Joon's Master Plan to Escape This Nonsense

Step 1: Pack essentials. ✅

Step 2: Avoid all stalkers. ✅

Step 3: Disappear into the countryside and become a potato farmer. ✅???

Joon, looking at his reflection: "I was meant for a simple life."

Ding! [Mission Alert!]

🚨 [Warning: Attempting to escape will trigger Fate's Wrath!]

💀 [Penalty: -1000 Luck Points + Public Embarrassment!]

Joon: "…PUBLIC EMBARRASSMENT?!"

System: "It's you. Did you think you'd escape quietly?"

Joon: "Fair point."

"Minho is winning. He has the boyfriend vibes."

"Mirae is unhinged but iconic."

"Joon is literally trying to quit life."

Joon, sighing: "At least they understand me."

The Great Escape (That Fails Instantly)

Joon tiptoed out of the dorm.

Security Guard: "Sir, where are you going?"

Joon: "…To buy milk."

Security Guard: "You're carrying a suitcase."

Joon: "It's a very BIG milk carton."

Security Guard: "…"

Joon, internally: "He's not buying it."

Minho Catches Him

Minho appeared out of nowhere.

Minho: "Going somewhere?"

Joon: "AHH—NO. DEFINITELY NOT."

Minho: "…"

Minho: "Are you running away?"

Joon, sweating: "PFFT. NO. WHY WOULD I—"

Minho, grabbing Joon's suitcase and opening it.

Minho: "You packed instant noodles, a toothbrush, and a rock??"

Joon: "THAT ROCK HAS SENTIMENTAL VALUE!"

Minho, sighing: "You're an idiot."

Joon: "Thanks. Now let me go."

Minho, smirking: "Nope."

He lifted Joon over his shoulder like a sack of rice.

Joon, kicking: "PUT ME DOWN, YOU CAVEMAN!"

Minho, walking away: "Nah. You're mine now."

Joon: "I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS."

Meanwhile, Mirae was cooking up another scheme.

Mirae: "If I can't have Joon, NO ONE CAN."

Her assistant: "…That sounds a little murder-y."

Mirae: "Good."
