Oppa-

Oh my goodness, oppa! I just received/ read your letters!

. I feel so horrible now. I’m so sorry I said what I said.

Oppa, you’re still not picking up my calls. Why won’t you just answer?! You’re making me so worried about you…

Oppa…

Urgh. Let me try calling you again.

 

Nope, you rejected my call again.

Maybe I should respect your decision and let you spend some time in your cave. All along, I/ we have been thinking that it is only hard on us, but I think it is equally hard on you too. And I am sorry that it took me this long to realise it.

You are the one doing music, and we say as if we know about it. We assume that running man should only take up one day of your time, and it wouldn’t affect your composition.

But you are the one composing. You have been doing it for 20 years. You are the one who understands its challenges, not us. And at this stage, we should be supporting you, and not questioning you. By questioning you, I feel like I'm taking away important things from you. Your confidence in your choice, and your trust (in us) that we'll understand you. 

I am sorry that I questioned you, oppa. I’m sorry all I did was to blame you. Knowing how important we are to you, I am guessing that we’re hurting you a lot, too.

Oppa, please don’t blame yourself anymore. Please, just don’t. It hurts me enough that you are leaving… seeing you wallowing in self-pity… I just ca

Chapter 16: I know chap 12 wasn't suppose to be a cliffhanger but the timing was perfect. I'm not sure if you're subtly hinting a change in their relationship. Updaye soon authornim

Chapter 16: I've just got to see it out till the end. Had they created a season 2 with Kang Ho Dong and whoever else, I probably wouldn't have continued. But now, even as I am filled with a lot of sorrow, I've got to see every last bit of my favorite group of friends while I can. Fighting, Running Man!

Chapter 14: Authornim thank you for updating. Anyway when are they going to meet and talk? Can you write about them meeting accidentally after a long time they havent seen each other? And them being all awkward and shy. I want a story where there's an angsty and sweet story. Thankyou!!

Chapter 10: you're always so able to tap into their characters and emotions... i have a hard time imagining that Gary and Jihyo feel any way BUT the way you wrote them out to be. its just that real.
i wonder if gary really does feel scared that he's run out of things to write... i wonder if he does think that music will let him go if he leaves it..
it's going to be hard to watch that episode tomorrow. but let's smile and laugh through it all, because that's the way they'd want it to be.
