Running Man: Mong Ji (Sequel: On Hold)

Chapter 79-I'm Sorry

"Geez, why are you guys here?" Ji Hyo was befuddled and gave skeptical looks to everyone.

"We... um...." Gary failed to even speak properly.

"Starting with Haha oppa," Ji Hyo ignored Gary and turned towards her left.

"I don't remember...." Before anyone knew it, Haha was clutching his head in pain again.

"Are you okay?" Jong Kook rushed to Haha.

Ji Hyo pretended to remain nonchalant and continued her interrogation. "Jong Kook oppa?"

"What?" Jong Kook sat Haha down on the floor.

"Why are you here?" Ji Hyo was set on clearing all her doubts and wanted to find out who the bad guy was.

"I... To be honest, I followed Haha here because he suddenly ran out of the ward and I wanted to see what he was up to..." Jong Kook gestured convincingly.

"Alright..." Ji Hyo said.

Just when Ji Hyo thought she could move on to the next person, Jong Kook exhaled deeply and said,"You don't believe me?"

"I do..." Ji Hyo gave in.

"You sound like you don't trust me," Jong Kook patted Haha's back as he was out of breath.

"Can we proceed?" Eun Hye spoke, but her voice sounded like someone else who was very familiar. Immediately after this, she coughed.

With no doubt, only the quick Ji Hyo caught this.

"She sounds like someone...." Ji Hyo thought.

"Gary, Kwang Soo?" Eun Hye's voice returned to normal.

"Don't call my name, you evil woman," Kwang Soo bore a grudge against Eun Hye, taking the fact that Eun Hye had tried to kill them so many times into consideration.

"Hmph," Eun Hye turned away.

"Guys... This is not the time to argue..." Ji Hyo chided.

"Then why were you here, Ji Hyo?" Gary looked serious.

"I..." Ji Hyo bit her lip in frustration.

"Noona wanted to convince that cruel lady over there not to end Running Man, am I right?" Kwang Soo looked at Ji Hyo for her response.

Eun Hye then gave Kwang Soo a dead glare, while Ji Hyo nodded meekly.

"Wait, how did you know?" Ji Hyo glared at Kwang Soo icily.

"Joong Ki said so..." Kwang Soo relented.

"What does Joong Ki have to do with this?" Ji Hyo was even more perplexed now.

"Kwang Soo told him what had happened, and he said judging by your personality, you would be rash enough to look for the person who ended Running Man. So, we called the PD but he's still in the hospital, so we guessed Eun Hye," Gary butted in.

"Are you serious? How did he even know?" Ji Hyo was mad at what they have done, but happy that Gary was so concerned about her to the extent that he came looking for her. Also, Joong Ki was now blacklisted by Ji Hyo.

"What's happening?" Haha blinked a few times.

"Why are you here?" Eun Hye emphasized the word "you".

"Where am I? Why am I here..." Haha whispered softly.

"Haha, you're awake!" Jong Kook grinned as he embraced Haha.

(In Jae Suk's house...)

"Thanks for letting me stay tonight," Suk Jin thanked the couple.
