?
"No..."
"Leave me alone..."
A woman showed up in the middle of the forest, her facial features occluded by her long dark hair.
"I'm here," she whispered, echoing through the woods.
"I've been here all along! I've been hinting that it's me."
"Find me."
"Find me, June."
Just then, he heard what seemed to be a chuckle. However, it wasn't manic-not even intimidating. In fact, it sounded warm...and familiar.
However, just as he was about to bask in the warmth of the familiar laughter, the woman came charging toward him at full speed.
June jolted awake, breathing heavily as he looked around the small room. He placed his hand over his racing heart and calmed down when he realized it was just a nightmare.
"What the heck was that?" he muttered.
Was it because of that old woman? How could Ramil PD casually reveal that she has been dead for three years?
June shook his head. The world was strange, for sure.
But then again, he was the one who experienced transmigration. In life, unexplainable things just happen.
He glanced at the analog clock on the wall and saw that it was already 4 in the morning. Well, there was no way he would be able to go back to sleep at that point. So, with that, he quietly got up from his bed and went down to the kitchen.
He opened the fridge to grab some water. There was nothing like downing a crisp glass of water at dawn. He sighed in relief when it hit the right places.
Then, he stretched his body, wondering what he should do until the other cast members woke up.
"Should we cook breakfast?" he muttered.
He rummaged through the fridge for the bananas and corn that the other team had set aside. However, he realized that they were already gone.
"Huh," he said. "Did we eat them all?"
June remembered them setting aside a few so they could have some for breakfast. They had expected that it would get harder to fight for food in the next few days.
June shrugged and closed the refrigerator. They still had some fresh vegetables planted in the garden, so he might as well use those.
"Hmm," June hummed, nodding to himself. He grabbed his jacket and placed it on, about to go out of the house to harvest some vegetables when he suddenly heard some strange sounds coming from the back of the house.
June frowned and hesitated.
"Holy crap," he whispered. As far as he knew, the staff members came to the house at around 6 AM. The other cast members were also fast asleep, so there was no other plausible explanation for the noise.
Did the dead old lady follow him here?
June felt a shiver run down his spine, but he mustered up the courage to walk to the back of the house. As he got nearer and nearer, the groaning sounds also became louder. His frown deepened, and his steps became even more quiet and calculated.
Then, the sound became even more vivid. With that, June peeked through the wall, expecting to see the old woman that haunted him earlier on.
However, the scene before him was even more shocking.
June's eyebrows raised in surprise.
What was he doing here?
***
Lei's hands shook as June's clips haunted his Navel feed. Even if he had already blocked most accounts related to June, he still managed to worm his way into Lei's routine!
So many people were talking about the already popular idol-and not in the way that Lei would have wanted. June was the talk of the town because of his good deeds and down-to- earth personality.
He didn't even speak much in the show, but why was it that he still had the most screentime?
Lei shook his head, trying to find something positive amidst all of this.
"The higher he is, the more devastating the fall," he whispered, a small smile finally appearing on his face.
With that, he clicked away from Navel and headed straight to the album preparations of EVE.
He listened to their improved title track and nodded to himself. It was definitely going to be a
hit. It seemed like Ren was more talented at this than he had thought.
However, his work was interrupted when Dan entered through the doors, appearing breathless and excited.
Lei lifted his head and raised one eyebrow.
"I told you not to interrupt me if it's not for a good reason. We are busy with the album preparations," he deadpanned, going back to listening to the song.
Dan breathed heavily, trying to calm down his beating heart.
"No, sir. This is important," he said.
Lei clicked his tongue and half-closed his laptop before crossing his arms in front of his
chest.
"This better be good," Lei said.
"Yes, sir," Dan said, not being able to contain his smile. "I know that we've been looking for so long, but I believe that he's finally been found."
Lei's eyebrows relaxed, feeling adrenaline course through his veins. He already had a hunch about what it would be, but he still needed to make sure.
"Who?" he asked.
Dan smirked as he showed his phone to Lei. It was an address, along with a photo of a large house. It was the type of house that was reminiscent of that in the hit movie-'Parasight.'
"The head, sir," Dan said.
"We finally found him."
"Kwan Kim."
Dan scrolled through his phone and showed Lei another photo. It was a man, appearing to be his age. It lined up perfectly. Based on Phoenix's founder's biography, his son would be
around the same age.
"How are you sure?" Lei asked, still wanting more assurance.
Dan smirked. "He has a mysterious background-so we can never be too sure. However, his net worth is similar to that of what the owner of Phoenix would make."
"Moreover, his age lines up. Based on the timeline, the current 'head' would be around his
age," he continued.
"And last but not least, he is part of the integral 'Kim' family tree-one that Kim Youngdo
belongs in."
Lei's eyebrows raised in curiosity.
"The one and only nephew of Kim Youngdo."
