Chapter 871: The Key Item



"Dang," Akira muttered. "I wanted to go to the show, too!"

Ren looked at him with raised eyebrows. "You're just saying that in theory," he said. "You definitely can't live in the middle of nowhere without your phone."

"I definitely can," Akira boasted, squaring his shoulders. "You don't know me!"

"You can't," Ren said, challenging his statement.

"Without your favorite food?"

Akira clicked his tongue. "Easy! We'd just hunt some chickens and fry them on the spot."

"Without your video games?"

Akira pursed his lips. "It's only a little more than a week. I can survive that long."

"Without your favorite dramas?"

Akira's eyes twitched, already feeling challenged. "Well..."

"Without looking at the trends? You have the worst case of FOMO," Ren continued.

Akira sighed. That was his breaking point.

"You're right. I'm happy I won't be there."

"Oh no, my dramas," Jisung exclaimed, already in distress. "How am I going to live without watching my favorite shows?"

Sehun chuckled and patted Jisung's back. "Looks like you have to let it go."

Meanwhile, Casper was awfully quiet.

"Hey," Zeth said. "You alright?"

Casper shook his head. "I'm not going to see you guys for a while."

"You'll be with Jisung," Jaeyong pointed out.

Yet, Casper's eyes automatically turned to June, who was busy texting someone on his phone.

June felt Casper's gaze on the side of his face, so he lifted his head and looked at him with one eyebrow raised.

"What?" he asked.

"Why can't you go?" Casper exclaimed, sounding desperate. "It would be more fun if you were there."

"That's true!" Jisung exclaimed. "I feel safe when June's there. I feel like we'll be able to eat well if he joins."

Haruto shook his head in amusement. "Would it hurt for you to knock?"

"Let's cut to the chase," June said. "I have some free time while my members go off to a show. After that, I'll be fully focused on the comeback, so we need to speed things up."

"I know," Haruto said. "That's why I called you today."

June nodded, already expecting something big. Although Haruto was annoying most of the time, he was a great source of information. It also seemed like he was very interested in this

case.

"So?" June asked.

Haruto looked around the room before pointing to a stack of boxes on the side.

June frowned as he scrutinized it. "What are those?" he asked. "Headphones?"

Haruto innocently nodded. "I saw that you liked them in the show, so I bought more for you."

June sighed and massaged the bridge of his nose. "Seriously, why do you do this before getting to the important part?"

"Don't you like it?" Haruto asked with wide eyes. "These are the limited edition ones. Do you want me to swap them out for you?"

"No," June firmly said. "Just—just thank you," he sighed. "You don't have to do things like

this in the future."

"But I like doing this for you!" Haruto exclaimed.

June shook his head. "Alright, alright. Just do anything you want."

"Now, tell me what I really need."

Haruto sighed before clicking his tongue. "Our friendship is too cold," he started off.

"Anyway," he continued, snapping back to a serious mood. "I called you here because I have something that I think would lead us to the current 'head' of Phoenix."

June nodded, his eyebrows furrowing in curiosity. He even leaned his elbows against Haruto's

table in anticipation.

Haruto pursed his lips before bringing something out from the drawer of his work table.

June held his breath as Haruto lifted the item.

Then, a frown graced his face as Haruto placed it down on the table.

June looked at it with disbelief.

"Sanipoo?"
