From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show
chapter-37

All the teams had been formed, and it was time to pick their songs.

"Let's go with CHAOS," Zeth said. "They're the most popular group right now, and all their songs are hits.

His group mates nodded in agreement.

"I hope we get their song Daybreak," Ren said. "It has a lot of cool elements that we could play with."

"Let's avoid GIRLS' EVOLUTION at all costs," Leo said. "I don't think we should do a cute concept on the first mission."

A series of agreements were heard.

It was clear that CHAOS was the most popular out of all the groups, and C-Jay also wanted to perform a song of theirs.

"Who's good at running here?" he asked.

Nobody responded.

"Oh, come on, guys. I have the shortest legs here. How about you, Jangmoon? You're the tallest here," C-Jay said.

"I have asthma," Jangmoon sheepishly said.

C-Jay glanced at June and was about to ask him but quickly shook his head. This big brother helped him so much already! He should only sit still and look pretty while the other members run for a song card.

"You do it," C-Jay said, patting Minx's back.

Minx looked at him with wide eyes.

"You're the youngest, right? You do it. Grab a CHAOS card for us, alright? I'm sure a 16-year-old has the best stamina out of all of us."

Hoon scoffed, still bitter that he was chosen into a team with four zero-stars. For him, the last team formed is even better than this one!

Minx was already shaking in his boots. Ever since he joined the competition, he had lost confidence in himself. And now, he was given such a big responsibility.

June felt bad for the little kid. Once again, he was reminded of himself when he was younger. This kid doesn't seem like he's ready for the idol life yet.

Since June remembered that this guy helped him accomplish one of his missions, he patted his back.

"It's alright, kid," he said. "You could grab anything that's available."

Minx nodded, thankful to the masked guy that he always thought was weird.

On the other side of the room, Jaeyong's team was conversing.

"I have a group in mind already," Jaeyong said.

"We're listening," Casper said.

"What do you guys think about choosing a GIRLS' EVOLUTION song?"

Daeho's eyes widened in surprise. "GIRLS' EVOLUTION?" he asked. "Are you alright, brother? Do you think we'll fit their cutesy concept?"

"It's a controversial pick," Jaeyong said. "More people would tune in if we pick such an artist. Besides, not every song from GIRLS' EVOLUTION is cutesy. Their latest comeback is hip-hop inspired."

There were still some hesitance within the group, but with Casper's utterance, everyone listened closely.

"Jaeyong's right," he said. "We could create a more iconic stage with an unexpected song. I'm confident we can make a girl group song work by adjusting it to our style."

"Alright," the other trainees started to agree.

"But what if we're unlucky enough to get a cute song?"

"I'll run," Casper said. "I suggested it, so I'll take responsibility for it."

The team decided to place their trust in Casper.

"Alright, will the chosen trainees please come to the line? Like every other season, the cue cards will be chosen through speed!" Minho said through the mic.

The trainees lined up and waited until the signal was given.

Minho blew the whistle, and they scrambled to get to the music cards. Zeth, with his tall and lean physique, led the pack.

He took the CHAOS card, which put off the other runners. They wanted to pick the CHAOS card, but they also didn't want to compete with the Avengers team.

"Take ROMANTIX!"

"Take CRXSS!"

They shouted to their teammates. The group scrambled to get to the other boy group songs.

Casper, on the other hand, walked calmly to GIRLS' EVOLUTION. He looked at the two cue cards and placed his hand under his chin.

After thinking for a while, he took the blue card and walked back to his teammates.

"Where the hell is that little kid?" Jangmoon asked.

"I don't see him," C-Jay said, squinting his eyes to get a better look.

"There he is!" Bin said, pointing at Minx, who was currently on the floor.

June pursed his lips. He felt bad for the kid, but at this point, he also felt bad for the team. The choices were getting snatched left and right.

And before they even knew it, only CHAOS and GIRLS' EVOLUTION were left on the board.

The guy representing the last-formed team stood in front of the two choices with hesitancy.

Minx, on the other hand, was still recovering on the floor.

"Get up!" Hoon exclaimed. "Take the boy group song!"

"Take CHAOS!" C-Jay screamed.

Minx got up and started running toward the cards.

The other group discussed among themselves. It was a tough decision since both songs were going to be performed by the best teams.

Avengers vs. Justice League

"Can we go against Zeth?" one of them whispered.

"Definitely not. But we can't go against Casper too," another said.

"Then again, it's better to perform a boy group song."

"Take CHAOS!" they screamed.

Minx was shaking as he ran, and he could see the CHAOS card within his reach.

However, just as he reached his hand to take their card, the other guy quickly snatched it from the wall.

And Minx fell to the ground once again.

His teammates collectively sighed.

Looks like they're performing a GIRLS' EVOLUTION song.
