「 sᴇʀᴇɴɪᴛʏ 」

[SMS: Elsa Unnie] It’s been really hectic because of Sistar’s comeback

That early morning of September began with a group of Running Man’s regular casts gathered on one area of Han River, already set in their sport outfits. The PD made his cue and the recording was started with a small talk and jokes to warm up the opening. As the segments were properly organized, they entered the session of introducing the line of idols as special guests for that day. As they entered the area one by one, Mir was busy playing around with a camera by making weird faces before he got called out.

The camera was already rolling when Mir made his entrance to the meeting spot, dressing up in complete set of sport clothes from head to toe. Punching the air playfully as if he was a boxer, Mir made his way in to join the revealed guest star for the popular variety show. It was his first time being a guest alone, he revealed. “I didn’t have good record in sports, although it’s easy for me to gain some muscle mass. I used to joke around a lot whenever we shooted for that idol championship show every year as I’m not the type who’s being serious on sport competition. Even the members were surprised that I was invited alone to this show,” his explanation brought in a light atmosphere within the regular casts and a line of other guests. “But what I heard is, I got an offer because I was appeared in a health magazine recently.” The male couldn’t help to brag about his recent appearance on the latest spread of the popular magazine. As he was challenged to show off some skin, Mir confidently lifted the hem of his tees and exposed his pride toward his hipbone. A run of applause and cheers boiled the young male’s sense although he enjoyed the attention a lot.

“But that’s not the only reason why you’re here, Mir-ssi,” the senior warned him. “All the young guests here were once inspired by their senior from the previous generation before them. So, the surprise for today is, you will be paired with your favorite senior, as some of you are known as their biggest fans.”

“…Does it mean god sunbae-nim are here?” Mir’s eyes already widden as he threw the question. “Does it mean they cancel their concert schedule just to be paired with me? I hope it’s Son Ho Young sunbae-nim is my partner today.”

“Ah…I’m sorry then, Mir-ssi—” Everybody errupted in laughter as the male’s dream was burried right before his eyes. He playfully displayed a disappointed expression, but quickly recovered the moment by showing his smiling face again. “Well, then, let’s not wait any longer. Our stars, please come in!”

The car ride was actually pretty short considering how early they hit the road, avoiding much traffic that would have all cars in a stand still in the hours to come. Taeyeon sat in the passenger's seat obediently as her manager ran through a list of things she had to note in order to salvage what's left of her good reputation and rehabilitate it so that her dating 'scandal' wouldn't affect her career too much. Smile heaps; got it. Overract to get more screen time; check. Bring out that ahjumma; got it in the bag.  

Slipping out of her seat and onto the filming set behind the scenes, she greeted everyone with a polite smile complete with a 90 degree bow. It wasn't long till she had a mic-piece fitted onto her clothes to make sure that everything she said would be heard and recorded. She followed the instructions of the director as she gingerly followed after him to wait for her cue to enter the zone of cameras. In fact, one was already on her as they intended to use footages of her waiting anxiously before her arrival. Cupping her mouth with one hand, she leaned towards the camera and whispered cheekily. "I wonder who my fanboy is, I hope they don't die." She bit on her tongue with shrugged shoulders just as she released a soft snicker.  

Female staff members hovered around her nervously even though she had memorized quite a few faces from the previous times she had guest starred on Running man. Perhaps the effects of being starstruck never leaves one's system no matter how many encounters one can have with certain idols. Her stylists nitpicked at her attire being a light pastel sun dress with floral printings on it, with a waistline that hugged her figure nicely; making sure that there were no crinkles to be in sight. Tucking the strands of her cardigan away, they gave her a pat down and smiled warmly at her. It was only after she twisted the blond ends of her fishtail she was ushered to scamper into everyone's view.
