From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 935: Come Back Anytime



The group of three arrived at Haruto's penthouse-all with varying emotions.

Marcus and Haruto kept raving about June's performance, while June looked slightly annoyed.

"You were freaking awesome!" Haruto exclaimed. "I swear, everyone in the audience was captivated by the song. Marcus even teared up, right Marcus?"

Marcus' cheeks reddened as he scratched the back of his neck. "Yeah," he muttered. "I could really feel your sincerity with the song. I know you're having a tough time, so it really resonated well."

"At that moment, I felt like I was one with the audience. Although all of us had different burdens to carry, we became one at that moment. It's really touching. I liked it a lot," the big man said, showing June a thumbs up.

June pursed his lips to hide his smile. However, he failed in the end. Once they got home, he wanted to scold the two for making him sing in front of an audience. However, he realized that he actually liked it.

It hasn't been two days since he was accused of sexual crimes, but he already wanted to perform once again.

"Thanks," he muttered in the end, succumbing to the compliments.

"I'm going on Navel and sharing my fancams on my alter account," Haruto excitedly said, his hands in front of his chest as he squealed like a fangirl.

June turned to him with raised eyebrows. "You have an alter account? For what?"

Haruto pursed his lips, getting caught. Then, he shook his head. "I forgot," he said.

June clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Whatever, you do what you want to do. I'm heading to bed."

June was about to head to his room when Haruto stopped him.

"June," he said, his tone turning serious. June turned around for a second.

"Yeah?" he asked.

Haruto pursed his lips before asking his question. "You're not giving up, are you?"

June smirked before shaking his head. "Of course not," he said. "You said I could rest, but I'm not giving up."

A wide smile graced Haruto's face. "Yeah," he muttered. "Rest well."

June nodded and went to his room. His heart definitely felt lighter than the night before.

He changed into his pajamas and got into bed, about to fall asleep when his phone suddenly rang.

He frowned and looked at his screen, only to find that there were plenty of missed calls from his members.

June shook his head in amusement. With that, he answered his phone. As soon as he did, chaos erupted in EVE's dorm room.

"He responded!" Zeth exclaimed.

"June is here," Sehun smiled.

"June!" Casper said, nearly pushing everyone out of frame.

"Bro," Jisung sniffed. On his shoulder was Jaeyong, who also appeared to have been crying.

Ren smiled, appearing tired. "It's nice to see you, June."

Akira, on the other hand, scolded June right away.

"Why the heck did you answer only now? We've been trying to reach out to you since yesterday!" he exclaimed.

June scratched the back of his neck. "Sorry," he said. "I turned off all my notifications. I was busy today, too."

Akira sighed and shook his head. "Must be nice! We're busy as hell, too. Jisung is now our center, and he literally cries every time we practice."

Jisung sniffed and glared at Akira. "Can you blame me?"

"They even pushed our comeback dates nearer," Jaeyong sighed. "And we're forced to practice with Joonie, who's deadset on changing our concept. That guy knows nothing!"

"I swear, I've never seen Casper so quiet before," Ren chimed.

"But Casper isn't talkative," June pointed out.

"That's the point!" they exclaimed at the same time.

That lead the group to burst into laughter. After it died down, they all turned silent, all looking at June, who had a wide smile on his face.

"I miss this," Jaeyong suddenly said, capturing their attention.

Sehun clicked his tongue. "Now, you're making this sad."

"But it is sad!" Jaeyong said. "We can't even do anything about it. We're just slaves to Azure, and although we've made a lot of money, we have no way of getting out of our contracts without losing everything."

The boys nodded, suddenly feeling dejected.

June sighed and raked his fingers through his hair.

"Don't beat yourselves up for it," June said. "Besides, it's only been two days. How can you guys feel like this already?"

Akira clicked his tongue. "We have no choice. We really want to help you."

June shook his head. "You can help me by doing your best," he said.

Jisung frowned. "So, you want us to continue like this?"

"Yes," June said. "The fans will be disappointed if you don't give your all."

"But, we don't want it. We want to do it with you. They want us to do this album, the promotions, and a whole-ass concert by the end of the year! Do you think that's humane?

Especially with what we're going through right now."

"It's not," June said. "But, it's the nature of the job."

Jisung sighed and nodded. "We'll do our best," he muttered. "But you also have to do your

best to come back, alright?"

June smiled. "Yeah," he said. "I'll do just that."

Jaeyong pursed his lips. "Call us, alright? If you need any help, just call us. And don't be

ashamed of anything. We will wait for you, no matter what."

Ren nodded. "You can even blow up Azure, and we won't be mad."

June burst into chuckles. "Not to that extent," he said.

The boys looked at each other in surprise. "Wait, you have a plan?"

"I better go, guys," June smiled before they could ask any more questions.

"Wait, June!"

June turned off the call, chuckling to himself as he placed the phone on his bed.

"Those guys," he muttered. "I miss them."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

With that, he wrapped his blanket around his body and reached out to turn off the lamp. However, before he could do that, the door burst open, making him curse out loud.

"Why the heck-"

Marcus appeared before him, appearing breathless.

"June!" he exclaimed, cutting him off. "He's here."

June frowned and stood from his bed. "Who?" he asked, his fighting mode activating.

"Dang, this is a pretty good penthouse. Not better than our house, but I won't mind staying

here."

June's frown deepened when he heard a familiar voice getting nearer to his room.

"Is this June's room?"

With that, someone appeared behind Marcus, making the big guy squeak like a mouse. June's

eyes widened since he had never seen Marcus react as such.

"Bro!" he exclaimed.

June couldn't believe his eyes. "What are you doing here, Minjun?"
