"Thank you so much for doing this, June!" Yena exclaimed as soon as they were done.
Due to June's upgraded acting skills, they could finish filming in only one take.
"No problem," June said.
'It's not like I have a choice.'
Fortunately, he was going to join the show as a host and a judge this time and not as a participant.
He would much rather castrate both his big toes, place them in a grinder, pour them into a rusty cup, and drink the concoction sober and with mouth sores than participate in Rising Stars again.
That was how stressful it was.
"Well, these are the confirmed applicants," Yena said. "We will be filming on Friday, and it will be aired two weeks later. We'll be having weekly filming schedules from there on out. However, we won't bother you too much if you have a prior schedule. We know that you also have a lot on your plate."
"Thanks for being considerate," June said through his teeth. If they knew he had a lot on his plate, then they should have called somebody else!
"May I ask who the new judges are, by the way?" June asked.
Yena and Yejin smiled at each other. "Well, you'll be happy to hear that some judges stayed."
"Ji-Hyun will still be the vocal mentor, and Gun will be the dance mentor."
"Hmm," June hummed, somehow comforted that he was going to work with familiar people.
"Do they know that I have been chosen as the special host?" June asked.
Yena excitedly shook her head.
"I guess they'll find out once the commercials are out."
June smirked. He wondered how they were going to react.
Spoiler: They're going to react ballistically. Those two love June to a great extent now.
"Bone will also retain as the rap mentor," Yejin continued. "But there are two new people added to the roster."
"Amira will be the other dance mentor."
June tilted his head to the side in confusion.
Amira? Who was that again?
"And Lee Sik will be the other vocal mentor."
June's eyebrows raised in surprise. He didn't expect to meet his master in a new show. He felt that the trainees would be really lucky to be able to be taught by him right away.
"I see," June said. "That's a great line-up."
Yejin nodded in agreement. "And with your addition, we have the perfect line-up."
June chuckled in amusement.
"We'll see you on Friday then," Yena said, bringing out something from her bag.
"Nope, that's a child," Akira said, quickly flipping to the next page.
Then, when he saw the next one, he quickly stopped, looking at the photo with wide eyes.
"What?" June asked.
"So...pretty...," he muttered. "She looks like someone I know."
"Ooh! She's your age, June," he exclaimed, still staring at the photo.
"Let's look at her name."
"May?"
Akira snapped out of his fantasy as June snatched the paper from his hands, flipping it back to the first page.
"Stop exploiting the girls," he said.
"How is that exploiting?" Akira muttered. "I'm just appreciating them."
"Yeah," Jisung said. "We both know you wouldn't be able to approach them anyway."
Akira clicked his tongue. "I know the shy boy isn't talking."
Jisung pursed his lips and turned away with red cheeks.
"Aren't you going to eat with us?" Zeth asked.
June shook his head.
"It's fine. I bought that for you. I'm way too tired after the filming," June said.
"Rest well, June," Casper said in a serious tone.
June nodded and went to his room, got dressed, and plopped onto his bed.
He closed his eyes for a moment but felt something by his side. He opened his eyes once more and saw the stack of paper that Akira was messing with.
His curiosity got the best of him, so he quickly grabbed the paper and flipped to the first page.
"Jeemin," June read. He didn't pay much attention to their looks since he didn't want to judge them on the surface level.
"Her special talent is acrobatics," he muttered, finding it interesting.
He continued to flip through more pages but found himself getting sleepy on the 30th trainee.
"Goodness," he muttered. "I underestimated how many a hundred trainees really are."
He flipped through the next page but found his vision getting blurry.
"One more," he muttered.
However, his eyes were fully closed before he could even see the next person.
"May," he muttered, letting go of the paper and causing it to fall to the ground, the pages flipping and covering the 31st trainee.
