The Idol Who Returned from Hell Chapter 129

“I am ground self-introduction start!”

“I’m going to speed up the beat!”

“Brother Seon-woo, stop chattering and start with the introduction from the oldest!”

“Ah, sorry!”

Inside the noisy van.

CENTIX, who couldn’t stay still for even a moment without getting restless, had started their own game just 5 minutes after departing from the dorm.

I had no choice but to surrender to the voices of my younger brothers that penetrated even through my earphones.

‘…Let’s just finish this quickly and sleep.’

I Am Ground beat game. A common MT game that had been introduced frequently on variety shows.

The first round’s theme with flicking as punishment was easy-difficulty food.

“I am rice soup!”

“I am toast!”

“I am hamburger.”

“I am steak.”

“I am chicken!”

Everyone chose easy-to-pronounce 2-3 syllable words.

The shorter the length, the easier it is to defend even when multiple attacks come in.

In contrast, long and difficult words are prone to tongue-twisting when speaking.

However, that means if you have enough confidence to defend, the person attacking might get their tongue twisted instead.

I said my word with a very calm expression.

“I am Pad Phad Pong Curry.”

“Ehhhhh?”

“Pad… what did you say?”

“It exists, it’s Thai food.”

“I’ve felt this since before, but this guy is suspiciously serious about games.”

Seong-hwi, sitting right next to me, was radiating eyes filled with all kinds of disgust.

When I shrugged my shoulders once, he even shook his head disapprovingly.

If you’re annoyed, you should use a difficult word too.

The CENTIX-style I Am Ground game allowing up to 8 beats flowed surprisingly simply.

“Chicken seven!”

“Chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken! Hey, guys, I really can’t do this anymore because I’m out of breath! Steak three!”

“Steak steak steak. Chicken eight.”

“Hey Chae Ha-ru!”

Kang Seon-woo, who had chosen the most familiar and friendly food, got properly hit with concentrated fire from front and back.

While there wasn’t much difficulty in pronunciation, getting hit with continuous 7-beat and 8-beat attacks without rest made him out of breath and eventually got KO’d with an expression like he’d lost the world.

“No, but I’m really frustrated. Why don’t you guys ever attack Ryu Si-hwan?”

“I’ll be honest. I don’t even remember Brother Si-hwan’s food name.”

“The kids kept shouting chicken, so I ended up shouting chicken too. Brother Seon-woo, sorry—.”

Perhaps because I had seized the initiative with a difficult prompt, I didn’t even get to open my mouth for 5 minutes.

Still, since Kang Seon-woo had openly declared an attack like this, I thought a lot would come in this time.

“Steak two!”

“Steak steak. No, why doesn’t everyone still attack Brother Si-hwan? Chicken seven.”

“Then why do you only attack me while saying that, Chae Ha-ru?”

My Pad Phad Pong Curry was still being thoroughly ignored.

Then, as if making up his mind, Yu Ha-woon stared at me with highly excited eyes.

“Pad, Pad Phad Pong Curry three!”

“Pad Phad Pong Curry Pad Phad Pong Curry Pad Phad Pong Curry. Toast seven.”

“Ah, ahhh, to, toast!”

It was a good attempt, but a mistake came out right away.

Yu Ha-woon seemed like he hadn’t expected that I would actually defend this. The moment he saw me succeed in defense with accurate pronunciation, his pupils doubled in size.

“Again Ryu Si-hwan takes everything. I’m not playing, I’m not playing.”

“Isn’t that separate from you being in last place and trying to escape?”

“Why are you like this, Ha-ru! Why are you picking on me alone!”

“Why wouldn’t I, when you’re trying to slip away without even getting flicked when you’re being bratty.”

“Scary guy!”

The I Am Ground game ended in an instant because of Kang Seon-woo, who collapsed after getting flicked 5 times.

Just when I thought I could finally get some sleep and was taking out my sleep mask.

Yu Ha-woon, who seemed very bored, tried to move on to the next game.

“Should we play word chain now?”

“I’m sleeping.”

“Come on, Brother Si-hwan, you slept a lot yesterday too!”

“Good night.”

Thanks to my merciless strike declaration, I was able to get some shut-eye during the trip to Wolmido.

Actually, as Yu Ha-woon said, my sleep time wasn’t lacking. Rather, I was in a well-managed state, thoroughly sleeping over 10 hours every day after activities ended.

But since I know those guys better than anyone, I was just recharging my energy.

It’s obvious I’ll be tormented all day.

1 hour later. My prediction became reality.

Of course, I hadn’t predicted that both my arms would be pulled in different directions.

“Let’s ride HyperDrop first!”

“No way! That looks scary! Let’s ride bumper cars first, Brother Si-hwan!”

“HyperDrop!”

“Bumper cars!”

“…Do you really have to have an argument while pulling my arms?”

“Of course! Where you go becomes the path!”

Yu Ha-woon was dragging me while spouting strange logic. He seemed genuinely disliking HyperDrop.

In contrast, Chae Ha-ru, who had clearly shown his strong heart since the 〈Chronic〉 music video shoot, was yearning for HyperDrop.

I looked at Ma Si-hyeok with coldly resigned eyes.

“Si-hyeok, you just decide.”

“M-me?”

“If you decide and drag me, these guys will have no choice but to follow half-forcibly.”

“…Dragging you isn’t an option but a requirement.”

“Don’t make it hurt.”

Eventually, Ma Si-hyeok, who grabbed my collar, moved his steps toward the bumper cars, deciding our first attraction.

I had also expected that bumper cars would be much better since I don’t particularly like the sensation of falling from high places.

“Ram into Ryu Si-hwan!”

“Brother, I’ll drive from that side! Block the front path!”

“Going, going, going, going!”

Bang!

Bang, bang bang!

I cursed inwardly while checking my violently shaking vision.

I should have just said let’s ride HyperDrop.

This was the moment when the reason the members had desperately shouted for bumper cars was revealed.

I had thought they simply liked this because of their low mental age. But separate from mental age, they had been excited at the thought of ramming me around.

{Ma, ma, master! Drive better! I’m getting carsick!}

‘How do you think I feel.’

{I can’t control this either! Do something about it, master!}

‘How can I escape when four people are charging from north, south, east, and west.’

{Can’t we just ram into them and run? Huh? We’re all going to die at this rate!}

Cerberus, who had climbed onto my shoulder in transparent state, was already on the verge of fainting.

His tongue was hanging out limply in a rarely seen state.

Honestly, I felt like I might throw up if I got hit a few more times.

“No matter how much of a boss mob you are, you’re no match for ganging up!”

“When did I become a boss monster.”

“Right? I don’t know either. The broadcasting station PDs just kept playing weird BGM every time you appeared.”

Damn broadcasting station bastards.

I made up my mind as I watched Kang Seon-woo with a bright smile charging at me head-on.

‘Cer, hold on tight.’

{I’m already holding on tight!}

Taking advantage of a moment when Seong-hwi’s bumper car, which had been blocking me on the right, pressed slightly loosely, I turned the steering wheel sharply.

My rapidly accelerating bumper car brushed past Seong-hwi and broke through.

And Kang Seon-woo, who had been charging at me fiercely… well, he succeeded beautifully in team-killing.

“Brother Seon-woo! Why are you ramming me instead of Brother Si-hwan!”

“He dodged! Sorry!”

“I actually didn’t like Brother Seon-woo from earlier.”

“You’re perfectly positioned in the middle too!”

“Huh, huh?”

While Chae Ha-ru, Yu Ha-woon, and Ma Si-hyeok happily pounded on Kang Seon-woo’s bumper car, Seong-hwi grinned at me.

“How about we just get out, brother.”

“Good idea.”

After escaping from the bumper cars with only hair-raising memories, we had time for various snacks.

True to being guys with excellent appetite, they devoured 2 menus per person.

“Hot dogs are so delicious, really.”

“Is it because the weather’s getting chilly that fish cake tastes so good too?”

“I want to eat more chicken skewers.”

“…If you fill up too much here, you won’t be able to eat much at the restaurant later.”

“Don’t you know that snack stomach and dinner stomach are separate, brother?”

I had tried to logically prevent additional intake, but they had been collectively brain-paralyzed by street foods that were like drugs.

No matter how I looked at it, it didn’t seem like a good choice.

Sure enough. Right after eating, the next ride we chose happened to be the Viking, causing a major disaster.

“Ugh! Ah, did I ride after eating too much.”

“Br, br, Brother Si-hwan. Give me some water please—, bleh!”

“I really can’t live like this.”

Chae Ha-ru and Kang Seon-woo, who had fully stuffed their stomachs, emptied them again as soon as they got off the Viking.

I looked up at the sky with a lamenting heart while patting both their backs.

‘What kind of suffering is this on vacation.’

My face, busy with cleanup duty, was full of fatigue, but funny enough, the two guys who had gotten sick recovered livelily like a lie after 20 minutes.

“Wow, after cleanly throwing up once, my body feels even lighter! Let’s ride more and go eat!”

“Brothers, if you leave without riding HyperDrop, I’ll curse you for life.”

Only after enjoying Chae Ha-ru’s top pick HyperDrop and even the Disco Pang Pang that made our butts fly through the air enough to put most roller coasters to shame could we escape from the theme park.

“Ah, that was fun!”

“Let’s take pictures here before leaving. This is all memories too.”

“Sounds good!”

As it got dark, the theme park’s lights sparkled even more.

Perhaps because of that, the selfies taken with Seong-hwi’s camera all came out with everyone’s faces white without any touch-ups.

“…We came out looking almost like ghosts?”

“Even Brother Si-hwan looks more ghost-like with his sunken eyes.”

“Have you ever thought about whose fault it is that they’re sunken like this?”

It was getting to be meal time.

The next destination was a seafood restaurant I had searched for in advance. If I hadn’t secured a proper place, the remaining five would have spent all their time just discussing the menu.

“The night view is pretty.”

“The night sea has a nice atmosphere too.”

“So healing…”

Since the location was also near the coast, we could see the peaceful night sea while eating.

Of course, having peaceful time while looking at the scenery also ended as soon as the food came out.

Grilled clams, spicy soup, and grilled shrimp with salt.

Everyone was in chaos from the seafood party that came up enough to bend the table legs.

“Thank you for the meal!”

Delicious food next to delicious food can’t be resisted.

I was also in a hungry state from enjoying the theme park.

So the piping hot spicy soup broth felt especially rich.

CENTIX, who approached everything combatively, cleanly emptied every single plate without leaving anything.

Looking at everyone’s protruding bellies, it seems we’ll need to do thorough dieting when vacation ends.

“It was so delicious.”

“As expected, having a planning-type leader makes things comfortable.”

“What’s the next schedule, Brother Si-hwan?”

“Wait here, only Si-hyeok follow me.”

“Ah, yes.”

Leaving the rest of the members by the coast, I walked somewhere with Ma Si-hyeok.

Soon, I returned with both hands full of black plastic bags.

“What did you buy?”

“Is it dessert?”

“I really want ice cream!”

“It’s not food, you pigs.”

I lightly hit Yu Ha-woon’s head and smirked.

“If you came to the beach, you have to set off fireworks at least once.”
