Chapter 317 Dumb Daniel

Breath of Eternity? Check.

Handsome smile? Check.

Clear throat? Check.

June was ready for the high note.

The 15-second note, which was practically impossible to sing after the intense dance break, was one of the things June dreaded during their practices.

Despite having high-tier skills, June still had limits as a human.

However, with the Breath of Eternity booster and the vocal upgrade he got earlier, June felt more confident.

He once again took the center and smiled, placing the head-worn microphone closer to his lips.

However, just as he was about to open his mouth to sing, the music abruptly stopped.

June's eyebrows momentarily raised in surprise. The audience, too, exclaimed in shock as the music stopped.

"What the hell?"

"Who the fuck turned it off?"

"Aww, it stopped at this moment? Poor EVE."

"Will they start the performance all over again?"

The technical booth was in a frenzy after the music had been muted. The other members flocked to the control booth while Daniel acted frantic as well.

"I—I don't know what happened, dude," he coolly said. "I was just chilling here, then it turned off."

June, however, knew he couldn't afford to fuck up this performance.

The silence was deafening, but without missing a beat, June took a deep breath, shoulders squared as he held his gaze on the audience.

"Laughter echoes in the oasis of our past.

A timeless reverie, forever to last."

The audience snapped their gazes back to the stage, looking at June with agape mouths.

His voice, soft yet powerful, filled the void left by the absent music. The high note meant to be supported by a low backing track now relied solely on June's vocal skill.

However, he was doubting that now.

"We can definitely do that," Nico said, crossing his arms in front of her chest.

"Jordan can," Moon teased. "You definitely can't. You have the loudest backtrack among us."

Nico glared at him. "Fuck off."

Meanwhile, Amira's eyes were practically blazing. She quickly wrote her number on a small piece of paper and tucked it into her handkerchief.

She initially didn't want to make the first move because, quite frankly, boys begged for her number—not the other way around.

However, seeing as June must be shy (he was definitely not), she decided to make the first move and hand him her handkerchief after their performance.

"Oasis, the home we perceived.

Oasis, our home, where no one leaves."

The final notes of the song lingered in the air as EVE struck a triumphant pose, basking in the cheers and applause of the exhilarated audience.

Despite the dark connotation of the song and the murderous theme it had in the music video, the audience didn't feel such horror in their performance.

It may be because the boys looked really happy while performing the song...

Or maybe they've been held captive by the song, and they were now experiencing Stockholm Syndrome.

Or maybe even both!

However, one thing was certain.

EVE's debut stage was a hit, and people have already started sharing the videos they've taken on online platforms.

EVE stayed in their positions for a while, looking straight into the audience with wide smiles on their faces.

Then, when a staff member gave them the cue, they quickly bowed and left the stage. Since they only came out with their album yesterday and were planning to showcase their B-side track on a music show, they only got to perform one song.

Others had two to three songs, but honestly, it didn't matter.

That one song made a great impact on the audience as it is.

As they went down the stage, June exchanged knowing glances with his fellow members.

They all had a common expression—the satisfaction of a successful debut written across their faces.

The stage, now absent of the traces of the sunset, held the magic of a summer evening in November—one that would be remembered by the members for years to come.
