From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

”EVE proves their selling power! Tickets sold out in 1.4 seconds!”

“Is EVE now the biggest boy group in South Korea? From taking over the charts to dominating venues!”

“EVE’s sensation had surpassed the Korean market. Videos of people from foreign lands become viral as they attempt to grab tickets for the group’s first mini-concert.”

“Azure’s mismanagement of EVE? Do they really think that EVE doesn’t deserve a bigger venue?”

– It’s crazy. Almost everyone is talking about EVE these days.

– Yes! Yet their management is so lazy. They should have brought out more content this time around.

-I agree. However, I think the boys also need to rest. I believe the company should still invest more in its marketing in order to sustain this popularity.

-They aren’t doing anything about EVE’s haters, too. They said they would take legal action against their haters, but they haven’t done shit.

– What do we expect from shitty Azure?

– Honestly, EVE is just lazy. They could be bigger than they are now if they put out more content. June is the laziest of them all. How could he take a break while his career is at its peak? We shouldn’t give them a platform like this.

– ^Exhibit A.

– EVE works so hard, though. The problem is their company’s management. I think they should learn how to prioritize each member so there would be a balance in their schedules. Moreover, their previous comebacks had always been rushed. Nonetheless, all of them are quality tracks because they are made by EVE.

“Guys, we’ve sold out the concert in 1.4 seconds,” Jaeyong said, still in disbelief after reading the articles.

He also saw a lot of hate circulating online, but he decided not to bring it up because he didn’t want to ruin the mood.

After EVE became more well-known, it was inevitable that they would have more haters, too.

At some point, the boys had gotten used to them. However, it also didn’t mean that it wasn’t disheartening to read such comments.

“How?” Akira loudly exclaimed, standing from the ground.

“That’s not even a full breath! 1.4 seconds is barely an inhale!”

“I know, right?” Jaeyong exclaimed. “I can’t believe it.”

Zeth smirked as he looked at a trending article. “It says here that over 250,000 people attempted to get tickets. Are we really that big now?”

“I bet more than half of that is June’s fans,” Sehun chuckled.

“Yeah,” Ren said, looking down at his lap.

“It would be nice to celebrate this milestone with June,” he muttered.

Meanwhile, June, who had taken out the extra food from Haruto’s restaurant, heard their conversation and finally decided to open the door.

As the door opened, the boys all turned to EVE with wide eyes.

“June?” Jisung happily exclaimed, running over to where he was.

“You’re here?”

“I didn’t want to completely miss out on practice,” June said, a small smile appearing on his lips when he saw how happy his teammates were to see him.

“But you’re on a break,” Jaeyong said. “Shouldn’t you be resting?”

“It’s fine,” June shrugged. “I can still practice with you, guys. It wouldn’t be too tedious.”

“Here,” he said, giving them the paper bags of food. “You guys should take a break. You’ve been practicing since morning, right?”

Akira was already chewing on a piece of bread before June could even finish his sentence.

“Actually, we have decided to call it a night,” Jaeyong said, also grabbing some of the food before his members completely devoured it like piranhas. Saʀᴄh the Nvl(F)ire.nt website on Ggl to access chapters of nvels early and in the highest quality.

“However, seeing that so many people have been fighting over our tickets motivated us to practice even more,” he continued.

Akira lifted his head and looked at their leader with wide eyes.

Ren slapped the back of his head. “Yeah, we’re practicing our intro once again after this. Maybe you would like to join us, June.”

June shrugged and sat alongside them.

“Sure,” he said, knowing that his teammates were working hard to give astras their best performance.

With that, they ate happily, feeling the weight of their popularity against their shoulders.

“Guys,” Jisung suddenly said. “Should we do a live? It’s been a while since our fans saw all of us together.”

Jaeyong pursed his lips. “Shouldn’t we inform the company before we have a live?”

Akira groaned, his mouth filled with food. “Why is it that they have to know our every move? It’s not like we’re going to strip or defame someone in the live. We’ll just speak with our fans!”

“Yeah, I miss talking to them too,” Zeth said. “Come on, Jaeyong. Let’s do a live! It’s just going to be a quick one.”

Jaeyong bit his lip and weighed out the consequences.

June looked at their leader and shook his head.

It was times like this that June was thankful that he didn’t end up being their leader.

He could only imagine the amount of stress that Jaeyong had to be in. He has to maintain a neutral standpoint while trying to please both the members and the company.

It was a very hard role to fulfill, so June admired him even more because of it.

“Jaeyong, please,” Jisung said with big, puppy eyes.

Sehun nudged his shoulder. “It’ll only be for a few minutes. We’re going to practice again afterward.”

Jaeyong clicked his tongue before finally speaking.

“Are you guys going to behave?” he asked.

“Of course!” Jisung sweetly said, already feeling excited.

“Behave is my middle name,” Zeth smirked.

“I was always the most well-behaved in class,” Ren boasted.

“Shut up, you weren’t,” Akira said. “Don’t worry about me! I’ve always been behaved.”

Jaeyong raked his fingers through his hair. “Alright,” he sighed, not thinking about the consequences this time around.

It was a happy moment, so he also wanted to share their milestone with the fans.

“Yay!” Jisung exclaimed, not even having to be told twice before he turned on the live.

“Hey, guys!” he said to the camera.

The members of EVE positioned themselves within the frame, squeezing themselves together to be able to be seen.

“Oww! Someone’s stepping on my little toe!” Casper said.

“My head is being squished!” Ren exclaimed.

“Oh no!” Akira dramatically said. “Now, your small brain is going to become even smaller.”

Ren began to wrestle Akira, making their current position to become a mess.

“Guys, stop fighting!” Sehun said, trying to control the situation.

“Ouch! Someone kicked my balls,” Zeth said, holding onto his precious jewels.

June watched them calmly, already used to the chaos after living with them for months.

Meanwhile, Jaeyong felt like his gray hair was starting to grow.

“Oh gosh,” he muttered.

“I regret agreeing to this already.”
