Chapter 827: EVE's Popularity Is No Joke
From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show
"Shit!" Akira cursed, not knowing what to do.
June acted quickly and went to the elevator to get it to open. However, since there were a total of 14 floors in the hotel, it took a while for it to go down.
"June, open it," Jaeyong urged, but June could only do so much.
The fans were getting closer and closer. The hotel staff tried to keep the situation at bay, but some still managed to break through the barriers and go to where EVE was.
They started screaming in a foreign language, even going as far as getting Casper's beanie. It all became a big blur as the members were surrounded by their new fans.
Fortunately, before the damage could be fatal, the elevator door finally opened, and the members quickly went inside, with June blocking the fans.
The doors closed, and it was only then that the members of EVE sighed.
They were silent for a few moments, still internalizing the situation.
Then Zeth looked at all of them before letting out a small chuckle.
"Goodness," he said. "You guys look like a mess."
Casper clicked his tongue. "Say that to yourself. Look at your shirt."
Zeth looked down at his shirt and saw that there was a hole in his chest area. It seemed like someone had cut a piece of his shirt to keep as a souvenir.
However, they cut his shirt at the most inconvenient place. The nipple.
Zeth let out a squeal as he covered his chest with his arms.
Ren clicked his tongue, also looking at his loose shirt. It had been pulled in different places, so it appeared three times larger than the original size.
Jisung, on the other hand, had missing buttons.
"At this point, June is the most well-dressed out of all of us," he chimed.
The other boys turned to June, and they found that he, indeed, appeared unscathed.
"What the heck?" Zeth exclaimed. "Why do you look fine?"
June shrugged and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "They didn't touch me."
The elevator doors finally opened, and they made their way back to June's room once again.
June sighed as he closed the door to his room. "I was really craving that dish, too," he muttered. "Who knew that we'd be mobbed even at this hotel?"
"I think nobody expected it," Jaeyong said, scratching the back of his head. "We didn't even call our guards since we didn't have a problem yesterday."
"That's because nobody cared for us yesterday!" Ren exclaimed. "How the heck did our fans multiply in such a short amount of time?"
Zeth smirked and shrugged. "I'm guessing it's because of my performance yesterday."
Ren rolled his eyes and ignored their narcissistic friend. "Anyway," he said, turning to June. "I still want to go to the restaurant you're talking about."
"Me too!" Akira exclaimed.
"Me three," Jaeyong chimed.
"Count the rest of us in."
June sighed and raked his fingers through his hair. "How can we do that? We can't even eat at the hotel buffet at this point."
"Should we call our bodyguards?" Jaeyong asked.
"It's no fun," Jisung said. "I want to spend some quality time with you, guys."
"What do you suggest then?" Zeth asked. "It's true that we can't go out there."
Just then, Casper raised his hand.
"I have an idea!" he exclaimed.
"Oh no," Ren muttered, but Casper continued with his suggestion.
"June, you said that you have ten sets of that, right?" he asked, pertaining to June's outfit.
June frowned but nodded nonetheless.
"Well, it seems like people don't think you're a celebrity with such clothes. There are eight of us. We can wear one set each and go out in twos, and no one will even notice!"
They turned silent for a moment.
"No way," June said. However, his refusal was overridden by his members' enthusiastic agreement.
"Genius! I knew you were the smartest out of all of us," Zeth said. "Although the size wouldn't match with some of us because June is a tiny hamster, I'm still down for the idea."
"Thinking about it, he wasn't mobbed at the Korean airport, too," Jisung said. "I'm also down for the idea."
The others agreed that it was a genius idea.
June stood from the bed and placed his hands on his waist. "You guys don't even care about my opinion?" he asked.
"Well, we don't have any other choice," Jaeyong said, pulling out his 'leader' tone.
"We're going to starve here. We're growing adults. Don't you want us to eat, June?" Jisung asked with puppy eyes. "Besides, didn't you want to eat there, too? We're all excited to eat at the restaurant with you."
June sighed and massaged the bridge of his nose. Out of all his members, he was the weakest
against Jisung.
Maybe it was because he knew how babyish the young man truly was, or maybe it was because he was the person who stood by his side since Rising Stars.
With that, June finally nodded, causing the other boys to rejoice.
"I've already worn one of the sets at the airport," June said. "I'm wearing one right now, and I need another one to wear at the airport tomorrow. So, there's only seven available sets." Casper stood and crossed his arms in front of his chest. There was a smile playing on his lips as he shook his head.
"No problemo," he said. "I can just wear the one that you've worn."
June was about to argue that it was weird, but it seemed like the others didn't find it strange,
so June had no choice but to comply.
June shook his head. "I hate it here," he muttered.
"Aww, don't lie!" Akira exclaimed. "I know that you love us."
The boys all wore June's clothes, and as Zeth said, they were a bit tight on Jaeyong, Sehun, Casper, and him. However, they all found it comfortable.
"I might start buying things like this," Akira said as he looked down at himself. "I mean, I
look awful, but this is so dang comfortable. It feels like I'm wearing nothing!"
June sighed and shook his head. "Who's going down first? Wait for us in front of the
convenience store up front."
Jisung played with his fingers. "Are we sure that this is going to work?"
With his utterance, the others doubted it, too, not wanting to go first.
"Since I was the one who suggested it, I'll go first with June," Casper said, walking to where
June was.
"Yeah, I think that's for the best," Jaeyong said. "Text us when you get there."
With that, June sighed and followed Casper to the hotel lobby.
June was still a little bit apprehensive. With how meticulous fans were in this era, he was sure
that they were going to find out one way or another.
However, as they walked out of the hotel without a single eye glancing toward their way, June
realized that his clothes must hold some kind of power.
"Yay, my plan worked!" Casper exclaimed.
