Chapter 513: Center of Attention
From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show
"What are we doing again?" Bora asked as they stood outside of the school's gymnasium.
"Being good fans," Jia said, glancing at her phone.
KittyJune: Jay and the police are on their way.
"Are we forgetting that Kim Sua is on the loose? The school advised us not to loiter around too much since she might still be here. Don't forget that she lived in the same dorm building as us," Bora pointed out.
"That's why my best friend who has a triple black belt in jiu-jitsu is with me, am I right?"
"I was in eighth grade!" Bora exasperatedly said. "And it wasn't a triple black belt. My mom just bought two more black belts in case I lost one."
Jia shrugged. "It's still a black belt. You're much better than me."
Bora sighed and shook her head. "Sometimes, I wonder if my life would have been more peaceful if we didn't get to be friends," she jokingly said.
Jia clicked her tongue and nudged Bora's shoulder.
"Shut up. You would have been miserable without me," Jia smiled.
Bora rolled her eyes as she leaned against a tree.
"Fine. Fine. I guess I'll boost your ego for now. But…what are we really going to do?"
Jia looked around the area to see if there was anyone coming and smiled when she saw a bunch of students wandering around the area.
"Bingo," Jia said.
"We're playing Bingo?" Bora asked in confusion.
"No," Jia deadpanned. "I'm arranging an exclusive fanmeeting with June right now."
Bora stopped for a moment before narrowing her eyes in suspicion.
"I know that he knows you, but you know this is a reach, right?"
"I'm not lying!" Jia exclaimed. "June really came to me for help. Right now, the police can't find Sua. They did find her room, and there were other evidence that showed she had been following June for a while now; however, she fled right after that article was posted."
"And the solution to that is to arrange a fanmeeting in the school?" Bora asked, finding the situation ridiculous.
"Yes," Jia excitedly chimed. "June asked me to help lure Kim Sua, and that's exactly what I'm doing."
A small frown graced Bora's forehead, so Jia continued explaining.
"Kim Sua is definitely afraid of getting caught," Jia started off.
"However, I could tell that she wasn't guilty. I heard firsthand what she thinks about June, and I believe she's doing all of this out of her own volition."
"She won't stop just because she's on the verge of getting caught," she continued.
"So, I set up this trap of some sort."
Bora raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Because where June goes, Kim Sua goes," Jia concluded.
She sighed and looked off into the distance, feeling proud of herself. She could still remember her conversation with June on the day they parted. At that moment, they seemed like good friends who had known each other for quite some time.
Despite Jia's giddiness, there wasn't any awkwardness between the two of them—just pure bliss.
She also had to admit that they were a pretty good team.
June came up with the idea of luring Kim Sua out once the article had been posted—and that was to make fans believe that he was going to have a mini fanmeeting at Y university.
He even posted a cryptic message on Navel this morning!
It was definitely hard to believe, especially with the stalker issue coming out. However, fans didn't know any better. They would hold onto that little hope and go to great lengths just to meet their favorite idols.
So, this was how Jia found herself in the middle of the campus, surrounded by fangirls and fanboys who were waiting for June to arrive.
"He's not going to come, is he?" Bora asked after Jia's explanation.
"Nope," Jia excitedly shook her head. "That would be too dangerous for him."
Bora clicked her tongue. "You're saying that while you're out here trying to lure in a stalker."
"Don't worry," Jia said. "What you're thinking of is not going to happen."
Jia waited for a couple more moments before she finally saw a familiar silhouette.
"Caught you," Jia whispered as she continued staring at the girl. She had shorter hair, almost up to the lobes of her ears. However, Jia could still recognize the creepy woman from a mile away. What she did in her room definitely left a mark on Jia's heart.
Jia: She's here.
KittyJune: Got it.
"Is June really going to come? I have a hard time believing that when his stalker had just been discovered in our school," a fan said.
"What's there to lose?" another chimed. "We don't have any class anyway!"
"Yeah! Besides, June posted something this morning. See you soon in Y? What else could it mean aside from him coming here?"
Jia smirked in satisfaction as more and more people were convinced of the mini fanmeeting.
Kim Sua approached closer, bringing her cap down so she could hide her identity.
However, it was too late.
Jay, who had just arrived after June texted him a certain location, saw the crowd and recognized the girl even from far away. He alerted the officers he was with, and they quickly moved to where she was.
Without any warning, they cuffed her, causing Sua's eyes to widen in shock.
Her cap fell off, exposing her face to the crowd that had formed.
Screams of surprise were heard as they all stepped away. However, they brought out their phones to record what was happening. Some of them couldn't wait to post it on the internet for the world to see!
Sua tried to retaliate from the officers, but it was no use.
Jia smiled in satisfaction. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and enjoyed the scene before her.
Bora observed Jia and shook her head.
"You're quite cunning, aren't you?"
Jia shrugged, appearing unfazed.
"She deserves it," she said with a smile.
However, her smile dropped when her eyes locked with Sua's.
For a moment, the crazy girl just stared at her. Then, a hint of recognition was seen in Sua's eyes.
Then, while the officers were dragging her away, she pointed in Jia's direction.
"You!" she screamed, causing the others to turn in the direction she was pointing at.
Jia quickly became the center of attention.
"You're the one who stole June away from me!"
