From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Mei really wanted to become an idol.

That thought played over and over inside June’s mind as he lay in his bed awake.

His alarm had already gone off, but he decided to stay in bed—although it was quite against his principles.

June loved being early! However, somehow, he didn’t feel like getting up early at that moment.

Instead, he stared up at the ceiling as yesterday’s conversation replayed in his mind.

Maybe it was also because of his aching body and runny nose, but June attributed his lack of motivation to his mind.

There were too many things going on inside of his head.

“It seems like she really wants to be an idol,” June said, remembering how Mei looked yesterday night.

“I’ve always supported her since then,” he continued. “There were times when I was against her wishes, but somehow, I still caved in. Is this what they call a brother complex?”

Just then, the door opened, revealing Jay, who was already in his full get-up. He was wearing an alligator-patterned suit this time, and his hair was styled into neat spikes.

When he saw that June was still in bed, he stopped in his tracks and looked at him with raised eyebrows.

“You’re still not ready?” Jay asked.

June groaned and closed his eyes as Jay opened the windows.

“I got up extra early today because it’s your last shoot for Untouched Souls!” Jay said.

“Is it?” June asked, already losing track of his schedules.

“Yeah,” Jay said. “You have to shoot the most integral scene for your character.”

June clicked his tongue and sat up on the bed.

Jay frowned as he observed his appearance.

“You look a bit pale,” he remarked.

Then, he walked over to where June was and placed his hand over his forehead. Jay’s eyes widened when he felt June’s temperature.

“Woah, you’re hot,” Jay said, causing June to nod.

“Thanks. I get that a lot,” he said, his eyes half-shut.

“Yeah, you are hot,” Jay chuckled. “But not like that. You’re hot as in hot—like warm.”

“Oh,” June said before checking his temperature. “I guess I am. I didn’t even notice.”

“What did you do yesterday? Did you go frolicking under the rain?”

June clicked his tongue. “I guess so.”

Jay sighed and shook his head in disappointment. “You should have been more careful.”

June merely shrugged, causing Jay to pursue his lips as he came up with a possible solution.

Then, he pursed his lips. “Do you want me to tell Director Jam that you’re running a fever?”

If this was any other shooting day, then June would have agreed. However, the scene they were going to film today was undoubtedly the most important scene for June’s character!

Moreover, it would be the last scene he would film before his role was finally done, so he decided to just go.

“It’s alright,” June said, standing from the bed to take a shower.

“Are you sure?” Jay asked, sounding concerned. “I’m sure they could still reschedule it since you have a valid reason. And even if you didn’t have a valid reason, Director Jam will still permit you to do so.”

June once again shook his head.

“Yeah, it’s alright. Maybe the shower will help me feel better.”

The shower, in fact, didn’t make June feel any better. Sᴇaʀᴄh the n0vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

It actually made him feel sicker than he already was.

As they arrived at the filming site, Jay had to tap June to awaken him.

His eyes were droopy, and his skin and lips were paler than usual.

“I can make a U-turn to go to the hospital, you know? It’s quite near here,” Jay said.

June waved him off. “It’s fine. I’ve been through worse.”

With that, he got out of the car to go to their filming site.

He was greeted with cheers and farewells as he made his way to the make-up room, where the hair and make-up artist was already waiting for him.

“June!” she exclaimed. “Goodness. You should have come earlier. The other actors are already getting dressed.”

“Sorry,” June smiled with droopy eyes. “I don’t need much make-up, do I?”

“You actually do,” the make-up artist sighed as she placed some pins on his hair.

“You’re going to act very sick today, so I need to make you look less vibrant than usual. That would be a pretty hard task since you always seem so handsome and vibrant.”

However, as the make-up artist observed his face, she realized that she might not do a lot after all!

“Did you put something on your face before coming here?” she Directly support the authors on AllNovelFull!

asked.

“Nope,” June said with closed eyes.

“Did you put something on your face before coming here?” she asked.

“Oh,” the make-up artist said as she started with the process. “I guess your face is cooperating with us today. You really don’t need much make-up for your role.”

The make-up artist held up to her word since it only took June a couple of minutes before he was finished. All she had to do was lazily tie his hair and dress him in a simple white robe.

With that, he went out to where they were going to film the scene.

June was the only person they were waiting for, so they sighed in relief when they finally saw him grace the scene.

“There’s the main character of the night,” Hana said as June weakly walked towards them.

“Dang,” Taehyun said as soon as he saw him. “The make-up artist did a good job on you. You look really sickly.”

June smiled. “Well, I do need to get into character, right?”

“Yeah,” Taehyun chuckled. “The scene hasn’t even started, yet I already pity you.”

The other actors nodded in agreement. Director Jam was also satisfied with June’s look and get-up, so he quickly decided to start the shoot.

“Good morning, guys!” he greeted. “We’re onto the last hurdles of the filming, and today, we’re going to be filming the climax.”

“This will be June’s last day with us as Jian, so let’s all do our best for today!” he exclaimed, making the actors and the crew all cheer for June.

June smiled and bowed at them despite his aching body. After Lin Zhi was kicked out of the set, it seemed like their filming went more smoothly and was more peaceful, which led June to appreciate the production even more.

Although it had caused him stress and tiredness, June felt that he was still going to miss the filming—especially with the talented actors and the kind staff members.

“Thank you, everyone,” June said. “Let’s all aim for one take today!”

He said those as words of encouragement. However, it was also for his own sake. He felt that they needed to finish it in one take if he wanted to rest as soon as possible.

“Alright,” Director Jam said. “Let’s not be too sad that June is going to leave.”

Taehyun chuckled as he nudged Hana’s shoulder. “It seems like he’s the most disappointed,” he whispered, causing the latter to chuckle.

“In 3…2…1…”

“Action!”
