Sesame Player: the Unaired Episode

Description

Personalities clash in an unaired episode of Infinite's Sesame Player

Woohyun and Sungyeol plan an escape from their busy schedules to visit the amusement park Lotte World. After a promotional photoshoot for "Be Mine", the Infinite boys sneak out of their company van and run towards the bus stop. Their manager quickly catches on and hunts the members down, causing them to miss their bus to Lotte World. The plans are spoiled and in an effort to escape everyone separates: Myungsoo and Hoya are one group, Sunggyu and Sungyeol are the second group, and Woohyun, Sungjong, and Dongwoo are the last group. The boys try to make their ways to Lotte World and meet up together, but in the mean time they have to survive alone in groups with people they don't normally hang out with.

Foreword

"You guys have to hurry! That bus leaves in 2 minutes!" Sungyeol was way ahead of the pack when he realized that no one was behind him. He halted right next to a liquor store to look around, cautiously standing his ground just in case one of his managers popped up from behind. It was 10:00 and Sungyeol was one of the only people on the streets that morning, his body completely exposed to everyone around him. 

It had been another week of busy work for Infinite. Along with recorded peformances on music shows for their most recent comeback of "Be Mine", the boys have had two fansign events for inspirits, endless practices to perfect their sharp movements for their comeback, and a bountiful number of photoshoots. The members of Infinite had woken up at 4:00 that day for an early-morning photoshoot, only gaining 3-4 hours of sleep the night before. 

Sungyeol and Woohyun decided to use the much needed rest they need the night before to carefully plan out their next escape with the group, sneaking into the kitchen to talk details over a stovetop ramen. The plan this time was to run towards the nearest bus station the second they arrived back home to their dorms, leaving everything but their wallets to spend the day in Lotte World to go around their large indoor themepark. 

It was a perfect plan, but their manager had suspected something was going to happen when Sungjong accidentally sent a text to him that said, "When are we doing it?" As they arrived at their dorm, all of their managers and supervisors stood outside the steps waiting for Infinite's arrival to them inside. Their stern faces concerned the boys and instilled a fear in them. The Infinite members side-eyed each other, unsure of their next course of action. Everyone stayed silent as they approached the driveway. Sungyeol and Woohyun texted each other, trying to figure out their situation.

"We're busted," from Woohyun.

"No we're not, you have to believe," from Sungyeol.

"What can we do right now!?"

"Follow my lead."

Their manager parked the company van, their dorm in full view from their windows. Sungyeol sat in the passenger seat, turning to look at the manager's indifferent face. Sungyeol furrowed his eyebrows, determined to get his band to escape. The manager clicked his keys to park, distracted from looking in his rear view mirror. It was his chance. 

Sungyeol swung his car door and screamed at the top of his lungs. "LOTTE WORLD!!!!!" He raised his fist in the air and exited the car faster than any other Sesame Player episode. As he ran by the van, he grabbed the handle of the other van door and slid it open, every other member hopping out of the van to run away. Everyone shoved each other to leave, a chaotic scene as the managers watched it all unfold. The boys were off running down the alley, screaming at each other at the top of their lungs to get to the main street. The day has started.

Minutes later Sungyeol was out of breath, his hands on his knees as he was anticipating the rest of the members to come. He looked off into the distance and saw the silhouettes of six other people running. Sungyeol had a sigh of relief, thinking he had escaped his managers.

But his worries were far from over. A hoard of angry managers chased after them. Sungyeol held his breath, preparing for another tiring run. The act of rebellion was a thrill for Infinite, but the road to freedom was hard work. Sungyeol squinted his eyes and finally recognized the faces. Hoya and Sunggyu were ahead of the pack running with everyone else closely following from behind. Sunggyu leaped forward to get ahead of everyone and ran towards Sungyeol. 

"No!!!" Hoya stopped and looked behind him to hear what the noise was: Myungsoo ran his hip into a clothing store sign and was fell face flat into the cold morning concrete. Just that second, the managers were inching closer to get to them. Hoya panicked, running towards Myungsoo.

Sunggyu caught up to Sungyeol, both of them holding on to each other frantically. "Let's go inside here!" Sungyeol pointed at the sign for the liquor store, pulling on Sunggyu's arm to quickly drag him inside and hide. Sunggyu and Sungyeol ran in, the door ringing to announce their arrival. Sunggyu looked around the liquor store, trying to find a place to hide. It was dimly lit and empty, the cashier the only other person in the store. He spotted a hallway all the way in the back of the liquor store and pulled on Sungyeol's arm to follow.

Dongwoo, Sungjong, and Woohyun stopped from Myungsoo yelling and looked behind, seeing that he had tripped on the sidewalk. The three of them looked at each other, debating whether they should go and get him. 

"We have to get him!" Sungjong screamed.

Dongwoo looked out into the distance and saw the managers only seconds away now from approaching them. "No, we can't! We just have to go!" Dongwoo tugged on his maknae's jacket sleeve and pulled him forward to continue running down the sidewalk. Woohyun took one double take at Myungsoo, thinking it would be the right thing to help Myungsoo out. He looked both ways at Myungsoo trying to pick himself up and Dongwoo and Sungjong running away. Woohyun hesitated and closed his eyes. He had to make a last second decision, and he opted to follow Dongwoo and Sungjong down the street.

Hoya ran towards Myungsoo and helped him pick up on his feet. Both of them looked at each other with fear in their eyes as they noticed their managers catching up. "Are you ok??" Hoya asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. We have to go now!" Myungsoo declared, his heart beating fast from potentially getting caught.

Hoya and Myungsoo held onto each others hands, Myungsoo pulling him to follow Dongwoo, Sungjong, and Woohyun while Hoya pulled him to cross the street. The opposing forces stopped the two of them from moving, but Hoya made one last tug to force Myungsoo in his direction. Myungsoo stumbled but caught his balance to follow Hoya. They both ran across the street, running as fast as they could before the incoming traffic approached. Their managers had finally caught up to Myungsoo and Hoya's original position, looking across the street to follow. They had just missed them and they watched as a line of cars passed by, preventing them from following.

Hoya led Myungsoo to the subway transit, both of them continuing to hold hands as they made a desperate attempt to catch the leaving train. A second before it left, the two squeezed their way into the closing doors of the subway. Both of them looked behind their shoulders to look outside the train windows. No one had followed them.

Infinite escaped their managers just in time, but separated in the process. Myungsoo and Hoya hopped on a subway to an unknown destination, Sungjong, Woohyun, and Dongwoo continued to run as fast as they could down the road, and Sunggyu and Sungyeol stayed in hiding at the liquor store. For seven friends who considered themselves as brothers, everyone was paired with someone they would have never thought they would spend their whole day with. It had only been a year since Infinite debuted, and all their relationships have yet to be established. The day was not only an adventure to Lotte World, but an adventure to get to learn more about each other.

 


This is going to be a 3-one shot fanfic of the different ways the members get to Lotte World. Myungsoo/Hoya are the first, Sunggyu/Sungyeol are second, and Woohyun/Sungjong/Dongwoo are the last one shot chapter. This is another friendship fanfic of mine including every member of the band.

I'm always a fan of relationships that aren't the OTPs. Sunggyu/Sungyeol is one of my favorites The two of them together is hilarious and nothing but trouble because they are both polar opposites. Same goes for Woohyun/Sungjong/Dongwoo. More than anything I really wanted to experiment by putting Myungsoo/Hoya together because they tend to be a very professional relationship and I wanted to write something in which they were both stuck together without having any other members around them. This fanfic will not actually take place in the amusement park, but it is the journey for the 3 groups to get there. This is a comedy that will have some touching moments between the members.

I was inspired by this simply because Sesame Player is my favorite Infinite variety show and I've been wanting to write a spoof on it for so long! I hope all of you enjoy this. Once again, I had a blast thinking of the plot and writing everything. :D

Almost done writing the Gyuyeol chapter. It's going to be a different feel from the Myungya chapter, but in a very good way :)

Omg this is so adorable why did I just read this right now? I love all of the 'awkward' couples, you really did a good job on their personalities and what may happen when they are together. Their frindship is so cute XD I also love the concept of them escaping from their evil managers just to go and have fun in Lotte World. Haha, that just seems so in character XD There are a lot of touching and thrilling moments happening in this fic and I love it! Nobody also got left behind and they completed their journey as one. I'm so happy to be able to read this fic!

Chapter 3: I enjoy it. thank you ^^
.
myungsoo and hoya are trying to kill each other, respectively. sunggyu and sungyeol are like gramps and grandson in the zoo, both are whining to each other. and since dongwoo and woohyun are already close it will leave sungjong, the maknae to be taken care by the hyungs.

this fic is beautiful, it portrays their relationship very well... myungya is crazy, gyuyeol is hopeless, and 2woojong is endearing.
. nice bromance.
