’This was all Yeo Haru’s fault!’
The reason why he was suddenly no longer eligible for the event was because of that guy.
"Because so mbers tried to change their stage na without consideration. We’ve decided to just select the mbers who are in need to change their stage nas."
Mini Plotter also seed to an sothing else.
’It’s because you’re shit at naming yourself, you’re no longer eligible for the event.’
Rayen felt bumd all day after learning he couldn’t change his stage na at all, he was in no mood to try to think of a song at all.
So, yesterday ended up being an unproductive day.
The next day...
As soon as Rayen opened his eyes, he was t with the sa scene as yesterday. Once again, Drake was inside their bedroom, trying to drag Yeo Haru from his bed.
However, with the disappointnt from being unable to change his stage na being added to Yeo Haru’s burden, his body beca heavier, causing Drake to be unable to drag him.
Huffing, Drake gave up pulling Yeo Haru. He dragged his hand across his mohawk, ssing it up. He seed on the verge of giving up.
"Why am I stuck as this kid’s babysitter while that beep Jeongwoon can have a nice job?" Drake said. "I shouldn’t have wasted so many petals for you, good-for-nothing, ungrateful brat."
Despite the harsh words, Yeo Haru didn’t respond to his manager.
Just then, Drake noticed Rayen’s presence. The two of them stared at each other.
"....."
"Did I disturb you?" Drake asked.
Rayen only smiled. "No. Not at all."
At this point, he could now understand why Plotter kept smiling when he felt annoyed.
"Sorry," Drake said.
"No. It’s fine." Rayen kept his poker face smiling.
As he said that, he left his bed and the two of them. Ren was no longer in their room, having left early.
What an early bird. And didn’t he sleep late last night? Is that why he always had eyeliner on, to hide his already dark bags?
Arriving in the living room, Rayen was unexpectedly t with a similar scene — this ti, in front of Xu Jiji’s luxurious room door.
Mr. Big News and Iris stood in front of the room, together with Vance who had a dark look on his face.
"....."
’What the hell is happening?’
The rest of the mbers were also wondering about the sa thing.
Just then, Drake also followed Rayen out of the room. When he saw Vance’s dark face, Drake approached him.
"What happened?"
Vance glanced at Drake, his eyes montarily stopping at his ssy mohawk before inadvertently looking down.
"Jiji is acting like a brat..."
Drake laughed wryly. "Well, at least yours don’t act like a brat every day."
Vance ignored his words and continued to explain. "He said he didn’t want to go to school."
"Wasn’t he so enthusiastic about it just yesterday?"
Vance sighed, no longer wanting to say more. Instead, he just left, followed by the similarly stressed Drake.
Mr. Big News turned to look at Iris. "Should we go check on Jiji?"
For a mont, Iris remained tight-lipped before finally speaking. "You want to go in?"
"Can’t you?" Mr. Big News asked.
"No, I don’t want to. His temper in the morning is..."
Then, she shut her mouth, no longer explaining. Instead, she just went to the dining room. Both Rayen and Mr. Big News was left hanging.
’What about Jiji’s temper in the morning? Can’t you at least tell us?’
Left with no choice, Mr. Big News summoned his courage to knock on Xu Jiji’s room.
"Jiji, are you in there? Let’s go for breakfast."
They were t by silence. Half a minute later, they heard the door lock being clicked open. Mr. Big News glanced back at Rayen then nodded.
Rayen pointed at himself.
"You want to co with you?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, well..."
He didn’t have a choice. Even if Rayen chose to refuse, it seed like Mr. Big News would still drag him inside. Just looking at his humongous build, Rayen looked like a small child. No way, he would be able to beat him in a scuffle.
And so, the two of them entered the luxurious bedroom.
Rayen also agreed with it since he felt curious just how the Luxurious Bedroom looks inside.
The room was huge. There was a large vintage chandelier hanging on the ceiling, and the walls were decorated with intricate carvings. It looked like an extravagant hall of a palace.
’Isn’t this too much?’
Soon, they arrived at the king-sized bed. Behind the semi-transparent curtain, they could see Xu Jiji lying on the bed.
"Jiji?" Mr. Big News called.
Gradually, Xu Jiji sat up. Unexpectedly, he was already in his uniform, and he didn’t look like he had just woken up at all.
Mr. Big News stood beside the bed, observing him.
"Why didn’t you go to school?"
Xu Jiji looked up at him.
"I don’t want to go..."
"Why?" Mr. Big News asked.
Xu Jiji bit his lips, not answering.
"... Do you really not want to go to school?" Rayen asked.
Xu Jiji’s bright, round eyes landed on him. "I want..."
"Then why didn’t you?"
Once again, he bit his lips.
"It’s okay. You don’t have to tell us if you don’t want to," Mr. Big News consoled. "Let’s just go and get breakfast."
Xu Jiji nodded. The two of them sighed in relief.
But before they went out, Xu Jiji changed into a different set of clothes.
A few monts later, the three of them all went to the dining room together. The others had already gathered there, including Yeo Haru, but the food before them was left untouched. They were waiting for them to arrive.
It’s not that they suddenly felt like waiting for the three of them, it’s just that no one had the courage to start eating first.
As soon as Rayen saw the purple dishes in the room, Rayen’s face paled. Because Mr. Big News was busy consoling Xu Jiji, he didn’t have ti to check on Xi Huan.
Still, Rayen sat down in his seat with the others.
If he didn’t know how it tasted, he would have run.
Usually, it would be lively with both Xi Huan and Yeo Haru ssing around, but today, Yeo Haru was really in no mood to play, and Xu Jiji was even more downhearted, so Xi Huan was also in no mood to joke around.
When Xu Jiji nonchalantly ate the terrible-looking dish, Adrian announced to start eating. Rayen also dived in. He took a spoonful with closed eyes. The others also did the sa.
Without looking at it, they could imagine that what they were eating looked pleasing to the eye.
And just as he imagined, it tasted heavenly.
Rayen almost cried while eating.
Just then, he heard a sniffing sound. Simultaneously, they all opened their eyes and glanced in the direction of the source of the sound.
Then, they saw Xu Jiji was literally crying.
