From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 811: VPN



The boys made their way to their hotel transport. As they walked through the airport, the boys glanced around, still apprehensive about the lack of crazy fans.

Some people looked toward their way, but it was mostly attributed to their good looks and the huge bodyguards by their side.

Jaeyong cleared his throat and patted one of the bodyguards on the shoulder.

"Can you guys take a step back?" he shyly asked.

The guard kept his gaze on the perimeter.

"No, sir," he said. "It's our duty to protect you."

Jaeyong looked at the ground as more people glanced toward their way. "I wish they would have protected us like this back in Korea," he muttered.

"Some are taking pictures of us!" Jisung whisper-shouted excitedly.

June turned to the people taking photos of them and shook his head.

"They're not fans," he said, making the others slump in defeat.

"There's the transport," one of the guards said. The boys, despite feeling disappointed, entered their car and settled inside.

Akira tried to open his Navel app, but it couldn't be opened.

"What's this?" he muttered. "Why can't I go through Navel right now?"

Casper shook his head. "June told you to research about the country before our flight, right? Other apps don't work here. You need a VPN."

With that, he showed the opened Navel app on his phone.

"Ah, right," Akira exclaimed. "I forgot! I'll download one on my phone later."

"Can I look through your Navel?" Akira asked, his hands clamped together.

Jaeyong shook his head in amusement. "I swear-you're addicted to your phone these days."

"That's because he likes scrolling through articles about him," Zeth said.

Ren gave him a disgusted expression. "Don't tell me that you've influenced him."

Zeth raised his hands in surrender with a proud smile playing on his lips. "It was all him. You can't influence someone who doesn't want to be influenced."

Ren sighed and shook his head. "Oh, you guys are the source of my nightmares."

Meanwhile, Akira tuned out their conversation and started scrolling through Casper's Navel account. He was hoping to see some articles praising him for his airport look, but it seemed impossible to find on Casper's account.

"What the heck is this?" Akira exclaimed. "Why is June's face the only one I'm seeing as I scroll?"

Jisung smiled. "Casper follows June's topics."

"And you don't follow ours?" Akira asked.

Casper shook his head. "Nope," he proudly said.

Akira's frown deepened.

"See! They're all about June," he ranted. "You're obsessed, dude."

Casper, too, frowned. "There should be some cat pics there somewhere...and some of my photos, too. I don't just follow June's topic."

"He must be trending or something," Jaeyong suggested.

Akira's eyes widened in realization. "Ah, you're right. He is trending."

"Ooh, for what reason this time?" Jisung excitedly asked.

"For being a fashion terrorist," Akira nonchalantly answered.

However, the other members looked at each other in horror.

"Let me see that," Jaeyong said, looking at the posts about June.

"June's handsome face saves the day," he muttered as he read one of the titles. "But, his outfit is something that can't be saved."

"Uncle Core? June receives criticism for lack of self-management," he continued.

"Self-management?" Jisung asked. "What does that have to do with this?"

Then, they turned to June, who was freely scrolling on his phone with a wide smile.

He had logged into his previous Weibee account, which was a platform similar to Navel but based in China.

"Why are you so calm again?" Ren asked. "You're trending for a bad reason this time."

June finally stopped scrolling through his phone and looked at his members' worried faces.

"What?" June asked.

Zeth chuckled. "He's not even listening."

"Oh, I was," June said. "I just don't think it's a big deal now. I wear that outfit all of the

time."

Jisung scratched the back of his head. "I guess," he muttered. "But they're asking you to apologize."

"For what?" June chuckled. "It's comfortable. I don't see myself apologizing for wanting to be comfortable."

His members became silent after he said those words.

"Well, that makes sense," Sehun muttered.

Ren sighed. "I aspire to have the same level of nonchalance as June in my next life."

"Instead," June said, turning his phone to his members. "This post is getting pretty popular in Weibee. It's only been a few minutes since we got out of the airport, but it already has a thousand interactions."

The boys narrowed their eyes at the photo. The caption and the comments were all in Chinese, so they couldn't really read it.

"Oh, that's us," Akira excitedly said. "I told you that some of our fans took pictures at the

airport."

"They're not fans," June chuckled. "They're saying some pretty mean stuff right now."

The boys turned to each other with wide eyes.

"What are they saying?" Jaeyong asked, concern heard in his voice.

June turned his phone toward him and read the caption and comments.

"Who are these people? They have big guards, but no one even approaches them. So

embarrassing."

"They're handsome, but we don't know them."

"That's embarrassing. Who do they think they are?"

"I think they're K-Pop stars?"

"Well, nobody cares about them here."

"Guys, I just searched them up. They're EVE a popular K-Pop group."

"Popular where?"

"You can't even see their faces with their masks."

"And that one guy looks homeless."

The boys felt like their self-esteem was being annihilated as June continued reading the

comments.

"Well," Akira said, the light leaving his eyes. "We're not doing good in two countries right

now."

June chuckled as he scrolled through more comments.

"Don't mind these posts," he said. "They're not official articles or anything, so it would die

down pretty quickly."

Jisung sighed in relief. However, he narrowed his eyes in suspicion when he realized

something.

"Why do you have a Weibee app on your phone?" he asked.

June froze while the other boys looked at him with suspicion.

"I used that thing-VPN," June said as an excuse.

However, the boys still weren't convinced.

"June can even download a VPN now?" Jisung asked.

"He didn't even know how the app store worked the other day," he continued.

"Yeah," Jaeyong nodded. "He asked me to accompany him to the app store."

The boys all turned silent.

"I don't even know anymore," Akira muttered.
