Chapter 864: Random Play Dance (2)
– Seriously, June needs to step up so he can show these haters that he’s a great dancer.
– My Pookie is humble, so he’s staying in the back.
– Well, now that more and more people are getting eliminated, there’s a chance that he’s going to be seen better.
Mimi frowned as she needed to crane her neck to look at June. She had been paying attention to him since the very beginning, and although it was hard to see him, Mimi could say that she was impressed.
It felt like he had improved his dancing since the last time she had seen him.
The tension increased as they waited for the next song to play.
With each song, the number of contestants decreased. They started with 40, and they were now down to 20 with the 7th song playing through the speakers.
– They’re on their 7th song, and Joonie’s still killing it.
– He mentioned once that he liked dancing, but this? He’s like a hidden ace!
– Even though he’s not the best dancer in the bunch, my eyes keep drawing toward him.
– That’s because he’s the most unexpectedly good dancer. He looks a little bit clumsy, and the members of EVE are definitely better than him, but our expectations for him are significantly exceeded, and that’s why we’re looking forward to him so much.
Joonie, still in front, had quickly become the star of the show. With every song, his confidence grew. He was very much interested in K-pop, and since he didn’t have much work as an amateur actor, he practiced quite a lot songs during his free time.
‘Make Love by Bittys’ started to play, a sultry and sensual song that immediately set a different tone in the garden.
“I love this song!” Mimi exclaimed, already craning her neck to look at June.
Mei, who had been struggling with the more complex routines, quickly stepped back, shaking her head.
“This one’s not for me,” she admitted. She still had shortcomings as a dancer, and although she was familiar with the choreography, she stepped back, not wanting to make a fool of himself.
The garden felt emptier, so the stakes were higher. The eliminated ones from EVE included Akira and Ren, who had given their best but were eliminated with a girl group song.
Meanwhile, the main and lead dancers from BOYMYSTIC and GIRLS’ EVOLUTION were still in the game.
June, still lingering in the back, hadn’t drawn much attention. The crowd was still large enough to provide cover for him.
The next song, “Rawr” by XO started-a track that most male trainees knew well. The beat and the choreography mimicked that of a hungry man who roared for love.
Keira visibly faltered as the song progressed.
She had reached her limit and quietly took a seat, followed by Yeri, who, despite loving the song, couldn’t keep up with the choreography.
– No, my girls!
– None of the boys are sitting, though.
– This song is a staple for male trainees! I heard it’s one of the songs they need to learn the choreography of when they enter a company!
June hadn’t heard the song in a while, but as the beat dropped, his body instinctively remembered the moves. Muscle memory kicked in, and he moved with ease, blending in with the others.
In fact, it felt like his body was on autopilot. But still, he stayed in the background, almost invisible to the judges.
There were only 14 contestants left when the ninth song began to play. The judges, who had started to chat amongst themselves, became stricter with each passing round.
“Everyone’s doing so well,” Ramil PD clapped, impressed that there were still plenty of contestants despite nearly half of their song roster being played.
However, the next song was guaranteed to significantly lessen the number of contestants. – Oh no! It’s ‘Very Fragile by Le Syrup!’
– I love this song, but the chorus is a little bit complicated.
– They had a more viral song in the album, so it would be harder to dance to this song.
It was a relatively new song, and as the first notes played, a few contestants exchanged nervous glances. Sehun, one of the stronger dancers, scratched the back of his neck and sat down, deciding not to risk it.
“Welcome to the loser’s club,” Akira greeted as their oldest member sat.
Two members from BOYMYSTIC followed suit, along with a couple of the remaining girls from GIRLS’ EVOLUTION.
June, however, stayed in the game.
He closed his eyes briefly, channeling his focus inward. The song played in his mind, and he visualized the choreography, recalling the movements and transitions.
When he opened his eyes, he began to move, mimicking the dance as it replayed in his mind. His execution was flawless, yet he remained in the shadows, unnoticed by most.
– I can’t see June from behind Zeth!
– That’s because they’re so synchronized.
As the song ended, only nine contestants were left standing.
Zeth, Sasha, Mina, Jeemin, Joonie, Jisung, Jordan, Cera, and June.
“Oh, that song wiped out a lot of people,” Ramil PD remarked, his voice pleasantly surprised. The eliminated contestants, now judges, murmured in agreement.
Nico noticed something odd.
“Wait, did June dance at all?” he asked, doubt creeping into his mind.
“He’s been so ambiguous these past rounds,” an actor agreed. “I haven’t seen him much.”
June popped up from behind Zeth. “I danced to all the songs!” he said, defending himself. Ramil PD chuckled. “I barely noticed you, boy. Are you hiding behind Zeth because he has a buff body?”
June shook his head while the others laughed. Joonie glanced at him with a semi-smug expression.
“Alright,” Ramil PD said. “We’ll give you another chance, but you have to step up for this next one.”
For the first time in the game, June stepped forward, and he was now in the middle along with
Joonie.
June waited for the song to play.
All eyes were on him now, so he needed to show that he had played the game fairly.
The next song began to play, and as the first beats of ‘Slippery by Smooch of Death’ were
heard through the garden.
The eliminated contestants exchanged looks of surprise.
“This song literally came out last week!” one of the remaining trainees exclaimed.
“But it’s famous on LikLok,” Ara pointed out.
The contestants remained standing as the song began.
The newness of the song had caught many off guard, and those who hadn’t kept up with the
latest trends were at a disadvantage.
Joonie, who had been so confident earlier, looked stiff and unsure. However, he was one of the contestants who still knew the dance.
Cera sat along with Zeth, and with that, only seven of them remained.
Meanwhile, June stood motionless for a moment as the pre-chorus played, his mind racing.
“June, you’re in great danger of being eliminated,” Ramil PD announced.
The pre-chorus continued to play, so he quickly channeled his mind to think of the
choreography.
As the chorus neared, it finally clicked. “Twerking,” he realized.
This was the song that had twerking!
