From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show



Minjun woke up with a wide smile. It was the weekend, and he had spent the entire night playing his favorite video game. Not only that, but he was able to win one of the rare skins for his favorite character.

It was one that couldn't be bought with money, so he had wanted it more than anything. Money has never been an issue for him, so if it had a price tag, then he could just buy it!

His grandma in heaven must be scolding him now, but what could he do? He lacked the love of his parents at a young age, and they were making it up by providing for him financially. Of course, he was going to exploit it!

He walked out of his room and stretched his arms.

He saw the digital clock on the wall and saw that it was already past noon. Just then, Minjun heard his stomach growl. He smiled and patted his stomach.

"Should we feed these monsters?" he asked, directing his footsteps to the pantry. He was ready to devour all of the snacks that their personal chef had prepared.

However, as he arrived at the pantry, he saw someone dressed prettily, appearing anxious as she drank water. She was extra careful since she didn't want to smudge her lipstick.

Minjun's eyes nearly budged out of his head.

Lena glanced at her son and shook her head. "You just woke up? I know you don't have school, but it's not good for your health to stay up so late and wake up at this time during weekends." "Says the workaholic," Minjun said. "You should take the advice for yourself."

Lena shook her head and continued drinking water.

"I'm surprised that you're still here, by the way. You're usually out for work. Do you have an important meeting or something? You're dressed way too prettily for it."

"I look pretty?" Lena asked, tilting her head to the side.

Minjun pursed his lips. "I mean I did get my looks from you."

Lena chuckled and walked toward him before ruffling his hair.

"Thanks, brat," she said. "I'm not going to a meeting, by the way. I decided to take the day off."

Minjun was once again shocked. "You?" he exclaimed. "A day off? Since when?"

Lena clicked her tongue. Well, she was never the type to take a day off. However, watching 'Everyday, Everynight,' she felt like she also wanted to take a day off. She had been watching since the first episode, and now that they were on their 6th day, she felt really inspired.

"If you're not going to a meeting, then where are you going?" Minjun asked.

"Do you remember Mr. Kwan Kim?" she asked.

Minjun instantly frowned. "That nerdy guy next door? Why?"

"He's not a nerdy guy," Lena said. "He's just passionate about cryptocurrency."

"What about him?" Minjun asked. "You really went after a nerdy guy? You could just go back with Dad, or better yet, you could go after my big bro! He's way more handsome than that guy!"

"But wait, you would get death threats left and right," he muttered. "That would be pretty fun, though. But then, June's career would also be ruined."

"So, no, my big bro is off-limits."

"Minjun," Lena said, massaging the bridge of her nose. "I told you to stop mentioning his name."

Minjun clicked his tongue. "Anyway, aren't the two of you pretty close? You've also invested in him, right?"

"Yes," Lena said. "Well, I was supposed to talk about our investment yesterday, but he had another visitor."

Minjun's eyes narrowed. "I don't like where this is going."

"His visitor was pretty handsome," she smiled, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "We talked a little bit, and it seems like we have the same interests."

Minjun sighed. "So, you're going after a normal person now? Did you do another background check on him?"

Lena shook her head. "Nope," she said. "I don't want to do that. I actually want to try and have a genuine human relationship."

"And he's not a normal person. He's also a CEO," she smiled. "We decided to grab some coffee downtown. That's why I'm dressed like this."

"Hmm," Minjun hummed, narrowing his eyes at his mother. "I still don't buy it."

"Aww, is my little son upset about this? I thought you wanted me to go out and date? It's

been a long time since I've done something like this-too long, actually. He's the first person to capture my attention right at the very beginning."

"Don't you want your mom to be happy?"

Minjun felt something tug at his heart. It was true that he told her mom to date someone. It truly had been a while since she tried for love.

However, something nagged at the back of Minjun's head. If her mom finds love from someone else, then will she not need him anymore?

Minjun subtly shook his head.

"Of course, I want you to be happy, Mom," he softly smiled, causing Lena to also break out into a smile.

"You know that I always want you to be happy," he added.

Lena patted his cheek. "I would kiss your cheek, but I don't want my lipstick to smudge."

Just then, a car horn was heard from outside of their house.

"That's him," she said. "Wish me luck?"

"Good luck, Mom," Minjun said, his voice coming out weaker than he had wanted.

With that, her mom walked toward the door, giving him one last wave before she closed it.

As soon as the door was closed, Minjun, as well as the other workers, ran to the living room window to get a glimpse of the man who had captured the attention of the iron lady.

"Let me see!" Minjun insisted, securing his spot amidst the other workers.

With his hair ruffled, he watched as the man got out of his expensive-looking car and opened the door to the passenger seat, leading his mom inside. There was a wide smile on his

relatively handsome face, causing Minjun to frown.

"Wait a minute," he muttered.

"That's Azure's CEO."
