June couldn't move in his spot.
He knew that a lot of people were already speculating about his relationship with Mei since they had close and natural interactions.
So, once Laohu released something as suspicious as what happened a while ago, then people were bound to believe it.
"I'm sorry. I should have—"
"You shouldn't be sorry!" Jay exclaimed, standing and suddenly wrapping one arm around June.
He gave him a squeeze, making June confused.
"I shouldn't?" June asked.
"Yeah," Jay said. "This is something that shouldn't be hidden! Why are you so ashamed?"
"Just because," June said. "I just can't—"
"Oh, you must find it embarrassing!" Akira chimed, making June even more confused.
"Embarrassed?"
"I, too, would be quite embarrassed if something like this was revealed about me," Akira smiled.
Ren scoffed. "Don't lie. You'd be the one asking sites to post the news."
