I’m a Genius Idol but my Passive is Sunfish Chapter 28

Of course, the status window was only visible to Baekya. Minseong asked if he was okay, but the sunfish just chanted ‘bunshinsaba’ to calm his heart.

 

[Baekya: No? I’m not okay.]

 

– The peach is angry!!!!

– You’re in big trouble now, ghostㅠ

– The kid is seriously gritting his teeth lol

 

Baekya asked the ghost if it could help him a bit. He looked as if he’d completely lost it from sheer terror.

 

[Baekya: Where’s the peach?]

 

[Ghost: …The peach?]

 

Baekya’s obsession with the peach began at this time.

 

[Course 2 Operating Room]

 

An operating table sat beneath green lighting. But there was no mannequin. The setup was slightly different from when the first team passed through.

 

[Baekya: A-a peach! A peach!]

 

[Minseong: There’s no way a peach is going to come out just because you say that…]

 

Using Minseong as a human shield, Baekya entered the operating room. As if responding to his call, the sound of a baby crying echoed through the room.

 

Waaaah! Waaaah!

 

[Baekya: Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah!]

 

Baekya suddenly started jumping in place, flailing like a freshly caught fish. Minseong’s eyes shook as he looked at him. Minseong’s gaze, looking at his fellow member, wavered. He seemed to be more afraid of Baekya than the ghost.

 

[Minseong: B-Baekya, what’s wrong… Calm down and let’s find it quickly and get out.]

 

For the first time since they had entered, Minseong showed a flustered look.

 

– [system] The peach has been afflicted with a status abnormality and can no longer see what’s in front of him

– Oh noㅠㅠ aren’t you a peach, so can’t you just leave?

– Minseong stuttered for the first time lol

– He must really hate ghosts

 

Baekya suddenly started jumping in place, flailing like a freshly caught fish. Minseong’s eyes shook as he looked at him.

 

Just then.

 

Thud-. Roll, roll.

 

With the sound of something heavy falling to the floor, something was rolling from the hallway leading to the next course.

 

– It’s a peach!!!

– Why is a peach coming out of there?

– I wonder if the production team just threw it in because he’s so pitiful lol

 

[Baekya: …A peach!]

 

There was no time for Minseong to stop him. Baekya, whose eyes had shot open, ran to the hallway.

 

But someone was also running from the opposite direction. A ghost in a white doctor’s gown was trying to pick up the peach, holding a baby doll.

 

And the moment their eyes met.

 

[Baekya: Aaaah!]

 

[Ghost: Hwaaah!]

 

[Minseong: Baekya!]

 

Not only was he thrown backward, but his tear ducts also opened. A scene of wailing began.

 

– Holy crap lol what is this mess lol is Baekya crying?!

– Ah, so funny, really lol

– Why is the ghost surprised lol

– Aah, Han Baekya is so cute, I’m going to dieㅠㅠ

– Look at him hiding the peach so it won’t get taken lol

– It’s because you did ‘bunshinsaba,’ you fool! lol that’s a spell to summon ghosts

 

[Baekya: Sob sob. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m sorry.]

 

[Minseong: Are you crying?!]

 

[Baekya: I’m not crying!]

 

The peach clutched in his arms was bruised. Baekya kept apologizing, though no one knew what for. Minseong reassured him and helped him up. His clothes were a mess.

 

Meanwhile, the ghost—apparently having dropped it by accident—kept trying to snatch the peach back from Baekya’s hands.

 

Which only made Baekya completely lose it again.

 

[Baekya: Aaaah! Get away! Get away, please!]

 

Clatter! Clatter!

 

As the two of them passed, the sensor must have been activated, because the empty operating table moved loudly.

 

Pure chaos.

 

Baekya even curled up and lay face-down on the floor. At that point, the ghost switched tactics and started tickling him. Baekya now screamed for an entirely different reason. It was pure comedy.

 

[Baekya: Hahaha! Stop! Please stop! Kyaa!]

 

[Minseong: Ah… why is my head suddenly hurting?]

 

The leader complained of a headache. He had a face that was in deep thought, wondering if it was okay for this to be broadcast.

 

[Course 3 PASS]

 

[Team 2 Escape Successful!]

 

Baekya, with a completely wrecked face, offered the peach with both hands to the gatekeeper, begging to be let out.

 

Eyes rimmed with tears, hair a mess, unknown soot smeared from rolling on the floor, and a nasal voice—when the other members saw the two exit, they burst into laughter.

 

Baekya especially looked like a disaster survivor dragged out by rescue workers, clinging to Minseong’s hand.

 

[Jihan: Pfft. Your face…]

 

[Yooyeon: Puhaha! Hey, your face!]

 

[Baekya: …Shhh.]

 

[Yulmu: Oh my~ Did you fight with a ghost in there or something? What’s with your appearance?]

 

[Minseong: Well… it’s similar. Crying and then laughing.]

 

[Yooyeon: Pfft! Hey, did you cry? Let me see.]

 

[Baekya: I didn’t cry! Ah, don’t.]

 

At Minseong’s revelation, Yulmu and Yooyeon rushed at him. Baekya, who said he definitely didn’t cry, ran away from the two who were trying to check his face.

 

And in that chaotic mess, Jihan silently patted Cheong’s shoulder.

 

– This is what happiness isㅠㅠ

– But isn’t Baekya a year older than Yooyeon? Why does he say ‘you’?

– Oh my god, the scene where Baekya gives the peach is crazy ㅜㅜ he’s so cute I almost smashed my head.. a GIF is urgently needed!

– If you cry and then laugh, you’ll grow horns on your butt! Baby, come hereㅠㅠ I’ll check for you

 

[Jihan: You don’t have to worry that much. It’s not that big of a deal.]

 

[Cheong: …Baekya is a beggar?]

 

[(Translation: his condition is terrible)]

 

[Minseong: You’ve got Yuyeon. You’ll be fine.]

 

[Cheong: I think he’s going to abandon me…]

 

Seeing Baekya’s state, Cheong was deeply worried. But time didn’t wait for him.

 

The third team entered next.

 

[Team 3, the Maknae Team, enters]

 

Cheong and Yooyeon disappeared into the darkness.

 

Once the door closed, outside sounds were completely cut off. Only cold wind noises and occasional artificial screams echoed.

 

[Cheong: …Hey! You keep your meaning.]

 

[Yooyeon: It’s ‘eui-ri’ (loyalty), not ‘eui-mi’ (meaning). What do you take me for? Just wait. I’ll get you out of here the fastest.]

 

The two’s flashlights shone on the floor. Cheong, whose fear was even more amplified by the red lighting, kept looking back with every step.

 

[Course 1 Emergency Room]

 

A broken emergency room sign hung crookedly. The red lights flickered, further heightening the atmosphere. Yooyeon, who had pulled the slightly lagging Cheong, moved into the emergency room.

 

Unlike the two teams before them, who had searched behind the beds and curtains first, Yooyeon headed straight for the desk. It seemed Yooyeon was planning to search around the desk first.

 

[Yooyeon: Where would you hide pizza?]

 

The object that Cheong & Yooyeon’s team had to find was a pizza. While they were searching for a place where a pizza might be, Cheong approached the cabinet.

 

[Cheong: …Isn’t it in a place like this?]

 

[Yooyeon: I don’t think they would have put it in a place where it’s not visible. Try opening it.]

 

Despite being scared, Cheong wasn’t suspicious. Without thinking someone might be inside, he opened the door.

 

Peek-a-boo.

 

A mummy-like ghost appeared, arms crossed over its chest. Naturally, Cheong almost fainted.

 

Riiing!

 

And as if on cue, a phone rang, startling Yuyeon too.

 

[Cheong: Kyaaaah!]

 

[Yooyeon: Aaaah!]

 

Yooyeon and Cheong were now hugging each other. In the midst of the crisis, the two friends stuck together.

 

But once the ghost disappeared, the maknaes realized how close they were and immediately distanced themselves.

 

[Course 2 Operating Room]

 

Guided by dim red light, they entered the next room. This one was bathed in green, with curtains blocking the entrance so only silhouettes were visible.

 

Since each team’s setup was slightly different, it seemed the staff had made special adjustments.

 

– Oh, it’s different from before!

– This one’s the scariest..?

– If they open that, a doctor ghost will pop out

 

[Yooyeon: There’s something like a bed?]

 

[Cheong: Nonono. I can’t go in.]

 

[Yooyeon: Then do you want to live here forever?]

 

Yooyeon grabbed the arm of Cheong, who was sneakily backing away. It was to prevent him from running away.

 

Yooyeon told him he’d count to three before opening it—a sweet deer indeed.

 

Hoo-.

 

Cheong, who had taken a deep breath, nodded. He had a very determined face.

 

As Yooyeon counted to three and pulled back the curtain, an ordinary operating table was revealed. The mannequin was also in its place.

 

On the other hand, Cheong started fussing.

 

Convinced that it was a person, he refused to go inside, saying it would move. Pressed flat against the wall, hands neatly folded, his eyes were locked on the mannequin.

 

[Yooyeon: …What are you doing?]

 

[Cheong: Oh Lord. Why do you lead me into temptation? Look down upon your young lamb… (omitted)]

 

He suddenly started to recite a prayer.

 

– His Korean is suddenly so good lol I think he’s more fluent than me

– A prayer? Here? Lol

 

Yooyeon looked at him with a rather dumbfounded expression. The deer grabbed the wolf by the scruff of his neck and began to forcefully take him away.

 

[Cheong: Let go! I can’t go! I can’t go!]

 

[Yooyeon: Shut up and follow me.]

 

A bizarre scene of a wolf being dragged by a deer was being created. As soon as the maknaes passed the mannequin, the operating table clattered.

 

Kyaaaah!

 

Cheong’s scream echoed, but Yooyeon stayed on his path.

 

Beyond the green glow lay blue light. A long corridor filled with blue lighting stretched ahead, empty picture frames lining the walls

 

Walking down the hallway with Cheong, who was still shouting that he couldn’t go, Yooyeon saw the third course.

 

– Still, Yooyeon is taking good care of Cheong without abandoning him lol

– If Cheong and Baekya had gone together, it would have been a real sight lol a wailing party for sure

– Cheongcheong.. what are you going to do about your image now? You’re so cuteㅠ

 

But then.

 

Eeeek!

 

A hand popped out of the frame and grabbed Yooyeon and Cheong.

 

[Cheong: Aaaah!]

 

[Yooyeon: Wh-what?!]

 

A new trick.

 

And for good reason, the first team, Jihan & Yulmu, had run at full speed, saying the hallway was suspiciously long, so there was no time for the ‘ghost’s hand’ to appear. And during Baekya & Minseong’s team, the hand did appear, but it didn’t get much attention.

 

At that time, it was thanks to Baekya fighting a ghost over a peach and Minseong being unfazed.

 

Still, it was a relief that the last team had a reaction that was worth the wait.

 

[Course 3 Patient’s Room]

 

To make up for the mistake that had happened to the team before them, the patient ghost, who had prepared thoroughly this time, was waiting for the last guest with the pizza on the bed in the innermost part of the room.

 

[Yooyeon: I think this is the last one.]

 

[Cheong: I want to go home… I want to go to the dorm…]

 

[Yooyeon: You said you wanted to film the reality show quickly. This is it.]

 

[Cheong: How is this a happy reality show!]

 

Under Cheong’s sulky face, a caption passed, saying that the current filming was DASE HAPPY DAYS.

 

Even the fans didn’t expect the production team to take them to a haunted house from the very beginning, but honestly, they welcomed anything as long as they could see DASE’s raw reactions.
