Chapter 541 An Old Friend
"Lin Zhi?" Haruki asked with wide eyes. "You're telling me that one of the guys who killed Jun Hui, or whatever his name is, was Lin Zhi?"
"It's Jun Hao," June quickly corrected him.
Haruki sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "Is that even important right now? You're telling me that one of the trainees I've worked with is actually a murderer?"
Haruto nodded. "At first, I wasn't sure. I thought I was merely hallucinating. However, when I saw him on Rising Stars, my thoughts were solidified. I'm surprised you didn't react, though," he said to June. "Or maybe you didn't see his face that night."
"I did," June said, vividly remembering his death.
Haruto scratched the back of his head. "Well, it would be difficult to indict him since we don't have any proof of what happened that night. I think we were way too out of it to even think rationally."
Haruki appeared absent-minded as he leaned against his father's tombstone.
"I can't believe this," he whispered. "I've been training with a murderer. All this time, I thought you were the murderer," he said to June.
"Are you still on that agenda?" June asked.
"I can't help it," Haruki said. "All these years, I thought you took the job from my brother, which led to the death of a man and caused him great trauma. Then, when I saw you on Rising Stars, I thought that was the reward that Phoenix had given you."
"You're wrong," June sighed. "I joined out of my own accord."
[Lies.]
"I know that now," Haruki muttered.
June smirked, nudging his shoulder. "Do you hate me less now?"
Haruki clicked his tongue as he glared at June.
"I still hate you."
"Me too," June deadpanned.
Haruto chuckled as he watched the two of them argue. "You guys still haven't changed," he whispered.
"I want to apologize again," Haruto said, capturing the two's attention.
"Apologize for what?" June asked. "You didn't do anything wrong."
"I did," Haruto shamefully said. "If I didn't beg the CEO for a chance to debut, then this might not have happened at all. Then, maybe, just maybe, things could have gone differently for us." Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
June was about to speak, but Haruto continued talking.
"However, at the same time, I'm happy," he genuinely smiled.
Marcus, despite not being called, walked over to where his master was—almost like they were wirelessly connected.
"I'll see you guys soon. Let's all have a meal together once time permits. We can also talk more about what we talked about today."
Haruki and June nodded as Marcus wheeled Haruto back to his car.
Meanwhile, the two were once again left all alone. They were already awkward on their way to the cemetery. However, now that everything had been aired out, it seemed like they became even more awkward around each other.
However, it also felt like a huge throne was removed from both of their hearts. The shackles from the restraining past were slowly getting broken away.
"So, uh, how will you get home?" Haruki awkwardly asked, scratching the back of his head.
June chuckled since he had never seen Haruki act this way. He was usually bitter and imposing in June's presence, so this was a fresh experience.
"What are you laughing about?" Haruki asked with a frown.
"Do you even have to ask me about that? You brought me here. I'm assuming you'll be taking me back, too," June deadpanned.
Haruki clicked his tongue and shook his head.
"Whatever. Let's just go."
The two of them began to walk to the parking lot. However, they halted when Haruki's phone rang.
He clicked his tongue and brought out his phone, revealing the contact name—'Bo.'
"Goodness," Haruki muttered. "I can't believe he found out this soon."
"Who's that?" June couldn't help but ask.
"Our new security guard," Haruki answered.
"You guys have your own guard?" June asked.
Haruki nodded as he stared at the screen. "They were only contractual at first. We usually only needed guards when we went to official events. However, since more and more fans are becoming obsessive, the company hired a personal security guard for the group."
June hummed in understanding. "You should answer it then."
Haruki sighed and finally answered the phone, placing it over his ear.
June waited patiently, looking around the peaceful cemetery.
However, after Haruki greeted their personal guard, the peace quickly shattered.
"Hello, Bo Wen?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
