From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show-Novel

Chapter 447 WhimsiLust

?[WhimsiLust Potion: 1]

[The WhimsiLust Potion is a potent love potion that guarantees a day of heart-eyed enchantment! Just one minute of intense eye contact, and watch as the sparks fly. It can be used for multiple people in one day! Warning: use with caution as it may cause a flock of admirers.]

In all honestly, June didn't want to use this potion since he felt like it was somehow illegal.

However, he was in a desperate situation. Their team had a meeting later in the afternoon, so he didn't have any time to spare.

'Are the effects temporary?' June asked Fu.

[Effects from the WhimsiLust Potion are temporary.]

'How long will it last?'

[Effects will end at the same time the potion expires. Remember to use wisely.]

June sighed in relief when he discovered it only had temporary effects. As much as he found Arin annoying, he also didn't want to subject her to permanent lovesickness since he knew he wouldn't be able to reciprocate her feelings.

"Arin, look into my eyes," June said without hesitation.

Arin felt like her heart exploded, and she quickly felt a nosebleed coming. Her eyes almost bulged out of her head as she moved away from June.

However, June acted fast and held onto both of her wrists, holding her tightly but making sure he wasn't hurting her.

"What are you doing?" Arin exclaimed, unable to look into his eyes.

June anchored his feet on the ground and continued holding onto Arin's wrist.

"Seriously, what is your problem?" Arin asked, her cheeks red like a basketball.

In her mind she thought— Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NovelEnglish.net

'He was also hesitant to make eye contact just a while ago, yet why was he so proactive now?'

"We need to break down the barrier between us," he said, determined. "So, look into my eyes for one whole minute."

"How will that even help?" Arin asked. It would officially kill her if that happened!

"Just, just trust me," June exasperatedly said, watching the crew members from afar already setting things up again. From his view, he could also see Director Nana looking around the set—probably for the two of them.

"June, I can't," Arin said, still trying to move away from him. "I physically can't look into your eyes."

"You need to," June said. "I'll continue to pester you for the rest of the filming if we don't do this. You know we wouldn't be able to film the scene if it continues like this."

Arin bit her lip, already dreading being pestered by June. The man wasn't good for her heart! She has been trying to mask the feelings that had surfaced in the span of days—DAYS!

It was ridiculous how she fell for him in just a short amount of time.

"After this, don't pester me anymore, okay?" Arin asked, finally resigning to her fate.

June's hold on her wrists loosened, and he let out a small smile.

"Promise," June said.

Arin pursed her lips as he spoke to her.

"Close your eyes for a moment," he said, his voice nearly a whisper.

Arin followed without any complaints. With her eyes closed, she could hear the sound of his breathing better.

"Now, open them," June said.

For a moment, Arin hesitated. However, wanting to get it over with, she finally opened her eyes and locked gazes with him.

Arin felt breathless as she looked into his soft brown eyes. From a distance, they looked like standard brown eyes. However, it was still a lighter brown than most people of Asian descent, so they looked very special.

Looking into his eyes like this made them even more beautiful.

The sun was shining down on his irises, making them look like honey-filled pools. His eyelashes were incredibly long, and they were lightly curled, only on the edges, adding depth to his gaze. It was astounding how his bottom lashes were also long, softening his intense gaze and making him look like an obedient puppy.

They were the type of eyes that were incredibly difficult to draw.

If June could hear Arin's thoughts now, then he'd be able to realize her feelings for him.

Arin hoped that he, too, was brewing descriptions of her eyes in his mind.

However, June's thoughts only resonated with a countdown.

30...

29...

28...

As he looked into Arin's eyes, he saw nothing but two black dots. They were similar to targets he had to hit when his gang wanted to use their guns for fun.

16...

15...

14...

Only a few seconds more, and they could finally build their connection for the scene.

June extended the time for a couple of seconds to ensure the effects of the potion.

When it was a little over a minute, he finally stepped away, breaking eye contact with Arin.

[WhimsiLust effect: 1]

[Time of eye contact: 60 seconds]

[Remaining duration for effectivity: 24 hours]

June held out his hand for Arin, and like a hypnotized person, she reached out and held onto his warm hand.

"Let's go?" June asked.

Arin wordlessly nodded and let herself be gently taken away by the handsome individual.

She didn't know what happened in those 60 seconds, but it felt like her feelings were cemented after it was over.

Everything became clear, and the skies seemed brighter, too. The chirping of the birds sounded sweet, and the scent of the air seemed fresh and clean.

If this was the feeling of being in love, then Arin didn't want to escape.

The two finally arrived at the set, and Director Nana sighed in relief when she finally saw them.

"There you are!" she exclaimed. "Where have you guys been?"

June smiled apologetically. "Sorry, Director. Arin and I just had a talk on how to act out the scene. We realized we still had some barriers between us, so we took a few moments to step over those boundaries."

Director Nana nodded in understanding. "That's alright, then—

as long as the two of you are safe."

"Since the two of you have talked, I'm assuming you're ready to film the scene then."

June nodded, looking down at their hands.

Director Nana, too, looked down and saw June holding onto Arin's hand. A proud smile emerged from her lips.

They were such professional actors!

"I'm expecting a lot then," she said.

June nodded while Arin was still in a daze.

"Get to your positions, everyone! Let's film the last scene for today."
