Chapter 996: What's the Name of the Castle?
Casper couldn't close his mouth out of shock. The episode was nearing its end, yet June had ended in last place-every single time.
Casper pursed his lips and turned to June, who had a neutral expression. Well, he was one who wasn't easily bothered, after all.
"You know what," he started off. "That's actually more impressive than winning all games."
Sehun nodded in agreement. "This is the first time I've seen someone lose all the games they had prepared."
"Bangsoo was right when he said you had worse luck than him," Akira chimed in.
- Poor June! It really isn't his day.
- Look! Even the cast members are amazed.
- I am, too, honestly. This is the first time I've seen this in Crawling Man history.
- It's legendary! I could already imagine the compilation on YouWatch. It's going to be freaking funny.
Niki pursed her lips and went to June, bowing at him in admiration.
Jaeduck chuckled at the young woman's action. "What was that for, Niki?" he asked.
"It's just amazing," Niki said, scratching the back of her head. "I think I don't have the right to say I have bad luck now. I ended up in third place."
"Me too," Rowoon said.
Bangsoo scratched the back of his neck. "I feel weird. It feels weird that I'm not in the last place."
Shinchan shook his head in amusement. "Me too. I'm used to sticking my tongue out at you. Now, I can't even do that to June because he's too handsome."
"We will now reveal the final rankings!" The producer exclaimed, flashing the result on the
screen.
They were now back to where they had started, and it was time to reveal the winner of the night.
As expected, Jumi came out on top. Eunho came in second, while Niki was third. From then, the scores were pretty close. Bangsoo, however, had a negative score.
Yet, June still took the cake with -16 points. It was a groundbreaking record!
"I'm just at negative one," Bangsoo muttered. "It's really strange."
"And I got a one," Shinchan chuckle. "Still better than negative sixteen, though."
June pursed his lips as the cast members began to tease him. It seemed like they had become more comfortable with each other after the day-long filming.
"Before we reveal the prize for the winner, why don't we have a word from our guests?" Jaeduck asked, leading the show as it neared its end.
Rowoon started first. "I've always wanted to guest here. Another thing on my bucket list has been ticked off! I also want to say that I'm paying my debt off slowly but surely...and if you're my friend who ran away-I'll see you in jail!"
They laughed at his lighthearted yet serious threat.
Niki spoke next. "Hi, everyone! Thank you for inviting me here. Please continue loving Crawling Man. Aside from that, I hope you give Steel Family a chance, too. It airs every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on this channel in the morning!"
Jumi shook her head in amusement. "Of course, you have to promote your work!"
"We can't forget the VIP of the night," Shinchan said, turning to June-who had been stuck in his servant outfit for the entire duration of the show. Yet again, he still looked like a prince in it. His face really did all the work.
June pursed his lips before speaking.
"I really thought my luck had improved," he started off. "I mean, DAWN was brought back together. We had a great album with satisfactory results. The movie I starred in was also a hit," he continued.
"It's more than a hit!" Jumi chimed in.
"However, it seems like all of those come with a prize," June muttered. "Yet again, I would take all of this bad luck if it means I get to do this for a long time with the people I care for."
The members of DAWN turned to June with wide eyes as he said that. June scratched the back of his neck, feeling his cheeks warm up.
"Why did they air it all?" he groaned.
"Aww!" Jaeyong exclaimed. "Nobody loves our group more than June."
- That's actually really sweet!
- He's so well-spoken.
- My heart hurts. I'll take all your bad luck away, June!
"Let's give a hand to him!" Jaeduck exclaimed. "You really endured well today."
The other cast members gave him a pat on the back, thanking him for making the show very
entertaining.
"Now, onto the prizes and the penalty," the producer said.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Jumi clasped her hands in front of her chest. "Ah, I can't wait!"
The staff brought out the prize—a small box that seemed to contain something important. Then, they opened it, causing the members to gasp in surprise.
"Is that real gold?" Jaeduck asked.
The producer nodded. "We have real gold as the prize-fit for the heir of the castle."
Bangsoo groaned in frustration. "I should have worked harder!"
Shinchan shook his head. "Even if you worked harder, you would still end up in last place. Be thankful that June is here."
"Jumi is so lucky," Rowoon chimed in.
The producer clicked his throat, capturing their attention once more.
"Do you remember the name of this castle?" he asked.
The members were confused. He would usually announce the penalty at this point.
"Bad Luck Castle?" June answered.
"Correct!" The producer exclaimed. "Therefore, the Bad Luck Castle is comprised of people
with bad luck. The real heir must be worthy of such a title."
Their eyes widened, sensing what was coming next. June couldn't believe his ears.
"June, congratulations!" The producer exclaimed. "You are the rightful heir of the Bad Luck
Castle. Please claim your gold on the table."
June still couldn't believe it. The other members also looked at him with shock.
How did they miss the name of the castle all along?
"Therefore, the penalty will go to the person whose bad luck is pretentious-the one in the
second bottom."
Bangsoo's eyes widened further-if that was even possible.
"Bangsoo, you will clean the Boxes of Fate laid out in the garden as a penalty!"
"Aww, come on!" Bangsoo exclaimed.
