Chapter 638 Just A Pretty Face
June was lost in his thoughts, the echoes of Mei Ling's song lingering in his mind. He wondered what his sister was truly doing in a show like this when she had no talent as an idol.
However, he snapped out of his reverie when he heard a faint hum beside him.
He glanced at his master, Lee Sik, and saw him watching the performance intently.
The other judges seemed to also be engrossed in Mei Ling's performance.
"Every moment we shared,
Every laugh, every tear,
Feels like it was just yesterday,
But now you're so far away."
June glanced behind him and also found the other trainees watching intently. He thought they were going to be repulsed by her performance, but it seemed like they were strangely intrigued.
June frowned and fully focused on her performance.
Then, that was when it hit him.
This girl—she was singing with raw, unfiltered emotions.
Sure, she lacked the technical skill, but goodness, she was singing like she had been through eight divorces.
Well, they did live a pretty rough life, and it somehow projected into the way she sang.
"I'll cherish every memory,
Hold them close to me,
For though you're gone, you're still here,
In every heartbeat, in every tear."
It was almost heartbreaking.
June wondered if she was singing the song because she somewhat remembered him. For a moment, she looked at her profile once again, going through her answers.
Favorite color: Pink
Favorite hobby: Reading Alternative Universes and Manhwas
June shook his head in amusement. Yup, she was still pretty much the same.
However, what made him frown was the next question.
Something you've always wanted: A sibling. It's hard being an only child.
June frowned in confusion.
June, who had been watching the screen, pursed his lips. He had never noticed the resemblance before, but now that it had been pointed out, he couldn't unsee it.
How could they even look alike when they weren't related in their current bodies?
"She's your female version," Gun said as if it weren't already strikingly obvious.
"Thank you for your performance," Lee Sik said, finally proceeding with the comments.
"You're welcome," Mei responded respectfully.
Lee Sik glanced at June before smiling.
"She somehow acts like you, too," he said.
June pursed his lips. That was what he was afraid of! Having his attitude in the entertainment industry would definitely give her a harder time.
"So, you've only been training for a month?" Lee Sik asked.
She nodded wordlessly.
"So, that explains it," Ji-hyun said. "I hope you're aware that you're not good at singing."
The trainees chuckled, finding her comment funny. However, once Ji-hyun's expression was shown on the screen, they pursed their lips.
It seemed like she was actually dead serious.
Ji-hyun knew that Mei sang her song with the perfect emotions. However, it still didn't take away the fact that she wasn't good at singing at all.
So, she didn't dare commend her emotional portrayal since she felt like the pretty girl didn't actually deserve it.
Amira took the microphone to share her criticisms.
"Your foundations in dancing are also a mess. It was already simple, yet somehow, you couldn't execute it properly."
Gun pursed his lips and nodded in agreement. "I'm not saying that you're a lost cause because people could definitely improve throughout the show," he started off, glancing at June.
"However, you have to put in extra effort to improve your skills right now," he said.
"Honestly, the last auditions have been very disappointing," Bone continued. "It seems like all of you are here for a model or a dance competition."
The trainees turned silent as Mentor Bone's words sunk into their minds. The fact that the kindest mentor in the show said such words meant that they must have been really disappointed.
Lee Sik nodded in agreement. Then, he turned to June, who was keeping silent until now so that his presence would go unnoticed.
However, Lee Sik wasn't going to let him go this time.
He smiled and nudged June's shoulder.
"Don't forget your promise now," he said.
"You're going to scold them, right?"
