Chapter 337 Finding Secrets
June went back to their waiting room and found Jisung crying on Akira's shoulder.
They raised their heads when June made his way inside, instantly brightening up.
"Bro!" Jisung exclaimed, going over to where he was and squeezing his shoulders. "Were you mad?"
June sighed before shaking his head.
"Where's Chul?" he asked.
"He wanted to go without you," Zeth said. "But of course, we didn't let that happen. He's
probably waiting in the car."
June smiled. "Thanks for staying."
"You don't have to mention it," Jaeyong said. "We're a team. Of course, we were going to wait for you."
"But are you alright now?" Ren asked. "Jisung's been crying because he feels like you're angry because we didn't win."
"I'm not angry because of that," June said, causing Jisung to sigh in relief. "We can just take back those wins the next time we have a comeback."
They smiled, feeling a bit better than before.
"I was angry because of Chul," June continued. "I wanted to punch him a while ago, so I left."
His members' eyes widened in surprise.
"Me too," Sehun said, causing June to smirk.
"Alright, we can't punch our manager," Jaeyong said, calming down the situation.
"Even just a little bit?" June asked. "I already kicked and kneed his face before."
Once again, his members were surprised.
"What the hell?" Casper exclaimed. "You did that to Chul before me?"
"Ignore him," Akira said. "Did you catch it in video? I would pay to see that."
"You guys are getting off-topic," Jaeyong clicked his tongue. "When did that happen?"
"When we had an early schedule…I woke up earlier than usual since I didn't want to fight with you guys for the bathroom. I saw him near our door that night like a weirdo," June narrated the encounter.
"Why would he go there so early in the morning?" Sehun asked. "He usually comes on time since he hates waiting."
"I don't know," June said. "But I feel like something's weird with him."
"He's just plain weird," Sehun said. "It might not be obvious with the other members, but he's a bit more aloof with June and I."
"Really?" Zeth asked. "Why didn't you guys say so?"
"I thought I was being over-dramatic," Sehun confessed. "I didn't want to create any more drama since he seems to be alright with you guys. Besides, he ignores my existence rather than antagonizing it like June."
Jisung sniffed. "Even if he doesn't do anything to me, I still don't like him. Ever since the Hoho incident, I felt like he was a bit unkind to June and Sehun."
"I almost forgot about that," Ren said. "June ended up debuting with his original stage name, though. Does anybody know why that happened?"
June smirked as he brought out his phone.
June was a man of his word. However, once triggered, that might change in the blink of an eye.
He had kept Chul's secret because of his personal principles, but he didn't dare delete the video of him sucking his toes for moments like this.
June had enough.
He gave Chul a chance since he seemed quite decent with his work, but there was only so much June could take.
"June looks like he's planning something evil," Casper said, making all the other members shift their attention to June.
"Hey, do you think we can replace our manager?" June casually asked.
Jaeyong frowned. "Right now? I don't think so. We're still rookies in the industry, and the company actually really likes Chul."
"But what if we find something really disturbing about him?" June asked, already conjuring up a plan.
"Oh gosh," Jaeyong groaned. "What do you have in mind?"
June smirked.
"Let's just say that I want a new manager."
***
The other members were still hesitant to join in on June's plan. Fortunately, he had two other members who were insane enough to join him on his undisclosed plan.
Akira: Yo, what are we going to do about Chul?
Jisung: Chul looks like an angry bird. It's a good thing I didn't sit at the front.
June held back a chuckle as he read the messages on their new group chat.
Akira took the liberty to name their group chat 'Chul's Demons,' all with the aim of kicking out their unprofessional manager. The three of them were sitting together, all busily texting on their phones.
June: You can't back out from our plan now.
Akira: Of course! I love challenges.
Jisung: What are we going to do anyway?
June: *sent a video*
June didn't waste any time and sent the video of Chul sucking his toes during their music video filming.
Akira and Jisung glanced at each other in confusion before clicking on the video. For a second, Akira's phone had the sound, so he quickly turned it down.
Jisung and Akira intently watched the video, wondering what they were looking at. However, once Chul's crouched figure became clear, the two of them couldn't hide their shock.
"What the fuck?" Akira loudly exclaimed, turning to June and giving him a push due to the shock and disgust of seeing the video. Since June didn't expect the push, his phone fell from his hand and to the car's floor.
June glared at him and quickly covered his mouth.
"Shut up," June whispered.
Meanwhile, Jisung stared off into the distance, looking traumatized.
"What's going on there?" Chul asked with a frown, glancing back at them.
Jisung was about to respond but stopped when he caught a glimpse of Chul's mouth. The video played back in his mind, causing Jisung to cover his mouth and silently gag.
"Are you guys okay?" Jaeyong asked, also looking at them with a weirded-out expression.
"Everything's good," June calmly said. "My phone just fell."
"Well, you better quiet down," Chul said, clicking his tongue.
June sighed before reaching his hand on the car floor. He wandered his hand around, but he couldn't quite reach it.
So, he decided to kneel down, causing the other members to complain about the lack of space.
June ignored their complaints and leaned his head down to visualize his phone better under the seats.
It was a bit dark, a combination of the setting sun and the overly-tinted windows, making the black phone harder to see.
However, once June leaned down, he caught a glimpse of something white—something familiar.
It was a plain, small material, but June couldn't miss the little "J" with cat ears sewed onto its corner.
It was, indeed, his sock.
