From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show



"Fifty!" Mei exclaimed in happiness as she piped some icing on the last cupcake.

The other cast members looked at the array of cupcakes with proud smiles. It wasn't the prettiest, but they all worked hard on it.

"They're so cruel," Hana sighed. "They really just gave us barely enough ingredients for fifty cupcakes."

"Ramil PD is so smart," Haruki said. "I hate it."

There was a loud growl heard in the kitchen, causing the cast to pause.

"What...was that?" Mimi asked, slightly appalled.

Hana placed her hands over her stomach and pursed her lips. "I told you-I'm really hungry."

"I wish I could eat one of these cupcakes right now," she said, appearing hypnotized by the sweet treats.

The others, too, even June, felt tempted to eat them. The parasites in their stomachs and brains craved the sugary goodness of the vanilla cupcakes. Even Casper, who wasn't fond of sweet things, was compelled to steal one.

Joonie gulped as he looked at the pink icing. Meanwhile, Pablo cried in misery that they couldn't eat their wonderful creations.

Jisung's eyes glazed over, and for a second, it felt like he had lost his mind. Fortunately, June caught him at the right time. He held onto his shoulders just as he was about to pounce on the cupcakes.

"No," June said. "Jisung, don't lose yourself over this."

Jisung pursed his lips as he reached out to the cupcakes. June continued to hold onto him.

"Jisung, look at me!" Casper joined in. "This isn't you!"

However, June also caught the look in Casper's eyes. June's eyebrows shot up in surprise, and he pointed at Casper with his index finger.

"You're losing it, too," he said. "Don't freaking do it."

Casper closed his eyes and massaged the bridge of his nose.

Mei, too, breathed heavily like a zombie who was craving human flesh and blood.

"Hana!" June exclaimed. "Hold onto Mei. She's going to pounce any time!"

However, Hana was also not in the right mind as she stayed rooted in her spot. Fortunately, Mimi was able to hold both of them down before an anomaly happened.

Uno dropped to the ground and started sucking his thumb.

"Is he regressing?" Haruki exclaimed, looking at the white-haired idol with wide eyes. Pablo shook his head. "Everyone is going insane! This is all part of Ramil's plan!"

"Evil genius," Haruki muttered while shaking his head.

June then turned to Joonie, and although it seemed like he really wanted to eat, he was the one who could control himself out of everyone.

June was on the edge of sanity, but he held it in by thinking about one thing.

"We made these for the townspeople," he started off. "Ramil PD said that there would be around 50 people there, more or less. It's better to come with the right amount of cupcakes. Imagine their faces if they don't get to eat it. They're already preparing so much for us."

That seemed to snap them out of their insanity.

"I guess," Jisung said, scratching the back of his neck. "I'll just take a nap to resist the urge."

"Me too," Casper said, leaving the kitchen to go back to their rooms. "Can I lick the bowls before I go?"

June sighed and nodded.

Meanwhile, Haruki sighed in relief.

June shook his head as he heard his stomach grumble. Ramil PD was really making this into a survival show! They were at their wit's end.

The others also started leaving. Pablo was about to head to his room when June called his

name.

"Hey, Pablo," he said.

Pablo turned around at lightning speed.

"Yes?" he asked while batting his eyelashes.

"Does your camera still have space?" he asked.

"Yes, very much!" Pablo excitedly said. "I don't even have the time to take photos of you guys because we're so busy with earning everything. However, we have some free time until the gathering. Do you want me to take pretty photos of you?"

June shook his head. "I want to rest until then. Is it alright if I borrow it, though?"

Pablo pursed his lips in disappointment before nodding. "Yeah," he said. "It's in my room. Just get it."

"Thanks," June smiled and headed up to his room to grab the camera. There, he saw Joonie, who appeared to be napping.

He smirked and went out of the room before doing something.

Then, he went back to the kitchen to place the cupcakes inside the fridge while they waited for the party to start.

Haruki passed by him and decided to help him.

"Why are you doing this all alone?" he asked.

June shrugged. "The others are tired," he said. "They should rest."

Haruki paused for a moment, leaning against the wall and crossing his arms in front of his

chest.

"Aren't you?" he asked.

"Aren't I what?"

"Tired," Haruki said. "It seems like you have a lot on your shoulders."

June straightened his shoulders as he continued carefully placing the cupcakes into the

fridge.

"Does it seem that way?" June chuckled.

"Yes," Haruki said. "Even back then, it seems like you had a lot on your shoulder."

June pursed his lips and placed the last box inside before shutting it close.

"I guess," June said, leaning his elbows against the counter.

"Problems," he continued. "I think I used to have a lot of problems and burdens on my

shoulders. That's why I didn't have as much confidence. I was a pushover, and I did what I was

told to because it was the safe choice."

"However, now, my shoulders are heavy for a different reason," he said.

Haruki frowned. "Why is that?" he asked.

"My shoulders are heavy with the people I care for."

"It's not my problems anymore-but them."

EVE.

The friends he made along the way.

The people who helped him get to the top.

Minjun.

Grandma.

"But isn't that great?" June asked, smiling at Haruki.

Haruki's breath got caught in the back of his throat. He always thought that June was

amazing, but he was really on a whole other level.

"Because of them, I'm stronger than ever."

"I feel like I can destroy all the problems in the world because I have them with me."

"But you're carrying them," Haruki said.

June smiled.

"And I know they'll carry me when the time comes that I can't walk anymore."
