June felt his heart skip a beat, and it seemed like the others were also taken aback by C-Jay's statement.
Murder? Is June a part of something that's way deeper than he had imagined?
Then, like a fucking joke, C-Jay laughed out loud, causing a collective sigh to break out in the room.
"Hey," Jangmoon said. "That's not a good joke."
C-Jay continued laughing but eventually raised his hands in surrender.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't know if that's real," he said. "But it's not plain baseless. It's an ongoing rumor in Phoenix. It hasn't been confirmed, though."
"Give us the context at least," Jangmoon retorted.
"Geez, fine," C-Jay said. "Let's start from the beginning. Apparently, there were four ancient trainees in Phoenix—those that have been training for the next big boy group in the company."
"They were set to debut in CHAOS, but somehow, none of them managed to get through," he said.
