I'm a Genius Idol but My Passive is Sunfish: Episode 69

Jihan was the only one taking productive action. He rummaged through the stylist's pouch, searching for a sharp object. Hoping to find scissors, he ended up with a utility knife. Sliding out the blade, he approached Baekya and the gathered members.

"Chucky, it's Chucky!"

Chung, all by himself, was acting as if he was watching a horror movie.

"What the... What's he about to do now?!"

Startled by Jihan's slow approach with the knife, Baekya pushed the members aside and jumped over the sofa.

"Come here, Han Baekya."

"N-no way! Would you come over if you were me?!"

"Just come here."

It was like a horror movie scene. Falling out of bed in the morning was already a bad omen, and today was the day of the special stage with that detestable guy, coupled with a potentially deadly main quest. His mind was already in turmoil, and his members, in their many ways, were adding to the chaos.

"D-don't come closer!"

Baekya, edging towards the waiting room door, kept his eyes on Jihan, who was wielding the knife.

"If you go out that door, things will get worse."

Jihan told him to come over while he was still talking nicely. Jihan's deadpan expression while holding a knife, made him seem like a psychopathic villain. Baekya shook his head vehemently as Jihan tried to coax him. As he took another step back, the waiting room door opened, and Deokjin and Namkyung entered, carrying coffee.

"Whoa! I almost spilt it!"

"What now? What's going on here?"

Namkyung immediately rubbed his neck, sensing the chaos.

"Hyung! Grab him!"

"...Damn it!"

At Yulmu's shout, Baekya bit his lip and made a break for it, fleeing the waiting room.

"The hamster's on the run!"

Chung's shout echoed as Yulmu and Yuyeon dashed past Namkyung.

"What was that?"

"That was Yulmu-nim and Yuyeon-nim."

"Ugh, this is a mess."

While Deokjin explained helpfully to the bewildered Namkyung, Minsung quietly distanced himself from the situation. Meanwhile, down the hallway, the hamster and his pursuers were in hot pursuit.

"Stop following me!"

"Baekdo, why are you running?"

"I'll handle it myself!"

What had been an empty corridor when DASE arrived was now bustling with staff and other performers. Running through the crowd was creating a huge disturbance, and Baekya could almost hear their reputation plummeting. Finally, it was the hamster who stopped first.

"Fine! I'll come! I'll come, but I'll untie it myself."

Once again, Baekya was in a standoff in the hallway. He stretched out his hand, signalling the others not to come any closer.

"Okay. Let's... let's just go," he said.

"Wow... why are you so fast?" Yuyeon and Yulmu panted, catching their breath with their hands on their knees.
