From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show
chapter-936

"So, you ran away?" June asked after Minjun finished his story.

Minjun shrugged. "I guess that's one way to put it," he said.

June shook his head and massaged his temples. "You're really making Lena hate me more, huh?"

Minjun clicked his tongue, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"Don't mention that name," he said.

June's eyebrows raised in surprise. "What happened? You were fine a while back."

Minjun shook his head. "I don't want to talk about it. Anyway, where are those cookies and milk Haruto told me about? Why is it taking so long?"

Haruto's eyes widened, and he quickly instructed Marcus to give the young man his cookies.

Marcus pursed his lips and shuffled to where Minjun was, taking very cautious steps.

Minjun frowned as Marcus placed the plate and cup in front of him before running away. "What's wrong with him?" he asked Haruto.

"Apologies," Haruto bowed. "He's afraid of children."

Minjun frowned. "I'm not even a child," he muttered. However, he didn't pay much attention to him anymore as he devoured the cookies.

"Well," June said. "How are you planning on going back?"

Minjun sighed and shook his head. "Didn't you hear my story? I'm not going back."

June clicked his tongue. "So, what? You're planning on staying here?"

"Yup," Minjun said, causing Marcus to squeak from afar. Haruto sighed and patted his back. "Calm down, big man."

"Well, I was hesitant at first. My mom will probably find me, but this place is really nice! You even have a security guy in your home," he said, pointing to Marcus. "So, yeah. I'll be staying here."

"That's fine!" Haruto exclaimed. "June needs company while he's here."

"Sweet," Minjun said, happily dipping the cookies into the milk.

However, June wasn't convinced. "Minjun," he said in a reprimanding tone. "Go home right now."

Minjun stopped eating, his eyebrows furrowing. "I don't want to," he stubbornly said.

"My mom isn't listening to me. She hasn't listened to me for a while now, so it wouldn't make much of a difference when I'm at home," he muttered.

June pursed his lips before sighing in defeat. How could he say no when Minjun looked so lonely?

"Fine," he said. "Just as long as you're okay with it."

"Yay!" Minjun exclaimed. "Now, I can help you with your trial."

June shook his head in amusement before grabbing a cookie from his plate and taking a bite.

"By the way, your name is trending," Minjun informed.

June tilted his head to the side. "What?" he asked. "Why? Is there any new information on the allegations about me?"

"Nope," Minjun said. "You're just trending."

June frowned and opened his Navel app.

Minjun's eyebrows raised in surprise. "You finally got your account back?"

"Nope," June said. "I made one."

"O-ho," he smirked. "You've come a long way. You can do that by yourself now, huh? Tell me your username so I can follow you."

"Yeah, it's SkEVEidiJune," he responded as he logged into his account. Minjun paused as soon as he said those words. "What...did you just say?" "SkEVEidiJune," he repeated. "Do you want me to spell it out for you?"

Minjun felt himself losing patience. "Do you even know what that means?"

"Yup," June answered. "SK is South Korea. EVE is EVE because I'm in that group, and idi is a cute name. It means 'celebration' or 'gift.' Isn't it good?"

Minjun pursed his lips and merely nodded. "Yeah," he muttered. "I guess that's good. At least your fans wouldn't find your account because it sounds like a fucking joke."

Marcus covered his mouth as Minjun cursed. Meanwhile, June shook his head.

"Whatever," he muttered before going to the trends list.

Lo and behold, Minjun was telling the truth. The first trend was 'Ideal Office Guy," and on the second spot was his name.

- I love this guy.

- Someone get his name, please. I can't do this. I fell in love with a stranger once more.

-Who is this man? Please conduct your investigations and find him.

-I'm an office worker in Seoul Square. I've literally never seen this person in my entire life. He's too good to be true.

- He sounds like June.

- He really does.

And that was when June realized why his name was trending. His smile widened as he

continued reading the posts.

- Are we all going through mass hysteria now?

- I think we all miss June.

- I was devastated by the news, and I do want to believe the victim first, but the proof in the media isn't really convincing. It's just him in the club. I think it's time we stop babying these idols and let them

live a normal life like us.

- Seriously, though, it's amazing how his name is even trending when he hasn't updated us for a

while now.

- He did! He had a live stream.

- But his account is gone now. I really miss June. I hope we can see that he's okay.

June continued smiling down at his phone, causing Minjun to shake his head in disbelief.

"You look like you're talking to your lover."

June lifted his head, still with a smile. "Oh, it's just that my fans are so cute."

Minjun looked at him with a disgusted expression. "Dang," he muttered. "You really became

an idol."

"I am an idol," June said, going back to reading the comments.

"It wasn't like this in the beginning," Minjun said, shaking his head. "It's like you were operating on a system back then, both wanting and not wanting to become an idol."

June ignored his statement and suddenly took a photo.

Minjun frowned. "Now, what was that?"

"They said they want to see me," he smiled. "So, I'm going to comment on this photo in the

most popular post."

Minjun froze before shaking his head. "No, you're going to regret that."

"Done," June smiled, showing Minjun the photo he posted.

Minjun looked at it with a blank expression.

"Oh," he muttered. "I see that you haven't improved in this aspect."

"How could you be so hot in your photoshoots but look like this in your selfies?" he asked.

June smiled. "What do you mean?"

"Look at the comments," Minjun said.

June frowned and read through the replies to the photo he posted.

- Fuck off. You're ruining the mood.

- We asked for a photo of June. You look like a December.

- Isn't this the guy who tried to impersonate June?

- That ended up being June.

- What if this is June?

- June's not like this.

- SkEVEidi?

- Nah, this account is made by an old man, for sure.
