"We're trending again," Jisung said as June went out of his room.
A week had passed since his birthday, and it was now a brand new month. EVE had gone through a lot for the past month, and their career was currently at its peak.
June turned to television, where the news was currently playing.
"Rookie group EVE takes the world by storm with their song--Luster. It has reached number one in all of the domestic charts, and it shows no signs of stopping. Earlier this morning, they've also broken into the international market, with their song ranking 197th on the top 200 worldwide songs."
Akira emerged from his room with wide eyes, immediately going next to Jisung to watch the news with him.
"We've made it to the Bilbong charts?" Akira muttered in disbelief at what he just heard.
June scratched the back of his head. "Is it that big of a deal?"
Jisung and Akira quickly turned around. "Is it that big of a deal?" Akira repeated in disbelief.
"Of course it is," Akira said. "There are groups who are more popular internationally, and they don't even chart in the top 200 worldwide songs! Do you know what this means?"
June pursed his lips. "No?"
"It means that we're claiming the title of the biggest boy group in Korea!"
Like perfect timing, the news anchor said those exact same words.
"They are the very first boy group to have a perfect all-kill on all of the domestic charts while charting internationally. Despite the group not having their first-year anniversary yet, they might just snatch the title of the biggest boy group in Korea!"
Jisung gulped as the news segment ended.
"Well...that's a lot of pressure," Jisung chuckled. "I wonder how the company will react to this."
Meanwhile, in Azure's headquarters, Mr. Ong was bathing in the small jacuzzi in his office.
EVE's song was playing in the background while he played a gambling game on his large laptop. He was completely naked, and the floors had gotten wet from his excitement whenever he won, but he didn't care at all.
In his peripheral vision, he saw Lin Zhi getting his hair done. He was clad in a black hanbok, and he was given a white wig that almost looked like gray hair.
June shook his head. Gray was definitely not his color.
Before he could even answer Hana's question, someone from the costume team dragged him inside the changing room.
"You're late," the woman with glasses said, making him purse his lips.
"I was informed to be here by this time," June said.
She shook her head. "You should have come earlier. Since this is a historical drama, it is only basic etiquette that the actors come early so you can get dressed and have your hair and make-up done. This whole process will take about an hour, so the other cast members will already proceed with filming."
June nodded in understanding. "I apologize," he sincerely said.
She nodded and got to work, placing June in a costume that was similar to Lin Zhi's.
As he emerged from the dressing room, the woman froze and looked at him with raised eyebrows. It suited him very well—
almost like the hanbok was tailored fit for him. Even though he hadn't gotten his make-up and hair done yet, he already looked quite dashing.
Then, June was coaxed over by the hair and make-up artists, and they quickly got to work.
Thankfully, they didn't give him a gray wig like Lin Zhi, and they settled for long black hair pulled into a messy half-up, half-down instead. He could hear Director Jam already shouting from the filming site, so June inferred that the shoot must have started.
It was a good thing he wasn't part of the first few scenes, so he wouldn't be delaying the filming of any sort.
In the middle of it all, June felt sleepy as the make-up artist lightly brushed her tools on his face.
Then, the make-up artist stopped and stepped back as she looked at her final creation, only to be bombarded with a visual attack.
She placed her hand over her heart as she felt a strange ache go through her body.
"How could a villain look this handsome?"
