Chapter 859: Greedy For Screentime
June thought there would be a reason for the production crew giving him a pair of scissors.
He could only pick up a single food with it, and he couldn't necessarily use it as a plate, so June inferred that he had to use it to get another utensil.
He looked around the garden and saw a banana tree standing amidst the pretty flowers.
With that in mind, he grabbed his scissors and walked over to the banana tree. One cameraman followed him inconspicuously, wondering what he was going to do. Ramil PD also stopped conversing with his fellow producers to look at June.
June didn't think twice before climbing the banana tree and cutting half of one leaf.
They were all stunned as he nonchalantly entered the house and came out with the fully- washed leaf.
Then, he went to the selection of food and started picking out what he wanted to eat.
Truth be told, he had already eaten before going to the shoot, but he was not really informed that they needed to skip lunch.
However, after seeing the food, he wanted to eat with his members. He could just ask for a taste from them, but he reckoned that it would be unfair-especially since he did really badly in the game.
With that, he sat on his seat with a decently filled banana leaf before digging in with his own hands.
The others merely watched the oblivious June, who only snapped back to reality when Ramil PD burst into laughter.
"Oh goodness!" the producer exclaimed.
June stopped chewing and looked at the gleeful producer.
"I have never seen anything like this before," he continued, turning to his staff members, who also appeared amused.
The pair of scissors was originally designed to hold the noodles-especially the holes. However, June just gave it a whole new meaning.
His members also burst into laughter, with Jisung holding back his aggression,
"That's so cute!" he exclaimed.
June frowned. "What is?" he asked.
"The way you just cut the banana leaf," Jisung smiled. "I didn't think about it at all."
June shrugged and continued eating. "Well, it's not really possible to eat with a pair of scissors, so I bet that they gave me this thing for a reason," he smiled.
The camera captured his innocent smile, so the producers couldn't help but agree with him.
"Is this alright?" one of them asked Ramil PD.
June turned around and saw that Joonie was still washing his hands, but he could see his eyes staring right into him from the reflection of the glass on the cupboard.
"Yes?" June asked, crossing his arms in front of his chest. Truth be told, he was also curious about Joonie's personality.
"Is that all part of your act?" he asked in the same tone.
"What?" June asked.
Joonie turned around, still with wet hands, and smiled even wider.
"All of that?" he asked. "Acting oblivious and all? I guess it's good for your branding. It gives
you more screen time as well."
June looked at him to gauge if he was serious, and then he let out a small chuckle when he realized that Joonie was, indeed, serious.
"I see," June muttered, so he was the only one to be able to hear it.
"What do you think?" June asked, not wanting to directly answer his question.
Joonie smiled and took the towel from the rack.
"I don't want to make assumptions," he smiled. "So, I'll keep my mouth shut."
"I think you already made an assumption," June said, mirroring his smile.
Joonie's expression didn't deter. In contrast, he appeared even brighter.
"Ah, you got me," Joonie said. "Although, I was only able to recognize your act because I was
doing the same."
June's eyebrows raised in surprise.
So, Joonie was actually the one who wanted to prolong his screen time?
Well, that wasn't too surprising now. He did have a lot of screentime for 'Everyday,
Everynight,' so he must be an expert in it by now.
"Anyway," Joonie said, letting out a deep breath as he left the towel to dry on the rack.
"There's still plenty more games to play," he continued.
He walked towards the door but not without looking back at June.
"I'm just giving you a heads up-I'm not going to play dumb for the next rounds anymore."
