June ended his song and was met with a loud round of applause. He saw himself on the screen and noticed that his cheeks were red from embarrassment.
He didn't think much about it when he was singing, but it seemed like he was actually pretty embarrassed to sing in front of the trainees.
The trainees didn't fail to notice this, and they started fangirling about June once again.
"I can't. I need to take care of him."
"Why is he so cute?"
"Seriously, why am I fawning over a grown man?"
"That face—I want to dominate it."
"Girl, I sure hope that the cameras didn't catch what you just said."
Meanwhile, Lee Sik nudged June's shoulder.
"You're really good at singing now," he said.
June raised one eyebrow in a teasing manner. "Does that mean that I wasn't good at singing back then?"
"You were," Lee Sik said. "But you're improving so fast. Sometimes, I feel like you've debuted for more than ten years."
I hope you could understand where June is coming from. Survival shows are honestly brutal! I still remember how Kang Hyewon from Produce 48 received so much hate for being pretty but lacking in skill. The same is true with Wonhee from RUNext. There seems to be more stigma around girl trainees too, and there are a lot of sexualization happening. June just doesn't want that for Mei Ling since he had protected her for so long!
