"It feels like it's been forever since we ate dinner together!" Akira exclaimed as he started digging into what June had prepared.

His eyes immediately brightened as he tasted his cooking.

"As usual, you're the best," he sincerely said with a bright smile.

"Hmm," Jisung also moaned at the taste of the spicy fish stew. "Can you cook for us every night?"

Sehun chuckled and gently nudged Jisung's shoulder.

"You know June can't do that. He's very busy. He has a lot of solo schedules on top of the group schedules that we have. He needs to rest too," Sehun said while Casper enthusiastically nodded.

Jisung clicked his tongue with slumped shoulders.

"I guess. That's also the reason why he can't eat dinner with us most of the time."

"Don't be sad, guys," Jay chimed as he sat next to June. "I chere in place for June most of the tanyway."

The boys all sighed in disappointment.

"I think that's the main problem," Casper said, making Jay glare at him.

"Goodness, do I feel the love," he sarcastically muttered. "Anyway!" he exclaimed, quickly changing the topic.

"Are you still getting dizzy? Hana calledthe other day, saying you looked pale."

June pursed his lips after drinking swater. "I still get sdizzy spells here and there, but it's better now. It doesn't bother my work."

Jay shook his head. "I'm still worried. You should really get checked out by a doctor sometime."

"Will do..."

"...after Rising Stars."

The boys all groaned in disappointment. "That's still three months away! Why don't you just do it now?" Jay asked.

June clicked his tongue. "I really am busy these days. Besides, I visited Dr. Oh to check up on Grandma. He gavesmedicine for fatigue, and that's been working out nice."

"You should get stests done," Jaeyong said.

June nodded. "I'll do that as soon as possible."

Jay narrowed his eyes in suspicion.

"I don't believe you. I'm booking you an appointment with Dr. Oh as soon as you're available," he said, opening his phone and scrolling through June's schedule.

His frown becdeeper and deeper as he looked at June's schedule.

"What the heck? You even have a schedule on a Sunday evening," he muttered.

June shrugged. "Told you."

"This company is overworking you," he said. "No wonder you're getting dizzy."

"Aha!" he exclaimed in happiness as soon as he saw a free afternoon.

"There! You have sfree tin four and a half weeks," he said.

"After a month?" Jaeyong asked.

Casper scratched the back of his neck. "He'll probably faint by the tthat happens."

Jisung nodded in agreement. "By that time, the sixth episode of Rising Stars would have already aired. It'll be halfway finished!"

"It's fine," June said. "I can take care of myself."

He even got shot, punched, and stabbed plenty of times in his past life, but his medical exams were all clear! He definitely has good health genes.

"Let's not talk aboutanymore," June said.

Akira nodded before bringing out his phone and showing it to his members.

"Let's talk about Sehun reaching a million views in his most recent fancam then! It's his first ever million, so he excitedly toldabout it in my room," Akira said.

"Wow, congratulations!"

"Well-deserved."

"Honestly, it's long overdue."

June looked at Sehun and gave him a thumbs up.

"Nice job," he said.

Meanwhile, Sehun scratched the back of his head.

"I told you not to tell them," Sehun said to Akira.

"Why not?" Akira exclaimed. "You did great in that fancam. I even watch it in my free twhenever I want to improve my facial expressions. You've helpeda lot."

Jaeyong nodded in agreement. "I'm not being biased or anything, but you did the best during that stage. You were really shining on stage."

"Yeah!" Zeth said. "I can admit this even as someone who loves his own fancams very much."

Sehun continued to feel bashful.

Then, he focused his gaze on his lap.

"It's just my first million views," he said, looking up with what seemed to be a genuine smile. "It's no big deal."

"June reaches a million in a day while I took more than a month. He even reached four million for that particular stage already," he said.

The room was silent for a moment, and it seemed like all of them were contemplating Sehun's words.

Even Jay and Akira didn't know what to say to Sehun's statement.

Jisung cleared his throat. "That's because June is the most popular member of the team. We can't help it."

"Yeah," Akira chuckled. "The other day, I had a solo shoot of my own, and they askedif I was on the steam as June. We really can't have EVE without June."

The others started saying anecdotes on their own, and all of them had a fun tsharing them.

However, June was the only person who didn't find it fun at all.

In fact, it felt like one of his biggest fears of being in a group had now cto real life.

June cleared his throat, making all of them turn their attention to him.

"I hope you guys know that I'm still me," June said.

"No matter how many views I get," he muttered.

"Of course!" Jisung exclaimed. "We're not saying this because we're jealous. We're actually proud of what you've become. You're making the group more popular, and in turn, we get more popular too."

Zeth nodded in agreement. "Yeah, don't feel too bad about it."

The others also nodded in agreement. It seemed like all of them were fine with June's popularity, but June couldn't help but feel slightly uncomfortable.

"Don't sweat it," Sehun said with a small smile.

June nodded after a while.

"Let's stop with all this popularity talk and go back to eating," Jay said, and the others followed suit.

Then, when they were nearly finished with their meal, Jay suddenly remembered that he had to tell something to the boys.

"Right!" he exclaimed, startling most of them.

"I almost forgot to tell you. I chere tonight because I have an important announcement," he said, making the members wait in anticipation.

"As you all know, EVE is now the biggest boy group in Korea," Jay proudly said.

"With that, the company had decided to test out your popularity through a showcase!"

"A showcase?" the members said in unison.

"A mini concert!" Jay said. "They want to see your selling power so they can start preparing the venues for your world tour."

"WORLD TOUR?"
