( Running Man from 2010 )

Everyone huddled around a small circle table while Pd Jung Chul Min laid out polaroids of potential guest celebrities for the 2nd episode of the newest variety show of Yoo Jae Suk (main host) Running Man. It has been the talk of the town since its first released and they want the public to keep in touch so they collected frames of in demand celebrities to keep, much better incline the rating.

"Hyung, want to grab some soju later?" Kang Gary asked Jongkook with a pleading accent. He badly wanted to have a drink after a tiring day of running, chasing, and ripping name tags.

"Ya Hyung, you know he won't let Alcohol destroy his image. As if that would buy him a girlfriend. Anyway, you can have me instead" HaHa nudged Gary's elbow then made a weird face, just like he always intends to do.

He was about to get hit by Jongkook's bulky fist when Yoo Jae Suk came in with his usual fit maong pants and checkered tuck in polo. He was the last person to wait and so the meeting has started.

The members of the show are the following; Yoo Jae Suk, Ji Sukjin, Kim Jongkook, Kang Gary, Ha Donghoon, Song Jongki, and the youngest member, Lee Kwangsoo.

"Who among these pretty ladies you think would help the show the most?" Pd Jung initiated.

The members were delighted while browsing the pictures cause pretty girls always pique their interest.

"Enjoying yourselves huh?" Pd Jung teased them a bit after then, the boys went into a wild commotion of objections, being indenials. But they were really having the most of their time looking at.

"Pd nim, it's not everyday you would present us such gift!" Joongki declared smiling shyly, looking only on the polariod which caught his eyes. 

Pd Jung noticed the sweet gestures so he said, "Jongki shii, let's bring in your crush"

He went beet red and was acting naive. "Uh who?"

"Song Jihyo"

And suddenly all 8 men sighed and fidgeted on their seats. And that's where PD Jung decided who would be the first guest.

"Jihyo noona, cool. Let's have her" Kwangsoo assented the PD nim's decision.

"She will be great in the show, with that eyes, face, and expression, we can fish more people to watch. I totally agree with the first choice" Ji Sukjin added.

Yoo Jaesuk formally started the probable second guest by recommennding someone from a girl group. He firmly believed it would be a wise addition and everyone agreed with him.

"We cannot have Girls Generation cause they have an ongoing concert tour as well as Gfriend. While Girls Day are busy on their promotion"

"Well, KARA is a popular group too. We can settle on them" Haha suggested.

"Exactly and Go Hara is the demand" Kang Gary uttered.

"Okay. She's in" Jaesuk said and PD Jung politely wrote the two names on a paper and had it deliver to the team who would contact their managers.

The meeting ended and after formally bidding farewell they off to go.

"Hyung, eodiga?" Joongki ran with Kwangsoo to catch up their Hyungs pace.

"Oh Joongki. We're going on a drink, want to come? How about you kwangsoo?" Jongkook replied.

"You'll drink? You've broken your rule?"

"I can come without drinking" and they all nodded in unison.

Joongki could come but Kwangsoo, "About that, I still have stuffs to do and a long way home (Anyang)"

And so they separated ways.

At the car, while waiting for Joongki. The three had a conversation, Haha was trying to be annoying, Gary was well acquainted to the dialogue with Jongkook.

"She will be great" Jongkook said out of nowhere.

Haha grinning, queried. "Which of the two?"

"Both can do well but I think Jihyo shii would be great"

"I could not disagree. Her charm that never fails to enchant the public even in polaroid, she looked beautiful" Gary inclined and both had no more to say.

"But really, I'm kind of disappointed"

"Wae?"

[ 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬: 𝑤ℎ𝑦? ]

"𝖠 𝗉𝖺𝗋𝗍 𝗈𝖿 𝗆𝖾 𝗐𝗂𝗌𝗁 𝗌𝗁𝖾 𝗐𝗈𝗎𝗅𝖽 𝗇𝗈𝗍 𝗃𝗎𝗌𝗍 𝗌𝗍𝖺𝗒 𝖺𝗌 𝖺 𝗀𝗎𝖾𝗌𝗍 𝖻𝗎𝗍 𝖺𝗇 𝗈𝖿𝖿𝗂𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅 𝗆𝖾𝗆𝖻𝖾𝗋" he mentally said. But later on replied, "That I have to watch you guys drink while slowly killing yourselves"

Haha and Gary just laughed it off and discouraged him again for his godly measurement of physical health.

But about the wish, Jongkook really meant it. Later did he knew, his wish, granted.
