I’m a Genius Idol but my Passive is Sunfish Chapter 40

Cheong was wearing a blue oversized short-sleeved shirt with a pattern and black leather pants. On top of that, he had a thin black choker and a silver lip piercing.

 

Having been acknowledged by Yeonha, Cheong went back to his seat.

 

The silver medalist to appear next was Minseong, wearing rabbit ears.

 

 – A rabbit, it’s a rabbit!!!!

 – I’ve seen many rabbit-types, but he really looks confusingly like a rabbit… He shouldn’t go to the zoo.

 

Embarrassed by the animal ears, Minseong bit his lip as he walked in. Cheong ran up, shouting that a rabbit had appeared, and grabbed one ear.

 

“Caught a rabbit!”

 

Minseong gently nudged the side of the brightly laughing Cheong, who then obediently let go. The chat went wild at the chemistry between the two, which suited them strangely well.

 

“Should I just sit down?”

 

“Yes. Once the others are out, we’ll eat cake together.”

 

Yeonha was already cutting the cake he had brought.

 

[Coordination Name: Bunny Bunny / Stylist: Carrot Carrot]

 

A light pink knit vest over a white short-sleeved T-shirt. Minseong, in wide-leg jeans, was heartwarming just to look at.

 

Ah, excluding the rabbit ears.

 

 – Sunbae… do you remember? On the day we first met, you gave me your pink knit because I was cold..

 – I remember… Art Department God Do Minseong.

 

The fans were busy manufacturing memories, crying out for their ‘sunbae’.

 

“Are the people inside still not ready?”

 

At Yeonha’s prompting, answers were heard simultaneously.

 

“W-we’re coming out now!”

 

“I am coming out.”

 

The changing room door opened, and Baekya and Jihan appeared at the same time.

 

‘Coordination Name: Peach’ and ‘Leashed Cat’. Baekya, who was entirely in pink except for the green beret, appeared holding the hat in his hand.

 

“Um… the hat is a bit big, and I don’t really know how to adjust it…….”

 

The leafless peach fidgeted, glancing at the camera. He was also clutching the ivory gemstone earrings, seemingly unsure how to use them.

 

“I’ve done this a lot. I’ll help you put them on.”

 

Yeonha reached out. His idol experience was palpable in that single line.

 

“Thank you.”

 

Baekya trotted over to Yeonha. He held out the green beret that would be the finishing touch to Boksoong’s coordination.

 

Yeonha, as he took it, also took the ear-cuffs from his hand.

 

“I’ll do these for you too.”

 

Since Yeonha was as tall as Yulmu, Baekhya didn’t even need to lower his head.

 

A fresh combination of AIM’s cat and DASE’s peach. The chat scrolled rapidly at the first-ever two-shot. It was mostly fans of both groups crying about how cute it was.

 

“Jihan, come here.”

 

Meanwhile, the leader looked after Jihan. Like Minseong earlier, Jihan couldn’t keep his lips still.

 

[Coordination Name: Leashed Cat / Stylist: Walking Dream Butler]

 

A black long-sleeved knit with holes and dark leather pants. Up to here, it was a very decent outfit.

 

However, something like a dog collar was attached to his neck.

 

“Isn’t this a dog leash?”

 

Cheong pulled the leash attached to Jihan’s neck. As he did, Jihan was pulled helplessly toward Cheong.

 

“……!”

 

“Whoa!”

 

Both Cheong, who pulled, and Jihan, who was pulled, opened their eyes wide. A major broadcast accident almost happened.

 

 – Ack!!! Whoa!! Is that for real?!

 – W-w-what did I just see?;;

 – As expected, World Rank #1 is different.

 

Jihan, with the corners of his eyes sharply upturned, snatched the leash from Cheong’s hand.

 

The atmosphere became somber.

 

Yeonha and Baekya, who were amicably putting on ear-cuffs, seemed unaware of the situation over here.

 

“Ahaha. I-I think we can take this off for a moment…. Someone might get hurt if they step on it.”

 

Minseong laughed awkwardly and reached for Jihan’s leash.

 

“Can I grab it for a second…?”

 

His voice was cautious.

 

The cat, made sensitive by the previous incident, glared at the rabbit with sharp eyes.

 

“G-good boy~ I’ll just take this off quickly. That would be better.”

 

The butler, approaching in a low posture, was allowed to proceed as the cat decided to wait and see.

 

Minseong, who successfully managed to handle Jihan’s leash carefully, quickly unhooked it and detached the line.

 

“Done!”

 

Just in time, the peach, completed by Yeonha’s touch, returned to Jihan’s side. But the air was a bit awkward.

 

“Did something happen?”

 

Baekya tilted his head.

 

Minseong and Cheong avoided his gaze instead of answering. Jihan pulled Baekya and sat him down in his seat.

 

“Nothing happened.”

 

Next came the final duo. It was Yulmu and Yooyeon’s turn.

 

But as soon as the two revealed themselves, the set began to buzz. Of course, the chat was in an uproar too.

 

 – Wow, my god.

 – This is crazy, this is that one! The one that got retweeted so much on SNS!!!!

 – It looks like a total pervert’s dream, I f*cking love it.

 – I think I just realized my taste.

 – Isn’t ID also a total pervert for picking this? Ha, seriously thank you so much ㅠㅠ

 

First, Thanoss’ work.

 

Yooyeon, wearing a white long-sleeved crop top and brown wide-leg pants, was covering his midriff—exposed by more than a span—with his arms.

 

“Whoa…….”

 

They had known, but seeing it in person, the two’s outfits were even more provocative than expected. Minseong’s mouth fell open reflexively.

 

Baekya, who happened to turn sideways and notice him, gently closed Minseong’s mouth for him.

 

“It’s a bit… awkward.”

 

Yooyeon, seemingly embarrassed by the style he was wearing for the first time, scratched his neck and returned to his seat. The chat was filled with madness the moment his faint abs were revealed.

 

Now only one person remained. Of course, Yulmu, as an ENFP, was confident.

 

[Coordination Name: Actually I Just Wanted to Put Him in a Harness / Stylist: Yulmu-cha]

 

As the name suggested, the sheer black blouse was clearly a reluctant pick—necessary only because the system required a top to equip accessories.

 

Over the see-through fabric, a harness gleamed beautifully. Combined with his firm body built by exercise and his skin tone, it had an incredibly erotic effect, so the fans had hit the jackpot.

 

“Ack! My eyes!”

 

On the other hand, Cheong screamed, asking what this was. The wolf cub fluttered his hands, telling the fans to cover their eyes too.

 

 – Why? Why should I?

 – You’re going to upload high-quality photos after the live, right? I believe in you, Dase-Ha-Day production staff ^^

 

With this, the newly changed DASE gathered in one place.

 

Grouped together, Yulmu and Baekya were particularly eye-catching. The Leashed Cat stuck in the middle actually looked normal by comparison.

 

“Yulmu… is that okay?”

 

Minseong’s eyes wandered.

 

It was inevitable that his gaze would go to Yulmu more than Yooyeon, who had flat-out exposed his abs—Sometimes what’s half-hidden is more dangerous.

 

“Why? I’m fine with it.”

 

“We’re not.”

 

It was an outfit where the observers were more flustered than the wearer. In the end, they reached a compromise where Yulmu would throw a black leather jacket over it.

 

The fans wept.

 

“While you were changing, I found something like this.”

 

Yeonha held up DASE’s current mini-album.

 

“It’s my first time seeing this, so I’m not sure what it is. Could you explain it?”

 

It was the album introduction corner. Since Baekya was in charge of album-related questions, he raised his hand.

 

Baekya’s face was shown in a full close-up. The album, passed through Minseong, ended up in Baekya’s hands.

 

“This is DASE’s first mini-album, and it looks exactly like the box we were in when we just came out of the factory.”

 

Baekya opened the album with fumbling hands.

 

“If you look, like this, ack…!”

 

As he opened the box, the components spilled over his knees. Baekya, who had expected at most a CD and some postcards, was flustered.

 

He didn’t have enough hands to introduce the album while picking up the fallen photocards.

 

“I’ll pick them up for you. Keep talking.”

 

Jihan picked up the photocards from the floor, and Yooyeon helped Baekya by organizing the components that had spilled onto his lap.

 

“Thanks. Oh, if you look inside, there are postcards showing what we looked like when we were packaged. If you slide it in here…”

 

When he slipped the postcard into the transparent hologram film, the doll box from the MV appeared.

 

“Cool, right!”

 

The peach looked proud. Yeonha watched him as if he were cute and gave a small laugh.

 

“Yes. I want one too.”

 

He then asked for the song introductions.

 

“Who is in charge of the songs?”

 

“Yes! That’s me.”

 

Yulmu raised his hand with a playful smile.

 

“Our title track WANT ME is a dance track that mixes tro~pical house and hip-hop. It’s an impressive sound that’s exciting and, um, full of ‘refreshingness’….”

 

The buffering made it obvious he had memorized it. Thanks to that, the comment window was being flooded with ‘lol’s.

 

“It’s a song that expresses our feelings of not wanting to be apart.”

 

Having completed his mission, Yulmu gave a nod toward the camera. His face said ‘I did it’.

 

On the other hand, Yeonha burst out laughing and briefly showed his cue card to the camera. He was clearly amused by his juniors.

 

“He really read it exactly as written.”

 

In the warm atmosphere, the chat window was also peaceful.

 

“Please continue with the B-side introductions.”

 

Yeonha added that there were five more songs besides WANT ME, such as Keyring and Leo. When he asked if Yulmu was introducing all of them himself, Yulmu waved his hand and answered.

 

“Oh, no way. We each took one fairly.”

 

Following the sub-MC’s lead to start with Jihan, who was in charge of the first track, Yeonha praised Yulmu for being reliable.

 

 – Yulmu is a confirmed variety-member lmao.

 – Yeonha is laughing a lot today ㅠㅠ I’m glad my boy looks like he’s having fun.

 – But that pink one in the middle is such an attention-grabber.. The ㅇㅅㅇ friend who stole the members’ colors.

 – I want to see the WANT ME stage soon~~

 

While the chat scrolled, DASE finished introducing their assigned B-sides. Yeonha continued the show.

 

“Hearing the song introductions makes me even more curious about the stage.”

 

Yeonha asked if they could hear one of the B-sides live on the spot. Of course, it was a stage they had coordinated with DASE beforehand.

 

“Yes, of course.”

 

Minseong gave a fresh smile, saying DASE was always prepared.

 

“Then we will let you hear DASE’s ‘Keyring.’”
