Chapter 427 Life of a Criminal (2)
June didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky. 'Life of a Criminal' was a movie he enjoyed because it was one of the few movies that actually portrayed the world of crime realistically. It was filled with dramatic scenes that showed that criminals aren't exactly as heartless as other people make them out to be. It hit close to home once again. June knew he had committed plenty of crimes in his life, but most of those were executed due to the inescapable cruelty of life itself. The others murmured among themselves as soon as June revealed the scenario he had chosen. "Poor June," Y said. "That's definitely the hardest scenario today." "Man, I love that movie," Zibo said. "I really hope June doesn't ruin it for me."
"I thought I was unlucky," Nico sighed in relief. "Turns out, he's much unluckier than I am. I can't even imagine acting out that scene."
"That scene made me cry really bad," Jaeyong said. "That's not a surprise," Akira retorted. Jaeyong slapped the back of his head. "I didn't even cry much before I met June." Jisung chuckled at their leader. "He's finally admitting that he became a crybaby after meeting June." nove(l)bi(n.)com
Jaeyong clicked his tongue. "You've been a crybaby even before you met him. I don't think you have the right to talk." Jisung pursed his lips and focused his gaze on June. His five minutes had just started, but it didn't seem like he was studying the script. Instead, his gaze was merely focused on the piece of paper, appearing to be thinking about something deep. Jisung frowned, wondering what June was thinking about. Did he give up on the challenge already?
A heavy silence settled, broken only by June's exasperated sigh. He found himself transported back to a time when he had a similar conversation with Mei Ling. It was the time she wanted him to break away from the gang, but that meant they would lose their house and everything Jun Hao had worked hard for. "Just go home," June dismissed. "I'll handle it. I'll surrender myself to the police." Anger sparked in Seobin's eyes. "You didn't do anything wrong! Why are you giving up everything for me? It doesn't make sense!"
June looked away and shook his head. "It's not about what I did. It's about what I could've prevented. I can't let you go down the same path I did."
"Then, what? You'll go back to that rotting prison to pay for the sins you didn't even do?" Seobin asked. A small smile appeared on June's lips, but his eyes were a different story. They were filled with sadness, and they glistened with unshed tears. Hana gasped softly as she stared into his eyes.
"I deserve it," June defeatedly said.
