From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show
chapter-970

The screen blinked on, and the eight boys of EVE-June, Akira, Ren, Jisung, Jaeyong, Casper, Sehun, and Zeth-sat around a large table. At first, their heads were lowered, making it seem as though something serious had happened.

They had logged into June's new account, which had gained over five million followers in the small span of time he had made it.

Fans poured into the chat, the comments rolling in faster than they could be read.

-What the heck is happening?

- I'm scared.

- This feels so serious.

- Akira's shoulders are shaking. Is he crying?

- Goodness, we just got them back. Don't tell me they're taking them away from us again.

- I will literally drink bleach if that happens.

- Drink Sanipoo instead!

The tension was suffocating, even through the screen, as more fans joined, trying to figure out what was going on.

Then, just as quickly as the serious atmosphere had built, the boys lifted their heads in unison with grins on their faces.

"Gotcha!" Ren laughed, throwing his head back.

Akira snickered beside him, adding, "We had to, sorry not sorry."

- YOU GUYS ARE THE WORST!

- I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK!

- So, Akira's shoulders were shaking because he was hiding his laughter.

- I KNEW IT! SUCH TEASES!

- Disband. Right now.

Sehun chuckled and waved at the camera, "It's been a while since we did this, right?"

"Yeah," Jisung added, relaxing into his chair, "Last time we all went live together... I think it was, what, a month, two months ago?"

Zeth smiled. "Yeah! It was when we got drunk and aired out everything we didn't like about Azure! Ah, those were good times."

Jisung pursed his lips as those memories came flooding back in. "I shouldn't have brought that up."

Jaeyong, the leader, chimed in with a wide smile, "We missed you guys! Can you believe it? We're all back together!"

The fans erupted in excitement.

- Finally!!!

- EVE IS BACK TOGETHER!

- JUNE, OMG, I MISSED YOU ALL SO MUCH!

- You guys don't understand. This is my family. I see them more than my parents. This is so important

to me.

- Never lose hope, guys! EVE is back together.

- Just cancelled my order of rope and a high chair.

Akira leaned in closer to the camera, winking, "We're finally out of the hellhole, Azure!"

Jisung's jaw dropped, eyes wide with horror. "Can you even say that?"

Jaeyong sighed and massaged the bridge of his nose. "Akira," he warned.

Akira shrugged, laughing. "Well, Phoenix owns Azure now, right? So, technically, I can.

Besides, Jay is so busy that he won't even watch this live!"

The rest of the boys shook their heads, stifling laughs at Akira's comment.

Ren added, "It's still crazy to think about. Looking back on it, it felt like everything moved so fast. However, the dark days were long-it really was."

Zeth nodded. "I'm sure you guys had a hard time, too. So, we decided to come on here to surprise you all!"

Casper leaned back and crossed his arms, putting on a thoughtful expression. "You know, speaking of surprises, I think they'll like what's coming tomorrow."

Suddenly, the boys turned to Casper in panic.

"Casper!" Sehun nearly shouted, his hands flying up. "What are you doing?!"

"What?" Casper blinked innocently. "I'm just saying!"

Jisung groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. "We talked about spoilers before coming on here. They weren't supposed to know!"

- What's tomorrow?

- NEW ALBUM??

- Casper, don't let them silence you, king.

- Please tell us more. I feel like my life is in a drought.

"It wasn't even a spoiler," Casper said, scratching the back of his head. "They already know we're working on an album and that we're going to have a comeback. Our song is really good, too. I didn't even tell them our title track, which is-"

June reached over and covered Casper's mouth. "No more spoilers," he said.

Casper tried to fight off June. "But it's a good spoiler!" he protested, throwing up his hands. "Like, a really good one."

- Omo. My delusions are coming back.

- #JunePer is sailing. I miss them bickering so much.

- Guys, don't ship real people.

- They're making it very hard not to!

- Casper and June are married.

June shook his head and leaned closer to the camera before whispering, "Pretend you didn't

hear anything, okay?"

- Oh, what is this POV?

- Alright, daddy. Whatever you say.

- Whisper to me more, June.

- How does he look this good?

- How can I have a normal relationship now?

- I hope June is real.

"June does look really good," Jisung said as he read the comments.

"What's new?" Akira sighed. "We get to see it every day, yet I'm still shocked. I swear, he

didn't look like this when we first became friends.

Zeth took this opportunity to jump in front of the camera, his face filling the screen as he posed dramatically. "What about me? Am I not good enough for you guys?"

The comments burst into laughter.

- ZETH, PLEASE!

- WE LOVE YOU BUT...

-Sorry, June's just too much today!

June smirked, leaning casually against his chair. He raised an eyebrow, his expression playful

but dangerous. "Oh? Am I distracting everyone?"

"Yeah," Ren teased, nudging June, "Stop using your looks to derail the live!"

The group burst into laughter, feeding off the energy of the fans. It felt like old times again,

their natural chemistry flowing effortlessly. It had been a long time since they were able to relax like this with their fans, and it felt...right.

But then, as the laughter began to fade, June's expression changed. He leaned forward, a bit more serious now. "Actually," he began, his tone steady but softer, "there's something important we need to tell you all."

The mood in the room immediately changed as the other boys also straightened up, their smiles fading into more thoughtful expressions. The fans, noticing the sudden change, began

flooding the comments once again.

- WAIT, WHAT?

- What's going on?

-You guys are scaring us again.

- This is cruel. Is it a serious matter after all?

- I don't think they're joking anymore.

Jaeyong took a deep breath and addressed the camera, his voice calm but serious. "We know

it's been a crazy year. So much has happened, and I'm sure you've all noticed the changes in our group. Things weren't easy for us. We've been through a lot, and we didn't expect our lives to become so intertwined as they did."

He glanced around at the others, a soft smile tugging at his lips. "Being part of EVE meant everything to us. We built something special together, something we're proud of. But...it was more than just the music. It was the friendships, the brotherhood. I never thought I'd be so lucky to meet a group of people who'd change my life like this."

The fans were already emotional in the comments.

- I'm not crying, you are!

- EVE forever!!

- DON'T YOU DARE SAY GOODBYE!

- Is this really the end?

- The rope and the high cart have been added to my cart again.

Jaeyong's expression turned more serious as he continued. "But...everything has a season. And sometimes, we have to say goodbye to the old to make room for something new." June, who had been quietly watching Jaeyong, finally stepped in. He smiled at his members before turning to the camera. "We know how much EVE means to you. It means the world to us, too. But..." He paused, taking a deep breath. "It's time to say goodbye."

The comment section was filled with curses and capital letters, and the members were no

longer able to read them.

- NO NO NO NO!

- YOU CAN'T END EVE!

- PLEASE SAY YOU'RE JOKING!

- This is all Azure's fault. Who wants to send a truck in front of their building?

- Girl, Azure is under Phoenix now!

Jaeyong quickly raised his hands to calm everyone down, a small chuckle escaping him.

"Whoa, whoa, hold on! We're not disbanding."

Ren grinned, leaning into the camera. "Yeah, calm down, guys. We're not going anywhere."

June smiled, his expression softening. "What we mean is, we're saying goodbye to

EVE...because we're starting something new."

Casper leaned in. "You ready for this?"

Sehun, trying to hold back a smile, pointed at the camera. "You guys are the first to know."

Jaeyong took a deep breath, locking eyes with the camera. "From this moment on...we're no

longer EVE."

The boys looked at each other, nodding, before Jaeyong continued.

"This is a new beginning for us."

The fans were still confused.

- Then, what are you, guys? My husbands?

- My boyfriends?

-My pets?

-My kinks?

- Goodness, gracious. You guys are so unserious.

- Is this a new era?

- Just tell us!!

June smiled, looking relieved. "It's time for a fresh start. We've been through a lot, and we've

come out stronger. This is just the beginning of something even bigger."

Akira leaned back, crossing his arms with a grin. "We're excited. We hope you guys are, too."

Jisung added with a playful wink, "And maybe Casper's spoiler will make more sense tomorrow..."

The group laughed, the tension lifting as they began teasing each other again. The fans were

still confused as to what was happening, but with Jaeyong's next statement, it all made

sense.

"The light of a new beginning," Jaeyong started off.

Then, the rest of the boys followed. "DAWN has come! Hello, we are DAWN!"
