From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

June stared at himself in the rearview mirror just as he started the car.

Then, a small smile arose from his lips.

"Handsome as hell," June said, even pointing at the mirror and giving himself a small wink.

Then, when reality hit him, he felt like wanting to crawl into a hole and dying inside.

However, he might just get buried in a hole not long from now, so June thought that having such cringy moments would be alright sometimes.

Then, he finally stepped on the gas to go back to their dorm.

He couldn't help but glance at himself in the mirror from time to time.

The reason behind this was that he felt he looked quite familiar.

The haircut he had at the moment was the haircut he had when he died as Jun Hao.

It was his signature hairstyle—sharp dark hair that was on the shorter side.

He finally arrived at the dorm, and he ignored how the guards tried to stop and interrogate him.

With that, he went to their dorm.

It was already late in the morning, so June was sure that his members would be awake.

As he opened the door, he already heard their chaotic conversation.

"Jaeyong, this tastes like ass!"

"How do you even know what ass tastes like?"

"June should have been here to cook for us."

"Where is June? Should I wake him up?"

"I told you not to wake him up! He's a kitten who needs a lot of sleep."

June shook his head in amusement.

It was the type of noise that woke him up in the morning, but it was also the noise that he wouldn't trade for anything in the entire world.

He placed his bag on the couch before heading to the dining room.

The members had their backs turned from June. However, Casper, being the best June detector on the planet, turned to the side as soon as he felt June's presence.

He was about to speak.

However, his words got caught in the back of his throat as soon as he saw June.

Jisung, noticing Casper's weird behavior, turned to where he was gazing at.

Then, his eyes widened the same way as Casper's.

"Bro!" he exclaimed.

The other members finally turned to June, all staring at him with wide eyes.

June pursed his lips, suddenly finding the attention quite burdensome.

"You got a haircut?" Ren asked in surprise.

June scratched the back of his head.

"Yeah," he muttered. "Does it look okay?"

"Okay?" Akira exclaimed. "You look hella fine, my man!"

June smirked before shaking his head, finally relaxing.

Then, he walked to his designated spot and took a seat.

"I was worried for a second there," June said. "I thought I looked bad."

"I don't think it's possible for you to look bad," Zeth grumbled. "You can have zigzag hair, and you'd still look good."

Jisung continued staring at him, wanting to applaud.

"You look very good in this hairstyle," he said. "It's something I didn't imagine you to have, but it just looks very natural. I bet our fans are going to love this."

Jaeyong nodded in agreement. However, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Did the company allow you to change your hair?"

June smirked before shaking his head, causing Jaeyong to nod.

"It's alright," he said. "They can't oppose it. You look really good."

June nodded this time.

"I just realized that life is too short for us to dwell on such trivial things," June said, taking a sip from his water.

"Let's not take life so seriously. It's going to end anyway, so we might as well do the things that we've always wanted to do," he continued, causing the members to turn to him with raised eyebrows.

"Well, that was philosophical," Sehun said.

"It's not surprising, though," Jisung said. "Bro has always been philosophical."

"I know that," Akira chuckled. "However, that sounds like a dying man's last words."

June stopped drinking. Then, he placed down the glass with a warm smile.

"Does it?" June asked.

"Well, I'll be careful with my words from now on."

***

After days of grueling hard work, it was now time for the girls to show everyone the performance they'd worked hard for.

Mei, despite feeling down for the past few weeks, wanted to do better than anybody else.

She thought she would get stuck in the dark place in her mind until the end of the show, but somehow, meeting her current teammates and having June mentor them made her feel excited to perform once again.

With that, she smiled at herself in the mirror.

"Let's do this," she muttered before joining the other teams in the viewing room.

Meanwhile, the audience was also excited about how the performances were going to pan out.

The girls watched the scene from the monitor, watching as the doors opened and revealed their ever-handsome MC, June.

However, their cheers weren't as loud as usual, and it was because of one reason—they were speechless because of his new appearance.

Jia, who decided to watch the performances live, felt like her heart was going to jump out of her chest as she continued staring at June.

"What the heck," she muttered.

"He's so handsome. I want his kids inside me."

"If I can't be with him, then please just take me out of my misery."

"He looks so good!"

"Not a lot of people could pull this hairstyle off. June's face card never declines!"

"You're so right! Most people would look like humpty-dumpty with this hairstyle, but it just emphasizes his handsomeness even more!"

Meanwhile, the girls in the viewing room squealed as the camera focused on June.

Ara even held onto Mei's arms and squeezed it tight.

"I still can't believe we had such a handsome mentor guide us for our performance," she said.

"Say," she continued. "The two of you seem pretty close based on my observations."

"Do you think you can set me up with him?" she asked.

However, Mei couldn't respond.

As she stared at June in his new haircut, another man's face flashed in her mind—one that she wasn't familiar with.

However, this man seemed to have an effect on her heart despite her not knowing him.

Ara broke away from Mei, her eyes widening in surprise when she saw how Mei currently looked.

"Hey, why are you crying?"
