Bab 540: What Happened That Night

Flashback—Year 2022, Shanghai, China

"I can't believe you're not telling me where it is," Haruto exclaimed, holding onto Joon-ho's shoulders and violently shaking his body.

They were inside an abandoned warehouse, their voices filling the empty space.

Meanwhile, the weak-bodied trainee resigned to his friends' hysteria. He looked into Haruto's eyes and found the light inside him dimming. 

Joon-ho knew he had to do this if he wanted some of the light in Haruto's eyes to be retained. 

"I hid it," Joon-ho said. "To a place where you can't find it." 

Tears welled up in Haruto's eyes, and he kneeled on the floor as he felt his knees buckle. 

"Why are you doing this? This was supposed to be our key to debuting! The CEO promised that we'll finally get to debut once I find the briefcase and bring it to him!" he screamed.
