From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Showchapter 491: our precious, his precious daughter

491 Our Precious, His Precious Daughter

The members of EVE smiled victoriously as they held the finished product in their hands. "Finally," Zeth whispered, feeling like his body was going to drop at any given time. "Our precious," Akira creepily said, stroking the laptop with his index finger with a wide smile. Ren stretched his arms and felt his back crack in five different places. He groaned and slumped on the table, finally being hit with sleepiness after the long night. "I can't believe we finished it," Sehun said, also looking out of it. The members of EVE stayed up for more than 24 hours so they could finish the song they needed to present in front of the producers. They had to sacrifice their time, effort, sanity, and a little bit of their soul in the process, but it was all worth it. As the sun peeked through the curtains, hitting Akira's forehead with a dash of sunlight, the man quickly cowered in fear and even made a sound that strangely resembled a hiss. The others, too, groaned out of annoyance as they felt their heads hurting after hours without rest. They all looked like zombies fresh from an apocalypse. However, one person stood as a sharp contrast among them. Despite not drinking coffee or energy drinks or even relying on sugar to boost his energy, June appeared like the person who had the most rest among them. In fact, he even looked like he got eight hours of sleep! The members stared at him as he listened to the song with his earphones. Then, a collective sigh escaped their lips. "The world is unfair," Akira muttered, finally allowing himself to lie down on the cold, hard floor.

"It's officially done," June smiled, now feeling more relaxed than ever. After King of Kings, they were pressured to create a song in three days' time. Because of this, June hasn't been getting any sleep. Aside from naps here and there, he felt like he didn't have the luxury to sleep. Now, he felt like he could finally rest. The laptop screen turned black, and June saw his reflection on it. Surprisingly, he still looked very fresh, making him smile. It seemed like his visual aspect was really putting itself to work.

Then, as he gazed up at his teammates while removing his earphones, he nearly got the biggest scare in his life when he saw their ragged looks. "Can we sleep now?" Ren asked. Suddenly, the door opened, revealing a very happy Jay holding a box of donuts and warm soya milk on the other hand. "Rise and shine—holy mother of gremlins," he exclaimed when he saw the members' current situation. He placed the box of food on the table, and they crawled to eat like hungry zombies, eating greedily and gulping at an alien-like pace. Jay continued to watch them, perplexed by what happened. Then, he turned to June, who appeared like a beacon of light amidst the carriers of darkness.

"Well, you look fresh and nice," Jay said. "Thanks," June smirked as he accepted the compliment. He elegantly took a donut from the box and ate gracefully like the king he was. Jay continued observing the boys, his eyes widening when he realized they were in the same position he had left them during the night. "Wait," Jay said. "Did you guys not get any sleep?" he asked. "Nope," Jisung said with a popping 'p' sound, crumbs falling off his mouth. "Gosh," Jay sighed. "The comeback period hasn't even started, yet you guys are already like this." "It's alright," Ren said. "We were able to finish the song." "Yeah," June smiled. "Do you want to hear it?" He wanted to see the look on Jay's face once he realized that the meowing sounds could, indeed, be turned into a hit song. "I'll just listen to it at the studio," Jay said. "We're going to meet with the producers later anyway." "Right," Akira said, his mouth filled with sugary goodness. "What time was that again? Is it in the afternoon? I was planning on getting some sleep before the meeting." "What do you mean?" Jay asked, even chuckling. "It's this morning, silly. That's why I came around and brought you guys some breakfast." "What?" the members exclaimed. Ren, who had a mouthful of soy milk, splattered it all over the person in front of him, who unluckily turned out to be Akira. "Yeah," Jay smiled. "Get ready within an hour so we can get there on time." ***

"I thought you said they'd be here already," Akira deadpanned, feeling like he was aging drastically at the moment. Jay clicked his tongue and looked at Ted's latest messages. "Well, Tiddy Bear told me he was here. I guess he was lying after all—" "Tiddy bear?" a voice suddenly asked, causing Jay's eyes to widen. There, in the producer's booth, they saw Ted cleaning up the equipment. The members' eyes widened since they didn't notice his presence when they entered. He then made his way out and continued glaring at Jay. "Well?" Ted asked.

"My…cat," Jay quickly made up an excuse. "My cat…Tiddy Bear. Isn't it a cute name?" "Now, why would your cat tell you that he'll be here?" Ted frowned. "It's just this roleplay thing we have. I miss my cat from time to time, so the members of EVE act like he's her with us," he chuckled. "We're crazy like that, you know?" "Yeah," Casper excitedly chimed. Ted looked at them with subtle disgust. "Yeah, you sure are crazy," he muttered. His expression, however, lightened up when he saw Mari walk through the door. "Good morning, guys," she smiled, her gaze instantly going to June. She pursed her lips to keep herself from smiling too much since June appeared even more handsome today. It seemed like he got plenty of sleep—which Mari was delighted about. Ted was about to greet Mari with a very happy, very sweet 'good morning' when the door suddenly opened, revealing another person.

Collective gasps filled the room as they were graced by the presence of a woman with what seemed to be a lot of experience. "Minzy?" Ren whispered, making the members even more surprised than they already were. Indeed, it was one of the senior producerd of Azure Entertainment who had ventured into other idol companies, and none other than Mr. Ong's daughter—Minzy Ong.
