Ivy woke up to find that she had a text from Jong Kook and Yoongi, as well as a missed phone call and voicemail. She quickly checked over the texts, Jong Kook simply saying good morning and to have a good day though he had sent it at 7:15 am and it really concerned her that he could possibly be awake at that hour considering when he must have gotten back home. Yoongi on the other hand had asked her to come over again and hang out with the guys before they started having insane schedules due to their comeback. Ivy quickly responded to both and let Yoongi know that she was more than happy to come over. The voicemail however struck her as odd. It was from the Running Man PD and while it didn't sound bad it was a little stressful being told to give him a call back and that he had something important to discuss with her.

“Yobuseoyo?” The PD answered the call a lot quicker than Ivy had anticipated but she recovered quickly.

“Annyeonghaseyo, Ivy-ibnida, you asked me to give you a call?” Ivy was bracing herself for whatever she was about to hear, though she couldn't help but expect to get a scolding. She still hadn't watched the episode that they had sent her but she was desperately worried that they had been upset with the antics of her and the boys.

“Ah, ye, you know that the YouTuber's episode aired on Sunday right?” The PD paused just long enough for Ivy to hum her acknowledgement before continuing. “Well we just got the ratings back and they were through the roof. Some of the top search words for this week so far have been your name and Running Man.”

“Ah that's very good to hear! I'm happy that it went over so well, I was worried that you were going to be upset with me,” Ivy chuckled a bit and the PD laughed along with her.

“No, not at all. We were very pleased with this episode,” The PD took a moment to clear his throating, pausing once again to continue in a more serious tone. “You may not be aware but Kang Gary is actually leaving us to focus on his music, so we will have a space that we need to fill for the cast. We were wondering if maybe you would be interested in taking over his spot?”

“Ah, you're doing a hidden camera aren't you? Is this Kwangsoo Oppa? HaHa Oppa?” Ivy asked as she deflated into her pillows with a bit of laughter.

“This isn't a joke. We seriously would like for you to consider joining Running Man as a full time cast member,” The PD's voice was clear and firm but Ivy was still having a hard time processing it. There was just no way that they really wanted to keep her on full time.

“I'd love to but I'm still just here on a travel visa, wouldn't that be a problem?” Ivy asked bringing to light some of her concerns.

“We can help to take care of that, don't worry. If you really want to join we'd love for you to come down to SBS and take a look over a contract with us. We could set up an appointment with you at 3 pm tomorrow if you like,” The PD seemed to seriously want to push Ivy to do it and she couldn't complain. This was her dream job after all.

“Sure that should be fine,” Ivy agreed and the PD quickly gathered all the details he needed before they finished the phone call and Ivy laid down onto the bed. She was really going to do this. This meant that she would be moving to Seoul and working full time with Running Man. She was having conflicting feelings about it though, not because of her but because that meant that Gary was really leaving and it hurt her heart a bit. She had always loved Running Man and knowing that they were going to lose one of their members was tough. She couldn't even imagine what the members were thinking.

Ivy sat up and slapped both of her cheeks lightly to break herself out of her thoughts. She had to get ready to head over to see Yoongi and it wouldn't be a great visit if she was being teary over Gary. She quickly put on some make up and changed into something cute and comfortable before heading out.

It didn't take her long to get to the dorms and this time when Jungkook opened the door he didn't panic so much. He didn't really smile but he didn't freak out either.

“Hi Noona,” Jungkook said simply before moving and letting her into the apartment.

“Aw! Jungkookie! Can't you at least give me a hug? You're my adorable baby bunny after all!” Ivy said as she caught up to Jungkook and wrapped her arms around him from the back. The Maknae stiffened at the action and squirmed a bit trying to get her to let go.

“Aish, not this again. He'll be so spoiled by you! Can't you just pay attention to me instead?” Yoongi complained from his spot on the couch as he looked over to Ivy with pout.

“Ani, the baby bunny is my child remember?” Ivy said with a chuckle as she released Jungkook and ruffled his hair.

“Why would you like him that much? He's just a muscle pig,” Taehyung said as he pouted on the floor in front of Yoongi.

“He's just a baby that's why,” Ivy said as she came over to sit next to Yoongi on the couch. “Are you really that worried about how much I care about Kookie?”

“Ani, I just don't like having to deal with his mouth afterwards,” Yoongi said before heightening the pitch of his voice to mock Jungkook. “Noona's so nice, she thinks I'm adorable. Everyone loves me, even your girlfriend hyung. I'm the golden maknae, everyone takes care of me. Noona's going to love me more than you.”

“Hyung! I never said that!” Jungkook exclaimed as his face went beet red.

“Aigoo, you two need to stop bickering,” Jin called as he entered the living room with a tray filled with food. Ivy rushed over and started to grab some of the more precariously placed dishes so that they wouldn't fall. Jin nodded towards her and thanked her lightly as he began setting the other dishes onto the coffee table. “At least someone knows how to help.”

“Hyung, if you would have asked I would have helped,” Jimin said bounding into the room.

“You banned me from touching dishes I wasn't eating from remember?” Namjoon said without looking up from his phone.

“What's going on?” Hoseok asked as he entered the living room with a towel around his neck.

“Jin hyung is upset because only Noona helped to get the dishes from the kitchen to the coffee table. I didn't even realize he was making food,” Tae answered with a blank look on his face.

“Jungkook was too busy trying to move in on my girlfriend for me to help,” Yoongi said with a huff as he crossed his arms.

“I wasn't trying to make a move on Noona. She's the one who hugged me,” Jungkook said in a small voice.

“It's okay Baby Bunny, Yoongi is just being jealous because I didn't hug him first,” Ivy said as she took a seat on the floor at the end of the coffee table. She didn't miss Yoongi's pout as she crossed her legs.

“Noona is just the nicest isn't she?” Hoseok beamed as he took a seat on Ivy's right.

“Noona, why don't you sit on the couch with me?” Yoongi offered in a pitiful voice.

“I'm already comfy down here,” Ivy said as she took the chopsticks that Jin handed her. “Jin-ah, want to hear a funny joke?”

“Ne, Noona,” Jin answered as he sat on her left.

“A man walks into a bar. The man says 'ow'.” Jin's windshield wiper laugh and the other boys's groans let Ivy know she had hit the right target. “A kimbap roll walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender says, 'Sorry we don't serve food here.'”

Jin's laughter got harder and now even Jimin and Tae were laughing along. Ivy was on a roll and she wasn't going to stop until she had the whole room laughing. Now she just had to find the right jokes. Thank god Angie was always telling her dad jokes.

“Why do chicken coops only have two doors? If they had four they'd be chicken sedans,” Now Hoseok and Jungkook were laughing. Only two more to go. “I used to work at a calendar factory but I got the sack because I took a couple of days off.”

A grin split Yoongi's face but neither him nor Namjoon laughed. Jin was laughing so hard by this point though, that Ivy thought he might hurt himself. The other boys were reduced to giggling messes on the ground. Maybe she could do it with one more.

“I had a dream I was a muffler last night. I woke up exhausted,” Namjoon snorted a bit at this one. Ivy had lost Yoongi though. She'd aim for Namjoon first. “How do you tell a frog from a toad? A frog says 'ribbit ribbit' a toad says 'rub it, rub it'.”

Namjoon almost choked on his water making the other boys, besides Yoongi, howl with laughter. Ivy was almost to the end of her list of jokes but she wasn't giving up. She'd make the whole room laugh with dad jokes if it was the last thing she did.

“What was Beethoven's favorite fruit?” Yoongi's eyes darted to meet Ivy's. She had him. This one was going to kill. “BA-NA-NA-NA!”

Ivy made sure to sing it as well as she could through her own chuckles and watched as Yoongi lost his mind. He laughed so hard that he started to lean into Namjoon for support. The entire room was cracking up and Ivy couldn't help but laugh along with them. This was probably the best time she'd had off camera since she got to Korea.

“You have to teach me your jokes!” Jin said as he finally composed himself, still wiping tears from his eyes.

“Of course I will! I want to be able to see you guys laugh like this more often,” Ivy said lightly patting his shoulder.

“But we do laugh like this a lot Noona,” Tae said giving Ivy a confused look.

“Ya! I'm a fangirl remember? I watch your vlive's. I know you laugh a lot but there are times when it's strained. I want you to laugh more freely like this. I hate it when you guys work yourselves so hard. I want you to always remember that we, the fans, want to know that you're doing well and staying healthy. So remember to laugh more genuinely and use these jokes when you need to laugh,” Ivy said with a gentle smile to the younger boy.

“You make it sound like you won't be around to make us laugh like this Jagiya,” Yoongi said, a distraught look overtaking his features.

“I won't always be around guys. I have a job too remember? Speaking of which I have news, but you can't tell anyone about it yet okay?” Ivy said placing a finger to her lips with a wink.

“What's up Noona?” Jungkook asked looking up shyly.

“Nothing is set in stone yet but you might just be looking at the newest cast member for Running Man!” The boys erupted into raucous whoops and hollers as Ivy giggled. Yoongi even got up from the couch to pull Ivy into a tight hug.

“That means you'll be staying in Korea right?” Jimin asked as the others started to quiet down.

“That means we'll be able to see you more!” Hoseok said as the group started to cheer again.

“Jinja Jagiya? You're staying in Korea?” Yoongi said with loving eyes as he cupped Ivy's cheek in his hand.

“Eung, I'm staying in Korea,” Ivy had barely finished her answer before Yoongi planted his lips on hers. There were a chorus of cheers, ew's, and 'get a room!' but it didn't make the kiss any less sweet. Ivy couldn't have asked for a better congratulation at that point.
