Chapter 914: Hang Out Soon?
"Nothing ever goes smoothly with our plans," Lei said, massaging the bridge of his nose. "Don't you agree?"
Dan pursed his lips. "I'm sorry, sir," he said. "If it makes you feel better, the apology video is well-received."
"Do you think that can make up for the damage that he had done to his reputation? He was supposed to be June's replacement!"
Dan sighed. "I know, sir. I talked to him already, and it seems like he's really repenting." "What could repenting even do in this situation, huh? Will it take back what he had done?"
Dan pursed his lips and didn't say anything further.
Lei massaged his temples and let out a deep sigh.
"Anyway, is he learning the songs well?"
"Yes," Dan proudly said. "I think he will blend right into EVE. Are you still going to put him in the group, sir?"
"Yes," Lei said. "EVE is bound to be an eight-member group, through and through."
"Is he going to be the center?" Dan asked.
"No," Lei deadpanned. "Do you think he's good enough to be the center? After 'Everyday, Everynight,' I've already found the perfect replacement for June as EVE's center."
A small smile appeared on Dan's face. "Jisung," he said.
Lei nodded. "That boy is gaining fans left and right, and I heard he's the most popular among teens, too. He may not be of the same caliber as June just yet, but there will come a time when he will."
"Alongside that, he's much easier to manipulate than June," he smirked.
"But, would it really be okay to add Joonie into the group?" Dan asked.
"Yes," Lei said, crossing his arms in front of his chest. "EVE is barely a one-year-old group. They would forget June with time. However, EVE would continue to skyrocket into fame. We need to capitalize on each member-especially now that more artists and opportunities are heading our way," he smirked.
Although his plan didn't go smoothly, Lei believed he had the upper hand because the 'head' was already on his side. With each passing day, his friendship with Kwan became deeper and deeper.
"When are we going to launch this plan into action, sir?" Dan asked, already elated with the thought.
"As soon as possible," Lei said. "Within this week, maybe?"
"That early, sir?" Dan asked with wide eyes.
"It's already long overdue," Lei sighed. "I have been wanting to launch this plan since I sat on the CEO's position. However, nothing ever turned out the way I wanted."
"Now, we have everything we need. I just need to press one more button."
"And what about Joonie, sir? Don't you think we need to let this scandal die down for a couple more weeks?"
"I bet," June chuckled. "Anyway, why did you call?"
"Are you free to hang out?" Minjun asked.
June pursed his lips and recalled his schedule. "We're preparing for a comeback."
"Finally," Minjun said.
"So...," June trailed.
"That means that you don't have any time?" Minjun asked, already sounding upset.
"Yup," June said. "Sorry, kiddo. It's going to get really busy from now on. We have to prepare
for our world tour right after."
Minjun groaned. "Why do idols have to be so busy?"
June chuckled and leaned against the wall. "Why are you even asking? I thought you were
banned from seeing me."
"That's right," Minjun said. "My mom still believes you're a bad influence. However, ever
since she's been busy making kissy faces with her new boyfriend, she hasn't looked out for me
too much."
June's eyebrows raised in surprise.
"Lena has a boyfriend?"
"They're getting to know each other, apparently," Minjun sighed. "But if you ask me, I don't
really like that guy for her."
June continued chuckling, his shoulders shaking from the action.
"Well, maybe that would make her less grumpy."
"I wish," Minjun said. "It just took away more of my time with her," he muttered.
"Minjun," June muttered, sensing the sadness in his tone.
"Anyway," Minjun said. "I think it would be a while until we get to hang out."
"Yeah," June sighed.
"Maybe when you lose your job, we'll finally see each other."
