I’m a Genius Idol but my Passive is Sunfish – Chapter 67

Author: LyraDhani

<Hello! Cleopatra (S)>

: The vocal range you can use increases by five keys.

“Five keys?!”

As expected of S-rank. It was incredible.

Since it said Cleopatra, he thought it would be an ability related to talent or visual like ‘Fatal Charm’. Unexpectedly, it was a vocal skill.

‘But what does Cleopatra have to do with vocal range…?’

He knew he shouldn’t question this unknowable trash game, but he couldn’t erase the suspicion that the game was made too carelessly.

<Concept Master (A)>

: Concept digestion power 1,000%

It was a name that reminded him of a certain quest that made the word ‘Master’ come out of his mouth. Just thinking about that day made him kick his blanket several times even in his sleep, but for an idol, there was no skill as useful as the title of Concept Master.

However, if there was a concerning part, it was that percentage.

‘It’s probably just an extra zero attached by mistake, right…?’

Deciding to think positively, he moved on to the next skill.

: Clumsy dancing ability.

Should he buy a lottery ticket today? Baekya couldn’t control his twitching lips. Even though it was clumsy, it was a rank higher than ‘Coma’.

‘So what if I’m a bit clumsy!’

Touched as much as when he first saw the S-rank, the sunfish teared up.

Following that, the last skill.

: Understanding of fans increases significantly. (However, while the skill is active, you must lend your body to a K-Pop ghost wandering the netherworld.)

That sounds terrible, so let’s just pass.

“I am reborn today.”

Taking a deep breath, the Sunfish moved on to the skill equipping stage.

Lv.11 Baekya (Synchronizing)

Visual: A

Vocal: S

Dance: C

Talent: A

‘At this rate, won’t I become a genius idol soon?’

Baekya, having brought up the status window, couldn’t hold back the laughter leaking out and kept smirking.

Although a large hole called <Clumsy Clumsy (C)> was visible in the middle, due to the halo of the <Hello! Cleopatra (S)> rank and <Concept Master (A)>, he was in a state unable to make objective judgments. Seeing him, Cheong frowned and circled his finger next to his temple.

“Is Baekya crazy? He’s acting weird.”

“I’m not crazy.”

Flaring up, Baekya glared at Cheong with narrowed eyes.

“So easy to read. Right?”

The sunfish was the type whose feelings showed plainly on his face, so the members also noticed that Baekya’s expression had improved since coming back from the joint stage practice yesterday.

“Was it fun yesterday?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Must have been fun. You came in totally excited with a grin from ear to ear.”

Yooyeon stuck right behind Baekya and tugged at his hair. Annoyed, Baekya shook his head to free his hair and detached his back from the chair.

“Go away. I’m going to sleep.”

“Do you like the members you met for the first time yesterday more than us?”

“What are you talking about. Compare things that can be compared.”

Suddenly remembering Harang, Baekya became a little sullen. Yulmu, who would usually chime in around now, had fallen asleep next to him, so the car was quiet.

Among the members drafted for the special stage, Baekya was the last to return, and for the first time he crawled into bed actually complaining about how tired he was.

‘He fell asleep as soon as he got in the car, so I thought today would be a bit comfortable.’

Since Yulmu was quiet, this time Yooyeon was tormenting him.

“Can you please stop being obsessing over me?”

“No. I won’t stop.”

“Aack! Why are you being creepy, ugh!”

Yooyeon hooked an arm around Baekya’s neck from behind, pulling him close like a chokehold. When Baekya squeaked, Yooyeon clamped a hand over his mouth and lowered his voice.

“You’ll wake everyone up.”

“Mmmph!”

Baekhya widened his eyes, silently protesting why that was somehow his fault. He tried to pry Yooyeon’s arm off, but a hamster’s little pawing was useless.

“Fighting back there?”

At the noisy presence, Namkyung checked the back seat through the rearview mirror.

“You guys have good energy. Everyone else is knocked out, but only the three maknaes are alive.”

Freed from Yooyeon, Baekya lowered his eyebrows, feeling wronged, and tattled to Namkyung.

“I want to sleep too, but they keep bullying me!”

“Is the hamster a tattletale?”

“He is a tattletale.”

Cheong and Yooyeon giggled and teased Baekya.

“Leave the kid alone.”

Namkyung took his side with a pitying face. Laughing at the slightly annoyed, frowning face, he suddenly opened his lips again as if remembering something to say.

“Right. Guys, looks like you’ll be moving.”

“Moving?”

Cheong, who’d been rolling up a tissue and tickling Baekya’s ear, yelped as Baekya grabbed his hand and twisted it without looking.

“Ahhh! Stop!”

“AIM is organizing their dorm right now, you see? Starting last year, one or two moved out to live independently, and only three were using it, but with Shiyoon going to the army this time, the other two are moving out too.”

With DASE’s recent popularity, the company had decided to hand that dorm over to them.

“So we’re moving?”

“Where to?”

“…You gangster hamster.”

Yooyeon, also interested, stopped teasing Baekya and quickly stuck to Namkyung.

“Sky Castle.”

It was a name he had heard a lot somewhere. It sounded like a place where you’d have to study really hard or something… And then his disastrous pull from before flashed through his mind.

<Sky Castle (C)> – Special

: You will move houses.

A skill that disappeared as soon as pressed without any effect. That skill’s name was Sky Castle.

“They say all the luggage will be out by early January, so we can probably move in around mid-January. I’ll let you know when details are set.”

Since the move was confirmed, Namkyung advised them to organize their luggage little by little. Yooyeon and Cheong answered in chorus, delighted.

“And Baekya.”

“Yes?”

“They’re going to repair the balcony railing today. Still, it’s cold so try not to go out if possible.”

Suddenly talking about the balcony? He wondered, but since it was a place he had no reason to go except when spinning gacha, he nodded obediently.

“Yes.”

“If you have any hardships, tell me.”

But with the people around him repeatedly telling him to speak up about hardships since last time, the sunfish sensed something suspicious. Baekya examined the rearview mirror with suspicion-filled eyes, but there was no big harvest from Namkyung meeting his eyes calmly.

“I will. But right now, I have no hardships other than these guys.”

Baekya pointed at Cheong and Yooyeon.

“Right… Please get along.”

Meanwhile, DASE arrived at the company. Lately, DASE had been clocking in almost every day. Even though it was a weekday afternoon, a crowd of fans had gathered outside.

“This is bad.”

When a few fans recognized DASE’s car and rushed over, Namkyung slowed down looking troubled.

“What? Where is this?”

Minseong, waking from sleep, looked around outside the window in a daze.

“We’re here. Wake up.”

Eventually, Baekya, who couldn’t sleep a wink, took care of the leader and prepared to get off.

DASE safely entered the office building with the help of Namkyung and the security team. But Yulmu’s face was unusual.

“…What? What’s wrong with you?”

Yulmu looked half-dazed, as if he’d taken a serious shock. Then he answered in a grave voice.

“Someone touched my butt.”

“Oh dear.”

Jihan lamented briefly. Cheong, finding such Yulmu funny, laughed while slapping his back.

Namkyung, grabbing Cheong by the scruff and tossing him to Minseong to clear him away, patted Yulmu’s shoulder and offered a consolation that was at least somewhat comforting.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

No matter how much Namkyung paid attention, there were limits in crowded places.

“I know you feel dirty, but what can we do. Your seniors all experienced the same thing.”

“…..This?”

“I’m sorry, Yulmu.”

At Namkyung apologizing repeatedly saying he’d pay more attention next time, Yulmu quickly relaxed his expression. Patting his shoulder once more, Namkyung then informed them of today’s schedule.

First, there was a recording for AIM X DASE’s <VIVA Remake Project> with the JAMA filming team, and additionally, there was filming for the DASE official fan club announcement video.

“Since there’s some time left until the filming team arrives, let’s shoot the fan club video first.”

At the words that it would be released as soon as editing was done so the sooner they shot it the better for them, the members also showed active willingness to participate.

“Then shoot it now!”

“Let’s shoot!”

Inside the elevator going up to the office. When Cheong shouted to shoot immediately, Yooyeon quickly chimed in.

“Shall we?”

But not expecting Baekya to join in, Minseong looked at the sunfish with a face full of betrayal.

“Why are you doing this too?”

He just got carried away…….

Baekya quietly lowered his head and slipped behind Jihan.

Han Jihan, S.O.S….!

(Practice room group photo.jpg)

===========================

“Hyung! ID is seriously so good.”

Blonde 3 approached Baekya who was drinking water in front of the water purifier.

The S Company winter song team was rotating through practice rooms. After using Harang’s and Blond No.1 and No.2’s company rooms, today it was Baekya’s turn. The company must have tried to be considerate, because they’d given them the largest practice room.

‘This is called putting the cart before the horse.’

Ironically, ID’s trainees were kicked out to another room.

“Practice rooms are all similar.”

“Wow~ As expected, a large agency has different standards.”

From their very first meeting, Blond No.3 kept speaking with a tone that subtly ranked people by status, so Baekya had to be careful with his words. Even if he said one word, they were prone to nitpicking like this.

“Practicing in a place like this, you wouldn’t even get tired.”

“…Didn’t you say you felt like dying of exhaustion just a moment ago, Geumsam-nim?”

“Me?”

Yes. You.

When Baekya nodded slightly and stared intently, Blonde 3 feigned ignorance and ran away to the restroom.

“Hah…..”

Whenever he met this special stage team, Baekya felt like he was getting a headache he didn’t have.
