785 I'm Not A Good Person
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." June scratched the back of his head. Well, Akira did want to date someone, but he wouldn't go as far as revealing it to the public, right? "You really have such a loving heart," Jay complimented. "Love?" June muttered. "It's really not like that." "Aww," Jisung said. "Bro is still feeling shy. You really don't have to! It's actually pretty admirable. You gave such a big amount, though." June felt whiplashed. "A big amount?" he repeated. "Is this not a big amount to you? You donated 10,000 USD to an independent charity for homeless children," Sehun said. "Dang, you must have more money than I thought," Akira remarked. June pursed his lips and snatched Jay's phone away from his hand. There, he saw an article posted by an official news account.
'June's Anonymous Donation to Little Sunflowers' In the heart of Seoul, nestled quietly away from the city's frantic pace, lies Little Sunflowers, a sanctuary for homeless children. Owned and operated by a family who has been providing shelter and care for generations, Little Sunflowers is more than just a home.
Recently, they have received a generous donation from an unexpected visitor. On a seemingly ordinary day, June, a member of the popular idol group EVE, walked through the doors of Little Sunflowers. He was dressed inconspicuously, his face partially hidden behind a mask. Despite his efforts to remain anonymous, his presence couldn't be disguised.
"He came in, and although he was wearing a mask, he felt different," said Mrs. Kim, the matriarch of the family that runs Little Sunflowers. "There was a quiet sincerity about him that immediately stood out."June's intention was to make a 10,000 USD donation anonymously. He expressed a heartfelt desire to give without seeking recognition. However, Mrs. Kim's daughter, a keen observer and a fan of EVE, quickly identified him.
"When she recognized him, she was so excited and wanted a photo instead," Mrs. Kim recalled with a smile. "He had hoped to remain in the background, but his generosity and kindness were something we felt needed to be acknowledged."
"We are deeply grateful for his support," Mrs. Kim said. "In a world where public figures often seek the spotlight, June's humble approach was truly inspiring. His actions have made a real difference in the lives of these children, and for that, he deserves recognition."
"That's the article you were talking about, right?" Jay asked, nudging his shoulder. June sighed and massaged his nose bridge. He really thought that a dating rumor would come around once again. However, it was an article about the generous donation he made before he expected to die. "Such a kind young man!" Akira teased. "Eyy, you don't even want to be found out by the public?" Zeth asked. "You're a good person, pal." Sehun patted his back. "Good job, June. You're really an inspiration to others." June shook his head, feeling guilty. He had to admit that he only made the donation because he thought he was going to die a tragic death. "Don't praise me," June said, feeling even guiltier as he read the comments of the public, calling him an angel. - June is such a sweetheart! He really deserves all the good things in the world. - I am a fan of the right person. - How can someone be so perfect? - How many more anonymous donations has he made?
June pursed his lips. He had only donated for a good cause twice. And both times, he was just compelled to do so. The first time he donated to a local charity home was because it was part of Fu's missions. "Now, now," Jay said. "I can't keep this on the down low like you have requested.
This shall be spread all throughout social media! Through this, I will show Mr. Ong that you guys are kind to those who deserve it." The other members nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, June continued scrolling through his phone. The article had recorded over 200,000 views in just a span of a few minutes, and June's guilt continued to pile up. Just then, he received a text from an anonymous number. Unknown: That was such a commendable act. You are truly admirable. June frowned in confusion. June: Who are you?
Unknown: Oh, this is Lei. Jay gave me your number, and I was really moved by the article, so I decided to contact you. June clicked his tongue and turned to Jay. "Why did you give my number to Lei?" he deadpanned. "I gave all your guys' numbers," he smiled. "You're not special, son." June shook his head and looked at his text once more. It was a different number. He knew that he had Loahu's number saved, and it wasn't that particular one. However, June also knew that Laohu wasn't dumb enough to use the same number. He knew that June knew him. However, June just didn't know what he looked like. So, with that, June's confusion grew even more. "Who the hell are you?" he muttered. "Aww, so many brands have contacted us once more after the article came out," Jay said, snapping him out of his thoughts. "You really are such a good person, June." June groaned in embarrassment. "I'm not!"
