From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show-Chapter 921: Disheveled Hair

I did not do it.

Those were the words that June wanted to say. However, before he could utter them, the app redirected him to his home screen.

Minjun, who was right behind the camera, looked at him with wide eyes. He silently gestured for June to continue, but June just pointed at the phone.

"Idiot!" Minjun whispered. "Say you didn't do it!"

June clicked his tongue. "It's gone," he said.

Minjun frowned and carefully peeked at the phone, making sure that the live wasn't ongoing anymore.

When he saw that June was telling the truth, a frown graced his face.

He went to Navel on his phone and searched for June's name.

"It's...gone," Minjun said. "Your account is gone."

June sighed and leaned against the shelf behind him. "Not that surprising," he muttered. "Honestly, it's more surprising that they didn't take out the live sooner."

"Yeah, stupid company," Minjun muttered.

"That was really good, by the way," he added. "I definitely felt your sincerity. I even almost teared up in the end! If you were able to finish your statement, then it would have been perfect. Although, the last part gave me chills. You look like you wanted to kill someone."

June softly chuckled. "Are you rating my explanation video?"

Minjun smiled. "Well, I think it would be well-received-or at least, it would tame the fire for now. However, some people would still twist your words. Moreover, your company might censor you even more from now on."

June nodded, already expecting it.

"So, do you want to use my page to get your message across?" Minjun asked.

June placed his hand under his chin before shaking his head.

"No, that's not good," June said. "You've worked hard for it to grow into what it is today. It might get taken down."

Minjun shrugged. "I don't care."

June chuckled and stood, wrapping one arm around Minjun's shoulder and rubbing his head.

"Since when were you so mature?" he joked.

Minjun clicked his tongue and pushed him away. "I've always been mature."

June merely smiled and sighed in relief.

"Well, that's done," Minjun said. "Want to go downstairs? I bet the food's done by now." June nodded. "Let's go."

The members of EVE continued to stare at the television. The live stream was long gone, and they were now gazing at Jaeyong's home screen-which was their very first picture together. Jay sighed and massaged his temples.

"June," he muttered. "I told Haruto to look over him."

Jisung sniffed and wiped the tears from his eyes. "He always thinks about us-even when he's the one hurting."

"What are we going to do without him?" Jaeyong muttered.

The members turned silent, not knowing the answer to his question.

"He looks better than I thought," Akira chimed. "I think he's taking this much better than we are."

"He doesn't look guilty," Jay said. "It's because he didn't do it."

The members nodded, fully believing in their center.

"How are the people reacting to this?" Ren asked.

Jay went to his Navel account and saw that June's topic had gained more than three million posts since the previous day.

He looked through the people's opinions and nodded.

"It's mixed," Jay said. "There are a lot who still support him, but there is also a good portion that wants him arrested."

Jaeyong sighed and massaged the bridge of his nose. "It's going to take a lot more to clear his name. It just sucks that the company isn't even helping him."

"They dropped him like a hot potato. I even thought Lei was a good person," Jaeyong muttered.

"Didn't we all?" Jisung asked. "However, they failed to protect June-when he's one of the people who made Azure what it is today."

Jay pursed his lips since he already knew of Lei's true nature.

"Speaking of Lei," he said. "We have a meeting with him today. I need you guys to behave, alright? You can state your opinions, but do not make a scene."

Casper opened his mouth, but Jay quickly stopped him.

"Especially you, Casper," he warned. "We don't want Lei targeting you too. That's the last thing June would want."

Casper pursed his lips after Jay used the 'June' card on him.

"Let's go," Jaeyong said, not wanting to prolong their meeting further.

They went down to the parking lot and drove to Azure's building. As they entered, most workers looked toward their way-some with disgust while most with pity.

The members of EVE hated it. They looked at them like June really did something wrong.

They finally arrived at Lei's office and frowned when they saw he wasn't there yet. Instead, there was none other than Dan, who was sitting in the CEO's seat.

Their expressions instantly hardened since they remembered what Dan did to June.

Jay led the members to sit on the couch before crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"What are you doing here?" Jay asked.

Dan quickly stood from the prestigious seat and sheepishly raised his hands.

"You caught me," he said. "I'm just testing to see how comfortable it is."

Jay clicked his tongue. "Where's Sir Lei?" he asked.

"Well, you don't sound happy," Dan chuckled.

Jay and the members remained unamused, so Dan cleared his throat.

"He's coming," he said, straightening his back as he walked away from Lei's table.

"He's a bit late since he forgot about this. He has a prior engagement, but he's already in the

parking lot."

Casper clicked his tongue. "He's wasting our time," he muttered.

Jaeyong nudged his shoulder, to which Casper merely responded with an eye roll.

Finally, after a few minutes, the door opened, revealing Lei with swollen lips and disheveled hair. Jay grimaced as he appeared with a smile-as if the company's biggest boy group wasn't

in shambles.

"Oh, there you guys are," he said in his signature kind voice. However, the members weren't

amused-not even the least.

"What did I miss?" he asked.

"Nothing," Dan said. "We were waiting for you, sir."

"Right," Lei chuckled, sitting on his chair. "Wait, why does this feel warm?" he muttered

before shaking his head.

"Anyway, thanks for coming," he said.

"I called all of you here to discuss June's departure from EVE and the person who would

replace him."
