From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show-Chapter 829: The Hottest Rising Boy Group

The man definitely didn't look amused.

Despite some of the boys being gym buffs, they felt like they couldn't hold a candle against the bald man.

Moreover, it seemed like the other customers inside the restaurant knew the man very well, and they turned to the members of EVE with inquiring and suspicious eyes.

"June," Jisung shakily said, finally snapping him out of his daze.

June looked up and saw his members looking at him with wide eyes-like they were asking for help.

Then, he turned to the side, where the scary man stood, his eyes also widening in surprise when he saw who it was.

"Chen Chen?" he exclaimed, remembering the man's name.

The burly man frowned as soon as the stranger mentioned his name. The other boys also became even warier, wondering what June was going to pull.

"How do you know my name?" Chen Chen asked.

June shook his head as he looked at his large figure. It felt like yesterday when Chen Chen only reached up to his chest. However, he towered over him now!

"I saw you on the news," June said, knowing that their restaurant was popular because of their original recipes and that they've been featured plenty of times by food vloggers, critics, and even one of the American Presidents.

June knew Chen Chen on a personal level before, though, but he decided not to divulge such information.

"Oh," Chen Chen said, his expression softening. "Thank you. I saw you guys looking toward my way, so I reckoned that you wanted to order."

June nodded. "We'll have the whole roast duck, two servings of Jiaozi, and the spicy hotpot. Can we also have the Jiang Jiang Rousing and the spicy braised chicken feet? Yeah, I think that would be enough."

"Oh, lastly, some sugarcane juice for all the boys."

Chen Chen smiled in satisfaction. "It seems like you know our best dishes here, brother. Do you come here often?"

June shook his head. "No, not really. We're from Korea. I just admire your restaurant a lot." Chen Chen's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh wow! I didn't know that our restaurant was that popular. Well, I'll have the dishes ready in no time. Just hang still with the other brothers." June nodded and sat back down, now facing his anxious teammates.

"What did he say?" Akira asked. "Did he want to pick a fight?"

"Pick a fight?" June asked. "Why would Chen Chen do that? He's a sweet guy. He just wanted to take our orders."

"Sweet guy?" Zeth asked. "He walked so menacingly toward us just now!"

"That's just how he is," June said, brushing their comments off.

"It still bothers me how June knows so much about this place," Ren whispered.

Jaeyong nodded in agreement.

June smirked, crossing his arms in front of his chest. "Maybe I lived in this country in my past life."

The boys turned silent for a few moments before bursting into chuckles.

Casper raised one hand. "But I do think it's possible."

"Anyway," June said, clearing his throat and changing the topic.

"Chen Chen is really sweet. In fact, the people here are all pretty kind. The restaurant has been open for more than 90 years, courtesy of Chen Chen's great grandpa, and it was originally catered to the people in the neighborhood."

"They served great food at a cheap price to help people who couldn't afford such meals. As years passed by, they became more popular because of the quality of the dishes. However, their price increase had been reasonable thus far, and it's still frequented by the neighborhood because of this."

"Chen Chen, over there, is his father's apprentice and is working to inherit the business. Although he's only 18 years old-"

"What?" the boys couldn't stop themselves from shouting, drawing the attention of the other

customers.

They quickly bowed for the noise and turned to June with wide eyes.

"He's only 18?" Sehun whisper-shouted.

June nodded. "Yeah, he's pretty famous on Weibee, too."

Zeth leaned back against his seat and let out a deep sigh. "I can't believe I got scared by an 18- year-old."

Just then, Chen Chen came back with a trolley full of food.

"Brothers, here are the things you've ordered," he said with a wide smile. Looking at him like this, he actually looked like a cute 18-year-old.

He placed the food on the table, and it was then that the boys realized why the restaurant was always full.

The scent of the meat, herbs, and spices wafted over their senses, making them even hungrier than they were.

"I added a dessert on the house," Chen Chen said, making June beam.

"Thanks, bro," he said. "We'll enjoy it well."

With that, the boys started removing their hoods to eat the food that had been given to them.

As soon as the first dish hit their taste buds, the boys became enamored, and they ate like they had been starved for days.

"It's spicy, but I like it so much," Jisung said.

"What's this? It tastes so good yet healthy. I don't feel guilty eating this," Zeth added.

"I knew it," Ren muttered. "June really has the best taste."

June's eyes also widened as he tasted some of the dumplings. Although he had already tasted such dishes before, he still couldn't shake off his amazement.

There was a reason why it became his favorite restaurant in Beijing in the first place!

The members of EVE continued to eat without a care in the world, oblivious to the attention

that they were currently getting.

"Oh, what a group of handsome young men."

"How can we be blessed so early in the morning?"

Chen Chen, too, froze in his tracks as he looked at the handsome and beautiful face of the

brother who had ordered from him.

He was the epitome of an angel!

Chen Chen felt touched that someone like him admired their restaurant so much.

However, as the chatter increased in the restaurant, Chen Chen began to realize that these

handsome men were not ordinary citizens.

"Wait-have you seen Jayden Chou's Post yesterday?"

"Aren't they the kids that he posted?"

"Oh, the one who performed 52?"

Chen Chen quickly went to the angelic brother and patted his back, interrupting his meal.

"You're EVE! You guys are the hottest rising boy group in the country!"
