Chapter 770 Rising Stars 5 Finale (4)

Although Mei's voice wasn't at the level of real idols just yet, the audience still found it impressive how she had improved drastically over the course of two weeks.

Now, they couldn't really call her tone-deaf or untalented.

As the performance ended, it was apparent that Mei truly deserved the center spot.

Ilowever, June feared that it was too late.

As he made his way back to the stage, a countdown of one minute was shown on the screen. "After the minute is over, the voting will officially close," June said.

The people, both onsite and online, scrambled to get their votes in at the very last minute. For some, their minds have changed because of the final performance, while some wanted to spend more money on people who didn't even know they existed.

"Vote for Mei, Jia said, urging her friends to use their remaining stars for Mei.

Bora chuckled in amusement. "Aren't you jealous of her?"

Jia looked at her with furrowed eyebrows. "Why would I be?"

"Because she's being linked with June."

Jia clicked her tongue. "That's a ridiculous way of thinking. I don't think they have anything going on. Instead, I feel like they have a very special bond."

"However, in the event that they're really dating, then I don't have any say in that. I'm just a fan," she said.

"You're more than a fan, though. June knows you quite well," Wei said.

Jia chuckled in amusement. "That doesn't change a thing. I am still a fan. I should know my place. If my idol dates and it's not harming anyone, then it shouldn't affect my life drastically. Sure, I could be sad about it, but at the end of the day, I'm happy that my idol is happy."

"Besides, just because my idol dates someone doesn't mean that my chances of being with him decreases. The chance was never there in the first place," she muttered.

"3...2...1...!"

"The voting link is finally closed!" June exclaimed, causing Jia to glare at her friends.

"Dang! You chatted me up, so we missed the chance to give our stars.

Bora scratched the back of her head. "I don't have any stars anymore."

"I still have some," Jia muttered, disappointed.

Soomin apologetically looked at her. "Sorry, Jia"

Jia sighed. "It's fine,' she said.

However, it quickly turned into a glare, causing shivers to run down their spines.

"But if Mei doesn't make it, then I'll hold it up against you for three generations," she warned.

The girls gulped in nervousness, now praying that Mei would be able to make it into the final line-up.

"Now," June said, his voice filled with more depth.

The lights dimmed, and at that moment, the audience knew that the announcement of the final members was finally going to take place.

Yena and Yejin signaled for June to go backstage as the music intensified further.

- I feel like I'm going to shit myself.

-I DO NOT miss this feeling.

- Truly, Rising Stars has a talent for making people feel queasy.

- I still don't know who's going to make it. Aside from Jeemin, I can't predict which other girls will make it in.

- It sucks that the group will only have five members, too.

June was handed the envelope backstage, finding himself more breathless than usual.

"This is it," Yena said. "Start with the fourth place, then to the first "

Yejin nudged Yena's shoulder. "June knows. He has been through this before.

June chuckled and nodded. 'Yeah, I got it. I still have some advice from Minho about how to build suspense."

Yena and Yejin burst into laughter.

"The audience is going to mald again," Yejin muttered.

"Well, you've got this," Yena said. "You're finally going to have a junior group."

June couldn't help but smile. "Yeah," he muttered.

With that, he went back to the stage, and the drums of the music became even louder. The audience couldn't help but hold their breaths as they waited for the announcement. "Ladies and gentlemen," June started off, his soft and charismatic voice filling the arena. "In my hands are the names of the debuting members-five girls who will be a part of Azure's first girl group in years."

"However, before I get to the debuting members, let me first reveal the name of the group!"

Omo! This is what I've been waiting for.

- Did you guys send in your name ideas?

-I did! I hope it gets picked.

- What did you send?

- Twinx! It's like the Winx club and a Twix bar at the same time.

Ugly ass name! I sent in S-Ass! It's short for S-classed assassins!

- I don't think that's any better.

- Oh, shut up! Let's see how you did. What did you send?

- Mine's awesome! It's Queen of Fairies! Otherwise known as QueeF

- We're fucked, are we?

"And the name of the five-member girl group would be," June started off, turning back to the

screen.

Finally, the letters appeared after a few animations.

"Lunaire!" June exclaimed.

Instead of cheers, there was a collective sigh of relief in the crowd.

"Thank goodness, it actually sounds nice, Bora said.

"Lunaire, standing for the moon. They are a girl group who has appeared once in a blue moon-a very rare group that is to be treasured," June said, reading the short description.

"With that, let us dive straight into the fourth place!" June said, and the intense music came back

once again.

The audience held their breaths as June said a short (not so short) description of the debuting member. As per Minho, he also added a lot of silence, which added to the tension and

impatience of the audience.

"We have none other than Yeri!"

Yeri's eyes widened in surprise while the crowd cheered. She felt tears brimming in her eyes since she didn't expect it.

Yeri was quite an unexpected pick. She had never been the most popular trainee in the show, but nobody could argue with the fact that she was competent. Despite her lack of solo stans, she was a favorite of many, which allowed her a spot in the debut line-up.

"In the third place..." June continued as Yeri tearfully took a seat at the fourth prestigious chair.

"...is Ara!"

Ara covered her mouth as soon as her name was called. Mei, despite her heart beating out of her chest, turned to her friend and gave her a small hug.

"You deserve it," she whispered.

Ara nodded and went to her seat as well.

"Now, we have the top two contestants of the show," June said, building even more tension.

One of them was already obvious, so June called her first.

"Jeemin! You are a center candidate," June exclaimed.

The second candidate, on the other hand, was hard to predict. Aside from Jeemin, nobody had a

consistent rank throughout the show.

So, it could be anyone.

June raised his head for a moment to look at his sister.

Ile knew that she was also a popular candidate, and he wondered if she could also unexpectedly

take the center spot like him.

"And the other center candidate is..."
