From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 853: Company's Company



"Oh, right!" Haruto said as if he just didn't drop the biggest bomb on June. "You mentioned living in that shabby apartment, right?"

"Well, it's not so shabby now. I can't believe it's being developed in a business center in just one year! You should have stayed there," he continued.

"Haruto," June warned. "You need to take this more seriously."

Haruto clicked his tongue. "Right, sorry. Well, he did live in Dongdam-dong, but that's only until 2011. I doubt you would also notice him."

"I know," June muttered, his eyebrows furrowed in concentration.

In 2011, he still wasn't part of any entertainment company.

In 2011, it has been said that Phoenix Entertainment was still starting out.

"It's still amazing how coincidental all of this is," June added.

"I agree," Haruto chimed.

"Well, do you have any other information?" June asked, feeling more intrigued.

The case was getting more and more interesting the more he heard about it.

"What do you think of me?" Haruto asked. "I'm Haruto-of course I know more about it! I milked the shit out of that maid."

"Wait, that doesn't sound good. Anyway, I asked more questions, and it seems like the maid is still in touch with the family."

"Oh," June muttered, his eyebrows raising.

"However, at that point, I could feel that she was being hesitant. She only told me that she was invited to a housewarming party for his son's new home."

"And that is where?"

"UN village," Haruto answered. "Where the rich people live. I wanted to ask more, but she didn't want to share anything anymore. Then, she gave me money and left."

"You didn't get her contact details?" June asked.

Haruto didn't respond for a while, so June took that as a sign that he didn't.

"I still have the money she gave me, if that makes it better. I could track the fingerprints-"

"There's no need," June said, sighing. It was a bit frustrating how they lost their only lead, but at least June was getting somewhere now.

"You've done well," he complimented.

Haruto beamed from the other side of the phone. Being complimented by June was one of the greatest feelings in the entire world!

"Well, I'll be sure to give you more details once I have them," Haruto said.

"Make sure to do that," June responded.

Just then, his door opened, revealing Jisung who was already eating the fried chicken that they've ordered.

They called it a 'palette cleanser' for Casper's chicken nugget.

"Bro," he called. "Jay's going to announce something."

June nodded. "Let's talk soon," he said to Haruto before ending the call.

With that, he followed Jisung back to the dining room. There, he found his members talking casually among themselves.

"Now, this is what you call a chicken nugget," Akira said, taking a bite of what they had ordered.

Casper shook his head. "Do you know how those are made? They're probably filled with GMOS and synthetically-processed extenders. My chicken nuggets are all natural. It even has barley powder because Luther needs to live long."

"I don't need nine lives," Akira said, popping another chicken nugget in his mouth. "I'm happy with my GMOs. Everything is bound to kill you anyway. It's better to die happy than to live miserable!"

Casper shrugged and grabbed the 'synthetic' chicken nugget, too.

"You're right," he agreed.

"Oh, June's here," Jay said, letting go of the chicken leg and standing in front of the table.

"I have an important announcement to make!" Jay exclaimed.

"Do you have to stand?" Akira asked.

"Yes," Jay smiled. "This is a very exciting announcement. However, I'm still upset that we were only informed this morning."

"What is it?" Jaeyong asked amidst his bites.

Jay looked at them with excitement. "Are you guys aware of Ramil PD?"

The boys looked at each other with wide eyes.

"Are you finally going to announce who's going to be joining his variety show?" Jisung asked.

Jay chuckled. "No," he deadpanned. "I'm still clueless about that."

"Oh," they said, their shoulders slumping.

"Why did you ask us about him then?" Sehun asked.

"Well, I'm sure you're already aware of 'Everyday, Everynight,' but I'm sure that all of you also know a lot about his YouWatch channel!"

"Of course," Ren said. "It's like one of the most viewed entertainment channels. Well, he always has fresh ideas, so it clicks well with the viewers."

"Well, do you guys know about one of his ongoing series-Company's Company?"

The boys turned to each other with intrigue, finally realizing what show they were going to participate in.

"Did Lei arrange this?" June asked, also aware of the show.

"Yes," Jay said. "It's scheduled for tomorrow since it's the only free time that he found in our

schedule."

"That soon?" Jisung exclaimed.

"Yes," Jay sighed. "That's why I still feel pretty upset. This wouldn't happen if I was the one who scheduled it. However, it's final."

"This is still a great opportunity, though. ESPER Entertainment's episode was a hit when itn/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

was uploaded during the start of the year," Casper noted.

"Yes, it was really fun," Jisung smiled. "Uno's quite funny."

Company's Company.

It was yet another masterpiece of Ramil PD.

Aside from being a successful variety show producer, he also had a popular YouWatch channel. It featured various artists, ranging from idols, actors, and models to comedians,

doing random challenges.

Company's Company was something that started with Phoenix Entertainment.

It was a show that allowed the artists in a certain company to show their bond as labelmates

as well as their competitive side.

Last time, it was ESPER entertainment.

TopStar and Harmony also had their respective episodes.

Now, it was Azure's turn.

It was quite ironic. Azure was a company that one wouldn't expect to be in the show because they didn't have many artists. However, with EVE and LUNAIRE under their name, it became

possible.

It was also a testament that Azure was making a name for themselves in the idol industry.

"I have one question, though!" Casper said, raising his hand.

The boys turned to him with curious expressions.

"Is Joonie going to be there?"
