“What do you mean you’re giving it away? I can still use it. It works perfectly fine,” Jong Kook argued over the phone.

“But we haven’t taken out our bikes in ages. They’re just rotting in my folks’ garage with the rest of the things that I should be discarding too,” Ji Hyo rebutted.

Earlier this week, the Running Man Cast members received a mission from Chul Min instructing them to bring something valuable that they couldn’t simply throw away but they wouldn’t mind giving to someone else. In an instant, Ji Hyo thought about the parked bikes that have been sitting in her storage for months.

“Why can’t you just bring something else for the mission? And what will I use on our next bike ride then?” He asked.

“Oppa with our recent schedules, I don’t know when we’ll be able to do that. I have upcoming promotions for my movie and you have a busy first quarter for your shows.”

He heaved a sigh and conceded, “Arasso, arasso. You bought the bike anyway. It’s your call.”

“Oppa, please don’t tell me you’re sulking about this. I’m just being practical since I need to sort out my stuff at my parents’ house. Besides, we’ve been using these bikes for years and we could always get new ones once we settle in our new house,” she explained.

“Ani. Gwenchana. You can just give it away if you want,” his voice still sounded upset.

Ji Hyo controlled herself from pushing her case further. Her fiance’s a sentimental guy. He still struggled about getting rid of his things and often felt dismayed when she encouraged him to do so. Sometimes, this issue would spark an argument between the couple but it would quickly pass. However, there are unavoidable circumstances such as this when Jong Kook would mope and Ji Hyo can’t help but feel annoyed.

“Arasso. See you tomorrow,” Ji Hyo coldly responded as she ended the call.

Brushing off Jong Kook’s feelings aside, she proceeded to make the necessary arrangements for the bikes to be delivered on set the following day.

When the cast members were gathered by Chul Min for their secret mission against Suk Jin and So Min, the staff immediately noticed the cold war between Jong Kook and Ji Hyo. Since the PD did not specify any seating arrangements, the cast were free to choose where they get to sit. Se Chan and Dong Hoon were caught off guard when they suddenly felt Jong Kook’s grip on their shoulders, forcing them to sit next to him, completely blocking off any opportunity for Ji Hyo to sit close.
