Chapter 128
Idol Game Olympics. (4)
Lee Ju-hyuk and Park Jae-hyung disappeared through the holes and came out in different places.
They pretended not to know anything and joined the other participants, waiting for the kill cooldown to reset.
“Jae-hyung is too obvious when he’s a mafia, so we have to kill as many as possible this round.”
Lee Ju-hyuk glanced at the camera and said. He followed Kim Seung-hyun of Miracle closely.
“Hey, stop following me. You’re scaring me.”
Kim Seung-hyun felt uneasy and tried to take a detour, but Lee Ju-hyuk stabbed him as soon as the kill cooldown ended.
On the other screen, Park Jae-hyung stabbed Lim Yoo-i of Eos.
The game would end when the number of mafia and citizens were equal, and there were only four citizens left. The singers sitting in the audience watched the broadcast with interest.
“This is dangerous. I think a lot of people died. We need to find the bodies soon.”
Park Jin-hyuk’s character moved around busily.
“I have a feeling that Ju-hyuk hyung is the mafia this round.”
The audience murmured in admiration at Park Jin-hyuk’s muttering. Jo Tae-woong smiled bitterly.
“Jin-hyuk hyung is having ‘that day’.”
Park Jin-hyuk had no clue as his default setting, but sometimes he said sharp things without thinking.
“Didn’t he do that before?”
“Yeah, on his birthday. We prepared a surprise party with a hidden camera, but as soon as he entered the practice room, he said ‘Are you doing a surprise for my birthday?’”
Ian and Kim Joo-young frowned. That one sentence ruined the surprise they had planned for days.
Ian snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the caster’s loud voice and fixed his eyes on the game screen again.
“Oh! Park Jae-hyung killed Min Kyu-jin and the remaining citizens are Park Jin-hyuk, Moon Joo-sol, and Yeon Jun-seo!”
“If the mafia kills one more person here, the game will end with their victory!”
“Park Jin-hyuk! He found Min Chang-jo’s body! He has to report it quickly… Oh no!”
The caster and the announcer jumped up. Park Jin-hyuk was about to approach Min Chang-jo’s body when Lee Ju-hyuk rushed out from behind him and stabbed him.
<The mafia wins.>
“It only took three minutes since the game started!”
“The mafia won without a single discussion time!”
-Crazy?????
-Lol
-They won??????????
“Wow…”
Park Jin-hyuk took off his headset and got up.
“Ah hyung!”
Lee Ju-hyuk smiled with satisfaction at his scream. He gave a thumbs up to Park Jae-hyung of Mykit who caught his eye.
The next round started right away. Lee Ju-hyuk couldn’t perform as well as he did in the previous round. He was killed by the mafia right away.
“Ah! Did I stand out too much?”
Lee Ju-hyuk muttered regretfully and rubbed his head.
“Lee Ju-hyuk is out already!”
“He did too well in the first two rounds. Yeon Jun-seo, he eliminates the dangerous person first!”
Park Jin-hyuk sang a song as he went around doing missions.
“Who will it be this time? Jun-seo nim? Jae-hyung?”
His screen was on the screen at that moment. The audience and the hosts exclaimed.
“Park Jin-hyuk, he has no sense of urgency!”
“There was a body right in front of him!”
“Ah, Jin-hyuk has good intuition but no clue!”
-He has good intuition but no clue??????
-GoodIntNoClue?????
Fortunately, Park Jin-hyuk came back and found the body. He pressed the report button and the discussion time came.
(Lee Ju-hyuk) ????????????
Lee Ju-hyuk was in a ghost state and chatted alone in the ghost chat room.
“I saw him here… Where is this? A sterile room?”
“I was…”
Thanks to Lee Ju-hyuk’s setting from the beginning, the participants briefed their locations comfortably. But there was no one who overlapped with the body on their routes.
“Then isn’t the person who found him the culprit?”
“No, it’s not me. Ju-hyuk hyung was alone anyway, why would I kill him and get out of there? It’s too complicated to kill him and report it.”
“That’s true.”
Park Jin-hyuk was suspected, but it wasn’t conclusive, so they let it go. Yeon Jun-seo, who had pushed Park Jin-hyuk, backed off.
“Should we skip this time?”
“Shall we?”
They all voted for the skip button. Then, Park Jin-hyuk, who had been rolling his eyes and looking around, suddenly put his hand on the mouse. He voted for Yeon Jun-seo when there were two seconds left in the discussion time.
“Huh?”
“Right now, the vote…”
Everyone skipped, but only Yeonjunseo got one vote. His character was sent out of the spaceship.
<Yeonjunseo was the mafia.>
<There is one mafia left.>
“Park Jinhyuk! He sends the mafia away with a sudden vote!”
“What’s up with him today? He has a great intuition!”
The announcer and the caster jumped up and cheered. The chat window of ‘Streamer TV’ quickly filled up, and the donations appeared and disappeared on the screen without a chance to read the messages.
“Huh? I just guessed and got it right?”
Park Jinhyuk, who voted for Yeonjunseo, chuckled and pressed the arrow keys. He just picked randomly, but it was a lucky guess.
If Yeonjunseo had been a citizen, Park Jinhyuk would have been accused of being the mafia. Of course, Park Jinhyuk didn’t even think about such complicated things.
“I’m awesome today, huh?”
His character, jumping around the spaceship, looked especially annoying.
(Lee Juhyuk) Welcome
(Yeonjunseo) Wow, awesome
(Yeonjunseo) We’re on the same team, right? Is he always like that?
(Lee Juhyuk) No, Ian is usually good at that…
Yeonjunseo paused as he entered the soul chat room.
‘Ah, Awi’s Choi Ian.’
He had memorized Ian’s name because people kept comparing him to Ian. Yeonjunseo smiled bitterly.
-Yeonjunseo is worse than Choi Ian, but Choi Ian doesn’t act?
-Why is he the lead when his acting sucks?
└Awi is going to enlist soon
└What a waste?? Yeonjunseo’s acting is so bad that it’s hard to watch??
└Yeonjunseo has a good face though
└Isn’t Choi Ian much better?
└2222222
└Don’t touch my idol’s hair when you diss other idols ?? they really don’t listen
The haters who used Choi Ian to bash Yeonjunseo. They claimed that they were just posting their opinions and cursed at the drama fans. Now even the reporters were biting the bait and posting comparison articles between Ian and Yeonjunseo.
‘Let’s see how good he is.’
Yeonjunseo pouted his lips. He typed quickly on the keyboard.
(Yeonjunseo) Wow, I wanted to see him once
(Yeonjunseo) Can you introduce me to him later?
(Lee Juhyuk) I’ll introduce you at lunchtime
(Lee Juhyuk) But who is the other mafia besides Junseo-nim?
(Yeonjunseo) Jusol-nim
Just then, Moon Jusol found Park Jinhyuk and stabbed him. She escaped through the vent and turned off the electricity to hinder the citizens.
“Moon Jusol! Another kill! She reports it right away?”
“Seondong is amazing! He pushes the innocent citizens to debate!”
This round was won by Moon Jusol’s performance. They continued to play the next round.
“Finally, the long ‘Space Mafia’ is over!”
“Let’s see who won. Shall we check the points?”
The large screen showed the points next to the participants’ names. The ones who scored the most points were Lee Juhyuk and Shy Girls’ Moon Jusol.
“It’s a tie! Awi’s Juhyuk-gun and Shy Girls’ Jusol-yang!”
The other participants clapped from behind, and Lee Juhyuk and Moon Jusol bowed their heads and greeted each other. Park Seodam, who was in charge of the MC on site, handed them the microphone.
“Shy Girls’ Jusol-nim! Your quick movement and persuasive speech were very impressive! How do you feel?”
“I was so nervous when I was the mafia. My hands were shaking.”
“You said that, but you did so well?”
The screen showed Moon Jusol making an eyebrow arch and saying ‘What do I do, what do I do!’ as she stabbed other people. It was a scary scene in another sense.
“Thank you for the interview! Next… Awi’s Juhyuk-hyung, I mean Juhyuk-nim! Please tell us how you feel.”
Moon Jusol’s interview ended, and it was Lee Juhyuk’s turn. The Awi members in the audience cheered loudly and clapped.
“Actually, I didn’t think I would win. Jinhyuk-ie was so good at guessing… I’m glad I won.”
“The chat window was saying ‘He has kindergarten teacher material.’, ‘He’s like a group leader who only does mafia.’ when you were leading the debate. How do you feel about that?”
“Really? Ah… Did we do mafia that much? Did we have that kind of rumor… a lot?”
Lee Juhyuk looked at the other participants with a confused voice. He sighed softly when he saw Mykit nodding slowly. He would have had many cool nicknames, but why…
-???????Why are you acting surprised?
-He didn’t know the rumor??????
“Our group image is like a mafia game…”
“Ahem, yes! We heard your feelings well!”
Along with him, Park Seodam, who was conducting an interview next to him, also coughed awkwardly, and the other members who were sitting in the audience lowered their heads. The other singers laughed out loud.
After Lee Juhyuk and Moon Jusol’s winning speech, the participants sat in the audience and waited for the next game. There was still time left until lunchtime, so the caster made a sudden suggestion.
“How about we have a bonus game? It would be a shame to end it like this.”
“Sounds good!”
“Since this game is mostly about debating, the foreign members couldn’t participate. So this time, it’s a Korean-foreigner special!”
“The rules are a bit different this time!”
There is one mafia. As soon as the game starts, the mafia announces that they are the mafia. Then they have to run around and kill the citizens.
The nine citizens can’t report the corpses that the mafia killed, and they have to avoid the mafia and complete the given missions.
“If the mafia kills everyone, it’s the mafia’s victory. If you avoid the mafia and complete all the missions, it’s the citizens’ victory!”
“You have to keep your microphones on! The reactions are very fun, you know? Feel free to talk.”
“Alright, then let’s see the players!”
A large screen showed the list of players who would participate in the game. Among them was Ian’s name.
“Ah, I was bored anyway. This is good.”
“I’m so jealous of Choi Ian. I want to try it too… But there are only nine people there, right?”
Jo Taewoong looked at the screen with hopeful eyes. The game had a capacity of 10 people, so he thought that maybe one more person would be drawn by lottery. And he was right.
“There are only nine people in total, right? We need to fill up 10 people, so we’ll draw a honorary foreigner.”
“I wish it was me.”
Jo Taewoong stared at the screen intently. But the result was different from his expectation.
“The honorary foreigner is… Awi’s Joo Young!”
Jo Taewoong leaned his upper body on the backrest and sighed heavily. He couldn’t help it. He tapped Kim Joo Young’s shoulder, who had lost his appetite.
“Ah, too bad. Hey Kim Joo Young, have fun and come back.”
“Ah, why did I get picked? Do I have to do it?”
Kim Joo Young, who was Awi’s official pushover, got picked. Ian chuckled and said.
“Right, isn’t he scared of that kind of stuff?”
“Yeah.”
Jo Taewoong gave up his regret and snickered. The other members who were listening got up and lifted Kim Joo Young from his seat.
“You can’t do anything about it now.”
“Good luck!”
Ian pushed Kim Joo Young’s back and headed towards the stage. Kim Joo Young made a sad face.
“I really hate that kind of stuff…”
