From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show-Novel

Bo Wen.

That baldie.

June was a mafor bald people in his life, and they seemed to leave him in the dust every single time.

Mr. Kli, however, left a good lasting impression with his departure, so June couldn't really compare him to Bo Wen, who betrayed him despite their friendship.Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

"I'll be there soon," Haruki sighed. "I know. I should have informed you, but I had to meet my brother."

"I'm going hnow. I just have to bring a friend—I mean, someone home," Haruki continued.

"No, it's not a woman," he sighed in frustration.

June held onto Haruki's arm, causing him to stop talking.

"You can dropoff at Phoenix," June said, his curiosity eating him up.

He wanted to see if the Bo Wen that Haruki was talking about was the Bo Wen he knew.

Haruki frowned in confusion. "Are you sure?" he asked. "The building is still far from Azure."

"I'm sure," June said.

"Fine," Haruki sighed, placing the phone back to his ear.

"I'll be going straight to the dorms. Don't wait up for me—"

The phone call ended before Haruki could finish his sentence, causing him to shake his head.

"I swear, it feels like we're being protected by a thug sometimes," Haruki muttered.

"Should we go?" he asked.

June nodded, wanting to see this 'Bo Wen' as soon as possible.

June believed he wouldn't be able to accomplish Fu's latest mission unless he went back to China.

However, it seemed like the world had a funny way of proving June wrong.

The two drove silently to Phoenix's building, with June still thinking deeply about the possibility of meeting Bo Wen there.

When they finally arrived, June couldn't help himself. He got out of Haruki's car and looked around the underground parking lot.

Haruki looked at him in confusion.

"Do you hate being in my car that much?" he muttered.

However, June couldn't hear anything else as his ears rang.

There, trudging toward him, was Bo Wen—the Bo Wen he knew...the Bo Wen who killed him...the Bo Wen he considered his friend.

Bo Wen bypassed June and went to Haruki to observe his body for any injuries.

"Are you okay?" he asked in a tone that obviously cfrom a foreigner.

June chuckled bitterly. Since when did this bastard know how to speak Korean?

"I'm fine," Haruki responded. "We didn't go to a populous place. I just had to meet my brother, whom I haven't seen in years."

"You still should have told me," Bo Wen said. "I could have accompanied you guys to ensure your safety."

June wanted to laugh out loud as Bo Wen said those words.

Him? Being worried for an idol's safety?

What a fucking joke.

He can kill his friend but can't even let an idol go and live his normal life.

June snapped out of his thoughts and turned to the two of them, who were looking at him with concerned expressions.

"Are you alright? You appeared out of it just now," Haruki said.

June looked down at the ground before nodding.

"Yeah, I'm gonna go," June said, not wanting to explode right then and there.

Haruki held onto his arm.

"How are you going to go home?" Haruki asked. "I was your ride."

"I'll walk," June said without any hesitation. Maybe walking would clear his head so he could think of his next course of action.

"Are you crazy?" Haruki asked. "EVE might not be as popular as CHAOS, but you still have a lot of fans. You can't walk by yourself."

"It doesn't matter," June said.

Haruki clicked his tongue. "Get inside the car. I'll take you to Azure."

June shook his head, about to disagree, when Bo Wen suddenly spoke.

"I'll go with him," he said. "It's dangerous for you two to be out on your own."

Haruki sighed and turned to June. "Is that alright with you?"

June pursed his lips and looked into Bo Wen's eyes.

Undoubtedly, he didn't look like the annoying guy he was friends with in the past. He also didn't have the murderous look when he contributed to his death that night.

They were engulfed in deafening silence, waiting for June to respond.

Then, he finally nodded.

"Okay," he muttered.

Bo Wen nodded, taking the keys from Haruki.

"Stay inside the dorm. You have a personal schedule in the evening, so rest well. Your manager and I will be taking you to the site later."

"Got it," Haruki said. "Now go and take him to Azure."

June walked to the backseat, feeling hatred blooming inside his heart as Bo Wen started driving to Azure's dorm building.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest and observed Bo Wen's face in the rearview mirror.

Aside from his big, bald head, he appeared to be a completely different person. He was even wearing a suit—one he would never be caught wearing when Jun Hao was still alive.

"How long have you been a guard?" June asked, his voice as cold as ice.

Bo Wen was startled by the sudden question. Nonetheless, he still answered respectfully.

"Just this year, sir. Only for two weeks, to be exact," he responded.

"Not that long then," June muttered.

"What did you do before coming here?" June asked another question.

Bo Wen froze but quickly recovered, clearing his throat before responding.

"Um, I was also a guard of ssort," he awkwardly said.

'Guard, my ass.'

'Hitman, you mean,' June thought.

"I'm assuming you're not from around here," June continued.

Bo Wen perked up, glancing at June from the mirror.

"How did you know?" he asked.

"Your accent," June said.

"Ah, yeah, I haven't started learning Korean for long, so I'm still struggling," Bo Wen said.

"I cfrom Shanghai, China," he proudly added.

"Then, why did you chere?" June asked, his fists clenched in frustration. He couldn't control his tone in this particular question, so it cout harsher than expected.

Bo Wen pursed his lips before responding.

"I needed a job," he muttered. "So, I chere."

'A job?' June thought.

He was sure that being one of Laohu's precious lackeys paid better than being a guard.

Unless...

June felt like he was hit in the head when he finally had a realization.

Phoenix must be involved with the White Tiger gang to sextent.

That would explain why Lin Zhi, Bo Wen, and maybe Laohu was working with them!

June shook his head, a small smirk appearing on his face.

If that was the case, then he needed to get Bo Wen on his side at all costs.

Not only will this bring him closer to getting justice for his death, but it will also answer his questions regarding the White Tiger Gang.

Fortunately, June knew one of Bo Wen's weaknesses—one that he wasn't even aware of himself.

"Well, that's great," June smiled, leaning his head against the headrest.

They had just arrived at Azure's dorm, and Bo Wen was pulling up to their underground parking lot.

As Bo Wen parked the car, June spoke.

"I guess, you need to make a lot of money if you want to meet your family again."
