------------------------------------------------------------

Two.


Jokwon panicked, "Where is Gain when I need her?". Gain has not come back from the Ladies' room.

"Spill...", Inyoung raised her eyebrows. Her tone was commanding, not asking anymore. She was always known to be protective of herself, most especially her friends, and Hwangbo was one of her closest.

"I...We....uhm...", Jokwon smiled nervously at her. He looked around for Gain who emerged from a crowd of people and made her way to their table. "Gain is here!!", he announced.

Inyoung was now seated beside Jokwon still waiting for the explanation.

"You see, Unni, we were given a task by the PD. We were asked to choose a past WGM couple to join us for a short vacation. We wanted to ask someone whom we are comfortable with, so we were narrowing down our choices between you and Crown J Oppa or Hwangbo Unni and Hyunjoong", Gain explained to WGM's witch.

The expression on Inyoung's face turned from a quizzical look to a knowing smile-the kind that appears when she was about to do something naughty or bad or maybe even sadistic.

"Hey, what you doin' baby girl?", Crown J came out of the blue and joined the three huddled heads

"Oh, Oppa!!!", Inyoung greeted her ex-pretend husband. "Take a seat, please.", then she diverted her attention to the couple, " So? What are you planning to do? Who are you going to choose?"

Jokwon and Gain looked at each other.

"So?", Inyoung impatiently asked.

Jokwon worriedly stared at Crown J who looked confused. Inyoung immediately got Jokwon's hint, "Don't worry. The Ant is an ally..."

Crown J looked more confused than ever as Jokwon and Gain laughed until their stomachs ached.

"Okay, we thought we'd invite Hwangbo Unni and Hyunjoong....", Gain confessed.

Inyoung raised her eyebrows, then fixed her gaze at Hwangbo who was across the room, then looked at Gain and Jokwon who were now in panic mode..

Gain's heart suddenly thumped, fervently hoping she did not offend the so-called witch by not choosing her and Crown J.

Inyoung smiled again as if she knew something, "You know about her and fresh boy, too, right? That's why you're nervous?"

Jokwon nodded.

"Well, although inviting me and Oppa would have been a promotion for my single, please invite Unni and fresh boy", she added, crossing her arms on her chest. "I'll even help you to get her to agree, and Crown J Oppa will make fresh boy agree"

Crown J looked even more puzzled when Inyoung volunteered him, but he knew better and kept silent.

As if on cue, someone was calling Inyoung from the other side of the room.

"Inyoung-ah!!!", the raspy voice called out.

Inyoung smiled brightly knowing who owned that voice, "Oh, Unni!!!! I've missed you!!!! Come here and join me and my new little friends"

After saying their hellos and greetings, Crown J stood up and offered his seat to Hwangbo and excused himself to go to the washroom.

"Oppa, I need to talk to you about something... I'll find you later, okay?", Inyoung called out to Crown J and gave him a shrewd wink.

He just knew that his evil ex-pretend wife was plotting on something, his antennas can feel it, "Ayt...", he called out and left.

"Unni, I have a favor to ask you.", Inyoung started working. "Gain invited me to Jeju Island next weekend. She needs help on a task for the show, but I cannot make it on that day, please help her, Unni"

Hwangbo thought it was awkward that someone actually still seeks for Inyoung’s help, but she fell for Inyoung's trap anyway. The witch knew Hwangbo's weakness-she was just too helpful by nature. She agreed immediately without asking for details.

Inyoung worked her magic to get Crown J to help them out.

The fresh boy better known as Kim Hyunjoong arrived really late. He came straight from Japan .

"Oh, look who it is, Oppa... It's fresh boy!" Inyoung said when Hyunjoong passed by the table.

Hyunjoong looked at the group, but saw no signs of Hwangbo.

"The one you're looking for already left for a guesting", Inyoung blatantly told him, referring to Hwangbo.

The night deepened with more food, drinks, laughter, conversations and some dancing.

With Crown J's convincing powers and Jokwon's acting skills, they got the innocent Hyunjoong to agree to go to Jeju, too.

After thanking the witch and the ant a hundred million times, the present WGM couple went to inform their PD about their decision, thus both the management agencies of Hyunjoong and Hwangbo were informed.
