From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

[Dance: S-] They did quite a lot of preparations for this day. They finished their jacket shoot in the morning. Then, in the afternoon, they attempted to perfect the execution of their title track. Afterward, they practiced the choreography of 'Luster.' However, it seemed like they were still stuck on the chorus, none of them being able to come up with any choreography. Not only that, but they also tried practicing 'Skyrocket' and 'Luster' one after the other, and to sum it up, June struggled to keep up with his breath. With him being the main vocalist, he felt like he was being limited. It was true that he had learned a lot of stability techniques from Magic Mama. However, he realized that his dancing also affected his stability. So, with that, June ultimately decided to join Mentor Gun's dance class for the night. He glanced at his phone and confirmed today's schedule. 5 PM: Intermediate

7 PM: Advanced

9 PM: Beginner

June tried to make it into the advanced class. However, the group insisted they go out for dinner. Therefore, he arrived at the studio at 9 PM. "I'll be back at exactly 10:30 PM!" Jay exclaimed from the car. "Don't take too long since we have an important shoot for tomorrow." "Got it," June said, adjusting his mask and hat as Jay sped into the distance. Then, he stood in front of a three-story building, gazing at the signage on the first floor. 'TRIGGER' June was familiar with the dance studio since they were well-known for curating choreographies for K-pop idols. Aside from this, they also posted dance covers in their studio on YouWatch. They're even one of the leading dance studios in terms of views!

He stood outside the door, which looked very sleek, and hesitated to enter the room. It was already a few minutes past 9 PM, so the class must have started already. Moreover, this was a beginner's class, and June honestly didn't know how to classify his dancing skills. Sure, he had S- skills, but his knowledge and background in dance weren't any better than that of a beginner. He had only started dancing not even a year ago! So, with this in mind, he knocked and waited for someone to open the door. Inside the room, Gun and Katana, looked at each other in confusion. Gun did a quick head count and confirmed that all of the registered applicants were already inside the room. "Is somebody else from the crew coming?" Gun asked, confused. The fifteen students in the class were also confused as their warm-up session was interrupted. "Not that I know of," Katana answered. "Tank already went to Azure this morning, so he's resting. Dagger is in Japan with his family. Meanwhile, Missile is busy going on another blind date," she whispered. "Hmm," Gun hummed. "Must be a walk-in client. Why don't you tell them that all slots are already filled up for the night?" Katana nodded and went to the door. She twisted the knob and opened it, revealing a semi-tall figure wearing all-black clothes. He didn't look familiar, so she inferred that he truly must be a walk-in student. "Are you planning on joining this class?" she asked. The man nodded. "Did you register online?" The man paused for a moment, then he shook his head. Of course, June didn't register online. Gun told him he could come any time. The woman gave him an apologetic smile. Katana felt pretty bad since his eyes were very pretty. She wanted to teach a handsome student!

"Umm, I'm sorry. This class is only for people who have registered online. If you want, we can register you for the upcoming classes for the following days." June shook his head. He didn't know if he would have any free time for the next few days. "It's alright. Thanks," June nonchalantly said, about to leave. However, Gun halted the warm-up once again when he recognized the voice. Gun snapped his gaze to the door and found the familiar figure leaving. Without any hesitation, he ran up to the man and held onto his wrist. "June?" he exclaimed with wide eyes. Katana's eyes also widened. She acknowledged that his eyes were handsome, but who would have thought it was June—the multi-talented idol of the 5th generation!

"I—I," Katana stammered. Meanwhile, the students inside the room craned their necks to get a better look at the situation. June finally removed his cap and mask, causing an uproar inside the room. The nine girls turned to each other and gushed as they were graced by the handsome man. Meanwhile, some of the boys were somehow displeased. Nonetheless, they were amazed as June stood before them, his face shining among the rest. In the room of average-looking people, June truly stood out.

Some of them wanted to bring out their phones, but their gadgets were stuck in the locker outside of the room. Gun and Katana continued looking at June with wide eyes, in disbelief that he was in their beginner's class. "So, uh, what do you do in here?" June asked, finally breaking the silence.

Gun cleared his throat and stepped back. "You actually came?" he asked, sounding touched. "Yeah," June nodded. "You told me I could come any time." "Of course," Gun exclaimed. "You're always welcome here. I just didn't expect you to come as early as now." June scratched the back of his neck. The action sent another uproar in the room. June was much more handsome up close—even if he was just doing simple actions!

One girl shyly raised her hand. "Umm, are you sure you're in the right class?" she asked. "This is the beginner's class." June nodded. "Yeah. I started dancing around nine months ago." The students chattered, wondering if June was telling the truth. The people who had seen his performances before couldn't believe that he had started dancing around the same time as them. One man, who had been dancing for a little over three years and hadn't seen June's performances before, smirked to himself. He was already confident with his dancing skills, and the only reason why he was staying in the Beginner's class was because it was the only one he could attend with his current schedule. 'Looks like I'll be the best dancer of the day,' he thought. "Why don't we start?" Gun asked, already feeling excited to teach the class. "Is it alright if we go ahead with the class? We already warmed up," he said to June. June nodded without any hesitation and went to the very back. He didn't have anyone in his row, which he was thankful for. "Since we are celebrating girl group week, we will be learning a fun dance song from an upcoming girl group!" "Let's all have fun learning 'Boom Up!' by MOOMOO!"
