Forget About Him

"I'm sorry," Lena said through the phone. "Rain check. I can't come to the date as planned. I have an emergency." 

Lei sighed and massaged the bridge of his nose. Here he was, thinking he could finally blow off some steam after the stressful weak. 

"It's fine," Lei said through gritted teeth. "Just call me when you're free. It's also a little bit busy with EVE's upcoming comeback." 

"Yeah, sure," Lena said, sounding distressed before ending the call. 

With that, Lei called Dan on his phone. He answered right away. 

"Call Jay. We're going to have a meeting," he said. 

Dan, who was in EVE's practice room, nodded enthusiastically. He walked to where Jay was and nudged his shoulder. 

"Sir Lei wants to talk with us." 

Jay pursed his lips. "The boys are still practicing," he said, sounding exhausted. It has only been three days since June had left EVE, and he has significantly aged.
