Novel Full Chapter 489: The Infected One
?’Sometimes, the most beautiful things come when you least expect them to.’
June was in a good mood as he made his way back to the dorms with Casper.
The smile couldn’t be shaken off his face even when he saw his members’ and their manager’s worried faces when they opened the door.
Jay sighed deeply in relief and practically collapsed on the couch.
Meanwhile, Jaeyong stood and inspected the two for any sort of injuries.
“What the heck happened? Why’d you run off so suddenly?” he exclaimed.
June sighed and removed Jaeyong’s hands from his body.
“We weren’t even gone for too long. We just had some important matters to attend to.”
Casper nodded in agreement.
“How did you guys even find out that we were out and about?”
“Well, for one, you weren’t here,” Jisung said.
“And two, Jay found a post that looked like the two of you posted on Navel,” he quickly added.
“What?” June asked, his eyebrows furrowing.
Jisung nudged Akira, so the latter pulled out his phone and showed them a post that, indeed, resembled the two of them very much.
It was actually the two of them.
Casper and June were photographed in very close proximity. It was the time when Casper introduced June and Luther to each other, so the cat was brought near June’s face, which naturally brought Casper closer, too.
June face palmed and glared at Casper.
“I thought you said no one had photographed us!” he said.
The members turned to each other in surprise.
“Wait, this is really the two of you?” Zeth asked.
“So, the cat must be…”
“Luther!” they all simultaneously exclaimed.
“You finally met Luther?” Ren asked, also wanting to meet the black cat.
June sighed before nodding.
“Was he as cute as Casper described him as?” Sehun asked.
The members all turned to June with expectant expressions. They practically knew Luther’s life story, his quirks, and cute acts because of Casper’s stories. They even know the story of his birth!
“Yes,” June quietly muttered.
Casper smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up.
“I knew it. No one can resist Luther’s charm!” the tall idol exclaimed.
“I was right,” Jay suddenly stood, pacing back and forth like a madman.
“I should have followed my guts and went after you after all.”
“I’m a bad manager,” he continuously whispered, now having a dilemma.
They all watched their manager but didn’t bother comforting him.
“It seems like not only Jay thinks this is the two of you, though,” Akira said.
“Look! The replies are filled with astras.”
June read the replies along with his other members and almost regretted doing so.
– Omo. Doesn’t this strangely look like Casper and June from EVE?
– I wasn’t planning on saying it, but now that somebody else has, then yes.
– And the black cat…what if it’s Luther?
June felt a shiver run down his spine as their fans accurately predicted what had happened. People on the internet are really one of the scariest creatures out there.
– Aww, that’s so cute! #LoveWins
– Guys, what if this is really June and Casper?
– Then, I’m going to die. I’m a #JunePer shipper for life.
– As long as I’m alive, #JunePer shall thrive.
– Nah, #JiJune is still the best.
– Fuck off. This isn’t about you. We love Casper and June the most!
– I will draw them furry fanart. Go follow my page!
“Alright, that’s enough internet for the day,” June said, forcefully turning off Akira’s phone.
He knew that their team wouldn’t be immune to the subgroup of fans that every fandom had—shippers; but it was still a bit strange to see them when they were about you.
June didn’t have much of a problem with it unless it got really weird…
And some people…
Some people are very, very weird.
“But it was getting really good!” Akira exclaimed.
“We should have visited their page to check if what they were saying was true,” Jay said from behind them.
June turned around and glared at Jay.
“Bad manager,” June scolded, making Jay go back into a frenzy.
“So, what even happened with Luther?” Ren asked, going back to the topic.
“He was stuck on a tree,” Casper said.
“So June climbed up and got him down for me!”
Zeth chuckled, leaning back against the couch.
“I can’t believe all of that happened, and we still didn’t get to start our song,” he sighed.
Sehun nodded in agreement, also sitting back down on the couch.
Sehun nodded in agreement, also sitting back down on the couch.
“Well, that killed the vibe. It’s due tomorrow, by the way.”
Jay snapped out of his dilemma once more and showed the members the multiple notifications on his phone.
“And that Tiddy guy keeps on sending me messages, pestering me to pressure you guys to finish the song faster.”
June smirked as he brought out his phone and clicked on his audio files. His fingers hovered above the play button as he gazed at his teammates.
“Hey, guys,” he started off, capturing their attention.
“What?” Zeth asked.
“Remember Casper’s suggestion about our song?” June suddenly asked.
Ren frowned in confusion.
“About making a song about the zoo?”
“Not that,” June said.
“The other one.”
“The cat one?” Akira asked.
June nodded.
“Yes, the cat one.”
“Like that makes it better,” Akira chuckled, making the others, including Casper, chuckle, too.
“Yeah,” Casper said, scratching the back of his head.
“I must have been out of my mind at that moment—”
01:51
“You’re always out of your mind,” Akira said, annoyingly smiling.
Casper continued to smile despite all of this.
“Thanks,” he accepted the compliment.
“Anyways, I couldn’t really think of anything except for Luther during that moment, so I suggested it from the back of my mind. It was definitely ridiculous,” Casper continued tp chuckle.
“It’s not ridiculous,” June suddenly intercepted, surprising his members.
“It’s not?” Casper asked, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion.
“It’s not,” June confirmed.
“In fact, I think it’s a genius idea!”
He was met with the sound of crickets.
“What if we really made a song centered around cats?” June exclaimed.
Akira leaned closer to Jisung and whispered—-
“I think Casper infected June.”
