Liu grips the rim of his glasses, adjusting them appropriately so they rest on his nose. He exhales out a steady breath to calm his upsetting nerves, shaking his hands as he performed the familiar mantra in his head.
"One, two. One, two. It is just a little game, nothing more, nothing less."
He'd been muttering that mantra inside his head for a very long time. It helps that it could ameliorate him from his ever growing anxiety about the future that he will eventually take part in the one hundredth annual event of Running Man, but he'd never thought that he could actually join in.
Liu was never interested on winning the game, however, his elders forced him to compete in the substitute for his sister.
Thinking about her made his heart burn but he cleared out his emotions. He couldn't remember his failures now - what's more important is to get this over with and go home. Liu had more valuable things to work on in his home, where nobody could disturb him, and that idea seemed great right about now.
For the meantime though, he has to pretend that he needed to win for him to achieve the Materion or disappoint his tribe for being uncooperative to their goal.
