From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Present Time

"June." "June!"

June was lost in his thoughts until he heard Jaeyong calling his name.

Then, his view became clear once again.

Angel Zhang was right before him.

She looked familiar yet different at the same time. She already looked beautiful before, but she definitely looked even more beautiful now.

A small smile appeared on June's face.

Back then, he wanted only one of their fates to change. However, now, they were face to face, each with changed fates.

It wasn't impossible after all.

Angel, too, seemed to not know what to say, just opening and closing her mouth without any words spilling.

"June," Angel whispered.

She could never forget such a name. It was the name of the only man she loved-one that she could not forget up to this point!

However, looking at the 'June' before her, he definitely didn't look familiar.

He was way more handsome and gentle-looking, unlike the Jun she really knew.

Just then, some staff with large props passed by behind her, but she failed to evade them because she was busy observing June's face.

June's eyebrows raised in surprise, and he quickly pulled her toward him to avoid getting hit. "Careful, Angel," he said, causing Angel to freeze.

That tone! They had the same tone! He also said the exact same thing that Jun did back then! However, as she looked into his eyes once again, she couldn't see an ounce of familiarity. Jun's eyes were a little bit crooked, but this guy has a golden ratio!

Angel narrowed her eyes, reaching her arm to touch June's skin. However, June was pulled back before she could do so.

Angel's eyes widened as she looked behind June, only to see another handsome and muscular man looking at her with a slight glare.

'Well, they look good together," she thought.

June sighed and massaged the bridge of his nose.

"Casper, behave," he said.

Casper pursed his lips and nodded. "There's plenty of eyes here," he muttered. "I just don't want you to get into an unnecessary scandal."

June nodded, understanding his teammate's sentiment. With that, he kept a comfortable distance and bowed.

"Hello, senior," he said.

Angel cleared her throat and also slightly bowed. "Hello," she said. "Thank you for saving me there."

June shook his head. "It was just instincts."

They were silent for a few moments before June broke it.

"Is there anything you need?" he asked.

June acknowledged Angel to be his first love. He spent many days thinking about her before, too, even singing a heartbreaking karaoke song when he got drank.

However, it had been way too long, so he actually forgot about his feelings.

As he looked into her eyes, she was nothing but a talented performer with lots of fans.

Meanwhile, Angel couldn't shake off the feeling that June was really familiar.

With that, she nodded.

"I just wanted to compliment you guys for your performance," she shyly said.

"And here," she said, rummaging through her purse and giving June her personal calling card.

June's eyebrows raised in surprise; however, he found himself reaching for her number.

Angel's cheeks reddened as she bowed once more.

"That's all," she said. "Continue to do a good job," she muttered.

With that, she went away from the members of EVE while June pocketed her number.

As soon as she was gone, the boys flocked to where June was.

"What the heck was that?" Zeth exclaimed.

"June's Rizz extends borders?" Ren asked. "Unbelievable!"

"You need to put in a cage," Casper muttered.

"Why do you always get girls' numbers?" Akira bitterly exclaimed.

"Not only that, but he got Angel Zhang's number," Jaeyong chimed. "She's one of the biggest stars in China!"

June scratched the back of his neck as the boys continued pestering him to share her number. He didn't divulge it, of course.

June still didn't know what he was going to do with the number, but he decided to keep it since it might come in handy one of these days.

Angel, on the other hand, went back to her tent with a racing heart.

"This is dangerous," she muttered. "Is this what fangirls feel like when they have an idol?"

"Or is it because he feels so familiar?"

Then, she gently hit her forehead. "Why did I give my personal number so easily like that?" "You gave your personal number?" her manager exclaimed, causing her eyes to widen in

surprise.

"What are you doing there?" she asked with wide eyes.

"I never left," he said, walking over to her and placing both hands on her shoulders.

"You really gave your personal number to someone? I thought you weren't interested in anyone because you're still stuck on that first love of yours?"

Angel's cheeks reddened further.

"Who is it?" her manager asked. "Please tell me it's at least an A-list celebrity."

Angel pursed her lips and shook her head. "I'm not telling you."

Back to the boys...

They were still making a huge fuss regarding Angel giving June her number when someone

cleared his throat from behind them.

They finally stopped teasing June and turned around, only to see Jayden Chou looking at them

with a wide smile.

"Ah, EVE," he said. "I've been meaning to speak to you."

Their eyes widened since they were in the presence of a really big star.

Jaeyong, whose mom listened to Jayden Chou's music all the time, froze in shock.

June quickly bowed, and the others followed.

"Oh, there's no need for that," Jayden chuckled. "But, I appreciate it. I can tell that you are a

polite group of boys."

"Anyway, I just came by to tell you that you did a great job with my song. 52 is a song that I

still struggle to interpret up to this day, but you guys did a perfect portrayal! I'm just going to

ask permission for it to be reposted on my page."

Jaeyong enthusiastically nodded. "Of course, sir! It is our honor."

"But before any of that, can I ask for a photo with you? I will also post it on my Weibee

account."

The boys were surprised, and they agreed enthusiastically.

Meanwhile, June couldn't believe it.

His goal was to have a decently-loved performance at the Jade Music Festival. He knew how hard it was to penetrate the market through the festival, so he didn't have high expectations. However, even Jayden Chou came to appreciate their performance!

"You boys deserve to be recognized for your performance," Jayden smiled, typing on his

phone as he spoke.

"There, I've posted it already!" he excitedly said. "I'm looking forward to working with you

in the future."

"Us too, senior," June politely said.

Jayden nodded and handed him his calling card too.

"There you go," Jayden said. "Give this to your company and give me a call for a

collaboration."

With that, the big star left the group of boys, all looking starstruck.

"June! Open that Weibee account of yours and look at his post."

June, who was also excited, reached for his phone and opened his old Weibee account.

He clicked on Jayden Chou's profile, causing the boys to freeze in shock.

Akira grabbed his phone and looked at Jayden's follower count.

"He has 63 million followers?"
