From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 177 No Love Affair!

With Xin's departure, June continued to make his way to where the mentors were. He weaved through the guards expertly, and he even saw the bucktooth guard trying to remove some stuck spinach in his teeth as June literally just walked past him.

Rising Stars truly needed to get better security.

Without much effort, June made his way in front of a door with huge signage that said—Jihyun.

Jihyun, who was currently having her make-up taken off, gossiped with her make-up artist while scrolling through Navel. She scrolled through June's topic and felt pained every time she saw a new hate comment pop up.

"This kid never catches a break," Jihyun said. "Can you believe he's been the center of controversies for two weeks in a row?"

Yoonjin, the young make-up artist, glanced over her shoulder and shook her head. "I also read the article. I think it's true that June has a sponsor. I mean, his parents are literally Choi Si-woo and Choi Min-ah."

"June looks nothing like these two, though," Jihyun said, zooming in on the rich couple's faces. Jihyun didn't want to be rude, but they looked…like someone from the animal kingdom?

Let's just say that god is fair. He gave the Chois a shit ton of money, but their looks are…questionable.

"You're right," Yoonjin said. "But I can't think of any other explanation as to how June would be able to enter Pierre and afford those MJ shoes and a Colexx. Even rich trainees can't get on his level."

"I really don't get that vibe from June," Jihyun continued to defend him. "I've been observing him for quite some time, and he hasn't worn any designer clothes up until those photos. His clothes are always tacky, too."

"Now that you've mentioned it," Yoonjin said. "He really does dress very simply. He always wears the same black hoodie, too."

"See?" Jihyun exclaimed. "It doesn't make sense that he's a rich guy."

"Well, rich dudes always seem to dress down. I've never seen a billionaire who dresses well before. Just look at Egon Crust and Markus Zapperburger!"

Jihyun clicked her tongue. "Whatever. I still believe that there's something else going on."

As the two of them continued to converse, the door suddenly opened.

"Gosh, can't people knock?" Jihyun asked, her eyes still focused on her phone. "What is it?"

The door closed behind her, but the person still didn't answer. So, she sighed in frustration and lifted her head, seeing the person through the mirror.

Jihyun screamed in shock when she saw the person they were talking about just standing behind her.

Her scream also surprised Yoonjin as he ripped her lashes off quite harshly, causing some of her real lashes to fall off.

"Jihyun!" Yoonjin exclaimed. However, the older artist didn't care about that at all. She stood up and turned around, only to be faced with June.

"June?" Jihyun asked.

Yoonjin, too, turned around and gasped in shock when she saw the handsome trainee. This was the very first time she had seen him up close, and she could say that the cameras weren't doing him any justice.

"What are you doing here?" Jihyun asked. If it was any other trainee, she would have called security right away. However, Jihyun could never do that to June.

"Can I speak with you for a moment, Mentor?" he asked.

Jihyun glanced at Yoonjin, who still had a starstruck look on her face, and quickly gathered all her items.

"You should go home now," Jihyun said.

Yoonjin finally snapped out of her daze and looked at Jihyun, confused. "Hmm, what? All your make-up still hasn't been taken off."

"I insist," Jihyun said, wanting to spend time with June all alone. "See you on the next filming day."

With that, Jihyun practically shoved the young make-up artist outside of the room.

Then, she proceeded to lock the door while staring at June's back.

Jihyun felt her heart beating fast in her chest. She felt like a teenage girl who was in the midst of her favorite idol in the 2000s!

"You may sit down," Jihyun said, her voice shaking a little bit.

She pinched the inside of her arm to get her act together. She shouldn't be acting this way! Between the two of them, she was the bigger star!

Jihyun then cleared her throat. "Is there something you need from me?"

"There is," June said without any hesitation, looking into her eyes.

Jihyun gulped as she locked eyes with the fine, young man. She had never felt this way ever since she met her husband for the first time!

"This is something that only you can help me with," he said, his voice piercing through her soul.

Jihyun felt her heart beat even faster in her chest (if that was even possible). She might end up in SupraVentricular Tachycardia at this point.

Jihyun's mind raced with a thousand thoughts, and none of them seemed innocent.

'I have a husband! But maybe I can make an exception for this young man?'

'No! He's way too young for me. Although, he is already in his 20s.'

'That's ridiculous! How can I even think about having an affair with him? His career hasn't even started yet!'

"So, can you help me?" June asked, causing Jihyun to jolt in surprise.

"Yes. U–uh, I'll be your sugar—I mean, yes, I'll help you with what you need," she said, although she was already cursing inside her mind since she honestly didn't hear what June had said just now.

June weirdly looked at the vocal mentor but brushed it off.

June then stood up from his seat, causing Jihyun to become even more confused.

"Let's go then, Mentor," June said, walking to the door.

'Oh gosh. Where are we going? Don't tell me—are my assumptions right?"

Those thoughts raced inside Jihyun's mind once more.

"Umm, where are we going again?" Jihyun warily asked.

"I just told you," June deadpanned.

"Oh, you know me," Jihyun nervously chuckled. "I'm in my late 30s. I'm forgetting a lot of things lately."

June pursed his lips. "To the headquarters," he clarified.

"You're going to help me get inside Azure's headquarters."

"WHAT?"
