Chapter 1016: Series of Events
To make matters worse, it didn't end with that.
Between rehearsals, unexpected schedule changes, and their growing fandom, the boys barely had a moment to breathe.
The public had caught onto it, too.
- DAWN looks so tired these days.
- I heard they're preparing for a concert.
- But that's the only thing they're doing right now. They look way more exhausted.
- Have you guys heard about the sasaeng that went up in their vents?
- What? Where did you hear that from?
- From my mom, who is friends with the owner of the restaurant next to the hotel where they had a shoot. That restaurant lady was having a fling with the security personnel, so he told her the story.
- Honestly, that's a credible source.
Truly, the members of DAWN were having the worst week ever.
The day they got home after their photoshoot, Ren saw an unfamiliar envelope slip under June's front door. He picked it up, eyeing it suspiciously.
"Uh, June, you got mail?" Ren said, waving the pink letter in the air.
June frowned, taking it from him. He opened it, half-expecting it to be from a fan, but as he read the contents, a chill ran down his spine.
> Dear June,
> I've been watching you for a long time now. I found your place. It can be our place soon. Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you. I just want to see you smile in person.
> Love, your biggest fan.
The room fell silent as June's expression darkened. The letter itself was oddly innocent, but it was the implication that was disturbing-someone had really found out where he lived.
"Who the hell would send this?" Jaeyong muttered.
Akira leaned over to read the letter, shaking his head. "I don't know, but they shouldn't be able to get your address like this. This is bad."
June crumpled the letter in his hand. "This is getting out of hand. I'll talk to Marcus."
The next incident came a few days later when they were filming VCRs for their upcoming concert. The production team had booked a quiet studio space for privacy, but when DAWN arrived, a small crowd had already gathered outside. The members shared confused glances, knowing that their schedule wasn't public.
"Why are there so many people here?" Zeth asked, peering out the tinted window of their van. Sehun checked his phone, frowning. "No one posted about this location. It's weird."
Bo Wen tried to usher them through the crowd as quickly as possible, but it was impossible to avoid the pushing and shoving. Hands reached out, grabbing at their clothes. Someone even pulled on Jisung's hoodie, yanking him backward.
The room fell silent again.
It was honestly the most plausible explanation for all of this. These events started right after it. However, June found it hard to believe that a young girl would be able to do such things.
But then again, June knew not to underestimate the capabilities of other people. He knew just how scary human beings could be.
Jaeyong rubbed the back of his neck, clearly agitated. "We need to bring this up with the company," he said firmly. "They need to start an investigation. This isn't something we can
just handle on our own."
"Jay is the company," Akira said, shaking his head in amusement.
Jay pursed his lips. "We're trying," he said. "However, we haven't seen any traces of this
person just yet."
Jisung nodded, but he still looked defeated. His eyes were distant as if he were replaying every unsettling encounter in his mind.
June watched him carefully, his lips pursed. He hated seeing Jisung like this-defeated,
scared. It wasn't like him at all.
Without a word, June stood up and grabbed his jacket.
"Where are you going?" Akira asked.
"I'll buy you something," June said simply, glancing at Jisung. "You need a distraction."
"You have to be careful," Ren said.
June shook his head. "You guys don't have to worry about me."
Jisung gave a small, grateful smile, but it didn't reach his eyes. June's heart ached a little at
the sight, and he hurried out of the apartment, heading for the convenience store just below
their building.
The air outside was crisp, so he took a deep breath, trying to clear his head. He was just
reaching the entrance of the store when he saw a familiar silhouette standing by the alley.
He stopped dead in his tracks, squinting against the streetlights.
A small smile made its way to his lips.
It had been a while since they saw each other.
"Jia!"
