From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 979: Dear June



- DAWN becomes the number one most streamed boy group in the first 24 hours on Durian of all time -beating a 12-year record!

- Holy crap! DAWN just debuted at number one on the international album charts!

- Their album has sold all pre-orders in less than 12 hours, and there are still a lot of fans who haven't purchased theirs.

- Phoenix's stocks are at an all-time high. I'm so glad I brought some when they were cheap and had issues with their past CEO.

- This is insane, guys. The music video even has 13 million views at the moment and counting!

- The boys have broken all their records, but they're nowhere to be found.

- I think they were all tired from the showcase.

- Yeah, the album was a masterpiece, and that's why all songs are charting right now.

- DAWN, wake up! You're famous.

- It's going to be so hard gatekeeping them now.

Their fans were right. DAWN was fast asleep when all of these achievements were being made. After their music video aired yesterday, they had no time to check the reactions because they headed straight to their debut showcase.

There, they shared their performances with their fans. And since the two-hour event extended to three hours because of their endless yapping, the event ended later than usual.

After having dinner, the boys decided to sleep over in June's huge condo and drink until dawn for their new beginning.

In the end, all of them had been hammered and had only woken up in the middle of the day. June was the first to wake up, as always, and he checked his phone. His head wasn't hurting (surprisingly), but the bright light of his screen still made him squint.

He usually received a lot of notifications. However, that day, it was more drastic than usual. He frowned and sat from the bed.

However, that seemed to be a difficult task when Casper was practically strangling him with his arm. June clicked his tongue and pushed the tall boy off the bed, not really minding that there was a loud sound as his body hit the floor.

On his foot was Akira, who was hugging his leg like it brought him comfort. Once again, June had no problem kicking him away, causing the latter to groan in pain.

June then rubbed his eyes awake and looked through his notifications.

Choi Pablo: June! You bastard. How can you be so good-looking? Now, all of my friends want your contact information. I won't tell them, though. BTW, congrats on the successful debut! You just got 10x richer.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Hana: Your album is so good. I've been playing it non-stop for the past hour. The title track choice was genius. I can't wait to see you at the movie premier since I need to know more about the concept you guys used. I'll see you there!

Jangmoon: Please, please, please let me feature on your new album! Or better yet-your solo stuff. I'll be good to you, I swear!

Jenny: Yo, cousin! Your song is doing so well, and sir Pablo said you'd be richer by now. Send me 4,000 dollars.

Gun: My students are learning the choreography of your song at the moment. You made it so far, June. I'm really proud of you!

Uno: You beat us this time. The song is really good. OCTA will be sure to come up with something better next time.

June let out a chuckle at Uno's attempt to threaten him.

Angela Zhang: Your song is playing everywhere in China. I'm glad that everything worked well with your group. Because of you, I want to be more vocal about the issues surrounding Lei and become an advocate for women's rights. I'll be sure to update you when that happens. Congrats again!

June's smile widened with every message he read. He didn't think much about the people he met along the way on this journey, but now that he had reached the flower path, it felt like all of them came into his life for a reason.

Lena: Thanks for the stock raise. Now, Minjun wants to buy some stocks from Phoenix now. I won't let him.

Baldie: Listening to the song made me cry. I can't believe you made it this far. From cleaning toilets together, and now you're topping the charts. Thank you for being here for me during your past and present life. Oh, and another thing! I'm going to be meeting my son next week! His grandparents finally permitted me to visit. I'll make sure to send you photos.

June scoffed and shook his head with a smile. "I was the only one who cleaned the toilets," he muttered.

Haruto: THE SONG IS FREAKING FIRE! IS THAT THE SONG YOU WROTE IN MY PENTHOUSE? Anyway, Lei's being beaten in jail, I heard. So, that's another piece of good news. Oh, and Haruki wanted to say the song is good. He's just too much of a tsundere to text you personally.

Jia: Is this still your number? If it is, then I just want to tell you how proud I am of you. I had been there since the very beginning since you wore a mask and now that you've made it to number one. I believe this is just the start and that you and DAWN still have a long way to go. However, I want to say that I would be there to witness it all-just like I did during the beginning. Congratulations, June!

June placed his hand over his heart, feeling warmth blooming inside it. During the start, feeling warm and giddy was something he wasn't used to.

He didn't even get how people could feel such a way when there are so many bitter moments in the world. The only person worth living for back then was his sister.

However, now, June has learned how to live for himself to appreciate life for what it is.

"Life is good," he muttered.

Just then, his screen lit up once more, showing Mei Ling. He clicked on the notification right away. His eyes instantly widened, not expecting the to find a voice message along with two

words.

"Dear, June..."
