From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show - Chapter 911: The Mystery Is Solved

Lena sniffed after June’s performance.

“What the heck is that?” she muttered.

He had gone on another date with Lei, so she was still wearing her fancy red dress.

June smiled at the screen, and for a moment, Lena felt enamored. This guy was truly too handsome for the human eyes.

“Goodness, I hate him,” she said as she wiped away the tears from her eyes.

However, even as she said those words, she couldn’t deny June’s talent.

It was one thing for her to hate him for influencing Minjun and putting him in danger. However, it was another thing for him to be able to capture everyone with his talent alone.

He was, in a way, a perfect idol.

“What a shame,” she muttered.

She glanced at the clock and saw that over an hour had already passed.

“The episode is ending soon,” she said, sounding a bit sad. In fact, the show was bound to end soon, and the cast members were probably heading back by dawn.

She shook her head and focused her gaze back on the television, expecting the show to end with June’s peaceful performance.

However, much to her surprise, a narration was shown on the screen.

“The answer to the mystery,” she read the narration out loud. “We will show you now.”

Lena’s eyebrows raised in surprise when the next scene was shown. It was a dark frame, and the audio sounded raw. A shuffling of feet was heard before a figure emerged.

It was unclear at first. However, some rays of sunshine peeked through the ceiling, and Joonie was revealed.

– What is happening?

– What is this? This looks so freaking creepy.

– Yeah, this is beyond the editing of ‘Everyday, Everynight.’ It suddenly feels like a crime show.

– I’ve never seen this part of the house before. Is it even part of it?

– Joonie? What is he doing there?

Lina propped herself up on the pillows to get a better look at what was happening. Half of the view was occluded with what seemed to be a wall, but it was still clear enough.

In Joonie’s hands was a familiar pink box-too familiar, perhaps.

As the footage continued, it was clear what he had done. Joonie looked around as if afraid that he would be caught committing the crime before he opened the box and started stuffing his face with cupcakes.

Lena’s eyes widened. Based on the camera’s position, this would not have been planned. Why did Ramil PD include such footage?

– What the heck? Is Joonie the cupcake stealer?

– OMG! The mystery has been solved.

– Gosh, so pretentious! And to think he wanted to blame June for it.

– Where are the people defending him now?

– This is so freaking weird!

– Ramil PD sucks! Why would he include this in the show?

The question was answered right away as ‘Everyday, Everynight’ shot to the highest rating list-not only for the day but for the entire year, quickly surpassing the record they had made for the finale of the first season.

Lena shook her head.

“This would be the hottest news of the week.”

The cast members were finally bound to go home after a grueling nine-day shoot.

Joonie was still keeping up with his act, especially since he still didn’t know what was happening on social media. However, he did feel that the staff was more hostile toward him- which made him feel apprehensive.

“Once again, thank you so much for joining the show,” Ramil PD said, getting ready to part with the cast members. “It has been very successful because of you guys.”

They all bowed in gratitude.

As they were about to leave, however, Ramil PD called for June’s attention.

“June,” he said, also causing the others to halt.

June turned around with raised eyebrows. “Yes?” he asked.

Ramil PD smirked and gave him a thumbs up.

June also smirked. “Was the response good?”

Ramil PD nodded. “More than good. It’s drastic!”

June glanced at Joonie, who still appeared confused. “That’s good then,” he said. “That’s all I need to know.”

Ramil PD nodded and waved goodbye, and with that, June walked to their car.

“What was that about?” Jisung asked, patting June’s shoulder.

June shook his head as he boarded the car. “You’ll know once we have a signal.”

Jisung and Casper turned to each other before shaking their heads and deciding to let it go.

Just then, the car door opened once more, revealing Joonie, who had a wide and kind smile on

his face.

Casper instantly frowned. “What are you doing here?” he asked.

Joonie’s smile widened. “We’re going to take the same car,” he said. “We are from the same company, after all.”

“Then, does that mean…” June muttered.

Just then, another person came in-Mei, who appeared to also not expect the car

arrangement.

“Are we going bankrupt?” she asked as she entered. “Why is Azure cramping us into one

van?”

Joonie chuckled. “Well, you’re different now that there are no cameras around.”

“And I see that you’re still the same very pretentious,” Mei said, not holding back.

She was once again grumpy because they practically starved yesterday. June decided not to

help with the cooking after being accused of stealing the cupcakes.

Joonie’s eyes widened while Casper laughed out loud. He held out a hand toward Mei, and she

high-fived him haphazardly.

Joonie sighed. “Why do I have a feeling that you guys don’t like me?”

“That’s your assumption, not ours,” Casper said.

June shook his head and popped his earphones on. Joonie placed his hand on his shoulder.

“Why won’t you join our conversation?” he asked.

June removed one earphone and looked him in the eyes.

“I have something to do,” he vaguely said.

After Jisung had asked him to listen to the instrumental he had made, June had been playing it

at the end of each night. Finally, after their shooting had finished, he realized that it had brought him immense comfort.

In that way, he was able to gain inspiration, so he wanted to write some lyrics before they escaped his mind.

“Besides,” June added with a smirk. “I think you have more things to worry about than me joining the conversation.”
