Chapter 26: Of course it's because of you! Am I really a genius?
"Yeah, right!" Xie Mingmu suddenly remembered that the silly girl had fallen and was hospitalized. Wouldn't that mean they would be short one person to form a team? That would be very unfair. Xie Mingmu thought this was very true and began to look forward to it.
"No problem, we will send a female staff member to assist the team that is short-staffed."
After finishing his speech, Beer Belly led a girl with glasses out. Actually, Beer Belly had already made preparations when he learned that Momo was hospitalized. For this segment, he found someone who usually had a sense of humor to participate. Anyway, this segment wouldn't take up too much time and wouldn't give fans a bad impression.
Xie Mingmu's expectations were dashed by his beer belly. In fact, he had been somewhat presumptuous. This variety show was aimed at Twice fans, and their fan base was mainly composed of men. If they saw a male member suddenly appear in Twice, they would definitely cause a scene at JYP and affect the group.
They quickly divided into teams using the back of their hands. Mina, Nayeon, and Jihyo were in one team. After the teams were divided, Dahyun was organizing the process, acting as a variety show host.
Xie Mingmu felt that the production team should arrange the process, as it would be more organized that way. Xie Mingmu was surprised by himself, "Oh my, it seems I have some talent for program production. Should I try producing a variety show myself in the future?"
For example, their married life after marriage with Mina—well, that's so obvious, let's make a show called "Married Life."
Unfortunately, this kind of show has been around for a long time, and it's been quite long-running. The show is called "We Got Married," and Xie Mingmu would definitely be furious if he knew about it.
"Wow, they're copying my idea! What do you mean they came up with this idea? If I had been born a few years earlier, would they even have a chance?"
"The maze here has three entrances, so we split into three teams and entered from three different starting points."
"So their destinations are all different?" Chou Tzu-yu pays more attention to details and likes to think things through before acting, which is why she is sometimes a bit slow to react.
"The finish line is the central fountain. We'll all arrive here after navigating the maze. We need to take a photo at each starting point to complete the mission. The first-place winner will receive a special reward tonight!"
Kim Da-hyun responded to each question, finally answering all her teammates' doubts. "We'll play a charades game here. The winning team will get the map of the maze."
At this point, Xie Mingmu could take a good rest and fix the camera. For Xie Mingmu, watching them play this somewhat meaningless game, which wasn't very funny, was less important than looking at the scenery in the distance and protecting his eyes.
Xie Mingmu, who was drinking purified water, was drawn to Lin Nayeon's inexplicable shout. It seemed that she was a girl who was too lively. Xie Mingmu was already having a headache and began to feel sorry for Mina. According to the information he had, Mina was still sleeping in the same room as Lin Nayeon. He wondered if she would be able to get a good rest that night.
In the end, Sana Minato's team won the championship and got the map. The variety show team never expected that the entire maze crossing segment would fall apart. The beer-bellied PD had no choice but to hastily end the segment and urge the team to move on to the next filming location.
Seeing that the beer belly wasn't working, he stopped his lewd behavior and started lecturing the members who hadn't been very active earlier, repeatedly telling them to put in more enthusiasm later.
"Alright, we still have some time. I'll give you another hour to get yourself ready. When we go to film the scene of eating black pork, you need to show your enthusiasm, Alaki?!"
With a wave of his hand, the beer-bellied man gave them some time to adjust. As a fan of Nayeon and an employee of JYP Entertainment, he was very familiar with Twice's schedule.
But while he understood, he wouldn't risk his job. He knew how much the management valued this album's comeback. If he didn't do a good job and didn't complete the filming, his future would be bleak. Giving them an hour to adjust was already a huge favor to Lim Na-yeon.
Upon hearing the PD's voice, the eight members breathed a sigh of relief and each found their own way to broadcast.
Xie Mingmu thought the maze was quite interesting, but they just didn't know how to create the effects. Observing the structure, Xie Mingmu thought about where he could add some interactive elements. While pondering the structure of the show, he suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes. When he looked up, he was surprised to find Mina standing right in front of him.
When Mina saw Xie Mingmu enter the maze, she felt an urge to find him. Following her heart, she told Sana and followed Xie Mingmu's footsteps.

What are you doing here?
Xie Mingmu was a little worried about Mingjing Nan. Although the maze was secluded, there were still a few cats around. There was a risk of rumors if she suddenly ran up to him. Actually, Xie Mingmu was worrying too much. It was all because of the strange ideas that Park Jiyeon had instilled in him.
"I didn't do anything. I just wanted to find a quiet place to take a walk. I didn't expect you to be here too."
Mina avoided eye contact; she would never admit that she had followed Xie Mingmu here.
Hearing this answer, which wasn't what he wanted, Xie Mingmu was somewhat disappointed: "Aren't you afraid that passersby will see us, take pictures, and then make up rumors about us?"
"You're our photographer, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to talk to you." Mina blinked, and Xie Mingmu could tell from her eyes that Mina was definitely making fun of him.
"You haven't changed at all," Mina said with a slight smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Xie Mingmu was a little confused by her. She left like the wind, and now she appeared in front of him as if nothing had happened.
"Mea~~" Mina responded to him in a dialect.
Xie Mingmu laughed. He never expected that the boomerang from many years ago would hit him. Back then, he had intended to teach Mingjing Nan dialect.
As we all know, learning a language usually starts with greeting the other person's female relatives. However, Xie Mingmu did not teach Mina such advanced skills at first. He only taught her this more commonly used greeting technique.
This was the first time Mingan had used it after learning it, and Xie Mingmu never expected that he would become the target.
The two laughed at each other, just like two simpletons.
This was the second time Xie Mingmu had been alone with Mina since arriving at the peninsula. The last time was when the atmosphere was still a bit awkward, and they just said some useless things to ease the awkwardness between them.
Mina, wearing sunglasses and a hat, walked side by side with Xie Mingmu, her head down.
"It's obvious that variety shows aren't for you," Xie Mingmu said casually.
Mina was secretly pleased. It was clearly me who wasn't suited to filming variety shows, yet he insisted that variety shows weren't suitable for me. How did Akira become so eloquent? She wondered if he had found someone else. Thinking of this, Mina felt as if she had been doused with cold water, and her face turned from sunny to gloomy.
"Yeah, that's what I think too. But how come your Korean is so good? I've been learning it for almost three years and I'm still not very good."
Mina tried to banish the thought, quickly finding a topic to talk about. As long as she forgot about it, she could talk about anything.
"Because I'm a genius." Xie Mingmu looked at Mina with a confident expression.
"You..." Mina looked at the narcissistic Xie Mingmu with a hint of annoyance and shook her head.
"Of course it's because of you."
