Mei and June looked like they were deer caught in headlights. To be fair, June's last statement could definitely spark rumors, and based on Manager Lei's expression, he must have heard at least the last statement. "Uh—you still haven't left, sir?" Mei asked, scratching the back of her head. Lei pursed his lips before shaking his head. "I helped the other girls in unpacking. I was planning on helping you, too, but you weren't in your room." "Oh," Mei said. "June just had to tell me something." "Yeah, I could see that," Lei muttered. They were silent for a few moments before Lei and June spoke altogether. "You guys have to be honest with me," Lei started off. "Look, it's not what it looks like," June said. "Wait, what?" they simultaneously said. June scratched the back of his head. "It's not what it looks like," he repeated. "I know that it looks pretty strange, but we were just talking. I had to tell her something." "Yeah," Mei enthusiastically nodded. "So, you don't have to be cautious." "Oh," Lei chuckled. "I was just going to ask you guys to be honest because I'm open about these things." "We live in the 21st century. I really don't mind if you guys engage in adult relationships." "Oh hell no," June said, already feeling disgusted. The two of them turned to him with wide eyes. "Dang," Mei muttered. "You didn't have to deny it like that," she whispered. Lei scratched his head. "Well, if you say that there's nothing going on, then I believe you guys." "Are you coming around soon, Mei? I need to head in a while soon because I have to meet someone important." "Uh—yeah," Mei said, turning to June and pursing her lips in a smile. "Let's go." With that, the two of them made their way back to LUNAIRE's dorm while June clicked his tongue in annoyance. He leaned against the wall once more but quickly jolted straight when he realized that Lei's phone was in his pocket. However, it wasn't in any ordinary position. "Fuck," he exclaimed and bolted to follow after them. The elevator was in use, so June used the stairs. He bolted like his ass was on fire—his objective was to make it to the top-most floor before Lei and Mei did. Fortunately, since June was pretty fast, he arrived when the elevator was still on the floor below. He situated himself in front of the elevator, trying to calm his breath. "Goodness," June sighed, still breathless. He held onto his beating heart to try and calm it down. "This body still lacks stamina. I need to work out more." Just then, the elevator doors opened, and June showed a stern expression. "What the heck!" Mei exclaimed from the elevator, genuinely surprised. "How are you here?" Meanwhile, June's eyebrows relaxed when he saw that Mei was alone in the elevator. He looked around, wondering if he was just seeing wrong, but Mei snapped him back to reality. "What are you doing?" Mei sighed. "How can you even be here when we left before you?" June clicked his tongue. "Where is your manager?" "Oh," Mei said. "We separated. Someone called him on our way up, and he hurriedly left." "Shit," June cursed. With that, he left Mei to go back to their dorm room. He couldn't believe that he made himself such an easy target! June burst through the doors, causing his members to look at him with wide eyes.
They were already dressed in their pajamas, eating fried chicken as they watched PD Ramil's new variety show once again. "Where have you been?" Jay asked. "We bought fried chicken." June pursed his lips, not really in the mood to eat. Truth be told, he felt sick to his stomach. He felt like his non-existent relationship with Mei was going to be released to the public—which was disgusting. Some protagonists might not mind being linked with their sister, but not June! He despised it. June closed his eyes and let out a deep breath. "Guys," he started off, getting their attention once more. "If you hear anything about me, then don't believe it, okay?" The members glanced at each other in confusion. "What do you mean?" Jay asked with a frown. "You don't have any negative articles coming out right now." "I know," June sighed. "But once something comes out, I want you guys to believe me, okay?" He then turned to Jay. "Try to keep it under the public's eye as much as possible." The boys were still confused, but June knew that they would get it in no time. Then, he went to his room to think of a strategy to reduce the impact of the dating rumors. It wouldn't only affect him, but it would also affect Mei! "Haruto?" he muttered before shaking his head. "Nah, that kid knows nothing about media." "Minjun will also receive backlash if he does an exclusive denial of the news," he continued. Then, someone passed his mind—someone related to Minjun. However, he shook his head once again. "Nah, I already used up all of my favors." With that, he sat on his bed, going to Navel and endlessly refreshing the pages. If the guy was really Laohu, then June knew that he would use anything against him. As most people know, dating was one of the biggest downfalls for new idols.
Mei hasn't even started yet, but she was already being targeted! June didn't know how long he had been sitting on his bed, just trying to come up with an idea.
Then, before he knew it, Casper opened his door, causing him to stand in surprise. "Casper," June muttered. "What is it?" Casper's expression didn't give anything away. "The article is out," he said, causing June's eyebrows to furrow. June knew that Laohu acted fast, but he didn't expect that he would be this speedy. With that, he followed Casper to the living room. There, he saw his members looking at their phones with ambiguous expressions. Then, Jay lifted his head, his expression also unreadable. He let out a small sigh before shaking his head. "So, this was why you wanted to keep it on the down low, huh?"
