Chapter 884: The One I Have Left

"We need some firewood, though," Mimi said as Jisung and Casper arrived with a large pot. "I'll get them," June said, standing from his seat.

Haruki looked around before standing quickly, almost as if someone electrocuted his butt. "I'll come with you," he said.

June nodded. "We'll be back soon."

The others nodded in acceptance, despite some of them wanting to join June.

"Can I come?" Jisung asked, trying out his luck, but June shook his head.

"We won't be long," June responded.

"Take this camera with you," Pablo said, placing one of the small cameras around June's neck. "The staff would want most of this to be documented."

June merely nodded.

With that, Haruki and June made their way down the hill. Fortunately, they didn't have to walk long. They saw a forest-like area a few meters away, and it seemed like some of its

branches were dry and perfect for starting a fire.

"Let's go there," June said, pointing to the area.

Haruki nodded and followed after him. With that, they silently gathered the firewood.

-The two rivals are together again.

- No one really established if they're close now.

- I don't think so. Haruki is still quite aloof with others.

-But weren't they spotted together before?

- No one's sure of that.

Haruki glanced at June from time to time, appearing as if he wanted to say something.

June sighed and stopped picking the firewood. "Just say what you want to say."

Haruki clicked his tongue and looked away from June. "How'd you know?"

June shook his head. "It's obvious."

Haruki pursed his lips as he also stopped picking up the firewood.

"I just wanted to apologize, I guess," he said.

June's eyebrows raised in surprise.

"For what?" he asked.

"You already know," Haruki said. "It's not that big of a deal. Don't think too much about it. Just know that I don't hate you."

June shook his head. "I already knew that since the beginning."

Haruki's eyebrows raised in surprise.

- Aww, these two are actually pretty sweet.

- I swear, this feels more like a dating show than a survival show.

- Yeah, this feels like a mixed-gender version of a bachelor show.

- And June is the main character.

The members of EVE shook their heads in amusement as they watched the show.

"It's only halfway in, but June already has so much screentime," Jaeyong said.

"Well, that's the reason why he ended up as our center," Zeth said. "And it isn't because of bias. He's just a very entertaining person overall."

Minjun, who was watching the show with his maids and butlers, smiled proudly as the scene continued to play.

"That's my big brother," he boasted to the older workers.

"June is really cool," one of the maids said. "Now, I know why my daughter likes him so much."

"Yeah," their driver said. "He appears nonchalant, but he's actually quite caring."

Just then, Lena came back after a long day of work. Minjun and the others were way too immersed in the show, and they didn't even notice.

Lena paused as she arrived at the living room, her eyes narrowing in suspicion when she heard June's voice through the screen.

"I know that you've been through a lot," he said to Haruki. "You also have a personality that's only yours. Our personalities don't match, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends."

"We can still understand each other. That's the beauty of it all," he said.

Lena frowned. Here he was again with his inspiring yapping!

She clicked her tongue and walked to the table, grabbing the remote and turning it off,

causing the crowd of watchers to exclaim in disappointment.

"I ought to beat up—," Minjun started off but pursed his lips when he saw it was his mother.

Lena raised one eyebrow. "You ought to what now, young mister?"

Minjun pursed his lips and shook his head. "Nothing, Mom," she chuckled. "I was just surprised, that's all."

Lena sighed and shook her head. "What did I tell you about June? I told you not to associate yourself with him anymore, right? You only ever got into trouble because of him."

Minjun sighed. "But, he's really kind and he cares about me a lot," he said, looking at the others for support.

The workers diligently nodded.

"Yes, ma'am," their chef said. "I can tell that he's a good kid from the show. I guess the

dangers in his career just can't be escaped."

"See!" Minjun exclaimed. "Even they agree."

"They don't know what June is capable of," Lena said. "You, too, do not know him. Don't get too attached to him. Otherwise, I'd really push for your homeschooling."

Minjun was about to argue but quickly pursed his lips when he realized he would never win against his mother. With that, he just settled for glaring at her.

Lena sighed and went over to where he was, placing a hand over his shoulder.

"Like I said, I'm doing this for your own good. I don't want you to get hurt. After mom died, you're the only one I have left," she softly said before kissing him on the temple.

Minjun's expression softened for a moment, but he still didn't budge.

"I'm going back to my room," she said. "I had a long day."

Then, she went to her room, gently closing the door.

Meanwhile, Minjun let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding.

"You always have a long day. You say you only have me, but what about me?"

"Who do I have now when you're not even here?" he muttered.

The workers turned to each other, pity seen in their eyes. However, they also knew they

couldn't do anything about it.

"June is the person who cares the most," he whispered, only being able to hear himself.

On the other hand, after Lena changed into her pajamas, she slumped in her bed and turned on

the television.

She would usually watch a true crime show to put her to sleep, one that had gruesome

murders. The more graphic, the better.

However, for some reason, she itched to watch something else that night.

Before she even knew it, she had clicked a particular channel where a familiar handsome boy

was shown.

"Gosh," she muttered.

"Why am I doing this?"
