From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

"I'll leave this as an assignment for you, guys," June said. "Let's think about it overnight and come up with something tomorrow."

"For now, you can stay here or go to your room to rest."

"Thanks, Mentor," the girls said, bowing at June as he left.

June shook his head as soon as he closed the door, feeling at a loss.

He knew exactly what having a sibling was like. However, he couldn't imagine incorporating it into the song that they were provided.

With that, he walked to the waiting room where Jangmoon and Jay were conversing.

"So, I bought her a new, expensive watch and said—'Now, you have more time for me.' Cool, right? Her face went all red after I said it," Jay proudly said with squared shoulders.

Jangmoon sighed and massaged his nose bridge. "Are you still seeing her now?"

"Nope," Jay said, innocently shaking his head.

"Well, did you take the watch back?"

"Why would I take it back? It's hers. I'm just waiting for her to call me back. Although, it seems like she changed her number. Maybe she got robbed or something."

Jangmoon shook his head. "You're hopeless. You'll really die alone at this point."

As June shut the door, the two of them turned to where he was.

Their eyes immediately brightened as soon as they saw him.

June also couldn't help but smile. He decided to let go of his concerns at the moment and savor what was in front of him.

This was a rare moment—seeing the two stupid boys together.

It might be the last time he was going to see such a view, so he wanted to memorize every detail.

"Well, what are you doing just standing there?" Jangmoon asked, chuckling. "Come here, and let's talk!"

June shook his head and joined the two of them on the couch.

Jangmoon quickly jumped closer to him, acting like a clingy puppy.

"How've you been?" he asked.

June shrugged. "It's been nice, I guess. EVE is doing well."

"Oh, I could definitely see that," Jangmoon said. "Everywhere I go, I see you, guys. Sometimes, it doesn't even feel like we haven't met in a long time because I see your guys' photos on the streets and on Navel all the time."

June smirked. "Well, what about you? You also seem to be doing well.

Jangmoon sheepishly smiled. "Things actually turned out alright," he answered. "I thought I would continue my schooling, but I put out a rap song that I recorded in my basement, and the results weren't bad at all."

"My earnings are definitely not a lot, but it's enough to keep me going each day," he continued.

"Although, it would be nice if I had an agency who would help me with all of the process. If ever a spot opens in Azure, please do hire me," he said with hopeful eyes.

Jay and June turned to each other with knowing looks.

"I think you should look into a new company," June advised, causing Jangmoon to chuckle.

"Well, if ever you open a new company, let me come with you," he concluded.

Jay chuckled out loud. "That's the dream, but it's honestly impossible. When I get there, I'll make sure to recruit you first."

"I'm holding onto that promise," Jangmoon said.

The three of them were stuck in silence for a couple of minutes.

However, it wasn't the awkward kind.

In fact, it felt somewhat comforting.

It seemed like they were back in their practice room, dazed as they waited for the next course of their plans.

Now, they were in June's waiting room, each thriving in their respective careers.

"It's been such a crazy ride, hasn't it?" Jangmoon asked, leaning against the couch.

"Tell me about it," Jay said. "It seems like yesterday when we performed with latex costumes."

"I still dream about that sometimes," Jangmoon chimed. "It was the performance that made me realize that rapping was fun."

June chuckled. "Wasn't I the reason behind that?"

"You were," Jangmoon said. "Honestly speaking, you were the reason why a lot of things happened during our season. I could see why you ended up in the first place."

June tilted his head to the side.

"What do you mean by that?"

June always thought he only got to where he was because of Fu.

Jangmoon and Jay turned to each other with wide smiles.

"Well, you were the only independent trainee on the show! You also song that Little Meow Meow song," Jay started off.

"Then, you moved from five stars to zero stars but ended up making us win because of your ridiculous animal concept," Jangmoon continued, chuckling as he remembered the days.

"Ooh, ooh! You also had those guys arrested!" Jay exclaimed. "It's been such a long time that I even forgot about their names."

"Then, you were stuck in that weird sponsoring issue that we mistakenly believed," Jangmoon chimed, scratching the back of his neck in embarrassment.

"Not to mention, you were also everyone's confidant in the show," Jay added. "You comforted us when you needed comfort yourself. I rewatched the show one time, and I realized just how kind you are. I thought you were pretty cold all throughout the show, but most of your actions were actually really warm."

Jangmoon smiled. "But then, do you remember when you still had that old phone? It made weird sounds in the night, and sometimes, it scared me with how hot it got."

June chuckled. "It's gone now. It literally exploded."

"Ah," Jay sighed, leaning against the couch. "Those were the fun times."

"I wouldn't want to do it all over again, though," Jangmoon said, mirroring Jay's movements. "It was fun, but it was also really stressful."

"Agreed," June said, looking up at the ceiling.

"It was a good thing I had you, guys," he muttered softly.

However, the stupid duo still managed to hear him.

"Eyy, you actually love us, huh?" Jay said, nudging his shoulder.

June clicked his tongue. "Believe what you want to believe."

"However," he added. "I just want to say that I'm grateful to all of you. Thank you for all the memories. I will surely treasure them all."

Jangmoon and Jay chuckled in amusement. "Well, it sounds like you're saying goodbye."

June didn't say anything and merely continued looking at the white ceiling.

"Wait!" Jangmoon exclaimed. "I have another hilarious story."

"Remember that livestreaming mission we had?" he asked, now sitting straight.

"Oh, yeah!" Jay exclaimed, laughing out loud while slapping his knees. "That was hilarious! You thought the cleaning cart was part of the choices."

June shook his head, also feeling amused.

"It's not my fault," June exclaimed. "It was Mr. Klin who carelessly left his supplies in the room."

June thought they were going to continue laughing. However, Jay and Jangmoon turned silent, causing June to become confused.

He sat straight and looked at the two of them.

"Who?" Jay asked, making June even more confused.

"Mr. Klin," June deadpanned. "The bald janitor we have."

Jangmoon and Jay turned to each other with raised eyebrows.

"What bald janitor? We didn't have a bald janitor."
