Chapter 907: June, The Fixer
Chapter 907: June, The Fixer
There it was.
The accusation.
June saw it coming, so he wasn't really surprised. However, his nonchalance somehow concerned the other cast members.
- What the heck? Did June really take those cupcakes?
-No way! He's a top star.
- All the more reason why we would steal some. He's used to getting what he wants.
- I don't think we know the same June here.
- Oh, I would be pissed.
- Joonie has a point, though! June was the very last person to leave the kitchen. He was also the one who discovered it-like he said.
Casper sighed. "Let's not jump to conclusions here. June took up the responsibility of baking, packing, and cleaning up. We also have no proof of him doing so."
Joonie pursed his lips. "I know. I really don't want to accuse any of you. However, I'm just considering everybody's well-being. We haven't had a proper meal for what? Two or three days now? And we're finally given an opportunity to mingle with the villagers and also eat to our heart's content."
"This is the only reason why I'm doing this," he sighed.
"Like I said, we won't be mad, June. You can tell us if you did it, and we'll forgive you. We know how hard it is to resist the temptation. Just like life, we face so many temptations each day. We battle our own fights. We won't judge you for that. It's just how it is," Joonie continued.
-Ah, Joonie is so wise!
-What was that shallow speech for? Is this guy imitating June?
- STFU! He's comforting your thief idol, but you're calling him shallow?
June slightly frowned. Was that his attempt at an inspiring speech? He shook his head and pursed his lips to hide his smile.
"Let's not blame June," Mimi quickly said. "We really don't know who took it!"
Ramil PD sighed, also not comprehending the situation. However, as someone who didn't know June that much and who trusted Joonie because of the past season, the director was inclined to believe the latter.
"Talk about it among yourselves," he said before glancing at his watch. "You have around half an hour to either produce those missing cupcakes or to explain what really happened."
With that, Ramil PD turned to leave, but not without giving them some very important advice.
"Oh, and make sure to argue in front of the camera, alright?" he exclaimed before finally turning to leave.
- Thanks, Ramil PD, for providing us with good entertainment!
- I am so invested in this. Who the hell stole those cupcakes?
- It's June. No doubt about it.
- Ugh. I knew that guy was strange. I had a feeling I didn't like him since the very first episode, and I was right.
- Me too.
- Not all of you switching up so fast when nothing has even been confirmed!
"They're gone," Joonie said. "We can be honest now."
Pablo pointed at the camera. "Are we just going to ignore the big-ass camera in front of us right now?"
Hana sighed and scratched the back of her head. Then, she turned to June. "Did you really do it?" she asked.
June crossed his arms in front of his chest. "What do you think? Did I do it?"
Hana groaned along with the others.
"Why won't you answer the question in a straightforward manner?" Hana exclaimed. "As Joonie said, we won't blame you for what had happened."
Amusement swirled in June's eyes. "You're already frowning, though."
Joonie sighed. "Can you cooperate with us, June?" he asked. "We're genuinely concerned for you. We're also concerned about the villagers. You said so yourself-we're doing this for them."
June nodded to himself. "Do you really want to continue with this?" he asked.
Joonie frowned, confused by his off-topic question. "What do you mean?"
"Alright," June said. "Two can play that game."
"Huh?"
The others were also confused, wondering where the conversation was going.
"Well, it seems like everyone has some sort of suspicion that it was me who did it," June started off.
"You're not answering the question," Haruki said.
"I know," June retorted. "However, let me throw that question back to you, guys-do you really think I would be able to do something like this?"
They turned silent and looked down at the ground. Casper and Jisung, however, firmly shook their heads.
- Aww, I knew it! Those two have June's back.
- Well, they doubted him so many times already. I would assume that June always turned out right.
- I bet they also had a fair share of those cupcakes.
- EVE, thief idols!
"I'll let you guys think what you want to think," June said, crossing his arms in front of his
chest.
With that, he turned away from the group.
"Where are you going?" Casper exclaimed as June opened the door.
"To fix this," he said.
With that, he closed the door behind him, leaving the team and the audience to wonder what
was really happening.
June looked for Ramil PD and saw him in his hammock, eating a cupcake that was significantly prettier than the ones they made.
"PD," he started off, capturing his attention.
Ramil PD's eyes widened in surprise. The other staff members, too, turned to June with amazed expressions. They saw him every day in the shoot, but it was still shocking every timen/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
they saw him.
"Can I talk to you?" June asked.
"Go ahead," Ramil PD said. "Are you going to confess that you did it?"
June smirked. "No," he responded.
Ramil tilted his head to the side. "Then, what did you come here for?"
"Remember the prize that I won during 'Company's Company?"" June started off.
Ramil PD raised one eyebrow before slowly nodding. "Yes," he trailed off. "What about it?"
"Well, you said that I could redeem it anywhere and anytime I liked," June continued.
Ramil narrowed his eyes. "Don't tell me—"
June nodded. "I want it now. I'll use the chance to let the villagers enjoy the coffee truck."
The director sighed deeply. "I knew that I said those words, but that's not possible. The drive
here from Seoul takes four hours, and we still have to order the service. It would arrive here by tomorrow at this point."
June smirked. "But we already have a food truck."
Ramil PD froze.
Oh.
This guy...is also an evil genius.
