Chapter 789  Brainstorming For Charity

“So, what song are we going to sing?” June asked as they gathered around the living room. The members of EVE were sat in a circle. Jay was out and about, finishing the preparations for the charity concert which will be held tomorrow. Granted, it seemed like Mr. Ong didn’t want them to thoroughly prepare for the charity concert since they had been going to events, one that Mr. Ong usually hosted for his fellow rich men, in the past few days when they should already be preparing for the charity concert. “Well, we have to perform something within our concert setlist,” Jaeyong said. “Those are the songs we’ve thoroughly prepared for, so we’ll choose among those.” The others nodded in agreement. “What about Super Rocket?” Akira excitedly chimed. “Wouldn’t that be good? It’s quite explosive.” “Yeah—explosive,” June deadpanned. “We’re going to blast their ears off. We can’t do that since the owner of the home is an old woman.” “Ooh! A mature woman,” Zeth exclaimed. “Let’s perform Red Sun then.” The other boys looked at him with raised eyebrows. Zeth looked at them with confusion. “What?” he asked. “I think the owner would appreciate it if we danced like that in front of her.” “What are we? Magic Mike?” June exclaimed. “We can’t do that in front of literal children. We’re going to get arrested by the end of it all.” “Ah, right,” Zeth said. “Children—I almost forgot.” Ren shook his head. “I can’t believe you forgot that we’ll have children as our audience.” Zeth clicked his tongue. “Well, if you’re any better, then what’s your suggestion?” “Hmm,” Ren hummed, placing his hand under his chin. “I was thinking—what if we do a cover?” he asked. “Oh, that doesn’t sound too bad,” Jaeyong said. “What song, though?” “Well, I feel like it has to be something iconic and well-known by all generations. It could even be an old song that has been popularized by a newer artist.” Then, he clapped when an idea appeared in his mind. “What about that song you sang with Lee Sik—Father!” Ren exclaimed. Once again, the group turned silent. Zeth shook his head. “And to think that you’re claiming to be better than me.” Ren clicked his tongue. “Why? What’s wrong with it?” “They’re orphans,” June deadpanned, making Ren pursed his lips. “Do you think they’ll be touched if we sang about a father that they don’t even have?” “Dang, that’s dark,” Jisung muttered. Casper raised his hand, about to make a suggestion, when the other members turned to him and said a resounding, “No.” “We need to do something light,” Sehun chimed. “Something fun and sweet. So, let’s perform First Love instead.” June contemplated, thinking that it could actually be a good idea. However, with Akira’s statement, his positive thoughts went down the drain. “We would look like pedophiles,” Akira remarked, making Sehun click his tongue. “Why do you have to make it weird?” Sehun groaned.

Akira raised his hands in surrender. “I’m just telling the truth! I don’t want to sing ‘first love, first love’ to a bunch of children.” “He has a point,” Jisung said. “I always have a point,” Akira chimed. “Which is usually pointless,” Ren added, making Akira click his tongue. “Anyway,” Akira said. “I think we can sing Oasis and Luster.” Casper instantly brightened up with the mention of Luster. “Aside from it being songs that our members contributed in making, it’s also the songs that we are most well-known for.” “Besides, it has good meaning,” he said. “Luster because the children shine as bright as diamonds,” June butted in. “And Oasis because they’re a treasure in the dry, harsh world.” Akira nodded, appearing impressed. “What he said.” Ren chuckled. “Those weren’t your original reasons, I believe.” “I was going to say that Luster because it sounds cute and Oasis because it sounds fun,” he added. “Yeah, let’s stick with June’s meaning,” Jaeyong chuckled. “It’s settled then,” he continued. “We’ll perform Oasis and Luster. It’s a good thing that we’ve already practiced the routine thoroughly before, so we wouldn’t have any problem performing it.”

“Wouldn’t that be too short, though?” Jisung asked. “We only have a short set,” June said. “The children are also going to perform and show off their artwork, so we’ll just be the opening act.” “But didn’t they give us 15 minutes?” Akira asked. June nodded. “Then, it’s too short,” Jisung confirmed. “I think we need to add one more song—something that the children would appreciate.” Just then, Casper raised his hand once more. “Please give me a chance. Please!” he exclaimed, almost going down on his knees. “I swear—if this is some nonsense suggestion, you’re banned from speaking until tomorrow,” Akira said. “It’s not,” Casper insisted. “It’s really the perfect song!” Casper looked too pitiful in June’s eyes, so he sighed and nodded. “Just let him be, guys.” Ren turned to him, wiggling his eyebrows. “Are you developing a soft spot for Casper?” he asked. June clicked his tongue and glared at him, making Ren chuckle in amusement. “Let’s hear it, Casper,” Jaeyong said to the excited man. Casper nodded and settled back in his spot. “Earlier, I was about to suggest that we sing Luster because it reminded me of Luther, who is a cat, and children really like cats—” “Back to the topic,” June said, already feeling impatient. “Sorry,” Casper chuckled. “However, we’re already singing that song, so another one popped into my mind. I think this might be the most genius thing I’ve ever thought of in my entire life.” “Well, that’s big,” Akira said. “What is it?” Casper finally said the title of the song. For a moment, the boys were all silent. Then, wide smiles appeared on their faces…

…except for one person—June. “That’s ridiculous,” June said. “We can’t perform that song!” “Why not?” Jaeyong asked. “We definitely can,” Akira said. “And you’ll be the center of it.” “Who’s in favor of that?” Jisung asked, and the seven other members raised their hands. June pursed his lips before glaring at his teammates. “I’m not getting out of this, am I?” “Nope!”  saʀᴄh th NovelFull.net website on Ggl to access chapters of nvels early and in the highest quality.
