Chapter 893: A Disaster Team

Minjun leaned back against the doorframe, arms crossed and eyes narrowed, as Lena tried to look for the right words.

The room plunged into silence, leaving only the faint hum of the air conditioner in the background. She faced him, trying to compose herself after the embarrassing scene.

"What are you doing here?" Lena asked, her voice sharper than intended.

Minjun cracked one eye open, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. "Is it safe to look now?" he teased.

Lena flushed, the embarrassment still fresh in her mind.

"The guards said you were home. You didn't greet me," Minjun said. "So, I came here to confirm it myself."

"I was tired, son," Lena said, lying through her teeth.

The odds of landing on that channel, of all things... Lena couldn't believe her luck or lack thereof.

"I mean," Minjun continued, clearing his throat. "If you miss Dad, you can just get back together. You have his number."

"Minjun," Lena said in a warning tone. However, Minjun continued teasing his mother, obviously enjoying the occurrence.

"Or you can go to a club. You're rich, Mom. I think a lot of men would-" "Minjun!" she scolded, her voice rising, more out of surprise than anger.

Minjun chuckled, shaking his head. "I'm just messing with you, Mom."

Lena shook her head and massaged her temples. "It was a mistake. It just landed on that channel."

"Sure, Mom," Minjun said, but it was clear that he didn't believe her at all.

Lena's face reddened further. In her entire life, this was probably the most embarrassed she had ever felt. Fortunately, Minjun switched to another topic before she could get die from embarrassment.

"Anyway," he continued. "I didn't come here just to greet you. I came to tell you that some people came by a while back."

"What for?" Lena frowned, trying to focus on the change in subject. "Don't know. Insurance or something," Minjun replied with a shrug.

"Did you go out?" she asked, though she already knew the answer.

"Nope," Minjun said, looking unbothered. "Busy with video games."

Lena sighed, feeling relieved. "You do just that," she said, waving him off.

"Your safety is still the number one priority, alright?"

Minjun nodded and gave her an 'okay' sign.

"Well, you can go now. Your mom's pretty tired," Lena said, wanting to go back to the show quickly.

Minjun just grinned-one that held a lot of meaning.

Lena narrowed her eyes at his son. "It's not what you're thinking about."

Before she could explain herself, Minjun was already waving her off.

"You should really go on a blind date, Mom," Minjun said. "I think it would be good for you."

With that, Minjun left, the door closing behind him.

However, Lena was still focused on his last statement. "A blind date, huh?"

Meanwhile, back to the variety show's challenge...

June stood in front of the other contestants, waiting for his turn to pick a random teammate. Jisung had already been picked by Pablo. June was a little bit disappointed since Jisung was also great at these things. He was one of the more tech-savvy members, so June also wanted him on his team.

With that, June reached through the bowl and hoped for someone like Jisung.

He opened the piece of paper and pursed his lips.

"Casper," he read.

"Wooh!" Casper exclaimed, walking to where June was.

June sighed as Casper excitedly bounced next to him.

He had a knack for photography, but his social media feed was dominated by pictures of his cat. June wasn't convinced that would translate into the kind of video they needed to win this

challenge.

The next name Pablo called out was Mei, and June's sigh deepened.

His sister had always been the expert when it came to things like this. She'd spent hours making edits of her favorite idols.

She was great at those velocity edits, too! It was something June had never comprehended. How can she make people move slowly and then fast in such a short period of time?

June reached into the bowl once more.

"Uno," he said.

Uno pursed his lips to hide his smile as he made his way next to June.

June's gaze landed on Uno, who was known for his title of 'Selfie King.' Maybe that would give them a good advantage.

Maybe.

Pablo picked Joonie next, who flashed a confident smile. They both knew that with Joonie's experience in content creation, their team was stacked with talent.

"You look happy," Ramil PD remarked.

"I edited my own content before," Joonie responded. "I think we'd do a good job."

June pursed his lips. The last choices weren't looking promising, but he had to make do. "Haruki," he called, watching as Haruki's face lit up in excitement.

But June wasn't as thrilled. From what he knew, Haruki wasn't the prodigy his twin brother Haruto was. It seemed like Haruki had talent in the singing, dancing, and rapping department while his brother took the other technical skills.

As the selection process neared its end, June hoped to get Mimi on his team. She seemed like she had a good eye for this kind of thing.

But when Pablo picked Mimi, June felt the weight of his luck once again.

Hana was a very talented actress, but she was known for being an old soul.

Well, June was more of an old soul than her, but of course, he didn't want to admit that.

- June's team is filled with people who are good at everything except for the challenge they need to do.

-Stop, you guys are roasting them too much.

-It's so fun, though!

- June picked the worst team once again.

- Wait, Haruki's not good at these things, too?

- Nope, he's known in our fandom as the clumsy guy who needs help for everything.

- What? But he comes across as competent.

- He is when it comes to work, but he's really just a baby deep inside.

- Uno is the same. He's a great leader, but he lacks humor. He also doesn't get jokes so easily. I can

already imagine the disaster that their video would be.

- Hana stays in front of the screen because she can't be behind it!

- Casper's good, I think, but he's crazy.

- Well, June's not any better.

- Four words: their team is fucked!
