Chapter 769 Rising Stars 5 Finale (3)
Their performance ended, yet it still lingered in the air.
The boys of EVE, standing under the stars, created a beautiful and aningful picture-one that nobody could replace.
- Nobody could replace EVE in my heart.
- True. I tuned into this season, and it just didn't feel the sa. Although I love the girls, I can't help but compare them to EVE
- All of them are born to be idols!
-EVE is going to go down history-I'm telling you.
- Overrated.
June smiled as the cara panned back to him. He stood at the center of the stage, ready to host the show once again after their performance.
Ilis hair got ssed up from the performance. I lowever, it only made him look even cuter.
- Omo! A cute kitty with hair standing in all directions.
Kyaah! June is so fucking cute. I want him to fu-
Stop right there.
- I want him to fulfill his dreams and always be happy! What are you thinking about?
"That was EVE with 'The Brightest Star Is , otherwise known as the the song of this year's Rising Stars!" he exclaid, and the crowd erupted into cheers once more.
The girls, too, gave the boys standing ovations, knowing that they owned the song that was originally theirs.
"Now, it's the girls' ti to show their talents," June continued.
"The girls prepared a performance with all of them, and after their performance, the voting shall close."
The girls stood from their seats and went backstage, preparing for their performance.
i let out a deep breath and positioned herself in the middle.
"Good luck, i," Ara said.
i pursed her lips and nodded. "Good luck, too."
June waited for the cue from the staff before he continued. Once everything was set, the director spoke through his in-ear monitors.
"Go!"
"With a brand new song, Tire and Water, let us all welco the top 25!" June exclaid.
With that, the girls walked out from backstage, eliciting screams from the audience. It wasn't as loud as that of EVE's, but it was loud nonetheless.
The girls took their positions, and since it was dark, the audience couldn't see their current formation.
June, who joined the ntors and the mbers of EVF. on the seats in front of the stage, watched the girls intently.
It hadn't been that long since he had given his system to i, so he wondered how her skills had changed since then.
Just then, the lights burst into brilliance, illuminating the stage with an orange hue.
The top 25 girls stood in a striking pyramid formation, with i positioned at the center.
June's heart felt like it stopped beating for a second.
"She's the center?" he muttered.
It seed like he wasn't the only one confused, too.
- i as the center? Really now?
- So many people are still so bitter! i has improved so much in the course of the show. You're
just letting your miserable selves show by calling her untalented all of the ti.
As much as I didn't like i during the first half of the show, it also can't be denied that she has really improved.
- Her performance with June was iconic! It was one of the best vocal performances of the show. i, despite feeling nervous, lifted her head and stared right into the cara,
Like perfect timing, the cara zood in on her, earning cheers as loud as the one that EVE got.
The other girls were confused as to the sudden increase in the volu of their voices. However, seeing i on the small screen before them made them realize the reason behind it.
Jeemin shook her head. She, too, wanted to beco the center for the last stage, but sohow, she also knew that i deserved it.
She showed it during the choosing of the center role.
i killed it.
As the elental music of 'Fire and Water' filled their air, reminiscent of The Final Countdown, their schoolgirl scarves fluttered-one side orange, the other blue-symbolizing their unity amidst diversity.
- i hasn't sung yet, but I already believe she deserves the center position.
- A face like hers only arises once in a century.
- We're so lucky we have two of them in this lifeti, though-i and June.
-May and June! Hey, that's actually pretty cute. Their ship na could be #Monthz
-Stfu. You're a mistake.
-Your mother should have swallowed you instead.
-Don't ship June with a random ass girl.
-June is for everyone! He can't date anyone!
Amidst the argunts happening online, the performance continued.
It started with a dynamic dance break; their movent synchronized to near perfection. June raised his eyebrows in pleasant surprise. His gaze was directed to one person only-i. Iler dancing had drastically improved since they'd perford together.
A small smile appeared on his lips as he continued observing i.
That didn't go past the people watching in the front, as so of them fild June and quickly posted it on Navel.
It was captioned 'You won't believe who June is looking at
It looked like a relatively normal video, with June having an attentive look in his eyes-like a lover would do. Then, it panned to i at the very end, eliciting unwanted comnts from astras and normies alike.
-Sothing's definitely going on with them!
-I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed! They're too close to just be friends.
-June is just ntoring her. You guys can't be normal for once.
-A guy and a girl can't be just friends."
-I'm letting you go, June.
-Bitch, he never even held onto you in the first place.
The girls continued dancing before staying still for a second.
Then, i stepped forward, her voice carrying the weight of their journey.
"Water and fire, never ant to blend,
But it's what I've got, my path to the end.
Enduring the burn, feeling the chill,
Reaching for dreams, bending my will."
Just when June thought that i's dancing was surprising, her singing had surpassed his
expectations a hundredfold!
The audience couldn't help but gasp as they heard i's voice.
Even Lee Sik had to pinch himself awake to ensure he wasn't dreaming.
"Dang," Junc muttered.
"Fu is putting in so work."
