From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

794  Duck, Duck, Goose

"Thank you so much for attending the event," Mr. Kim said, sincerely shaking each member's hands.

The charity concert was over, and the audience was being escorted out of the venue. Thanks to Haruto's team of hitmen, the concert proceeded without any mishaps. "That was a great show," Jia sighed, feeling like she was reborn as a new person. Bora nodded in agreement, unable to speak. The people who had been waiting outside enviously stared at those who were able to attend the charity concert. However, they also couldn't help but feel confused when they saw their swollen eyes. "What happened over there?" Inside, the members of EVE decided to stay a little while as they prepared some food for the children and the volunteers. The bountiful food was laid on the table in the garden while children happily ate and played. The members of EVE stood at the corner, just observing everything. "This is nice," Jaeyong muttered, his eyes still swollen from the crying session he had a while ago. Casper nodded in agreement before turning to June. "Thank you for fighting for this," he said. "We would have missed out on it if you let Mr. Ong get his way." June smiled and was about to take the compliment when Jay popped up from behind them. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"It's thanks to Lei, too!" Jay chimed, startling the members. "Ah, right!" Jisung exclaimed. "Wasn't he the one who convinced Mr. Ong to let us do this?" "Indeed, he was," Jay proudly said. "He even took some time during his work to help me with the preparations. Isn't he just a bundle of joy?" The other members nodded in agreement. Speaking of the devil, Lei's voice was heard in the garden, capturing the members' attention. "Guys!" he exclaimed. "Let's play!" The boys snapped their gazes at Lei, finding him forming a circle with the children. The members turned to each other before nodding excitedly. "Let's go!" Akira said, running to go to where they were. The other boys chuckled and also joined in on the circle. "What are we going to play?" Jaeyong asked. "We're playing Duck, Duck, Goose!" one of the kids said. "Ooh, I loved that game when I was younger," Ren smiled, sitting next to a random kid. The boys spread out, and June found himself sitting next to the boy who wanted to become an astronaut—Junkyu. "Does everybody know how to play the game?" Lei excitedly asked. There was a chorus of agreement from the crowd, but one person found himself freezing up. "Duck, Duck, Goose?" June muttered, unaware of how the game worked. June had never heard of such a game before! Was it a rhyming game? Or something that had to do with animals? "It sounds stupid," he whispered. However, Junkyu was able to hear him, making the kid turn to him with bright, wide eyes. June quickly looked away and focused his gaze on the grass. He really didn't know how the game worked. To be fair, he didn't know a lot of childhood games. It was because he was forced to become an adult at an early age that he didn't really find himself engaging in the games that his peers usually did. In short, June had a short childhood. However, as he looked around, he realized that he was the only one who appeared like he didn't know, so he kept his mouth shut. "I'll get it after the first round," he muttered, sitting up straight and appearing more observant. "Who wants to be the first 'it?'" Lei asked, looking around. Junkyu excitedly raised his hand, so Lei called his name. "Here you go," Lei said, handing him an expensive-looking handkerchief. "I'll play some music!" Sara exclaimed, taking the initiative to play EVE's first album through the speakers. The members chuckled in amusement while Junkyu began circling around them. June watched him intently, following his every move. 10:43

"June's cheating!" Zeth exclaimed. "He's following Junkyu's movements!" "So, you aren't supposed to do that," he whispered. With that, he stuck his gaze to the middle, only following Junkyu through his peripheral vision. "Duck!" Junkyu cutely said as he tapped Ren's head. June frowned. "What is this?" "Duck," he said for another time, tapping a child's head this time.

"They're not doing anything," he muttered, continuing to observe him. Although June didn't know anything about the game, he felt the atmosphere intensify.

Junkyu circled around them with a mischievous smirk. June felt that something grand was going to happen soon. With that, he straightened his shoulders. He still didn't know how the game worked, but just as long as he wasn't the victim, then he would be fine. He was a fast learner. He'd know soon enough! However, as Junkyu got closer to his position, he realized something. "I have bad luck," he muttered. With that, just as Junkyu passed him, he turned around and found the handkerchief behind him. The others gasped in surprise. Sara, who was watching from the side, also covered her mouth in shock. "What the heck?" she exclaimed. "He caught that so fast!" The other boys turned to each other in amusement. "As expected," Jisung said. "Bro has the best instincts!" Akira sighed and shook his head. "He's even good at this game?" Their statements were proven wrong, however, when June stood and stayed still, holding the handkerchief in his hand as Junkyu darted to his previous seat. "Why isn't he running?" Jay muttered. June pursed his lips and wondered what he needed to do. "Fuck," he whispered. He should have known that he would be the first victim because of his bad luck!

"What are you doing?" Casper asked loudly, capturing June's attention. "June, you're the goose!" Akira said, his eyes wide with frustration.

"I'm...the....goose," June muttered, the realization suddenly hitting him. With that, he placed the handkerchief over his shoulder and positioned his arms by his side in a folded position—like he had little wings. The members of EVE's eyes widened in horror. "Oh no," Akira muttered. "He definitely doesn't know this game," Zeth chuckled. With that, June started flapping his wings and making goose sounds. They all turned silent, and Junkyu even stopped running to look at what June was doing. Akira pursed his lips and shook his head. "His looks saved him this time, really." I find this funny yet sad at the same time! June never had a proper childhood. It's good that he's playing like this with EVE. SandKastle
