From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 810: Welcome To China



The boys were already in sour moods after being bombarded at the airport. When they realized that June wasn't with them, their moods turned even more sour-borderline murderous.

"Where is he?" Casper asked, looking around the airport with furrowed eyebrows.

Jisung bit his lips in anxiousness.

"He helped me a while back," he said. "I didn't think that he needed some help, too. I'm a bad friend!"

"No, I'm a bad leader," Jaeyong said, already on the verge of tears. "I should have looked out for all of you!"

Akira paced back and forth, his eyes scanning the airport for June.

"What if something happened with him? What if someone abducted him already?" he exclaimed.

Ren pursed his lips. "Don't say things like that!" he exclaimed. However, he was already feeling anxious.

They stayed silent for a few moments, feeling at a loss.

They were aware of June's popularity and just how many crazy fans he had!

"I can't believe our first overseas schedule turned out like this," Casper muttered.

"I'll go look for him!" he said with determined eyes.

The guards turned to each other in surprise.

"You guys need to be at the boarding gate in five minutes," one of the guards said. "You can't afford to lose any more time, sir."

Casper's eyebrows furrowed.

"So? You're telling us to just leave June behind?" he asked.

"No, sir," the guard calmly said. "The two of us will go look for him."

Casper clicked his tongue when he finally noticed the number of guards they were with.

"There's only seven of you? I thought a total of eight would be here," he said, massaging the bridge of his nose in frustration.

Akira patted Jisung's shoulder and whispered in his ears, "Casper's actually pretty hot when he's serious like this."

Jisung clicked his tongue and pushed Akira away. "Now's not the time for that!"

"Sorry, sir," the guard said. "The other guard took care of your bags along with the van."

Casper shook his head in disappointment. "Then, they should have hired another one."

Jaeyong walked over to him and placed his hand over his shoulder.

"He's right, Casper," Jaeyong said. "We can't go out there anymore."

Jaeyong glanced outside and saw that there wasn't a single opening. It was still occluded by reporters and fans.

"Let's allow them to handle this," Jaeyong continued. "We'll wait inside."

"But what about June?" Casper asked.

"We're not going to leave without him," Jaeyong assured. "It's just not safe for us out there."

Casper pursed his lips, still feeling hesitant. However, in the end, he nodded.

With that, they made their way inside while the other guards went to look for June.

They were still in distress, feeling like the entire trip had been ruined.

June was the one who knew a lot about China, so he was already excited to show them some good Chinese food.

Most importantly, June curated their performance for the Jade Music Festival. He was the backbone of their group, so they knew they wouldn't be able to perform without him!

"What are we going to do?" Jisung asked as they arrived at the boarding gate. The other passengers were already lining up to get their passports and tickets checked, but EVE couldn't move, knowing that June wasn't with them.

The others looked down at the ground, also feeling useless.

However, they quickly lifted their heads when they heard a familiar voice.

"Took you guys long enough," he said.

Their eyes widened, and their postures immediately straightened.

"June?" Casper exclaimed.

June clicked his tongue and stood from one of the seats.

"You guys were so slow. They're going to close the gates soon!" he said.

"B—but—," Jaeyong stammered, in disbelief at what he was seeing.

June sighed and gestured for them to line up.

"Come on," he said. "We don't have any time to spare."

The boys were still shocked, but they still followed June's orders.

After their passports and tickets were checked, they finally made their way down the runway.

It was only then that they could ask what had happened.

"What the fuck happened to you?" Akira couldn't help but curse. "We thought you got

abducted or something!"

June frowned. "Abducted? They'd be lucky if they could abduct me."

"What did you do then?" Jisung asked.

June smirked and looked down at his outfit. "Well, it seems like this outfit has its perks."

"After I pushed away that girl who touched your abs, I was left without a guard," June

explained as they continued walking.

"Then, I just slipped away from the crowd and walked at the sides, which was relatively free," June continued.

"I even met Jia and her friends," he happily added.

The boys were taken aback. "So, you just walked here...by yourself?" Zeth asked in disbelief.

June nodded. "Yup. It was quite easy. I got here in no time."

"You know-I feel like June's luck is one of the biggest mysteries in the world," Akira

remarked.

"I can't tell whether it's good or not."

***

After a few hours, the plane finally descended.

Fortunately (and much to June's surprise), Azure actually booked them business-class

tickets, so they were able to have a comfortable flight.

It really did seem like Lei was earning the trust of the members.

As they made their way out of the plane and into the airport, the boys felt apprehensive once

again.

"The thing that happened in Incheon Airport is not going to happen again, right?" Ren asked, already sounding afraid.

"I sure hope it doesn't," Zeth said. "I love me some attention, but goodness, that was

excessive."

The boys all nodded in agreement, not wanting to experience something like that again.

However, after they got past immigration, there were crickets.

Not a single fan was waiting for them outside. Some people glanced at them, wondering how such a good-looking bunch of friends came to be. However, they didn't bother them at all.

"Well," Zeth said, feeling like his pride had been stomped on. "I didn't expect such profound

silence."

"Oh, wow," Ren said. "You actually know that word."

Zeth clicked his tongue as he glared at his friend.

"I honestly don't know what's worse," Akira said. "The fact that we had been mobbed in

Korea or the fact that nobody knows us here."

The others nodded except for June, who was looking at the airport with a nostalgic smile.

"Welcome to China, lads."
