Chapter 287 Make You Bald
June swiftly pushed off the overbearing man, stood up, and took a step back.
"What are you doing here?" June asked with wide eyes.
Pablo smirked as he stood up, dusting off the sand from his clothes. "What do you think I'm doing here, darling? I'm the photographer, of course!"
Pablo looked at the equally shocked faces of the other members of EVE, his expression instantly brightening after seeing their handsome faces. To add to that, they were all wearing white—his favorite color!
"I feel blessed. You are all so handsome, but June's still my favorite," he boasted. Then, Pablo looked back at June, intently observing him.
"You got even more handsome, too. It's like you're evolving every time I see you!" Pablo exclaimed.
"Well, that's enough," Chul said, cutting their conversation. "This is Choi Pablo, your photographer for today. I'm sure all of you already know him."
Jisung enthusiastically nodded. "I can't believe I'm having my photos taken by THE Choi Pablo."
Pablo chuckled, obviously flattered. "I'll do some of my magic on your group to ensure a successful debut. I usually don't take gigs like this. No, I really don't take gigs like this, but I can't pass the opportunity to take pictures of my muse," he said, referring to June.
"Hoho's your Muse?" Chul asked with a frown.
Pablo turned to Chul, almost getting whiplashed. "Hoho? Who the fuck is Hoho?"
"Him," Chul said. "It's his name from now on."
Pablo looked at June with wide eyes, pity evident in his gaze. "Oh gosh. I can't…I want to cry."
"There's no time for that," Chul said, casting Pablo to the side. "Zeth, Casper, go to hair and make-up since the two of you will be having your solo and duo shoots. Afterward, the other members will go."
Jisung raised his hand. "But, wouldn't it be better for June to go with Zeth since the two of them ranked first and second?" he asked. Casper nodded in agreement.
Chul sighed. "It's what has been written," he explained. "Zeth and Casper will be the first pair. Then, Sehun will pair up with June."
"Sounds fine to me," June said, not really minding it. He wasn't ready to get his photos taken anyway.
"Good," Chul smiled. "Now, go, since we have a tight schedule."
The eight members went back to their tent, where two make-up artists were already waiting.
The two young women blushed upon the arrival of the eight handsome men.
Zeth and Casper took their seats in front of the mirror while the others freely conversed.
Meanwhile, June stood in front of the mirror and tried to simulate a photoshoot.
Smiling had become easier for him. However, it couldn't be denied that he still wasn't used to getting his photos taken.
He also tried other facial expressions, but they just turned out to be more awkward. Was there a booster for being good at photoshoots?
[Nope.]
***
Five beautiful girls walked on the sandy beach, their radiant skin glowing under the yellow sun. However, there was an underlying gloominess in their aura, making even the sun ashamed to shine down on them.
"I thought being on vacation would fill the void in my heart," Jia absent-mindedly said as she helped Bora assemble their beach blanket. "But now, I feel even lonelier under this bright fucking sun."
"Hey, don't curse at the sun. He's just doing his job," Na-ri said.
"Yeah, he's doing such a great job that he's here until the end of November," Bora bitterly said, plopping down on the blanket.
"It's not his fault, though," Soo-min chimed. "It's the actions of the humans on this Earth."
"Yeah, you're right," Bora said. "Maybe we do deserve to get burned by the sun."
Wei chuckled and gracefully sat down. "You guys are such Debbie downers. We came here to beat the heat, eat some ice cream, and maybe meet some cute boys! Don't look so devastated."
"Well, I am devastated," Jia said. "The love of my life hasn't updated after the finale of Rising Stars. I took the show for granted, and now, I'm miserable."
"Cheer up," Soo-min patted her back. "They're coming back very soon."
"How soon are we talking?" Jia asked.
"I don't know," Soo-min shrugged. "Zeth said that it'll be very soon. They can't debut right away. They must be in the midst of preparations."
Jia sighed and tucked her chin on top of her knees. "You're right. I guess I'm just a bit sad that June doesn't have a personal account. The other members post from time to time, but we basically don't have anything about June. Is he actually the center of EVE?"
"Ren posted a photo this morning," Bora said. "I think June's hair was captured in that photo."
"Where?" Jia asked, automatically perking up.
Bora brought out her phone and showed Jia the photo. Indeed, there was a pink tuft in the corner of the photo, making Jia instantly melt.
"Oh, gosh. He's so cute," she whispered.
Na-ri looked at her, weirded out. "It's his hair. It might even get mistaken as his pubes with how little is showing."
Wei glared at Na-ri. "You're disgusting! But hey…do you think June dyed his pubes pink?"
"What even is this conversation?" Soo-min exclaimed. "Just let Jia be. She's having withdrawal symptoms, so seeing even a strand of his hair already makes her happy."
"Honestly, I can't blame her," Soo-min continued. "I'm the same with Zeth. But the thing is, Zeth posts a lot…and I mean, A LOT of his selfies, so I'm always well-fed."
"I guess we're all just crazy fangirls, aren't we?" Wei asked. "How lucky would we be if we just saw them right here and right now."
"Super lucky," Bora said. "I'd shave my head if that happens."
Jia, who finally snapped out of her trance after staring the photo for a couple of minutes, turned to the side when she heard a commotion.
"That's right. That's it. Beautiful, my boy!" someone exclaimed.
Jia turned to the side and saw a bunch of cameras and a familiar-looking boy leaning against a huge rock.
"Oh, he's handsome," she muttered under her breath as she gazed at the black-haired boy.
Then, it hit her.
Jia's eyes widened in surprise when she finally recognized who it was.
"Sehun?"
She slapped herself to see if she was dreaming, but to her surprise, nothing happened.
"Oh gosh," Jia said.
"What?" Bora asked.
"Bring out the scissors and clippers because I'm going to make you bald."
