From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

- Oh goodness. It's already chaotic.

- Aww, I missed them. I missed my family.

- How long has it been since we've seen them altogether in a casual setting like this?

- It's been a while. I miss EVE's lives :(

- It's quite rare these days since the boys are so busy now!

- Sometimes, I wish we could go back to the old times, to the simpler times.

- Justice for Zeth's balls!

- When are they going to start talking to us?

- Watching them makes me want to have friends.

- Yeah, it's not enough to be an astra. I need to be a part of EVE.

Jaeyong sighed and spoke loudly to break the silence.

"Shoot to the top! Hi guys, we're EVE!"

Somehow, the greeting snapped the members to their proper selves, almost as if they were on autopilot.

June shook his head at the ridiculous situation.

He couldn't believe he was with such a crazy bunch.

However, even though he didn't say it out loud, he loved the crazy bunch and probably couldn't live without them anymore.

Jaeyong sighed in relief as June took the phone from Jisung's hand and propped it onto the table so they would all be seen without squishing each other.

- Omo. This view of June is so nice.

- He's filming from below, but he's still so handsome.

- It's been a while since we've seen June. I can't :(

- It's only been two days.

- Justice for us who look awful from that angle.

- What if I look awful from every angle?

- Pray for a good new life.

"Why didn't I think of that?" Jisung asked as they were now all shown on the screen.

"Clearly, June's the only one with a functioning brain," Casper proudly said.

- Casper's simping for June again.

- Juneper is sailing!

- Please make babies with each other.

"Anyway, we came on here while we were practicing," Jaeyong said. "We're working really hard for the mini-concert, so please look forward to it."

"See! We're practicing this late into the night because we love you!" Akira exclaimed, pointing at the windows that showed the dark skies.

Sehun shook his head. "Don't be fooled, guys. He wants to go home right away after this one!"

Akira's eyes widened, and he quickly shook his head at the camera to defend himself.

- I didn't manage to get tickets

- Please, why is the venue so small?

- I almost lost a lung fighting for those tickets. Luckily, I got one at the very last row -.-

- At least you were able to buy one!

"It seems like a lot of people weren't able to get any tickets," Akira said. "We should have chosen a bigger venue, huh?"

- Yes!

- A hundred percent.

"Well, unluckily for you and me, we don't really decide that. Our company arranges it," Akira continued.

Ren hit his side. "Can we say that?" he whispered.

Akira merely shrugged.

- I knew it!

- Fuck Azure, really!!

Seeing that so many fans were upset, June decided to bring up the topic.

"Maybe we should ask Azure about adding another date," he suggested.

"Would you guys like that?" June asked. "Let's have Jaeyong speak with the higher-ups, should we?" he teased.

Jaeyong's eyes widened in surprise, then he gestured for June to cut it off. They weren't supposed to pressure the company to do anything!

- Please, please.

- June, I'm already holding onto your words.

- Please make it happen, Azure!

- Maybe we should make another hashtag.

Jaeyong let out a soft sigh as the comments became chaotic.

With that, he decided to do some damage control.

"Well," he chuckled nervously. "Do you guys want to ask us some questions? We're not going to be here for long, so we'll take this time to answer your queries."

- June, when are you coming back to Rising Stars?

- Until when are you taking a break, June?

- Will June write another song for the album?

"The people are curious when you're going to come back, June," Zeth said, scrolling through the plethora of comments that only mentioned June.

"In a week," June said. "I'm just resting for a bit, guys. I'll be back soon."

"Don't pressure him too much, guys," Casper said. "He needs a lot of rest."

- June, I want you to come back!

- June, please dye your hair again.

- What are the members' first impressions of June?

June, noticing that the comments were only talking about him, frowned.

"You can ask the other guys questions, you know?" he asked, sounding a bit annoyed.

- Oh no. Is he mad?

- There are too many people in the live right now. Almost all of them are June's solo fans.

- June, leave the group and go solo! They're hindering you.

- That's true. If you didn't do EVE's projects, then you would have more time for your solo schedules.

"What the heck?" Akira couldn't help but exclaim as the comment section became increasingly toxic.

"Umm," Jisung muttered, also feeling like he couldn't say anything about the situation.

Jaeyong clicked his tongue and wondered if they should abruptly end their lives.

However, before that could happen, the door opened, revealing a very unexpected person.

"Mr. Ong?" Akira muttered.

With that, June acted fast and turned off the live, leaving plenty of the fans confused.

Fans flocked to Navel as soon as the live was finished.

- What the heck just happened?

- Mr. Ong? Isn't that the CEO of Azure Entertainment?

- Oh goodness. Did the boys get into trouble?

- I don't know what to feel. It seems like I should laugh, but not at the same time.

- Bring Azure down!

"So, you guys were here," Mr. Ong said.

The boy's eyes widened in surprise since there was something very strange about the CEO.

Then, it hit them.

Akira stood with a loud gasp, pointing at their CEO.

"You don't have your chair!" he exclaimed.

Mr. Ong remained stoic as the boys looked at him with wide eyes.

"Oh, you're actually really short," Akira said, not being able to stop himself.

Jaeyong quickly slapped his hand over Akira's mouth and led him to sit back down.

"Shut up," Jaeyong said, feeling his heart beat faster in his chest.

Mr. Ong stayed silent for a while before speaking in a menacing tone.

"My office."

"Now."
