From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

It was cold. The kind of cold that penetrated deep within the bones. June couldn't open his eyes.

However, he could hear a beautiful melody from far away. His eyebrows furrowed in his sleep. "Did I actually die?" he muttered. The singing continued, and the cold intensified. "It's cold," he whispered. "It seems like I'm in heaven," he smiled.

Despite all of the sins he had committed, the deities actually allowed him a chance to go to heaven! Now, it didn't seem like dying was too bad. He sniffed the air and smelled a delicious scent—one of fresh pie in the oven.

A small smile appeared on his lips. "Pie," he muttered. It had been a while since he ate the baked good. "June," a woman's voice said. June's eyebrows furrowed. "God?" he asked. "He must be out of his mind," she muttered, making June even more confused.

So, god was actually a woman, huh? "Wake up, idiot!" With closed eyes, June's eyebrows raised in surprise. It also seemed like god was an avid curser. Was that the reason why he was accepted into heaven?

Just then, he felt a strong force on his forehead, making him gasp loudly and sit straight. "What the heck?" he exclaimed, holding onto his forehead. June finally opened his eyes, only to see Jenny, his beloved cousin, looking down at him with a disgusted expression. "What the heck?" she repeated back. "It's already brunch time! How come you're not up yet?" "I know that you had a concert yesterday night, but that isn't an excuse to be lazy!" June frowned in confusion. "Why...are you here?" he trailed off. "Did you die, too?" Jenny slapped the back of his head once more. "Die, my ass.

Do you want me to kill you?" she asked. June was dumbfounded. Her hits definitely hurt—even more than the gangsters he used to work with when he was in his old body.

So, that could only mean one thing—he was actually alive. "Anyway," Jenny sighed. "I came here because Jaeyong asked me to come. Something about coming to get you or something." "But, I didn't expect you to wake up so late," she continued. "I already baked a pie and all, but you're still not awake." "Heck, your members are already practicing a song! You should join them," she said. "And what's with your room?

Why the heck is it so hot? I turned up the air conditioning all the way up because it feels like a safari in here." June scratched the back of his head. So, that explained the sensations he felt a while ago. "Strange," he said.

Jenny clicked his tongue. "What's even more strange is that you're still not getting up! Hurry up. The pie is being cut right now." June, despite finding the situation strange, got out of bed and followed after his cousin. "Well, Dr.

Oh did say that I may have more time," he smiled. "Let's enjoy it for a moment." With that, June went out of his room. The first person to greet him was Casper, who was already standing outside of his door. His face was pale, and it seemed like he was dreading June's awakening.

When Casper saw June, his face became even more pale—almost as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. "You're still alive," Casper loudly said, making Jenny turn around. She giggled loudly and giddily slapped Casper's arm. "Oh, come on now," she said in a flirty tone. June rolled his eyes.

His cousin was insufferable, as usual. "I'm not that violent," she continued. "I won't kill him just for that. I also don't want to be martyred by his fans." Even as Jenny ranted, Casper continued staring at June. June left him all alone and went to the kitchen.

The first thing he noticed was Jay and Jaeyong, who had their faces on the table. "He's finally awake!" Jenny announced, making the two of them lift their heads. Then, their eyes widened as soon as they saw June. "You—" Jay exclaimed. However, June glared at him before he could finish his statement, making him zip his mouth shut.

Jaeyong, too, appeared like he had seen a ghost, unable to say anything with his agape mouth. "Oh, sit down, bro," Jisung said, pointing to June's seat. "Jenny made us blueberry pie. It's really good!" he added. Jenny smiled widely before patting Jisung's head. "You're really such a good boy," she said, making Jisung beam. "Oh, please," Akira said. "Don't feed him compliments.

His head is going to get bigger." Jisung shook his head and continued to gesture for June to come closer. "You know what would be better, though?" Akira asked. "We should eat this pie while watching the new drama on TV!" Jisung's spine straightened in excitement. "Yeah! We should do that. But Jaeyong doesn't want us eating in the living room," he muttered. "It's...alright," Jaeyong said, disbelief still evident on his face. "Yay!" Akira and Jisung exclaimed, quickly standing from their seats and coaxing the others to join them in the living room.

Zeth got up and patted June's back. "Last night was really good," he said. "Our group name trended all night long because of your speech." Sehun, too, smiled at him. "Thank you for redistributing the lines of the last song," he said. June absent-mindedly nodded, still finding the situation surreal. "June, come on!" Ren exclaimed. June nodded and followed after them, sitting on the couch.

He observed his body and didn't find anything wrong. Then, a small smile appeared on his face. It seemed like he was actually okay! "I still have some days," June muttered, feeling happy about his extended time.

With that, he retrieved his phone from his pocket and turned it on. He had turned it off in preparation for his death, but it seemed like he still had some time. As the home screen appeared, his smile fell when he saw that he received multiple texts from an unknown number.

The first text read—'Today's the deadline.' June's eyebrows furrowed as he clicked on the message. Then, the other messages appeared. Unknown: I will give you until midnight.

Unknown: You will regret it if you don't answer. Unknown: I know you have it. I know where it is.

Unknown: I am giving you a chance to give it to me before I do something worse...much, much worse. Unknown: Last chance. That was the last text that June had received, making him shake his head. "Why is it taking so long to air?" Akira exclaimed. "It's supposed to be out by now!" "Breaking news!" "What is that?" Sehun asked.

June snapped his gaze away from his phone as soon as Sehun saw those words. "We have an active shooter in a hospital in Seoul."
