I shifted my feet nervously, awaiting the plague doctor to call out the next person. Instead, he recapped the most memorable moments thus far, highlighting individual reactions to Jungkook reading smut.

"The sasaeng fan is living her dream, but Hongjoong is not feeling it."

He displayed a clip of Hari biting her lip with a gleam in her eyes. For contrast, he showed Hongjoong staring at the outrageous fan fiction, an involuntary grimace frozen on his face.

"Let's see how many others dare lie and face punishment. Han, you're up."

Han suddenly looked very small and a lot younger than his age as he walked to the center.

"Have you ever been on medication for mental health issues?"

Han shot a panicked look at Bang Chan while attempting to sink his hands into his pockets, only to realize his clothes were now those cotton garments with no pockets.

"At one time, I took some for anxiety and... So, if that counts. Then yes..." Han mumbled, rolling his sleeves and crossing his arms, only to feel dissatisfied in that position. He pulled the sleeves down again.

"So, you were on medication for mental health issues?"

"Yeah..." Han answered, his voice barely audible.

"That is true," the plague doctor confirmed, waving Han away with a flick of his wrist.

Then he called Bang Chan to the center.

"If you had to kick one member out of Stray Kids, who would it be?"

Bang Chan took a deep breath, exhaling slowly.

"Everyone's important to the group."

He proceeded to analyzing each member's strengths.

"Hyunjin has a charm that draws people in, Felix has a cool low voice, Bin has the attitude, Jisung is good at everything, the choreographies would be nothing without Minho, Seungmin sings like an angel, and I.Nie is both cute and sings well."

He lifted a finger in sudden revelation.

"I would kick myself out of the group. It would be cool to hear what they would create without me in charge."

The plague doctor yawned.

"Why are you so boring?"

Bang Chan furrowed his brow.

"It's true, right? I would kick myself out?"

"Yes. It's true. Get away from the center."

The kidnapper turned his head to Yeosang, who quickly rushed to the expected place even before he was called there.

"Have you undergone plastic surgery?"

Yeosang responded with a casual "mmm," as if he were on a typical talk show, interacting with a regular host. He employed polite manners, nodding to convey that he was paying attention and fully engaged in the conversation.

"I actually wanted to get plastic surgery when I was a trainee because many of the kids did it, and I wasn't happy with my looks, but the surgeon didn't let me. He said I was too handsome already."

Only Yeosang could say something like that and not sound like a total jerk who was full of himself.

"I even tried to make him remove my birthmark, but he said it was unique and that it wouldn't have looked good after removing. I wonder who hired someone like him. Shouldn't they always aim for profit?"

The kidnapper was annoyed for not being able to expose Yeosang.

"You didn't have any plastic surgery done?" he flatly asked for confirmation.
