From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 780 A Pretty Cool Dude

It didn't take a genius to know that everyone liked the new manager. Except for one person—June. The young interns looked at him like he saved them during their past lives. The old people found him very charismatic with his pearly-white teeth and kind voice. The members of LUNAIRE, even Mei, appeared to be fond of him too. At first glance, he really seemed like a harmless dude. He even seemed pretty chill! However, there was something in him that June couldn't quite pinpoint. He didn't see it in his actions, but he felt it—there was something strange. Akira skipped to where the members of EVE were with a wide smile. "Lei's pretty cool," he smiled. Jisung nodded in agreement. "I spoke to him for a second, and it seems like he likes dramas too! What a cool dude." "Hmm," Zeth said. "I can tell that he also works out. I should talk to him about his routine." "Me too," Sehun said. "Me three," Casper chimed, making June's eyebrows raise in surprise. June turned to Casper while the latter looked at him with confusion. Then, June shook his head. "Not Casper, too," he muttered. "Jay looks like he's in love again," Ren said, nodding toward his direction. Jay was sitting next to Lei, talking animatedly while the latter nodded and listened intently. "Am I reading too much into this?" June asked. He felt like a complete outsider! You know that feeling when you don't like someone in class while your other classmates are seemingly fine with them? June felt like that after a long while. "Have you talked to him yet?" Jisung asked. June shook his head. "Well, you should," Jisung urged. "I think the two of you are going to get along. I believe he'll be a great manager for LUNAIRE." June clicked his tongue. He really wasn't sure of that.

"No thanks," June said. "I'm fine here. I'll just wait for the celebration to end."

Jisung nudged his shoulder in a teasing manner. "Are you feeling shy?" he asked. June clicked his tongue. "It's not that," he argued. "I just don't see the point of speaking with him." "Why not?" Zeth asked. "We'll probably bump into him a lot since he manages LUNAIRE now." "Come on," Akira said, poking June's side. "Just talk to him!" "I don't want to," June deadpanned. "It wouldn't be that bad," Jisung chimed. June sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "I don't want—" "Ooh!" Akira suddenly exclaimed, his gaze directed toward else. "It seems like you don't even have to come to him. He's coming over here with Jay." June clicked his tongue and confirmed that they were, indeed, walking toward their way. "I said I didn't want to," June muttered.

He pursed his lips and let out a small smile as the two of them arrived at their spot. June didn't know what to say, so he merely observed the new manager. He really did look quite handsome—almost like an actor. His eyes reminded him of someone, but June couldn't recall it in the back of his head. Lei looked at the boys and smiled. "EVE," he said, placing both hands over his heart. "It's really an honor to be here with you. I can't believe I am in the presence of legends in the making." The boys gushed while June remained silent. "Well, he definitely has a way with words," he muttered. "I believe I've spoken to most of you except for June," he remarked. "Yeah," Akira smiled. "I think June feels pretty shy approaching you first." June glared at Akira for a second, causing the latter to chuckle. Lei, too, burst into chuckles, making June sigh. latest chapt𝒆rs at freewebnovёl.ƈom Only.

"Well, that can't be the case," he said. "I should be the one who's embarrassed to approach such a big star." June cleared his throat and straightened his spine. "That's nonsense," he said in a professional tone while holding out his hand. "We'll be co-workers from now on, so it's best if we feel comfortable with each other."

Lei smiled and took June's hand. "I'll be honored," Lei said, shaking June's hand. At that moment, June glanced down at their hands. June felt pretty suspicious, so he wanted to confirm something. Even though he was left-handed, he held out his right hand so that Lei would receive it with his left hand. June searched for it, not really expecting much. So, when he saw a familiar tattoo on the inner portion of Lei's arm, he felt like his world came crashing down. He froze, and his grip had become incredibly strong. However, even then, Lei didn't flinch, further confirming June's suspicion. "Care to let go of my arm now?" He could hear words being thrown around, but he couldn't comprehend them. It sounded like one giant blur. "June," Casper said in a worried tone, causing him to snap back to reality. He pursed his lips and looked around, seeing the questioning stares of Lei and his members. June looked at Lei's arm once more to confirm if he saw it right. There, he saw the tattoo once again—White Tiger. Then, he quickly let go of his hand, almost as if it was made out of fire. The tension was thick for a moment. Fortunately, Akira broke it with a joke. "June was acting shy a while ago, but now, he doesn't want to let go of Lei's hand." The members laughed, with Jay being the loudest. Lei, too, chuckled along with them while June maintained a neutral expression. As soon as they were done laughing, Lei turned to June. "Are you sure you're okay?" he asked. "It seems like you spaced out for a moment there." June returned to normal, a playful smile appearing on his lips. "I'm fine," he said. "You don't have to worry about it." Lei sighed in relief. "That's good. I heard from the others that you caused an accident because of fatigue a while ago. Don't exert yourself so much, okay?" he said with a smile before gently patting June's shoulder. "Well, I guess I'll be speaking with the oldies now," he said, making the others chuckle. With that, he waved his hand at the boys behind June. "See?" Jisung said, nudging June's shoulder. "He's cool, right?" June smirked, crossing his arms in front of his chest. "Yeah. Cool," he said. Then, he whispered the next word, none of his members being able to hear him. "Laohu."
