From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

”Where are you going to stay?” June asked Minjun as he massaged Grandma’s legs.

It had been three days since Grandma was admitted to the hospital, and they were currently stabilizing her current infection before they started the chemotherapeutic therapy.

Lena was already aware of the situation, but she couldn’t come home due to her busy schedule.

Meanwhile, June had visited every night after all of their schedules. Grandma told him that he didn’t have to visit all the time, but June wanted to make sure that she was in good hands.

Fortunately, Dr. Oh treated Grandma really well, so she already appeared to be in a much better condition than when she was admitted to the hospital.

The main problem was Minjun.

Not only was he unaware of Grandma’s diagnosis, but he had been living all alone in their apartment for the last couple of days.

“Can’t I come with you?” Minjun asked. “Or maybe I can stay at home by myself. I’ve already done that for two days.”

Grandma clicked her tongue. “You can’t be on your own.”

“And you can’t live at the dorms, too. You’re most likely going to be on your own anyway since we’re very busy these days,” June said.

“I don’t want to live with my mom’s friend, though,” Minjun sulked.

“We’ve already talked about this, Minjun, Grandma said. “You’re only going to stay there temporarily until Grandma recovers fully.”

“How severe is your sickness anyway? You’re already very healthy, so I don’t see a problem with you going home.”

Grandma clicked her tongue. “You already know that Grandma is doing her best to recover. In order to do that, I have to stay at the hospital for a long time. I also want to go home, but your mom insisted that I stay here so the doctors can monitor me better.”

“Aside from that, your mom hired me a personal nurse who will take care of me while you guys aren’t around,” she continued.

“I’m having a hard time because I can’t see my precious grandsons all the time, but I’m enduring it well. I hope you also endure it well, Minjun. We’ll see each other again soon.”

Minjun turned silent after Grandma said those words.

Then, he nodded in understanding.

“It’s alright. They don’t have a son, and they’ve been wanting to take care of one, so I’m sure they’ll treat you well,” Grandma said.

June nodded in agreement. “Send me the address, and I’ll visit you from time to time.”

Just then, June’s phone rang, making Minjun chuckle when he saw June’s tired face.

“You’re really working non-stop these days,” he said. “This must be the price of fame.”

“I don’t even know,” June said. “We’re doing brand deals left and right, and we can’t even refuse them.”

“The company doesn’t screen them out for you?” Minjun asked.

“They do,” June responded. “But you already know—they will suck you dry if it means they’re going to have money.”

“Sucks,” Minjun said. “Well, at least you’re getting paid well.”

“The company’s the most well-paid, though,” June said.

“Answer the call,” Minjun said, so June pressed the ‘answer’ button and brought the phone next to his ear.

“Jay,” June greeted.

“June. I know you told me to come pick you up later, but I have something important to say. Well, it’s already been decided, but I still feel like you should know about it.”

“Got it,” June said, standing from the bed. “I’m on my way down.”

With that, he ended the call and faced Grandma and Minjun with a regretful smile.

“I need to head out now,” he said.

“Of course, honey,” Grandma said. “You’ve already done enough. Do yourself a favor and don’t come here tomorrow. You should rest in your free time. I’m sure you’re very busy with all that’s happening.”

“Yeah,” Minjun said. “You’re going to lose your handsomeness if you continue like this.”

June chuckled. That definitely wasn’t going to happen. Unless his visual stats would go down, then he’d be eternally handsome.

“I’ll see you guys when I have more free time then,” June said.

“Good,” Grandma said. “I’ll be watching you from the television anyway.”

June chuckled in amusement. “I’ll see you when I see you, Grandma!” With that, June went down to the parking lot and entered their van.

“June!” Jay exclaimed in a half-concerned and a half-excited voice.

Because of this, June didn’t know whether Jay was going to tell him something good or bad.

June brought down the car mirror and looked at himself while Jay continued beating around the bush.

He observed his face to see if his visuals had degraded due to all the stress he’d been in. However, he smirked when he saw that he was still handsome and glowing as usual.

Jay observed him for a moment and sighed while shaking his head.

“Oh, to have a face like that,” Jay muttered.

After observing his face for a couple more seconds, June finally turned to Jay.

“So, what did you want to tell me?” he asked.

“Are you done ogling your face now?” Jay teased.

“Just tell me,” June deadpanned.

“Right,” Jay said. “Well, first of all, I know that you’re very busy with everything going on. But you’ve been given another opportunity by the company.”

“They’ve already agreed to it, haven’t they?” June asked.

Jay nodded. “Yeah. Normally, these things go though me, too, and I sometimes have a say whether I believe you fit well with the concept. Fortunately, I think you fit well into this project.”

“The higher-ups also agreed to it because it’s a great opportunity for your talents to get even more well-known. And since your promotions have ended, you can spare some time for it. Well, it’s not yet a done deal since you still need to undergo some processes before it becomes official.

“Tell me about it,” June said.

“Well, the company was contacted by VIVI productions,” Jay started off.

“Hmm,” June hummed, finding the name of the movie production team familiar.

They have put out famous movies like ‘Protozoa,’ ‘Bus to Busan,’ ‘The Man from Somewhere,’ and many more.

They were a movie production team that produced movies that became hits not only in the domestic market but also in the West. Still, they had some flops here and there, but they were definitely doing better than most movie production teams at the moment.

“They currently have an ongoing unnamed project. However, the script is finished. I believe they already have their male lead and female lead actors, too. However, they’re looking for an actor for one of the side characters.”

“I heard that it was very hard to get in since it was a closed audition, but the team contacted the company themselves.”

“Let me guess,” June said. “I have to audition for it?”

Jay nodded, still looking a bit nervous.

“And let me take another guess,” June sighed. “Is it going to be tomorrow?”

Jay turned to him in pleasant surprise.

“How did you know?”

At this point, June wasn’t surprised anymore.
