Then, balloons popped everywhere, causing the cast to yelp in surprise.
"Yah! This is over the top!" Jumi exclaid. She looked expectantly at the producers as they slowly closed the mansion's heavy double doors behind them.
"Seriously, what's happening?" Bangsoo asked, appearing scared out of his mind. "I don't want to be a servant in this palace anymore!"
A mont later, the main producer finally spoke, holding a scroll.
Eunho shook his head in amusent. "You guys have a lot prepared, don't you think? Do we have a handso guest today?" he asked.
However, the main producer ignored him and unrolled the scroll before beginning to read.
"Welco, noble guests," he started. "Today, you will compete for a grand title, a legacy beyond riches or power. Today, you will vie to beco...the heir of the Bad Luck Castle!" "Ah, seriously," Shinchan said. "Did you have to do all of those just to introduce that?"
"Vie to beco heirs?" Jeewoo asked. "Does that an I don't have to be a stable boy forever?"
The producer continued. "Right now, each of you holds a different place in the royal hierarchy. Jaeduck, you are the firstborn prince."
Jaeduck sat up a bit straighter, giving an approving nod. "Firstborn? I can live with that. It's what I deserve."
Bangsoo shook his head. "Ah, I really hate him so much."
The producer moved down the list. "Eunho, you are the second prince."
Eunho nodded in satisfaction. "I should have been the firstborn, though," he joked.
"Shinchan, you are one of the royal guards," the producer announced next.
Shinchan let out a dramatic sigh. "So much for being royalty," he muttered, shaking his head in mock disappointnt.
The producer continued. "Jeewoo, you're the pig pen boy."
Jeewoo threw his hands up in mock indignation. "Really? A pig pen boy?"
"And Bangsoo," the producer said with a small smile, "you're the servant."
Bangsoo groaned, rolling his eyes. "Who the heck picked these roles for us?"
The producer smiled. "These are the roles you've picked for yourselves. Do you rember how we asked you to pick pieces of paper before the end of last week's shoot?
The mbers' eyes widened in recognition. "Ah, so that's what it was," Jumi muttered.
"Then, that ans that Bangsoo has so rotten luck," Jaeduck said.
The cast laughed as Bangsoo continued to protest.
"In today's challenge, each of you will play gas centered around luck," the producer explained.
"The winner of each ga will rise in the hierarchy, while the loser will fall. By the end of today, only one of you will be declared the true heir of the Bad Luck Castle."
"Wait, wait," Jaeduck said, holding up a hand. "So we can actually lose our royal status?" "Absolutely," the producer confird. "You'll all have to compete to keep your place."
Bangsoo looked back down at his servant's outfit with frustration. "So if I lose, I get demoted to... what, a broom?"
The cast burst into laughter again, but the producer rely shook his head.
"Oh, and there's one more thing," he added, holding up a finger. "You're not the only ones here today."
Bangsoo raised his fist in the air. "Do we have guests? Please tell their position is lower than mine!"
"We have three special guests with us for today's episode," the producer announced. "They will join the competition as the youngest in the royal family."
Bangsoo let out an exaggerated groan, throwing his hands in the air. "So I'm not only a servant, but I have to lose to three more people?"
Ignoring him, the producer gestured towards the entrance, where the first guest was about to make her appearance. "Our first guest is known for her... unique luck."
The doors swung open, and Niki, a rookie actress from a popular TV show, walked in. She looked around the room with wide, excited eyes, waving as she entered.
The cast greeted her with excitent and curiosity, so offering enthusiastic applause. Niki gave them a shy smile. She was clearly a little nervous but thrilled to be there.
"Welco, Niki!" Jaeduck said with a grin, standing up to give her a bow. "My wife loves your show!"
Niki laughed, taking her seat and looking around at the rest of the cast with growing excitent.
The producer moved on to introduce the second guest. "Our second guest is new to the cody scene but already making waves. Please welco Rowoon!"
"Ah, that guy?" Shinchan exclaid. "We had a skit the other week. You invited him here?"
The doors opened again, and Rowoon entered, imdiately performing a cartwheel that earned him loud cheers and applause from the cast.
"What the―" Jeewoo exclaid, taking a step back in surprise.
He grinned, giving them all a confident salute before sitting down.
"Ah, he does way too much. This is my junior, everyone!" Shinchan said, laughing as he clapped Rowoon on the back.
"Setting the bar high, I see," Jumi joked, her eyes twinkling with amusent.
Rowoon just laughed, clearly enjoying the positive attention. But the producer had one last surprise in store.
"And finally," he said, "our third guest is soone most people have been curious about."
Bangsoo tilted his head to the side. "So, he's soone like ?"
That earned him a slap on the back of the head from Eunho.
"Don't overdo it," he warned with an amused smile.
"Please welco our last guest!" The producer exclaid.
The doors opened once more, and this ti, the room seed to freeze as June stepped in. His entrance was almost surreal, the aura around him capturing everyone's attention. There was a collective gasp from the cast, followed by a mont of silence as they took him in.
"This is my first ti seeing him in person!" Jumi whispered, her eyes wide with surprise.
"He's even more handso than I imagined," Bangsoo muttered, unable to look away.
June offered them a polite bow, a small smile gracing his lips as he took in the scene. The cast mbers erupted into applause and cheers. Even Jaeduck looked impressed, nodding approvingly as June took his place.
"June!" Jeewoo exclaid.
Shinchan glanced at the producers with an impressed look. "You guys managed to recruit
him?"
Even Jumi, who was never known to be excited with male guests, couldn't help but react.
"Isn't he from Untouched Souls? I loved the film!"
Niki and Rowoon glanced at each other with wide eyes. They didn't expect June to be here-
especially not after having such a successful coback and movie.
Niki sighed. "Looks like we'll be supporting characters for the day!"
