"Why is everybody talking about our rejected song?" Xion asked, entering their conference room.
The three other members of CHAOS were already there, busily scrolling through their phones. They were gathered by their manager to talk about their upcoming tour, but it seemed like the employees of the company had something more important to talk about.
"Do you live under a rock?" Gideon asked. "Check Durian."
Xion frowned as he sat on one of the chairs and scrolled through his phone. He smiled when he saw their song still on the third spot. However, his smile quickly dropped when he saw the song below them.
Just one song below them, to be specific.
"They actually managed to break through the top five?" Xion exclaimed.
Kwon leaned against his seat and nodded.
"A lot of new groups have achieved that, though," Xion defended.
"Yeah," Nashon, their main rapper, said. "But all of them have been girl groups. Boy groups don't have a chance these days."
Xion bit his lip.
"And to make matters worse, the song that managed to get this achievement is Oasis," Gideon said.
"Oasis, where have I heard that again?" Xion placed his hands over his head. "Don't tell me...is it the song we rejected?"
Gideon nodded. "That's why the staff are causing a frenzy. They're bickering about who let the song go when it could have been another hit. None of our other songs on the albums managed to get into the top 20 of the charts this time, so it's kind of hectic."
Just then, another member entered the room, a frown on his face.
"Why's everyone so noisy?" he asked.
"Haruki!" Xion exclaimed. "Have you seen this?" he asked, showing Haruki his phone.
Haruki sighed before nonchalantly sitting. "Is this what it's all about?"
"Why do you look unfazed?" Kwon asked. "The song we rejected is occupying the fifth spot on the charts right now."
"Did it beat our rank?" Haruki asked, inspecting his nails.
"No," Xion said. "But still..."
"Then, I don't care," Haruki said. "You guys are way too threatened by a rookie group. If you ask me, I'll be more afraid of OCTA. They're from Esper Entertainment. That EVE group will disband in the end...and if something bad happens, they might end up disbanding earlier."
His teammates didn't speak anymore.
"You mean screen capture?" Jisung asked.
"Yes, that," June said. "I forgot."
Nico pursed his lips in anger and was about to speak once more when Jordan covered his mouth and shook his head.
"Stop being petty," he reprimanded his youngest teammate.
As they waited for Poison to finish his last song of the night—Gangnam Spice, OCTA emerged from behind EVE.
June made eye contact with Uno, and just as June was about to smile, Uno quickly looked away.
June shrugged and went back to sending his achievement to Grandma and Minjun.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long before the final stage of the night. All the artists went out to the stage, garnering the loudest screams of the night.
The iconic intro of Woojin's Caterpillar played through the speakers, and the students all exclaimed in nostalgia.
As the artists simultaneously sang the first lines, the audience sang along with them too.
Ren once again offered the microphone to June, but the latter quickly shook his head.
June knew he had forgotten something.
He forgot to learn their last song.
June looked at his user interface to see if there was something that could help him learn songs faster, even though he knew he didn't have any boosters left.
However, much to his surprise, there was one booster remaining.
[Breath of Eternity - 1]
He frowned as he selected the booster. Didn't he use this during the bridge's high note?
[Breath of Eternity. Expiring in 3 days]
[To activate, do three consecutive hip thrusts.]
June stared at it in disbelief before shaking his head. Due to his busyness yesterday, he forgot to learn how to activate the booster.
"Huh," he whispered, not quite believing that he still had the booster.
How was he able to pull off the high note, then?
