776 It's Not That Bad

The members of EVE woke up with raging hangovers.

They were all huddled in the living room, and they were awoken by the sound of someone vomiting in the bathroom.

Akira groaned as he got up.

"Who the heck is making so much noise?" he shouted.

His exclamation woke the remaining sleeping members, covering their ears as they felt their heads throb.

"Goodness," Jacyong said, blinking his eyes awake.

"What happened last night?" he asked.

Jisung frowned as he looked at the five large bottles on the table.

"Don't tell me-did we drink all of that?"

June, too, frowned when he looked at his members. They all looked like they'd ridden a rollercoaster for three hours.

He tried to recall what happened yesterday, but it was all just a big blur.

"Does anyone know what happened last night?" Junc asked.

Casper, who appeared the most normal out of them, shook his head.

"I tend to forget everything when I'm drunk," he said. "I'm worried, though. I felt like I said something stupid."

"Me too," Sehun said. "Why are my eyes swollen?"

Just then, Jay trudged back to the living room, groaning in pain as he plopped on the couch.

"I'm never drinking again," he complained.

"Do you know what happened?" Casper asked.

Jay shook his head. "No idea," he said.

June sighed before standing from the floor. "My bladder is going to explode," he muttered.

Jay turned to him with a smile. "The toilet smells of vomit, so take the Sanipoo before you go." June clicked his tongue and grabbed one of many bottles.

However, he halted when he saw the label behind the bottle. It was the first time he realized such a detail.

"Wait, Sanipoo is owned by Phoenix?" he asked.

"Yeah," Akira responded. "You don't know?"

June shook his head. "Phoenix is a really big company. It has many subsidiaries, and Phoenix Entertainment is just one of them. It's probably the biggest company in South Korea."

"The owner is pretty controversial, though," Jay chimed.

June turned his head to their manager. "Why is that?"

Jay shrugged. "It's not because they're a bad person or anything. It's just that nobody really knows who they are not their name, not their gender."

"Only the CEOs of the subsidiary companies are known."

"Huh," June muttered. "Strange."

"Yeah," Jay said. 'But it's pretty cool, too, right?"

"Anyway, didn't you need to pec?" he asked.

June nodded and went to the toilet, covering his nose when the scent of hot vomit hit him right away.

He clicked his tongue and sprayed some of the Sanipoo before doing his business.

Ile closed his eyes, feeling refreshed as his bladder was being emptied, when he suddenly heard Jisung scream.

"Guys!" Jisung exclaimed.

"I think we're in deep trouble.

The boys, along with Jay, sat in a fragrant room.

The sound of wheels rolling was heard-the only thing piercing through the silence.

Jay sucked in his cheeks as Mr. Ong circled around him.

"Finally," Mr. Ong coldly said. "I have been waiting for all of you to respond."

"I know that our meeting was scheduled this afternoon, but I had to move it carlier duc to... reasons," he chuckled.

The members of EVE didn't say anything, knowing that they had done something wrong. Well, in June's case, he thought that it was long overdue. He watched the clips online and wanted to applaud Casper for everything he had said.

"I even had my assistant light up one of my expensive candles because I didn't want my room to smell like blue cheese," he said, turning to Ren, who pursed his lips to prevent himself from laughing out loud.

"I also went to my salon before coming here so they could touch up my wig" he said, now turning to Zeth.

Zeth looked down at his lap without saying anything.

"Now," Mr. Ong said, wheeling himself back behind his table. "Could you tell me why you had a live late in the evening when I told you that every move of yours shall be reported to me?" "And not only that, BUT YOU DID IT DRUNK!" he shouted, causing the members to wince. Then, he turned on his TV to show the boys the aftermath of their drunk livestream. However, his browser history showed up instead.

'Wig hairstyles that aren't obvious'

'Why do I smell like blue cheese?'

'Octopus sex!

The boys felt like they were in a 'try not to laugh' challenge. They quickly looked away from the screen as Mr. Ong scrambled to shift the screen to the presentation he had created.

"Ilere!" he exclaimed, trying to calm himself down.

June's eyebrows raised in pleasant surprise when Minjun's article appeared on the screen.

EVE's drunk live stream? An iconic moment!

Last night, the hottest K-Pop boy group of their time, EVE, took to the internet by storm with a live that was surprising and utterly human at the same time. The group's impromptu drunk live stream quickly spiraled into a viral sensation, attracting 250,000 viewers at its peak. What could have been a recipe for disaster turned into a memorable event that endeared the boys to their fans and the public alike.

The live stream showcased a side of EVE that fans rarely see: raw, unfiltered, and charmingly inebriated. Far from the polished, choreographed performances that K-Pop idols are known for, the members of EVE let their guards down and showed their cute, natural selves. They sang songs, proving that their talent shines through even in less-than-sober conditions. The public loved it, finding the boys' antics reminiscent of their own drinking sessions with friends. But the most commendable part of the evening came when led by the group's member Casper, the boys aired their frustrations with their management company. Despite the alcohol and the potential for chaos, he articulated their grievances professionally. Their candid discussion about the lack of creative freedom, biased workloads, and stringent social media controls resonated deeply with viewers.

This bold move didn't go unnoticed. Fellow artists such as Haruki of CHAOS, Uno of OCTA, and actress Hana publicly commended EVE for speaking out against industry norms, a topic often considered taboo. Their bravery in addressing these issues struck a chord, leading to an outpouring of support and admiration from both fans and peers.

In a single night, EVE managed to gain over a hundred thousand new followers, with Casper emerging as the central figure of this surge in popularity.

So, what do you think about EVE now? Their drunken night may have started as a simple livestream, but it ended as a defining moment in K-pop history!

"I read this article!" Casper smiled. "It was so sweet!"

"Yeah, it's not so bad, right? The public seems to like it," Akira chimed.

Meanwhile, Mr. Ong felt like he was going to bust a nerve.

"This article has over a million views!"
