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

544 Disguise Surprise

"Are you insane?" Bo Wen exclaimed, looking at the idol with wide eyes. "Do you want to getfired?"

"What?" June chuckled. "You can't extract information without being caught now? Finally lost your spark, huh?"

Bo Wen pursed his lips.

June stepped forward and pointed a finger to his chest.

"I know that you cto Phoenix for a reason," June meaningfully said, hinting at the possible link between Phoenix and the White Tiger gang.

Bo Wen froze, merely confirming June's suspicions.

"You can betray your friend, but you can't betray your boss?" June mocked.

"Besides," he continued while nonchalantly looking at his nails. "You need my information more than I need yours."

Bo Wen still did not respond, causing June to nod.

"Alright. I'll give you stime," he said. "By the end of the week, I need a response. If there isn't any, I'll just assyou don't want to cooperate."

"Oh, and go ahead and tell this to anyone if you want. I'm sure they wouldn't even believe you in the first place."

Bo Wen's breath got stuck in the back of his throat since he knew June was right.

"I'll head up then," June coldly said.

However, before he could take another step forward, he quickly halted.

Then, he went back to where Bo Wen was.

"Before I forget," June said, placing his hand on Bo Wen's shoulder and planting a kiss on his cheek.

Bo Wen froze while June shivered in disgust because of the feeling of stubble against his lips.

"Welcback, friend," June whispered in a sinister tone before walking away without looking back.

As he turned around, he harshly wiped his lips with his hands and shook his head.

'Are you satisfied now?'

[Congratulations! You have accomplished your mission!]

[Stage Presence: +2]

[This will cin handy during your comeback!]

[Current Grade: A+]

As June arrived at the foot of the stairs, he stopped when he saw a familiar figure standing beneath it, looking at him with a pale face and wide eyes.

June's eyes also widened as he gulped.

"Casper," he muttered. "What are you doing here?"

Casper didn't respond and only pointed an accusing finger toward his way.

June face palmed and massaged the bridge of his nose.

"Did you see that?" he asked.

Again, Casper didn't respond, causing June to shake his head.

"Goodness. Why do you have to be here at this very moment?"

"Jay askedto get something from the car," Casper muttered.

"Such perfect timing you have," June said.

June looked at him weirdly. "What are you doing?"

Casper kindly smiled and continued patting his back.

"We accept you for who you are."

The two entered the dorm room, with Casper still comforting June with what happened.

June was not having any of it.

"You know, it's really alright. We live in the 21st century! We should be free to love who we love. However, I was surprised by your type. I assyou like unique-looking people."

June halted and glared at Casper.

"Shut up, will you? I've told you plenty of times—it's not like that!"

"You kissed him on the cheek," Casper deadpanned.

"It's for a—for a—"

Mission.

June groaned in frustration since he really couldn't divulge that information.

"Just forget about it," June said. "It's not what you're thinking of. Plain and simple."

"I get it," Casper said, finally nodding in understanding. "You're still in the denial phase."

"Bastard," June groaned, already having enough of his teammate.

They arrived in the living room, where they saw Jay and their members getting ready to go to the practice room.

"Where are the files I asked you to bring?" Jay asked when he saw Casper and June go inside the room.

"Oh," Caper said when he realized he forgot his initial objective.

Jay sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "I was about to discuss sthings with you before going to the practice room."

Casper scratched the back of his head. "Sorry. I got distracted."

Jay glanced at June and sighed in defeat.

"Fine, I'll let you off the hook. Let's just talk about it on our way there."

The other members nodded as they followed Jay to the car.

They arrived at the car, and Jay immediately handed Jaeyong the files that he had asked Casper to fetch.

"There's only one copy, so bear with me," Jay said.

"It's alright," Jaeyong said. "We'll just share."

"Well, these are just the variety shows that you are bound to go to once your comeback period commences," Jay started off.

"For starters, the three of you are going to Idol Box. Then, all eight of you will be going to this YouWatch show."

Akira groaned when he didn't see the variety shows he was hoping to go on.

"Where's Crawling Man?" he asked.

Jay chuckled as he glanced at Akira. "Crawling Man is really hard to get into. Even other popular idols were only able to go on it years after their debut."

"Uno got to go on it during their debut," June said.

"That's because Uno is from a big company," Jay responded. "It's different."

Akira sighed in disappointment. "Well, I guess this is better than nothing. BOYMYSTIC gets treated like dust these days, so we should be thankful, right?"

Jay pursed his lips and nodded. "Yeah, we should enjoy it while we can."

June shook his head. 'This darn company,' he thought.

"Before I forget, there's still one variety show you need to go to," Jay continued as he pulled up to the curb.

Jaeyong flipped the page, his eyebrows raising in surprise when he saw the popular TV show.ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglishFir(e).nᴇt

"Disguise Surprise Singer?" Jaeyong asked as he turned to Jay. "Isn't that super popular right now?"

"It is," Jay smirked. "They were the ones who reached out to us, and I tried my best to convince the PR team to get you to go!"

"I'm assuming only one of us will go, though?" Jaeyong followed-up.

"Yup," Jay said. "In fact, they've already specified who they want to go."

June was busy fiddling with his phone, impatiently waiting for Bo Wen to confirm his cooperation.

However, when he felt everybody's gaze on him, he quickly looked up.

He had been listening to their conversation this entire time, so he felt like he already knew what Jay was going to say.

"What?" June still asked.

"Surprise!" Jay exclaimed. "You're going to Disguise Surprise Singer!"
