908 The Original Old Lady Killer
"Come on," Ramil PD said. "It's time for us to go to the gathering." The dejected group lifted their heads. "We're going?" Hana asked. "Yes," Ramil PD said. "Someone produced the cupcakes...even much more than required," he muttered the last statement. The others turned to each other in pleasant surprise. "Really?" Jisung asked, feeling joy spark in his heart. "Yes," Ramil PD said, feeling a bit disappointed that he got one-upped by one of the cast members. "Anyway," he said, clearing his throat. "Be ready in five." With that, Ramil PD went out of the house. The others were still confused, wondering what had happened. As they conversed about the possibilities, June finally came into the room. They looked at him with wide eyes, and Jisung went to him and placed his hands over his shoulders. "Is it you, bro?" he asked. "Did you talk to him?"
"Or did you confess?" Joonie asked. June smirked in amusement. "Like I said, believe what you want to believe...or watch the show when we get back." Somehow, that made them even more confused, however, they weren't as upset anymore since they were going to join the gathering. Casper and Jisung went to where June was. "What did you do, bro?" Jisung asked. "I know you didn't do it." "Hmm," Casper nodded in agreement. June finally smiled, shaking his head at his two teammates. It seemed like they were really the ones who had his back for life. "Let's talk about it later," June said. "Let's go to the gathering for now."
Jisung and Casper nodded, and with that, they followed after the staff. They entered the large van, with none of them talking about the incident. Hana, who felt bad about assuming the situation, tapped June's shoulder. "Sorry, June," she said. "I guess I was just really hungry. I know it's not an excuse, but you're right when you said we don't have any proof." "Me too," Haruki said. "I think all the tiredness has consumed me. Forgive me, dude. I know you wouldn't do anything like that." Uno nodded in agreement. Mei sighed. "Yeah, I don't think you're capable of doing anything like that." Joonie bit his lip. 'What the heck is with them?' he thought. Did he stumble in a harem for June or something? Why were all of them on his side? "It's alright," June said. "What's important is we're going to the gathering. I'm going to eat two day's worth of food." The others smiled at June's lighthearted comment. They finally arrived at the town proper, where they saw an open garden with tables and chairs spread prettily on the grass. The sun had calmed down, so the weather was perfect—not too hot, not too cold. The van stopped at the side, and some people looked over their way. "Are those the celebrities?" "The celebrities have arrived!" "Grill some more meat and place them on the VIP table!" The cast members heard them from inside the van, causing them to smile. "So cute," Mimi muttered. Just then, the car door opened, and Ramil PD greeted them with a wide smile. "Come on," he said. "They're waiting for you." The others turned to each other before going out of the van. Joonie led the pack, and some of them recognized him right away. "Isn't this the boy who was in the first season?" "You were more handsome in the first season, boy," an old woman said with a wide smile. Joonie was surprised while Casper covered his mouth to suppress his laughter.
The others followed suit, and they were welcomed warmly by the crowd. "Hana! I want to ask if you can marry my grandson!" Hana's cheeks reddened as she politely declined the offer. Another old woman patted Mimi's back. "I saw that you have a boyfriend. You can do so much better!" she exclaimed. Mimi pursed her lips together. "Thank you for your concern, Grandma." "You should smile more, young man," an old man said to Haruki. "I looked like you when I was younger, and I also had a lot of angst in my heart. Now, I look like this." Haruki's eyes widened as he looked at the man before him. "49," the man said with a wide smile. However, that didn't make Haruki smile one bit. This man looked like he was in his 60s!
"You're right, sir," he nervously chuckled. "I should really smile more." On the other hand, Casper was instantly pulled by a group of kids. He was terrified at first. Casper wasn't good with kids. However, as he was pulled to a box of kittens, he instantly softened. "We know you like cats!" one kid exclaimed. "Yeah, you like cute things, so we like you," another said with a wide smile. Casper pursed his lips and shyly scratched the back of his head. Well, maybe kids weren't so bad after all. Uno was surrounded by old people with the same hair color as him—white. "Why do you deliberately want white hair?" one asked. "Let's exchange hair. I've been wanting black hair ever since!" "It's for our comeback," Uno shyly said. "Come what?" the old man asked. "Do you want to go back home now?" "No, no!" Uno quickly defended himself. "For our new song." "Ooh! What's the title? Come on, share it with us." "I can't do a spoiler," Uno chuckled, feeling awkward. "Spoiler? Are you calling our food spoiled, boy? Is it bad?" another old man exclaimed. "No, that's not what I mean!" Uno said, already feeling tired of defending himself. The cast members enjoyed their time with the villagers. Although this was their first time meeting, it felt like they had lived here for a long time...and maybe they did. Having suffered in their remote house for a week made them feel familiar with the place. However, amidst all these somewhat peaceful interactions was June. June, the original old lady killer. As soon as he went out of the van, he was bombarded by a large group of supposed fans. "June! You came for me!" "June, I've been watching you since Rising Stars! I bought you stars worth my entire pension!" "June, can we have a photo with each other?" "June, do you not care about age?" Chaos erupted as June came out of the van. The others could only sit still and watch the events unfold right before their eyes.
"Well," Jisung said, amusement seen in his eyes. "June has always been popular with the old ladies."
