Eddie looked utterly distraught as he cried out in melodramatic agony, "Why'd you guys conspire against me! Over a few extra pounds!"
The more serious he looked, the harder the livestream audience laughed.
"Confirmed. He's ostracized."
"My mom said I shouldn't play with chubby boys 'cause one of you counts as two."
"LOL. Now I wanna see what Shannon's gonna wear when she shows up."
"If all four end up in their original outfits and only Eddie isn't… I guess this is what they call showbiz bullying."
The livestream chat was practically on fire with laughter.
Olivia and Vincent exchanged glances before looking toward Juniper with wide-eyed innocence. "This is just a coincidence. I swear."
Eddie's lips twitched in helplessness as he forced a smile. "Yeah, I'm totally buying that."
He didn't press the issue further as the fourth car arrived.
Everyone, livestream audience, present cast members, and production crew alive, held their breath and turned to the car door with intense gazes.
Since the sixth cast member from Season One had long been discredited, everyone assumed there wouldn't be a sixth cast member this time. That meant Shannon would be the fifth person to arrive.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the car door slowly opened, and a young man in funky, street-style clothing stepped out.
The moment they saw his face, the livestream audience went dead silent.
"Wait… Is that Kai? Did he walk onto the wrong set?"
"Isn't this supposed to be a full reunion of Season One's cast members? As a Season Three cast member, what is he doing here?"
"Ahem… Technically speaking, Kai was part of Season One…"
