From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show
chapter-847

It had been a while since June had spoken to Minjun, so he was more excited than usual.

As soon as he arrived in the hallway, he pressed on the 'answer' button and placed the phone before his ear.

"Minjun," he greeted. "What's up?"

"Big Bro!" Minjun exclaimed.

June frowned as soon as he heard his voice. "Are you taking testosterone pills or something? Why is your voice getting deep?"

Minjun clicked his tongue. "It's called puberty, idiot," he deadpanned.

June pursed his lips. In the back of his mind, he already knew that. However, he still couldn't erase the image of the small kid that he had first met.

"How can a 7th grader go into puberty that early, though?" June muttered.

"I'm already in 8th grade," Minjun sighed. "Why are we even talking about this?"

June chuckled and shook his head. "Well, why did you call?"

"Nothing much," Minjun said. "It's just been a while since we've last spoken. You also haven't been involved in a scandal for a while now, so I'm wondering if things are going alright."

June clicked his tongue. "Are you praying on my downfall?"

Minjun chuckled. "Well, no. With your luck, I was just assuming that you would have another scandal or two. Actually, the airport outfit one was a bit close, but then you started a trend. I see kids my age rocking your outfit everywhere I go now."

"Isn't that great?" June asked. "You can see me even when I'm not there."

Minjun sighed. "Well, if my mom wasn't such a worrywart, then I would invite you to our new house. It's very big, actually. It's in the middle of the forest and appears straight out of that movie with a sparkling vampire."

"I'm not sure what you're talking about," June deadpanned.

"Of course," Minjun said. "What did I expect from you? Well, anyway, it's really big. My mom's not home all the time, too, so it gets pretty lonely. However, she has eyes everywhere, so I can't invite you."

June frowned. "How are you able to call me right now then?"

"My mom isn't home," he cheerily said. "And I'm hiding in the washing machine while playing hide-and-seek with our workers. I've been here for 15 minutes and got bored. I reckoned that I would be here for a while, so I decided to call you."

"Anyway, when are you guys coming back? My classmates are all dying for new music from you."

June smiled. "Soon," he answered. "Tell them that they don't need to wait for long."

"Is it really soon?" Minjun asked. "I know you have a new CEO since your last CEO is crap. Is he treating you better?"

"Hmm," June hummed. "It's too early to tell."

"That doesn't sound like a good thing," Minjun said. "You know, do you want me to ask my mom to help you, guys? I'm sure she can pull some strings."

June chuckled in amusement.

Lena definitely wouldn't like that.

"I don't want your mom to hate me even more," June said.

"That's fair," Minjun muttered. "Well, let's move onto another topic then."

"Did you know? Our monster landlady selling all her land in our old apartment! It turns out

that all the vacant lots surrounding it were also hers! I can't believe she's that rich," Minjun exclaimed.

June froze in his spot and frowned.

"H-how do you know that?" June stammered.

For all he knew, it was an exclusive sale-which meant that not a lot of people knew about the land being for sale.

June knew that Minjun's intel was crazy, but he didn't think it would be to this extent.

"My mom told me," Minjun said.

June's frown deepened.

"Grandma and I have been staying in that apartment for so long, so it just made sense for her to tell my mom," he continued.

June's frown eased, and he nodded in understanding.

"I see," he muttered.

"Well, that's all the news I have for today. I hear our canines barking already. I think they're

going to sniff me out now. I best be going before they call my mom," Minjun said.

June shook his head, still amazed with how ridiculously rich the kid was.

"Stay safe," June said. "We'll meet soon."

"Yup!" Minjun exclaimed. "See you soon."

With that, Minjun ended the call, leaving June with a smile on his face. Talking to the little kid

was stressful at times, but June always felt happy with every conversation.

He placed his phone back into his pocket when he heard someone calling his name.

"June."

June stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around, already aware of who was calling his

name.

He neutralized his facial expression and faced the person.

"Sir Lei," he said, bowing his head in respect.

Lei chuckled with his signature warm smile. "I knew I saw you a while ago. What are you

doing here?"

"Just trying to make some music with the boys," June vaguely answered.

Lei's eyebrows raised in surprise. "Oh, you guys are already planning something?"

June nodded. "It's for the next comeback."

Lei pursed his lips. "I see," he muttered.

They were stuck in silence for a few seconds until June spoke once more.

"Do you have anything you want to talk about?" he asked.

Lei lifted his head and met eyes with June for a second.

"Right," he muttered. "I just want to talk about...last night."

June clicked his tongue. "About how Dan took me to the club?"

"Well, he got drunk pretty quickly, and I was uncomfortable staying there, so I left on my own," June nonchalantly said while looking down at his nails, appearing unbothered.

"Don't worry," he added. "I didn't get caught by anyone. I also didn't create any trouble." Lei felt his temper increasing, but he continued smiling despite it all.

"That's...good," he squeezed out.

"Well, you should have gone there yesterday," June smiled. "Dan was all over the place.

Maybe you should look into hiring more competent workers."

Lei chuckled to hide his anger. "I'll make sure to do just that."

"Bye for now, then," June smiled. "I still have a lot to discuss with my members."

With that, he turned around and was about to head inside their practice room.

However, Lei's next statement made him freeze in his tracks.

"You already know, don't you?"
