Chapter 708 The Grand Opening

Chapter 708 The Grand Opening

The arena was cloaked in darkness. The crowd held their breaths as they couldn't see anything in front of them.

There was only one thing running inside their minds—the show was about to start.

For most people, this was the first time they were going to watch EVE's live performance.

They had drastically risen in popularity in the past month, and they hadn't performed live ever since.

So, the anticipation was even greater this time around.

Meanwhile, the people outside the venue and those in their respective homes who weren't fortunate enough to secure a ticket, watched the livestream on their gadgets.

- To all the people inside right now—how does it feel to be god's favorite?

- Goodness, I'm not even there, and my heart is palpitating.

The silence extended for a couple more moments.

Then, without a warning, a loud, bounding sound choked through the space. It reverberated through the walls and into the very bones of those present.

Haze began to seep from the edges of the stage, swirling around and sending goosebumps down their spines.

Those at the back couldn't quite see it, but due to the silence of the venue, they could somewhat hear its sound.

From the darkness, the outlines of the members of EVE started to form.

They stood in perfect stillness, their silhouettes sharp against the backdrop of mist and shadow.

The audience erupted into cheers, but the members remained motionless, with their features still hidden from view.

- Shut the hell up, everyone!

- Goodness, the screams. It sounds like it's all little girls.

- I'm jealous. I'm jealous of the little girls.

- Seriously, one cheer is enough. They should stay quiet so we can watch the boys better.

Fortunately, people started quieting down after a while.

However, that was the calm before the storm—the moment before the explosion of light and sound that would bring the night to life.

One by one, the lights flickered on.

The makeup artist was against it since the company hadn't agreed to a semi-permanent change, but June took it upon himself to shave a part of his eyebrows himself.

The makeup artist was shocked, and so were the other members, but they couldn't deny that he suited it very well.

It also felt familiar to June since he had a similar look in his previous life. However, it was due to a permanent scar.

A small frown formed on June's face as he heard the discrepancy in the volume of the cheers.

However, the very action made the audience cheer even louder.

It was already expected since he had the most solo stans in the audience, but it still left a bitter taste in his mouth.

Somehow, he wanted to tell the audience to give them the same treatment. However, he knew that it would only ruin their performance.

So, with that, he just decided to show them how great of a group EVE truly was—each and every one of them.

Each member of EVE stood revealed, their handsomeness undeniable.

- Is it possible to have a group filled with so many visuals?

- When people ask why EVE is so popular, just show them this screenshot. Then, catch them off guard and show them their talents, too.

- They're all god's favorites.

As the final light clicked on, bathing the stage in brilliance, a collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

The members of EVE, now fully visible, stood poised and ready.

The camera finally zoomed out, showing the audience their entire get-up.

At that moment, the screams became even louder—especially those at the front, making those at the back confused.

The people watching on their phones didn't know why the crowd was going crazy.

"What the heck is happening?" Jia asked. "I can't see anything."

"I swear. The cameraman needs to get fired," Bora said, clicking her tongue. "And what's with the lights? It's weirdly dim!"

Jia's friends huddled over the screen of her tablet, and when the camera zoomed in closer, they finally realized the reason behind their screams.

"The time has come," Jia said, looking up at the sky with her fist inside her mouth.

"They're wearing crop tops."
