Bon 2021Author’s Note:
Took the prompt generated challenge: Jong Kook holding Ji Hyo very close, close enough to smell her hair. He whispered into Ji Hyo’s ear: “I don’t like your new shampoo.”

Yoo Jae Suk scrunched his nose as soon as he stepped his foot on the set of Running Man that morning. A startling yet faint unfamiliar scent had welcomed him despite having two masks covering his nose. Glancing around the room and based on the looks of the staff, it seems like he’s the only person who has taken notice of the strange smell. He brushed it aside thinking that it might just be one of the crew members’ new perfume or probably his sensitive nose might’ve been acting up too.
He shook his head, trying to get rid of the scent completely when Kim Jong Kook arrived and caught him in the act. His muscled-maknae raised his brow at him.
“What’s the matter, hyung?” Jong Kook asked, wondering if he had missed out on something.
“Can you smell that?” Jae Suk squeezed his face once more, shutting his eyes and then opening them wide, in another failed attempt to wipe away the scent’s trace.

“Take your time. I heard Seok Jin hyung’s already hogging him and the poor young lady who’s in-charge of putting his mic today. He wouldn’t shut up about the time he earned from his investment some time ago,” Jae Suk suggested.
“You mean several years ago,” Jong Kook chuckled. “It hasn’t been long since he’d been this excited for an episode theme.”
“That is until his luck ruins it all,” Jae Suk instantly fired back.
Jong Kook laughed and nodded, causing several heads to turn towards their direction.

What did Song Ji Hyo know of it?
None, except for the fact that Jee Seok Jin had been bragging about his knowledge and personal experience on it for the last 11 years.
She stared mindlessly at the data flashed on the screen, without a clue on how to go about today’s episode.
Observing everyone in the room, it seems like Seok Jin was the only confident player among the members. Everyone else, including Jae Suk, was carefully studying the available information as they tried to recall the relevant
