From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 534 Thirsty for EVE



Chapter 534 Thirsty for EVE

"I have a bad feeling about this," Ren said as the crew set up the equipment before them.

The members of EVE were now in a small studio where they were going to film a popular series on Stupefy's channel named 'Artist Reading Fan's Thirsty Posts!'

It was a straightforward title, so plenty of people, even non-fans, clicked on it to see the artists' reaction to such unhinged posts.

"What do you mean?" Zeth asked, a wide smile on his face. "This is a great way to interact with our fans."

"Great way, my ass," Akira muttered. "You like this because you enjoy people thirsting over you."

Zeth raised one eyebrow as he turned to Akira.

"You're acting like you don't."

A small smile appeared on Akira's face as he gave Zeth a high-five.

"You know I do," Akira chuckled.

Jaeyong shook his head at the two of them. "You guys are hopeless."

"Remember to act naturally, okay?" Jaeyong advised. "Don't overreact too much and try not to look too uncomfortable to avoid any speculation."

"Can I keep a poker face on?" June raised his hand.

The members turned to him. The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))

"A poker face is your resting face," Sehun deadpanned. "I think you're fine."

"Are you ready, boys?" the head producer excitedly asked as they finished prepping the equipment.

They were being filmed by numerous cameras, and a huge monitor was right before them to show the posts that the crew had picked out.

Jaeyong turned to his members and nodded.

"Yeah, we're ready!" he enthusiastically said, causing the producer to clap in excitement.

"Let's start then," she said, already expecting the video to be a great hit.

"In 3…2…1…, we're rolling!" she exclaimed, sitting right next to the large monitor with the other essential crew members.

"Shoot to the top! Hello, we're LEVEL-UP! Otherwise known as EVE," Jaeyong led the greeting while the others made their group gesture before simultaneously bowing.

"Today, we're here in Stupefy's studio to film one of your most favorite video series," Zeth started off.

"You naughty, naughty fans. Why do you like these types of videos?" Akira asked, pointing an accusing finger to the camera.

Sehun shook his head as he chuckled. "Anyway, we're going to be reading some of your…interesting posts about us on Navel."

"But before we start," Zeth quickly added. "Don't forget to check out our album 'Starlight' and our title track 'Skyrocket' on March 27th! It will be available on Stupefy and various platforms!"

The others nodded in agreement.

"And with that, let's read the first post!" Jaeyong said.

The crew showed the first post, and the members instantly froze. They knew they said they weren't going to overreact, but the first post was already too shocking.

Ren elbowed Jaeyong's shoulder so he could read the post out loud.

"Umm, I want to get ruined by all the members of EVE. Yes. All. Members. All. At. The. Same. Time,"

Jaeyong slowly read, feeling his soul get sucked out of his body.

"Goodness," Jisung squeaked, covering his eyes.

Zeth chuckled awkwardly. "Well, that's a nice way of telling us we're handsome."

"Yeah," Sehun scratched the back of his head. "Thank you so much for appreciating our group."

June frowned in confusion, wondering where his teammates were coming from.

"I don't think this user is calling us handsome, though," June deadpanned, causing the members to turn to him with wide eyes.

"Oh no," Akira muttered.

They nearly forgot that they had an old man in their midst. Despite June's social media skills improving as time passed by, he still didn't know a lot about slang and other trends.

June turned to the camera and seriously looked into the lens.

"You do not want your life to be ruined, young lady. It's alright to like our group, but don't like us too much to the point that it destroys you. Focus on yourself, too…and finish your studies if you can," he seriously advised.

The room was silent for a moment, the crew members wondering if June was joking or not.

Nonetheless, they found it funny, and they decided to keep the clip in the video no matter what.

"Oh, I hope this doesn't make it to the actual video," Jay whispered as he watched from the side.

"Let's move on to the next one, should we?" Jisung shakily asked. "I'll read the next one!"

The staff showed the next post, and Jisung quickly regretted his previous statement.

He thought the first post would be the worst one out of the bunch, but the crew managed to find a post that was more unhinged than the last one.

"Call me little mermaid because I'm always wet when I watch EVE?" Jisung read.

"Oh goodness," Ren said, scratching the back of his neck. "You guys sure like us a lot, don't you?"

"Thank you," Zeth said, even bowing to the camera. "It's an honor to be given such a compliment."

Ren shook his head. "You're enjoying this too much, aren't you?"

With Ren's statement, the atmosphere in the room became lighter. They realized that they shouldn't be too stiff while reading the posts. They can just think of them as jokes!

"Please step on my neck, June," Ren read another post.

They turned to June once more, curious about his reaction this time.

"Are you all sadists or something?" June asked. "Being stepped on the neck is no fun at all."

"It feels like you're drowning even when you're not submerged underwater. Moreover, it's a very slow way to die. You feel your body being deprived of oxygen second by second until you lose consciousness."

"Aside from that, being stepped on by someone else is very dirty," he pointed out.

Again, the room turned silent.

"Aigoo," Akira said, patting June's shoulder. "Our lovely June always takes things so literally, doesn't he?"

"I'm just giving them advice," June said.

Jaeyong shook his head with an amused smile. "Let's read another one."

The next post emerged from the screen, and this time, it had a different vibe from the rest of the posts. The members pursed their lips as they read it silently.

Casper, however, didn't hesitate to read it out loud.

"I hope in the next music video, we'll get to see the members kissing each other. We love a polygamous relationship!"

"Gosh," Jaeyong whispered.

Why did their PR team agree to film this video?
