From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 288 Ticklish Seaweed

Chapter 288 Ticklish Seaweed

The handsome guy leaned against the weathered rock, his tan skin kissed by the sun. His arms, toned and smooth, were stained with sand. His linen pants were touched by the waves, looking effortlessly stylish. His crisp white shirt flowed in the ocean breeze, dancing with the winds.

"Damn, Sehun's hot," Bora said as she continued looking at the handsome idol through her binoculars.

"I'm adding him to my bias list," Wei said. "How come I've never noticed him on the show?"

"Cause you guys are blind," Jia chimed. "I've noticed him after his performance with June."

"Oh, don't lie. If he didn't perform with June, then you wouldn't have known about him," Soo-min teased.

Jia clicked her tongue and brought her binoculars down. "Why do we have binoculars again?"

Na-ri shrugged. "I don't know. Ask Wei."

"Well," Wei said. "I was thinking we could go stargazing later at night. But I'm already looking at a star," she cheerfully said, continually observing Sehun.

"Oh my gosh," Bora said, causing the others to turn to her.

"What?" Jia asked.

"There! 9 o'clock," she exclaimed, pointing to the direction she was pertaining to.

Jia froze as she looked through her binoculars. Walking over to the set was June, his pink hair flowing through the wind. His eyes were squinted due to the sun, and it seemed like he didn't want to get his photos taken, but he looked handsome nonetheless.

Jia's hands shook as she followed him with her eyes. Na-ri looked at her in horror before holding onto her shoulder.

"Guys, I think Jia's malfunctioning!" she exclaimed.

"Yo, are you alright?" Bora asked.

Jia repeatedly shook her head. "He—He's so precious. My precious little guy."

"Gosh. Talk about luck," Soo-min said. "Our favorite idols are actually here."

"I've definitely used up all my luck for this moment," Wei said. "Should we go up there and talk to them?"

"No," Bora and Jia said at the same time.

Soo-min raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Don't you want to meet them?"

Jia shook her head. Although she loved June to the core, she knew the boundaries of their relationship. June was an idol. She was a fangirl.

"They have a professional schedule, it seems," Jia stated, still looking at him through the binoculars. "I don't want to put any burden on them. They came here to work—not to meet fans."

Wei sighed, nodding in agreement. "You're right. Besides, watching them from afar is already enough."

"Yeah," Jia whispered.

Watching from afar was already enough.

The thought made him frown, which wasn't what Pablo wanted.

Pablo sighed and put down his camera. "Do you want to take a break?"

"Break?" June asked. "But we just started?"

"Well, I need one. I'm craving a cola," Pablo said. "So, why don't we take five while I drink my refreshing soda."

June shrugged. "Sure."

Pablo sat on his seat and waited for Esther to fetch him a cola. Meanwhile, June sat on the sand and watched the bright sun.

The afternoon was already nearing, so the sun wasn't as harsh as before. Instead, it felt more relaxing, which eased June's mood a bit.

However, his peace was instantly broken when Jisung and Akira sat next to him. They had mischievous looks on their faces, which made June back up a bit.

"What are you planning?" he asked. Just then, the two of them stood up and started chasing June around.

Esther came with a can of cool cola, handing it to Pablo before sitting next to him. She observed his eyes and clicked her tongue. Pablow was currently watching the scene before him with a wide smile.

"You're enjoying this a little too much," Esther said.

"What can I say?" Pablo asked. "That kid," he said, pointing to June. "Is definitely going to be a star someday. I just feel it."

"You say that about every person you've photographed."

"And what happened to them?" Pablo boasted. "They became stars just like I predicted."

Just then, Jisung placed a long piece of seaweed into the back of June's shirt, causing June to shriek in panic (it was a manly shriek, of course).

"What the fuck is that?" he shouted, trying to get it off his body. June loosened his tie and wriggled to get it out of his shirt. However, it clung to him like a second skin, causing him to struggle even harder.

Then, he couldn't control it.

He laughed when the seaweed brushed his abdomen.

Jisung and Akira looked at him in surprise, confused as to why he was suddenly laughing.

Here's another fun fact about June: he was extremely ticklish.

So, he struggled to get it off, all with a smile on his face.

"June, watch out!" Jisung exclaimed.

Amidst his struggle, June tripped on his own feet and fell into the shallow water. The world seemed to freeze as he sat, drenching in the salty water. Half of his white, thin polo was drenched with water, making the lines on his abdomen visible.

Akira and Jisung looked at each other in horror before bolting to help him.

However, Pablo's voice suddenly broke the silence.

"Wait!" he shouted.

"This is genius!"
