From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 990: Supporting Characters



Then, balloons popped everywhere, causing the cast to yelp in surprise.

"Yah! This is over the top!" Jumi exclaimed. She looked expectantly at the producers as they slowly closed the mansion's heavy double doors behind them.

"Seriously, what's happening?" Bangsoo asked, appearing scared out of his mind. "I don't want to be a servant in this palace anymore!"

A moment later, the main producer finally spoke, holding a scroll.

Eunho shook his head in amusement. "You guys have a lot prepared, don't you think? Do we have a handsome guest today?" he asked.

However, the main producer ignored him and unrolled the scroll before beginning to read.

"Welcome, noble guests," he started. "Today, you will compete for a grand title, a legacy beyond riches or power. Today, you will vie to become...the heir of the Bad Luck Castle!" "Ah, seriously," Shinchan said. "Did you have to do all of those just to introduce that?"

"Vie to become heirs?" Jeewoo asked. "Does that mean I don't have to be a stable boy forever?"

The producer continued. "Right now, each of you holds a different place in the royal hierarchy. Jaeduck, you are the firstborn prince."

Jaeduck sat up a bit straighter, giving an approving nod. "Firstborn? I can live with that. It's what I deserve."

Bangsoo shook his head. "Ah, I really hate him so much."

The producer moved down the list. "Eunho, you are the second prince."

Eunho nodded in satisfaction. "I should have been the firstborn, though," he joked.

"Shinchan, you are one of the royal guards," the producer announced next.

Shinchan let out a dramatic sigh. "So much for being royalty," he muttered, shaking his head in mock disappointment.

The producer continued. "Jeewoo, you're the pig pen boy."

Jeewoo threw his hands up in mock indignation. "Really? A pig pen boy?"

"And Bangsoo," the producer said with a small smile, "you're the servant."

Bangsoo groaned, rolling his eyes. "Who the heck picked these roles for us?"

The producer smiled. "These are the roles you've picked for yourselves. Do you remember how we asked you to pick pieces of paper before the end of last week's shoot?

The members' eyes widened in recognition. "Ah, so that's what it was," Jumi muttered.

"Then, that means that Bangsoo has some rotten luck," Jaeduck said.

The cast laughed as Bangsoo continued to protest.

"In today's challenge, each of you will play games centered around luck," the producer explained.

"The winner of each game will rise in the hierarchy, while the loser will fall. By the end of today, only one of you will be declared the true heir of the Bad Luck Castle."

"Wait, wait," Jaeduck said, holding up a hand. "So we can actually lose our royal status?" "Absolutely," the producer confirmed. "You'll all have to compete to keep your place."

Bangsoo looked back down at his servant's outfit with frustration. "So if I lose, I get demoted to... what, a broom?"

The cast burst into laughter again, but the producer merely shook his head.

"Oh, and there's one more thing," he added, holding up a finger. "You're not the only ones here today."

Bangsoo raised his fist in the air. "Do we have guests? Please tell me their position is lower than mine!"

"We have three special guests with us for today's episode," the producer announced. "They will join the competition as the youngest in the royal family."

Bangsoo let out an exaggerated groan, throwing his hands in the air. "So I'm not only a servant, but I have to lose to three more people?"

Ignoring him, the producer gestured towards the entrance, where the first guest was about to make her appearance. "Our first guest is known for her... unique luck."

The doors swung open, and Niki, a rookie actress from a popular TV show, walked in. She looked around the room with wide, excited eyes, waving as she entered.

The cast greeted her with excitement and curiosity, some offering enthusiastic applause. Niki gave them a shy smile. She was clearly a little nervous but thrilled to be there.

"Welcome, Niki!" Jaeduck said with a grin, standing up to give her a bow. "My wife loves your show!"

Niki laughed, taking her seat and looking around at the rest of the cast with growing excitement.

The producer moved on to introduce the second guest. "Our second guest is new to the comedy scene but already making waves. Please welcome Rowoon!"

"Ah, that guy?" Shinchan exclaimed. "We had a skit the other week. You invited him here?"

The doors opened again, and Rowoon entered, immediately performing a cartwheel that earned him loud cheers and applause from the cast.

"What the―" Jeewoo exclaimed, taking a step back in surprise.

He grinned, giving them all a confident salute before sitting down.

"Ah, he does way too much. This is my junior, everyone!" Shinchan said, laughing as he clapped Rowoon on the back.

"Setting the bar high, I see," Jumi joked, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

Rowoon just laughed, clearly enjoying the positive attention. But the producer had one last surprise in store.

"And finally," he said, "our third guest is someone most people have been curious about."

Bangsoo tilted his head to the side. "So, he's someone like me?"

That earned him a slap on the back of the head from Eunho.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Don't overdo it," he warned with an amused smile.

"Please welcome our last guest!" The producer exclaimed.

The doors opened once more, and this time, the room seemed to freeze as June stepped in. His entrance was almost surreal, the aura around him capturing everyone's attention. There was a collective gasp from the cast, followed by a moment of silence as they took him in.

"This is my first time seeing him in person!" Jumi whispered, her eyes wide with surprise.

"He's even more handsome than I imagined," Bangsoo muttered, unable to look away.

June offered them a polite bow, a small smile gracing his lips as he took in the scene. The cast members erupted into applause and cheers. Even Jaeduck looked impressed, nodding approvingly as June took his place.

"June!" Jeewoo exclaimed.

Shinchan glanced at the producers with an impressed look. "You guys managed to recruit

him?"

Even Jumi, who was never known to be excited with male guests, couldn't help but react.

"Isn't he from Untouched Souls? I loved the film!"

Niki and Rowoon glanced at each other with wide eyes. They didn't expect June to be here-

especially not after having such a successful comeback and movie.

Niki sighed. "Looks like we'll be supporting characters for the day!"
