Chapter 1021: Sweet, Little Sue
Chapter 1021: Sweet, Little Sue
– Honestly, a lot of us needed to hear that.
– Yeah, my delusions were getting too real for a moment.
– Wait, some of you aren’t joking?
– Why do you think they have so many sasaengs?
– Seriously, though. I know we’re not friends in real life. I hope you are well, so I will also maintain my distance.
“I think they’re sad now, June,” Jisung said, chuckling as he read through the comments. June chuckled along with him. “Don’t take it negatively,” he said. “Like I said, we have a special relationship that only we know of. It’s not personal, but it’s still special.”
“Yeah,” Jisung smiled. “I just hope we stay happy for a long time. Try not to engage in negativity because liking idols should be an enjoyable hobby! Along with that, I hope you guys respect our boundaries, too. In that way, we can all have a happy time.”
“That’s true,” June said. “We don’t want to resent you guys.”
“June!” Jisung exclaimed. “I thought you wanted to show your best self to them!”
“This is my best self,” June said. “My honest self. It’s something that has to be said-not only for our group but for those who are actively promoting, too. I’m also taking into
consideration the younger groups that would be debuting.”
– Ah, such a thoughtful senior.
– His words stung because they were true.
– Yeah. As June said, it shouldn’t be taken negatively. This does not change anything. He just wants us to know that we don’t know each other in real life.
– He’s setting a boundary-which is needed because we’re fans and they’re idols. That’s just the way it is. That’s how it will always be.
“Anyway,” Jisung smiled. “We just wanted to greet you guys since it’s been a while! We’re actually heading back from a shoot. Please look forward to it!”
With that, Jisung ended the live, turning to June with wide eyes.
“Was that okay?” he asked.
“The live?” June clarified.
Jisung innocently nodded.
June shook his head in amusement. “Of course, it’s okay. It’s not like we said anything bad.”
“But I told them to respect our boundaries,” Jisung said.
June clicked his tongue. “Are you hearing yourself right now? We shouldn’t need to ask others to respect our boundaries in the first place! Besides, this is a good step for what I’m about to do,” he said.
Jisung tilted his head to the side in confusion. “What are you trying to do?” he asked.
June crossed his arms in front of his chest. “Don’t worry. It’s not anything illegal. Instead, I’m actually on the side of legality this time! Go law!”
Jisung scratched the back of his neck. “Somehow, that makes me even more nervous.”
June shook his head. Honestly, he initially didn’t want to go through it. He could go the dirty route and show Mia that she was messing with the wrong idol. However, June suddenly thought of Jisung and realized there were many idols like him.
So, he decided to put in some extra effort to help the likes of Jisung.
Or maybe it was just Jisung.
June definitely had a soft spot for Jisung.
‘No, I don’t,’ June thought.
Well, could you blame him?
Jisung was the first contestant to approach him back in Rising Stars! He was also the one who believed in him through and through, no matter how many challenges they faced together.
So, if you were asking June, then he would say that he was just returning the favor.
He definitely did not have a soft spot for Jisung!

June leaned against the conference room table, appearing casual amidst the stiff suits and stern faces gathered around him. Jay sat beside him, his lips pressed into a thin smile.
One of the board directors, a middle-aged man with a balding head and sharp glasses, cleared his throat. “We rarely see idols at these meetings,” he remarked, looking over at June. “It’s quite a change of pace.”
A woman beside him, one of their company lawyers with a sleek bob haircut, leaned in to whisper, though not quietly enough. “June is so handsome in person,” she murmured to her colleague.
June met their eyes, flashing a small, charming smile that only added to the whispers.
The company’s head lawyer, an older woman with silver-streaked hair, tapped her pen against the table. “Alright, let’s cut to the chase,” she said, eyes narrowing as she surveyed the room. “What’s happening here? Why was this meeting called? And most importantly, why is June here?”
Jay leaned back, unbuttoning his blazer as he took out a slim folder from his briefcase. “I thought you’d never ask!” he lightheartedly exclaimed like he wasn’t the CEO of a multi- million company. He passed the folder to the lawyer, who raised a brow before taking it.
“You’re about to see something interesting,” Jay continued. “But before I explain, let me ask you all something. Did you really think June was just another pretty face here to sing and
dance?”
June rolled his eyes. “Stop making it seem like a commercial, Jay,” he said.
The board of directors turned to each other with surprise. It was the first time they had seen the idol speak over their CEO!
And Jay took it well, too! What was this dynamic?
“Can you please just answer our questions?” one of the lawyers said. They truly weren’t used to idols being in the room. Usually, it was just the board of directors who would complain! Not only that, but it took a long time before these meetings were even initiated!
“Oh, sorry,” Jay said with a chuckle. “Just got a bit excited there.”
Jay slid one final paper across the table. It was a legal notice.
“Well, I know this is pretty uncommon for idols, but hey, Phoenix wants to be the pioneer of these things! What our idols want, our idols get-that is if it’s reasonable enough.”
“Anyway! I’m rambling again,” Jay chuckled, scratching the back of his neck.
“Can you just help June sue someone?”
