Chapter 615 A Great Challenge Awaits

"Look, Jia!" Bora exclaimed once she saw Azure Entertainment's latest post.

"They're recruiting new trainees for the fifth season of Rising Stars!" she said, shoving her phone toward Jia's face.

"Shut up," Jia said, pushing her phone away and proceeding to look at historical edits of June on Navel. "I'm doing more important things."

"Oh, come on. I know you've been reading June fan fiction set in an ancient world for three hours now," Bora deadpanned.

Jia narrowed her eyes, acting offended. "It's getting good, alright! June is about to snatch the throne despite starting as a servant. The power dynamics are immaculate!"

Bora rolled her eyes and snatched her phone before turning it off.

"Well, before any of that, let's talk about the new season of Rising Stars!" Bora exclaimed.

"What does that have to do with me?" Jia asked.

"They're not only looking for trainees training in K-pop companies, but they're also looking for individual trainees. This is your time to finally become an idol!" Bora said.

Jia looked at her like she had gone crazy.

"First of all, it has never been my dream to become an idol."

"Second, I feel like being an idol is going to suck balls. Unless you're really into performing, it's going to be so draining! Imagine training for years, paying so you can perform on music shows, the hectic schedules, and the standard of being perfect! Being an idol is not for the weak," she continued.

Bora couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"And we're forgetting the last most important thing here—I can't hold a tune at all," Jia said.

"At least you're pretty," Bora said. "That seems to be the only criteria for some idols these days."

Jia shook her head and grabbed her phone once more.

"Anyway, I'll be better off being a fan. I will watch the new season, though. I am a sucker for survival shows."

"Count me in," Bora said. "I'm ready to stan a girl group!"

"Anyway, we'll still be filming the scenes including Taehyun, Hana, and the other clan leaders. I just called all of you here for the formal announcement. Oh, and you can also take this time to practice if you would want," Risa said.

Director Jam nodded, his gaze still focused on June.

June smirked as he read through his script. He didn't even have to do anything, and he was already taking away Lin Zhi's limelight! He glanced at the bitter actor, his smirk widening when he saw his reddening face.

Just then, June was called by Director Jam, making him even more confused.

"Yes, Director?" he asked.

"Do you need help practicing your lines?" Director Jam asked in a hopeful tone.

"Umm," June stalled. "I think I need to read through them first."

"But if you need help, you can come and approach me, alright? We'll make your character the greatest side character to ever exist!"

June scratched the back of his head and merely nodded awkwardly.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhi was still staring at the script, his hands clenched around the paper. However, his thoughts were cut short when he heard EVE's song coming from one of the phones on the table.

He clicked his tongue and shook his head. That just put him in a much worse mood!

He glanced at the phone and saw a plain, white background with a single red gummy bear in the very middle as the lockscreem. It didn't take a genius for Lin Zhi to know that it was June.

Then, it clicked on him. He was compelled to walk to his phone and look at his incoming call.

Lin Zhi was expecting something...anything. He hoped to find some dirt so he could finally bring June to the ground.

However, he was quickly disappointed when he saw a vague contact name displayed on the screen.

"Baldie," he muttered, shaking his head in disappointment.

"Baldie," he repeated, louder this time, causing his eyes to go wide.

"No way," Lin Zhi said, a small smirk arising from his face.

"So, that's where you've been getting your information, huh?"
