The members of DAWN turned to each other with skepticism after June said those words. "Oh, I just know he swallowed his words," Akira said before he could stop himself.
That earned him a glare from June, who didn't confirm or deny Akira's accusation.
- Oh, my sweet baby June, why did you say those words?
- I bet he wants to take it all back.
- I can't believe I'm saying this-but he's got worse luck than Bangsoo.
- Is that even possible? Bangsoo has the worst luck in Crawling Man! He has proven it for eight whole years already.
"Oh," Jaeduck said, looking pleasantly surprised. "Then, this won't be a problem then. We'll be playing games based around luck today."
June nodded. He knew he didn't have the greatest luck; however, things worked out for him most of the time. So, he took pride in it and agreed.
Jumi raised her hand. "If there are any team games, I want to be with June then."
"Me too!" Shinchan exclaimed.
Eunho shook his head. "Jumi, you're awfully excited today. You don't usually act like this when we have male guests."
Rowoon raised his hand. "I would know. She hadn't glanced at me for half an hour now."
Jumi shook her head in amusement while the others continued to tease her.
"That's because I really liked his movie," she said. "Untouched Souls-it's one of my favorite pieces of literature, and he was the one who brought my favorite character to life!"
"You actually read?" Jeewoo asked, making Jumi click her tongue. "Anyway, I know you guys have seen it too."
"I did," Jaeduck said. "At first, I didn't have any plans of watching it, but then my son forced me to. I'm glad I went with him. It was a really good movie."
Eunho nodded in agreement. "It's one of the best films of the year."
Niki, who hadn't said anything since her interview, also chimed in the conversation. "I also really like it. June was really good in his role."
June smiled and gave them a curt bow.
- Aww, June has become so successful!
- Yeah, everyone I know is either talking about Untouched Souls or DAWN's new album. It's really amazing.
- I'm so glad everything worked out great for him and his team in the end.
- He deserves it all, honestly.
- True! He has done so much for the industry only one year into his debut.
"You're not much of a talker, are you?" Eunho observed.
June nodded.
"Ah, but I've watched some of your videos online," Shinchan admitted. "He's quite funny. I hope we can see that today."
"I think I've seen some of his viral clips, too," Jaeduck added. "Aside from being a good singer and a fantastic dancer, he's great at variety shows! He's even better than Bangsoo!"
Bangsoo glared at Jaeduck. "I don't say anything, but you still include me in the conversation."
They laughed before the producer gave them another round of instructions.
"Alright, shall we head to the first game?" he asked.
The members and guests all exclaimed in excitement. Then, the crew finally revealed their first mission.
They all stood, only to see a huge number of boxes sprawled across the garden.
"What is this?" Eunho asked as they all settled in front of the set.
"Like I said, these are games that are based on pure luck and pure luck alone," the producer explained. "We will have a total of four games. This is the first one!"
"The title of this game is-Random Box of Fate."
"In front of you, there are fifty boxes laid out across the ground. Half of these boxes contain sturdy platforms, which are safe to step on. The other half are hollow boxes filled with... well, let's just say, some interesting surprises."
- Oh goodness. I can already tell this is going to be a disaster.
- June, show them what you're made of!
- It's a fifty percent chance! June can do it.
"The goal is to reach as many boxes as you can without falling through," the producer continued to explain. "If you land on a hollow box, don't worry - you can keep jumping until you reach a platform. However, the number of hollow boxes you land on will be counted as your 'unlucky score' for that round."
"Each platform box you land on will help you rise in rank. The fewer hollow boxes you encounter, the luckier you are, and the higher your rank climbs."
"So, it's really luck-based, huh?" Bangsoo muttered, already dreading the entire day.
He was known for his rotten luck, so he already knew he was going to land on the special hollow boxes.
Jaeduck noticed his nervousness and burst into laughter.
"It seems like Bangsoo is anxious," he pointed out. "Why don't we start with June since he said his luck isn't that bad?"
June's eyebrows raised in surprise. However, with the expectant looks on the other cast members' faces, he couldn't help but nod.
"Alright, June, you're up first! Let's see if you really have that famous good luck," Shinchan exclaimed, clapping for him.
June took a deep breath, sizing up the boxes before him.
He scanned the area until he found a box that called for his name.
"That's the one," he muttered.
- Oh, he looks confident!
- I really shouldn't have watched this after watching Untouched Souls. It's not good for my delusions.
- Seriously, with his get-up, he looks like a modern-day version of Jian.
- Do you think he's going to get a platform?
- I hope so! I want him to wear a more extravagant outfit like Jaeduck.
He walked over to the first box, giving the others a quick reassuring glance before leaping
over the chosen box.
The cast members watched him excitedly as he landed-only to hear a faint squish
underneath his foot.
June's face froze, losing a bit of his balance as something wet and squishy began to ooze around his feet. He slowly looked down, only to be met with the sight of a bloodbath.
"He got tomatoes!"
