Chapter 702 Don't You Know That I'm A Savage?
June wasn't threatened.
Not in the slightest.
Mr. Ong was too cute to be intimidating. Moreover, after his trip to Gangwon, he decided that he should demand better terms from their company.
So, instead of rushing to go to the company, June took his time.
Minjun scratched the back of his head as June got out of the car.
"Are you sure this is okay?" the younger boy asked.
June nodded. "Don't worry about it," he said.
"Besides, I'm trending for all the right reasons right now."
Minjun smirked and shook his head. "Cocky," he said.
"Bye, little guy," June said, waving his hand. "Keep in touch and always stay safe."
Minjun held out an okay sign.
"Take care of yourself, too."
With that, June went inside the Azure building, the smile quickly fading from his face.
He saw people looking toward his way as he made his way to Mr. Ong's office. However, he didn't pay them any attention.
With that, June barged into Mr. Ong's office, causing the CEO to jump in shock.
Mr. Ong placed his hand over his chest and turned to June with a profound glare.
Meanwhile, June sat on the couch and waited for Mr. Ong to start speaking.
He knew that he wasn't being respected by the company, so he decided to give back the same energy. June realized that he had become so kind ever since he became an idol, and the main reason was because he cared a lot for the people surrounding him.
However, he realized that if he wanted to give his members better treatment and provide an easier time to their fans, then he needed to go back to his roots.
Mr. Ong clicked his tongue as June sipped on his bottle of water.
"Where have you been?" he calmly asked.
"I'm on a break," June said. "That means that I have the privilege to rest in my hometown."
"You performed at a festival," Mr. Ong exclaimed. "Free of charge, at that! Fortunately, the footage didn't reveal anything suspicious. Otherwise, we will be facing major losses."
"It's actually going viral for all the right reasons," June countered with a small smirk.
"It seems to me that you're just a little bit upset that I performed for free," he remarked.
Mr. Ong pursed his lips. "Azure cares about your well-being."
"If you truly cared about my well-being, then you would stop giving me so many schedules and give my other members opportunities to shine on their own," June deadpanned, finally revealing what had been on his mind since the moment their group started blowing up.
Mr. Ong frowned before chuckling loudly.
"Gladly," June said. "But I don't want to stunt my growth like you."
Mr. Ong's mouth went agape. Out of every topic in the entire world, his height was the most sensitive one.
He couldn't let anyone just speak on his height!
Taking advantage of Mr. Ong's shock, June continued to demand better terms.
"Reduce my brand deals, too. It wouldn't look too good if I endorsed everything. It lessens my credibility," he said.
"Instead, focus on brands that are actually great."
"Then, give it to my members first instead of me. I'm sure most of the brands would like them, too."
Mr. Ong couldn't even speak since he was still stuck on the height comment.
At that moment, he realized that June was far too brave.
"June," he said, cutting the idol short.
"I didn't ask you to come here to demand," he continued. "If you want to keep your position as an idol, then continue following what the company wants."
Even after the threatening comment, June's expression didn't change.
Instead, his smirk got even wider, feeling more confident.
"And what?" June asked. "You'll risk losing your cash cow?"
Mr. Ong froze.
"The reason why you're increasing the ticket prizes and giving me most of the brand deals is because of money, right?" June asked.
"You're aware of my value."
Mr. Ong couldn't respond since he knew that June was right.
As of the moment, June was their most prized possession—the one who brought most of their money in.
"I know you can't afford to lose me," June smiled.
"So, think about what I've said."
With that, June stood from the couch and walked to the exit.
Even then, Mr. Ong couldn't speak or move. Instead, his fists merely clenched, feeling frustration consume him.
"If you don't comply..."
"...then I might just do something to ruin the company's reputation even more."
As he said those final words, June gently closed the door and walked away from the office.
However, he didn't miss the frustrated scream that came from Mr. Ong.
He continued walking away with a wide smile.
"What a good day to be alive."
