From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 254  Dear June

Chapter 254  Dear June

Akira glanced at Jaeyong, fully expecting him to cry. However, a small smile was on his face, causing Akira to sulk.

<nulli>Does he really only cry because of June?

After that, Jisung was shown next. It wasn't too hard to guess who he left his message to.

"Hi, bro!" he exclaimed with a wide smile. "June was the very first trainee I spoke with on the show. I was so nervous during the auditions, and I thought I wouldn't be making any friends at all. However, I was glad I chose the spot right next to you! Thank you for being my best bro in the competition. Let's debut together soon."

June glanced at Jisung, who had a warm smile. June smiled slightly before looking away.

Now, Zeth and Ren were simultaneously shown on screen, causing the others to tease them.

"What's this? A K-drama?"

"It looks like they're going to confess each other's feelings!"

Zeth and Ren acted disgusted, but it didn't take a genius to see they were happy to have picked each other for their messages.

"Umm, hey, Ren!" Zeth started off. "It's always been comfortable speaking with you. We've already known each other for four years, and those times have been a blast. I wish we'd spent a few more years with each other. Not as trainees…but as idols."

"Hey, Zeth," Ren was now shown fully. "Fighting with you is exhausting. Let's not do that again," he chuckled. "Well, I just want to take this time to thank you for everything we've gone through together. You haven't left my side since then, as annoying as that is…"

The room burst into chuckles.

"But I don't mind your presence at all," Ren smiled. "Let's debut, number one prick."

After those two, Casper was shown on screen.

"June," Casper said, causing June to raise his eyebrows in surprise.

<nulli>Why would Casper send him a message?

They haven't even known each other for too long. They've also only performed one stage together!

"Hi," Casper shyly said. "If trainees could vote, then I would vote for you a hundred percent."

The room was silent for a while, but then the trainees burst into laughter.

"Are you coming out as June's fan or something?" Zeth asked, slapping the back of Casper's head.

Casper looked away, ignoring their teases.

In truth, Casper just really missed Luther.

After that, the other trainees were shown too. Then, Sehun was shown on the screen, shyly scratching the back of his neck.

"Umm, he's probably not expecting a message from me," he started off. "But hey, June! It's been a while. We only performed once, but I still dream of that performance."

"That's the third message June has gotten."

"Damn, he's popular here, too."

Meanwhile, Lin Zhi cracked his neck joints in annoyance. A lot of the trainees had already been shown, but he still hadn't received a message.

"As cheesy as this may sound," Sehun chuckled, "but you made me realize my dream once more. Before our performance, I was anxious with every stage I dealt with. But after that, I gained a more positive outlook. Thank you for showing me that I truly want to become an idol."

June looked down at his lap, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the messages he had received.

However, it wasn't over yet.

Because C-Jay was next shown on the screen.

"I wanted to send one to that tree-like trainee, Jangmoon, but he's gone now, so I'll send one to my greatest idol, June!" C-Jay said before looking into the camera.

"That's the fourth one already!"

"June's really made his mark among the trainees, hasn't he?"

Lin Zhi pursed his lips in anger. It was getting harder to control his facial expressions, but since a camera was filming him directly, he had no choice but to keep a neutral face on.

"I still remember when you scolded our zero-star team for losing hope all too quickly," C-Jay chuckled.

June shook his head, vaguely remembering their past conflicts. During that time, June thought they were the greatest enemies he'd have to face.

But they turned out to be his great friends instead.

"Being in the zero-star class, I really thought I was bound to go home. Now, I still can't believe that I'm part of the top 20. Every time I wake up, I feel like I'm stuck in a dream. However, I realized that if I can stand during the finale, then a lot of people can."

"June made me realize that," C-Jay chuckled. "From being in zero-stars together to now being in the finale…you've really made such a great impact in my life, bro. Let's walk together toward the debut stage. Thank you for snapping me out of my misery back then!"

"Love you, bro!" C-Jay shouted, causing the others to laugh in amusement.

June reciprocated C-Jay's smile, causing the latter to beam.

Since four people had sent their messages to June, they were looking forward to seeing June's video message. However, the screen turned black, signaling the end of the video messages.

"What the heck?" C-Jay exclaimed. "Where's yours, bro?"

June shrugged. He wasn't interviewed at all!

At that moment, the interns looked at each other in horror.

"We forgot June!"

Ann would have never made that mistake.

The others, too, sighed in disappointment since the video messages were now over.

They started fixing their things, preparing to leave the room when the screen suddenly lit up again.

"What's this?" Johnny asked.

In the past seasons, it usually ended after the video messages were over.

However, a new compilation was shown on screen—some footage they hadn't seen before.

Then, a video of Zeth, who looked a bit innocent compared to his current looks, was shown.

"Hi, I'm Zeth, a trainee of Top Star Entertainment. I'm going to be rapping today."

"Wait," Zeth said loudly, his eyes filled with horror. "Not my preliminary audition!"

The trainees laughed at Zeth, amused by his humiliation. However, their laughter quickly died when a collage of introductions followed after Zeth's.

<nulli>'Let's take it back to the start!' the screen showed some text.

'I present to you—the auditions of the trainees before they become a part of Rising Stars!'
