Chapter 916: Falling Star
?
"Sexual crime allegations?" Jay eximed as soon as the officers revealed what June was being investigated for.
Then, he turned to June, who shook his head.
"There must be some kind of mistake," Jay said, sounding nervous. "June can''t. I mean, he hasn''t! There''s no way!"
If there was one thing an idol couldn''t bounce back-it was this.
Rightfully so.
There has been a lot of controversy regarding sexual crimes in the entertainment industry. In the past years, there had been some artists who were aired to the public-some involved in big organizations while some in secret rtionships.
Once proven right, the oue was fatal. Most of them fled the country, while some served their sentences. It was a point of no return.
At that point, one''s career would plummet to the ground.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
June pursed his lips.
"These are very serious allegations," he said. "Is there any proof that I had done such?"
"We have ainant," the police officer responded. "We will continue the investigation and the trials, so we came to inform you. However, since there hasn''t been a verdict, you would be booked without detention-which means that you are not going to be detained throughout the course of the investigation."
Jay massaged the bridge of his nose and paced back and forth.
"This can''t be," he muttered. "You''re using June-of all people?"
"Again, sir, none of these has been confirmed-which is why we are investigating it properly. It will be done through the virtue ofw."
Jay was ready to burst out of anger. However, June held him back.
"Theinant," June said, still holding onto Jay. "Who are they?"
"In the meantime, theinant wishes to stay anonymous. However, in the uing investigation, she had expressed her intention to show in court."
"She," June muttered. So, it was a woman? He ced his hand under his chin and thought hard. Had there been an instance where he identally touched a woman inappropriately? No matter how hard he thought about it-that wasn''t the case. He had never done such things. He had never even shown any interest in the opposite gender!
So, there was only one answer to all of this-Lei.
June shook his head and stood from his seat.
"I am aware now," he said. "I will earnestly attend all of the trials."
"June!" Jay eximed. "They''re spewing nonsense! You would never do such things."
"I know," June sighed, feeling a headacheing in. "But is there some way we can escape this?"
The police officers nced at each other.
"Unless you are ruled innocent or if theinant withdraws the case, then you are required to undergo investigation by thew, sir."
June pursed his lips and nodded, holding onto Jay''s wrist.
"Let''s go," he said.
Jay sighed and nodded, leading June out of the police station. However, much to their surprise, the ground was filled with reporters and spectators.
Jay and June frowned.
"What the heck," Jay muttered. "It had already been revealed to the public?"
June turned on his phone and went on Navel. As expected, his name was on the top of the trends list. However, he knew that it wasn''t for something positive this time around.
He plucked up the courage and clicked on the topic.
What bombarded him were photos-ones he had never seen before. It already had over fifty thousand likes despite being posted mere minutes ago.
June clicked on one photo and zoomed in, wondering where the photo had been taken.
Then, it hit him.
"The club," he muttered.
When he was tricked by Dan, he went to the club-where he met those people. He had been wary of the CCTV cameras. However, he didn''t think they would be able to do this.
Hyuck. Scar. Ali.
He couldn''t be mistaken.
It must be one of them.
"But why?" he whispered.
He clicked out of the photo and went through thements.
- Crap, I didn''t want to believe it. But June really went to the club.
- Him going to the club is the problem with you, guys? He''s being used of a grave crime!
- Who cares if he did it? I would not want to be vited by him.
-The world is really fucked.
- Goodness, I don''t know what to believe.
- Believe the victim. ALWAYS.
- Yes! I''m so devastated right now. I can''t believe I trusted him.
-What will I do with all his photocards right now?
- Guys, it hasn''t been confirmed. I don''t know why we''re basing his innocence on these photos.
- I heard he assaulted multiple people!
- Source: trust me, bro.
- Can we please act serious for once? Let''s wait for the official statements.
Jay grabbed June''s phone and ced it in his pocket.
"I was reading that," June said.
Jay sighed. "How can you act so nonchnt about this?"
June pursed his lips. This was definitely the biggest scandal he had in his entire career. "Because I didn''t do it," June sighed, running his fingers through his hair. "Do you believe
me?"
Jay pursed his lips and nodded. "I do," he said.
"However, you shouldn''t read these things," Jay continued. "I don''t know how you can even stomach reading it. People twist stories to their liking. It has always been that way."
June clicked his tongue.
"Anyway, I already called Marcus," Jay said. "He''s nearby, so he''s going to fetch us from the
back."
"How about thepany van?" June asked.
"I''ll have someone retrieve it tomorrow," Jay muttered. "Why are you even thinking about
that when thepany is probably the reason that you''re here?"
"They are the reason that I''m here," June confidently said. "However, the guys have a
schedule tomorrow. You don''t have any other van."
Jay clicked his tongue and punched June''s shoulder.
June looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"For one second, can you think about yourself? Not anyone else-but yourself."
June pursed his lips.
Just then, Jay''s phone rang.
"Nowe on," he sighed, his voice softer than before.
"Marcus is at the back."
