Chapter 958: Naming Wars
“So, what are we meeting for?” Akira asked as he sat in their new office. It was bigger than the one they had in Azure, and it even had complimentary snacks!
Switching to a new company was definitely the right choice!
Jaeyong pulled down the whiteboard and opened the marker.
“Ah, that smells nice,” Zeth smiled as the scent of ink wafted through his senses.
Ren looked at his friend, weirded out, but he didn’t say anything more because that wasn’t the weirdest thing about Zeth, unfortunately.
Jaeyong cleared his throat. “So, we all know that November is coming soon. They would also be releasing the comeback details by the first week. Almost everything is finished at this point, but we still don’t have our name back.”
June pursed his lips. Lena had already collaborated with Haruto to blackmail the other companies, but it was still taking a long time due to the legal processes.
“We’re hoping we can get our name back as soon as possible, but in the event that doesn’t happen, we still need a backup name,” Jaeyong continued.
The others groaned.
“I don’t want to think of a new name,” Akira complained.
“Then, we’re not going to have a comeback,” Jaeyong deadpanned, causing Akira to pout.
“Come on,” he continued. “You guys are considered geniuses in the industry! We can come up with a cool name.”
The members turned silent as they each came up with a new name for their group.
Akira clicked his tongue, standing from his seat and slamming his hands on the table, capturing everyone’s attention.
“I believe that the name ‘EVE’ still suits us the most. So, why don’t we retain the name, but instead of spelling it with two E’s, we spell it with two 3’s?”
The boys turned silent once more. Jaeyong frowned before turning to the board and writing his suggestion.
3V3.
Jisung tilted his head to the side in confusion. “What’s three versus three?” he innocently asked.
Akira clicked his tongue. “That’s EVE, you idiot!”
“Really?” Jisung asked with wide eyes.
“Why does it look so…cheesy?” Zeth pointed out. “I, for sure, don’t want to be in a group named 3V3!”
“It’s the same pronunciation!” Akira exclaimed.
“Nah,” Zeth shook his head. “That kind of name is designed for groups who are bound to fail.”
“Agreed,” Ren nodded. “With one look at the name, I can already tell that it’s going to be a flop group.”
Akira clicked his tongue and plopped back on his chair. Jaeyong sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.
“Alright, does anybody else have any suggestions?”
Casper raised his hand. “Meow?” he asked.
The boys collectively sighed. “Alright, let’s not take any suggestions from Casper for this meeting.”
“Besides, didn’t a group debut with that name already?” Ren asked.
“That’s different,” Akira pointed out. “They spelled it as M30W, with the number 30 in the middle.”
“Why?” Sehun chuckled. “Because they have 30 members?”
“Yup,” the younger members of EVE said in unison, causing Sehun’s eyes to widen in shock.
“Any more?” Jaeyong asked, already feeling frustrated.
“Hmm, how about LIZ?” Zeth asked, capturing their attention. The others were intrigued.
“LIZ,” Jaeyong muttered. “That’s…actually not that bad. What does it stand for?”
“Lizard,” Zeth deadpanned.
The others’ faces fell.
“Because you know,” Zeth tried to explain. “We can regenerate despite having our tails cut off!”
“That’s the fucking worst idea I’ve heard in my entire life,” Akira said, pointing at Zeth. “Whatever,” Zeth muttered, crossing his arms in front of his chest. “Still better than 3V3.”
“Ooh! I have one,” Jisung happily chimed in.
“Go ahead,” Jaeyong said, feeling tired.
“Well, Akira sent me this story a while back. I think it’s Alpha Jaeyong x Omega June. I didn’t read the story, but it was really popular, and fans seemed to like it a lot,” he said.
June, who had no clue what those words meant, listened intently.
Meanwhile, the other members who knew exactly what Jisung was saying couldn’t close their mouths in shock.
“So, I was wondering, what if we named ourselves Alphaxomega? AXO for short?” he
excitedly asked.
Jaeyong pursed his lips, wanting to break down in front of his group. He then turned to Akira and glared at him.
“Do not send things like those to Jisung ever again.”
Akira covered his mouth as he burst into laughter. “I didn’t think he would take it so seriously! Besides, it was really well-written. Sometimes, I wonder why such good authors write things like that. They could easily write a best-selling book instead!”
Jisung was confused as the other members strongly disagreed with his suggestion.
“Why? What does it mean?” he asked Ren.
Ren merely shook his head. “You don’t want to know,” he seriously said, making Jisung even more confused.
Just then, Sehun raised his hand, causing Jaeyong to sigh in relief.
“Finally,” he muttered. If there was one person he could trust on serious suggestions, then it would be Sehun. The two of them were the oldest in the group, so they could relate to each
other a lot.
“Sehun,” he said. “Do you have a suggestion?”
“Yes,” he smiled. “I’ve been thinking about it. We all have new Navel accounts, right? June
was the first one to make it, and he has the most striking username.”
“What was the word before your name again, June?” Sehun asked.
“Skevedi,” June answered, causing the other members to freeze.
Sehun hadn’t blatantly said his suggestion, but the others already had a hunch.
“Yeah, that!” Sehun happily exclaimed. “Doesn’t it sound pretty cool?”
The other members were about to disagree, but Jaeyong suddenly hummed in agreement.
“Yeah, it does sound pretty cool,” he muttered.
Akira stood from his seat once more. “Oh, we are not doing this,” he muttered.
“Don’t you guys know what that means?” he asked.
Sehun, Jaeyong, and June turned to each other with confusion.
“Oh, please save us,” Akira muttered. “Let’s schedule this meeting for another day.”
“Agreed!” Ren enthusiastically exclaimed.
“We don’t have much time,” Jaeyong frowned. “I really do think that Skevedi is—”
“Meow?”
“Oh, for goodness’ sake, Casper!”
