Chapter 134 I Like Head

June sat in the middle of the room, his new members looking at him with wide eyes.

Aside from C-Jay, he had never interacted with these people before.

June looked at their ranks—46th, 47th, 43rd, 42nd, 49th, 25th.

The trainee, Sehun, had the highest rank among them, and he also had the "Leader" and "Center" badges stuck on his shirt. Despite the dark bags under his eyes, he had a smile on his face as his gaze met with June.

"It's my first time performing with a trainee from the top 15," a young-looking trainee, Jakob, said.

"Me too," Seokhwa exclaimed. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you! I always laugh when your scenes come on."

"My mom's a fan of you," Sehun added, a smile still on his face.

"We're so glad you're here, bro," C-Jay exclaimed. "I felt really down when I got kicked out of 'Break Me Up,' but now, I get to perform with you! That's a win in my book."

"You were kicked out, too?" June asked.

C-Jay nodded. "Sehun, Jakob, and Seokhwa are the only original members here. All four of us are new members!"

Sehun smiled. "Yeah," he said. "It's been a really tough morning with just the three of us, but I'm glad you're here now, June. I'm glad that you guys are all here. I feel like our performance is going to be okay."

"Yeah," Seokhwa nodded. "We were just talking about our roles before you came, and we haven't decided on the Main Rapper yet. We believe you'd be great!"

June wanted to laugh in disbelief.

Are they watching the same show, or are they pretending to be blind?

June has never rapped in the show! Not even once! How could they think he was perfect for the role?

"I don't rap," he deadpanned, looking them in the eyes.

Sehun pursed his lips. "We know that," he admitted. "But the other boys don't rap, too. We have already established Jakob's and Seokhwa's positions as sub-Rapper 2 and 3 last week. I've also practiced Sub-Rapper 1. C-Jay volunteered to get Sub-Rapper 4 already."

"And these two?" June asked, pointing at Haesoo and Taekyung.

"We're vocalists," Haesoo said. "And we've already agreed to our parts. Only the Main Rapper is free."

June felt frustration escalate in his heart. What's with people not asking his opinions?

Is he that unimportant?

Team Risers kicked him out without even consoling him.

And these dudes are just deciding that he's going to be the Main Rapper?

June was about to tell them off when Sehun held onto his hand. The young guy looked so pitiful—like he'd been carrying the burden of the team for the past few days.

"We're really sorry, June. But you're our last chance. As you can see, you're probably the most talented out of all of us."

The others nodded, looking a bit down, too.

"Everybody's saying our team is going to end up in last place," he continued. "And it's painful hearing that when we're working so hard. Can you help us just this once, please?"

C-Jay let out a deep breath. "Help us, brother. As much as I would love to rap, you know that I can't be the Main Rapper."

June let out a deep breath, still weighing the decision.

"Besides," C-Jay continued. "Their past Main Rapper gave us permission to use his lyrics. You don't have to think about it anymore!"

June looked up, and he felt a tug in his heart when he saw the desperate looks on the guys' faces. Despite being in the last places, they still didn't want to give up…

…And June was a sucker for that.

The youngest among them, Jakob, looked so similar to Minjun that it also softened his heart.

Ah, fuck it.

With a small sigh, he nodded.

"Fine, I'll do it."

They immediately rejoiced with June's confirmation.

"Give me the lyrics."

***

June looked at the piece of paper with a blank look on his face.

As the Main Rapper, he'd have two full four-verse rap lines in the middle of the song after the first chorus. He was also in charge of one four-line verse in the bridge.

The responsibility of the Main Rapper was quite heavy since all these lines had been left blank by GROOVYTUNES.

The other rappers had fewer lines, with the Sub-Rapper 4 having only six lines in the song, with two lines already pre-written.

Then, the Main Vocalist had the first chorus and bridge vocals. While the Sub-Vocalist 1 had the second chorus. The third and last chorus will be sung by all members.

"Ah, lucky you," C-Jay said as he passed by June. "You already have a rap verse written. I still have to write two lines."

Lucky? June was fucking lucky?

He'd rather swallow glass than rap these pre-written verses.

June read them once more, confirming if what he was reading was real.

To be fair, the first verse wasn't too bad.

Diamonds on my wrist, and gold on my chain,

Countin' all my money, never feelin' pain,

Life's a never-ending party, every single night,

I'm livin' in the spotlight; everything's so right.

However, it didn't really resonate well with the theme that GROOVYTUNES had presented.

The pre-written chorus and verses for 'Tie Me Up' is linked to being tied up to a toxic relationship and struggling to break away.

The past Main Rapper just focused on flexing, ignoring the very meaning of the song.

And it just became worse after that…

Females flocking like sheep, I'm basically Jesus

Rollin' in my cars, Money stacking like Beezus

I got that, honey; they are addicted

I like that head head head head..not that kinda of the head, you dirty!

First of all, who the fuck is Beezus? And that last line would probably get him kicked out of the show.

I flex my money; buy that Rolex.

King of the world….I like that face, baby girl

Don't try to suck my money like a leech

I'm the top dog, and you? You're just a bi—

Alright, that's enough.

These lyrics were unusable.

June opened his status window and looked at his mission board. He needed to upgrade his rap aspect fast! But, the window only showed—
