From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 500 Big Boy

Chapter 500 Big Boy

So....

That 'thing' that people were talking about was actually his bulge.

He dropped his phone to the ground, in shock of what he was seeing.

His teammates weren't fazed by the sound and kept their eyes on the screen.

The editing team really milked out the footage as they even panned the camera from June's face to his bulge.

"Are we sure this is family friendly?" Akira asked, not being able to tear his eyes away.

Then, as it panned up to his face, June's light brown eyes reflected the clear, blue waters, causing them to look more seductive. Afterward, a shot of him running his fingers through his hair was inserted, and the romantic outro started playing, increasing his handsomeness by a thousand points,

"Again! Again!" Casper exclaimed.

Akira followed his command earnestly as he went ahead and replayed the scene.

June saw the translucent trajectory above the video bar, and there he saw that it was the most replayed scene in the entire video.

Akira fumbled, though, and he accidentally exited the video, showing the current views that the episode had.

June's eyes widened when he saw that the episode nearly had two million views.

Two million people saw his bulge.

It was only uploaded last night, yet so many people had watched it already.

Jisung turned around and saw June standing behind them with an agape mouth.

"June. You're here?" he exclaimed, genuinely not knowing that June was watching from the very beginning.

"Did you know? Your bulge is trending online!" Jisung added with a wide smile.

June was still yet to recover from the shock. When he saw the word 'Bulge' on the trends list along with the drama name this morning, he didn't think much about it.

However, in the end, it was about him.

Just then, the door burst open, showing Jay who appeared like he didn't get any sleep.

However, once he saw June, he brightened up, a wide smile appearing on his face.

"There's our big bulge boy!" he greeted, patting June on the back as he sat with the members of EVE.

June cringed once he heard his nickname.

He thought 'ball boy' was the worst, but now, it seemed like another nickname took the cake.

"Were you erect—"

"We're not going to be talking about that," June said, glaring at his members and finally closing the topic.

He sat along with his members, his eyebrows still furrowed in case someone brought up the topic again.

Thankfully, it seemed like they weren't going to bring it up anymore, so he eased his expression.

"Why are you here so early again?" Jaeyong asked. "We were about to head to the recording studio."

"Like June said last night, you guys shouldn't leave the dorm without my guidance," Jay said. "Besides, I have some good and bad news for you guys."

"Hit us with the bad news first," Zeth groaned.

"Well, as I had predicted, the higher-ups of Azure doesn't want the matter with the sasaeng being broadcasted to the public. They said that it wasn't good publicity for the comeback."

June thought like so in the beginning, too. However, now that he thought about it, not only will it shed light on the issue and possible help halt it, but it would also direct the public's attention to them, which was going to serve as publicity for their upcoming comeback.

"Is that really the reason?" June inquired. "Isn't Azure a fan of publicity no matter what form or shape it takes?"

The other members nodded in agreement.

Jay sighed. "That's what they said. But I think its deeper than that. Since it concerns one of their esteemed buildings, they don't want the public knowing that the security of their artists in the dorms are shitty. In the end, I feel like they don't want their incompetence to be shown to the public."

"That's what I think too," June said.

"What's the good news then?" Sehun asked, already feeling bummed.

"Well, it seemed like they felt bad for you after I showed them the footage of what happened and the extent of its damage, so they decided to set up your very first fan meeting!" Jay exclaimed.

The members' eyes widened since they didn't expect the news at all.

"Really?" Ren exclaimed. "At this point of time?"

Aside from their music show and debut stage, they haven't gotten the chance to have an intimate meeting with their fans.

"It has been in the talks for a while now, but the company pushed it back due to your appearance on King of Kings. However, now that you're free, they believe it'll be good to meet your fans up close!"

"The people who bought the most albums will be the ones invited to the fansign!"

***

The boys were gathered in a small conference hall, only able to hold about fifty people.

The fans who bought the most albums were lined up outside, armed with their albums, banners, and expensive photocards.

Jia looked around and sighed when she saw plenty of June's photocards slung on people's bags. She was still bitter after getting a blank photocard despite buying more than fifty albums.

Still, it brought good luck, though.

Just not to her.

"Make sure to get his signature, okay?" Jia said, massaging Bora's shoulders as she settled at the very back.

"Yes," Bora sighed. "I'm going to ask for all of their signatures anyway."

"Get an extra one just for me," Jia insisted. "I know you're going to keep June's signature to yourself too."

"You're not wrong about that," Bora smiled. "Fine, I'll get an extra one for you. You should have used your account to buy all those albums. Then, you could have been the one in my place right now."

"You have the most money in your account," Jia remarked.

"You're not wrong about that," Bora repeated.

"I don't even know why you're longing for his signature when he knows you," Bora said. "By the way, you still haven't told us how you guys met."

Jia sighed, ignoring her latter statement. "It's different. I'm still a fan despite him knowing my identity."

Bora patted her back and smiled at her pitifully.

"Such a good fan you are. Other fans would die for June to know them. They'd probably exploit the fact, too. I know I would."

Jia shook her head. "You definitely wouldn't. We're decent people no matter how judgmental we are."

"That's what judgmental people say to make them feel better about themselves," Bora deadpanned.

"Oh, shut up, let us have this moment," Jia said.

"To all the fansigning participants, please proceed inside. Keep a straight line and follow your seating arrangement," an employee said as she peeked her head outside.

"That's our cue," Bora said.

"Don't forget—"

"Yes, yes," Bora smiled. "I'll get his signature."

"Good," Jia said. "Have fun out there!"

The line started moving and Bora went in along with the other participants.

Jia sighed and smiled happily as Bora made her way inside. Instead of feeling jealous, she felt quite happy to see her friend meet her most favorite idols.

She just wished she could have gone with her, but it was still a happy moment.

Jia was about to leave, but halted when she suddenly smelled a familiar scent.

"It's that stale scent again," she muttered.

"It seems like its following me wherever I go."
