From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 781 Everybody Likes The New Guy

"It's him," June said, pacing back and forth in his room. "There's no other explanation," he whispered. "He sounds like him. Although he doesn't speak like him. Lei uses much kinder words," he continued. "But then again, we had always been in the gang setting when we spoke, so maybe he does speak like that in real life?" "Oh, who am I kidding? They have the exact same tattoo!" he exclaimed. "Unless someone else has the same tattoo," he muttered. "But, when did he learn Korean? As far as I know, he only speaks Chinese." "But, I don't know him that well to even tell." "Goodness," June muttered. "Why did he become their manager? And what? He used to work at Phoenix? It all just checks out!" "It's Laohu. I'm certain." "But what is he doing? Is he really here to get the briefcase?" "Well, it's a good thing that it's buried in cement." June paced back and forth, his mind a mess. After a while, he finally calmed down and looked up at the ceiling. "Who are you, Lei?" he asked. Just then, he felt someone else's presence in the room, causing him to jump in shock. "Ah!" June exclaimed when he saw Akira with a teasing smile. Then, he froze when he saw the mischievous look in his eyes. "How much did you hear?" June asked right away. "Don't worry," Akira smiled. "Not a lot. Just up until the point when you were very curious about Lei." June closed his eyes and was about to tell Akira not to make such a big fuss about it. However, Akira, being Akira, was already wandering around their dorm and screaming his head off. "June is a tsundere!" "He's very curious about Lei!" "He likes him!" "He has a muscle fetish like Jay!" June facepalmed before massaging the bridge of his nose. "If I could just strangle him," he said while doing the action. Then, he heard Casper's complaint from outside of his bedroom. "If he has a muscle fetish, then why isn't he fetishizing me?" June groaned and went out of his room. There, he saw his members, along with Jay, looking at him with varied expressions—most of them amused. "I do not have a muscle fetish!" June exclaimed. "Uh-huh," Jay said. "That's what I said in the beginning too." "Ay-yo?" Sehun asked. "You're admitting to it?" Jay cleared his throat and focused his attention on his phone. "But really," Akira said, walking over to June and throwing one arm around his shoulder. "You don't have to feel shy about liking Lei! I'm sure you're feeling skeptical about him because of what happened with Chul, but I feel that he's different," Akira said. "Trust me! I have a good judgment of character," he smiled. June gave him a dead look. "You thought I was the son of conglomerates and didn't talk to me for a good week because of it. You're not a good judge of character," he deadpanned, bringing up the past. Akira pursed his lips, not being able to argue with him. Jisung chuckled in amusement, also remembering those times. "Well, I believed you then," Jisung said. "And I think Lei is a good person—at least, based on what I have seen from one interaction." "I'm a good judge of character, right?" he asked with wide eyes. Casper nodded in agreement. "I only trust good people, too. I think you're just way too skeptical about Lei's identity." With his friends' statements, June wondered if he was really being dramatic. "Am I, really?" he muttered. "Yes," Jay said. "You're reading too much into it." "See!" he exclaimed, showing his phone to the boys. It was a selfie of Lei with the members of LUNAIRE, and it seemed like he bought them individual cakes. "He even bought them cakes and is helping them move tomorrow. If that doesn't scream 'good person,' then I don't know anymore." June was slowly losing his mind. In the photo, the tattoo on his left arm peaked a bit, making him feel breathless. "I really hope my gut feeling is wrong," he said. "Now, stop being such a worrywart, and let's watch this variety show!" Jay exclaimed. June sighed and sat along with them. "Ooh! Is that the new one from PD Ramil?" Jisung asked. "Yup," Jay said. "It's a fun variety show where big stars are thrown into the province! This is the very first season with a star-studded cast. They tried to recruit June, but he's fully-booked." "Aww, that's a bummer," Jisung said. "Maybe on the next season." "Yeah, they said that they will come with new casts every month!" ***

LUNAIRE was finally going to move into the dorms. Aside from Mei, they weren't aware of what it looked like just yet, but they were expecting a lot—since Azure was a pretty big company. So, when they arrived at a tacky-looking building, they couldn't help but feel disappointed. "Well, it's still better than my old company," Yeri said. "This will do." "It's good," Mei said. "It looks very expensive." The others turned to Mei with pitiful expressions. Then, Ara patted her shoulder. "Did you have a hard life?" she asked pitifully. Mei shook her head. "Let's just go in," he said. However, before they could take a step forward, somebody called for them. "Girls!"

Lei, who came out from a luxurious car, jogged to them, and the young women couldn't help but smile. He was wearing casual clothes, making him look more approachable. "I told you to call when you got here, right?" he asked with a worried smile. "I wanted to help you guys move," he said. Then, he grabbed their luggage without any effort, looking like a local version of Superman. Jeemin had a sharp intake of breath. "I'll go ahead," he said. "The elevator is small, so just follow after me, alright?" "Thanks, Sir," Mei said. Manager Lei meaningfully smiled. "I told you that I want to have a comfortable relationship," he said. "Just call me Lei," he said. "Just like how the other members of EVE call their manager by his name." frёeωebɳovel.com

"Alright," Mei casually said. "Besides, it wouldn't be too hard to memorize it because our names sound alike," the Manager winked. Mei shook her head in amusement. Meanwhile, the other girls couldn't help but hold their breaths. "Holy crap! He's really charming!"
