Chapter 323 Fandom
"Shoot to the Top! Hello, everyone. We're LEVEL-UP!" Jaeyong led their team greeting, all of them bowing and lifting their heads at the same time.
As they said their greeting, they all pointed to the heavens, signifying their intent of making it to the top. Currently, the eight members of EVE were gathered in Azure's practice room. It was a formal live stream with a proper camera, lights, reflectors, and boom microphones. They had just finished recording their dance practice, so most of them already felt tired. However, seeing more than 100,000 people watching them on their live stream quickly woke them up. - I missed you, guys! - Girl, we see them almost every day because of their promotions. - I need to see EVE every second of the day. - I think this is the first time they revealed their official greeting? It's so cool.
- We'll definitely shoot to the top!
- What if they shoot inside me…
"Oh gosh. You guys are quickly rising," Sehun said. "There's 150,00 viewers right now." "Wow, as expected from our starlights," Zeth said. Casper clicked his tongue and nudged Zeth's shoulder. "They're not our starlights anymore." "Ah, you're right! This isn't Rising Stars," Zeth chuckled. "But that's why we came here today. We're going to be revealing very important details about our fandom." - Is the lightstick coming out yet? "Lightstick?" Jisung asked, turning to Chul. Chul shook his head. "We're still developing our lightstick!" Jisung shyly said. "Right," Jaeyong backed him up. "Actually, Azure is holding a special event for our lightstick. You can send in your designs to the attached link on their website, and if your design is picked, you're going to be sent a special signed album from us!" "I'll make sure to kiss it well, my lovelies," Akira winked. Jaeyong shook his head while the comment section went crazy. - Akira winked at me. It's official: we're married. - What do you mean, married? I literally have our marriage papers in my room right now. - Tsk. Just marriage papers? I have our child on my lap right now. - Oh, wow. I can't beat that. - Where's the hospital when you need it? "We're actually going to tell you about the fandom name today," June said, wanting to get it over with so they can rest before heading back to the TV station for the live show. "Your fandom name is—" Akira covered June's mouth before he could reveal their fandom name. "Wow! You've said that in such a thrilling way," Akira sarcastically said. June sighed and removed Akira's hand from his mouth. "We actually have to tell them other important stuff before getting to the fandom name," Ren chimed. - I swear, you all became Minho at one point (except for June). Stop edging us and give us what we want! - Just tell us our name. I'm having an identity crisis. "First, let's start off with the leader of the group," Zeth said. "I think it's pretty obvious from our greetings and the events we've done, but I think we should formally announce it." "It's Jaeyong," June nonchalantly said. They all turned to June, face-palming since he once again said it in a non-exciting way. Jaeyong chuckled before turning to the camera. "That's right, it's me! I'll lead these silly boys from now on," he smiled. - Why not June? He's the center. - Yeah, or Sehun? He's the oldest. - We love leader Jaeyong! Sehun saw one of the comments and raised his hands in surrender. "Don't tag me in this leader thing, guys. I'm not a natural leader." "They're saying you're the oldest, though," Akira teased. "Don't be so old-fashioned now," Sehun said. "Just because I'm the oldest in the group doesn't automatically mean I should be the leader." "Yeah!" Ren agreed. "And June didn't want to be the leader, right?" June calmly nodded. "I can't lead these little kids," June deadpanned. "Hey!" "We're not little kids!" "I'm a big boy." Jaeyong shook his head, now regretting the responsibility of taking care of such a rowdy bunch. - I understand June now. - Yeah, I love EVE, but being their leader feels like I'll be babysitting all day. - Jaeyong's perfect for this! He's such a great leader. "But in all honesty," June said. "Jaeyong suits the leader position the most in this team. He's a silent worker, but his efforts are very apparent." Akira nodded in agreement. "He's a bit of a crybaby, but it's alright! He's our great leader."
Jaeyong clicked his tongue before moving on to the next agenda. "Our fandom color is up now," he said. "I saw many theories online," Casper said. "But most of them were wrong! I was hoping that it's black, though, but it's not." Zeth weirdly looked at him. "Why would you even want a black lightstick? It won't even be seen at night. "My cat's black," he nonchalantly said. - Oh my gosh. Is it the famous Luther? - I've been hearing so much about this cat, but I've never seen him until now. - Show us Luther! Casper chuckled. "I'll show him to you when I get home. We're very busy right now, so we don't have the opportunity to go home." "Going back to our fandom color," Jisung said, "it's a color that June likes very much." June pursed his lips, not denying it. "Do the honors, June," Jisung nudged him.
"It's pink," June said. "That's right," Jaeyong excitedly said. "Our fandom color will be pink. Cotton candy pastel pink, to be exact. We're going with the lighter pink since it's easier on the eyes." - Pink for a boy group? Heck yes! - My favorite color is pink. My favorite member is June. I'm so happy right now <3. - We're definitely going to make a pink ocean in the year-end awards next year! - Let's go, pink boys! "And it's finally time for the most awaited announcement of the night," Sehun exclaimed.
"Are you guys ready to hear your fandom name?" - Yes, we've been ready since the very start! - Hit us! - I'm ready to be reborn. "We thought really hard about your name," Ren said. "It was definitely difficult to think about something that would represent our team name—LEVEL-UP, our abbreviation—EVE, and the show we came from—Rising Stars. However, we were able to come up with a perfect name." "Jisung was the one who came up with it," he continued. "Our little baby chick is such a genius!" Jisung blushed as he hid his face from the camera. "Say it, Ji," Akira said. "You're not allowed to hate on your name, alright? You almost became STEVEs." "That was your idea," Ren sighed. Akira smiled. "It would have been funny." "Jisung, just say it," June said. Jisung nodded as he faced the camera. "The official fandom name will be…" "Astra!"
