Chapter 738 The Mentor Mission Commences

"You look like my son!" Ji-hyun exclaimed as soon as she saw June.

June looked down at his outfit and smiled.

"Is that so?" he asked. "I'm glad. That was the vibe I was going for."

"Well, not really," Ji-hyun said, scratching the back of her head. "You look like a grown-up version of my son—like a high school senior that almost all the girls are crazy about!"

June chuckled in amusement. "I'll still take it, I guess."

Amira nodded in agreement. "You look really good! I'll vote for you."

Lee Sik shook his head in amusement.

"I guess you don't mind losing if it's to June," he remarked, causing Amira's face to redden.

Just then, two familiar faces were shown on screen, causing June to raise his eyebrows in surprise.

The girls went crazy as two handsome men appeared on the stage, and the set almost broke with how chaotic they were.

"What are they doing here?" June muttered.

The other mentors turned their attention to the screen and couldn't help but watch the two boys in awe.

"Good evening, everyone," Casper greeted, appearing professional, unlike his usual attitude.

Jaeyong stood by his side, and the two of them created a picturesque view that the audience adored.

"Since June, our precious member, is going to be performing tonight, we have decided to take over the stage," Casper continued, earning squeals from the crowd.

"He called June a precious member!"

"Juniper is real!"

"My ship is sailing."

"And I'm here to keep Casper in check," Jaeyong added, making the crowd chuckle and Casper to shake his head.

The other mentors, who were watching from the inside, looked at the screen with agape mouths.

"Seriously," Ji-hyun muttered. "How good-looking is your group? I feel like you don't have a visual hole."

"They definitely don't," Gun said. "EVE was picked from the best of the best!"

Amira nodded. "It's heartbreaking that they only have three years with each other."

Lee Sik nudged Amira's shoulder. "Hey, don't say that. It makes me sad, too."

"Well, if it makes you feel better, we still have two years left in our contract," June said, which definitely didn't make the situation better.

"Has time flown that much?" Ji-hyun asked, her gaze focused on the ceiling.

June shook his head.

Fortunately, a staff member entered their room, signaling for them to go to the waiting room with the girls.

June sighed in relief as the conversation was cut short.

They arrived at the waiting room, and as expected, the girls erupted into squeals.

"Mentor Gun! You're so handsome!"

"Omo! Amira and Ji-hyun are so pretty."

"Lee Sik Senior looks legendary!"

"I want to make June into a keychain and keep him in my pocket."

"If I had a step brother like June, then I would definitely—"

"Don't finish that statement, please. You'll get canceled before your debut."

"How is he so cute?"

"He looks really pale, though. Is he okay?"

"June's so cute! He's like my little brother."

June sat next to Mei, and the latter turned to him with a pursed lip smile.

In the past days that they had been practicing together, they have developed a close relationship.

Well, June could say that he had built a good relationship with all the girls in the team, and he was genuinely rooting for all of them.

However, in the process of their practice, he had come to see how hardworking Mei truly was.

In the end, his will to give her the system strengthened even further.

It was nearing the end of June, so he felt that it was the perfect time to give her the system—right after their performance.

"Mentor Gun's team, please take the stage," the staff member said, making the girls exclaim in excitement.

They had already decided their order, and with June's main character energy, they were bound to perform last.

Well, it was actually Mei's luck—she was the one who randomly picked their order in the first place.

Mentor Gun's team took the stage, and it was obvious that they had worked hard for their performance.

They showed real street dancing along with addictive chanting melodies, making the sound echo in the ears of the audience.

The second team to go was Lee Sik's team.

After an exciting performance from Gun's team, it was time to take it down a notch with a sad ballad.

Lee Sik's voice opened the stage, and it instantly captured the hearts of the audience.

The girls, although not as equally skilled as the legendary master, were able to match his emotions perfectly.

They talked about the sadness in one's mind and how hard it was to escape such sadness. A lot of people related to their lyrics, so June thought that they were the frontrunners in the competition.

However, the next stage, which was Ji-hyun's team, changed the mood right away.

It seemed like a musical—a theatrical performance about a group of girls taking revenge on a guy who had played them all.

They sang in a strong yet alluring way, which, once again, amazed the audience.

Amira, not wanting to bring the mood down, also brought some spice into the competition.

Their performance, reminiscent of a girl group's powerful debut song, blew away the audience.

They seemed like an actual girl group!

Being the last one to perform, June's team began to feel the pressure of the amazing performances before them.

"Ah, we shouldn't have gone last," Ara said, her face red from all the overthinking.

Yeri patted her back to comfort her, although she also felt nervous.

"June's team," the staff member said. "Please head backstage and wait for your turn."

June pursed his lips and stood from his seat.

Although it wasn't obvious, he was also pretty nervous.

Not only was this his first performance with a girl group, but it was also his first performance with his sister—possibly even the last one.

"Let's do this," June said, earning cheers from the other girls.

He turned around and saw the cheery faces of the contestants, making June's heart feel warm.

"We're excited!" Ji-hyun exclaimed from the side.

"Show us what you got, June!" Gun exclaimed.

June nodded and turned to face his teammates.

Mei looked into his eyes and also nodded.

"Let's do this," she said with a small smile.
