Chapter 857: A Man Who Can't Recognize Anyone
June froze in his spot.
There was chaos in the garden, with people wondering if he was truly smart.
To be fair, June didn't know much about the people in their government!
However, looking at the photo, it was, indeed, the President of their republic.
"He has hair!" June exclaimed, trying to justify his mistake.
They all turned silent.
"You're making it worse," Casper muttered from his side.
June pursed his lips and stood from his seat before bowing deeply.
"Sorry, Mr. President. It was my mistake."
Silence reigned in the garden once more before they all burst into laughter.
"How could we get mad at him when he looks this cute while apologizing?"
"I think June is the only one who could get away without recognizing the President," Mimi muttered. "He's so cute!"
"Ah, I'm not the president, but I forgive you," Ramil PD said, finding June endearing.
"It's understandable since he does have hair in the photo," a staff member chimed, causing agreements to go around the garden.
June sighed in relief and sat back down in his seat.
Once again, he almost got into trouble because of a bald man!
The President...
Mr. Ong...
Mr. Klin...
But then again, Mr. Klin helped him a lot. Maybe he would come around soon once again.
That is if he wasn't just a part of June's imagination.
June snapped back to reality when Casper correctly answered his question.
"Luther!" he exclaimed.
"Who is that?" Joonie muttered.
One of the actors patted his shoulder. "It's his infamous cat. His cat is even more famous than some of us here."
Joonie raised his eyebrows in surprise, wondering just how big EVE's fan base was. However, it also made him feel greedy.
Somehow, he also wanted that fan base for himself.
The game continued, and only a fourth of the artists were able to pass the first round.
When it was Mei's turn, she looked at ease.
June sighed and already expected her to pass. He knew that her sister practically knew everyone in the entertainment industry. She just loved watching shows, movies, and the like too much.
It didn't even take her a second to blurt out the name of the familiar idol.
"Kim Chaewon."
"Correct!" Ramil PD exclaimed.
"Wah, that was so quick. I didn't even get to take a look at the photo!"
The second round quickly began, and June began praying once more that he would be given a person that he actually knew.
The prize for the second round was a normal plate and utensils, one that they would use for a meal in the office.
It was a little bit concerning since it was still the second round. They wondered how the plates and utensils would progress if they were already down to normal plates!
"It's June's turn once again!" Casper exclaimed from the back, already rooting for him.
Ramil PD turned the printed photo, and June was rendered speechless once again.
However, he didn't want to stay silent this time, so he blurted out the first name that he could.
"Ronaldo Messi!" he exclaimed.
Once again, they all turned to June with wide eyes before bursting into laughter.
"Is he doing this on purpose or not?" Kiera asked, laughing in her seat.
"I think he's not," Mimi chuckled, tears already dwelling in her eyes.
Nico narrowed her eyes at her from afar, wondering why she found June so endearing.
June scratched the back of his head as he failed the next round after that. At that point, the winners were given bowls with a single spoon.
In the next round, June's character wasn't even human!
It was a snowman with a hotdog for a nose, and everyone couldn't believe that he couldn't recognize it when he hadn't even watched it before!
"Hotdog?" he asked, causing Ramil PD to burst into laughter.
"I see that June isn't good at everything. I've always thought that he would be great at
games."
Just then, a co-producer whispered something into Ramil PD's ears.
Ramil chuckled. "Ah, June's luck is bad? I could see that."
Fortunately, he wasn't the only one left within their team.
Akira, who wanted to eat like a king at the buffet, got his question wrong, too.
Aside from that, Joonie was also left in the line. However, if you asked him, it was deliberate.
He wanted to stay in the game for more screen time.
However, in the fourth round, he really didn't know the artist who was shown.
In fact, almost all of the artists didn't know who was being shown in the photo.
"Wrong!" Ramil PD exclaimed, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
"Well, this was the hardest one in the bunch. I believe this wouldn't be answered at all," he
continued.
"It's Lee Chung-ook," June suddenly said, capturing their attention.
Ramil PD turned to him with wide eyes.
"What did you say?" he asked.
"It's Lee Chunk-ook," June repeated. "He's the one who starred in 'Kung-fu, You Foofoo,'
the 1920 hit film about fools training to be kung-fu masters."
"Omo, how does he know that?" Jeemin asked.
"As expected from June," Ren chuckled. "He's the best."
Ramil PD, along with the other staff members, also burst into laughter.
"How can you know this and not the other ones we've shown?" he asked.
"I liked that movie," June innocently said.
The producers of the show were having a field day. They didn't know that they would hit the jackpot with June. But then again, he has been a viewer attractor since Rising Stars.
The fifth round followed, and June got it wrong once again.
The winners had a significantly smaller plate, one used for cakes, along with a fork, so it was
clear that the next people to get them right were going to eat humbly.
In the seventh round, where they were given a paper plate and a plastic glove, Akira finally got
it right, leaving June as the only member of EVE left in the game.
"Yes!" Akira exclaimed. "This is more than enough for me," he said.
The crew chuckled in amusement as Akira made his way to the back.
In the eighth round, June wanted to get it right. However, the universe wasn't on his side
when he got another cartoon character.
In the ninth round, only two people were left in the game. It was none other than Joonie and
June.
"We have two hot stars with us," Ramil said. "I'm happy that such handsome guys are left in
the game."
"This one would be a do-or-die round. The first person to get it right will win this plate!"
It was a plate and spoon from a toy set, one that would only be able to hold a few teaspoons of
rice.
June was determined to get it right this time.
He leaned closer to his seat to get a better look at the photo. Meanwhile, Joonie remained
relaxed by his side.
"It's alright if I take the last place," he said, smiling at June with crescent eyes.
"Alright, I'll take this round then," June said, facing Ramil PD once more.
His members snickered at the back while June remained focused.
Then, the photo was finally shown, and his frown deepened.
It was a photo of a man who appeared like he didn't know how to take photos.
"Who is that?" June muttered.
Just then, Joonie sighed and raised his hand.
"It's June."
