From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 819: Don't Leave, EVE



-So, he's fluent after all?

-Goodness. I'm dying at the Zoom-ins. He's so handsome.

- I didn't notice a while ago since I was so focused on his talent, but he really is handsome, right?

- I used a VPN to be able to watch June, but I still missed his performance. Then, I came to the comments and found other competitors for his heart. I can't do this anymore.T

hose at the tent were also surprised, turning to each other with wide eyes.

Even Robbie, who thought that he knew a lot about EVE, was perplexed. Not only was June handsome, talented, and popular, but he could also speak multiple languages.

"Life is unfair," Robbie muttered.

Meanwhile, the members of ELEV8 who spoke ill of the members during their hair and make- up time, turned to each other with horror-filled eyes.

"So, he could understand us all along?" he muttered.

"Why did he act like he couldn't then?" the other whisper-shouted.

Meanwhile, Aaron shook his head in disappointment.

"That's a lesson for the two of you," he said, causing his members to cast their heads to the ground.

Angel, on the other hand, felt like an electric current coursed through her veins. The more she observed June, the more she felt that she had met him before.

"Well," David said, clearing his throat. "It seems like you know quite a lot about China, young man. Are you perhaps mixed?"

June smiled.

Well, he was—in his past life, that is.

"No, sir," he politely said. "I'm just very interested in your culture."

The other boys looked at June with wide smiles, feeling proud of their member.

"You're a bright young man, aren't you?" Dave chimed. "I appreciate how such a talented person appreciates our culture."

June bowed respectfully.

- Can this guy get even better? He's like the definition of perfection!

- Welcome to the club. That guy doesn't have any flaws.

- Correction! He has severe bad luck. However, at the end of the day, his charms all makeup for it.

- I'm already researching everything about him and his group as I speak.

"Now, I just have a few questions for you," David started off. "What made you want to perform 52?"

June translated the question since he didn't want to be the only one to be speaking.

Jaeyong took the initiative to answer the question.

"Well, it's a song that my mom likes since she's a huge fan of Jayden Chou. Then, it turns out that June knew the song, too. We weren't too familiar with the lyrics, but June explained it to us. We loved the message, so we wanted to perform it in front of all of you."

June translated his answer, and the hosts exclaimed in amazement.

"Wow," Dave muttered. "I guess Jayden's Chou's popularity exceeds borders, huh? Well, you guys did a great rendition. I nearly cried along with David. In fact, I want to watch it all over again."

David nodded in agreement. "Why is it that you didn't sing the song live, though? It didn't take anything away from the performance, but I'm just curious."

June answered this time.

"The group wanted to give tribute to the country without disrespecting it. We were short of time since we only heard that we would be performing here a week ago. Since we also had other schedules, we didn't have enough time to learn the intricacies of the song."

"With that in mind, we decided as a whole to just have me record the song so we could focus better on our emotions as we danced."

David and Dave looked at each other, their heads tilted to the side in curiosity.

"Did I hear that right?" Dave asked. "You were the one singing 52 in the recording a while back?"

June pursed his lips and nodded.

"Yes," he said. "I hope I did the song justice."

Once again, chaos erupted in the venue. The tent was filled with chatters after June's

revelation.

"That was his voice?"

"He's better than me."

"I don't want to perform anymore."

"We should have performed before them."

Jayden already had a hunch that the handsome young man was the one who sang the song a while back, but he was surprised nonetheless.

"I want to talk to him later," he said with a fond smile.

"This group is becoming more and more interesting as we interview them," David said.

Dave nodded in agreement. "Well, even though we want to talk with your group all night long, I'm afraid that our time is limited. With that, can we have two members say their last words to the audience?"

Akira took the microphone this time. He smiled energetically, and the crowd found him

adorable.

- And who's this puppy-like guy?

- Why is this group filled with so many gems?

- I swear, they're all going to be the death of me.

- Not Akira, too!

"Thank you so much for the opportunity! We were scared at first since we didn't want to be thrown at with tomatoes, but it wasn't anything like that! I'm very happy that we performed

at this festival!"

June shook his head in amusement before translating his statement.

The crowd and the hosts also chuckled.

"Does the festival have that kind of reputation?" Dave chuckled.

"Alright, one more person."

Akira passed the mic to Jisung, and once again, the comment section went insane.

-And this baby. He looks the youngest and squishiest.

- His eyes are so pure! I have already adopted him as my child.

- Do you think he likes older women?

- He does, but he's already taken...by me.

- Please stay away from Jisung.

"Thank you for watching our performances. We came here not only to show our talents but

also to portray your incredible culture. I hope this won't be the last time we will see each

other. We'll make sure to come back!"

June translated once more, and the audience felt touched.

- Please come back.

- In fact, don't leave, please.

- Yes, stay here. We'll treat you well, boys.

-You guys changed your heart so quickly.

- I already love the EVE boys.

With June's last translation, David and Dave made their way to the center of the stage.

"Once again, that was EVE!"

With David's statement, the field burst into loud cheers.

The members of EVE, who were already on their way to the tent, turned to each other with

wide smiles.

"We did it!" Jisung happily exclaimed.
