This idea is influenced by @buttersmama ! takes place during a made-up team game during idol inc's last match

if you guys don't know of the nametag elimination game from runningman, basically each person has a big nametag stuck by velcro on their backs. you have to peel off other peoples' and not get your own taken off to win! and in this, it will be between members of the same group just for funsies!

enjoy~ d=('▽｀)=b

[ Cho Seungmin's POV ]

"Hey, wouldn't it be unfair with Seungmin being an enemy? Hm?"

These were the first words said after the PD explained the rules of the game. We had just played games against other teams to determine the order in which teams performed during episode 13, and everyone joked about my strength after I beat Ryu Chungwoo hyung.

"S-seungmin is really strong! I'll t-try my best!" Ahyun hyung exclaimed with determined eyes.

"I agree," Raebin muttered. "I believe the best course would be to eliminate Seungmin hyung first!"

"Oh, I like your idea~"

So like this, I became the first target.

As soon as the alarm rang, signaling the start of the match, the three ran toward me with their hands lunging forward. Kwon Heesung and Lee Sejin who were not close to me seemed to opt out, and Moondae hyung was with them. So it was 3 against 1.

Our only space was the practice room, so I backed into the corner to cover my back.

"It's three against one Seungminnie, give up!" Keun Sejin laughed.

I grabbed his wrist and Ahyun hyung's hand and kept them away from me while using my other hand to try to grab Raebin as well. But he backed away in a split second, and I used that free hand to rip off Ahyun hyung's tag in the newly opened space instead.

"Seon Ahyun, out!"

"Ah!"

"He already got Ahyun, quickly, Raebin, take over!"

"Lee Sejin A, out!"

From the other side of the room, Kwon Heesung had pulled off the child actor's nametag.

Raebin, who hesitated while looking at the other members, belatedly realized that he was exposing part of his back to me. I took off his nametag while still pressing my back against the wall and immobilizing Keun Sejin's hands.

"Kim Raebin, out!"

Now it was just me and Keun Sejin hyung. In the midst of it, Kwon Heesung was taken out by Moondae hyung.

"Hey, Moondae, hurry!" Keun Sejin hyung shouted through gritted teeth. "I can't get my hands out!"

Moondae hyung hurried over while looking at Keun Sejin hyung and I grappling in the corner. I could tell he was thinking, "Is it that serious?"

But he helped Keun Sejin hyung anyway, trying to avoid my free hand from getting a good hold on him. My other hand was getting exhausted from grabbing both of Keun Sejin hyung's hands. One slipped out, and he tried to clasp the back of my shirt. I pressed harder against the wall.

"Here's our chance!" Keun Sejin hyung exclaimed.

I couldn't stay backed into the corner anymore. As Keun Sejin hyung and Moondae hyung tried to pull me away from the wall, I took the chance to slide to the side and grab Keun Sejin's tag. Moondae hyung's hand broke off as Keun Sejin hyung turned to get me off and I turned with him.

He reached for my back as well. I could hear the other members shouting in anticipation.

"Oooh!!!!"

Riiiiiip!

"...!!"

"Lee Sejin B, out!"

"No!"

Keun Sejin walked off to the side as he said he almost had me. I quickly put distance between me and Moondae hyung while I could readjust my twisted shirt.

"Go Moondae!"

"S-seungmin too!"

"Seungmin hyung, Moondae hyung, fighting!"

Moondae hyung was the first to move. We circled around each other.

"Um, the winner gets an allocated amount to eat outside during shooting," a writer suddenly said.

Did they want us to stop wasting time?

"You should have said that earlier!" Kwon Heesung wailed.

"Suddenly throwing in an incentive~ Oh, look at Moondae go!"

Moondae hyung exhaled curtly before trying to reach around me. I dodged, but when I caught a glimpse of his face, I saw him click his tongue.

"Ah, does he just want to end this quickly?"

The next time he lurched forward, I reached for his back to rip his nametag, but he responded rather quickly and swerved away. Unfortunately, he turned a little too hard, and he pulled the both of us onto the ground.

"!"

I moved my hand from his nametag to his head and tried to carry both our weights so we wouldn't fall. But on the way, the momentum was too strong and he ended up on top of me.

"Wow, Moondae is taking this so seriously now," I heard Keun Sejin hyung laugh.

I looked at the people waiting on the side and then up at Moondae hyung. Was he satisfied? He had a strange smile.

"Just give me your nametag now," he said jokingly.

"Should I?" I mused.

If he thought he could win, I would let him.

But then he tried to tickle me. Unfortunately for him, I wasn't ticklish because of touch desensitization, but he looked like he was trying hard.

I gave him a laugh and tried to act like I wanted to get him off of me. Each of his hands clasped around mine as we wrestled to see who could push away the other and reach closer to one another's backs.

"He's putting in a lot of strength. Does he want to win?"

I began letting my arms lose strength little by little until he finally pushed them far away, let go, and quickly tried to reach for my back under the ground again. He managed to grab onto the little slip and pulled, pulling most of my shirt up with it.

Rrrriiiip!

"...!"

"Moondae really won! He gets the food!"

"He beat Seungmin hyungnim, woah!"

Moondae hyung held up my nametag like a trophy.

"He's still on me."

He didn't seem to realize where he was until I put a hand on his thigh and shook it.

"Congratulations," I smiled.

"Ah, right." He got off me and held out a hand. "I could only get your nametag because the others made you tired."

"No, you won because you're Moondae hyung," I said into his ear as I was pulled up by him.

The others would not have been able to win if I didn't want them to.

And it was enjoyable when he was on me.

"He tried to tickle me to get my nametag...cute."

The game ended up being fun.
