Chapter 847: You Already Know
It had been a while since June had spoken to Minjun, so he was more excited than usual.
As soon as he arrived in the hallway, he pressed on the 'answer' button and placed the phone before his ear.
"Minjun," he greeted. "What's up?"
"Big Bro!" Minjun exclaimed.
June frowned as soon as he heard his voice. "Are you taking testosterone pills or something? Why is your voice getting deep?"
Minjun clicked his tongue. "It's called puberty, idiot," he deadpanned.Upstodatee from
June pursed his lips. In the back of his mind, he already knew that. However, he still couldn't erase the image of the small kid that he had first met.
"How can a 7th grader go into puberty that early, though?" June muttered.
"I'm already in 8th grade," Minjun sighed. "Why are we even talking about this?"
June chuckled and shook his head. "Well, why did you call?"
"Nothing much," Minjun said. "It's just been a while since we've last spoken. You also haven't been involved in a scandal for a while now, so I'm wondering if things are going alright."
June clicked his tongue. "Are you praying on my downfall?"
Minjun chuckled. "Well, no. With your luck, I was just assuming that you would have another scandal or two. Actually, the airport outfit one was a bit close, but then you started a trend. I see kids my age rocking your outfit everywhere I go now."
"Isn't that great?" June asked. "You can see me even when I'm not there."
Minjun sighed. "Well, if my mom wasn't such a worrywart, then I would invite you to our new house. It's very big, actually. It's in the middle of the forest and appears straight out of that movie with a sparkling vampire."
"I'm not sure what you're talking about," June deadpanned.
"Of course," Minjun said. "What did I expect from you? Well, anyway, it's really big. My mom's not home all the time, too, so it gets pretty lonely. However, she has eyes everywhere, so I can't invite you."
June frowned. "How are you able to call me right now then?"
"My mom isn't home," he cheerily said. "And I'm hiding in the washing machine while playing hide-and-seek with our workers. I've been here for 15 minutes and got bored. I reckoned that I would be here for a while, so I decided to call you."
"Anyway, when are you guys coming back? My classmates are all dying for new music from you."
June smiled. "Soon," he answered. "Tell them that they don't need to wait for long."
"Is it really soon?" Minjun asked. "I know you have a new CEO since your last CEO is crap. Is he treating you better?"
"Hmm," June hummed. "It's too early to tell."
June stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around, already aware of who was calling his
name.
He neutralized his facial expression and faced the person.
"Sir Lei," he said, bowing his head in respect.
Lei chuckled with his signature warm smile. "I knew I saw you a while ago. What are you
doing here?"
"Just trying to make some music with the boys," June vaguely answered.
Lei's eyebrows raised in surprise. "Oh, you guys are already planning something?"
June nodded. "It's for the next comeback."
Lei pursed his lips. "I see," he muttered.
They were stuck in silence for a few seconds until June spoke once more.
"Do you have anything you want to talk about?" he asked.
Lei lifted his head and met eyes with June for a second.
"Right," he muttered. "I just want to talk about...last night."
June clicked his tongue. "About how Dan took me to the club?"
"Well, he got drunk pretty quickly, and I was uncomfortable staying there, so I left on my own," June nonchalantly said while looking down at his nails, appearing unbothered.
"Don't worry," he added. "I didn't get caught by anyone. I also didn't create any trouble." Lei felt his temper increasing, but he continued smiling despite it all.
"That's...good," he squeezed out.
"Well, you should have gone there yesterday," June smiled. "Dan was all over the place.
Maybe you should look into hiring more competent workers."
Lei chuckled to hide his anger. "I'll make sure to do just that."
"Bye for now, then," June smiled. "I still have a lot to discuss with my members."
With that, he turned around and was about to head inside their practice room.
However, Lei's next statement made him freeze in his tracks.
"You already know, don't you?"
