From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

"Is June alright?"

"Did he get injured again?"

"I told you! You should have brought him to the hospital."

"Yeah! He wakes up later these days, and that's strange!"

"Should we go there? Is it the same hospital?"

"Casper, stop getting ready! Let's wait for what Jay would say."

Jay sighed as he listened to their nonstop chatter.

"He's fine...I think," Jay muttered. "He seems better than before after sleeping and getting rehydrated."

A collective sigh was heard through the phone.

"Are you coming home soon?" Jisung asked.

"I don't know, too," Jay honestly responded. "We're still waiting for Dr. Oh's recommendation. However, I've moved his schedule tonight for tomorrow, so we also can't stay here for long."

Casper clicked his tongue.

"He should get enough rest. He hasn't been getting any rest for the past month," he said.

"I know," Jay sighed. "We'll see what the doctor says. For now, I have to go back to the room. You know June—he has a hot ass."

"Damn right, he does!" Akira spicily exclaimed.

Jay hummed. "Yeah, he can't sit still. He always has to move around and look for trouble."

Akira chuckled. "We weren't talking about the same thing, but I guess that works too."

"What?"

Before Jay could clarify what Akira had said, the call had already ended.

Jay shook his head as he placed his phone inside his pocket.

Then, he walked back to June's room.

However, he halted his tracks when he noticed that the door was open.

He felt his heart stop, and his mind went haywire with a thousand imaginations.

What if he went out on his own for an adventure?

What if he realized that he was sick of the idol life and jumped out the window so he could finally start anew?

What if someone broke in and murdered him?

Jay shook his head to get rid of such thoughts and ran inside the room.

As he went inside, his heart raced faster when he saw that his bed was empty. Moreover, his IV was still hooked on the pole, whereas June was nowhere in sight.

His mind went to the scenarios he imagined earlier.

Then, the door opened behind him, and he hoped for it to be June.

However, it was actually Dr. Oh, making Jay feel even more distressed than he already was.

Dr. Oh frowned when he saw the empty bed and the detached IV. "Where's June?"

"I don't know!" Jay exclaimed. "I went out for a moment so I could talk to the other members of EVE, and when I came back, he wasn't here anymore!"

Dr. Oh's frown deepened while Jay continued panicking.

Fortunately, before Jay could go into a severe panic state, the door opened once more, revealing June with a wide smile on his face.

Jay exclaimed as soon as he saw him.

"What the heck? Where have you been?"

June was surprised at his outburst.

"I just went to visit Grandma," he nonchalantly said.

"You removed your IV! I thought you were murdered—or worse, ran away!" Jay exclaimed.

June scratched the back of his head. "Being murdered sounds worse than running away, in my opinion."

Jay shook his head. "Well, are you alright, at least? Way to make me worried. I feel like I'm aging at a rapid pace because of you."

"I'm fine," June said. "I don't even need an IV."

Jay turned to Dr. Oh for some help, but the doctor merely shook his head.

He was aware of June's resistant health and lizard-like wound healing, so he let him be.

"Sit down, June," Dr. Oh said.

June followed Dr. Oh's instructions and waited for his medical advice.

"Well, based on your physical exam from my resident, it seems like you were dehydrated. I'm assuming you're not getting enough sleep, too. Moreover, you seem to be running a cold and a low-grade fever."

June nodded, already aware of it. After arguing with Mei in the rain, he immediately felt awful.

"So, I'm assuming you're going to give me some medicine?" June asked.

"Well, yes," Dro. Oh said. "However, I want to take this time to gather more specimen from you."

"You do remember our deal, right?" Dr. Oh giddily asked.

Jay looked at the two of them with wide eyes. "Deal? What deal? Am I aware of this deal?"

June sighed before shaking his head. "Don't worry about it."

"Of course, I should worry about it! Are you guys sharing needles now? And what is this specimen I'm hearing about?"

June clicked his tongue and turned to Dr. Oh. "Ignore him. Let's do it while I'm here."

Dr. Oh smiled, the corners of his lips almost ripping with how happy he was.

"Great!" he exclaimed.

"I'll have my best medical technologists collect your specimens."

"It will only take a little bit of time, but the analysis itself would take about a week or more than that to finish. We would get a comprehensive panel that is only available in Germany, and it will also show any of your underlying conditions!"

Jay listened intently to their conversation before nodding in agreement. He actually thought it was a good idea!

"I guess that's good," June said

"Yeah," Dr. Oh smiled. "I will call you once the results come back so we can discuss it."

"I'm busy," June said.

Dr. Oh chuckled. "Make time for me. I can meet with you even if its late in the evening."

June shrugged. "That's fine with me, I guess."

"Alright. I've already paged my medical technologists. You can wait for them here."

"Then, can I go home after this one?" June asked.

Dr. Oh nodded. "Yes, you can. You can grab the prescription from the nurse's station and you can leave. I'll take care of the bill."

Jay gave him two thumbs up. "You're the best, Dr. Oh!"

"I know I am!" Dr. Oh said.

"Oh, another thing," Dr. Oh continued. "I nearly forgot to tell you."

"I'm allowing you to leave the hospital because you have a non-

urgent case, and your illness could be managed at home."

"However, I'm still recommending you to rest at home."

"You have lost weight compared to the last time you visited. Your body is also showing signs of exhaustion. The body doesn't lie—you should rest."

"Yeah—rest," June said. "I'll be sure to sleep as soon as I get home."

'I'm not talking about just that," Dr. Oh said.

"My medical advice is to rest."

"For a day?" Jay asked. "I guess I can work with that. It'll be tough, but I can do it for June!"

However, Dr. Oh remained serious.

"Not a day," he said.

"An entire week!"
