From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

June woke up with the scent of his members surrounding him.

How does he know that?

Let's just say that it wasn't consensual. He learned it against his own will.

Casper, with the scent of grass and a little bit (a lot) of insanity.

Jaeyong, with the scent of laundry and stress.

Jisung, with the scent of lavender and snacks.

Zeth and Ren, with manly body spray and some angst. Don't ask why they smell the smell the

same.

Sehun, on the other hand, smelled like the cabinet of someone's grandma. The type of grandma who knitted for a hobby and made hard cookies on a daily basis.

And Akira? He smelled of nothing...unless his grippers were out.

And in this case, they were, which was the reason why his slumber was interrupted in the first place.

With closed eyes, he groaned.

"What are you guys doing here?" he asked, already sounding tired despite the long sleep he had.

"Bro!" Jisung exclaimed, jumping to his bed and going under the covers. With that, he felt the other members flocking to him, too, making him groan in annoyance.

He removed his sleeping mask and glared at his members, who surrounded him like a bunch of scared hamsters.

"June smells so good!" Jisung exclaimed, holding onto his homie's arm. "He smells like baby cologne and home."

Sehun frowned. "Home? What does home even smell like?"

Jisung shrugged. "He just smells like home. I can't describe it. This must be one of the reasons why so many people like him."

"Pheromones?" Casper asked, causing June to frown.

"What the heck is that?"

Ren shook his head and placed his hand over June's shoulder. "I think it's best if you don't find out."

June sighed and raked his fingers through his hair. "Seriously, what are you guys doing here?"

"It's our day off!" Akira exclaimed. "We're going to stay here in Beijing for one more day without any schedules, so why don't we go out?"

"Yeah!" Sehun chimed. "You know a lot about the country, so we reckoned that you also know some tourist spots."

June pursed his lips. Of course, he knew the tourist spots around Beijing. He had explored the area plenty of times before in his past life.

He found it troublesome to tour them around, so he wanted to decline.

However, the boys looked at him with sparkling eyes, which melted June's icy heart.

"Fine," he said. "I'll get ready in a few minutes."

"Yay!" the boys exclaimed, even giving each other high fives.

June shook his head and went to the bathroom to freshen up and change into his clothes. It didn't take long since he had already taken a bath the night before.

With that, he went out of the room, where he found his members lounging in his bed.

"You're right," Casper said, sniffing June's blanket. "He does smell like baby cologne and home."

"Right?" Jisung exclaimed. "It's very fitting."

June clicked his tongue and hurriedly went to the bed to pull his blanket away. Then, he folded it while glaring at Casper and Jisung.

"Where do you guys even want to go?" June asked as he continued fixing his bed.

The boys didn't respond and continued looking at him.

June raised one of his eyebrows in inquiry. "What?" he asked.

Zeth stood and circled around him, observing his outfit.

"Isn't this the outfit you wore at the airport?" he asked.

Ren shook his head. "He had a different shirt. Oh, I think the sweatpants are slightly darker back then, too."

June clicked his tongue and looked down at his outfit. "What's it to you? I have more than ten sets of these."

"Dang," the boys said in unison.

"What?" June asked. "You don't buy duplicates of your clothes? They're comfortable and cheap, so I buy them when I get the chance."

Zeth sighed and wrapped one arm around June's shoulder. "I respect you, brother. Now, I totally get why you were able to sponsor our props for yesterday night's stage."

"Your money only goes to stuff like this," he said.

June sighed and removed Zeth's arm around his shoulder.

"Just answer my question," he said. "Where do you guys want to go?"

"Well, I'm hungry," Zeth said, rubbing his stomach. "Let's eat some local food."

"Yeah!" Akira said. "Something filling."

June placed his hand under his chin, recalling the places he had eaten when he visited Beijing

with his gang before.

Then, his mind automatically went to a place that he frequented during those times.

"Can you guys handle spicy food?" June asked.

"Heck yeah!" Akira exclaimed.

Meanwhile, Jisung shook his head. "I can't, bro."

"Don't worry," June said. "I think they have a kiddie menu."

"Aww, that's perfect for Jisungie!" Ren said, patting the younger idol's head.

Jisung sighed and shook his head. "I'm not a kid, though."

June placed on his mask and slung his backpack over his shoulders.

"Come on," he said. "The place is pretty popular, so we need to leave now before it becomes

filled."

The boys turned to each other, excitement seen in their eyes.

"It must be a really popular restaurant," Ren whispered excitedly.

Sehun nodded. "June has good taste, so I have a lot of expectations."

With that, the group of boys made their way down the hotel. They were at the very top, so it took a bit to get there."

Then, as they arrived at the lobby, they found that the entrance was occluded. Moreover, the hotel buffet, which was usually empty, was filled to the brim.

Zeth frowned as he removed his sunglasses. "Dang, is the hotel buffet actually good?"

"Please leave! We cannot accept non-guests in the hotel," one of the staff members said.

"We're going to pay!"

"We'll book a room!"

"We're fully booked!" another staff exclaimed, trying to keep the situation calm.

June gestured for the guys to stop, and they quickly followed.

Ren narrowed his eyes at the hotel's entrance. It seemed like there were plenty of people

occluding the door.

"I don't think only the hotel buffet is popular," he said. "The hotel itself must be popular."

"Yeah," Jaeyong muttered. "All these people want a room here, huh?"

June, however, felt like there was something strange.

Then, when one of them turned to where they were, June finally realized why he felt strange.

"Fuck," he muttered.

"EVE! Guys, there's EVE!"
