Novel Full Chapter 499 First Episode
June didn’t know whether Fu was encouraging him to get rid of the fan or if he was praying on his downfall.
Nonetheless, June was now really determined to get rid of the sasaeng fan after seeing the benefits and the punishment for his new mission.
A tangible aspect of his stage presence would really be helpful, especially with their new comeback just right around the corner. Moreover, the punishment of having a multitude of crazy fans seemed inhumane to him.
“Fuck you, really,” June sighed.
[Hihi. Good luck!]
June plopped down on his bed and covered his body with the comforter. He was so caught up on everything happening that he nearly forgot he hadn’t been able to sleep for more than thirty hours now.
So, even with the thoughts swirling around his mind, he was able to fall into a deep slumber only a few seconds after his head hit the pillow.

June awoke with his phone going off at the speed of light. He jolted in his bed and assumed a fighting position but instantly calmed down when he realized that the sounds merely came from his phone.
He frowned and quickly saw numerous texts on his lock screen.
It made him think that Azure actually did something about last night’s incident, and that was why people were bombarding him and asking him if everything was alright.
However, he was a fool to think that Azure was a good company. They most likely kept the incident to themselves because they didn’t want to show their incompetence to the public.
Aside from that, he forgot quite an important aspect last night because of the crazy circumstances.
Pablo (Do Not Interact): You were so yummy on Hate To Love You last night! Can you please allow me to take pictures of you wearing a school uniform?
Hana: It was a bit cringy at times, but good job nonetheless! Call me when you need more acting advice.
Little Brother (Still a Devil): I puked three times, but my girl classmates can’t help talking about you. So, good job, I guess. By the way, do you know Yunha? She keeps asking me about you, and it’s annoying.
Jordan: Great job on Hate To Love You, man! The boys loved it, too (even Nico, even though he didn’t want to say it). We thought of watching it with you guys, but we heard strange sounds in your dorms, so we decided to leave you guys alone for now.
Uno: Good.
Jay (Crazy #1): I feel like I’ll squeal when we meet again. Kyah, it’s June!
Arin: Hey. You still haven’t replied to my last message. Treat me to a meal since the show did really well.
Mari: You did really, really great! All of the producers in the company already like the show.
Grandma: Come by for a meal with my old lady friends. Some of them don’t believe that you’re my grandson!
Jangmoon (Crazy #2): Bro, we haven’t spoken in a while, but I just want to say you did a good job out there. I’m doing my own thing for now, and you’re inspiring me to do even better. By the way, how’s Jay doing? I heard he’s pestering you until now. Slap the back of his head for me, will you?
June, despite feeling wired since he nearly forgot that his very first drama aired its first episode last night, smiled as he scrolled through the messages. These were the people he met all throughout his journey, and although they all had their quirks that made June want to ignore them most of the time (except for Grandma, of course), he was still very thankful that they supported him for this project.
While he was in his bed, he decided to check the comments too.
His eyebrows raised in surprise when he saw it was in the trends list with more than a hundred thousand posts.
– I thought June wasn’t going to pull it off, but he actually did. Kudos to June.
– Now, everyone will swallow their words about June’s acting. My man’s shining!
– I’m an acting major, and June didn’t really do a good job. His face did all of the work, if we’re being honest.
– A role like this isn’t even that hard. You just have to be handsome and be able to talk. June has both of those, so it would be embarrassing if he can’t even pull the role off.
– All I’m hearing is that you find June handsome.
– Here we go again with people downplaying June’s skills. Have we not learned from all the times he had proven us wrong?
– I’m afraid people like them will continue to multiply now that June and EVE are becoming more popular.
– Yummy, yummy June. I licked my screen plenty of times, and now it smells like saliva!
– I can’t wait for the next episodes. I’m not even a fan of June or EVE, but I just watched because I really liked the webtoon. Good job to the team since they captured the essence of it. I was giddy in my seats all throughout!
– But guys…are we not going to talk about the obvious…thing?
– Oh, the obvious thing? Yes, please. Let’s talk about it.
June’s smile widened as he scrolled through the comments. Despite the inevitable hate comments that he was honestly used to, there were also lots of fans and even non-fans who supported him. He was a bit confused with the last few comments he read, but he inferred that it was something about the webtoon, so he brushed it off.
Having had enough of reading, June went out of the room and saw his members all awake. It was strange since he was usually the first person to be awake. However, when he saw his drama playing on the screen, with the members’ eyes glued to it like moths to the flame, he finally realized what was going on.
The scene where Jin and Nayeon were bickering in the pool was currently showing, and the part where June fell to the pool had commenced.
The members hadn’t realized his presence just yet because they were so enamored with the scene.
“No!” Casper exclaimed. “Why did she push June into the pool?”
Jisung nodded in agreement. “She’s just as annoying in the webtoon, so the actress did a great job—”
His words were cut off when June rose from the pool, revealing his figure. The editors exaggerated his handsomeness by adding a slow-motion effect and subtle ‘glittery’ color-grading.
June sighed and was about to cover the screen since he didn’t want his members to see him all wet.
However, he halted when Akira suddenly exclaimed.
“Holy bulge!”
