"Bastard," Uno muttered with a smile as June was shown bowing on the screen.
EVE had just finished their performance, and it showcased their contrasting charm.?Oasis showed off a fresh and fun concept while Red Moon revealed a sexy and dangerous one.
"Uno's smiling at EVE's performance," Seven loudly exclaimed, causing his members to turn to him with raised eyebrows.
Uno quickly dropped his smile and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Stop talking nonsense," he snapped.
"Yeah," Dos said, nudging Seven's shoulder. "Stop messing with Uno."
"I'm not, though," Seven pouted. "I'm telling the truth! I even saw Uno talking with June during our last music show performance. It should've been me!"
Uno's eyes widened, but he quickly regained his composure. His other members remained skeptical before shaking their heads.
"Uno? Speaking with June?" Ocho deadpanned. "You're delusional."
Seven clicked his tongue and tilted his head to the side.
"Was it just my imagination?" he whispered.
Meanwhile, EVE cheered as they went down the stage.
"That was so good!" Jisung exclaimed, feeling the most excited after pulling off a 'sexy' concept. It definitely wasn't at the level of other groups, but for the little chick who has been called cute and innocent his entire life, getting to act cool and sexy felt very euphoric.
"You did a great job," Ren said, ruffling his hair.
"I can't believe it's over," Akira said. "We practiced so hard for it."
"Wouldn't this be the last time we'll be performing this song?" Sehun asked in a sad tone.
"Well, it'll be the last one for the year," June joked, causing his members to turn to him in surprise.
"Did you just crack a joke?" Zeth asked.
June cleared his throat before shaking his head. "I was just telling the truth."
Zeth sighed in relief. "I was worried for a while there. You're really not funny."
June clicked his tongue and opened the door to their waiting room.

"It's quite disappointing we weren't invited to go to any award shows this year," Jisung said as he sat on the couch.
"It's only expected," Casper answered. "We debuted late November. Other artists had an entire year to build their records."
"You're right," Jisung said. "OCTA hasn't gone to any award shows too."
"We still have a chance next year," Jaeyong said. "For now, let's enjoy the New Year with everybody else."
June tuned out their conversation and scrolled through the comments on the cover he posted last night.
Contrary to what he thought, it actually received more praises than hate. However, there was still an underlying sassiness in most of the comments.
- This impostor has a pretty nice voice. Almost sounds like June too.
