From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 1038: The Greatest Love



Chapter 1038: The Greatest Love



"So, what are we going to do now?" Mei asked, looking awkwardly around the room.

It was already late in the evening, and they had just finished their respective practices with their group. They were already tired, but of course, the grind never stops.

The two didn't know how to start the conversation, and the fact that they had to sing a love song out of all songs was just appalling to them.

"Can you answer me?" Mei said in frustration.

June pursed his lips and ran his fingers through his hair.

"I don't know," he sighed. "What do you want me to say?"

Mei clicked his tongue. "We've already been given this opportunity in the first place. We can't do anything but accept it."

"I know!" June said, sounding annoyed. "I hate Jay for choosing this song, though."

"I don't think he chose it," Mei said. "Why don't we look at the lyrics?"

June nodded and went closer to Mei, who had the lyric sheet in her hands.

The title of the song was- 'The Greatest Love.'

The title alone was enough to send shivers down June's spine. It was a love song that a woman had written for her husband when he died. It spoke of the sentiment of someone's love

transcending through life. It was also about loving someone even more when you realized they were gone.

In conclusion, it was a sad love song that lovers offered to each other during funerals.

They read the first set of lyrics and shook their heads in unison.

"Oh, I can't do this!" Mei exclaimed. "Why do we have to suffer through this?"

"That's what I've been saying," June sighed. "Should we go to Jay and ask him to let the TV station change the song?"

Mei nodded and stood from the floor. The two of them walked toward the door but stopped when they got near. For a moment, the two of them were silent. It seemed like there were a lot of thoughts running inside of their heads.

Going out of the room and complaining to Jay would mean one thing-they weren't up for the challenge.

And, of course, the universe knew just how competitive the siblings were.

With that, Mei turned around with a sigh.

"Fu just popped up," she said, walking back to her spot and taking a seat. "It's my mission now-to finish this performance with you."

June groaned and sat in front of her once more. "He's a menace, really."

[What did I do?]

[I didn't give you a mission!]

[Tell June I didn't give you a mission! I don't want him to think I'm a menace.] However, Mei stayed silent. She looked at the lyric sheet once more and sighed. It was true that she didn't want to sing it with June. In fact, she didn't want to sing the song with anyone! It was a legendary song for lovers, and as an idol, she always thought she wouldn't be able to pull it off.

Yet, at the same time, she wanted to take on the challenge. June had been a part of many great stages, but she had only experienced performing with her group. A grand opportunity has presented itself right in front of her!

More so than that, it was guaranteed to be a hit-especially since she was going to perform with June. As much as she didn't want to admit it out loud, June was basically a cheat code when it came to performances.

However, even then, she still didn't know how they would sing this duet without cringing. "I think we need to ask ourselves first," Mei said after a while. "What is your greatest love? Have you ever experienced something like that?"

June placed his hand under his chin. And then, it hit him all at once. What was the greatest thing he had done during his life? How far did he go for love?

Well, there was only one answer to that.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He joined a gang to feed his family.

He didn't eat, so his sister could.

He even let himself get transmigrated into the body of a failed trainee and then listened to a flamboyant, (slightly) evil system, all while trying to become the best idol in the country.

Much more than that, he fought his past enemies, all while confronting his present ones. He lost his loved ones along the way, and he developed some trust issues, too.

He gained some new friends-a family, even. He garnered fans from all around the world even if he hadn't met them in person. He was able to star in a movie and a drama by channeling his inner struggles.

He was also able to avenge his past self from the people who did him dirty. Subsequently, it didn't only bring benefits to himself but to an entire industry...one that he was still trying to change until this very moment.

Much more than that, he realized why he was here in the first place.

The dreams he had buried all along, and the desires he didn't dare say out loud because he thought he didn't have the luxury to-it made him think that life wasn't so bad after all. There was going to be a rainbow after the rain-no matter how cliche that sounded.

Mei looked at him like he had gone crazy. June has been silent for a few minutes now, but it seemed like he was thinking about a lot. His face contorted into different emotions all at

once.

"That's why you're also an actor," Mei muttered.

"June," she called his name, but he was still in a dazed state.

June had realized it now.

All of these he didn't do out of spite or hate...or revenge. He did it out of love.

He did it to save his sister.

He did it to keep the family he had.

He did it so he could achieve peace within himself.

He did all of it because he wanted to.

And that was his greatest love-all of it boiling down to one person-the very reason why he

started this crazy adventure in the first place.

"My greatest love..." he muttered, finally uttering something after a couple of minutes.

He lifted his head, only to be met with Mei's curious and weirded-out gaze.

He let out a deep breath before finishing his statement.

"...is you."
