From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show
chapter-859

June thought there would be a reason for the production crew giving him a pair of scissors.

He could only pick up a single food with it, and he couldn't necessarily use it as a plate, so June inferred that he had to use it to get another utensil.

He looked around the garden and saw a banana tree standing amidst the pretty flowers.

With that in mind, he grabbed his scissors and walked over to the banana tree. One cameraman followed him inconspicuously, wondering what he was going to do. Ramil PD also stopped conversing with his fellow producers to look at June.

June didn't think twice before climbing the banana tree and cutting half of one leaf.

They were all stunned as he nonchalantly entered the house and came out with the fully- washed leaf.

Then, he went to the selection of food and started picking out what he wanted to eat.

Truth be told, he had already eaten before going to the shoot, but he was not really informed that they needed to skip lunch.

However, after seeing the food, he wanted to eat with his members. He could just ask for a taste from them, but he reckoned that it would be unfair-especially since he did really badly in the game.

With that, he sat on his seat with a decently filled banana leaf before digging in with his own hands.

The others merely watched the oblivious June, who only snapped back to reality when Ramil PD burst into laughter.

"Oh goodness!" the producer exclaimed.

June stopped chewing and looked at the gleeful producer.

"I have never seen anything like this before," he continued, turning to his staff members, who also appeared amused.

The pair of scissors was originally designed to hold the noodles-especially the holes. However, June just gave it a whole new meaning.

His members also burst into laughter, with Jisung holding back his aggression,

"That's so cute!" he exclaimed.

June frowned. "What is?" he asked.

"The way you just cut the banana leaf," Jisung smiled. "I didn't think about it at all."

June shrugged and continued eating. "Well, it's not really possible to eat with a pair of scissors, so I bet that they gave me this thing for a reason," he smiled.

The camera captured his innocent smile, so the producers couldn't help but agree with him.

"Is this alright?" one of them asked Ramil PD.

"He looks so proud," Ramil responded. "I don't think we can get mad at him for being resourceful."

The others nodded, fondness also seen in their eyes.

With that, they continued with their meals. June quickly became the main character, and one person didn't like it one bit.

He looked around and saw that most of the cameras were pointing toward their table, so he kept his smile.

However, deep inside, he hated the way the staff members, along with Ramil PD, looked at June with such fondness.

He was the only one they gazed at like that during 'Everyday, Everynight.'

"I'm just going to wash my hands," June said after he was done eating, satisfied with his meal.

Akira was right when he said that the food was good.

Joonie watched as June made his way to the little house. The cameramen seemed to be busy eating, too, so Joonie stood from his seat.

"I need to go the restroom," he softly said in his signature kind voice.

Jaeyong lifted his head and nodded, still busy with his plate.

With that, Joonie went to the house. He looked around to see if there were any cameras around and sighed in relief when there weren't.

Then, he didn't go straight to the restroom. In fact, he didn't even need to go.

He just went straight to the kitchen sink, where he saw June washing his hands.

June's eyes narrowed when he felt someone's presence behind him.

"Do you need anything?" June asked, causing Joonie's eyes to widen in surprise.

'How did he know that I was here?' he thought.

June turned around and raised one eyebrow, silently coaxing Joonie to answer his question.

Joonie smiled, still acting kind despite the lack of cameras.

"Oh, I just wanted to wash my hands, too," he said.

June shrugged and stepped to the side to dry his hands.

"Go ahead," he said. "I'll be heading out first."

However, Joonie spoke once more.

"Wait," he said, causing June to halt.

June turned around and saw that Joonie was still washing his hands, but he could see his eyes staring right into him from the reflection of the glass on the cupboard.

"Yes?" June asked, crossing his arms in front of his chest. Truth be told, he was also curious about Joonie's personality.

"Is that all part of your act?" he asked in the same tone.

"What?" June asked.

Joonie turned around, still with wet hands, and smiled even wider.

"All of that?" he asked. "Acting oblivious and all? I guess it's good for your branding. It gives

you more screen time as well."

June looked at him to gauge if he was serious, and then he let out a small chuckle when he realized that Joonie was, indeed, serious.

"I see," June muttered, so he was the only one to be able to hear it.

"What do you think?" June asked, not wanting to directly answer his question.

Joonie smiled and took the towel from the rack.

"I don't want to make assumptions," he smiled. "So, I'll keep my mouth shut."

"I think you already made an assumption," June said, mirroring his smile.

Joonie's expression didn't deter. In contrast, he appeared even brighter.

"Ah, you got me," Joonie said. "Although, I was only able to recognize your act because I was

doing the same."

June's eyebrows raised in surprise.

So, Joonie was actually the one who wanted to prolong his screen time?

Well, that wasn't too surprising now. He did have a lot of screentime for 'Everyday,

Everynight,' so he must be an expert in it by now.

"Anyway," Joonie said, letting out a deep breath as he left the towel to dry on the rack.

"There's still plenty more games to play," he continued.

He walked towards the door but not without looking back at June.

"I'm just giving you a heads up-I'm not going to play dumb for the next rounds anymore."
