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

Chapter 451 June's Unusual Harem

?Ted was appalled.

He couldn't believe the girl he liked was actually suggesting something so vile.

"So, you're proposing that a rookie group produce their own song for their very first comeback?" Ted couldn't watch his tone, so he sounded angrier than expected.

Mari pursed her lips. This was the exact reason why she didn't want to speak up in the first place.

However, as of the moment, she felt like she could do anything for June.

She could even drink toilet water or jump off a train if he asked her to do just that.

"Well, I feel like it's not common, but it's not impossible," Mari smiled. "If they want to do just that, then what could we lose?"

Ted pursed his lips.

He would lose everything!

He cannot, for his sake, have this song scrapped after working hard on it.

"We could potentially lose this title track," Ted said.

"It's not definitive," Mari responded. "We can improve this song, so EVE would like it more."

Ted opened his mouth to argue, but with Mari looking at him with her cute cat-like eyes, he found it hard to refute his suggestions.

"Right, Ted. We can improve the song even more, hmm?" she asked in a sweet tone, making Ted's breath get caught in the back of his throat.

Ted wordlessly nodded as if hypnotized.

June watched the scene before him with an amused smile. It seemed like Mari had a WhimsiLust potion of her own!

June never thought the potion would be of any use, but he actually benefited from it for two situations already.

Ted sighed as he faced the members of EVE. He felt humiliated, but his heart was dancing with joy since Mari talked to him so sweetly.

"Fine," he grumbled. "You can create a song or whatever. This song will still be the title track for now, but the A&R team will listen to the song you've produced and take it from there."

Relieved smiles arose on EVE's faces, and they were elated for the rare opportunity.

Ren patted June's back while June nodded in acknowledgment.

"If you don't have anything else to say, then let's end this meeting," Ted begrudgingly said before standing from his seat and walking out of the room.

However, as soon as he got out, his face reddened, and his knees buckled like a shy anime girl. He held onto the railings and felt himself gushing in happiness.

The door opened behind him, revealing Mari, who quickly paused when she saw Ted's position.

"Umm, are you alright?" Mari asked.

Ted froze and averted his gaze. He cleared his throat and straightened his posture before zooming out of the hallways out of embarrassment.

June sighed in relief as soon as the two producers were gone.

"I can't believe that just happened," Jay uttered, relaxing in his seat. "I've been trying to convince them to get you to produce even just one song, but they refused every time. I wonder what happened now."

"It was because of Mari," Ren replied. "We should thank her for giving us the opportunity."

"And we should create a good song for the opportunity they gave us," Jaeyong chimed.

"You should focus on your last performance for King of Kings for now," Jay advised. "I'll try to convince them to give you some more time to produce the song since the comeback is still in two months."

The members nodded, putting the topic aside for now.

Just then, June felt someone staring at him. He turned to the side and saw Casper looking at him with a slight glare.

June narrowed his eyes in suspicion.

Casper had been acting weird since June started filming 'Hate to Love You.' He had been strangely hostile every time they ran into each other in the dorms, and June also caught Casper staring at him multiple times without saying anything.

Well, shit.

He forgot about the potion again!

Casper stood from his seat and suddenly walked over to June. He gave him a small hug before going back to his seat.

The members' eyes widened after Casper's actions.

"Aww, Casper's not sulking anymore!" Akira exclaimed.

Just then, Casper stood once again, walking over to June and now ruffling his hair. June's hair was as soft as Luther's fur!

"I want to do it too," Jisung said, walking over to where June was to ruffle his hair.

However, in the midst of that, his eyes met with June's.

"June is so cute!" Jisung suddenly gushed.

June turned to Jay to ask for help.

June quickly closed his eyes as Jay flocked to him, too.

"June is mine!" Jay exclaimed.

The other members watched the scene before them with bewildered expressions.

"What the hell is going on?" Zeth muttered.

June turned to the side where he thought nobody would be sitting.

Then, he opened his eyes for a couple of seconds to find a way to escape.

However, much to his surprise, Sehun was sitting there, and their eyes met for a brief second.

However, that was already enough.

"Fuck!" June exclaimed loudly, turning to the other side.

However, Ren was sitting there, and although their eyes met for only a minuscule mooment, the effect was instantaneous.

[Remaining duration for effectivity: 18 hours]

June closed his eyes once more and elbowed everyone who was touching him.

He took back everything he said about the WhimsiLust potion.

It was shit.

He forcefully stood from his seat, still with his eyes closed. Then, without saying anything, he ran away from the infatuated members.

He could hear them following after him, so June quickened his face despite his closed eyes.

He navigated through the hallways of Azure Entertainment but halted when he bumped into a person.

....or rather...a group of people.

June opened his eyes for a moment to gauge what was going on.

As he lifted his head, he saw old, corporate people who looked miserable.

However, their expressions brightened as June stared back at them.
