Summary: If you think about it, she had made her choice a long time ago.
"Ji Hyo-ssi, you can choose one member you'd like to go with to Jeju to complete your mission." PD informed.
"One member?" Ji Hyo asked, a little confused.
"Yes. All members will be paired up with another member and they will then be sent to another city to complete their missions. Being the only female member of the team, we wanted to ask you instead so you can be comfortable."
"Ah, thank you." She bowed slightly to show her gratitude. "Do I have to answer right away?"
"It would be nice if you could let us know by the end of today's shooting", the PD said, wanting to give her fair amount of time to decide. The variety show had not been going on for very long yet so he understood if Ji Hyo wasn't comfortable enough with all the members yet. "You can talk to the members about it, if you wish", he added.
"I can? Okay, I will let you know then", Ji Hyo said as she got up and left the room to prepare for the shooting.
She didn't really have to think so hard about this one, she thought, making her way towards the cafeteria where the rest of the team currently was. Although it had been less than two months since they began working for the variety program together, she had formed a friendly rapport with all the members. However, she didn't want to pick the person on her own. So, she formed a plan. She quickly went over to one of the crew members and asked for a blank sheet of paper. Upon receiving one, she tore the paper in seven smaller ones and wrote each member's name on one. Folding them up neatly, she put them in her hands and made her way over to the members.
Joong Ki, who had been wondering where she'd gone, quickly made his way over to her when he saw her appearing from behind the myriad of cameramen.
"Noona! Where have you been?", he asked as he took her right hand in his and walked back to their designated opening-shot spot.
"Ah Joong Ki-ah, the PD asked me to see him for a minute."
"PD-nim? Why?"
"You will know in a minute", Ji Hyo informed him as she now stood between Gary on her left and Joong Ki on the right.
The PD informed them they would begin rolling the camera in about three minutes. Not wanting to delay it any further, Ji Hyo quickly turned to her members and informed them of what she talked to the PD about.
"We, of course, won't know what our missions are yet but our pairings will be decided by the end of today's shoot so our we can meet each other next week accordingly."
Quickly revealing what her left palm held, she said, "I need one of you to pick up a paper and the written name on it will be the one who will go with me."
This set off a series of exclamations. "Really?" "Why only you get to choose?" "Noona, saranghaeyo!" "Ah! You Should've just picked my name" "Would you like me to sing for you?"
She wanted to laugh at their reactions but there wasn't much time so - "Come on, someone pick one already. Filming is about to start."
Gwang Soo, wanting to satisfy his curiosity quickly, came forward and picked one of the tiny papers out of her hand. He opened up the neatly folded chit and revealed the member's name.
Just then, the PD asked them to line up so Ji Hyo quickly threw aside all the papers and went on with the shooting.
It wasn't until much later that she got a chance to tell the PD of whom she'd be going with. He asked her if this was the final decision and she nodded her head. All the rest of the pairs for the next week's shooting were announced not long after and everyone began filing out of the shooting location, heading to wherever they needed to go next.

Next day, the janitors came to clean up the floors a couple hours before the museum opened for the day. One of them came across tiny pieces of papers lying in a corner and bent down to pick them up. His curiosity took over so began unfolding each of them - only to be confused about what they could possibly be for and why was there the same name on all of them.
end.
A/N: Couldn't think of a suitable title :P I am not even half as satisfied with this but the thought had been plaguing my mind for a few hours and I just needed to get it out somehow >.< Anyway, what did you think? Who do you think was the lucky person? What makes you think that? xD Cookies for those who get it right. I hope to write more Running Man ficlets/oneshots in the future if, of course, there are readers.
