Idol Game Olympics. (2)
“Is that your strategy? To knock down as many people as possible! Did you consult with your MyKit members about this plan?”
“The moment I tell you, MyKit’s Cheolmin and Chihun will fall!”
“So you didn’t consult them! You didn’t! Park Seon! You’re ruthless, even team-killing!”
“Miracle’s Hakgyu, who luckily made it through, now only has 13 people left to reach the target point!”
Jin Junyong, the caster, jumped up and ranted. The announcer also raised his voice, infected by the caster’s mood. Behind the stage, a giant screen zoomed in on Park Seon’s face.
-He’s a devil, a devilᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ
-Who keeps falling?ᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ I would have shot them with a shotgun if I were themᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ
-His personality is ruinedᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ
“Hey! Park Seon!”
Screams were heard from all over the player seats. Just then, MyKit’s youngest member Lee Chihun shrieked. He was one of the people who kept falling because of Park Seon.
-Someone just screamed
-Look at him laughingᄃᄃᄃᄃᄃᄃᄃ
-I’m pissed off watching thisᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ
-Fair play is goneᄏᄏ
“Ah! Did you hear someone shouting from the player seats? Seon is smiling!”
“The chat room is on fire right now!”
Park Seon and the Agempi PD both smirked. This kind of unexpected situation made it more fun. Ian looked around at his members after hearing Chihun’s cry.
‘Did our members make it in?’
The first stage ended and the character standby screen came up. The characters of the players who failed to enter within the time limit flew into the air with balloons. Among the flying characters were Park Seodam and Park Jinhyuk.
“How many of you dropped out?”
Seohakgyu asked casually. Ian raised his finger and made a scissors shape.
“Two.”
“We also lost two.”
“What about Limin?”
“He didn’t drop out. He’s really good at games.”
“Really?”
Seohakgyu wondered why Miracle’s leader Hwang Sungwon was so confident. The game screen moved on to the next stage. Seohakgyu found someone on the screen and lifted one corner of his mouth.
“So he was being nasty and only two of them survived.”
Only Kim Cheolmin and Park Seon’s characters remained from MyKit.
“The next stage is... Team Play Stage!”
“You will be randomly divided into three teams, and you have to cooperate with your teammates to get the ball to the goal point to move on to the next stage!”
“Out of the three teams, the last one to enter will be eliminated!”
Ian fixed his eyes on the screen. He was on the green team. Next to his character, Seohakgyu’s character waved his hand.
“We’re on the same team.”
“Good. Let’s go in first.”
3, 2, 1, START!
As soon as it started, a huge ball fell from the sky. The tiny characters of the cast ran towards the ball.
“Why isn’t it rolling here?”
“There’s sticky stuff underneath. You have to roll it to the right.”
Seohakgyu and Ian communicated with each other and pushed the ball quickly.
“Green team! Green team is in the lead!”
“That’s what happens when you’re close to your team!”
Each team moved their ball along their own rail, avoiding obstacles. And at the end, the rails merged at the finish line. And then, the interference to prevent other teams from scoring first also began.
“What? There are no obstacles near the finish line?”
“Someone is blocking this.”
Park Seon didn’t roll the ball from the beginning and went back and forth near the final round, trying to block other teams’ balls.
“As expected! It’s Park Seon with a bad personality!”
“The other team members are joining in! While green team is under pink team’s concentrated attack, red team scores first!”
“Now there’s no time left, right? Only one of green team and pink team can move on to the next stage!”
Ian clicked his tongue.
“Ian is in danger of being eliminated!”
Just then, Kim Ju-young, who had crossed the stick next to him, jumped toward Hwang Sung-won’s character.
“Who is it? Who came? It’s Ju-young from Awi! Is it friendship?”
“Of course, only group members can do that!”
Kim Ju-young and Hwang Sung-won grabbed each other and fell to the ground. Ian jumped and dived to the finish line.
“Ian escapes and reaches the finish line last! What a fantastic teamwork!”
Kim Ju-young, who was diagonally in front of Ian, raised his thumb over his head. Ian tapped his shoulder.
“Hey thanks, that was awesome but too bad.”
“I wanted to save you and go in too, but I went too far.”
Now, only Ian was left in Awi for the final stage.
“Hak-gyu, did you fall too?”
“Yeah, only Min-ha is left in our team.”
Only eight people were left in the final stage. Therefore, the map often changed from a wide area to a narrow space where they had to endure.
“Here it is! The final stage... Stepping on the tiles!”
“Can you see below? The square tiles that look like a chessboard disappear shortly after you step on them!”
“You have to jump to another tile before the tile disappears, and there are five floors in total. You’re out if you fall!”
“This is an extreme physical stage! Let’s begin!”
The character landed on a tile. Ian quickly pressed the arrow keys to avoid the next tile. The tile he stepped on disappeared soon. As there was no more room to step on, Ian jumped to the lower floor.
“Oh! Shy Girls’ Si-hyun, she missed her step!”
“She’s falling to the bottom floor!”
“She has to hold on!”
One by one, more people fell and only three remained on the stage. Ian went down to the floor where Min-ha was and stepped on the tile he was trying to step on, blocking him.
“Wow! Is he trying to drop him on purpose? Good strategy!”
“Min-ha, his character is spinning around and wandering!”
At that moment, Min-ha’s character suddenly dived towards Ian. Min-ha laughed out loud.
“If I can’t be first, neither can you!”
“Ah!”
Ian let out a small scream. Min-ha’s character grabbed Ian’s shoulder and held on while the tiles they were stepping on disappeared. The bottom floor was already cleared by Shy Girls’ Jeong Si-hyun.
“Ian and Min-ha, they both fall at the same time and the first place goes to... Shy Girls’ Si-hyun!”
“She persevered in the corner and got the result! Luck is also a skill, you know!”
“Now, who will be second? The later you fall, the higher your rank!”
-Is it Ian?
-Min-ha I thinkᄏᄏᄏHe grabbed his shoulderᄏᄏᄏ
-So funᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ
“Second place is... Miracle’s Min-ha!”
Ian’s character waved his hand from the third place. Kim Ju-young, who was sitting diagonally in front of him, jumped up. Ian clasped his hands behind his head.
“Wow, that was close.”
Seo Hak-gyu, who took off his headset, patted Ian’s shoulder.
“Man, that’s too bad. You did well.”
“What can you do? Are you going to the next ‘Space Mafia’?”
“I’m not going. I’m already tired. How about you?”
“I don’t know. I have to check the bracket. We signed up for all events.”
“Your team is ambitious. Hey, let’s go to the audience seats.”
Ian got up and stretched. There was still a lot of time left until the next game.
‘Where are our members?’
Ian looked around and saw Min-ha standing at the back row, smiling slyly at him. His expression was somehow provocative, as if he was saying...
‘How about that? I won, right?’
Ian snorted. I’m looking for our members, not you. He ignored his provocation and headed to the audience seats with Kim Ju-young.
Jin, who was holding popcorn, stirred up Ian’s competitive spirit.
[He’s so unlucky.]
‘More than unlucky... Don’t you know what it feels like to have a bratty three-year-old cousin?’
[I know. So don’t you think he has to win in the next game?]
‘Of course.’
