it's not too bad," Akira whispered.
With that, he also poked a chicken nugget and placed it whole in his mouth. The others did the same, with some being more timid.
"How is it?" Casper excitedly asked.
There was a collective reaction within the room.
Akira quickly spat the green chicken nugget, the chewed-up blob plopping onto the table like it was a piece of poop.
"Ew!" Jisung exclaimed.
"What the heck is that?" Akira exclaimed. "It tastes like a weapon!"
The others, too, started spitting out the chicken nugget, causing Casper to frown.
"What did you put in it?" Zeth asked, cleaning his palette with the clear soup. Fortunately, it just tasted like slightly salty water.
Casper's frown deepened. "Chicken," he started off. "Barley leaves."
"That's it."
"That's it?" Akira asked. "So, that's why it tastes like a bomb!"
Then, he turned to June. "How could you eat this?"
June looked up at them and shrugged. When he was younger, he could eat everything, so this wasn't too bad.
"It's not bad," he said, causing the others to look at him with amazement.
Meanwhile, Casper jogged to where June was and patted his back.
"I knew it," he said. "This is the type of food that Luther likes, too."
The boys looked at Casper with wide eyes.
"You fed us cat food?" Zeth exclaimed, running to the sink to rinse his mouth.
Casper clicked his tongue. "It's human food, duh? I made it for you this time, so it's human food."
"I can't believe this," Ren muttered, feeling violated.
"Well, it doesn't matter anyway. I don't care what you guys think. Just as long as June likes it!" Casper happily chimed.
"I don't like it," June deadpanned. "I just don't think it's disgusting."
"It doesn't matter," Casper said, already feeling fulfilled.
"Someone open a ramen packet," Zeth said after his session at the sink.
Ren sighed and stood.
"I'll do it," he grumbled.
The boys, along with Casper, rejoiced.
As they waited for Ren to finish cooking the ramen, Akira suddenly came across a very
interesting article.
"Holy crap!" he exclaimed.
The boys stopped what they were doing and turned to their member with raised eyebrows.
"What?" Jaeyong asked.
"I can't believe I caught this just seconds after it came out," Akira muttered.
"What is it?" Jisung asked, scooting closer to Akira to look at what he was reading.
Jisung also gasped in shock, covering his hand with his mouth.
Zeth impatiently clicked his tongue. "Well, don't just sit there. Read it out loud."
Jisung nodded and grabbed Akira's phone before reading the article out loud.
"Breaking News: Joonie Joins Azure Entertainment!"
"What?" the boys, with the exception of June, gasped in shock.
Even Ren stopped stirring the pot for a moment to listen to what Jisung was reading.
"Joonie, the former D-list rookie actor who recently gained fame on PD Ramil's hit variety show, 'Everyday, Everynight,' has signed with Azure Entertainment. Initially brought on as a seemingly filler member, Joonie quickly captured the audience's hearts with his genuine kindness and reliability, thriving in the show's unique setting away from the hustle and
bustle of city life."
"The two-week show, which had Joonie and other celebrities living and working in rural farmlands, revealed a side of him that many had not seen before, leading to an outpouring of support and admiration from fans. His newfound popularity caught the attention of various entertainment companies, but it appears Azure Entertainment offered the most enticing deal, even covering his separation fee from his previous agency."
"Is this real?" Jaeyong asked with wide eyes.
"It is," Akira said. "He even has an exclusive interview."
With that, Akira showed his phone to his members before playing the video.
June tilted his head to the side when he saw that his pink hair was now dyed blonde, similar to
how June did it during King of Kings.
"What are your thoughts on Azure?" the interviewer asked.
"I've always admired them," Joonie responded with a bright smile. "I love all of their
shows."
"How does it feel now to be a part of it?"
"I feel honored," Joonie said with a slight bow.
"Although I had signed with an acting agency a while back, I've always had another dream."
"To become an idol."
