"What?" the others exclaimed. "But that's already tomorrow!"
June frowned, unsure of what was happening. "Are you sure?" he asked. "I swear-if you're pulling my leg, then I'll literally break yours in half."
Jay felt a shiver run down his spine, but he nodded with assurance.
"It's already established," he said. "You're going to the village with Jisung and Casper."
Jisung and Casper turned to each other with wide eyes before simultaneously bursting into cheers.
"Yay!" Casper exclaimed, holding hands with Jisung and jumping up and down like a bunch of little school girls.
Meanwhile, June massaged the bridge of his nose, still in disbelief at what was happening.
"What's with the sudden change of mind?" June asked. "Why am I suddenly joining?"
Jay pursed his lips. "Sir Lei thought you would make a great addition to the cast."
June shook his head. That was bullshit!
"Why? Don't you want to go with us?" Casper asked.
"No," June deadpanned without any hesitation. "I told you I had something to do."
Jay felt apologetic since he knew that June wanted to take this time to look for someone. Casper shrugged. "That doesn't matter. You're still going with us anyway."
June shook his head and leaned against the wall, placing his phone inside his pocket.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Jisung exclaimed, wrapping one arm around June's shoulders.
"Let's get to packing!"

June sighed as they sat in Azure Entertainment's first-floor lobby. They were asked to stay there and wait for the production crew to fetch them.
It was early in the morning, with the sun not even having risen.
Casper and Jisung were by his side, appearing grumpy from the early call time.
Jisung turned to June and nudged his side.
"Aren't you tired?" he asked.
"I am," June admitted.
"You should sleep," Casper advised.
June nodded, but even then, he couldn't find it within himself to sleep. His mind was still preoccupied with how he was going to locate the current 'head' of Phoenix while he was in a remote village!
Casper glanced at June's bags and frowned. "Is that the only thing you have?"
"News flash, kid. I've been looking for him for the longest time. I don't know what you want with him, but best believe if I find him, you should start counting your days."
June tried to remain composed, but it was obvious in his expression that he was livid. That seemed to fuel Lei even more.
"Nine days," Lei continued. "Nine days is enough for me to find the person you're looking
for."
"Once that time comes, you'll regret ever crossing my path."
"You'll regret ever challenging me."
"You'll regret what you did to Lin Zhi."
"You will bow to me."
Lei stepped closer and closer to June with every statement.
June bit his lip, trying to control his anger. However, before he could act upon it, the door
burst open, revealing Casper, who had a worried look on his face.
He paused when he saw that Lei was in front of June. He bowed in respect.
"Good morning, sir," he greeted. "You came early?"
"Oh, I didn't leave," Lei smiled. "As the CEO, I have plenty of things to finish...plenty of
people to find," he said, subtly glancing at June.
June clenched his fists by his side while Casper nodded.
"Well, I just came here to fetch June since he took too long. Our transportation is here," he
said.
"Oh, sorry for that," Lei chuckled. "We had such an enjoyable talk that we didn't notice the
time."
"Right, June?" Lei asked.
June remained silent as he walked to where Casper was.
"Well, if you excuse us, sir," Casper said.
Lei nodded, an amused look still on his face.
"Of course," he said. "You guys go ahead."
"June," he called his name, but June didn't bother turning around.
"Have fun!
