June raised his eyebrows in surprise while Lin Zhi frowned.
"You mean my part?" he asked in an incredulous tone. It didn't take a genius to see that Lin Zhi didn't want another person to sing his part.
However, Mentor Jihyun remained insistent. "Yes," she said. "I don't have to repeat myself."
She manipulated the music player to start just before the bridge. "June, sing the bridge," she said, her gaze locked onto his.
Although June was still confused, he took a deep breath and began singing the bridge. Although he didn't want to sound too emotional, this song triggered something within him—something he couldn't explain.
"Oh, the regrets that haunt my soul,
The pain of letting you go...
I asked for space, and you truly pushed me away,
I love you, leave, and now I'm alone in the price I pay."
His voice filled the space, carrying the weight of the song's message that sent shivers down everyone's spine.
