Meanwhile, while all this drama and intense chasing was going on, Sulli remained in the room where Minho had left her. Hearing that Minho and Minhyuk had been eliminated and several bells, yells and stomps, it had suddenly become quiet. She was surprised to hear Minho’s elimination, but then quickly covering before making any sound. She continued to keep quiet until she heard the signal for the next round to begin, and after the staff attached the bell to her foot, she walked outside the door of the room. It was the last round, and since she was on the offense, she didn’t want to waste any time helping her team mates. The thing was, where does she go?

"Omo? Where did everyone go??" She said to herself as she was at the empty hallway. She made a mental note to thank Minho later for protecting her, and smiled when she thought about how he secretly protected her from being caught by Minhyuk and you.

"So much like Kang Tae Joon" she commented as she walked off, hoping to find her other team mates quickly.

You, on the other hand, continued to run. Thinking that Eunhyuk was athletic only made you push yourself harder to run faster. You heard Minhyuk’s elimination shortly after turning at the second corner and you suddenly felt the anticipation and anxiety riding on your back. You couldn’t be weak now, it was only you left in the team, and you have to survive.

Yet your exhaustion caught the better of you as you found yourself running out of breath and slowing down. No, no—curse you weak athleticisim!!! You yelled in your head as you slowed down to brisk walking, before finally stopping and leaning on the wall. Thinking Donghae was still behind you, you shook your head.

"Oppa, mian, I'm not as athletic." You breathed as you wiped your forehead, waiting for his encouragements to keep running and to move faster. And yet… there was no reply from him. "Oppa?"

You turned around, checking if Donghae was also out of breath or waiting for you, but he was no where in sight. You stood in disbelief. You couldn't have possibly outrun him. He, for sure, was more athletic than you, since he worked out and had greater stamina than you. You nodded—that man has enough energy to have concerts with his team, let alone sing and dance on stage. How could he not be able to catch up?

"Oppa?" You called, and bit your lip. You began to feel more nervous than ever. Where could he possibly be?

You were going to retrace your steps, to see if you had left him behind (although you wouldn't believe that you might've left him behind, still, you just wanted to be sure), until you heard a distant clinking sound that sounded like it was getting louder with each quick step.

Oh no.

Meanwhile, after Eunhyuk had eliminated Minhyuk, he immediately went in the same direction you both had run off to. He knew exactly where you two were, since Donghae still had his bells attached to his foot. Easily being able to follow the sound, he went to find where you and Donghae were headed. The minute he turned however, he was surprised to see you standing there alone.

"O-oppa!" You said in surprise. Eunhyuk looked around, and you managed to smile at his confusion, despite you being nervous.

"Where is Donghae?" He asked as he couldn't hold his smile. Seeing you surprised and also alone when you had run off with Donghae made him a bit confused and all he could do was just laugh. “How come he's not with you?"

"No, I was also wondering where he was." You replied as he nodded. Taking his chance, he thought that maybe he can eliminate you before he arrived. He began to step forward when you jumped and felt even more nervous than ever.

"Opppaaaa~" You squeaked as he laughed at your sudden reaction.

"Don't be like this, you're making it hard for me." He said as he just walked over. "Honestly, I wouldn't take your name tag but this is for the team."

You sighed. That's right. Eunhyuk's in the opposing team, and this is what's expected. It was just a game anyway, and after all this you'll just walk out and just laugh at the fun time. Maybe… maybe it’s time to give up.

"Ah arasso, go on ahead."  You said as you smiled, and he smiled back.

"Thanks. Don't worry, you did really well today so don't be disappointed in yourself."

"Okay, thanks oppa." You replied, no longer putting up a fight as he was reaching for your name tag. You closed your eyes, and you heard the rip. You anticipated your name being announced when you heard something else that surprised you altogether.

Eunhyuk, OUT.
