MONDAY COUPLE: The Ending to Start a New Beginning
Please Subscribe to read the full chapter

After last weeks final episode of Gary, everyone were left asking for more seeing the preview for the next week episode. And YES, there is still one more episode for Gary without his knowledge.

 

MONDAY:

Gary is in his studio doing some work. Well he's feeling weird because his body is used to running every Monday. He was sad after thinking about the members, he felt lonely without seeing the members and lonelier thinking about not seeing Ji Hyo anymore. To be able to get over his "MONDAY SYNDROME" he kept his self busy.

 

RUNNING MAN FILMING:

The rest of the MCs meet up at Dosan Park in Gangnam, Seoul. They comment on the previews at the end of last week’s episode that mentioned that this wasn’t the end of Gary. Does that mean Gary’s coming back? Actually, this is just a guest appearance, which means that he doesn’t get paid. Ha!

Yoo Jae-suk walks in with a bag, flag, and speakerphone. He looks like some kind of low budget tour guide. Yoo Jae-suk will be giving a tour of Apgujeong which is a ritzy neighborhood in Gangnam. Lee Kwang-soo jokingly asks if Gary is hiding in that bag, but it just contains jackets with nametags for each team member.

Now that Gary is gone, they feel like something’s missing, so the PD sends them go on a “Deficiency Trip” to fill up that void in their hearts.

It’s a six part course that they have to finish in six hours. The trip will consist of

Course 1: Chinese Restaurant – a delicious lunch Course 2: Cafe – a sweet dessert Course 3: Karaoke – fun singing Course 4: Photo Zone – souvenir photos Course 5: Han River – riding bikes Course 6: Shopping – buying souvenirs

Most of these are expensive activities that Yoo Jae-suk couldn’t do when he was poor and struggling. They will get a punishment for each mission they fail to accomplish within the allotted six hours. For the trip, they will be given a stipend, phone, and vehicle. However, because it’s called the “Deficiency Trip,” they only have

36,180 won (2016 Korean minimum wage x 6 hours) 7% battery life on their cellphone low gas

Since the stipend is so low, there will be a mission at each location for a chance to save money. The PD confiscates everyone’s wallets and cellphones.

The MCs get in their van and notice that they really don’t have much gas left. The cellphone battery is down to 6%, so they decide to turn it off, but not before turning on the battery save mode and lowering the screen brightness all the way down. That’s pretty smart.

On their first course at a Chinese restaurant, there are two menus labelled “A” and “B.” After playing rock–paper–scissors, Ji Suk-jin wins and chooses to go with “A” which is a black bean noodles, spicy seafood noodles, and sweet and sour pork set for 29,000 won.

Yoo Jae-suk and Ji Suk-jin reminisce on how they ate here back when they lived in the poor district of Suyu, on the other side of the Han River. Yoo Jae-suk and Ji Suk-jin recognize the manager of the restaurant who’s worked there for 31 years. He was a waiter back then, but he’s been promoted since. Back then Yoo Jae-suk used to order two servings of food for four people.

There’s not enough food for six people, so they fight over who gets to eat what. They decide to order a bowl of rice (1,000 won) to mix with the leftover black bean sauce since they’re still hungry.

Now that they’re done eating, it’s time for a mission. The PD asks them if they feel something’s missing since they’re used to seven members. They comment that Gary really liked black bean noodles.

The PD announces that they have a 50% discount chance. Their mission is to call Gary and get him to say the words, “I want to film.” They have just one minute for the call. Yoo Jae-suk rings Gary and tries to trick him into thinking Seolhyun of AOA is there. Song Ji-hyo pretends to be Seolhyun, but sounds nothing like her. The MCs use up all their time yelling at Song Ji-hyo.

The PD gives them another chance if they give up a personal item. Kim Jong-kook volunteers his jacket. The second time around, Yoo Jae-suk says, “Gary, I want to film with you.” Gary responds, “I want to film with you too.” Success! They hang up as soon as he says it because they have to conserve every bit of battery.

It’s another 3,000 won for the valet parking, and unfortunately it seems like they’ll be paying that much at every stop, because that’s how parking usually works in Apgujeong.

Course two is a cafe. Once they arrive, they have to choose seat “A” or “B.” They go with “A” which is a crepe cake and two iced Americanos that cost 19,000 won. That’s more money than they have. Option “B” is cheaper but it’s just an iced Americano and cafe latte.

Once again, the MCs fight over the food since the six of them have to share a single slice of cake. Lee Kwang-soo grabs the plate and it clean. Song Ji-hyo and Ji Suk-jin don’t realize that and scrape out the leftover frosting. Gross.

The 50% discount mission is another call to Gary. However, this time, they have to do a speed quiz and get Gary to guess six words in one minute. The first few are Berlin, Nairobi, and Cairo. Gary is bad at geography. He doesn’t know the capitals of Kenya or Egypt, so they only get to three. They hang up quickly to conserve, but Gary calls them back. Aw. It
