Bonus Episode: When the Cameras Aren't Rolling
(The interview stage is empty, but the mic is still on. The author is backstage, checking notes, while Eunhye is drinking water. A loud commotion is heard from the green room.)
Jaeyeon: (bursts into the backstage area, laughing hysterically) —I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST DID THAT!
Sae Joon Hyun: (enters behind him, looking exhausted) I swear, it wasn’t my fault! He dared me to!
Eunhye: (raises an eyebrow) …What did you guys do?
Author: (suspiciously) What did they do?
(A loud crashing sound comes from the green room. The author and Eunhye exchange a glance before rushing over.)
Eunhye: (gasp) WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SNACK TABLE?!
Jaeyeon: (points at Sae Joon Hyun) He flipped it!
Sae Joon Hyun: (offended) NO! You bet that I couldn’t toss a bottle and land it upright! So I tried—
Jaeyeon: (grinning) And he threw it so hard that it bounced off the table, hit the ceiling, and sent everything flying!
Eunhye: (facepalming) This is why we can’t have nice things…
Author: …You guys… we literally JUST finished an interview about your survival skills, and here you are, failing to keep a snack table alive?!
(Silence. Then, Jaeyeon bursts out laughing again. Eunhye sighs and shakes her head.)
Eunhye: Honestly, I’m not surprised.
Sae Joon Hyun: (grumbling) This is why I don’t do bonus episodes…
Author: (pinching the bridge of her nose) You two better clean this up before the next interview.
Jaeyeon: (mock salute) Yes, boss!
Sae Joon Hyun: (muttering) I hate this job…
(The three of them start picking up the mess. Just when it seems like things are calming down, Jaeyeon spots something and smirks.)
Jaeyeon: Hey, Eunhye… catch!
(Before Eunhye can react, he tosses her a pack of chips. She fumbles and, in her panic, accidentally slaps it mid-air. The pack bursts open, and chips scatter everywhere.)
Eunhye: …
Jaeyeon: …
Sae Joon Hyun: …
Author: (deadpan) I am never inviting you guys to a press conference.
(Suddenly, the lights flicker. The group freezes.)
Jaeyeon: (whispers) …Is this part of the show?
Eunhye: (nervous) I… don’t think so?
(The lights go out completely. There’s silence, then a weird shuffling sound. Then—)
Mysterious Voice: …What did you guys do this time?
(The lights flicker back on, revealing Yuri standing at the doorway, arms crossed, looking beyond unimpressed.)
Jaeyeon: (grinning) Heyyyy, Yuri. You’re early!
Yuri: The entire building shook. What are you idiots up to?!
Author: …I quit.
(The scene fades out with Jaeyeon laughing, Eunhye sighing, Yuri ranting, and Sae Joon Hyun casually sneaking away from the disaster zone.)
