I'm a Genius Idol but My Passive is Sunfish: Episode 68

Baekya approached Blond One, who was sprawled out in the middle of the practice room. Among the team members, BB9's Geumil was the most tolerable. They were the same age, had debuted around the same time at Imjingak, and generally got along well.

"Want some water?"

"Ah, thanks."

Geumil got up and accepted the glass of water.

"Do you always practice in places like this? So why is your dancing...?"

"Do you want to die?"

The indignant sunfish quietly clenched his fist.

"Just kidding, just kidding."

Geumil stuck out his tongue, noting that Baekya had a tougher personality than his gentle appearance suggested.

"Are you getting any sleep?"

"I don't know. I feel like I'm dying."

He had been practising "Walking Dead" so much that zombies started appearing in Baekya's dreams. This was a common experience among all the DASE members. Despite the exhaustion and discomfort with Daehwan, the project itself was quite fun. Daehwan, known as a genius composer, had perfectly reinterpreted the 20-year-old song in a modern style. Only Jihan's rap part was added, preserving the original feel, which even received a standing ovation from PD Myung, ID's leading producer.

"I heard you're doing something with AIM sunbae-nim."

"How did you know?"

"It's all over the place."

Geumil waved his phone.

"There's even an article saying we're doing a special stage."

Geumil excitedly showed the article to Baekya.

"...What's with the title?"

"Why? I like it."

Baekya turned his eyes away quietly, thinking he'd seen something he shouldn't have. Just then, a shadow fell over Baekya and Geumil. It was Harang.

"Let's start practising again."

From the first meeting, Harang had taken the lead and was now the de facto leader of the project team. Baekya didn't mind Harang's assertiveness, as he preferred to go with the flow and avoid being in the spotlight. It was actually convenient to have someone take charge. However, this thought didn't last long.

"Hold on. Your arm angle is wrong."

"I'm sorry."

"Do you know how many times we've had to redo this because of you?"

Harang would often stop the song and humiliate Baekya for mistakes while letting the same mistakes slide when the blond members made them. Unlike the DASE members, who would encourage Baekya even if he made a mistake, Harang was always looking for ways to undermine him. This lack of understanding and consideration in the project group was stressful. Everyone seemed more focused on securing their own parts than working as a team.

Although Baekya had anticipated this, experiencing it firsthand was far more stressful than expected.

"Ehey~ Harang hyung. Didn't we agree not to stress too much about the choreography?"
