I’m a Genius Idol but my Passive is Sunfish Chapter 90

“That crazy guy….”

 

A cold silence fell, and Minseong pressed a hand to his forehead. Baekya, who had been blinking as if trying to process what was going on, seemed to regain his senses bit by bit; the corner of his mouth twisted, and his front teeth showed.

 

“…Am I a dog?”

 

“Well, not exactly….”

 

When Baekya bared his teeth with his eyes flashed, Jihan instinctively realized that this was the moment to run.

 

As soon as Jihan’s feet left the ground, Baekya grabbed Yulmu by the neck and started chasing him.

 

“You’re dead meat!”

 

The sunfish didn’t hold back.

 

A chase between a cat, a mouse, and a dog started out of nowhere. It was a speed unbelievable for a three-legged race.

 

Watching this, the fans were certain. The strong candidate for winning the three-legged race was the White Team.

 

* * *

 

They didn’t disappoint.

 

Yulmu and Baekya of the White Team crushed the participating players with perfect teamwork and surprising speed. With the White Team’s victory, the current score was a 2-2 tie.

 

Baepsae took out her binoculars and observed her bias, who was floundering next to Daehwan.

 

“What are they talking about?”

 

She saw Daehwan handing over water and Baekya waving his hand saying he was fine. Rejected, Daehwan offered snacks this time.

 

“What does he keep giving him?”

 

Squinting to focus, she saw a small square object passed into Baekya’s hand.

 

‘MyXChew?’

 

That was a must-have item for the new semester, carrying the meaning ‘I want to become friends with you’.

 

Friendship with a handsome, musical genius sunbae with excellent character was always welcome.

 

Leaving behind Daehwan’s tearful efforts to befriend Baekya, Baepsae turned her binoculars. It was because the ‘Flip the Board’ game featuring Yooyeon was in full swing.

 

It had started with Baekya, but having embraced all six members in her heart, Baepsae didn’t neglect the other members.

 

— The Blue Team is flipping cards at a fast speed. Is that Six AM’s Mr.Harang? His hands are incredibly fast.

 

— The White Team is formidable too. It’s very tight. DASE’s Mr. Yooyeon is even showing a skill of flipping with his feet.

 

Baekya, holding five MyXChews in his hand, was seen focusing on the game again. AIM and DASE stood united, cheering for Yooyeon in a heartwarming scene.

 

But suddenly, Yooyeon stumbled and rolled on the floor. Startled members got up and looked at Yooyeon.

 

— Oh my. Mr. Yooyeon, are you okay? Seems like his foot got caught on a card, you have to be careful.

 

Youngsam warned to be careful of injuries, saying the boards were thick so it was easy to trip. To the repeated questions asking if he was hurt, Yooyeon drew a big circle above his head.

 

“Didn’t that guy just push him…?”

 

Baepsae, who had been watching Yooyeon with binoculars the whole time, muttered to herself.

 

It seemed he fell because his foot got caught on Harang’s foot, not the card….

 

Baepsae tilted her head.

 

‘Eh. I probably saw it wrong.’

 

— Okay, 10 seconds left. Counting down!

 

With Youngsam’s count, the Blue and White Teams ran around flipping boards even more busily. As the number on the electronic board changed to 0, the whistle blew.

 

— All participating players, please put your arms above your heads.

 

Players stood still with their hands folded over their heads. At the cute posture only seen in kindergarten, screams erupted from the fan seats.

 

“Kyaaak! XX cute!”

 

Nara shouted in excitement.

 

The sound of shutters clicking everywhere indicated that hommas who smuggled cameras in were excitedly taking pictures.

 

— Since there are so many, we will take a short break while the scores are tallied.

 

Yooyeon returning to DASE’s embrace was seen receiving the members’ concern.

 

Cheong was squatting down to lift his pants up to his knees to check, and Minseong was patting his shoulder. Baekya was handing over the caramel and water he received from Daehwan, and seeing Yulmu and Jihan’s lips moving, they seemed to be conversing.

 

‘Who said our kids are just business partners! Look how close they are!’

 

Grinding her teeth, Beapsae recalled a comment she’d seen on her timeline days ago. Just then, her bias was handing over another fruit-flavored caramel.

 

‘Look at that! That!’

 

Giving not one but two MyXChews? That was basically a declaration. Only true love could explain that.

 

Meanwhile, the card counts for the Blue and White Teams appeared on the electronic board after tallying.

 

[Blue Team 101 / White Team 99]

 

It was a victory for the Blue Team by a narrow margin. As the group in blue jerseys celebrated their victory, the fandoms of the groups in the Blue Team also cheered.

 

The White Team expressed regret briefly and then turned to the fan seats making gestures of apology. Yooyeon, checking the result, scratched his forehead and bowed deeply towards Baepsae’s section.

 

“It’s okay Yooyeon! You did well….”

 

Because personal comments were forbidden, a fan muttered in a small voice. Perhaps everyone felt the same, the fan seats stirred for a moment.

 

“Han Yooyeon! Han Yooyeon!”

 

Fans started chanting his name as if to comfort Yooyeon who fell. At the growing chant, the members including Yooyeon looked at the Naing Zone.

 

Yulmu nudged Yooyeon and smiled broadly. Yooyeon, embarrassed, grabbed Yulmu’s arm pointing at the fan seat and pulled it down.

 

Witnessing skinship with their naked eyes, fans screamed.

 

“Kyaaaak!”

– Are the kids shy? It’s break time but they’re playing Mafia game among themselves

– Baekya is ISAC MyXChew Fairy lol Earlier he gave some to BB9 blond leader too

– I came to keep an eye on things because they said this was the scene of idol mingling, but thank god our babies are just playing among themselvesㅠ

– Naings who went to ISAC, are you still alive?

– Kids are taking selfies now! Holding out until they’re posted on official account

  └ Everyone, for your info, today’s headband is Jihan. (Serious)

 

With the limbo game and girl group cheering competition over, only the last event remained. The mission relay that would decorate the finale of the athletics championship. Obstacles were set up on the track drawn on the stadium floor.

 

With the White Team winning the Limbo match, the score became 3 to 3. Tied again.

 

Each team sent out four runners. Only after clearing the different mission assigned to each section could the next runner start.

 

— Now then, eight players please stand in front of your respective starting lines.

 

At the MC’s direction, Blue and White Team players stood in front of the line.

 

“Gasp. Minseong is over there!”

 

Nara pointed to the 3rd section. Minseong could be seen loosening his ankles and waving to the members there.

 

— Mission Relay! The first event is eating candy from flour. Everyone has tried this at least once when young, right?

— You must eat the candy in the plate without using your hands. You must whistle after eating to succeed.

 

As the start signal rang, the first runners of both teams started running with all their might.

 

Plates placed on low tables. From the mound of flour, a giant hard candy asserted its presence.

 

Two players with flour on their noses and mouths lifted their heads. With one cheek bulging due to the candy, the two succeeded in whistling almost simultaneously.

 

— Continuing, the second runners depart! They started almost simultaneously.

 

The White Team’s second runner dashed towards Minseong. Perhaps watching anxiously, Minseong was stamping his feet looking ahead.

 

For a more vivid on-site viewing, Baepsae put down her binoculars. She muttered to herself looking at the second obstacle.

 

“Is it eating snacks?”

 

Large and small shapes presumed to be snacks were dangling from the pole hurdle used for the limbo game earlier.

 

Naturally, the bar was fixed at the highest height. Even though they weren’t short, the two players reaching the mission section had to jump and struggle to eat the snacks.

 

— Ah~ Is the bar too high?

— That is exactly the charm of this game.

 

Just like the candy-eating challenge, hands weren’t allowed, so the outcome wasn’t decided easily.

 

As the snacks hovered just shy of their lips, both Team Blue and Team White watched in tense silence.

 

Then, with a high jump, a Team Blue runner finally managed to bite into a snack. Cheers from Team Blue’s fans erupted through the venue.

 

Showing the bitten snack to the referee, the runner headed off to pass the baton to the third runner. Growing desperate, Team White’s runner gathered his strength and jumped again.

 

— White Team also succeeds in eating the snack! DASE’s Mr. Minseong is waiting as the third runner.

— Ah~ However, the gap is already widening little by little. Will the White Team be able to catch up!

 

The second runner, face red, passed the baton, exchanging silent glances with Minseong. Minseong nodded grimly once and received the baton.

 

The third mission was a sack race.

 

Minseong, picking up the orange sack lying on the floor, was calmly putting his feet in one by one.

 

“Aaack! Cute!”

 

Of all things, a rabbit-like kid willingly hopping into a sack that looked just like a carrot!

 

Overwhelmed by lethal levels of cuteness, Bapsae felt dizzy.

 

— Looks like Mr. Minseong has a lot of experience with sack races. The white rabbit is catching up at an incredible speed.

 

DASE could be seen bursting into laughter at Youngsam’s witty commentary.

 

Minseong’s hands, tightly gripping both the baton and the sack, were shown in close-up on the big screen. Amidst the groans of adoration bursting from here and there, a gasp was heard suddenly.

 

— Ah~ What is happening! The Blue Team drops the baton. It’s an opportunity for a comeback win for the White Team!

 

The blue baton rolled next to Minseong. Minseong looked back at the opposing player going back the way he came.

 

An opportunity for the White Team.

 

Biting down hard on his lower lip as his competitive spirit surged, Minseong hopped with every ounce of strength he had. Across from him, AIM’s Yeonha waited with an outstretched hand.

 

— The moment the Blue Team picks up the baton again, the White Team’s baton is passed to the last runner!

 

— AIM’s Mr. Yeonha runs powerfully towards the mission paper!

 

The flow of the game reversed in an instant.

 

“Hurry hurry!”

 

Colorful mission papers stuck in a bucket. After pondering briefly, Yeonha picked a pink paper.

 

Anxious about the Blue Team chasing closely behind, Nara and Baepsae bit their nails.
