Chapter 810: Welcome To China
The boys were already in sour moods after being bombarded at the airport. When they realized that June wasn't with them, their moods turned even more sour-borderline murderous.
"Where is he?" Casper asked, looking around the airport with furrowed eyebrows.
Jisung bit his lips in anxiousness.
"He helped me a while back," he said. "I didn't think that he needed some help, too. I'm a bad friend!"
"No, I'm a bad leader," Jaeyong said, already on the verge of tears. "I should have looked out for all of you!"
Akira paced back and forth, his eyes scanning the airport for June.
"What if something happened with him? What if someone abducted him already?" he exclaimed.
Ren pursed his lips. "Don't say things like that!" he exclaimed. However, he was already feeling anxious.
They stayed silent for a few moments, feeling at a loss.
They were aware of June's popularity and just how many crazy fans he had!
"I can't believe our first overseas schedule turned out like this," Casper muttered.
"I'll go look for him!" he said with determined eyes.
The guards turned to each other in surprise.
"You guys need to be at the boarding gate in five minutes," one of the guards said. "You can't afford to lose any more time, sir."
Casper's eyebrows furrowed.
"So? You're telling us to just leave June behind?" he asked.
"No, sir," the guard calmly said. "The two of us will go look for him."
Casper clicked his tongue when he finally noticed the number of guards they were with.
"There's only seven of you? I thought a total of eight would be here," he said, massaging the bridge of his nose in frustration.
Akira patted Jisung's shoulder and whispered in his ears, "Casper's actually pretty hot when he's serious like this."
Jisung clicked his tongue and pushed Akira away. "Now's not the time for that!"
"Sorry, sir," the guard said. "The other guard took care of your bags along with the van."
Casper shook his head in disappointment. "Then, they should have hired another one."
Jaeyong walked over to him and placed his hand over his shoulder.
"He's right, Casper," Jaeyong said. "We can't go out there anymore."
Jaeyong glanced outside and saw that there wasn't a single opening. It was still occluded by reporters and fans.
"Let's allow them to handle this," Jaeyong continued. "We'll wait inside."
"Then, I just slipped away from the crowd and walked at the sides, which was relatively free," June continued.
"I even met Jia and her friends," he happily added.
The boys were taken aback. "So, you just walked here...by yourself?" Zeth asked in disbelief.
June nodded. "Yup. It was quite easy. I got here in no time."
"You know-I feel like June's luck is one of the biggest mysteries in the world," Akira
remarked.
"I can't tell whether it's good or not."

After a few hours, the plane finally descended.
Fortunately (and much to June's surprise), Azure actually booked them business-class
tickets, so they were able to have a comfortable flight.
It really did seem like Lei was earning the trust of the members.
As they made their way out of the plane and into the airport, the boys felt apprehensive once
again.
"The thing that happened in Incheon Airport is not going to happen again, right?" Ren asked, already sounding afraid.
"I sure hope it doesn't," Zeth said. "I love me some attention, but goodness, that was
excessive."
The boys all nodded in agreement, not wanting to experience something like that again.
However, after they got past immigration, there were crickets.
Not a single fan was waiting for them outside. Some people glanced at them, wondering how such a good-looking bunch of friends came to be. However, they didn't bother them at all.
"Well," Zeth said, feeling like his pride had been stomped on. "I didn't expect such profound
silence."
"Oh, wow," Ren said. "You actually know that word."
Zeth clicked his tongue as he glared at his friend.
"I honestly don't know what's worse," Akira said. "The fact that we had been mobbed in
Korea or the fact that nobody knows us here."
The others nodded except for June, who was looking at the airport with a nostalgic smile.
"Welcome to China, lads."
