Chapter 867: You Are The Dancing King
- I knew it. I knew it.
- You guys didn't know shit! You all underestimated my baby!
- Don't listen to them, June. I have believed in you since the very beginning.
The song finally ended, and June even imitated the pose that Mentor Gun had taught him. It was an 'apple cheek' heart that had the other contestants, along with some staff members, squealing.
"Ah, I've become a fan of June," one of the actors said, his hands over his heart.
Mimi's eyes brightened as she heard such words. With that, she turned around with an excited smile.
"I'll tell you everything I know about him!"
Meanwhile, June was still on screen, and his 'apple cheek' heart was replayed over and over again, and a slow-mo shot with floating hearts and meowing sounds was even inserted. June stood from the couch in protest. "What was that?" he exclaimed.
His members couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculous editing.
"It looks like the editing team did some research," Sehun said.
June shook his head as Akira pulled him to sit back down.
"Come on. It's not over yet," he said. "It's going to be more epic from here on out."
"June! June! June!" the group chanted simultaneously.
June scratched the back of his neck, feeling embarrassed.
"I won, right?" he shyly asked.
Ramil PD chuckled as he nodded. "You did," he said. "However, may I ask how you know so many dances?"
June pursed his lips. "I don't," he said. "I've seen them, so I imitate them in my mind," he honestly answered, causing the others to be taken aback.
- What?
- He plays the dance in his mind then copies it?
- What kind of sorcery is this?
-I don't think I've ever seen someone like that before.
- The craziest thing I saw was Lili, that girl group member who watched a dance once and then executed it perfectly. However, this is another level!
June pursed his lips as more compliments poured in.
Well, that skill was something he got from Fu. It was his cheat code. However, it seemed like
it stuck around even after he gave Fu away.
"We can't end it here!" Jordan exclaimed. "We need to see more."
June's eyes widened as the others agreed with Jordan.
"It's over, though," he muttered.
Sasha chimed in, "He's still got energy left; let him finish the whole 20 songs!"
"What?" June couldn't help but exclaim, causing the others to laugh once more.
However, they continued to push him to dance, causing June to massage his nose bridge in frustration.
Ramil PD, catching onto the wave of enthusiasm, couldn't help but grin. He glanced at June, who was still standing in the middle of the garden. However, it appeared like he wanted nothing more than to sit back down.
"June," Ramil PD called out. "There are still 4 songs left out of the 20. Do you want to take on the challenge and finish them all?"
June pursed his lips as he looked at the anticipating faces of the others. Then, from the far end, he saw Joonie with an expression that could be compared to someone holding a two- -day-old shit.
With that, he nodded.
"Alright," he sighed.
"June! June! June!"
The voices of his teammates-Akira, Casper, and Jisung-rose above the crowd, egging him on. In fact, most of the eliminated contestants were cheering for him, and their earlier competitiveness was now replaced with admiration.
June sighed once more, but there was a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
"Alright then," Ramil PD said, clearly pleased with the decision. "Let's see if you can make it through the final four!"
The music started up again, and the first of the remaining songs played: 'Devil by OCTA.' The song had a dark, edgy vibe, and the choreography was intense, full of sharp, aggressive movements. But June wasn't fazed. He knew this song well, having kept an eye on Uno, who he still considered one of his greatest rivals.
June moved with precision and power, his nonchalant expression never faltering as he executed each step with perfection.
OCTA, who was watching from the comfort of their own dorm, couldn't help but admire June.
Uno didn't say anything, but his cheeks reddened.
Seven turned to him and shook his shoulders. "He's so good! Do you think he watches our performances?"
Uno shrugged, not giving anything away.
As 'Devil' came to an end, the applause was almost deafening. But there was no time to rest as the next song started playing-a familiar track for a group of girls.
'Cosmos by LUNAIRE.'
This B-side track had a dreamy, ethereal quality to it, and the choreography was intricate, filled with fluid, almost celestial movements.
The girls turned to each other with surprise, not expecting their song to be included since it was only released recently. It didn't go viral, too, so they wondered if June knew it.
June knew, of course. He had monitored his sister's performance and even criticized some of
the missing points.
"He even knows this one?" Ramil PD exclaimed.
Mina couldn't help but smile as she watched June with wide eyes. He gave a whole new
meaning to their song!
The livestream chat was ablaze with praise.
- June is unstoppable! Is there anything he can't do?
- Cosmos is such a hard song, but he's making it look effortless.
As the song ended, June took a deep breath, his composure still intact. But the challenge wasn't over yet. The third song began, and this time, it was a ballad-an unexpected twist for
a random play dance.
The song, known for its emotional depth, required a completely different style of dance-
contemporary.
June didn't hesitate. His movements became softer as he embodied the emotion of the song.
It was a display of his versatility, showing that he could handle not just the high-energy tracks but also the slower, more expressive pieces.
"He's like a dance chameleon," Jordan murmured, clearly impressed. "No matter the style, he
makes it his own."
Nico scoffed, although he had to admit that he was also impressed.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"It's easy," he muttered.
And finally, the last song began to play.
Like perfect fate, Oasis blasted through the speakers, making June sigh in relief.
June's expression brightened slightly as the song started. There was something about performing his group's song that brought a certain warmth to his usually cool demeanor. He moved with confidence, hitting every beat like he had done it thousands of times before.
And he actually has.
His execution was perfect, and the contestants soon treated the game as a free concert.
As the song ended, the crowd clapped once more. Along with them were the staff members,
including the cameramen, who usually didn't react to such scenes.
- Ha! Take that, you bitches.
- You are all miserable for calling him talentless a while ago.
-So, who's going to replace June now, huh?
- No one. June is irreplaceable.
