Haruto burst into laughter as he observed June's shocked face. Of course, June was shocked! Nobody had noticed until now, so he thought he was doing pretty well. Thinking that he could still fool Haruto, he quickly shifted back to a neutral expression. However, it seed like it was too late. "You may have fooled your mbers." "You might have even fooled your relatives." "But you can't fool ," Haruto smiled. "I was your best friend for the entirety of our trainee years! There's no way that you're the sa person." June remained nonchalant as he asked a new question. "And what made you say this?" "It's just too much of a drastic change," Haruto started off. "You claid to have lost your mories, but you rember the important events of the past. Joon-ho is definitely not as strong-minded as you, and last but not least, your improvent in performing had increased too drastically for it to be realistic." "No offense—but we really didn't have much potential back then," he chuckled. "You're way too good now." "However, aside from that, I just felt it. For all the tis I've spent with you, I could tell that you weren't the sa person."
June pursed his lips. "Why do you trust then?" he asked. "If you knew that I was a different person, then why are you still trusting until now?" Haruto smiled as he wheeled himself back behind his table. "That's because you're still June," he responded. "I couldn't bring myself to resent you even after everything we've gone through because I knew you always did what was best for ." "Even if it's up to your expense," he softly said. "So, whoever you may be, I believe that you're still a good person..." "...because I believe that the universe will not make June into a bad person. He'll still be good in every dinsion." Haruto's statent sohow comforted June. However, at the sa ti, he thought that he was wrong. "I'm not a good person," June muttered. Haruto smirked. "Are you confirming that you're not June?" June sighed, feeling defeated. Yet, he also knew that he could trust Haruto. "You're also taking this surprisingly well," June remarked. "Other people would have passed out now." Haruto shrugged with a fond smile. "These things aren't new. I actually find them interesting," he continued. "Now," he said, leaning against his table. "You must have been placed in Joon-ho's body to achieve his dreams. However, I think you went beyond that." "If June could see himself now, then he would be beyond proud." "We only dread of becoming idols, yet here you are now, being the best in the industry—the top idol." June shook his head in amusent. "However, I'm also assuming that being an idol is not your only purpose in this world," Haruto added. June pursed his lips before nodding. Haruto's smile widened as he opened his arms, offering himself. "Well, you're in luck! Joon-ho has such a powerful friend." "So, tell what you need, and I'll do it to the best of my capacity," Haruto said. June also leaned against his seat, his face turning serious. "I ca here with a bigger purpose," June said. "I already have a plan, so I need your help executing it." "I'm going to change the idol industry," June said with determination. "I'm down," Haruto said. "That's also what I've been planning to do in the first place." "What's our first action?" he asked. "Before all of that, I need you to help eliminate the people from my past that keep haunting my present." Haruto raised one of his eyebrows. "Eliminate as in?" "Kill," June said without any remorse, making Haruto smirk. "That's more like it," he said. June nodded and presented a na. "Chul," he said. "I need him gone. I believe this will be a good way to intimidate the opponent." Haruto's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, making June confused. "What?" he asked. "I've also looked into it," Haruto said. "I was afraid that he was going to be let off because of his psychological instability. So, I took it upon myself to look into his whereabouts after everything that had happened." "However, it seems like another person has beat to it." June's frown deepened. "What do you an?" he asked. "Chul is dead," Haruto revealed. June's world paused for a mont. However, after that, he realized that it didn't sound too surprising. Chul was just a pawn in their ga, so the fact that he failed to do his task ant that he had a high chance of dying. "We tried looking into the killers, but it seems like they are also skilled," Haruto continued. June shook his head. "I know them," he said. Haruto was taken aback. "Are they the people in your past?" June nodded. "It's no surprise that they're not the ones acting upon their plans. From the very start, they had used lowlives to execute their dirty work." "However, it's ti for that to stop." "So, instead of Chul, I have another person for you," he smirked, taking the pen from Haruto's table and grabbing a folder from Haruto's stack of files. He wrote down the na before passing it back to Haruto. Haruto's eyebrows furrowed as he silently read the na. Then, his eyes widened in surprise. "Isn't this—" June nodded before Haruto could even finish his statent. "Can you do this for ?" he asked. Haruto's eyebrows furrowed as he nodded with determination. "I will do my very best," he said. "Give a week."
"I shall grant you protection, too," Haruto added. "It's the least I could do for being your only friend in the past. June smirked as he leaned against his chair. "Once they go low, I can get lower," June remarked, causing a shiver to run down Haruto's spine. At that mont, he felt like he was in the presence of quite an amazing man. Just then, June's alarm rang, making Haruto jump in his wheelchair. June quickly retrieved his phone to turn it off. "Sorry for that," he said. "I need to head back now. I have to sleep early because I have a brand shoot tomorrow." Haruto shook his head in amusent at the sudden shift in his attitude. "What kind of shoot?" Haruto asked. "Oh, for a toilet cleaner."
