'What's that sound?' Jong Kook blurted.
Instinctively, Joong Ki ran to the door and tugged onto the knob, and even tried to pull and push the door with all his might.
'It must be locked,' Ji Hyo said, feeling exasperated.
Jong Kook bolted to the door and also used all his strength to knock the door down, but to no avail.
'What? That wasn't in the plan at all,' Eun Hye muttered under her breath.
'Eun Hye? Nick?' Jae Suk now realized that both of them were there.
'Hi,' Nick spoke while Eun Hye gave a little wave.
'Are you alright? Why did you leave with her?' Ji Hyo was furious.
'I had a stomachache, it's fine now. Ji Hyo, I..,' Nick winced in pain.
Ji Hyo began to suspect that Nick was lying and was a little angry.
'Why are they here, Ji Hyo noona? And where's Gary hyung?' Kwang Soo asked.
'Gary's in my car...' Ji Hyo then began to give a recount of what had happened.
'Eun Hye.. kidnapped Gary?' Jong Kook couldn't believe his ears. In a corner, Eun Hye looked away in embarrassment.
'And then, I followed them here. That's all,' Ji Hyo finished.
'Eun Hye ah, is it true?' Jae Suk was also shocked.
'Wait, Nick is this a plan or something?' Ji Hyo interrupted.
Soon, everyone began asking questions and the room was filled with noise.
'Shut up!' A small monitor in the corner of the room lit up, showing a person wearing a mask.
Only till now, everyone noticed the monitor.
'Who are you?' Joong Ki demanded.
'Omo, isn't is the pretty flower boy? I'm Nick and Eun Hye's boss,' It was the Boss.
'Boss! This wasn't in the plan!' Eun Hye shouted.
'So it was a plan?' Ji Hyo stared at Nick.
Ji Hyo was angry and disappointed that Nick did not answer her questions and continued to doubt him.
'What's going on? What plan are you guys talking about?' Kwang Soo, as usual, asked many questions.
'According to the tone, the Boss must be a female,' Jong Kook was in deep thought.
'Yes, it wasn't in the plan! So what?' The Boss let out a chuckle.
'Oh my gosh,' Eun Hye realized the Boss had betrayed Nick and her.
And then, the screen blacked out.
All of a sudden, the door opened and two people were thrown into the room.
Gary and the running man P.D.
Before anyone could react, the door was locked again.
'Gary hyung? PD hyung?' Kwang Soo was startled.
'Kang Gary!' Ji Hyo quickly ram towards Gary, whose mouth was taped and hands were tied up.
The running man members began to untie both of their hands and removed the tape.
Feeling weary, Gary could only force a smile.
'At least you're safe! That's all it matters to me!' Ji Hyo hugged Gary tightly.
'Ouch...' Gary groaned.
Having witnessed this scene, Nick couldn't stand it and looked elsewhere.
Jong Kook tried unlocking the door again, but it was slammed shut.
'Gary is here. But I don't see any reason why the PD should be here...' Jae Suk trailed off.
'Eun Hye!' the PD ran to Eun Hye and embraced her.
'What?' Jong Kook was enraged.
Without a word, Eun Hye threw his hands around the PD.
'You guys are together?' Ji Hyo gulped. She couldn't bring herself to say it, but eventually did.
'Yep!' Eun Hye was cheerful, while Jong Kook was obviously jealous.
'Unbelievable,' Haha commented. 'Is this some sort of twisted fairytale?'
'But the main question is, what brought Gary and the PD here in the first place?' Nick spoke all of a sudden.
'Bingo!' the screen came back to life and the Boss was there. 'But before we answer that important question, let's have a game to perk everyone up since everyone looks exhausted!' the Boss said. 'Now get up on your feets!'
Surprisingly, everyone began to stand up without whining.
And then something extraordinary happened. The wall of the room turned, revealing 9 sets of costumes in different colors with everyone's nametags.
Everyone started to gather around the table, fascinated by what were presented before their eyes.
'Oh, put them on already!' the Boss added.
Without a word of complain, everyone began wearing their costumes.
After some time, Jae Suk finally couldn't stand it and said, 'Why are you doing this? Let us go, you psychotic freak! What do you want?'
Everyone was surprised by Jae Suk's sudden outburst, and knew that the Boss had gotten on his nerves.
'Do it, before anyone gets hurt,' the Boss warned them calmly.
Everyone began to put on their costumes, while the PD helping Eun Hye.
'Why doesn't the PD have a costume of his own?' Kwang Soo asked.
'He probably has some kind of special mission or something,' His best friend, Joong Ki, answered without fail.
'I guess so,' Kwang Soo mumbled.
'Stop talking!' And then the boss started the countdown.
'10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2...'
Everyone finished changing, while Kwang Soo finished changing before the last second.
'Nice costumes! Especially Haha!' the Boss blushed.
'Me?' Haha was flattered, but found this absurd at the same time.
'Boss, I don't think Nick and I should be here,' Eun Hye let out a nervous laugh.
Ji Hyo shook her head in disapproval, seeing how shameless Eun Hye was.
'Oh you guys are the special guests! Now, shall we start the final mission?' the Boss cackled, giving everyone an eerie feeling.
(So, how was this chapter? What will the final mission be? Please vote and comment!! Ty!!)
