Chapter 498 Bad, Bad Company
"Are you guys sure we shouldn't call the police?" Jay asked, biting his lips in nervousness.
The boys were now back in their dorms after nicking the footage from the security room and keeping it to themselves.
June pursed his lips and thought about his next move. It was hasty for him to clean up the crime scene, but his past instincts kicked in before he could stop himself.
You always clean up the crime scene.
However, he was on the opposite spectrum now—he was a victim.
June tossed his phone to Jay, revealing the multiple videos he took of the scene.
"Here. You can also show them the video footage of the break-in." This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
"I don't know how the referral system works in the company, but I'm guessing you need to speak with the higher-ups before reporting it.," he said.
Jay pursed his lips. "Yeah," he sighed. "Anything that happens with you guys is to be reported to the higher-ups, or else I can lose my job."
Aside from all the reasons he mentioned, this was the main reason why he was so hesitant to share such information.
It didn't take him long to realize that Azure wasn't the best company out there. In fact, they weren't even good. They were the type of company that didn't care much about their artists' well-being. BOYMYSTIC and GIRLS' EVOLUTION were a testimony to that. They were famous because of their loyal fans, but they endured so much from the company that it also hindered their growth.
June could still remember Jordan's story of when they were being chased by a crazy fan in their car but were only reprimanded for sneaking out past their curfew.
"Let's hope they do something," June sighed.
However, he wasn't hoping for anything at all.
If the company does nothing, then he'd take the matters into his own hands.
"I still don't get her message, though," Sehun said, pacing back and forth in the room.
They were now in their dorms after nicking the footage from the security room and keeping it to themselves.
"He's mine?" Casper asked, also confused. "Are they saying that Luther is theirs? I haven't even publicly revealed him yet. Now, I don't know if I ever want to."
"Who are they talking about then?" Zeth asked. "Did you do anything unusual? Maybe it's a personal vendetta since she didn't touch any of our things?"
"That doesn't explain why she went crazy after not being able to open June's room, though," Ren remarked.
June sighed, standing as he continued looking at the woman's photo saved on his phone.
It was blurry because of the shitty quality of the CCTV camera. There wasn't a way to recognize her by the photo alone. Jay also called the housekeeping facility, but they said that they weren't scheduled to clean EVE's room today.
His members nodded obediently.
"Don't go anywhere without telling Jay, and make sure to be wary of your surroundings," he continued.
"And lastly...don't trust people so easily now. Not even our fans," June said.
The members looked at each other with hesitation before eventually agreeing.
It was truly a cruel world out there.
"Now, let's all go and rest. We have to record the title track tomorrow and learn the choreography. We also have to finish our own song so we could forward it to the A&R team."
"Yeah," Jay sighed. "You all had a long day. I'll be here early tomorrow to come fetch you guys."
"Good night, guys."
"See you all tomorrow."
"Can I stay with—"
"Yes, you can sleep in my room, Jisung."
The members dispersed and went to their own rooms.
June, too, stood and finally unlocked his door. Truly, there wasn't anything out of place, so he knew that the woman wasn't able to break in.
Then, as he walked to his window to open it and get some fresh air, Fu popped up before him.
[Congratulations on your first crazy (literally) fan!]
"Is that really something to congratulate me about?" June muttered.
[However, crazy fans are bad for your health!]
[So, the system has a special mission for the host. The title of the mission is: Literally Crazy For You.]
[Get rid of the crazy fan and have the chance to earn another skill!]
[Skill at stake: Stage presence]
[Deadline: 96 hours]
[Failure to get rid of said fan will lead to a multiplication of crazy fans!]
