Chapter 696: Home

June froze as soon as Lina said those words.

He even felt his heart stop as he looked into her hopeless eyes. He hadn't seen her like that before.

Not even when she got scammed by a K-Pop album seller.

Not even when their parents died.

Although, she was a bit too young to comprehend what was truly happening back then.

June could guess that she was also devastated when he died, but he didn't live long enough to see it.

"I know that I'm less skilled than everybody else," she sighed.

"I also said that I want to prove myself to all of you and show my improved skills," she continued, still looking down at her lap.

"But why is it so hard?" she asked.
