Chapter 984: Bad Apple
The night was alive as fans lined the streets outside a large movie theater.
Tonight was the grand premiere of Untouched Souls, the film that had been in the making for what seemed like forever.
A fantasy historical fusion with intricate lore, stunning visual effects, and a star-studded cast -it had been one of the most highly anticipated films of the year. Yet, despite the excitement surrounding the project, it had faced numerous setbacks: delays, cast changes, and the highly publicized and debunked scandal involving June.
But now, all seemed to be back on track. The red carpet was already filled to the brim with celebrities, media, and enthusiastic fans. The flashes from cameras appeared like lightning as the stars of the night made their way down the red carpet.
Taehyun and Hana, the film's main characters, arrived together, hand in hand, stepping out of their luxury car. Taehyun, tall and impeccably dressed in a sleek black tuxedo, flashed his famous smile at the cameras. Hana, looking every bit the leading lady in a shimmering, floor- length gown, clung to his arm. The pair looked like a power couple, and the fans ate it up, screaming their names as they slowly made their way down the red carpet.
"Taehyun! Hana!" The reporters rushed toward them, microphones outstretched, eager for a soundbite.
"What an entrance! You two look stunning!" one of the reporters gushed.
"Thank you, thank you," Taehyun said with a modest smile, adjusting his tie while glancing toward Hana, who gave a small wave to the crowd.
The two exchanged glances, clearly excited, but as they posed for photos, Taehyun leaned closer to Hana and whispered something. She covered her mouth, trying to suppress a laugh.
A curious reporter raised her hand and asked, "What's the secret? You two seem to be in such good spirits!"
"Oh, we're just... anticipating someone special's arrival," Taehyun teased.
Hana grinned, unable to hide her amusement. "We're waiting for June, of course," she said, almost giggling.
"Childish," he had called it in his review, slamming the plot as overly simplistic and the characters as underdeveloped. He'd given it a pitiful 1.3 apples out of five.
And now, June was about to star in Untouched Souls, a beloved book series that had captivated readers with its complex characters and detailed world-building. Bad Apple couldn't help but feel dread.
"They've butchered the casting," he muttered again, crossing his arms as he scanned the crowd. "How can they expect him to carry such a role?"
As if on cue, the final black limousine pulled up at the end of the red carpet. The crowd immediately erupted into deafening screams. Signs with June's name shot up into the air, and fans surged forward, eager to catch a glimpse of their idol.
The sound was almost unbearable to Bad Apple's ears, but even he couldn't look away as the door of the limousine slowly opened.
And then, there he was.
June stepped out of the car with a small smile that made the crowd lose their minds. Dressed in a fitted black suit, he looked like he was the main character of the event. His hair was styled to perfection, his face glowing under the lights.
He gave a calm smile to the fans, waving as the cameras flashed nonstop, capturing his every
move.
Even Bad Apple, in his eternal cynicism, couldn't deny that June cut a striking figure. For a brief moment, he found himself-dare he say-impressed.
But the moment passed quickly.
"Looks aren't everything," Bad Apple muttered, narrowing his eyes at the idol on the red carpet. His expression darkened as he watched the overzealous fans scream
June's name. "It's all a facade. Let's see if he can actually act."
"I'm ready to give this movie half an apple if he doesn't do Jian's character justice."
