Trapped

Weeks passed by. Guests came but they eventually had to leave. For the past weeks, they met a lot of different people with different personalities. They came to know of different stories, different lessons in life and they came to realize how lucky they were.

The group did very well for the first month but the producers and the director realized the show was too - ordinary.

Despite the fact that they had 4 of the most popular people recently, it seemed like something was missing.

"We need more people." Kiwoong pointed out. "It's not entertaining to only see the four of us in every episode. It's better if you arrange for weekly helpers. It might be fun."

"I was thinking of the same thing." Hyunwoo nodded his head. It was a free week for them. They were still at the inn but they had no guests.

"Invite some then!" Chanyeol happily said - excited to interact with more sunbaes or hoobaes in the industry.

Hyunwoo and Eunkyung looked at the young man with disbelief.

Did he know how hard it was to invite people to a show? A reality show at that.

"It's not that easy." Jiyong answered for them. "We're shooting a reality show, celebrities would see it as something that could most probably affect their image. If we do get people who are willing, we have to consider thier schedules."

"We'll invite people then." Dara happily chimed as she showed her phone to the people she was with. "I mean, we could do the inviting and you do the business side of things."

"Dara's right!" Kiwoong then excitedly got his phone out to send his friends messages.

Who should I invite? Chanyeol lamented seriously. His members were also fond of 2ne1 and he wasn't going to risk the chance of them hogging his alone time with his Dara Noona.

A few minutes later, he sent all his members a text message. It wasn't as if they all had free time, right?

Kiwoong knew exactly who to invite over so it didn't take long for him.

Dara invited quite a few people. She invited celebrities that she knew - not just in Korea. It'd be a good exposure for them!

Jiyong didn't really want to invite people over, especially those who were friends with both him and Dara because they could slip up and leave hints behind but he knew if he did invite people who weren't familiar to Dara - given that they'd have to work together, she'd be awkward and uncomfortable.

He sighed before sending text messages to his friends and people - he thinks, could be invited. He even sent Yang Hyun Suk a message, explaining the situation so that he could arrange for people from their subcompanies.

Youngsoon and Wonshik were in their room. They had just finished dinner. It was unusual for Youngsoon to be inside her room as early as 9 PM because she had always helped the kids with cleaning but Dara and Kiwoong insisted for her to rest up and leave the cleaning to them.

"Yeobo." She called her husband who was busy looking at their guest list for the next week.

"Hmm?"

"I'm worried."

"About?" Wonshik placed the list down as he gave his wife his full attention. He had also observed that his wife was worrying over something for some time now but he didn't ask her. He waited for her to tell him herself - like he always did.

"A lot of things." She sighed as she snuggled closer to her husband. "I'm worried about the show - what if it doesn't reach our expectations? I'm worried about the inn - what happens if we leave? Most especially, I'm worried about Dara and Jiyong."
