From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show - Chapter 962: Center of Attention

The eight boys sat inside their limousine (courtesy of Lina) without uttering a single word. Even Bo Wen couldn’t get a word out as he pursed his lips to try and hide his laughter.

It was a very hard task to accomplish, especially since June looked like he was ready to murder every person in the car.

June looked around the car and saw the guilty look on the boys’ faces-especially Casper’s.

The car smelled strongly of a 2010 pop-up shop of tacky men’s perfume, and the blue and red neon lights didn’t help one bit with their situation.

Jisung cleared his throat, raking his fingers through his hair and appearing like a model straight from a photoshoot.

“Umm,” he started off. “You look really cute, June.”

The others had sharp breath intake while June glared at Jisung.

Then, he exploded.

“Are you guys having fun with this?” he asked. “Did you all plan this, huh?”

Jaeyong’s eyes widened in panic, and he frantically shook his head. “It’s not any of that sort!” he exclaimed.

“You weren’t able to join our video chat because you had somewhere to be, so we got Casper to text you the concept of our costume.”

June then turned to Casper, who was evading his gaze.

“Care to explain yourself?”

Casper scratched the back of his head. “I really did text you the right concept! I didn’t think my phone would autocorrect it into something else.”

The other boys looked at him with disbelief.

“How the heck is that even possible?” Sehun exclaimed.

Casper pursed his lips. “It just is, alright? I already feel too guilty.”

June sighed and shook his head. “No wonder I found it ridiculous! And to think I did this because of my loyalty to you, guys!”

“Aww,” Akira said, placing his hands over his heart. “June cares about us so much that he’s willing to look stupid with us!”

June glared at Akira, causing him to turn away.

“Anyway,” June said, crossing his arms in front of his chest. “Bo Wen, head back. I’m going to change.”

The boy’s eyes widened.

“We’re already late as it is!” Jaeyong exclaimed. “We can’t go back now.”

Ren nodded in agreement. “I received a text from Haruki that said we are the only ones they’re waiting for! We can’t possibly make them wait any longer.”

June’s eyebrows furrowed. “So, what?” he exclaimed. “You want me to go there in this costume?”

“Why not?” Ren innocently smiled. “I think you do look pretty cute.”

Zeth clicked his tongue. “Yeah, it’s kind of ridiculous how good you look in that costume.”

“You’re only saying that because you have your abs out,” June deadpanned. “If you had this costume, you would want to head back, too.”

Zeth shrugged and looked down at his abs. “Well, be thankful I’m not dressed in that, then.” “Shall I turn back?” Bo Wen asked, sounding conflicted.

“Yes,” June said.

“No,” the rest of his members exclaimed, drowning out his voice.

Bo Wen scratched his bald head and decided to continue driving to the place of the event, causing June to sigh in frustration.

Akira reached out and wrapped his arms around June.

“Don’t worry, June!” he exclaimed. “You still look very nice. Besides, think of it as a gift to the fans. Imagine how they’re going to feel when they see you.”

“Repulsed,” June deadpanned, causing the boys to shake their heads.

“Trust me,” Zeth said. “Even if you had dressed up as an earthworm, the fans would still love you.”

June sighed and looked outside the window, already seeing the large Phoenix building.

“I’m afraid that might be better.”

– Where are June, Jisung, Zeth, Casper, Sehun, Ren, Akira, and Jaeyong?

– I can’t believe we’re resulting in calling them such a way because their name is still owned by Azure Entertainment.

– Yeah, they need to come up with a new name soon.

– I hope they leave it to the sane people in their group, though.

– They’re coming out!

– OMG! Are those abs, I see?

– Casper and Zeth have their tits out!

– What are they dressed as?

– Surfers!

The boys came down the limousine one by one, earning praises from the cameramen. The cameras flashed at lightning speed as the members appeared.

– They’re so freaking handsome!

– The future of Phoenix is bright.

– I’m a Phoenix hoe. Now that this group is in the company, I might stan.

– Seriously, the surfer concept is genius! They looked like boys you would fall in love with during your

vacation!

– Except boys like this don’t really exist in real life.

– Where is June, though? Why is he taking such a long time?

– The other boys look so amused. Are June’s abs out too?

– Omo! Are we getting more mature concepts from EVE?

– Sigh. A big disappointment once more. All these boys are too handsome for their own good. I was

expecting something explosive, but there’s none.

“Come on!” Akira exclaimed as June hid behind the large post.

June pursed his lips before cursing under his breath. He would hold this against the members

for the rest of his life.

After a while, June finally decided to show up in front of the cameras.

The lights stopped flashing for a couple of seconds as the cameramen just stared at June.

Then, it flashed like crazy. There wasn’t a single millisecond where they didn’t stop taking

photos of June.

The other boys looked at him with amusement.

“June looks cute!” Jisung exclaimed.

-The photos are out!

– Oh my fucking gosh. What is June wearing?

– THIS! THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT! IDOLS NEED TO START WEARING THINGS LIKE THIS.

– I can’t. This is hilarious.

– A surfer and a spurf?

June shook his head as he settled in the middle-his position as the rightful center of the

group. However, he didn’t need to stand in the center to become the center of attention.

Amidst the beautiful surfer boys stood a cute blue creature with neon yellow hair. June clicked his tongue. “I hate you, guys.”
