From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show
Chapter 388 Angel’s Breath

Chapter 388 Angel's Breath

"I really thought you weren't going to wake up since the bullet missed a major organ by only a tiny bit," Dr. Oh chuckled.

"But, look! You're awake. I was nervous during the operation for no good reason," he added.

June stared at him incredulously before shaking his head.

Why was he brought to this hospital again?

"Bro," he heard Minjun's voice.

June snapped his gaze to the little kid and immediately brightened up.

"Minjun," he said, flinching as he tried to sit up.

"I advise you not to do that," Dr. Oh quickly said. "This is more severe than the stab wound you incurred back then, so you're in complete bed rest for now."

June groaned, ignoring what the doctor said and coaxing Minjun to come closer to him.

The little kid slowly walked toward him, a guilty expression on his face.

"Are you alright?" June asked.

"I'm not the one on a hospital bed with a gunshot wound," Minjun said, causing June to smile.

"Touche," he chuckled, but that itself was already a bit painful.

Dr. Oh and the nurses watched the scene before them, a bit perplexed about how the idol still looked good after being unarousable for days.

"Idols are really different," one of the nurses whispered.

"Yeah," the other agreed. "He looks like he's fresh out of the shower."

"And his breath smells like flowers, too," Dr. Oh chimed. "It's amazing!"

"You do know I hear you, right?" June asked, making them clear their throats.

Dr. Oh smiled, acting like he didn't say something weird.

"Well, I guess we'll leave you to mingle then," Dr. Oh said.

"When can I leave this place?" June asked, already wanting to go back to their dorm.

"You just woke up, and you're already thinking of going back?" Grandma asked in a scolding tone.

"In order to heal your injuries, you need to stay for at least two weeks in the hospital," Dr. Oh said.

"Two weeks?" June asked with wide eyes. "That's a whole comeback!?I can't miss two weeks of work."

"Your company has already agreed," Dr. Oh said. "I have talked with your manager as well, and they decided that you'd sit out of EVE's schedules for the next two weeks."

June groaned, feeling a bit stressed.

He knew he always complained whenever they were too busy, but he had grown to like the loudness of his life as an idol.

"Well, that's settled. For now, you need to stay here so we can change your wound dressings every day. You'll also complete a full course of antibiotics to decrease the chances of complications," Dr. Oh said.

With that, he left the room with the nurses, leaving June alone with Grandma and Minjun.

"Can't I really go back to work?" June asked, looking at Grandma with doe eyes.

Grandma clicked his tongue. "Don't even think about it. You're going to stay hereu ntil you're fully healed."

June sighed heavily.

"But I'll miss so many schedules," June complained.

"And you'll miss a lot more," Grandma said. "Rest your mind a bit. For now, I'll send Minjun back to school. He has already missed a lot of days since he didn't want to leave you."

"But Grandma," Minjun whined. "I don't want to go back yet."

"We'll come back later after your classes," Grandma said. "You can't miss another day of school."

"But it's just one more day," Minjun complained.

June smiled, ruffling Minjun's hair with his good arm.

"Yeah, Grandma. I think missing a day of school is alright."

"A day?" Grandma asked.

"What are you talking about? He already missed school for four days!"

"Four days?!"

June continued to stare at the white wall, his mind flying off into the abyss as he tried to internalize what had happened the last couple of days.

His thoughts were interrupted, however, when his phone rang.

June quickly answered the incoming video call from Jay.

June was greeted by a messy dorm, with the members fighting for the camera's frame.

"He answered. Oh my gosh! He's really alive," Akira exclaimed.

"Oh my gosh. He's gotten thinner. Have you been eating well?" Jisung asked.

"We thought we lost you! They said you lost a lot of blood," Zeth said.

"Wait, guys. Let me place this on the stand," Jay said, pushing the guys away.

Jay perched the phone on the stand, making all of the guys visible in one frame.

"Are you guys done now?" June asked.

"Yeah," Jay smiled, then he started to bawl.

"June! We missed you," he sobbed and wriggled on the floor like a fish out of water.

June smirked, looking at his precious members. He didn't want to say it out loud, but he missed them too.

Then, as he counted the members, he found that one of them was missing.

"Where's Casper?" June asked.

Just then, clanging sounds were heard in the background, causing June to frown in confusion.

After a few seconds, Casper emerged on the screen, his hair and beard unkempt.

"Why does he look like the one who got into a coma?" June asked.

"He stayed in his room the entire time after the accident," Zeth said.

"He didn't even take a shower or go out to eat proper meals," Ren added.

"I think all he's had for the past four days is the pink cheese balls they sent us," Akira chuckled.

"Why?" June asked.

Casper didn't answer and munched on some food while staring guiltily at the screen.

"He thinks it's his fault for not being able to protect you," Sehun said.

June chuckled in amusement.

"You didn't do anything wrong, though. Those guys are at fault."

Casper continued to munch on the take-out food like a little hamster, his cheeks filled to the brim.

Then, the guilty look in his eyes started to subside.

"Speaking of," June said, "Where are those guys now?"

"Oh, they got arrested," Jay said. "They were actually wanted for quite a while now for distributing illegal drugs. The police commended us for catching them in the act!"

"And the public took this well?" June asked.

"Very well!" Jay smiled. "Most are praising us for standing up to a bullied kid and catching real criminals!"

June smirked.

It seemed like everything turned out well in the end.

"It's also the reason why we can't visit you today or in the upcoming days," Jaeyong said.

"Why not?" June frowned.

"We're going to be shooting a campaign against anti-drugs," Ren exclaimed happily.

"Oh, and our performance of First Love went viral, so they're asking us to perform it in another school festival!" Sehun added.

"And we also have some content to film with 'Cheeze.' They say we'll play games and stuff," Jisung excitedly chimed.

June's face dropped with every statement.

"You're doing all of this without me?" June exclaimed.

"There's nothing we can do!" Jay defended. "These deals just came to us after the incident."

June sighed, massaging the bridge of his nose.

Why was his luck so bad?
