From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 836: A Familiar Scenery

?

At least Dan wasn't lying when he said it would be a 'nice' club.

As June entered the black one-story building, he quickly realized that it was the fanciest club he had ever been in! The clubs he went to when he was still in White Tiger couldn't even come close to it.

This only added to June's hypothesis that Mr. Kim was someone important-probably one with a lot of money.

June wore his cap and mask as they walked through the bar. There were a lot of people, and he didn't want to risk getting his photo taken.

He knew the dangers of his decision to come here, so he needed to be extra careful.

With that, he kept an eye out for people who might have their phones out. Fortunately, they were all too busy dancing and eating each others' faces.

June found something more interesting in the club.

It seemed like his fashion craze had also reached such an audience. There were a lot of people wearing oversized shirts and faded sweatpants as they danced to the raunchy music.

They finally arrived at the VIP lounge.

June's expression hardened.

Despite being a nice club, it also has the same concept as the other clubs that June had been in.

The VIP area had an open area, which consisted of old men and younger, attractive people who were there to 'entertain' them.

However, alongside the open areas were the 'enclosed' spaces, where the real magic usually happened.

And by magic, June wasn't pertaining to the good kind.

"We're here," Dan said, stopping in front of the largest door in the room.

June gestured for him to go in first. Dan knocked before opening the door.

As soon as he entered, there was a series of exclamations within the room.

Another suspicion of June's had been ticked off.

This wasn't the first time Dan was meeting such people.

"It's been so long!"

"We missed you, Dan. We missed your little gifts, too."

"Aww, are you here all alone?"

Dan stopped at the doorway and glanced at June.

"No, I'm here with someone else," he said. With that, he gestured for June to come inside.

June entered the room, already knowing what to expect.

The room was filled with a mixture of nasty perfume, alcohol, and sex.

"Ah, a boy?" one of the old men exclaimed. "That's a good thing. Mr. Kim is actually looking for-"

Dan cleared his throat before the old man could finish his statement.

Meanwhile, June wandered his eyes around the room.

There were only a few people inside the room, and he could quickly segregate who was there for their money and who was there because they needed it.

"Umm, let me introduce you, guys," Dan said.

"These are some of my co-workers from before. They're all in the entertainment industry."

June nodded before removing his cap and mask.

As soon as his face was revealed, gasps were heard inside the room.

It wasn't only because of June's breathtaking handsomeness but because of his fame. They couldn't believe that a star like him would come to a place like this!

Their eyes showed intrigue, and he quickly became the center of attention-with everyone wanting to get close to him.

...Mostly for sexual reasons.

A face like June's only came around once in a thousand years, and being able to spend a night with someone like that must feel like heaven.

"Nice to meet you all," June said.

"Dan's my manager's proxy for the day, so he asked me to join him here for a short while. Please take care of me."

Feigning innocence.

That was the first step of June's plan.

"Right," Dan chuckled. "Where's Mr. Kim, by the way?"

"He met some investors in another room," another man answered. "He'd be back after a while. You can sit while waiting."

Dan and June nodded before sitting on the middle couch. As June walked past them, they felt their amazement increase.

He really did appear like a star.

Dan quickly talked to his colleagues while June sat quietly, just observing the interior of the

room.

Escape routes.

There was one at the right, barely visible. This must be where the 'important people' leave

through during police raids.

CCTV cameras.

As expected, there were none.

They knew that having such would only increase their chances of getting caught.

"Do you want a drink?" Dan asked after a while.

June pursed his lips and nodded, taking the glass.

Dan watched him intently as he took a swig with half of the glass emptied.

Then, Dan went back to talking with his colleagues.

With that, June took out the water bottle from Dan's compartment to take away the bad taste from his mouth.

"You're not a fan of alcohol?" a young man asked, dressed in tight clothes.

June turned to them-three people who appeared to be around his age, maybe even younger. There was another one like them, but she was on the lap of one of the old men in the room.

"Mhhm, you could say that," June responded.

The three were silent for a few moments, just glancing knowingly at each other.

June's eyebrows raised in inquiry.

"Oh, it's nothing," one of the girls with short hair said. "We just can't believe that you're this

good-looking."

"Oh," June said, looking down at his lap. "I just came from a schedule, so I'm all made up."

"I don't think it's the make-up," the young man said. "I think it's just your face. You're really

a different breed, bro. No wonder your group is so popular these days."

June shook his head in amusement.

Well, it seemed like they were a decent group of people, so June felt like his plan would go

smoother than anticipated.

"What's your guys' name?" June asked, wanting to know how to address them.

"Right," the short-haired girl chuckled. "My name's Hailey. You can call me Hail."

"I'm Hyuck," the guy said.

"And I'm Allison," the girl with platinum-blonde hair said. "You can just call me Ali."

June nodded. "Aliases?" he asked.

Hyuck smiled and nodded. "Of course," he said. "Everyone goes by aliases here. Well, it's not really an alias but a stage name? Yeah, that's what I would like to call it."

June nodded.

Trainees.

He was a hundred percent sure that these kids were trainees.

Just then, June felt a pat on his shoulder.

"We're heading out for a smoke, June," Dan said. "Mr. Kim is taking longer than usual."

"Is that alright with you?"

June nodded. "Yeah, be back soon."

Dan smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry."

"Alright, we'll be back soon. We want to smoke here, but the last time they did that, the

smoke alarms went off," he chuckled.

"It's perfectly fine," June said.

"You can leave me alone."

Dan nodded. "Alright, I'll see you later."

With that, he went out of the room with his colleagues, laughing to themselves.
