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

Chapter 304 He Definitely Likes Her

June practically zoomed through the hallways since Fu decided to be a little shit and only give him one hour for the side quest.

[Time left for side quest: 48 minutes, 7 seconds]

It was a good thing Jordan signed his notebook right away. He would have done it faster if that Nico guy hadn't interrupted, but June was able to accomplish it nonetheless.

He could feel that Nico wasn't too fond of him, but he really didn't care.

Nico seemed harmless enough.

Just then, he heard a couple of giggles coming from the sports room of the building. He quickly went to the source of the sound and sighed in relief when he saw LUNIX inside.

The five-member girl group laughed happily as they played a ping pong game, the scene looking straight out of a fairy tale. The sun seeped through the curtains and illuminated their ethereal faces.

If other men saw the sight before them, then most would faint from the amount of beauty in the room.

However, June wasn't like most men…and he had a side quest to accomplish.

So, without any hesitation, he knocked on the ajar door and took a step forward.

The girls stopped giggling and put their paddles down, turning to the intruder. They looked surprised to see a male rookie idol (who was very handsome) standing outside the door.

Amira, the leader of the team, recognized it to be the pink-haired idol who was staring at her during their rehearsal. Although she was used to the attention, she felt herself blush since nobody was ever that bold to stare at her for an entire performance.

And to think that this rookie idol personally came to their room!

'Does he like me that much?' Amira thought.

However, despite feeling giddy that she had made yet another rookie idol fall for her, Amira tried her hardest not to show that she was flattered. Instead, she protectively went in front of her teammates and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Yes? Do you need anything?" she asked.

June fully opened the door and respectfully bowed.

"Good morning, seniors. Thank you for acknowledging my presence," he said before lifting his head and looking Amira straight in the eyes. "My name is June. I'm from a rookie group called EVE."

"We know you, of course!" Darcy exclaimed. "I watched all the episodes of Rising Stars! Can I have your autograph?"

Amira's eyes widened in surprise. She gently nudged her teammate. How could she ask for his autograph when he was a mere rookie?

To their surprise, June handled the situation pretty well.

He chuckled handsomely and smiled. "Sure, senior. Just as long as you give me your autograph first."

[Smooth, host. Very smooth.]

June internally smirked once Darcy agreed.

"Sure!" she exclaimed. "It would be my honor."

Darcy stared at his pink, sparkly notebook, feeling a bit weirded out. However, she shook her head and quickly signed her name on a blank page.

Who was she to judge if men liked pink, sparkly things?

Meanwhile, Amira felt like her ego had been stepped on. Did this rookie idol come here for Darcy and not her?

June patted her shoulder, causing Amira to glare at him.

"What?" she snapped, still disappointed.

"Can I also get your autograph?" he softly asked, causing Amira's breath to get caught in the back of her throat.

Her stubborn facade crumbled as she silently took the notebook from his hand, their skin brushing against each other.

Warm.

His hands felt warm.

Amira pursed her lips and signed the notebook, slowing down on purpose so she could enjoy this moment a tiny bit longer

However, the moment quickly ended as June took back his notebook and pen.

"Thanks," he genuinely smiled.

Amira once again felt her heart skip a beat.

"Well, that would be all, seniors," June bowed. "I just wanted to greet all of you."

Amira still hasn't recovered from her shock and wasn't able to respond. Fortunately, Darcy took the lead and smiled back at June.

"It was nice meeting you! We'll be rooting for your comeback," she exclaimed.

"Thank you, seniors," June said, waving goodbye and locking eyes with Amira before he left.

Amira was only able to breathe properly when June was out of the room.

She turned to her members, wide-eyed and still in disbelief at what she just witnessed.

Darcy weirdly looked at her. "Are you alright?" she asked.

"No," Amira shook her head. "Did he ask for your autograph?" she asked the three other members.

They all shook their heads, causing Amira's heart to race even faster in her chest.

"Then, did he smile at you when he left?"

"Umm, no," one of her members said. "Or maybe I just wasn't paying attention."

A small smirk appeared on Amira's face, and if this was an anime, there would be rainbows forming over her head.

She shook her head and leaned against the ping pong table, loving the feeling of wind that came from the windows threading through her hair.

'Ah, he definitely likes me.'

Meanwhile, June couldn't help but smile since he already had three autographs.

Only one more to go.

However, he quickly frowned when he felt a sudden pain in his stomach accompanied by some grumbling.

"Oh, come on," he whispered. "Why right now?"

[Time left for side quest: 34 minutes, 57 seconds]

He suddenly felt the call of nature when there was only half an hour left for his side quest.

"It can't be helped."

June really needed to go right now. He quickly trudged through the hallways and went to the nearest comfort room. He was pleasantly surprised to find that their bathroom was very clean and even had a bidet!

When he was still studying in high school, all they had were doors that didn't have locks, walls filled with vandals, accumulated pee on the floor, and buckets filled with water! They didn't have an automatic flush, so they had to collect some water from the bucket to use as flushing material!

This was definitely a big upgrade.

He went inside one of the cubicles and immediately felt relieved.

June cleaned himself well, flushed the toilet, and was about to leave the cubicle when the door suddenly opened and three people came in.

"Gangnam Spice is really iconic!" one of them exclaimed.

They sounded familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time. June halted and listened in on their conversation.

"You're so noisy," another one grumbled.

The first guy whined. "You're always so mean to me! Shouldn't you report this to the manager, Uno?"
