"What?" the others exclaimed in unison.
The sleepiness wore off as they simultaneously went to the fridge. Joonie was the first to react. He gently pushed June to the side to count the number of boxes inside.
Then, his shoulders slumped.
"He's...right," Joonie muttered.
The others began to revolt.
"What do you mean we're missing one box?" Haruki exclaimed. "As far as I know, we created fifty cupcakes—no more, no less."
Hana nodded, her beautiful face graced with a prominent frown. "I may be really hungry, but I counted those cupcakes really well."
"I can assure you that," Mei said, raising her hand.
There was a slight annoyance in everyone's tone. It was obvious that all of them were on edge -as their chance to eat was now in jeopardy.
June sighed and massaged the bridge of his nose. If only they had more ingredients, then he could whip something quickly.
"We're still going to be able to eat, right?" Jisung asked, sounding anxious.
With his question, everyone became rigid.
Pablo groaned and massaged his temples. "Crap," he muttered. "The production crew is not messing with us, right?"
Just then, Ramil PD came to the room.
"Woah," he chuckled. "What are you guys doing here? We still have around two hours left. We'll leave in an hour."
The others looked at each other with hesitation before Casper asked the question.
"PD, did you, perhaps, get one of the boxes of cupcakes inside the fridge?"
Ramil PD immediately frowned. "No," he said. "Why would we do that? Our staff has an amazing food truck that has both savory and sweet things! We even have refreshments."
They couldn't help but scowl. However, it was gone in an instant as they worried more about their cupcakes.
Ramil PD caught onto their silence, narrowing his eyes in suspicion.
"Don't tell me...," he muttered.
Pablo sighed loudly, confirming his speculation.
"You guys didn't finish the mission," Ramil PD said.
kind voice-almost unbelievably so.
"It was...June," Haruki said after a while.
The others, including Ramil PD, all turned to June, who remained composed and nonchalant
amidst all of this.
June pursed his lips and nodded, causing the others to frown slightly.
Jisung, on the other hand, immediately went to his aid.
"He cleaned up all the mess we made," he exclaimed. "He also packed the cupcakes in the
boxes! How can we even accuse him right now?"
"We're not accusing him," Joonie calmly said. "We're just conducting a thorough
investigation."
"As far as I know, everyone else went to sleep after baking the cupcakes. We only woke up
now," he continued.
"Ah," June muttered.
So, this was the route he was going to take?
"That's right," June said, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"I was the last one here. I didn't sleep. I was also the one who discovered the incident," he
said, laying out the facts.
Joonie sighed and walked to where June was, gently holding onto his hand.
"I know that you've been working hard for all of us. You cook us meals, and you also eat the
least."
June pursed his lips. He didn't think he would notice that.
"You could have told us, June," he continued, appearing concerned.
"We could have spared some of the batter for you by reducing some from the others."
"You didn't have to take the cupcakes without us knowing."
