It was the day of their recording, and so mbers of EVE gathered right outside of the studio.
June halted as he saw Akira and Jisung skipping hand-in-hand to where he was.
"What are you guys doing here?" he asked. "I thought I had the earliest schedule."
"You do," Jisung smiled. "But we wanted to co with you."
June sighed and shook his head. "You don't even get up early to eat breakfast. How can you guys be here earlier than I am?"
"Co on," Akira said. "My recording schedule is still in the afternoon, so I'm going back ho right after."
June shook his head at his dedication. With that, the three entered the recording studio.
However, much to their surprise, it was actually occupied.
Jay turned around and greeted them with surprise. "You guys are here early," he remarked, his eyes widening as he noticed the EVE mbers.
The three looked at Jay along with the small group of fresh-faced trainees that accompanied him. Akira wanted to coo because they looked so adorable-so innocent without knowing a thing about the entertainnt industry. anwhile, Jisung hid behind Akira's back, feeling shy despite being older than the group of trainees.
June nodded, a slight frown creasing his brow. "It's my scheduled recording ti," he replied. anwhile, the group of trainees looked at the mbers of EVE with wide eyes. It was early in the morning, so they were dressed in casual clothes and had no make-up on, but they looked so much like princes!
"Yeah, the title track, right?" Jay asked. "I'm glad the album preparations are going well."
"By the way, these are so new trainees," Jay explained quickly, gesturing towards the six individuals who had paused their activities upon the arrival of EVE. "Just giving them a tour around. We were about to wrap up."
Akira couldn't help but chuckle. "Is that even the work of a CEO?"
Jay clicked his tongue, shaking his head in amusent. "My secretary is busy. Besides, I like doing this. It makes the company feel more close to its employees, am I right?"
"Sure," Akira deadpanned. "Just say that your secretary is the real CEO of Phoenix Entertainnt."
Jay rolled his eyes before facing the trainees. "Co on, kids," he said. "Let's leave these an guys, shall we?"
One of the trainees, a young man with eager eyes and a nervous smile, raised his hand tentatively. "Um, could we stay and watch?" he asked, causing the other trainees to turn to Jay and the mbers with hopeful gazes, too.
Jay glanced at June, silently seeking approval. June hesitated for a mont, considering the request. After a while, he sighed and nodded.
"Sure, you can stay," he said, his gaze shifting back to the trainees. "But this is going to take around an hour. You guys can leave in the middle if you want."
The trainees nodded eagerly, clearly thrilled at the opportunity to observe EVE in action.
"An hour of just looking and listening to June? I'm not going to leave anyti soon," one of the girls muttered.
The trainee next to her nodded excitedly.
As Jay, Jisung, Akira, and the other trainees found seats along the studio's back wall, June settled into his respective position in front of the microphone.
With a nod from the engineer, the music began to play, filling the studio with the improved lody of their title track.
The engineer jived to the intro, clearly liking the song. He had heard the instruntal plenty of tis now, and he was curious how EVE was going to make it co alive.
June closed his eyes briefly, centering himself before launching into the first verse. His voice, smooth and resonant, filled the air with an undeniable presence, drawing the trainees' attention.
Jisung and Akira glanced at each other as the trainees imdiately exclaid in amazent. They looked at June like they had so sort of awakening.
Jisung couldn't bla them. He still felt that June was amazing no matter how many tis he had heard him sing.
"Nice," the engineer said. "I think we got it."
June's eyebrows raised in surprise. "That easily?"
The engineer nodded. "Yes. This is already a really good take. I don't think we should change
it."
Since June was also satisfied, he nodded and proceeded to the next verse.
"Is it always this easy?" one of the trainees asked themselves. However, Akira was able to hear him.
He chuckled and shook his head. "It's never this easy. June just makes it look like that because he's really good. I don't think he's even going to spend an hour here!"
The trainees felt that June was really amazing.
Then, June continued, now rapping. The trainees turned to each other with surprise once more. June rapped really well, too? It was a cheat code after showing off his incredible vocals! The trainees watched in awe as June perford, their eyes bright with admiration. They had heard EVE's songs before and seen their performances on screen, but witnessing them in the intimate setting of the recording studio was an entirely different experience. At that mont, Jisung took the opportunity to ask them what they felt about the song. He scratched the back of his neck before speaking. "Do you guys like the song?" he nervously asked. However, he didn't have to be nervous at all.
The trainees exchanged excited glances before nodding enthusiastically. "It's amazing," one of them replied.
"I can already hear it playing everywhere!" another chid.
"I like it so much, and I think my mom will like it, too."
"Yes! It's a song that a lot of generations would like."
"Phoenix's stocks are going to rise again."
The last comnt made the adults chuckle. anwhile, Jisung sighed in relief, not being able
to hide his happiness.
"My song is good," he muttered, feeling proud of himself.
anwhile, as June continued to sing, the trainees also continued to beco more inspired.
Akira saw the looks on their faces and smiled.
"Do you guys want to be idols soon?" he asked.
They turned to them and nodded, appearing inspired.
"Work hard and practice then," he encouraged them. "However, don't expect to be as good as
June. That guy is untouchable."
