All the members sat in a stuffy meeting room with a project at the front at the center of the room. The managers and a few other coworkers were also at the meeting. Jungkook looked around the room trying to find a distraction from the odd sensation in his stomach. His throat hurt, he was congested and he had an endless seeming amount of phlegm. All day he'd sniffle and get odd looks. He Kept tissues in his pocket, just in case. Jungkook had a doctor's appointment scheduled, and he planned to go.. but then hybes meeting got canceled and rescheduled at the same time. The meeting was important he had to go. His appointment could wait a little longer. His manager said that if the symptoms weren't too bad that he should try being at the meeting which was going to explain how the haunted maze was going to go about along with other information about the things happening this coming up month. Plus with the sneezing painful throat and general congestion he could just have a cold. It was the occasional swirl in his stomach that would catch him off guard every so often in the day and make his symptoms feel ten times worse. He tried not to focus so much on how he was feeling anymore, he needed to pay attention. He looked back to the manager who explained the plans for the next run bts. He's glad he began paying attention right at the time the manager was explaining who would be who's partner. He tried to continue listening to the meeting without sniffling too much.

They had started filming, and they were being explained the rules of this particular run episode. They were going to be looking for hidden objects in a haunted maze. It made sense that they were doing a Halloween-themed run, it will be October by the time this run episode comes out. Each member wore the same color the partner or group wore. Jimin, jin, and tae wore green, yoongi and hoseok wore red and Himself and Namjoon wore blue. Everyone wore helmets that contained cameras. Jks straps felt too tight, it pushed into his face and messed with his sinuses. The blue vest he wore also bothered him. There was a white reflective strap around it that dug into his belly making him quite uncomfortable. Each team was given a bag matching to there team's vest. One person in each group was designated to hold each bag. Jk held the bag for him and namjoon. He kinda wishes he wasn't the one to hold it, he'd rather hold his aching stomach when it felt upset. The game was about to start. He's glad he has namjoon as a partner, his stomach kept distracting him from listening to the rules. "START" was yelled out behind the camera crew and each team scrambled off in different directions. Jungkook simply followed Namjoon. He was lagging a bit behind having a hard time catching up with the others. Namjoon ran to his first clue. It was a white piece of paper wedged into a bush. Namjoonn crouched down to read the paper, jk crouched beside him and listen as he read. " we gotta go down the path furthest to the right and find our first hidden object there." Namjoon stood to his feet and started walking jk did the same. His bag swung back and forth as he walked.
The two almost forgot this was a haunted maze for a minute, but, they were reminded when a guy in an oddly shapen mask and a chainsaw jump out in front of them. They both screamed and ran around the man. once they got to a brightly colored area they slowed their pace. Jk was huffing, he coughed into his elbow trying to catch his breath and clear the phlegm in his throat. Namjoon was also trying to catch his breath only difference was his smile cheek to cheek, It was exhilarating and fun. Jungkook wasn't having as much fun as Namjoon was. He couldn't seem to catch his breath and he wasn't sure if he felt phlegm slowly climbing his throat or his lunch. Regardless he tried clearing his throat the best he could and tried to keep going. He made eye contact with namjoon. Joon looked back at him, noticing how much he'd been struggling just now trying to breathe. " You ok jungkookie?" namjoon asked putting a firm hand on his shoulder. " I"m alright hyung... where do we go now?" 'we're probably going to have to go back and search that area for the item we're looking for." namjoon answered. as they walked back they heard screaming sounding too be hoseok, there was also a bit of manic laughing sounding to be yoongi. Jungkook's thoughts were confirmed when yoongi and hoseok ran past being chased by the chainsaw guy. It was actually perfect timing for jungkook and joon. " perfect come on jk!" namjoon ran over to the area and started searching. jk did the same. " I FOUND it !" jk yelled out, forgetting about his stomach for a second. He ran over to his hyung showed him and then quickly put it in his bag. " I found another one!" joon says soon after. " great!" jk says back running over. joon shows him the shiny small object and puts it into jk's bag. " Now we only need nineteen more. The two got up and traveled up further.
As they walked Namjoon thought about how hard jungkook was struggling to catch up to him and catch his breath. He remembered that jungkook mentioned canceling his doctor's appointment when he was in the room. He must not be feeling so well namjoon thought as they walked. He figured he'd keep an eye on him. Once the path ended they were at an area that had two separate paths leading in opposite directions. Nammjooon turned to jk. "which path do you want to go down?' he asked. "uhh the left?" jk says kind of confused. He can see an interesting color projecting from the left patch it caught his eye." ok let's play rock paper scissors. You win we go down the left path but If I win we go down the right. "ok " jk answered putting his fist in his palm. " just one game and we will go," namjoon says Throwignhis fist into his palm as well. The two say out loud excitedly " ROCK PAPER SCISSORS...SHOOT!" namjoon had rock and jk had paper. " HA HAA! jungkook says as he covers his hand on top of namjoons. Namjoon giggles at jungkooks excitement. They turn back to the path and head down the left path. While walking down this path an actor jumped out at them. it was a disfigured lady with matted hair and lots of affected makeup. It scared the crap out of both of them. So much so that both of them jumped out of their skin. Namjoon felt his chest feeling his heartbeat going at the speed of light. Jungkook yelled out, just as namjoon did, then the only difference is when jungkook yelled it cause his stomach muscles to squeeze causing his dinner to come up faster than he could stop it. Namjoon looked over to jungkook to find him gagging and holding on tightly to his stomach. The cameraman that had been following them the entire time quickly turn his camera away. He had been with Bighit ( hybe) for a long time and he knew they tried their best not to catch content such as this. joon ran over to jungkook and tried comforting him. Patting his back in an attempt to speed up the proses so that he would feel better sooner.
" jungkooK? Is your stomach hurting you? " Jungkook's lunch answered first a sickeningly wet splash hit the hard ground. Jungkook was bent over by the waist. When namjoon looked over to see who was around, the actor lady was gone and Jungkook gagged hard, his knees shook, and all the tired he'd been feeling for a while now caught back up to him. Namjoon tried his best to keep the younger steady. jungkooks stomach was coming up faster than he could keep up with. He was sweating hard and shaking. Namjoon stayed by his side telling him to breathe and try to let it happen. reminding him that he'll feel a bit better after. Once jungkook could catch his breath he sat crouched on the ground attempting to catch his breath. Nnamjoon rubbed his back. Namjoon tried to get jk to stand. Come on let's go back to the start you definitely need some water. " but hyung, jk choked out, we gotta finish the game so we can win." "Jk "namjoon says calmly you're sick, let's go," namjoon says helping the younger way from the puddle. jk puffed, he was upset they were doing so well until he threw up. His stomach ached as they slowly walked all the way back to the start. The manager and other crew stood confused when then namjoon and jk returned to the start of the maze along with the cameraman. The manager and the director walked up to them. " what happened?" the manager asked concerned. "jk threw up." namjooon answered. " He looked like he's going to again the director says staring at jk's sickly complexion. He wasn't wrong, jk was feeling sick after that walk back. It felt like it took forever and his stomach jostled as he walked.
"SOMEONE GET THE KID A BAG PLEASE" the director yelled out. while the manager and Namjoon helped him find a seat on the old wooden bench nearby. A bag was shoved into his face right as he sat down. his stomach swirled and he sniffed. " can he get some water please?" namjoon called out to someone, jk couldn't quite see who his head was down to and shoved it into the bag, he felt sick again. After what felt like several hours of nausea The game ended, Namjoon and jk sat at the start jk puking every so often, and namjooon comforted him The members that were still in the game filled the end. Jimin, tae, and jin team green won the game by finding the most objects they found all twenty-one first. Once filming was over the other members crowed around jungkook trying to cheer him up." don't be embarrassed jk, hoseok almost peed his pants when we got to the other side of the maze" yoongi says laughing, and they all laugh.
