Se Rin excused herself and to go to the toilet. Feeling vexed, Yoon Kyung followed along back into the house. Ji Hae followed as well. The others continue having their last BBQ dinner at the house’s garden. Yoon Kyung plopped herself on the long sofa in the living room while Ji Hae head straight to the kitchen to get some cold drinks.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><b>Flashback</b><o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“Did you say you didn’t want to go back to Yongnam again?” </i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘I definitely remember I didn’t say no. But he looks so sad after that. There must be a lot of misunderstanding. Maybe….we’re just not meant to be.’ Yoon Kyung thought to herself. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yoon-Kyung ah, you’re in dilemma?” Se Rin asked cautiously after coming back from the bathroom. Yoon Kyung responded with a faint smile and grabs a cushion and laid down. She heaves a big sigh. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Unnie, you seem really vexed. Because of Juh Won oppa?” Ji Hae asked while walking from the kitchen. She passed the unnies the drinks that were in her hand.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ji Hae-ah, what do you think of him?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I think when we hang out, we had a lot of fun. He has a lot of funny side to him.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You guys talk a lot?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hae’s widened. “Unnie, don’t misunderstand. We had a lot of fun, but that was it. I didn’t see him as a man, but as an oppa instead.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Aniya~ don’t say it like that. We all can have our own personal choices.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Unnie, when we’re out, he will mention you a few times. When he sees food in the street, he’ll go like, I wonder will Yoon Kyung-nim will like that. Or like if Yoon Kyung-nim sees this she’ll go crazy.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“R-Really?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“He cares about you a lot. Although he looks quiet, he has a lot on his mind.” Se Rin added. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yeah I know he’s mature, despite his age.” Yoon-Kyung’s voice trailed as she reminisces the solo moments with him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“When he gets angry, his face says it all.” Ji Hae continued. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yoon Kyung burst out laughing. “Yeah! I think only he didn’t notice it. His face is so obvious. But…..he looks kinda…..cute when he pouts.” Yoon Kyung mentally screams at her own words. For the first time, she showed her aegyo side to the other ladies in the Signal House. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah! Look at your face! You’re so red!” Se Rin squealed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Andwae! Don’t look at me! I’ll be redder.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Anyway, think carefully. Follow your heart.” Se Rin says earnestly. “I’ll be heading out. Come out when your face is less redder.” Se Rin poked fun at her and left the house together with Ji Hae. Yoon Kyung was left there, thinking to herself. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For the final day of recording, all residents of the Signal House have to send the last message to the ones that you will choose. And then the producer of the show will send them their personal number of the people that you’re interested in so that you can personally make the phone call and confess. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yoon Kyung stood there in the cold on top of the Poet’s Hill. Again, her mind is filled with two guys-Suh Joo Won and Jang Chun. She didn’t get to spend a lot of personal time with Jang Chun until the last day, where they went back to their university – Konkuk University to relive that degree life. It was comfortable to hang with him and her heart feels peaceful. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As for Joo Won, she practically stuck with him throughout the weeks there; she was closest to him. She even initiated to drop the honorifics with him first. She enjoyed all of their dates, but Joo Won thinks otherwise because of her lack of expression. However, what he did not know was her heart flutters when she is with him that made her expressionless because she does not want to make it obvious. Being with him gave her the adrenaline rush. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Should she choose someone that makes her comfortable or someone that makes her heart flutters?<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As expected, her phone rang, echoing throughout the quiet evening of Poet’s Hill. She lifts up her phone and saw the unknown number. The residents are not allowed to exchange numbers so they would not know who the caller is until you pick up the call.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yeoboseyo,” She said timidly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah! Bae Yoon Kyung!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
***<span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Suh Joo Won sat there contemplating. He wanted to call her so badly, but he was worried about the words she mentioned before they left the House.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Despite their list of misunderstanding, he felt that he needed her in his life. The woman that was able to control him and allow him to express himself. Although he was slightly younger than she was, her presence in his life made a man out of him, the leader. At the same time, they were able to hang out like friends. As he sat there, his mind drifted to the conversation he had with Jang Chun-hyung. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“I think I have interest in Yoon Kyung-ssi too.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They are both vying for the same woman. Just by the age, Jang Chun is more mature, looks more dependable, not to mention his stable and safe profession as compared to his racing career, which is generally far more dangerous. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Maybe I am not worth it of her love. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He fumbled around the phone, hovering his finger above the call button. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>But it’s not for us to decide who she chooses. I shall just go for it. It’s now or never. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">A figure appeared running towards the Poet’s Hill. He reached the top of the hill and saw a slim figure, looking out to the vast surrounding. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">“Yah Bae Yoon Kyung!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Yoon Kyung turned around and saw the guy that he has been expecting. She breaks into a smile immediately.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">“Have you been waiting for long?” The man said, with a hint of shyness on his face. “I came as fast as I could already.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">“Really? I can see the sweats…” Her voice trailed off, eyes darting through the sweat beads on the man’s forehead. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Were you expecting me to call you?” He asked straightforwardly. He was surprised that she said yes to his phone call. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“You can just let me straightforwardly. I will understand your choice.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“When are you leaving to Yongam again? I need to pack more titbits and games to play while I wait for you.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Joo Won’s mouth breaks into a wide smile the moment he heard her reply. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“Well…” He tried so hard to maintain his excited voice. “Not that soon, but we can do a day trip out to the outskirt one day.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“Arasso…” She said with aegyo sound. “Come to the Poet’s Hill then.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“If you didn’t call, I would be sad.” Yoon Kyung confessed. This shy confession made Joo Won break into another broad smile. He spreads his arms open and gives her a big hug.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’m sorry for all the misunderstanding that I have caused. Sincerely. But I am so thankful you said yes. I was so afraid I would get rejected. You didn’t know how nervous I was making that call.” Joo Won said softly into her ears. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No…I have made you misunderstand too.” Yoon Kyung replied, still in his hug. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Joo Won break the hug and made her look into his eyes. “I know I am being childish. I pout easily. I am sorry.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“So you actually know that.” She smiled, and cup his face with her hand.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Let’s go?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Joo Won reached out for her hand quickly interlocks his fingers with her right hand. Yoon Kyung just smile at his gesture. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Joo Won-ah…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hmm?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’ll…promise you that I’ll do better with my expression.” She said shyly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Joo Won stopped his tracks. “Well,…you just need to be yourself. Be the most comfortable you.” He said with an assuring smile and pinched her nose slightly. “You’re prettiest when you’re being you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Arasso…” <o:p></o:p></div>

<o:p>I was so crazy about this Channel A's variety show called "Heart Signal" that I wished the ending was different from the show, that is why I am writing this alternate ending to satisfy my fantasy. Until today, I wished YK and JW was together instead. They are just so cute. XD</o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Gary slowly look
through the pictures from the photo album. Flipping through the book,
accompanied by the soft jazz music playing in the recording room. Each one
holds so many memories and laughers; which belongs to just two of them. The
memories just gushed in like waterfall crazily. As he sips through the wine, he
felt a sense of sadness yet relief at the same time. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It was one the biggest
decision he made in life. More than 15 years ago, he chose to get into music, and
then later, was getting into variety show. And today he chose to quit it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The fame and
recognition he gained through Running Man was something he could not repay back
to the PD that initially approached him. Without Running Man, his works would
not be recognized as much now, as he isn’t a mainstream idol or singer. He just
love making his own style of music, standing out in his own style in the music
industry. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As he flips through
the pages in the photo album, he can’t help but to smile looking at those
wonderful memories. Jihyo’s smile is just so endearing, so genuine, and so
real. He always hears his fan saying that, Ji Hyo is the most comfortable
around Gary, maybe it is really true. As pictures won’t lie. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
His phone showed 11.30pm
when he heard the front door unlocking. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Oh?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
He left the album on
the table and got out of the swivel chair and headed outside. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Standing in the middle
of the room, it was a lady who knows the password to his studio very well; Ji
Hyo. She was standing there in an oversize grey coloured long sleeved fleece
shirt, top with a red beanie. She also covered her face with black sunglasses
and mask.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Did anyone see you?” He
asked almost immediately. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
She just shook her
head.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Gary broke into a
smile. He stepped forward and pulled in for a big hug. The lady too,
comfortably fit herself into his big hug.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Gary broke off the hug
and made the Ji Hyo looked at him. “What brought you here? You didn’t tell me
you’re coming.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The lady took off the
mask and sunglasses that is covering up her face. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“I saw you barely touched
your food earlier during dinner. So I brought you food.” She raised up her
right hand to show what she brought along in that secretive attire. She broke
into a smile, and a perfect eye smile.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>How can I not fall and give up for this girl? <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Gary peered into the
bags on her hand. He can smell jjajangmyeon (black bean noodle) and tang su yuk
(sweet sour pork).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
He was shock at the
choice of food. “At this hour?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Anytime is a good
time for jjajangmyeon,” She aegyo-ed back. “Come, let’s eat.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
They set up the table,
and made themselves comfortable in the same place where they filmed earlier. Gary
took the chopstick and started mixing the jjajangmyeon sauces. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“You know, I am not
trying to be cheesy…but eating with you at this hour…” Gary said suddenly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“What?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“How should I describe
it..?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Ji Hyo gave him a
curious look. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
He turned to her and
looked straight into her eyes. “I am just happy. Contended. So blissful.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Tsk.” She jeered at
his words. But in her heart, she felt really warmth and happy too. It was
simple, just the two of them, without any cameras, without any weird mission of
‘fake’ date, without any other members whom are always asking them to get
together. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Oppa be truthful, did
you cried just now reading our letters?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Trying to be masculine,
he maintained his composure. “Men shed blood but not tears.” He said
nonchalantly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“You sure?” Ji Hyo
frowned at him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Y-Yes.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Are you?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“No—Yes…a little” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Just a little?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Well, a while.” Gary
eventually gave up trying to protect his little men pride.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Awwww. Our oppa is
really sad to leave us…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
She leaned forward and
gave him another big hug.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Well, I really owed
it to Running Man…without the members and the staff, I am nobody today. A lot
of nice memories just rushed in, and so my manly tears just fell.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Ji Hyo broke off the
hug and cupped his sad face in her delicate hands. “It’s okay to hide in front
of the cameras but never hide in front of me. Okay?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Arasso.” He smiled
back. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“You can always come
back as a guest! Maybe our PD will keep calling you!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Well I don’t mind, as
long as I am no longer the fixed member…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Oppa…I-I know you’re
doing this for us...” She said, looking down, feeling guilty. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Seeing her like this,
Gary dropped his chopsticks and grabbed her hands. He caressed it and made her
look up at him. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Ji Hyo-yah. I don’t
know what’s in store for our future, but rest assured that I won’t regret it.
Because I know I have to make an effort for us. For us to happen.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“I know it’s a big
sacrifice for us...” She trailed off.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Well, I am going to
see everyone often too! It’s not like I am not seeing the others anymore again.
Most importantly, it’s us. Plus I get to focus more on my music now.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Really? Cause sometimes
I was thinking maybe I should be the one to—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Shhh. You’re the ace
of the show. You have to be there. The fans may be sad, but they won’t know
what’s in store for them.” He chuckled slightly and pinched slightly on Ji
Hyo’s nose. She just smiled back faintly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Ji Hyo finally felt
much better, despite being in daze when Gary initially mentioned this to her.
They argued a bit on his decision, but she knew his character. Once he set his
heart on it, he’ll achieve it. So from now on, she’ll support her as the woman
behind him, to support his music; his life. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
They chatted about the
episode earlier as they ate the supper. Then Gary browsed through the articles
and came across Ji Hyo’s press conference of her latest drama. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“MC ended?” Gary smiled
mischievously while checking out Ji Hyo’s expression. She looked up from her
phone, with a mong look.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Of course. Because it
must end so that we—can.…” Ji Hyo trailed away.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“We can….?” Gary
wanted to hear from her. “Finish your sentence.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Well—theoretically we
are together off screen but—Yah!” Ji Hyo hit Gary slightly on his shoulder.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“I just wanted to hear
from you…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Nope. Not going to
say it.” She persisted. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Yah~~~” Gary
aegyo-ed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It was already 1am in
the morning when they finished the supper. Together they cleaned the table and
made themselves comfortable at the couch in front of the TV that he had in
another room. She has promised him to watch her drama’s first episode together;
‘<i>This Week, My Wife Is Having An Affair</i>’.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Ji Hyo-yah you’re so
pretty! Are you also going to be the pretty and intelligent omma to my child in
the future?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Yah! Who says I am
going to marry you?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“You will! I will make
you fall deeper in me.” He said confidently.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Stop your nonsense.” Ji
Hyo just snuggled in the cuddle and continued watching.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As they watched, Gary
was so engrossed in the drama and didn’t realised that she has fallen asleep in
his arms. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Daebak story! Ji Hyo-yah
is that guy in the car Michael? You’re being so affectionate with him…he could
not be someone from the office right? If not, who’s that?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Silence. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
He turned to the lady
in his arms and Ji Hyo was already fast asleep. Instead of waking her up, he
took the time to go through her face. Because of their busy schedule, he never
really has the chance to see her so up-close, when she is sleeping so soundly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
She didn’t have any
make up on, just her usual bare face, but that’s the best look that he like
about her. So simple, so down to earth, just like the lyrics to his song that
he released last year with her in mind; <i>Your
Scent</i>. Not to mention her full, luscious lips is the one that always makes
him weak especially she pouts and aegyo. <i>Why
is he so lucky to have such a beautiful and charming lady in his arm? Sometimes
he felt that he was too lucky.</i> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Ji Hyo-yah,” He
nudged her slowly. “Let’s get you home okay?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Huh its over?” She
winched and sat up straight while rubbing her eyes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Yes, you missed it.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“It’s okay. Actually I’ve already watched the 1st episode
with the team.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Then you still watch
it with me? “<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Because I promised
you to watch it together.” She smiled with her sleepy eyes and yawns.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>It is little things like this that made him
fell in love with her so deep. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Aigoo…babo-yah…You
should have slept instead of accompanying me.” He tighten the cuddle and kissed
her on her left cheek. “It’s really late now, I’ll send you back home okay?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“I don’t have schedule
tomorrow…” She mumbled softly, looking at him. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Arasso. Then get to
the bed and sleep?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Carry me.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Without hesitation,
Gary got up from the couch, hands stretched out ready to carry her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Oppa! I am just
joking. I can walk to the room myself.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“I better do it more
often, otherwise there may be other guys carrying you in the future filming.”
He just sweep her up in a bridal style and carried her in his strong arms. Ji
Hyo laughed out loud, but just let him do it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“I wonder will there
be anyone like you..? In the future filming…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Didn’t you always
like young and handsome strong idols?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“On Monday you’re most
handsome. Nobody can deny that.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Wow it has been a
while…since I heard this.” They reached the other room and he laid her down
gently on the single bed that he has. On days he worked too long in the studio,
he’ll just spent the night there. “Just on Monday now?” He said, looking at
her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Ji Hyo just smiled
back at his words, a little speechless.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Kang Gary is the best
looking person for Song Ji Hyo. Not just on Mondays, but everyday.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Gary smiled proudly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Is that okay?
Satisfied?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“That’s more like it.”
He pulled the blanket over her. “Yah, get some rest. You’ve cried a lot
earlier.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Arasso.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Gary turned around to
turn off the light. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Yah Kang Gary. You
are not coming to bed yet?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“I’ll wash up and
come. You sleep first.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Arasso.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Good night. OH wait.
The last part of Episode 1…the guy in the car…is that the Michael?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Ji Hyo chuckled out
loud at his sudden question about the drama. “Well, I can’t give you spoiler. Please
continue to watch to find out.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Not even to me?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Nope.” She said
coolly with her eyes already shut tight. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“Arasso. Good night.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
After taking a quick
shower, he changed into something more comfortable. He slides in the bed with
her who already soundly asleep. Gently he reached out to her and cuddled her by
the waist.<o:p></o:p></div>

Dao thought of the
words that she said to Koi. Now she starts to regret. Next week the first day
of university is starting and she is moving into the apartment, just 10minutes
walk to the campus. The campus is 1 hour drive away from Nadao Bangkok College.

Dao falls back to the
mattress with a big thud. “Aahhh, I didn’t know moving house could be so
tired.” She sigh. She reached for her phone when she heard incoming message
from WeChat.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Every weekend?” Dao
lighted up.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yea! Since I live in
my own house which I can accompany my dad everyday. I can spend my weekend with

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I believe we can work
something out” Dao smiled. “Hmm..I think we can go on dates on Saturday, hang
out at home, eat together, stay over and…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“And..?” Koi chuckled.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Well, I just want to
spend every minute with you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Really?” Koi can’t
help smiling at Dao’s little confession. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes! I am missing you
so badly. I got so busy with moving recently…” Dao’s voice trailed away in
guilt. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yea…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dao could hear Koi
pout at the other end of phone call. “Is there anything I could make up for
it?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Actually yes… I have
been thinking about one…” Koi said almost immediately. “Walk to the door for
me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Front door?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yup.” Koi chuckled at
other end.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Obediently, Dao walked
to the door and suddenly there’s a knock. Without hesitating, she opened the
door.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was Koi, smiling
goofily in front of the door. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“KOIIIII!!!” Dao
screamed so loud that Koi had to cover her ears.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Dao! Husshhh” Koi
looked around. She was so embarrassed that she quickly pushed Dao into the
house.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Koi! How come you are
here?” Dao still in disbelief. She gave Dao a big hug. “Omg, you didn’t know
how much I miss this…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Me too...” Koi said
simply, enjoying the embrace. She then broke off the hug and made Dao look at
her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Koi stole a kiss from
Dao’s lip. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Because I miss you so
much.” Koi said earnestly. “That I’ve
decided to move over.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dao’s eyes widen with
another disbelief look.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What are you saying?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’ve decided to…attend
the same university as you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You’re not joking
right?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Koi went outside of
the house again and pulled in two big luggage. “You see, I even brought my
stuff here.” Koi smiled at Dao. “I am serious.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dao almost did a
little sprint to Koi and gave her another big bear hug. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Koi!!!!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I wanted to give you
a surprise, so I didn’t tell you anything. I secretly signed up for the course
that I wanted in the same university.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Koi….I am so happy!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“And you’re lacking a
roommate right…?” Koi joked. “I need to spy on you too…there’s too many
beautiful guys and girls in the campus.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Now you’re here with
me…I won’t look at other people.” Dao sticks out her tongue playfully. “No
matter what, I am so happy of the things that we could do together!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes…cause I love you
so much that I am willing to do this for us.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Koi…” Dao looked at
Koi. She can almost feel her eyes melting from looking straight into her
beautiful eyes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dao kissed her on the
lips. Koi enjoyed every moment of sudden kisses. “I guess we are going to do
this often?” Koi smirked and planted another kiss on her lips.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Koi! You’re such a
pervert.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Because I have such a
cute and beautiful girlfriend…” Koi said while pinching Dao’s chubby cheeks.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ouch!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Okay let me unpacked my
stuff and let’s go grab dinner, okay?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Wait! Your dad….is he
okay?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Koi heaves a sigh. “Yeap,
he seems okay with it I guess. He will rather that I’ll come to the same
university with you and work hard, than me being in a place that makes me
unhappy...”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Awww…your dad is a
great guy.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yea he is…so maybe we
can go visit him together soon.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Come and visit my mum
too.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course we have to!” Both Dao and Koi laughed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Let me unpacked and
let’s go grab dinner, okay?” Koi stole another kiss on Dao’s forehead before
begin unpacking her luggage. <o:p></o:p>Doi just stood there smiling foolishly</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
As she watch Koi unpacks, she can’t help smiling, too
excited for their journey together. No matter what happens in the future, but
she knows for now, she loves Koi and Koi loves her very much. No matter what
others says about their relationship, she knew that if they are sure of what
they want, she knew that they will stay long. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Ji Hyo was flipping through some documents when
there was a knock on the door. Before she could answer, the door swings open. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">“Yuri? Why did you come back to the office?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">“We drove by after dinner and saw the lights are
still on. So I bet you must be still here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">“Yea, I am just going to finish up some stuff
here…” Her eyes returned to the lengthy words on her desk. “You can just go
back, I am fine here.” She gave a smile. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Yuri gave a sigh as she looked at her wristwatch “Unnie.
It’s almost 7pm. Are you planning to stay here for the night?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Ji Hyo looked up to the concerned Yuri. She let
go of the pen that she was holding. “Well, I just don't feel like going home. I
am going to face the empty walls only.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">“Are you really feeling fine?” Yuri walked beside
Ji Hyo and made her looked at her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Ji Hyo’s eyes quickly gave away. She knew what
Yuri was talking about. “I really appreciate your concerns...but yea I am
holding well. It’s just...”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">“I miss her so much today.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Yuri sat down in front of her desk. She reached
out for her hand and caress them. “Unnie....you have to let her go...if not you
can try fighting for her. I know you told me..after she left, you guys never
really talk it out...”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Ji Hyo nodded regretfully.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">“Perhaps...give her a call. Tell her that you
still misses her. Let her know that you still cares about her. If she has
really moved on, so you must move on too. At least you have given your shot and
tried your best. No point mopping over her. Life must go on. You need to have
your own life.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Ji Hyo listen attentively. Yes, Yuri is right. At
least she must give her last shot. No point lingering over someone that has
long moved on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">“Maybe I will send her a message.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Yuri just smiled. “I hope you really do. You know
I really see you like my big sister. I don’t wish to see you being alone and
sad like this. You need happiness, and you deserve someone better. Someone that
really willing to walk this path with you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

weird..." Ji Hyo whined looking at the clear brownish liquid. Her forehead
frowned as Hebe gave her a mouthful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

good for your body and it will make you vomit out all the bad stuff...I know it
may taste bad but be a good girl okay?" She hushed. Hebe reached out Ji
Hyo’s hand and patted her hair. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Obediently, Ji Hyo
drank all that Hebe fed her. It was not something tasty but she drank for the
sake of Hebe. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Hebe helped Ji Hyo
slowly to the toilet and sat by the toilet bowl with her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">"You sure you going
to stay here? It’s not a pretty scene." Ji Hyo laughed weakly. “Now I’m a
bit embarrassed for you to see me in this state.” Ji Hyo had a messy bun tight
up, top with a loose baggy shirt and pants and a worn out face. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

saying? Of course I'll stay by your side, silly." She flashed out a warm
smile.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">As expected, after
drinking the boiled water, Ji Hyo vomits out everything. It was painful for
Hebe to watch how Ji Hyo struggles to keep up with the vomit reflex. Ji Hyo
literally felt like she’s going to vomit out her entire system. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Hebe could only
brush her hand up and down her back, gently soothing her back. "Everything
is going to be fine..." <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Ji Hyo opened her
eyes and the sky is still dark. She does not know how long she has slept but
she felt so much better. She charged her battery-dead phone and turned it on. It
was 4am. There were 32 missed calls. 19 calls were from the company and the
rest was from Hebe. She felt guilty immediately. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Then she heard
noises in the kitchen. She got up from bed and slowly walked out of the room.
She was surprised to see Hebe moving about in the kitchen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Ji Hyo's weak voice. "You're up? How are you feeling?" Hebe let go of
the task on hand and walked towards her. “You’re looking so much better.” She
smiled. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

fever has subsides." She gave a smile. "Come, your stomach must be
empty right now…I have cooked some porridge for you."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Hebe made Ji Hyo sit
down on the dining chair. "I've made this as plain as possible...I know
your upset tummy wouldn’t like anything oily right now." Hebe served her a
bowl of chicken porridge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Ji Hyo just watches Hebe
talking and moving about silently. She was too touched to say anything. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

looking at me and not eating? Are you still feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”
She reached out her hand and caress Ji Hyo’s cheek. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

across Ji Hyo’s face. “Because I think I am too lucky to have you as friend, to
take care of me.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

sudden confession. “I am glad you know that.” She said as she shifts her eyes
towards the clock hanging on the wall. Hebe pushed the spoon onto Ji Hyo’s
hand. “Quick, eat a little before you take a rest again.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

saw a small bandage on Hebe’s pinky. "What happened here? I don’t remember
seeing it few days ago." She took her hand and gently caresses it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

gently. She reached out her hand and patted Ji Hyo’s head. “But now you’re
patient yourself, that almost passed out due to dehydration….shouldn’t you get
all the attention you need now?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

smile. Instead of insisting of being worried at Hebe’s pinky, she should get
herself fixed up so that Hebe can be at ease. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

her side on her double bed and there was Hebe sleeping peacefully. Addition to
the sun’s ray coming from the window, it makes her hair shines; she was a
sleeping beauty. Unknowingly, Ji Hyo reached out her hand and gently brushed
Hebe’s hair behind her ear to reveal more of her delicate face. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

drawn together, her lips pursed. This was her first time watching Hebe sleeps. Hebe
used to overnight at her place but she never looked at her that way before. She
can’t really help how she’s feeling, and suddenly she has this strong urge. To
kiss her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

sat up and frowns her eyes at Ji Hyo. “What are you doing so close up to my

better? Still feeling pain around this area?” She reached out her hand and
touched her abs area, just under her bosom. She froze at the sudden intimacy. She
prayed that her nervousness didn’t show on her face. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

bed, making herself comfortable on the bed. “Then now it’s time for you to
serve me….lunch. While I sleep.” She ends her sentence with a silly giggle. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

pulled the curtain together to make the room dimmer for a better sleep. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hyo thought her heart almost beat out of her system. Other than the sound of
the water flowing in the basin, she can hear her heart thumping so loudly. <i>What did she just done?</i> <i>Did she notice it? </i>She didn’t want to
lose a close friend like her; neither can she contain her feelings for her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

secretary for Ji Hyo. She is a Taiwanese that has stayed in South Korea for a half
a decade because her father was newly allocated there for work purposes. She
was new but she was hardworking and willing to learn. She was three years
younger than Ji Hyo and could speak fluent Korean. Her chestnut brown hair is straight and long,
it reaches her chest. She also has a dark brown eyes and a sweet smile that
made Ji Hyo took a second glance at her the moment she walked in. To be honest,
she was dazzled by her smile. It's warm and friendly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

collaboration but their friendship quickly grows. They moved to places
together, eat together, attend meetings together and for a few occasions, Hebe
stayed over Ji Hyo’s house after long girls’ talks. Hebe was her only friend

intensifying electric shock down her back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

lied. "Well, why I don't see any other student's this time?" She
looked around the empty classroom. Usually there are four other students
around, but today there are only two of them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

good with aegyo, do you know that?” She laughs at Hebe who’s playing along. “Honestly
when I first know you I wouldn’t have guess you will be someone with so much of

the first time they are being so close that she could smell her hair scent. It
was mixture of grapefruit, green almond and hints of lily flower scent. It was

were spending their Christmas eve night together, sipping on hot tea in the
balcony enjoying the city view covered with snows. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the lonely Christmas eve, she dreamt about their past again. The sky outside
the window was dark and it was snowing strong that night. The corn tea she

fight off the urges for a few occasions to call her because she knew that
calling her may worsens Hebe’s situation in her family. But neither did she

<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">She opened her eyes
and blinked a few times. The white ceiling decorated with black stars stares
back at her. It took her awhile before she turned to her side table; clock
showing 7am. It was her usual working morning. She crawled out of the bed
groggily and entered the bathroom. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

chest-length hair to the back reveals her wide forehead; she stares back at her
own reflection. Her gaze then drifted to the reflection of the digital calendar
hanging on the bathroom wall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">She poured herself a
bowl of corn flakes cereal and added few pieces of chopped strawberries. She
never liked adding milk into her cereal because she hates eating soggy cereal
and she's lactose intolerance in the morning. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">She settled down at
the couch in her living room with the bowl in her hand. As she ate mouthful by
mouthful once again her mind drifted off. She remembered how they try to spend
every breakfast together, as breakfast is the most important meal of the day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">They knew each other
through work. They clicked off almost immediately as friends because they found
out how they complement each other and sometimes a total opposite. She doesn’t
eat cereal in milk and the other one loves it with milk. She's a little casual,
bubbly and independent but the other is straightforward, sometimes moody but endearing.
She enjoys watching drama while the other enjoys listening to music, Beatles to
be exact. Most importantly they are comfortable around each other.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">They shares most of
their life’s' details together, their heartbreaks, their accomplishments, their
inside jokes, problems and all. Long talks were spent over coffees dates until
the wee hours. As their friendship grows, feelings started developing too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

she closed the door behind her. Ji Hyo lets out a sigh of relief. Rejecting
promising guys has always been part and parcel of her life. She always says
sorry to those bachelors but she never really explained why. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

was only 10. The way she felt for girls emotionally is different for guys. Of
course there are guys that she thinks they are cute or handsome, but she was
never emotionally attached to them. That's when she </span><span lang="EN-MY" style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-MY; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">realized</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"> she likes girl.

anyone in her family. Only few of her friends knew about it. She was an independent woman so she started living on her
own when she was 18, in her own way. She graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce
Marketing and luckily she landed in a prestigious and listed real estate
company in South Korea. It took her a few years before she climbed to her
current position; Marketing Executive Manager, at the age of 30 years old. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“But I can’t
tie your hair prettily if you keep moving like this...” Gary reasoned in an
aegyo tone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Arasso…”
The girl said and stayed still obediently.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

dress up nicely and then we’ll go out soon alright? Omma is preparing all the

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The rapper
father, with his big but delicate hand, gently collects all of her soft hair and
tied them into a pony tail. And then grabbing a pink ribbon from the desk, he
tied a butterfly knot over the pony tail.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

scooped up his little girl and carried her like in a wedding style out of the

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In the
kitchen, Ji Hyo is diligently preparing the brunch. The menu of the day was
kimbap, ddeobokki, Korean pancake and a bottle of orange juice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Yeobo~!
Are we ready to go? This little one keeps complaining…” Gary said as he looked
at his girl in his arm. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Oh our Joo
Rin-ni is hungry already? Arasso, omma will quickly wrap all these up and be
ready okay?” Ji Hyo answered brightly while snuggling her nose against her
girl’s tummy. That made the girl giggled loudly again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“I’ll get
the rest of the things ready and we’ll wait for you in the car.” Gary said
before planting a loud smooch on her cheek. Ji Hyo just smiled at his sudden
‘attack’. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Gary left
the 4 year old Joo Rin on the couch and starts to get the other stuff ready
into the car. After all the stuff was loaded, Gary buckled his little princess
behind the seat onto the child seat. Ji Hyo followed afterwards and the three
set off for their Sunday outing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It was a
Sunday morning where Gary and Ji Hyo always plan it like a family day. They
frequently spent the day in Hangang River, spending some quality time together
over a picnic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“YEAY!!!”
She exclaimed excitedly with her hands up in the air. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">They got
down and chose a quite spot. It was Sunday but there were already a lot of
people in the park. They chose a secluded spot and laid down their things on
the mat. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Yeobo,
what time the others are coming?” Ji Hyo asked as she looked at the time on her
phone<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Both turned
to the sound from their back and saw Haha and Byul holding their son’s hand and
walking towards them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Oh, Dong
Hoon-ah!” He exclaimed as he watches the six year old boy came running towards
them. “You’re such a big boy now!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Dream-oppa!”
Joo Rin called out and ran towards the boy. “Annyeonghaseyo~” She greeted politely
with a slight bow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Wow, look
at her…so smart and obedient!” Byul said in amazement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Come let’s
go and play!” Dream reached out for Joo Rin’s hand and held her hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Don’t go
too far and be careful!” Ji Hyo called out. The two nodded their head briefly
before running away to the playground. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Unnie, you
prepared so much today….I feel so embarrassed coming empty handed…” Byul said
as she and Haha sat down on the mat with them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Byul took a
mouthful of ddeokbokki and her eyes widened, “Wow they are so good!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Ji Hyo just
smiled at her comment. “She really improved a lot after giving birth to Joo
Rin….” Gary added with a proud smile on his face. “Because of her, my belly is
really getting more and more obvious…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“It’s you
are the one that’s not doing exercise…why blame it on my cooking…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“I skipped
gym because you said you like them!” Gary retorted. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Seeing the
two argued like children, Haha and Byul can’t help but to laugh out loud. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“How’s Jong
Kook oppa? Still going on steady with his date?” Ji Hyo asked suddenly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“I didn’t
hear much about him, but the last time I heard it was going all well...” Haha
said, with shy smile at the end. “I think this time it’s working…” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Really?!”
Ji Hyo said excitedly. “I really want to attend Jong Kook oppa’s wedding.
Yeobo, perhaps you can rap some congratulating message on that day.” She nudged
Gary who was busy eating. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“By the
way, where’s the maknae? Still in Busan filming?” Haha asked as he chomped on
the food. “Kwang Soo is so busy recently that I barely get to see him.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“He called
last night and he said he can’t make it to the dinner this Saturday…now he’s a
big movie star…he has no time for us.” Ji Hyo pouted slightly. “I also heard
that his girlfriend was a little jealous because of his kissing scene.” She
laughed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The four
continue chatting about their daily lives, talk about the other members ever
since Running Man has stopped filming four years ago. Each member focused on
their individual schedule; movies, dramas, hosting, business, family planning
and dating. Sometimes they will meet up for dinner to get together and talk
about their old days in Running Man. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Both
families spent some quality time together before Haha and his family had to
leave earlier due to some schedule. Gary spent some time to teach Joo Rin to
ride the bicycle while Ji Hyo stayed at the mat and watches the two. They
played a while before taking a rest on the mat. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Appa….what
is this?” His little girl rubs her hand over Gary’s right arm where it has a tattoo
of the words ‘DJ’ on it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“This?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Gary looked
at Ji Hyo who was just smiling. She objected when he said he wanted another
tattoo initially because she knew how painful it is, but she finally conceded
after knowing the meaning behind the tattoo.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“This one means
Double J, which stands for Ji Hyo omma and you, Joo Rin – the two most
important people in my life...” He said as he caresses his little girl’s head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Joo
Rin-ah….” Ji Hyo hesitated. “Do…you want to….have a brother or sister to play
with you?” She asked suddenly while wiping the little beads of sweat off Joo
Rin’s forehead. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Little Joo
Rin looked up to Ji Hyo with a widened eyes. “Dongsaeng?” She then nodded her
head happily. “Yesh! I wanna play with them…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Gary who is
lying down on the mat lazily suddenly sat upright. He then scooted closer to Ji
Hyo. “Ji Hyo-ah….don’t tell me….” His mouth started to form a curve upwards.
His hand reach over to her tummy and touched them. “Are you…?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Seeing his
excited look, Ji Hyo burst out laughing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Well…unfortunately
it’s not, yeobo.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Gary’s face
tones down immediately. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">She saw his
disappointed look and gently caresses his face. “I just thought how our Joo
Rin-ni is big now and I think she would love to have another sibling to keep
her accompany…And…you and I need to work for it to happen….” Her voice trailed
off shyly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">With a
sheepish smile Gary whispered softly, “Tonight…I’ll put Joo Rin to sleep
early…” He leaned nearer and gave a kiss on Ji Hyo’s cheek which she just
smiled. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Appa
kissed omma again!” Joo Rin said excitedly while clapping her hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Joo Rin
wants some kiss also? Come let appa kiss you too!” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">*<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Ji Hyo was
sitting comfortably on the bed, one hand on the tv’s remote when Gary came into
their room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Joo Rin is
asleep?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“I think
she had too much fun in the morning so she fell asleep quite quickly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“What’s
behind you?” The fast sense Ji Hyo could see that Gary was holding something
behind him as he stood there not moving. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Well, it’s
nothing much…” Gary walked right to the bedside and revealed a small bouquet of
rose. “This is for you, yeobo.” He leaned down and kissed her on her lips.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Since when
you bought this…?” Ji Hyo was really delighted as she received the flowers
gratefully. She sniffs in the fragrance of the flower and a smile spread across
her face, <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Gary climbed
onto the bed. He then slipped right under the blanket and cuddled Ji Hyo. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Yeobo….is
there anything interesting on the television today..?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“There is…until
you came on the bed…” Ji Hyo said and she turned off the television. She then
turned to Gary. “Gumawo, Kang Gary.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">He has a
silly smile on his face because of her soft words, but he wasn’t satisfied. “Just
a thank you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Ji Hyo leaned
forward and kissed him on the lips. Gary then brought her closer to him,
zeroing the gap between them. He then brushed her hair aside and tugged it
behind her ear that revealed more of her side cheek. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“You’re
looking so beautiful today…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">He slowly
leaned in and kissed her, softer this time. He gently lifted up her chin and
their noses touched. She could feel his warm breath on him as he breaths. He
rub his nose against hers playfully before leaning in for another kiss. They
were soft and gentle, and Ji Hyo felt everything melt. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Suddenly,
he broke apart. He smiled; his sweet, handsome smile. "Yeobo...tonight we’ll
make another one?" <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Ji Hyo smiled
before leaning in and pressed their mouths together. This time the kiss was
more persistent, more URGENT, almost. Their hands roamed freely on each other’s
body under the blanket. Gary gently broke apart, to breathe. Then, he reached
for her ear. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Saranghae,
Song Ji Hyo.” He whispered before continuing the night with lots of love. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

“Hyung, I think I am ready.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ready for?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’m ready to settle down.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Haha’s eyes widened. “A-Am I really hearing this from you?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Did you have too much or what?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jong Kook checks the amount of soju bottle that they had
during the dinner. They only had 2 bottles so far. So it’s a bit difficult for
Gary to be drunk being a good liquor holder.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hyung, don’t worry. I’m not blabbering nonsense. I’m
perfectly awake and in my senses… I’m just speaking out what my heart feels all
these while.” He said as he held his chest. “I just can’t stand at the fact
that I don’t get to see her every day. Sometime I can’t sleep at night because I’ll
be missing her smile, her eyes, her laughter, her hair, her scent—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Stop there hyung!…We know exactly what you are trying to
get at.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary chuckled to himself. He didn’t know he was this cheesy.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yea, instead save all these words for her…” Jong Kook gave
a wide smile. “When do you decide to propose to her?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Haha nodded in agreement. “I think Ji Hyo’ll be so touched when
the day comes. But hyung, would she accept it? As in with all the company contracts,
fans and her career? Will they respond well?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jong Kook shook his head. “I don’t think that matters first.
Most important right now is that Ji Hyo understands what Gary feels towards
her, that you are really serious this time. Everything else will work out
eventually if there’s a mutual discussion with all the parties. I believe Ji
Hyo’s fan will support her.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yea I think Jong Kook hyung is right. You must let her know
what you really feel…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Gary-ah, if you are for real this time, we as brothers will
brainstorm for you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahhh….hyung ottoke? I’m feeling so nervous already….what if
she rejects me? I think I will die.” Gary covers his face with his palms. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hyung always think on the positive sides! You must pick the
right moment! The moment is the key…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yea…Dong Hoon you should teach him something….I can’t give
you much advice though…” The bachelor’s voice trailed away. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hyung! Please meet some women would you? You can’t get
married to your muscle!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Do you think I am stupid? Of course I know that. Okay!
Enough about me. It’s about Gary now and let’s focus on that.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The trio continues their dinner with more talking and ideas
for the proposal. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Gil-ah, hyung have something to say…” Gary brought Gil to
the couch at the corner and made him sit down beside him. The recording studio
was empty as the other staff went out for lunch. “Keep this to yourself first.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What is it hyung? What is so secretive about it?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I…am thinking of settling down. I am going to propose to Ji
Hyo.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“EH?!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Shhhhh! Why are you giving such a big reaction?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh I’m sorry… Cause I just can’t believe what I’m
hearing.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Is it really so unbelievable?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Because hyung you have always portray a floating lifestyle!
Like you never wished to be tied down because of marriage.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I know…I never thought that I would come to this decision
too…But after knowing her, I think I have grown a lot. My thoughts are becoming
more sensible and more mature. I want to belong to someone and a place where I
call home.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hyung, you are making me jealous already….when will I meet
someone like that?” Gil gave out a long sigh and put his hands behind his head.
“I dream of a home too….”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I think that’s the ultimate part of getting into
relationship. It builds you up and becoming a better person.” Gary gave a silly
smile. “I think she is where I should belong, my destiny.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Arghhhh! Hyung do you know your words gives me goosebumps?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“So now I’m working on something.” Gary stood up and walked
over to the table. “This song is written for her.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No wonder I’ve seen you working hard on it.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I really hope she understand how I feel about her.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo closed the door behind her and she lazily walked into
her house. It has been a long day for her since 4am in the morning for the cap
photoshoot. Just then a call came in, it was from Gary. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa….”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You sound so tired…yeobo.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Your call just came in time…I just reach home…” Ji Hyo
slumps onto her couch. She then released her hair band and let her hair loose. “And
I’ve been standing up the whole day…my legs are so painful.” She whined. She reached
out for her strained legs and massages them gently.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Aigoo, my poor Ji Hyo….should I come over now?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I wish you could too but oppa it’s 1am already…and your
place is so far—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Suddenly her doorbell rang. She looked over to the intercom
and to her surprise, she see Gary’s face on the screen. Ji Hyo ended the call
and tossed her phone away. She then quickly rushed over to the door and opens
it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Kang Gary!” Ji Hyo can’t believe her what she is seeing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Surprised to see me here?” Gary gave a cheesy smile. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Kang Gary…It’s so late already…why are you….awww…” She
couldn’t finish her sentence. Her lips eventually formed into a pout and she
stepped forward to give him a tight hug around his neck. Gary reciprocated by
hugging around her waist.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Because I miss you…so I came and drop by. You see, I even
brought over some snacks.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo broke off the hug and looked at what he has brought
along. Gary raised his hand and dangles the food in front of her. She knew almost immediately that it was fried
chicken and jjajangmyeon. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“How did you know I was craving for it?” She said with
glistening eyes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I know today’s your last day of photo-shoot and probably
you can eat anything you want…so I bought your favourites.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah….as expected, Kang Gary knows me the best.” She gave a
light kiss on his cheek. His face was brimming with happiness as he watches his
woman being so happy. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They settled down in the dining room, and Ji Hyo chomped
down the food happily. The food in front of her totally completes her day. “Oppa,
you don’t have any schedule today?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh, today? I was going around running some errands with Gil
earlier this morning and had lunch with other staff….”<o:p></o:p></div>

“Ahh…I have not seen Gil oppa for some time…How is he?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
“H-He’s totally fine...”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa.” Ji Hyo squinted her eyes look straight into his. “Is
there anything wrong? Why do you sound so weird?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Did I?” Gary quickly looked away.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You can’t lie to me…” Ji Hyo scooted nearer and pointed at
him. “Oppa…do you have something to confess?” She asked softly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I have something to let you hear actually…” Gary rubs back
of his hair.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh?” Ji Hyo’s face lit up almost immediately. She was a
Leessang fan after all. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s a song I compose recently…and I collaborated with Jung

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh please! Let me hear it already!” She said in an excited
tone. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary took out his phone and swiftly chose the newly composed
song. “Please listen to the lyrics and let me know what you think about it. I
need to go get something from the car.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh alright.” She answered briefly and plugged in the
earphone. She was really excited. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’ll leave you alone then.” He gave her a peck on the
forehead and left the house. She just smiled and focused back on the song and
pressed the play button. <o:p></o:p></div>

Ji Hyo’s eyes starts to well up towards the end of the song.
Even without him saying, she knew obviously the song was made for her; the
description and the feeling totally described her. She was overwhelmed by the song because
nobody did this for her before. <o:p></o:p></div>

“Kang Gary….why am I so lucky to have you..?” She said
softly and smiled to herself. As she indulges in her emotions, she noticed that
Gary was not back yet. She got up from her seat and went out of the house to
look for him.<o:p></o:p></div>

Ji Hyo could not finish her sentence. Her feet were rooted to the ground as she
witness the scene in front of her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There was Gil, Jong Kook, Haha, Jung In, Kwang Soo and of
course Gary. They were standing by his car which was parked a distance away
from her house, with Gary carrying a huge drawing block and the others holding
balloons and bouquet of flowers. The moment they saw Ji Hyo coming out, all of
them walked up to her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Kang Gary….w-what’s going on?” She was really in the state
of shock. “Jong K-Kook oppa, w-why are you here?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Jong Kook looks at Haha and gave a wide smile. Then he nudges
Gary by his shoulder. “Yah!”<o:p></o:p></div>

“S-Song Ji Hyo!” Gary started speaking in a nervous tone.
“Please stay calm and read the things I’ve written here.” <o:p></o:p></div>

Ji Hyo’s eyes were well up with tears and they began to roll
down. She cupped her mouth with her left hand because she could not believe
what she is seeing. Seeing Ji Hyo’s reaction, Gary’s mouth curved upwards. He
gave the cards to Kwang Soo and reached out the back of the pocket. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He took out a small, nicely decorated box. <o:p></o:p></div>

He walked nearer to the now, stunned Ji Hyo. “Now…” He spokes as he gently kneeled down on right

Ji Hyo looked up to all oppa and dongsaeng in front of him,

What are you waiting for?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes noona!” Kwang Soo chirped in. Jong Kook was smiling
from ear to ear till his eyes were barely visible. Ji Hyo looked back to Gary
that was still kneeling. His eyes were small, but she could see his sincerity,
right from the moment they started to date. She could totally feel his love for
her especially from the song just now.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa…” She spoke softly. “You’re the answer to a girl like

“So is that a yes?” Gary’s face lit up.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo nodded.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With that head motion of hers, Gary fitted the ring into her
fourth finger and sprang up from the floor. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
“YAYYYYYY!!”<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Are you that touched…?” Gary asked softly with a brimming
face. He then gently wiped the tears off her soft cheeks. “I love you Song Ji
Hyo.” He whispered. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Do you know that Gary hyung and Gil hyung was driving
around this whole day to get these prepared for you? He even purposely chooses
this hour knowing that you only come back around this time.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hearing what Kwang Soo just said, Ji Hyo just look at Gary
and without a word, she gave him a peck and a hug around his waist. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“WOOooo…” Everybody cheered in unison. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I think we need to leave these two alone for some private
time…” Haha joked. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah people….tomorrow’s dinner is on me.” Gary spoke. “I’m so
thankful for you guys. I can’t get this done without all of you.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Gil nodded. “Of course! I want top grade Korean beef please.”
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Ji Hyo burst out in laughter. “Yah oppa…Korean beef is
expensive….” She said softly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“WOOOooooo…look at noona, behaving like a wife already…taking
care of Gary hyung’s finance.” Kwang Soo said. His words made everybody burst
out in laughter. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As if it is natural, Ji Hyo’s hand automatically lifted up
and wanted to hit Kwang Soo’s head. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Noona! You are now someone’s wife already, you can’t always

“Yah Lee Kwang Soo! Can you just stop talking for a minute?”
<o:p></o:p></div>

Again, everybody just
burst out laughing. <o:p></o:p></div>

“Well as for now, we’ve not yet received any complaints or

“Yes, so you guys have nothing to worry about, nothing to

Gary and Ji Hyo both came out of Jo PD’s office with a relaxed
mind. Ji Hyo nudged Gary’s waist with a smile. “So now you’ve nothing to worry
about anymore…I told you Chang Jo oppa won’t do anything weird…And you kept
insisting to see PD-nim…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s good that nothing happened….I just don’t want anything
that affects you…” Gary said smiling, glad that how things have turn out. “This
worth a celebration doesn’t it?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
JI Hyo’s eyes literally sparkled when he mentioned
celebration. “Soju!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Tsk tsk tsk look at you…You only thought about soju…Now I’m
getting worried.” He said with a little pout.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Well....” She immediately understood Gary’s facial
expression. Ji Hyo linked her arm around his. “I promised that I’ll only drink
moderately when I’m with others….So that you don’t have to worry about me
getting drunk all over the place…okay?” Ji Hyo said with her aegyo smile.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As expected, it worked like a magical charm. Gary’s face lit
up immediately. He then looked around in the SBS building, making sure that
there’s no one near them, he quickly took the chance to interlock his fingers
with hers. “I’m worried because of your
safety and health…” He said gently. His concerned words made Ji Hyo smile in
return and she gently laid her head against his shoulder. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Arasso…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Let’s go grab something delicious to eat okay?” Gary said with
a wide smile.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo nodded. They both automatically let go of each other
before stepping out of the building’s back door to prevent any paparazzi
pictures of them. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After a sumptuous grilled makchang dinner at Gary’s
restaurant, he fetched Ji Hyo home. It was around 11 at night when Gary parked right
in front of her house.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahhh the dinner was just too enjoyable~~Gumawo oppa…” Ji
Hyo said while rubbing her bloated tummy. Gary smiled at the sight of this. He
just loves how she behaves exactly like herself, not faking it like the other
women he met before; very human-like. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Your appetite is really not joking…almost reaching my
appetite.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Don’t like it…?” Ji Hyo asked, a little hesitating because
eating has always been her favourite thing to do.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Why would I?” Gary responded greatly. “What’s better than
having your girlfriend enjoys food as much as you do? Don’t forget that I’m
Gourmet Kang Gary too.” Gary said proudly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo laughed at his words. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Plus….” Gary rubs the back of his hair a little. “I like
you for who you are, for your simplicity and down to earth personality. Not
because of your pretty face or your slim body….So I don’t care about your
figure, eat as much as you want as you like as long as you’re happy, I love you
just the way you are.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary words made her smile shyly. She was a bit speechless at
first but she could feel that it wasn’t his usual cheesy words. It felt
sincere, all of his thoughts and from the bottom of his heart. She gave a warm
smile before leaning forward and planted a kiss on his lips. The kiss was
sweet, affirming whatever Gary just said. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Straight after the kiss, Gary pulls her in for a hug. “Sometimes
I really think that why would someone like you fall for a man like me?” He said
with a grateful smile.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“That’s really easy…because you’re Kang Hee Geun.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Awwww….now I’m touched.” Gary smile widely. “Tomorrow
you’ve got a meeting in the company right?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes….for two advertisement project if I’m not mistaken…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Wooo my Ji Hyo is getting really famous isn’t it? This is
good….”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Instead, I might be busier….and less time to spend with
you….” Ji Hyo said with sulking tone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hearing her voice, he broke off the hug and cups her fair
skin in his bold hand. “Aigoo…our Ji Hyo is really sulking aren’t you? Don’t
worry, I’ve more free time, I’ll make sure that we’ll definitely spend some
time together okay? Just make sure you don’t start finding me a nuisance.” Gary
laughs lightly. He then tucks her fallen fringe behind her ear. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Arasso…” Ji Hyo nod lightly. “I better get going
now…Meeting them early tomorrow. I don’t want to give bad impression on the
first meeting.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course…Need a wakeup call?” He said, gently brushing the
side of her cheeks.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Thank you…but I rather you sleep more…my manager unnie will
wake me up in time….” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Okay then, get in now and I’ll call you when I get home
okay?” With that he planted a quick goodbye kiss on her cheek. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Goodnight, yeobo.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo looked at herself in the mirror, her usual routine.
She scanned her body from the top till bottom. She really got nothing to
complain about. As she looked, Gary’s words came into her mind and she smiled
again. She then wrapped herself in the bathrobe and head out of the bathroom. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She sashayed slowly out, looking at the clock hanging in her
bedroom wall while drying her hair. It was almost an hour after he left and he
hasn’t called. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Oppa said he would
call….Should I give him a call?<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
JI Hyo picked up her phone that was on her bed and settled
comfortably at the couch in her room. She was about to press the speed dial #2 when
she remembered Gary’s last word in the car.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Goodnight, yeobo<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His gentle words made her lips curved upwards. It was her
first time to have someone to call her that. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Yeobo?<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She never thought that she would hear that from Gary. It
came so naturally, as if they were real husband and wife. Although these
nicknames are pretty common among young couple, however at their age, each
progress in relationship is taken into serious considerations and could bring
other meaning.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Kang Gary….Oppa….<b>Yeobo.</b>”
Ji Hyo tried saying. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She laughed at her own fascination. Actually <b>yeobo</b>
doesn’t sound bad…she actually like it. Just as she was wrapped in her own
world, her phone rang. It was Gary. She
picked it up almost immediately.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh, Oppa…I was about to call you actually…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Really? There’s quite a heavy traffic so I’ve just got
home. What are you doing…?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Batang","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Ahhh I see…I just got off the

okay..? Goodluck for the meeting tomorrow. Goodnight .”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Kang Gary.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yea..?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Goodnight….yeobo.” She said timidly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh?” Gary’s chuckling could be heard at the end of the
line. Ji Hyo could only smile widely hearing his excited tone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Okay…sleep early and dream of me. Saranghae, yeobo.” <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The week passed quickly with Ji Hyo’s busy schedule. She had
to attend meetings regarding two advertisement projects to discuss about the
concept and other miscellaneous matter. Gary on the other hand just stays home
most of the time to work on some song. They didn’t manage to meet each other
much because Ji Hyo had to travel around and about for the photo-shoots. Gary
could only send healthy herbal drinks to her manager so that she can pass them
to Ji Hyo. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They finally met each other on during the filming of Ep 164
where Yoo Ah In and Kim HaeSook came out as guest. That week’s theme was
inheritance theme. Ji Hyo and Gary was made the husband and wife with three
children; Haha, Kwang Soo and Ah In. They both really enjoyed each other’s’
company throughout the filming. It was a funny episode where everybody enjoyed
the theme and jokes. Of course, Kwang Soo was made fun of thoroughly during the
songpyeon (dumpling) snatching game and cooking time, but it was only for fun.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the entire day’s filming, the members decided to have
another gathering since it has been a long time since they do that. They
decided to eat over the usual soju place they would go to.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Omma! What do you
like about appa? His ugly but cute face?” KwangSoo teased loudly. The Monday
Couple has never fail to be the centre of topic when they gather.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I know I know! It must be appa’s clubbing style…” Haha
stood up and danced a little. “That’s why omma likes to club too right?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah what nonsense are you guys blabbering right now? I’ve
always like clubbing, not because of Kang Gary.” Ji Hyo protested. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh so now you finally confessed that you like clubbing
huh?” Suk Jin laughed. “So I guess the rumours of being delinquent Ji Hyo
during your younger days are all true….”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah yah yah! Stop all of you! Stop making fun of my Ji
Hyo…How can you guys bully her?” Having said that, Gary envelope his arms
around JI Hyo and made a pitiful face.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Wuuooooo…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because of Gary’s protective words, the shy Ji Hyo pushed
his arms away and hit them slightly. “Oppa!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You guys are behaving like husband and wife….right? Do you
guys think so too?” Jong Kook chirped in. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“How does it feel to be husband and wife today? It’s seems
like it is becoming reality?” Jae Suk jeered while filling up Gary’s soju cup. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh yes! I heard Ji Hyo noona calling Gary hyung with yeobo
and all…” Said Haha, adding oil to the fire. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah….” Ji Hyo looked down, face red with embarrassment. “It
was a slip of tongue…I didn’t realise it—” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Aigoo…let’s just give them some time to breathe okay…Let’s
toast instead.” Jae Suk the life saver for that couple.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Toast to?” Everybody lifted up their cup.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Well emm….” Jae Suk hesitated and looks at the couple.
“Let’s toast to their beautiful relationship.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Cheersss~~!!!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The dinner continued with more chatters and jokes. All the
members really enjoyed themselves the max. However Gary and Ji Hyo decided to
excused themselves earlier.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh why so early?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ji Hyo still have some more schedule tomorrow…So I’m
sending her back first.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh such a pity…” Haha commented. “But well better go back
and rest early. I know your sleep is more important.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“So people, we will move first. See you guys next week.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They decided to leave early too because Gary wanted to spend
some time alone just with her, nobody else. They decided to go Hangang park for
a short stroll before heading home. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahhh now things are quieter now….” Ji Hyo said in a small
voice. “Oppa-deul are so noisy especially Haha oppa…” Ji Hyo let out a small
laugh. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Let’s go sit at that bench okay?” Gary suggested.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They both walked with their fingers interlocking with each
other’s towards the bench. The Hangang park was quiet as usual, only the soft
sound of the wind blowing could be heard. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Did you finish the herbal drink I bought for you?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes, I drink them all….”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“That’s a good girl…” Gary said as he looked at his watch.
It was almost 1am. He then let out a sigh. “Why is it that our meeting are
always so short?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa….”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“The time seems to past extremely fast when I’m with you…”
He smile. “If only I could see you everyday.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo’s laying against Gary’s shoulder, sat upright and
turned to look at him. “Oppa, what are you trying to say?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

“Oppa! Any free time to spare now?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Eh? Now?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa, are you okay with this arrangement?” Ji Hyo looked
over to the driver. “I don’t know if this is a rush decision, but I think this
is a good—”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Well, if you think this would make up everything, then oppa
will support your choice. Don’t worry too much about me. Just do what you need
to do.” Gary reached out his hand and placed them firmly on her hands, assuring
her decision. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once they reach her house, which was just a short 10 minutes
distance from the mart, they got down the car. A silver sedan followed closely
behind. CEO Baek got down of the car with heavy footsteps. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The two guys sat in the living room opposite from each
other. It was so awkward that Gary literally felt suffocated. He looked around
nervously trying to avoid eye contact with CEO Baek.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Are you nervous?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Eh?...Me…No...It-it’s just that—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Just be comfortable Gary-ssi…you don’t have to be like
that…” He said politely. “You don’t have to be so formal around me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh…yes…” Gary looked over to Ji Hyo who’s busy in the
kitchen, preparing the tteokbokki. “Well…I think I’ll go over to the kitchen to
help her…Please wait a while.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He bowed slightly and excused himself to the kitchen. CEO
Baek just silently watched the two from the couch. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>‘You didn’t appreciate
her enough and so you had to let her go.’<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
CEO Baek scolded himself mentally. That’s the reason why he
lost Ji Hyo to Gary. He can see that how Gary’s life revolves around her. He
watches how Gary attentively helps Ji Hyo around, being there with her even
such a trivial matter. He remembers back a few occasions where he had to leave
Ji Hyo alone because of work. As a CEO he has a lot of work to in the company
and entertaining important guest. By the time he spends time with her, he’s
already exhausted. It felt like a boiled water that has been cooled down and he
forgot the ways to keep them boiling. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As his thoughts deepen, lost in his world of regrets he was
suddenly called out by Ji Hyo’s voice. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa! Are you okay?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You are staring at the kitchen the whole time…You didn’t
even see me passing by in front of you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh…did I? I was just thinking about some stuff back in the
company…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh oppa are you busy? Then do you want me to pack this up
for you?” Ji Hyo said, pointing to the plate of delicious saucy tteobokki that
was place on the living room table. Gary then came over to the living room with
two bottles of cold soju. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“How can I not eat this while when this smells so nice?” CEO
Baek said as he sat on the living room floor. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course, food comes before anything…” Gary said coolly as
he sat on the floor beside Ji Hyo. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Let’s tuck in then!” Ji Hyo said cheerfully. She passed the
chopsticks to CEO Baek and was anticipating his comment towards the food as he
eats one mouthful.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“How is it oppa?” She asked nervously. She looked over to
Gary who was munching off the food happily. “As expected…” Gary said with face
filled with happiness. He showed thumbs up sign before eating another mouthful.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes…Gary-ssi is right…It’s really delicious…” CEO Baek
commented. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh really? I was kind of worried at first…I’m glad it turned
out well…” Ji Hyo said shyly. She then tried herself and was amazed by how it
turned out well despite her bad cooking skill. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Gary-ssi, how’s work?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Thanks for your concern… Everything is fine at the moment…Just
the usual. ..Writing songs...filming Running Man and ohyea! Regarding what you
said earlier…I’m really sorry. I should have thought more about it before
behaving that way…I’m really sorry…Next time I’ll be more careful…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Don’t worry too much about that…I guess I was a little too
serious that it startled you…I’m sorry about that too…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No! No! Chang Jo-ssi! I’m the one at fault! I should be the
one to say sorry.” Gary lifted up the soju bottle and refilled CEO Baek’s cup.
“Come let’s bottoms up.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah yah yah…Why are the two of you keep trying to say sorry
to each other? Is there something that I don’t know?” Ji Hyo asked curiously. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Well it’s something between the guys…” CEO Baek said
suddenly with a sly smirk. Playing along, Gary nodded. “Yes, it’s between the
men only.” He said, adding to Ji Hyo’s confusion. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Despite feeling left out, Ji Hyo is really delighted to the
scene in front of her; a scene that she never had imagine that she’ll
experience. Both Gary and CEO Baek is talking to harmoniously to each
other…behaving like friends and even keeping secrets from her. She’s more than
contented. She felt that asking CEO Baek to come over was the right decision. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The supper aka hangout session continued further. They had a
couple rounds of soju and more talks. Gary starts to know CEO Baek more
personally and vice versa. CEO Baek personally felt that the dinner was a
closure to his relationship with Ji Hyo and the starting of a new friendship. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Thank you oppa….for coming over” Ji Hyo broke the silence
as she walked CEO Baek out. “I’m really thankful.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I should be the one saying that…Thank you because I really
enjoyed myself tonight. Your food is delicious.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“This is just a simple meal…Oppa you know I can’t really
cook right?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“But I know that there’s someone who will appreciate
whatever you feed him. And that person is waiting for you inside.” CEO Baek
gave a smile. “Go on inside…It’s cold outside here…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo broke into a shy smile. “Arasso…oppa.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa will get going now. I’ll see you around in the
company.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With that, CEO Baek entered the car and drove away. As she
watches his car disappear around the corner, suddenly, a pair of arms envelopes
around Ji Hyo waist. “He left already…?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yea….”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s so cold outside here…Aren’t you cold?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Smiling while looking down at the pair of arms that wraps
around her waist, Ji Hyo said “This already enough to make me warm and fuzzy
inside.” She reached out her hand and caresses Gary’s hair. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After cleaning up the mess in the living room and the
kitchen, Ji Hyo walked over to Gary who is sitting on the couch and
automatically occupies the space beside him. He then picked up the hi-fi’s
remote control to play some soft music. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Aigooo I’m so tired” Ji Hyo whined as she stretches her arm
up in the air. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Come here…” Gary said coolly, offering his leg as the
pillow. Accepting it gratefully, Ji Hyo quickly snuggled closer and rests her
head on his lap. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You’ve work hard today…” Gary said softly, stroking her
soft maroon hair. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Batang","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>I wonder how the producer is
going to edit today’s episode…? Do you think they’ll put the kiss in?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Batang","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Whatever, I hope the reaction
won’t be too explosive…I’m starting to regret already…” Gary said with a guilty
tone. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Don’t worry oppa, things will be fine…We’ll deal with it
somehow. Putting that aside, oppa, I feel that I have made the right decision
just now….” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You’re still thinking about the meal just now?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course I am…I was so worried that things will turn out
bad…or awkward. So I’m grateful to you oppa…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“To me?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo sat up and clasped her arm around his. Then she
rested her head on her shoulder. “Of course…Because you stood by me and
supported my decision. If you’re not
here, I don’t think I would have that much of strength and I have to affirm you
for that.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hearing the praise, Gary’s face got red all of a sudden.
“Well…I because I know you always make the right decision…you’re the wisest
woman I’ve ever met.” Gary said earnestly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Do I always make the
right decision?” Ji Hyo asked curiously, looking at him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course…that’s why I’m the luckiest man in the world…”
Gary said playfully with aegyo smile. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Eyyyy….someone is being very thick-skinned right now…” Ji
Hyo let out a big laugh. Gary is surely her endorphin, with his silly and
cheesy words it always makes her feel very loved. Having said that, she
snuggled closer to Gary. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With a soft voice, she gently whispered by his ear.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Instead of that….” She paused momentarily. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I should say
that…I’m the luckiest woman in the world...” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo’s magical charm definitely worked on him, sending
ultra-fast speed signals all over his body. His face turned red almost
immediately. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Suddenly Ji Hyo turned to his cheek and gave Gary a peck on
his cheek. Her surprise kiss quickly reminds him what he did today during
filming. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“So this is how wonderful it felt…” Gary chuckled softly,
making Ji Hyo embarrassed too.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He then gently tucks her fallen hair behind her ears. “You’re
looking extra beautiful today, Song Ji Hyo.” He said softly which made Ji Hyo
break into a smile. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The sky suddenly rumble with thunder and it started
drizzling. The sound of the soft raindrops hitting on the window pane just set
up the mood nicely. The atmosphere was perfect for something more. Adding on
was the smell of Ji Hyo’s perfume…Gary could literally felt his blood rushing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh..it’s raining…” Ji Hyo turned her head towards the
window. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ji Hyo-ah…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo turned back and saw Gary looking at her, in an
unusual way. His soft and gentle gaze that makes Ji Hyo’s heart flutters. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary reaches out his other hand for her chin. Holding her
chin, he slowly leaned in for her lips. Knowing what comes next, Ji Hyo close
her eyes and leaned forward. Within seconds, their lips met. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At first, it was a soft kiss, almost shy in a way, which greatly
contrasted Gary’s overflowing love for Ji Hyo. However as time ticks, their lips
soon move together in a sweet and but slow pace harmony. Gary’s fingers then
ran through her hair and trailed softly down her back. He pulled her body
closer leaving no gap between them. It was done without much effort. Ji Hyo
slowly wrapped her hands around the nape of his neck…deepening their kiss. The
Kiss...the first deep kiss they ever shared…after almost six months together, is
the most magical thing they ever felt so far, where their senses are heightened,
and their hearts beat together as one. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary starts to lean forward, with Ji Hyo leaning
backwards…slowing laying her back on the couch. Their lips never break apart,
still savouring the sweetness of each other’s lips. The smell of Gary’s cologne
was still lingering despite it was almost the end of the day. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All of a sudden, Ji Hyo felt something indifferent down her
body, which made her stopped kissing immediately. She quickly pushed Gary away
making him shocked a little. It was a very sucky feeling to be exact for being
rejected.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What happened?” He asked timidly. “You don’t like—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No oppa!” Ji Hyo tried to regain her shaky breathing from
the ‘vigorous’ act, as she tried to say something.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I-I’m having my menstrual….”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“AH!!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo’s word struck him immediately.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary quickly brushed off the rejected feeling but he quickly
reached out for his phone and swipe on the screen in a hurry. “Ah! Oppa has
totally forgotten that you’re only on your third day!” He gently hit his head. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’m sorry, Ji Hyo. Oppa should have known…” Gary said apologetically.
“I shouldn’t have—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo breaks into laughter seeing how worried and guilty
his face looks like. “Aigoo…oppa…” She sat up right and cupped the sorrowful
face of his. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’m sorry oppa, but I think you have to go back home tonight….”
She said. “Because if you stay here….It’s going to be very hard for you and for
me…” Her voice trailed off, because she’s so embarrassed to confess how she
feels about it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I should be saying sorry….that I forgot your menstrual days…I
should have pay more attention on it….” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You are already the best one…what else can I ask for?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Arasso…oppa will go back home…You better rest early okay?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa call me when you get home…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They had an almost inseparable departure at her door, before
he drove away. After the disappointing night, Gary went straight back home and
did some sit ups and bench press…to utilize away his ‘excess’ energy. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa you look like an ahjussi…” Ji Hyo broke into laughter
seeing Gary’s outfit for the day’s filming. “But you’re still very handsome..”
Ji Hyo said while adjusting his collar. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Really?” Gary let out a babo smile while admiring his own
reflection from the dressing table mirror. Sure his outfit for the day does not
reflect his usual hip hop style, but still he is satisfied because Ji Hyo
praised him nevertheless. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Aigoo~ Check those two out…Tsk Tsk Tsk….” Kwang Soo teased
as he walked away from the couple.<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahhh suddenly I miss Byul~” Haha said, with a whining tone
while gently stomp his legs. His childish act made his coordinator burst into
laughter. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hearing Haha’s sneering, she immediately let down her hand.
“Oppa-deul, see you later at the opening.” With that she smiled and left with
Myuk PD for the opening appearance. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jae Suk walked over after his stylist done preparing his
outfit. “Gary-ah, it’s really good to see you and Ji Hyo are progressing well…”
Jae Suk patted his shoulder gently with broad fatherly smile. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Just do your best as a boyfriend, and don’t hurt her
feelings. I know Gary you are good in these.” Jong Kook chirped in. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Whenever the members see them close together, they are
happier more than feeling envious of it because they knew maintaining relationship
in the entertainment industry is not easy. They try their best to keep it from
unfolding to the public.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary’s team was not satisfied about Jong Kook’s team way of
attracting Ji Hyo’s attention for the dancing game and they requested to try
one more time. While they are preparing to restart their challenge, a crazy
idea went across Gary’s mind. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Can I do it? What if
the media ask after I did it? Should we confess to the media by then? Is Ji Hyo
going to be mad if I really do it?<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Train of thoughts clouded his mind as they were about to start
their new attempt on the challenge. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Ahh better not care
anymore!... Let’s just do it!<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
GD’s team started dancing to ‘Gwi Soon, Look At Me’ slowly, towards
Ji Hyo. Then, Gary starts to approach her stealthily. He slowly danced around
her and had his hands around her head. Slowly using his thumb, he closes her
eyes and went forward. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With a loud smooch, he kisses Ji Hyo on the cheeks, near to her
right eye. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>..<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>….</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Everybody on the set was stunned for a second. Even Ji Hyo
herself.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>OMO! Did oppa just
kiss me in public?!<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jong Kook was stunned, his mouth opens wide. GD stopped
dancing, watched in awe. Jae Suk who was just standing beside was too surprised
but clapped his hand satisfyingly because of Gary’s daringness.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Everybody just couldn’t believe what Gary just did,
revealing his close relationship with Ji Hyo on the screen. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Looking at the situation, the quick-witted Kwang Soo rushed
forward, ‘trying’ to kiss Ji Hyo too on the cheek just to ease the possible
suspicion of Gary and Ji Hyo’s close relationship but seeing the kiss as a
‘gag’. However he was quickly stopped by everybody near her especially Gary. Seung
Ri came forward too, joining in the chaos. The overheated atmosphere was calmed
down by Gary; pulling everyone away. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While the others were busy discussing about kissing Ji Hyo
to gain her attention, Gary’s word made everyone laughed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Don’t talk to me…” Gary said shyly while brimming with
smile. His heart was beating fast; he was in the state of shock. He never knew
that he’ll be this nervous to kiss Ji Hyo in the public, in front of the camera.
He heaves out a deep breath. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Knowing well that most probably it’ll be broadcasted to the
fans of Running Man worldwide, nevertheless he was satisfied with himself. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Everybody did well but…” Ji Hyo hesitated. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Kang Gary.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo said lovingly
with bright smiles on her face. She was surprised by the kiss too but still she
enjoys it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was finally lunch break after the tedious paddy field
game. Everybody including some staff can’t stop teasing the two. The Big Bang
members were not sure of their relationship but join in the fun especially
Daesung.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hyung!” Daesung showed a thumb up at Gary which made him
blushed. “You’re so daring! You have my respect.” He teased again at Gary’s
action. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo who was standing at the side just can’t stop
giggling. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Oppa just invited
himself with some unnecessary trouble…<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jong Kook walked over and grabbed Gary by his shoulder. “Yah
Gary-ah! You’re really daring! You have my respect! Am I going to call her
jesu-ssi anytime soon?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Seriously hyung, it seems that everything around has something
to do with love…because you really love Ji Hyo noona a lot…” Kwang Soo said
with his trademark smile. “I wonder…when is my turn? Ah this is so frustrating!
Why did Yuri’s face come to my mind at this moment?” He said nonchalantly while
looking up. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hearing Kwang Soo’s lame fantasies, Ji Hyo can’t help but to
smack the back of his head lightly. “It’s lunch time so get your food! Don’t
waste time thinking the impossible…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah noona! Can’t you let me even fantasies?” Kwang Soo
grumpily complained and walked back to his seats. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary just foolishly smiled at everyone’s words. He then
walked over to the Jo PD who’s eating too and asked if the kiss is going to be
edited out or broadcasted. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Well, I guess it will be received well by the viewers…since
everybody loves Monday Couple...”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Who don’t?” Myuk PD chipped in. “Maybe it’s going to be played
in slow motion too!” He teased.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh hyung!” At that point, Gary was a very embarrass with
his ears turning red. He kinda regretted a little for creating so much of commotion
over his reckless action. But Ji Hyo didn’t seem to mind it, and everybody is
happy over it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Anyway thanks for the hard work, please do grabbed your
lunch. We’ll resume filming in a while.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary pulled Ji Hyo away from the crowd where all the staffs
are having their lunch. He slides her fringe slightly to the back of her ear
and sees her smiling face.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What is it oppa?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I just want to ask you about…this.” Gary lifted up his
right hand and touched her face at the spot where he kissed her that morning. “Are
you comfortable with it?” He asked gently. “I’m sorry that I’m a bit reckless…but
that’s the only thing that came up to my mind—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo’s place her fingers right on his lips, stopping his
sentence.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I don’t mind….” Her face lit up with a smile. She didn’t
need to express herself further. Her smile meant everything and Gary was
relieved. He lean forward and whispered softly by her right ear.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I knew that you’re always the adventurous kind.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His soft words that not only send electrifying signals down
her spine, but it made her laughed out loud. She hit him slightly, for his mischievous
words. Gary felt really happy for being able to work with his loved ones,
spending more quality time together.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That day’s filming continues till late evening, with Gary
openly and daringly add in a lot more of Monday Couple moments. Ji Hyo didn’t
seem to dislike the idea and even played along with it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The filming finally ended. Ji Hyo decided to take Gary’s car
home. While on the way back, she sensed that Gary was in an exceptionally happy
mood. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Are we going straight back to your house?” He asked
suddenly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What are we going to do? What do you have in mind?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I wanna eat food cooked by you…” Gary aegyo-ed. “It has
been a while…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A smile spread across her face, smiling at Gary’s way of
sweet-talking. “Arasso, what do you wanna eat?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Since it’s late now…what about tteokbeoki for supper?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Let’s go to the mart near my place and we’ll make some tteokboki
to eat before you leave. How about that?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary of course nodded, agreeing to the idea.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was near 11 pm when they reach the mart. Gary got ready
to get down of the car and quickly get to the inside of the store. As he was
checking through his smartphone for the ingredients to buy to make a tteokbeoki,
he heard his name being called. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Gary-ssi!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary was really surprised at someone recognizing his face.
Usually people won’t recognize him straight away especially when he’s not
wearing his trademark sunglasses and snapback caps. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He turned around and was slightly frozen at the person who
called him out him. It was not a fanatic fangirl, but man slightly taller and
chubbier than him; CEO Baek. He could recognize him right away. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh! Baek Chang jo-ssi…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’m surprised to see you here…do you live around here?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Actually I-I was—” Gary was extremely nervous meeting him.
The last time he met him was at Ji Hyo’s house when CEO Baek intruded their
morning, misunderstanding everything. He brought Ji Hyo away right under his
nose with excuses of meeting Gil for lunch (Chapter 5). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“AH! Because Ji Hyo lives around this area…” CEO Baek nodded
slightly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yea…we actually just came back from filming…” Gary
answered, unknowingly looking outside at his parked car where Ji Hyo is
waiting.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“So she’s there in the car? Waiting?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary just nodded his head. “I’m supposed to buy some stuff and
hurry back before she waits too long.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
CEO heaves a sigh. “Yes, and that’s my problem. I’ve let her
waited for too long…most of the times…”<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary just smiled at his words. He didn’t how to respond back
to his words as ji Hyo’s current boyfriend. There was an awkward silence after
that, but he still remained wordless. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Suddenly CEO Baek look up and said, “So…I’ve heard about
today’s filming…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Today’s filming?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“During filming time, you kissed her… in front of the
cameras, in front of the guest and staffs…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah….That!” Gary let out a nervous laugh. “Th-That was…” Suddenly
he just randomly picked up the milk bottle in front of him and fiddled with it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Seeing how nervous he was, CEO Baek let out a small laugh.
“You’re looking guilty don’t you?” He said out softly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I-I was…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
CEO Baek let out another small laugh hearing him stammer.
“Don’t worry Gary-ssi. I’m not blaming you, but please do consider your actions
before doing them. I understand that you guys are a couple now but the viewers
don’t know about you guys. We are not sure how the viewers will react to this
kind of matter; it could be positive or negative. Afte rall Ji Hyo is an
actress and she has an image. I don’t wish that Running Man will obstruct her
acting career.” His sentence was polite but firm.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah yes…” Gary quickly bowed. “I’ll remember that. And I’m
sorry. ”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary quickly turned around and saw Ji Hyo walking towards
him. “You’ve forgot your wallet!” She said but her expression immediately died
down when he saw the man who’s standing beside Gary. And of course she
immediately recognized the familiar body built.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“O-op-oppa…annyeonghaseyo~”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh Ji Hyo-ah…such a coincidence…I was just buying some stuff…And
I’m surprised to see you guys here….Together.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah..yes oppa…we’ve just finished filming…so we thought of
getting some food …”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
CEO Baek just nodded politely while looking at the matching
two. “Then I shall not disturb the two of you…I shall get going then.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before he leaves, Ji Hyo suddenly called him out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa! Any free time to spare now?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<b><u>Chapter 18</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
An hour has passed
after he sent the message to her. She didn’t reply nor did she call. He starts
to feel anxious but looking at the time, it was almost 12 midnight. He thought
that most probably she might be asleep. He decided not to message her anymore,
fearing that it will wake her up from her ‘sleep’. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As he was tired from
that day’s recording, he decided to turn in early. Turning off the television,
he sashayed to his bedroom and took off his t-shirt (as he likes to sleeps
half-naked). He closes his eyes as he falls back on his queen size bed on his
bare back. Soon, he drifted off to sleep while holding tightly onto his phone,
worried that he can’t hear his phone ringing if Ji Hyo ever called him. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just then his doorbell
rings. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Who could it be at
this hour?” He mumbled to himself. He sat back up and looks at the alarm clock
by his bed. Nobody really visits him out of blue at this hour, even there is,
most probably would be Gil. Thinking it would be Gil, Gary didn’t bother to
dress himself and stumbled to the bedroom door. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He dragged his leg out
of the bedroom and walked to the intercom. “Hello, who is out there?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa~!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary’s eyes widened as
he heard the familiar voice. Turning on the intercom screen, he was surprised
to see Ji Hyo waving on the screen.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ji Hyo?!” Quickly he
walked to the door and opens them to let her in. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Omo! Kang Gary!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo covers her eyes
with her hand the moment she’s greeted by Gary’s naked top. Shocked, Gary
quickly rushed into his room and gets into a shirt immediately. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Laughing at Gary’s
surprised reaction; Ji Hyo made herself at home and steps into the house
leisurely. She then closes the door behind her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh Ji Hyo-ah!” Gary
rushed out of the bedroom with hints of panting. “I’m sorry that you had to see
the ugly body of mine...” Gary said diffidently while rubbing the back of his
head. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo let out a smile
before stepping forward and gave the fully-clothed Gary a tight hug, wrapping
her hands around his neck. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa~ I’ve missed you…”
She said endearingly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Surprised at the
sudden skinship, his gave out silly smile. Naturally he responds to the hug and
held her tightly by the waist. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’ve missed you too…”
He replied gently by her ear. “But what happen? Why did you come over so
suddenly?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Nothing, I just
missed you suddenly…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Again Gary breaks into
a smile hearing those words from her. However it felt really weird for Ji Hyo
to say that because they’ve just seen each other during the filming barely few
hours ago. He believed she came for a reason or something must have happened.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Really not telling me
the real reason?” Gary broke off the hug and held her by the waist instead.
Then he made her look straight at him. “Why did you come here so suddenly? Did
anything happen?” He asked while stroking her hair gently. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Can’t a girlfriend
come by her boyfriend’s house?” She said with a little pout. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course you can! I
am too happy to see you in my house…you know I was so anxious because you didn’t
reply me…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You should have
called me…” Ji Hyo replied. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I thought you were
asleep…so I didn’t want to disturb you…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh oppa mianhe…I
wanted to come here earlier to say sorry…but because something cropped up, that’s
why I only come here now…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You’re sorry for?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“During filming…” She
hesitated. “I should not have made you stay when you found me and caused you to
be ousted by Ja Cheol-ssi…” She said timidly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Immediately Gary broke
into laughter while looking at the pity looking Ji Hyo. “Aigoo…my precious
little woman…You’re worried because of that? He replied with a rather absurd
amount of emotion in his voice. “Oppa is just joking around…I’m perfectly fine…”
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He held her face
delicately with his hands. He suddenly felt bad about sending that message,
making Ji Hyo worry over nothing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s just a game…Of
course I’m not mad at you…why would I? Ji Hyo-ah, you’re too cute! What can I
do about you?” Gary gently swipes her fringe hair to the back of the ear,
revealing more of her cheek. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You’re really not mad
at me?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course I am not.”
He said softly and brought her into his embrace, hugging her tightly, closing
the gap between them. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I thought you’re
because you did not reply me immediately.” Ji Hyo expressed with her sullen
look. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh mianhe…I left the
phone with my manager while filming. Then I forgot to retrieve it until I
remember it. I replied you the moment I saw the message…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh so it’s a
misunderstanding afterall…” Ji Hyo heaved in relief.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“But still it’s a good
thing! If not I wouldn’t have known how much you cared for me!” Gary grinned
happily. “I know I am the luckiest guy on earth to be Song Ji Hyo’s man.” He
then kissed the side of her cheek.<o:p></o:p></div>

Ji Hyo burst into
laughter hearing Gary’s cheesy word again. He then gently break the hug and led
her to the living room couch. He then made her sit down while he poured some
water for her from the kitchen. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Where’s your manager?
”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I drive here…” She said
softly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary’s eyes widened in
shock when he heard that. “You came here alone?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo nodded as she receives
the cup of water from Gary’s hand. He then quickly resumed his seat beside her.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You shouldn’t have
made this trip.” Said Gary in a worried look. He felt really bad that he made
her drove all the way to his place. “You should have called me instead…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Because…I have a happy
news to tell you personally.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Really?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo put down the
cup in her hand and positions herself to lay her head on Gary’s lap. “Just now Chang
Jo oppa ask for me…So I went and meet him…” <o:p></o:p></div>

“It felt like a stone
fell out of my chest…Chang Jo oppa’s word made me feel so happy. Finally I don’t
have that burden anymore when I see him. Now that we see each other as friends…it
felt more comfortable…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“That’s really good to
hear…” Gary said as he strokes her forehead. “At least if I ever meet him
anywhere, I don’t have to feel bad anymore…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“That’s why I couldn’t
reply you immediately…I was with him…” She paused. “But you know what, sitting
around him made me missed you more…That’s why I rushed over here…despite have a
schedule at 5am later…Manager unnie is gonna kill me…” Ji Hyo made a worried
face but she couldn’t care less because Gary is more important right now. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I know because you
love me so much.” Gary bent down and planted a kiss on her forehead.<span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo just smiled. “From
now onwards I can be more comfortable while filming Running Man.” She said
earnestly. “I don’t have the burden that he might be watching and feeling
uncomfortable…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary nodded in
agreement. Sometimes when he makes some joke about Monday Couple on screen, he
would have extra concern if CEO Baek ever watches them which he bet he does.
Now, he can also stop worrying about Ji Hyo’s future in her company.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s good that you
went and meet him…Indeed, Song Ji Hyo is the wisest.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Know that this is an
honour.” Ji Hyo stated proudly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I know I am a lucky
man.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary look at the clock
hanged at the wide wall of his house; it was fifteen minutes to one. “Don’t you
need to rest? It’s getting late.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo pouted the
moment he mentioned about separation. Gary smiles again looking at his woman. “But
you need to sleep so that you have energy to film…I don’t think your director
wants to see a panda actress on the filming set don’t they?” He pinched her
cheek lightly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo laughed at Gary’s
word. “Arasso...” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Let me drive you
home.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

“Really?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“</span>I’ll call you when I get back…”
Ji Hyo unwillingly steps out of Gary’s house with her fingers interlocking with
him. He then walked her to the elevator.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“</span>Drive back safely.” He gave
her his agyeo-est smile. Before leaving, Ji Hyo gave him a good bye kiss and
steps into the elevator. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s a wrap!” Jo PD
shouted. “Thank you guys! See you next week!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘Yah you two!” Jong
Kook immediately called out. “You two are getting sneaky now aren’t you? Ji
Hyo-ah you are getting bold huh?” Jong Kook teased. “You were practically
confessing to Kang Gary!” Jong Kook flipped through Ji Hyo’s drawing block that
was used to answer the ‘Gold’ or ‘Partner’ question.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I was just trying to
build the climax…glad it turns out successful.” Ji Hyo laughed. “The twist at
the end was just daebak.” She said while looking at the heavy gold pieces in
her pouch. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Seeing the commotion, KwangSoo
walked over. “How did both you guys choose ‘Partner’? Are you sure you guys did
not plan this?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Monday Couple shook
their head in unison. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“As expected from
Monday Couple.” KwangSoo let out an shy smile, covered with his hand. He’s too
happy and satisfied for his noona’s relationship with Gary. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It-it just happen
like that…I was surprised too!” Gary said while looking at Ji Hyo. “We are the
best couple aren’t we?” Gary slides his arm around her shoulder and brought her
closer to his body. “Indeed, we are the perfect match.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary slyly mouthed ‘Saranghae’
at Ji Hyo which made her laugh but his action was immediately caught by the sharp
Haroro. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Please leave all the
romantic words at home alright?” Haha spoke like an ahjumma with his arm tuck
on his waist. “Our hyung is still single. Don’t let him cry at home.” He said
while looking at Jong Kook. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Haha’s statement
caused them laugh out loudly which pissed Jong Kook off. “Yah! Ha Dong Hoon!
Everything was fine until you spoke! Why did you have to mention me?” He said
while ‘choking’ on Haha’s neck.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh Go Eun-ah!” Haha
acted like he’s going to die. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jong Kook's face
turned incredibly red as he let go of Haha. Yeay sometimes he feels envious of
Monday Couple because they found each other while he on the other side, still a
bachelor. "What’s wrong with being
single?" <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kwang Soo bit his
lower lip to prevent himself from laughing; “Hyung, just spent less time in gym
and more time socialising. You can’t date with your muscle you know.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His statement had
totally hit the point where everybody burst out laughing real loud. Even some
of the staff that heard their conversation laughs out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Soon the members bid
goodbye after fooling around too much. Ji Hyo then followed Gary back to his
car when suddenly Gary took her pouch and stashes the gold he had into it, and
giving back to her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa aren’t you
keeping them?” She asked curiously. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What’s mine is now yours.”
Gary said coolly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo’s eyes widened
as she felt that she has deciphered a different meaning to that sentence. He
then opened the car door for her and Ji Hyo entered the car with confused mind.

Ji Hyo put down her phone aside and massaged her tired legs. She peered at her phone to check if there’s any
reply. No, there isn’t any.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh this oppa is

“Why? What’s wrong?”
Ji Hyo’s manager asked with concern.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s nothing…it’s
just….ahhh ottoke! I feel bad…” Ji Hyo whined more while stomping her leg in
the car. She just finished Running Man filming for episode 153 where Park Ji

me out now?”</i></div>

<i>“If you ask me like that, I can’t say I will…”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“How come it’s just the two of us…?” Ji Hyo
voiced out in a frail voice. Although it’s just a game, but how much she wished
that it was someone else then she wouldn’t have the conflict now.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“Don’t look at me like that….I get
soft-hearted.” Gary honestly pleaded. That’s one of Ji Hyo’s charm and also his
weakness for her; her sad looking eyes that makes Gary say yes to everything
she says. The ambience of the room was dim which sets the atmosphere. Gary was
flustered because he promised his members that he will take out Ji Hyo when he
sees her. But now when he really does, he didn’t know what to do.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Gary heaves a sigh because he just can’t get
out of her charms. She looks too pitiful to tear her nametag. He wanted to break
his promise against teammates and he’s going to pretend that he never found her
when suddenly Koo Ja Cheol appeared and ambushed him from the back.</i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Within minutes of Koo Ja Cheol’s intereference
of their ‘romantic’ talk, Gary was ousted as he was too shock to
retaliate. After tearing his nametag, Ja
Cheol left the scene, leaving the two with their VJ’s.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Ji Hyo can only laugh, watching Gary’s
dumbfounded look when he just realised the reason why Ji Hyo asked him to stay;
so that Ja Cheol can come in time to tear his nametag.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Feeling sorry and guilty, Ji Hyo approached
Gary and reached out her hand to pat his back. “I’m going, Kang Gary.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“Forget it, I’m pouting.” Gary said softly.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“Don’t pout…” She patted him once more, feeling
guiltier. She reached out her hand to ask for reconcilement. “Let’s make up.”</i></div>

<i>“It’s fine, not today.”</i></div>

<i>At last, because for the game, she left Gary
after singing the main chorus of Leessang’s song; ‘The Girl who can’t break up,

Worried that Gary is
really hurt, she picks up her phone again and was about to type another message
when a message comes in.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

“Chang Jo oppa…?” Ji
Hyo mumbled to herself. “How should I reply him?” Ji Hyo hesitated. Not because
she doesn’t want to, but she’s more anxious about Gary.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Sa-jang-nim? I think
it’s wiser to meet him now…since he’s in the office now too…maybe he has some
new project to discuss with you perhaps?” Manager unnie suggested.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“But if it’s something
about work, he wouldn’t have messaged me privately; and it’s too late for a
work-related meeting.” Ji Hyo said while looking at her car’s clock; it was
already 9.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“But still…”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

It’s not the first
time she’s meeting him after their breakup, they met a lot of times through
general meeting of the company. Usually she just greets him, just like how other
colleagues like JYJ do. She tries her best to avoid meeting him alone, because
she’s not sure what he will talk about.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh this Kang Gary
has yet to reply me…What am I supposed to do about him?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Since you’ve already
message him, just wait for his reply…maybe he’s caught up with something that
he hasn’t seen the message?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

“Most probably…” She
said while checking her phone for his message for the last time. “I’ll meet

The two was dead
silence in the room. In the L-shaped sofa, Ji Hyo sat one end while CEO Baek
sat the other.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
“How are you recently?”
CEO Baek asked breaking the silence.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

“Yes, oppa. I’m fine.”</div>

CEO Baek heaves a sigh
as he sat upright from his relax position. “We once used to so close but now we’re
talking like strangers. Can’t we even be friends?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa, please don’t
say things like this.” Ji Hyo said softly, in a worried tone. Ji Hyo knew she
was partly to blame because she did not attempt to reconnect even as friends,
worried that he might get the wrong idea of reconciliation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa, I-I’m sorry…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’m not trying to get
a sorry out of you. I-It’s just that I want to—”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No, oppa. I need to
say that.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No, Ji Hyo don’t you
ever blame yourself. It’s my fault that things turn out like this. I have
neglected you many times due to work at times you needed me the most. I did not
pay enough attention on you when I had the opportunity.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I regretted so much
until now…” He said as clutched his fist tightly. “But I know you’ve already
moved on...” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course it’s a pity that
their relationship did not work out, but Ji Hyo did not want to see him sad. Instead,
she wants him to move on from her. “Oppa, are you okay?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It has been almost
five months they have broken up, but it had never occurred to her that he’s
still suffering. Seeing his emotionally tired face, she can’t help but to feel
sorry and guilty at the same time because she has been enjoying her days with
Kang Gary, feeling so loved all the time. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Today I’ve plucked my
courage to talk to you, to tell you that I really want to move on from you, so
that I can live on. I want you to be my friend, a friend that I can sometimes
call out to chill and talk, a friend that I can consult and ask advice from. I
don’t want to lose you even as a friend.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo was surprised
and touched at the same time at CEO Baek’s long words. It never occurred to her
that he would ever say those. Remembering that week that he pestered her over
their breakup, he was much more mature this time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa…”<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Don’t you ever feel
sad because love is like this; there’s no right or wrong. Sometimes we just
have to accept fact that love is something that can’t be forced upon.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa, I’m so happy to
hear this from you honestly. I’ve been nervous around you all these while. But
now, I no longer will be. From now onwards I’ll be more comfortable around just
like how we are last time.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Smiles spread among
both of them; they’ve finally broken the cold ice between them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They continue catching
up on each other’s live although she was supposed to go home and rest early
because of her 5am filming schedule the day after.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Suddenly her phone
beeped with incoming message and she quickly pick up to see who it was.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
From Oppa<3: “Oppa’s heart is really hurt
right now. <span lang="KO" style="font-family: "Batang","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: KO; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">ㅠㅠ</span>”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Was it from your
boyfriend?” CEO Baek asked politely.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah ye…No—I mean it’s
manager unnie. She just messaged me about my schedule tomorrow morning…”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>‘Should I go and find Kang Gary now and leave
oppa here? It would be impolite for me if I leave now although we just started
talking not long ago…But Gary oppa is more important now….’</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ji Hyo? Are you okay…?
Did you hear my question just now?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Eh?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I asked whether you
remember that there’s a stall nearby that we used to go for snack?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah…that stall…yes I
remember…”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I was thinking maybe
we can go grab a bite…since I haven’t eaten anything for dinner yet…”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo was about to
reject his idea but when she heard that he hasn’t taken his dinner, she finally
agreed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As they walked to the
stall that sells ddeokbokki, CEO Baek was chatting happily but Ji Hyo’s mind
was elsewhere. She kept thinking about Gary who is being ‘sad’ at home right
now, ‘recuperating’ his wound.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They were not foreign
to the place. The friendly ajumma that serves them recognize them easily.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh sajang-nim! Having
a date with Song Ji Hyo-ssi again?” The ajumma smiled warmly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh—y-yes….” CEO Baek
answered awkwardly. Ji Hyo too smiled and played along.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They ordered their
food and settled down at their seats. Soon their food is served and they
started eating.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“The food is getting
cold…Are you okay Ji Hyo-ah? Why do you look so uneasy?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her mind is all about
Kang Gary and she had no appetite to eat. She felt torn in between CEO Baek and
Gary. How she wished that she’s currently on the way to see him now but she
felt bad at leaving CEO Baek eating alone. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh? Ah yes, I’m fine…”
She gives a weak smile. “Maybe I’m tired…”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What time is your
schedule tomorrow?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I need to be at
filming set at 5am tomorrow…”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Shocked, he looks at
his own watch. It was almost 11pm. “Then you should quickly go back and rest!
You should have told me earlier!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I was afraid that you’re
going to skip your dinner if I haven’t agreed.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You shouldn’t have…although
I really appreciate your thoughts a lot. It’s okay, aren’t I eating now? You
should go back and rest.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa we will meet up one
day to have a lunch together.” She said with a smile while packing her stuff. “Then
I’ll go back and rest early…And sorry again…”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Do you need me to
fetch you?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh oppa, it’s okay. I’m
alright. I’ll call manager unnie to fetch me home.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh okay, then. You
better get going. I’ll see you soon.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo was about to
leave when suddenly he called her out.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ji Hyo-ah!”</div>

<u>Chapter 16<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo twitched lightly as she starts to feel the sun’s heat
on her face. She frowns and rubs her eyes, slowly opening them. She turned to
her left, to her surprised, she sees Gary resting his head against his elbow,
staring back at her with his ruffled hair and a sheepish smile. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Good morning, my pretty lady.” He said in a soft tone. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s morning already?” Ji Hyo sat up from the couch and
stretches her arms, a little shy from his intense staring. She runs her fingers
through her hair, trying to tame them down a little. “Oppa, how long have you
been watching me like that?” She said, still back-facing him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary sat up too, but quickly caught Ji Hyo around her waist
and back-hugs her. “Erm…maybe around half an hour?” He said, tightening his hug
around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo breaks into a smile, for his skinship. “Oppa, you
have been awake for so long but you didn’t wake me up? Instead you just lay there
and watches me sleeps?” She said in a heighten tone, a little disbelief. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Because you look so pretty while you sleep... Your
bare-Mong-face is just too beautiful…I-I…just can’t help it…” Gary said, half
mumbling with his eyes close. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Again, a smile spread across her face at Kang Gary’s
simplicity of expressing his emotions. Just like how well he expresses them
through his lyrics. Peering at his sleepy face, she reached her hands out and
gently touched his stubbly chin. “Oppa, no schedule today?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No, but I’m supposed to work on some songs…You?” He asked
in a hopeful tone, hoping today they can spend more time together. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Let me call manager unnie first.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo turn to her phone, which is just on the end table
beside the couch. She barely able to reach for it because she still restrained
by Gary’s back-hug.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Unnie, sorry to disturb so early in the morning…Do I have
any schedule for the day?....Oh Really? Ah gumawo unnie! And sorry for
disturbing you…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With that Ji Hyo hang up the phone and turned to Gary’s
sleepy face. She excitedly cupped his face with both of her hands and gently
shook him. “Oppa, I’ve nothing on today until this evening~”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hearing those words made Gary immediately wide awake.
“Really? Anything in particular you want to do today?” Gary sat up straight but
his hands are still around her waist. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Today? Let me think…” Ji Hyo relaxed her body against Gary,
closing the gap between them. “Actually, nothing in particular…As long you’re
here with me…” Ji Hyo said shyly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary smile broadly because he was very touched at how Ji Hyo
phrases her words. That’s right, when you’re with someone that you love, it’s
not about doing what together but it’s about spending time with each other
because time is the most precious things you can get from the another person. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“How about we cook some lunch, watch a DVD, and write some
songs together?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Again, Ji Hyo smiled proudly at how her namja-chingu plans
out the day; so simple yet so sweet in her eyes, so Kang Gary. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She nods her head, nothing to disagree about his plan for
the day. “But first, we have to do something important.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh?” Gary raised an eyebrow.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Morning kiss!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With that, Ji Hyo quickly plans a quick peck on his lips
before freeing herself from his hug. She then disappears behind the bathroom
door. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary was just left sitting alone at the couch, gently
touched his lips, grinning.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The lovebirds got themselves busy in the kitchen. Gary did
most of the cuttings, afraid that Ji Hyo would hurt herself while she did most
of the washing and cooking. They work coherently, just like how their good
teamwork in Running Man games.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After half an hour, with whatever there is in the fridge,
they were able to make ddukbokki soup and kimchi fried rice for their brunch.
It was a simple yet priceless meal because it was prepared with a lot of love
and sincerity. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They settle opposite each other, and dug into their meal
hungrily. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I don’t think I have eaten such a great meal before...”
Gary said with his mouth full. He chomped on the food satisfyingly with
happiness look all over his face. “I would die to have this kind of meal every
day after coming back from home.” Gary smiles as he observed Ji Hyo’s
expression of his statement. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo’s face spread into a smile. “Oppa I might not be that
free to cook for you.” She looks away arrogantly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s okay, I have more free time than you and so I’ll learn
more recipes from your mum and cook for your favourite food instead.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Instantly Ji Hyo’s face lit up. These kind of words are words
that she has never heard from Baek Chang Jo before. Although she is not sure
whether will Kang Gary ever fulfils them, hearing him saying those words
personally was enough to tell herself that she has made the right choice. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah, why are you staring into the space? Is there anything
wrong with the food?” Gary asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Nothing oppa, let’s just eat.” Ji Hyo took a piece of
ddukbokki and feeds Gary. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They finished their lunch, and they lazed around on the
couch watching a DVD together; ‘Breathless’. It was an old English romance film,
a film that Ji Hyo has wanted to watch all along but never had the time or the
partner to watch; Baek Chang Jo was always busy with his work. They sat on the
couch, with his arm around her shoulder. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa, do you know how much I’ve wanted to watch this? I
bought this long time ago, but never had the chance to watch it…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I am here right now isn’t it?” Gary said with a smile.
“Next time I will accompany you whenever I can.” With that, Ji Hyo snuggled
closer to Gary. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was only 2 in the evening when the movie ends. They had
nothing else to do so Gary decided to continue working on his song. They
settled down on the floor at the living room. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa, what do you usually think when you write songs?” Ji
Hyo ask while sitting beside him, chin resting on her palm.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Gary immediately let go of the pen in his hand and turn to her attentively. “I
think about my life experiences…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Your past love life experiences?” Ji Hyo said with hint of
jealousy. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Well, that’s the past. When I am happy, I write happy
songs. Like now, I am so blissful that I can only think about happy lyrics.”
Gary said, a little embarrassed from his own cheesy words.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What are you so blissful about?” Ji Hyo asked purposely
although she obviously knew the reasons why. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary smirked and scooted closer to Ji Hyo. He then rest his
head on her shoulder, closing his eyes. “Of course it’s because of you...Spending
time with you like this is really good…I wonder when the next time is…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Again, Ji Hyo smiles sweetly at how aegyo Gary is. She finds
herself smiling and laughing so much when she is with him. She reaches for his
hair and runs through them. “Oppa, I think you need to have hair cut soon…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Really?” Gary quickly sat up and fiddled with his
unorganized hair. “Well it’s been a while since I cut them… What kind of
hairstyle do you think it suits me?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You have to ask that to your stylist, not me…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“But your opinion matters to me the most right now…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo smiled at Gary’s word. “Well I think anything will
look good on you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ohyea are you going to work late today?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’m not sure oppa...Have to depend on the filming progress…
Why?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’ll come and fetch you later… Just let me know when you’re
done.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ooh… Kang Gary you have something up in your sleeves….” She
said with a suspicious looking eyes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary looked away as he’s really bad at lying. “Why? Is it
wrong for me to fetch my girlfriend home from work?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No, but I can see that you’re hiding something from me…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Anyway, no matter how late it is, just give me a call… I’ll
be there” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary waited patiently a distance away from her filming site.
He didn’t want to be seen by others. However it was already 2am by the time she
called. So, he looked around to see if there’s any paparazzi around them;
luckily as it was already very late, he spotted no one that is suspicious.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door. He turned and saw Ji Hyo knocking on the
window pane. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary wind down the window, “Ji Hyo-yah! Can you help me to
open the car boot? Help me to take my spare shoe from there.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo nodded and went to the back. She opened the car boot
and the scene that greeted her really surprised her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ff200f;"><b>‘</b></span><b><span style="color: #ff200f; font-family: "Bradley Hand ITC"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Happy 100 days, love.’<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was words arrange using stalks of roses. She bent down
and gently touched the flowers. She sniffs in to enjoy the rose scent. Gary then
got down from the car and approached her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Do you like it?” He gently hold her by her delicate hands,
holds them up to his mouth and softly kissed them. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Saranghaeyo, Song Ji Hyo.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo doesn’t know what to do to respond to Gary’s sweet
words. She just stood there smiling broadly like a little girl who just
received her Christmas gift. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah why are you so mong? Give me some reply…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa…I don’t know what to say… But this is so beautiful…”
Her eyes widened again, still in awe how pretty the flowers are.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh Ji Hyo why are you so cute?” Gary lightly pinched her
by her cheek. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa…don’t tease me anymore…” She gently push his hands
away and holds on them instead. “And oppa sorry because I have nothing for
you…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s okay because I have never expected anything from you…”
Gary smiled.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo stepped forward and hugged Gary by his neck. “Gumawo and….Saranghaeyo
Kang Gary...” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Arasso…let’s get in the car and talk okay? I’ll fetch you
home.” They both then got into the car. Soon after Gary stepped on the pedal
and sped off. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa, really thank you for the surprise…I was really tired
from work but your surprise cheered me up.” JiHyo said earnestly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Babo-yah…stop saying thank you... Most importantly you know
my heart…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They chatted along the way and finally they reached Ji Hyo’s
house. Gary got down and helped Ji Hyo with her door. He then rushed to the
back of the car and took out the whole carton of roses. He then followed behind
JiHyo and placed the box in the living room. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Really thank you oppa…” JiHyo stepped forward and kissed
him by his lips which made him smile. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s really late already… you better sleep early…” Gary
said caringly while stroking her soft hair. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Arasso oppa, I’ll be a good girl and sleep early…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“That’s good… So oppa will leave first so that you can have
a rest…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo nodded with her tired eyes. “Call me when you get
home. Take care while on the road… See you on Monday.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With that Gary left the house, leaving JiHyo standing there
admiring the roses. Her heart felt warm and cosy, so loved by this man from
Jamsil. Although he may looked pretty normal but she is proud to say that he’s
the most charming person in her eyes. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b><u>Chapter 15<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa! You tell the lamest joke~!” Ji Hyo laughed, barely
caught up in her breath. Her laugh was genuine, felt like all her worries are
at the back of the head, all forgotten at the moment. She clapped her hands
together with her laughter, suddenly the car became alive again.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Feeling better now?” A smile spread across Gary’s face.
He’s contended and glad that she’s smiling again. When Ji Hyo got into the car
earlier, her face is fuming red, really upset about something. He didn’t dare
to ask her but instead told her a joke. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo nodded with a smile. She reached out her hand and
linked them with his right hand that is not on the steering wheel. “Oppa you treat
me the best!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course, anything for my Mong Ji.” He said and patted her
head gently. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“But that movie producer is really making me angry! I know
he’s upset with the team but he shouldn’t be venting it out on everybody…” Ji
Hyo pouted and crossed her arms across her chest. “Oppa, I think I need some—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Soondae and soju?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo’s eyes widened as Gary completes her sentence.
Sometimes, she’s really surprised at how Gary understands her, even her food
likings. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa, are you sure you did not install a mind reader in my
brain?” She squint her eyes while looking at Gary. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary shook his head innocently and smile, “I just took extra
effort to understand you, babo.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Arasso…, Kang Gary is the best.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Suddenly his phone rang and he took them form the dashboard.
He saw the caller ID and quickly passed it to Ji Hyo as he can’t talk while
driving. Surprised, Ji Hyo just picked the phone up.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“GARY-HYUuunn— Oh, annyeonghaseyo…this is…?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa annyeong, this is Ji Hyo~”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ji Hyo? Song Ji Hyo? W-Why are you having Gary hyung’s
phone?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh it’s because…I-I am with Kang Gary right now…He’s
driving…” Ji Hyo answered with a smile while looking at Gary. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“WoOoOoo…” Haha sneered sarcastically. “Just nice, I am
having get together party over at my house today, please do come over if you’re
clear of schedules today. I’ve called the others too.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh party…?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Why? You had other plans with Gary hyung?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo took down the phone and covered up the mic.
“Haha-oppa is having party tonight. He’s inviting us to go.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Party? Nice!” Gary chirped. “Maybe it’s the time too…” He’s
voice trailed away in excitement.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ehh?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary shook and signalled her to agree to Haha’s invitation. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh oppa, we’re coming tonight…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“OKAAaaY! See you Monday Couple!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Haha seems really excited over phone which made Ji Hyo a
little nervous about the whole gathering. She doesn’t know what to expect from
it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ha Dong Hoon looked at the clock hung over at the wall. It
was already 8pm but Monday Couple has yet to appear. Other members have already
arrived and were eating delicious dinner prepared by Byul. Kwang Soo was about
to called Ji Hyo when suddenly the doorbell rang. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’ll go get it!” Kwang Soo quickly got up and reaches for
the door. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The door opened and the members in the house were greeted by
the scene; Gary holding some gift in his hand with Ji Hyo standing slightly
behind him. A little like newlywed groom and bride that just came back from
honeymoon.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh look who’s here!” Jae Suk exclaimed with his mouth
filled with rice. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Gary Hyung!” KwangSoo bowed lightly and briefly hugged each
other. “Ji Hyo-noona, annyeong!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
KwangSoo moved away to let the latecomers in. Gary walked
first, with Ji Hyo following closely behind. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh look at their way of coming in…” Suk Jin who’s the
oldest, has a way of seeing people. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hyung! What are you saying~?” Gary who’s face already red
from all the commotion, just sat down on the sofa. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa! The gift!” Ji Hyo quickly reminded. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh yea! Dong Hoon-yah! This is something for you and
jesu-ssi (wife of younger brother).” He reached out and passed the gift in his
hand to Byul.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh Gary-oppa! You guys shouldn’t have spent~! But anyway
thanks…” Byul received the gift with appreciative heart. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah the two of you….Something sneaky is going on here
right…?” Haha straight-forwardly asked. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa!” Byul quickly prevent her husband from making the
guest awkward when they have just arrived. “Ji Hyo unnie, Gary oppa please take
a seat!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They sat together, around the big round table in the living
room on the floor. They had samgyupsal with some spicy chicken broth prepared
by Byul. As they eat, other members can’t help but to pay attention to the two
latecomers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Have more meat.” Gary said gently as he put pieces of meat
on her plate. “Do you want more chicken?” Or kimchi?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah yah yah the two of you…Do you guys have something to
tell us?” Jong Kook asked while squinting his-already-very-small pair of eyes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Exactly! It’s too obvious now…noona.” Kwang Soo said with a
suspicious look. “Look at the sitting distance between you two.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary looked at Ji Hyo who’s looking all mong as usual for a
sign. He has always wanted to tell the members about the happy news but he
wasn’t sure if Ji Hyo is ready or okay for it. She stared back at him with a
smile starting to spread across her face. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Looking at all the pair of eyes that can’t take their eyes
off them, suddenly Ji Hyo picked up a piece of meat and brought it near Gary’s
mouth.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh oh oh?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Automatically, Gary opened his mouth and accepted that piece
of meat but with a mong face looking at Ji Hyo. He didn’t know what does that
mean. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Eyyy....” Kwang Soo responded with his usual unsatisfactory
expression.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What does that mean?” Ji Suk Jin frowned. “It’s not like
you guys have not fed each other before. This does not mean anything at all.”
Actually by this time, all the members already knew that they both have
officially become an item. But somehow they wanted them to show more affection
so they purposely acted like they don’t understand.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Seeing that Ji Hyo is ready to tell the others, Gary took
the initiative and holds her hand. He held her hand up high to show the others.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Holding hands is not a big deal, it’s not like you guys
haven’t hold before.” Haha said with a poker face. Byul who can’t withstand
their ‘acting’, kept laughing with her mouth covered. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As Gary cannot stand any longer at his members’ acting, he
just turn to Ji Hyo and in a flash, gave a quick peck on her delicate cheek. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah! Kang Gary!” Ji Hyo turned to him in horror. For a
spilt second, all the members were really shocked thinking that they had really
assumed the wrong thing. Even Gary was shocked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You didn’t wipe your mouth didn’t you?” Ji Hyo gently
touches her cheek. There are traces of samgyupsal’s smell. “Yah! Look at this!”
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her shocked expression made everyone in the house burst out
laughing. She wiped away the stain with her napkin with pouted lips. “Do it
next time when your mouth is clean.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her ending statement once again made everyone laugh. Hearing
this, suddenly Gary got hold of both of Ji Hyo’s shoulder and ‘forcefully’
wants to kiss her on her lips. With all her force, she pushed Gary away, making
a comedy right in front of everybody.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The dinner ended with more laughters and revelation of more
inside stories about how and when they began. Now finally the members feel
really happy about the ending of their ambiguous relationship but the starting
of a beautiful relationship. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">*<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Gary and Ji Hyo took a short walk around in the park near Ji Hyo’s house
after the dinner; of course hand in hand. As they about to walk back the rain
suddenly poured down very heavily. The merciless raindrops are accompanied by
series of frightening thunder. They rushed back to the house and finally got
in, half drenched.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Oppa, please sit for awhile. I’ll get you a towel.” Soon, Jihyo came
out of her room with a towel. She walked over to Gary and passed the towel to
him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Oppa, here you go. Wipe yourself dry otherwise you would get sick.” She
had one too, and started drying her own hair. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“You dry it for me?” Gary said with aegyo tone looking up at Ji Hyo with
puppy eyes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Ooo..Kang Gary since when you know how to do this?” Ji Hyo said with a
smile and took the towel from him. She made Gary sit in front of her and she
stood behind him. Gently she starts drying up her hair. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The scene was just too beautiful. He closed his eyes to enjoy the moment
as much as he could. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“You wanna stay here tonight?” Ji Hyo suddenly blurts out. “Since it’s
still raining so heavily.. I don’t think you can go back now. You’re gonna get
sick in the rain.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Gary looked out of the window and looked back at her, “Are you sure this
is alright?” Of course he would love to stay back but he’s more concern about
her reputation but since she’s the one who suggested, he agreed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">*<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Ji Hyo laid down comfortable on the head of her bed while Gary settled
down on the white sofa that is situated by her bed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“Oppa, are you sleeping already?” Ji Hyo asked suddenly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Gary who has his hand put behind his head, sat up and look at Ji Hyo
who’s lying on her bed. “Why? Can’t sleep?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“It’s cold today…” Ji Hyo frowned while looking out of the window. The
rain is still pouring, raining like there’s no tomorrow. Gary patted gently the
seat beside him and Ji Hyo automatically crawled out of her bed and snuggled
herself beside Gary.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Gary put his arm around her shoulder and hugged her tightly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The night felt long as they softly talked about their childhood, their
hobbies, their favourite songs and many more. As they talked, Gary felt the he
know Ji Hyo and understand her better. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">“How I wished that we could stay like this forever.” Gary said softly as
he gently pecked the top of Ji Hyo’s head. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Ji Hyo breaks into a smile as she hears Gary’s word, confessing in a
cute way. She reached out his hand and pinched his cheek gently. She nudged
closer to Gary, eventually laying her head on his chest, with their hands holding.
As they talked, they soon fall asleep on the couch, in the cold night together in each other's embrace. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

“Today’s filming concept is the Babo Ondal and Princesses. Our
guest today would be Noh Sa Yeon-ssi and Uee-ssi and everybody would be divided
to three groups of three…” Myuk PD explained. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo listened attentively while getting her final make up
touch up for the filming. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“If I can ask….” Myuk PD hesitated. “Song Ji Hyo-ssi, are
you still concern about being in the team with Gary-ssi? You know you are
always our concern, if anywhere that makes you uncomfortable we—” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh not at all! I’ll be in the same team with him.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Really? I was concern because last week you’ve specially
made a request—“<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah….” Ji Hyo quickly stood up from her seat and bowed
apologetically. “I’m sorry PD-nim for making such a fuss…It won’t happen in the
future…I promise you—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh no don’t be... However, if anytime during the filming Monday
Couple label makes you feel uncomfortable, you can always let me know…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo just smiled and nodded. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“So we’ll do the opening with Uee-ssi and Noh Sa Yeon-ssi
appearing as guest. The three of you would be the princesses while the other
members would be the ondal. You’ll be in the same group as Gary-ssi and
Haha-ssi. Is it okay with you?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Okay…I got it.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After being debrief as the only girl member of the group, Ji
Hyo went with her stylist to begin preparing for the day’s filming; disguising
as the princess. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ji Hyo-ssi, it seems that you’re behaving a bit different
these days…You seem more radiant… ” Her stylist said with a sly smile.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Did I?” Ji Hyo look away trying not to reveal anything.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You seem happier…Are you…?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Do I hear wedding bells ringing?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo’s eyes widened and she vigorously shook her head. “No!
Unnie what are you thinking?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No other outsiders else knew about her break up with Baek
Chang Jo; only her mum and Gary. Suddenly her phone beeped with an incoming
message.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh I bet that’s namja-chingu…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo shook her stylist off as she reach out for her phone
on the dressing table. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A smile immediately spread across Ji Hyo’s face after seeing
the message. It was immediately seen by her stylist and walk over to her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Are you sure something is not happening? Look at you!” Her
stylist joked around while pointing on her puffed up smiley cheeks. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hyung! You’re looking really stupid right now!” Haha sneered
loudly, looking at Jae Suk’s disguise who’s standing beside the more-idiotic
looking Kwang Soo.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You think you look any better?” Jae Suk retorted. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hyung, I don’t think anyone can beat that look.” Kwang Soo
said suddenly, pointing to Gary’s who’s typing on his phone. Both Jae Suk and
Haha turn to where Kwang Soo pointed. Gary has a wig on and his shirts tugged into
high-waist navy blue coloured pants, smiling foolishly at his phone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“That is a typical swooning in love look.” Haha just
concluded almost immediately. “You don’t look like that when you message with
your friends and family.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hearing that, Kim Jong Kook just walked over and headlock
Gary, caught him by surprise. “Yah hyung! You’ve scared me!” Gary whined.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Are you hiding something from us? Are you dating someone?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh hyung let me go first okay? Then I’ll tell.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Immediately, Jong Kook let him off and adjusts Gary’s
attire. “That’s more like it….Quick spit it out…Are you dating—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ji Hyo noona!” Kwang Soo shouted from across the room when
Ji Hyo suddenly entered the room.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Annyeonghaseyo! Oh you guys—Omg you guys are so hilarious~!”
Ji Hyo can’t stop keep her mouth close looking at the other male members’
bizarre outfit. “Totally babo ondal…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah Ji Hyo-ah, are you that happy to see us in this state?”
Jae Suk chided, trying to withhold this last bit of pride in that disguise.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa why don’t you just complained to PD-nim?” The
Candy-Alliance siblings just can’t stop bickering. “But I think it actually
suits you more like this…There’s more visual effect…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Noona who do you think look most decent here?” Kwang Soo
casually asked. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course it’s our Gary oppa!” Ji Hyo answered almost
immediately. She closed her mouth right after the felt that she has said the
wrong word.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“YOUR Gary?!” Everybody other than Gary exclaimed in unison.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I smell something fishy going on….” Haha sneered as he look
at the flustered Ji Hyo. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No there’s nothing—” Gary tried to explain but Myeok PD
came into the room and interrupted. “All right, I’m gonna explain a little
about today’s game..”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They went over to the Americna restaurant and the mission
over there surprised them. It was the Pepero Stick game aka the cookies kissing
game. It felt it was fated for him to choose this venue for the mission.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary’s mind went wild when he starts thinking about playing
the game later with Ji Hyo, when they yet had their first kiss together. He
never expect himself to be playing this game with Ji Hyo after they officially
becomes a couple. Worst of all, whatever happens later it’s gonna be
broadcasted on the screen so he has to control himself well.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As he watches Uee and Kwang Soo play the game with
nervously, he can’t wait for Ji Hyo to get here. He fished out his phone and typed
quickly into them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
‘Ji Hyo-ah, we are
doing something daebak later <span lang="KO" style="font-family: "Batang","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: KO; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">ㅋㅋㅋ</span><span lang="KO"> </span>’ – Gary

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When Ji Hyo finally arrives, the scene that greets her shocks
her. Jong Kook is holding Sa Yeon’s head in a tilting position with their heads
going closer to each other. “What is this?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She quickly took a peek at Gary and he was sitting there
smiling broadly at him. As she settle down beside him, Gary lean closer and
whispered, “We have to do this later, not more than 1.5cm can be left.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo responds with a widen eyes but in her heart she was
more nervous than anybody else. Ever since they got together as a couple, their
level of skinship has only reached holding hands and hugging. Their lips have
yet to touch each other’s.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As Monday Couple wait nervously for their turn, Gary slides
his hand over hers hidden from the camera. He squeezed them lightly, “Let’s
just enjoy the game.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Finally their name is being called up. Exciting and nervous
at the same time, both stood up and walked to the centre where all can see
them. All eyes were on them, the members and the staff were so eager to watch
them play. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Challenge!” Monday couple shouted in unison. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary looked at Ji Hyo who was biting at the pepero sticks,
looking very cute. His heart suddenly beat faster feeling flush of redness on
his face. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Since I am gonna do it…” Gary could only finish his
sentence with a shy smile and a red face. Everyone on the set starts to laugh
at how nervous Gary is. The more he behaved like that, the more suspicious the
members felt about Monday Couple.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After much hassle, they finally start the game. As Gary
leaned in, Ji Hyo could feel the warmth coming out from his breathe. Initially
Ji Hyo look away, but eventually she closed her eyes. Slowly, she tilts her
head to prevent their nose from knocking.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Suddenly she felt two hands grabbing on both her side of her
head. In that microsecond, she could feel electric shock travels throughout her
body, almost paralysing her. She jumped away in shock from the overwhelming
sensation that causes laughter among the staff and members.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah oppa you’ve frightened me!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eventually they failed on the first attempt. It made Gary
sulked a little because he never knew that Ji Hyo would react that much. However
on the second attempt, they became more comfortable with each other and finally
they succeeded. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The filming continues with more challenges for the ondals.
Ji Hyo and Gary had the perfect chemistry together, for winning the mission in
the Thai restaurant and also winning against Uee during the name tag ripping
game. It was really exhausted but everybody enjoyed the filming process.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Filming has finally come to an end for the day. Uee chose
Kwang Soo as the final winner by putting the ring on his pinkie-finger. Kwang
Soo was exceptionally happy for able to win over Jae Suk after being ‘objected’
by Jae Suk about getting to know Uee better throughout the filming. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The members bided goodbye to each other and soon disperse
away. Gary caught up at Ji Hyo and said gently. “I’ll fetch you home from the
alley behind your company.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo just nodded. It has always been arranged that way.
Gary can’t show his affection too openly on the outside, afraid that it will
bring harm to Ji Hyo. Not even the members, he doesn’t intend to let them know until
things are stable between the two.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As Ji Hyo waits alone, suddenly a car turn into the back
alley and stopped right in front of her. Recognizing the car in the dark, she
entered the car immediately. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa what took you so long?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“This.” Gary brought up a hot cup of Americano and put into
her hands. “Today you’ve been answering the quiz in the water, this is to warm
you up.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Awww….gumawo oppa...” Ji Hyo quickly took a sip. “But oppa
you are totally wet and drenched during the game too, don’t you want some?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“The pepero game was enough to keep me warm and fuzzy inside.”
A chuckle escaped from Gary’s mouth.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa! You’re making me embarrassed now.” Ji Hyo gently hit
Gary by the shoulder. He just did a meh-rong (tongue sticking out :p) and
stepped on the gas.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Should we….play the game again?” He said suddenly while
checking up on her expression. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What is it?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Nothing…I said how the coffee…was” Gary looked away,
concentrating back to the road.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo knew what he was going to say and chuckled softly at
his coward side. “Oppa are we going home?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Where else do you want to go?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Let’s go Hangang again.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“But the weather is so chilly. You’re gonna get cold.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s okay because I have Kang Gary with me.” A sweet smile
spread across Ji Hyo’s face. She then placed her hand on Gary’s lap.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahhh…the weather is so nice…” Ji Hyo breathes in the cold
air of Hangang while overlooking to the night scenery. It was almost midnight
and they found a quiet spot just for the two of them. Grabbing Gary’s hand, she
tightens his grip around her waist and snuggles closer against his body, zeroing
gap between them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You’re really enjoying this huh?” Gary said casually,
almost in the whispering tone towards her ear.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course…how I wish days like this never end…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Today while you’re in that princess suit, you really look
like a real princess…so pretty.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Really? Why didn’t I hear that compliment earlier?” Ji Hyo
joked around while still being back-hugged by Gary.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Because there’s too many people around…I might just leaked
out our secret…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa you don’t mind this right? For us being so secretive…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course I don’t, as long as you’re here with me…” Gary
leaned in and wanted to give Ji Hyo a peck on the cheek but he was obstructed
by the front of his cap and hit on her head.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Aish jja jang na!” Gary pouted. “Maybe I should stop
wearing cap when I see you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Laughing out loud, Ji Hyo helped Gary to turn the cap over
to other direction and straight away leaned in and kissed him on the lips. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I love you Kang Gary.” Ji Hyo said her piece and turn away,
once again snuggling into Gary’s embrace. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
And there, Kang Gary just stood there smiling like an idiot
after being kissed by Ji Hyo. That was their first kiss, by the Hangang river. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<b><u>Chapter 13<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary looked at his watch and checked the time; it was
already 1 am when he reached outside her house. He looked himself for the last
time through the side mirror and adjusted his cap a bit.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He has meet with her outside for so many times, but this is
the first time he’s feeling so nervous. She asked to meet him, but he doesn’t
know what she wants to talk about.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From afar, he saw her coming out of her house wearing her
usual dark coloured attire and her black sunglasses. She pulled her cap low
before entering Gary’s car.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once she settled down beside him on the passenger seat Ji
Hyo said without looking at him. “Let’s go oppa.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“W-Where are we going?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Anywhere that’s quiet.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Obediently, Gary just followed along Ji Hyo’s request and drove
the car away. As he drives, the car atmosphere was really quiet. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“JI Hyo-ah, you are scaring oppa…What happened?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overly concerned, Gary reached out his free right hand and
hold onto Ji Hyo’s left hand which is placed on her lap. Her heart skipped a
beat as she looks away out to the window. She didn’t know what to do but her
hands remained there, being held by Gary.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa…” She uttered slowly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Feeling the urgency of the matter, Gary just abruptly
stopped the car by the road. He turned to her and made her turn to him. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Shocked, she just kept looking down. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Wae…? Ji Hyo-ah, you’re scaring oppa…What happened? Did he
came and look for you again? Did he find trouble at you? Did he sack you? Are
you withdrawing out of Running Man?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary’s trains of question showed how worried he is for Ji
Hyo. CEO Baek has always been a concern for him because he’s always worried
about her status in the company after their break up. Every week he always
thank the God when he sees Ji Hyo appear on the set for filming. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No oppa..it’s not about him…It’s about me..”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary just kept quiet for Ji Hyo to finish her words.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“There’s someone that I like.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Both walked slowly along Hangang River that flows through
Seoul. The cool wind from the river, the quiet surrounding, and beautiful lightings
from the big buildings on the background made it the perfect place for the duo
to talk.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They stopped by one of the bench and sat down. Looking
around empty park, both took off their sunglasses. Ji Hyo also took away the
scarf that envelope around her neck.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary just looks out to the river with empty mind. He didn’t
know what to say. He was just bombarded by Ji Hyo’s sudden confession that she
likes someone else during the car trip. His heart has crushed to a million
pieces that he barely had energy to talk. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>‘Although I might not
be able to hold your hands and walk, at least I’ll be able to stay by your side
and be there for you always…’<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He keeps brainwashing himself with those words. Please get
it into your head Kang Gary.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa…” Ji Hyo suddenly blurt out. “I like someone, but…I
don’t know am I supposed to tell the person.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh…Why not?” Gary replied softly, as neutral as he can be.
He didn’t want to sound so obviously disappointed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Because I am a girl. Shouldn’t be guy be more initiative?”
Ji Hyo said with a frown while looking at Gary intensely.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary felt guilt stricken and quickly look away. “Erm…well I
guess so…But maybe the guy is afraid…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Afraid?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Afraid of rejection…Afraid that if he ever confessed…they
can’t even be friends.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“How do you know if you’ve never tried?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary just kept his head low. What Ji Hyo said was right too.
Suddenly he felt like a coward who only drills hole to escape from the problem.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Well maybe the guy had tried…” He tried to salvage the
situation. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Did the guy ever made it clear? Or did he just give unclear
signs that made the girl confused too?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At this point, Ji Hyo was a little agitated. “Whatever, I
don’t want to regret. So I am gonna confessed now to this person.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Now? How? You want to call the person? D-Do you want me to
leave?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary didn’t want to be on the scene. He didn’t want to
witness how Ji Hyo confessed to someone that she likes in front of him. It felt
like pouring a ton of salt on an open wound. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh okay…as you wish…” Ji Hyo took out her phone swiftly
pressed one the buttons from her favourite list. “I’m calling now…” Ji Hyo
heaved out a big sigh, and pressed the green button.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He stood up and walks away when suddenly his phone rang
loudly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Surprised, Gary turns and looks at the seated Ji Hyo that
was holding the phone on her left ear, her lips curving up to a smile.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>…</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
D-Did he hear it wrongly?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, it could be anybody…don’t jump into conclusion…and
misunderstood.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He checked his watch; it’s almost 2 in the morning. Nobody
would really be calling at this hour.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary looked at Ji Hyo’s face that was beginning to turn red
from embarrassment. She looked at pocket where Gary’s phone is ringing loudly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Raising her voice a little because Gary is few metres away, “Aren’t
you picking up?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Still fixing his gaze at Ji Hyo, slowly his hand reached for
his phone. Briefly he took a quick glance at the caller ID. His heart literally
stops.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
[Time: 1.44 am “Ji Hyo calling…”]<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>……</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His world seems to have stopped spinning for the moment. Gary
was stunned and startled for the moment because he could not believe what was
happening…Did Ji Hyo just confessed to him? Or is she making fun at him? His
mind is totally in a confused stage.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“M-Me?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahhhh ottoke!!” Ji Hyo put away her phone and buried her
face in her palm. Her face was totally red from what was happening.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary just stood there like an idiot. He didn’t know what to
do or what to say. Their surrounding was really quiet, only sound of the cold
breeze hitting on the trees and Ji Hyo stomping the floor like a little kid
could be heard.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Slowly, he walk back
to the bench and sat down. He scooted closer to Ji Hyo. He reached for her hand
that is covering her face and took them, holding them tightly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“J-Ji Hyo-ah…are you serious? Are you for real?” He finally
spoke. “You’re not making fun of me right?” Gary thought that he had every
reason to doubt Ji Hyo. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah Kang Gary! People just confessed to you and you’re
asking me this??”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo is really embarrassed that she feels like punching
him. She tries to hit Gary’s chest but he was holding so tightly that she
barely able to move.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Moments later, Gary let go of his hand and then hugs her by
her waist instead. He hugs her so tightly till there was no gap between them.
Ji Hyo was a little startled that she was froze for a little while. Soon the
warmth builds upon her and she relaxes and reciprocates his hug.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gently she rested her chin on his shoulder and closes her
eyes to enjoy the moment. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Do you know how long I’ve waited to hear this?” Gary said,
almost in teary-voice. <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Batang","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>From now onwards, I don’t
want just to be the happiest man on Earth on Monday only. I want to be the
happiest man on Earth every day.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ever since he set her eyes on her on the first time she came
as a guest for Ep8 of Running Man, he secretly had a crush on her but always remain
neutral on the outside. But now at the moment, hearing that Ji Hyo actually
feels the same way like he does, was like something that he never expect to
hear it in his life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo breaks into a smile because with that reply, she has
got the answer that she wishes to hear too.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary breaks off the hug and gently holds her by her bare
face. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’m not dreaming, am I?” Gary said softly, almost
whispering. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo almost burst out laughing hearing the statement from
him. She reached out her hand, using a little force to pinch him on his cheek.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ooouch!” Quickly Gary soothed his reddened cheek.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You’re not dreaming…” Ji Hyo let out a small laugh.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Still soothing his cheek, Gary asked casually, “Are you sure
it’s Kang Gary, me…? I didn’t misunderstand this whole thing in the wrong way
right?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes, it’s you Kang Gary from Jamsil because you’re the
answer to a girl like me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When they walked back to the car, it was already 5.30 in the
morning. They came to the river as good friends and colleagues, but they walk
back as an official couple with their fingers are interlocking with each
other’s; fairly tightly with smiles brimming in their faces. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’ll send you home.” Gary said as he open the car door for
Ji Hyo. Ji Hyo let out a sweet smile.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During the car ride, Gary kept looking out for Ji Hyo. She
too, kept looking out for him which made them both break into laughter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Why, why are you laughing?” Gary asked. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Then oppa why are you laughing?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Because I’m happy. I can’t believe that this is happening…to
us…” Once said, Gary breaks into happiness kind of laughter, barely able to
contain it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“Without any signs, without
any concern, you just appeared in my world, giving me happiness and warmth that
I have always yearned for.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was already 7 am when he reached home. He didn’t go back
immediately after they reach her house. They talked a bit because they didn’t
bear to be apart so soon.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once in his living room, he swiftly took out his phone and
called Ji Hyo. The call went through and the caller ringtone caught him by
surprise. He still remember clearly just last week when he called her, it was
JYJ’s “In Heaven” played in the background but now it was a Leessang’s song.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“The girl that can’t
break up the guy that can’t leave”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He was stunned and speechless. Speechless because of
happiness. Happiness that overflowed from his body that he can’t stop smiling. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yeoboseyo” Ji Hyo’s soft voice called out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ji Hyo-ah, oppa is home…” Gary called because it was Ji Hyo’s
request to give her call once he’s safely home.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh…arasso.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You change….”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Change?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Your caller ringtone. I remember it was JYJ’s song’s some
days ago.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You’ve heard?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course….” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What to do…when you’re my namja-chingu (boyfriend)…Of
course I must support your song…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary literally could feel his heart racing and heart burning
from excitement. “Ji Hyo-ah, oppa will see you for filming later alright?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Arasso…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With that, Ji Hyo hang up the call. Thinking back, she felt
a little embarrassed that she’s the one that took the first step being a girl.
But she’s still glad that she has taken the step, a step that she won’t be
regretting for now at least. She’ll remember this day, March 5th as an
important day, the day that she confessed. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Today we’ll be filming with two guests, starting from
various locations. One guest is a legendary actor and another one is a rising
international star. We’ll start the filming with a game first only then they’ll
join the filming for rest of the day. So now I’ll let you guys know the team
first…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘<i>Please let me be with
Ji Hyo, please, please, please…’</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Haha-ssi, Ji
Suk-jin-ssi and Lee Kwang-soo-ssi in a team...”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>‘Yes! Please let Ji

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>‘Andwaeee (Nooo)…!!’<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“And finally Jae Suk-ssi, Song Ji Hyo-ssi and our honorary
guest would be in a team…Jae Suk-ssi we’ll depend on you then in leading the
guest…He might need a lot of guidance…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘<i>Thank you PD-nim….I
owe you one…’<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The small brief meeting ended and the members are quickly
chauffeured to their respective starting locations. Before Gary could approach
Ji Hyo for a small chat, she has already left with her VJ. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He was really excited to see her for filming today because
he can’t get through her call yesterday. All he received was a short message
from her saying that she’s busy filming and cannot be disturbed at the moment.
But now his hope is crushed because he’s not in the same team with her; means
he can only spent minimum time with her during lunch break.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Sit next to your boyfriend, next to your Monday Boyfriend.”
Jae Suk teased the moment Ji Hyo gathered with the other members. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hearing that, Gary had a hard time containing his happiness.
He has always been appreciative at how the other members mention about Monday
Couple which not only give him and Ji Hyo some extra airtime, but also a chance
for Ji Hyo to look at him and give comments about their Monday Couple jokes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Seeing that there’s no other place in the other table, Ji
Hyo had no choice but to sit at the same table beside Gary.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ji Hyo-ah, look at Gary’s cap.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She turned and saw the word ‘KISS’ on his cap which
immediately understood why Jae Suk asked her to see that. She can feel that Jae
Suk is trying really hard to match them, not only as Monday Couple in Running
Man but also as a real life couple. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What is that, KISS??” Ji Hyo retorted with a frown.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Kay-I-A-Seu-A-Seu…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo watched Gary dumbly spelled out KISS in Kang Gary
way, Ji Hyo unknowingly smiled and repeats after him. Sometimes, she can’t deny
that sometimes whatever Kang Gary does, makes her smile in some way. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>‘Aish, Song Ji Hyo
come to your senses!’ </i>Ji Hyo scolded herself mentally.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The honorary guest of the day was international star Jackie
Chan (Ep 135) and Choi Siwon. All the members were having a good time during
the opening speech when Jae Suk requested everyone to say something to Jackie
as a once in a life time chance.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Phone number…” Haha struggled while trying to get his
number from Jackie.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘My phone number…only for girls...” Jackie Chan turn to Ji
Hyo which made everyone on the set laughed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Aniyo….this girl no, cannot…” Gary replied back almost
immediately.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The ‘protective’ act of the Monday Boyfriend was really
quick-witted and it made everyone laughed more. Ji Hyo can only laugh along,
but she is getting more and more confused on the inside.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The incident that night in Macau not only made Ji Hyo a
little upset but has made her spent her time thinking about the complicated
relationship she’s experiencing right now. She is really comfortable around
Gary and really enjoys his company almost every time. She loves it when Gary
took extra care of her during filming, saying cheesy stuff increase her airtime
but also made her laugh, when he came over to eat dinner with her mother and
all the miscellaneous stuff that he does for her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not forgetting the little things he does sometimes that
makes her upset. She still remembers the time when Gary got right arm tattoo.
He came to the set with the huge tattoo on his arm which still looks a bit
swollen that makes her frowns so much because it looks painful to her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However thinking back, sometimes you feel annoyed because of
what some people do is because you really care for that person. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She can’t deny that she has good impression of him but it
makes her wonder again that is it because she has been spending so much time
with him, which she feels attached and thinks that she likes him? Or does she treat
him like an older brother? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It has been three years they’ve known each other but Gary
never said or has mentioned anything about their ambiguous relationship. Of
course she has experience love before but with Gary, she’s so unsure about her
own feeling because from the start, they got close because of the ‘Monday
Couple’ tag on them; the virtual relationship where Korea is very famous of. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Feeling the wrong way can really lead to something
disastrous, so she’s giving herself some space to think. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So for the moment, she has decided to test her own feelings
by avoiding him, spending least time with him. If her feelings for him start to
fade away because of the cooling off period, means she’s not in love with him
but just a temporary rush of adrenaline.<o:p></o:p></div>

During lunch break, Gary came with his manager with a dozens
of bottles of Glaceau Vitamin Water for all the staff to enjoy. As he helps to
distribute the bottles to everyone on set, only Ji Hyo didn’t get the bottle.
Instead, she got a special cup of iced Americano from Gary.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jackie Chan who’s sitting beside Ji Hyo was amused at how Ji
Hyo gets the special treatment from Gary. “You two...couple?” He asked
curiously.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jae Suk almost burst out laughing seeing how sharp Jackie’s
eyes can be. “Ah yes Jackie hyung…they are the famous Monday Couple…” He said
while standing up and pats Gary’s on the back. “He’s a good Monday Boyfriend…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Am I right, Song Ji Hyo?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo just nodded her head blankly, going with the flow.
Her mind is as mong as ever, just feeling appreciative of the cup of iced
Americano in front of her at the moment. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Seeing how Ji Hyo just briefly smiled at him and a soft
‘thank you’, it makes Gary upset again. Usually she’ll be really excited over
the cup of Americano. That’s how simple Song Ji Hyo is, sometimes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As he walk away to
distribute the rest of the drinks, he took the last peek of her and saw her
chatting away happily with Jae Suk and Jackie Chan. He hasn’t been able to
engage in a decent conversation with her since the filming in Macau and now
seeing her coldness, his heart sunk from there.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>‘Maybe I’m heading the
wrong way’<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>‘Maybe I should just
stay where I am, because it felt like the more forward I go, you’ll go further
back. So just stay where you are and I’ll be really grateful. Although I might
not be able to hold your hands and walk, at least I’ll be able to stay by your
side and be there for you always…’<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary came back from the filming that day that kind of
decision. He felt that there’s no point in confessing seeing Ji Hyo’s reaction
when he got closer and closer. He does not want that. He wants her to be
comfortable around her and he too can sometimes jokes around and be there for
always not as a boyfriend but as an oppa.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It has been a week after the special episode with Jackie
Chan. Neither calls nor message came in from him. Weird enough, Ji Hyo has been
checking out her phone a few times a day just to see whether he called or not.
Never once CEO Baek made her feel this way. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At some point she felt really selfish, because she’s the one
who kept a distance between herself and Gary, at the same time, she hope that
he’ll step forward and be more initiative and be more daring.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo just finished the advertisement photo-shoot. The makeup
artist helps Ji Hyo to remove her makeup with her manager sitting beside her.
Ji Hyo just stare blankly into the space, making her manager a little worried. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ji Hyo-ah, I’ve seen that you’re always in your own
world…worrying about anything?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Eh?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You see, you don’t even hear my talking to you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“N-Nothing…I’m just thinking about stuff….”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Stuff…?” Manager unnie raised her eyebrow.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Unnie, let me ask you…it’s a problem of me— my relative’s
friends…She think that this guy likes her…but he doesn’t show any actions, so
the girl kept a distance to test herself and also the guy. And the guy really
stayed away! But now the girl miss him…So what do you think the girl should do
next?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Such a complicated problem your friend has there…” Manager
unnie said with a frown. “Are you sure your friend consult you this? Or is it
your own problem…?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s my relative’s friend. Someone that I know…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh okay…I would say…in this generation there’s nothing
wrong for girls to be initiative sometimes…Maybe the girl should ask the guy
out.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ask the guy out?!” Ji Hyo asked in a shock.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Why not? The girl has to give some hint to the poor guy so
that he knows that his confession is gonna be something fruitful…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Isn’t this similar to confession?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Well, I don’t see that as a confession….It’s a just a
gentle reminder I’ll say.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Really? Is this the best solution?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Well I think if the girl doesn’t do anything, the guy would
continue to keep a distance and eventually the two will become strangers…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No! That’s can’t be happening!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo’s manager unnie almost jumped out of her seat seeing
Ji Hyo’s great reaction. “Calm down…it’s not even your problem…Why should you—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Because the girl really likes him—!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo paused for a moment. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
..<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
….<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Did she just admit to herself that she likes Kang Hee Geun?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh…I see…” Manager unnie tried to maintain her expression
while observing Ji Hyo’s reaction. Seeing that, her manager is kind of 99.99%
sure that Ji Hyo is talking on behalf of herself. “Well, then don’t hesitate
anymore. Just ask him out.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sitting at his house balcony, Gary lit up one cigarette and
take in one deep puff of smoke. His mind is far away, lost in the bustling busy
night of Seoul City. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His mind hasn’t been right these days. He hasn’t been
himself. His facial hair has not been taken care of and his house is in a mess;
cans of beer and unwashed clothes are everywhere. It’s as messy as you can
imagine. He hasn’t produced any music for some time too because his mind is all
about Ji Hyo only. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At some point he’s surprised at how Ji Hyo really influenced
his life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As he was about to take in the second puff of his third
cigarette of the day, his phone rang loudly from the living room. Thinking it
was Gil, he slowly took his time to get the phone. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>[Time: 12.22am “Ji Hyo calling…”]</b></span></blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Seeing the caller’s ID name, he quickly extinguishes the
cigarette in his hand and quickly picks up his phone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh Ji Hyo-yah…”<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Gary hyung!” Haha
called out after all the members dispersed from the dinner. “Kwang Soo and I
are going to visit the hotel’s lounge to have a drink or two… Hyung wanna come
along?” He said excitedly. It has been a while the guys spent some fun time
together. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s okay you guys just
go ahead~” Gary’s voice trailed off as he looks away; looking out for that
someone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hyung but it’s rare
that we come to Macau, shouldn’t we go out and enjoy ourselves a bit?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s okay..I am
feeling a little tired today from the filming today… I want to rest early…”
Gary said as he massages his neck and put on a ‘tired’ face.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Seeing the really
‘tired’ Gary, Haha had no choice but not to bug him anymore. He walk away
leaving Gary standing there looking for Ji Hyo. Gary saw Ji Hyo talking
heartily to Suk Jin and Jae Suk making him sulks even more. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>‘Aish maybe I should be alone for now…’<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just then as he walked
away, somebody grabbed him by his arms and as expected it was none other than
Ji Hyo. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa! What’s wrong
with you today?” JI Hyo looks at him with bright no make up eyes. “You seem to
be out of yourselves…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Am I?” Usually if Ji
Hyo were to grab him by this way, he would be over elated. But he was cold and
calm. “Nah maybe I am just tired. It’s okay, I’ll just go back to my room and
rest for a while. See you tomorrow.” He gently removed his arm from Ji Hyo’s
hand and walked towards the elevator. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo just stood
there, she was a little stunned from Gary’s reaction. He has never reacted like
this around her before. He’s always very excited to talk to her but today she
felt that he’s being a little too cold on the outside and it makes her pout. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She shouts for him for
the last time, but the elevator door has already closed. A little upset with
the whole incident, Ji Hyo walked away to look for Haha and Kwang Soo whom she
heard that they are going to the lounge. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary just got
family-zoned from Ji Hyo that morning and nothing really can lift his mood up
at the moment; even Ji Hyo herself. As he was about to lie down on his bed in
his hotel room at Level 8, there was a knock on the door.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Who is it?” He asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s me, Jae Suk
hyung.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh?” Surprised for
the sudden visit, he quickly got up and reaches for the door. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hyung….please do come
in~~” Gary invited him in and sat opposite Jae Suk whom was sitting at the edge
of the bed. “What’s the matter, hyung?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I have been observing
you the whole day.. You seem a little out today... Is everything alright?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Me? What’s wrong with
me?” Gary put on a poker face.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Eyy I have not known
you for a day or two…I can tell if something is bothering you…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“There’s n-nothing…really…Or
maybe I’m just tired.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hyung is not trying
to be busybody…but is it about Ji Hyo?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary’s eyes widen at
Jae Suk’s word. Did he make it so obvious that Jae Suk hyung was able to guess
it at the first try? His nervous look gave him away immediately.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“As expected, I am
right!” Jae Suk exclaimed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“N-no it’s n-not—“<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You can’t deny it, it’s
written all over your face. I know you Gary, if there are things bothering you
because of albums or songs; you don’t bring them to Running Man, unless the
source of the problem is Running Man itself…” Jae Suk gentle words just made
Gary kept quiet. After all, he’s Yoo Jae Suk, whose famous being a very caring
sunbae in the industry. Nothing can really escape his eyes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jae Suk stood up and
reaches forward to pat Gary on his back.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hyung, I can’t help it…I just can’t help but to be moody…”
Gary sighed as Jae Suk sat beside him. “She said that she sees me as a family
member only…I can’t accept that…Because I don’t want to be her oppa, I want to be
her namja-chingu…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Gary-ah, let’s think this way. Think back the times where
she got further away from you and compared to now. Isn’t it good that you get
to spend more times with her?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary thought about his words and ponders over it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“But tell me honestly, have you really confessed to her?
That you like her?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Shyly, Gary scratches the back of his hair and readjusted
his Leessang cap. “Aniyo~”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Exactly! Why are you pouting? It’s not like she rejected
you!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jae Suk’s word struck him. It’s true that he hasn’t really talked
about his heart; about how he feels about her. He always hovers around her,
caring for her at anyway he could but without confessing even if Ji Hyo feels
the same, their relationship won’t advance to another stage. Suddenly he feels
like an idiot himself; someone who complain about not getting something when he
did not make an effort in getting it at all. Worst of all, he didn’t know that his
emotion has affected many, especially Ji Hyo.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You get what hyung meant? Just be brave for once.” With
that Jae Suk gave him a final ‘push’ on his back and stood up. “I’ll see you
for tomorrow’s filming. Rest well. I’ll leave now.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary became more determined after Jae Suk’s advice. No
matter the outcome, he doesn’t want to be a sacredly cat anymore. He doesn’t
want any regret in his life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With a determined heart, Gary goes to sleep before the new
day starts. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Noona!” Kwang Soo tried to hold back Ji Hyo’s hand who‘s on
her fourth glass on wine. “You’ve got filming tomorrow…You’re not supposed to
drink so much!” Kwang Soo raised his voice a little in the noisy lounge.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah Lee Kwang Soo take away your hand…The wine is spilling!”
The annoyed Ji Hyo angrily vented her frustration on the innocent Kwang Soo.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Surprised at her reaction, Kwang Soo let go of his hand. Ji
Hyo eargerly put the glass of wine on the table with a loud bang that the glass
almost broke. Ji Hyo who usually doesn’t behave like this, shocked both Haha
and Kwang Soo. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah Ji Hyo-ah are you alright?” Haha scooted closer and
patted her back gently. “Don’t vent it on drinking….Otherwise you’ll have hard
time for filming tomorrow. Hangover is gonna kill you…If’s there’s anything, just
say it all out, you’ll feel better…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes, noona..Haha hyung is right…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The loud bang made her realised what she have just done. Ji
Hyo buried her head into her palm because of the embarrassment. “Mianhe…Haha
oppa and Kwang Soo…I-I am not myself today…Maybe I really had too much of drinks…Maybe
I should just go back to my room…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Having said that, Ji Hyo turns to her purse and was about to
pay for the drinks when Haha stops her. “Yah, oppa would take care of the bill.
Now you just obediently go back to your room with Kwang Soo.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s okay…I’m not drunk...” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s about your safety noona.” Kwang Soo retorted. She had
no choice but to have Kwang Soo escort her back to her room.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once they reached her room, Ji Hyo turn to Kwang Soo and
holds by his shoulder gently. “Kwang Soo-ah, noona says sorry for shouting at
you just now…Forgive noona okay?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Arasso noona…Just go in and have a good rest. We’ll see you
tomorrow morning.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With that, Ji Hyo entered the room and closed the door
behind her. She falls onto her bed while her manager sleeping soundly beside
her on the other single bed. The incident over at the lounge just now replays
in her mind.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo tries her best to reason out her mind, the reason
that she’s behaving so oddly. She was fine during dinner when she’s having meal
with the members and staff. But after she met with Kang Gary and was given a
cold shoulder by him….And from there, her emotion starts fluctuating.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>‘Wait a minute. I’m
like this because of Kang Gary?’ <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Gary oppa has always been very kind to me…always caring for
me. Maybe I’m just receiving it the wrong way.. No it can’t be. I can’t be
liking—“<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘<i>Maybe I’m just too
attached. I’m just too used to being around him.”</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Suddenly she picked up her phone and dialled a number.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yeoboseyo~PD-nim…This is Ji Hyo…Sorry for troubling you at
this hour…but I have a request to make…”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

“Because you’re the inspiration to the title.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh?” Ji Hyo’s hand stopped rinsing the soap away, froze for
a little moment. “Me..?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Well when I was deciding on the title…you subconsciously
came to my mind…” Gary let out a smile. “So I decided on the title Tears.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Really..? I-I’m honoured…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I guess so…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After washing the dishes, Gary and Ji Hyo chill out at the
living room with Ji Hyo’s mother preparing some fruits in the kitchen. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Are you ready to hear the song?” Gary asked softly as he
brings out his phone out of his pocket.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course!” Her eyes lit up.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Okay…exclusive debut of this song to the exclusive Song Ji
Hyo~” Gary mumbled to himself as he swipe on his Iphone. Then he took out his
earphone and connects them to his phone. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Here you go…” Gary passed one side of the ear phone to Ji
Hyo and to his surprised, instead of receiving them on the hand, she lean
nearer to Gary and ‘offers’ her ear. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Naturally, Gary helped Ji Hyo to plug in the ear phone to
her right ear and put the other one on his left ear. As the length of the
earphone are limited, Ji Hyo scooted closer to Gary and just like that, both
sat side by side, close to each other indulges themselves in the song. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa this song is really daebak…” Ji Hyo’s eyes widened as
she pulls off the earphone off her ears. She reached out her hand and put a
thumb up with a broad smile. “Leessang’s music is the best~”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Thank you…Gil and Seeya’s voice just matched the feel of
the song…”Gary said coolly. “Glad that you like this song…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“The lyrics are so beautifully written…As expected Kang Gary
produced the best music~”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With the overflowing praise from Ji Hyo, Gary got shy and gently
rubs the back of his ears with a silly smile. His actions were noticed by Ji Hyo
and she let out a small laugh.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Why..?” Gary asked in a whining tone. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa look cute doing that.” Ji Hyo blurted out suddenly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>OMG!! What have I just
said??<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That vocabulary used surprised Gary. He looks up at her and saw Ji Hyo’s nervous
face. She just realised what she just said because Gary’s widened eyes.
Embarrassed, Ji Hyo quickly stood up from the couch.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Omma, I’ll help you~!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>C-U-T-E. Did Song Ji
Hyo just said that I look cute?<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary was left sitting there, all smiling to himself; while rubbing
the back of his ears – again. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo’s mother stayed
for more than a week; amount of dinners Gary had continuously spent with
Ji Hyo and her mother. For a few times, Gary even went to Ji Hyo’s drama
filming set to bring her food packed by her mother. Of course he wasn’t seen by
any cast, because it was Ji Hyo’s manager who came out to take the food from
Gary. And there was two times where he went to the set fetched her home for
dinner together. The days felt so surreal, like a projection
of their future together; so warming, so
natural as if he really is Ji Hyo’s boyfriend. It made him believed more
that they matched well with each other. Because
of this, Gary and Ji Hyo got very much closer not only privately but also
during filming. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Here’s your
Americano. Have a nice day~!” The barista cheerfully greeted. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah, thank you…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary carefully brings
the coffees over to a table and settled down. Gary looked at his watch on his right hand. It was still early
from the opening filming time. He
looked around the staff members who start to gather but still no sight of her. Then he took out his phone and swiftly typed a message.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
TO Ji Hyo: “Reaching
soon? Americano is waiting. <span lang="KO" style="font-family: "Batang","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: KO; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">ㅋㅋㅋ</span>”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While waiting for her
reply, Gary just peacefully flips through the morning paper when suddenly
somebody ‘attacked’ him from the back.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah! Who’s that?!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He quickly turn around
saw Song Ji Hyo standing there with a black and white varsity jacket; looking
gorgeous as ever.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah Song Ji Hyo!”
When he realised his voice is a little too loud, he quickly change to a
whispering tone. “You’ve scared me…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo just ignored
Gary’s whine and sat down opposite him. “Americano?” She said while pointing to
the cup in front of her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course it is…What
else could it be?” He said in a pouting tone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Aigoo, Kang Gary is
pissed? Mianhe Kang Gary...” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The soft words from Ji
Hyo just made him smile eventually. He just can do nothing about, he’s totally
trapped in her charms. That’s Song Ji Hyo; able to make guys’ heart melt
unconsciously. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Kang Gary knows me the
best…” She said and sips a mouthful of the fragrant coffee. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Did you sleep well
last night? Have you eaten breakfast? You want oppa to buy some sandwich for
you?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
[Flashback]<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Gary-ah, I heard from Sung Im that you guys are going to
Macau and Vietnam to film?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes omoni. We are departing the day after…”
Gary said after eating a mouthful of food.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Then please take care of our Sung Im…Make sure she eats
well and rest well….”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary puts down his chopsticks and gently hit his chest that
creates a hollow sound. “Omoni you can rest assured that I would definitely
look after Ji Hyo...” He then turns to Ji Hyo with a confident smile. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Omma! It’s not my first time going overseas to work…I’m
gonna be fine…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah Cheon Sung Im! Don’t
you know a mum’s heart? Which mother is not worried for their own child?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo who is naturally
afraid of her mother when she gets agitated, just shut up and whined softly. “Arasso
omma~”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
[End of Flashback]<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa are you going to
start nagging like my mother already?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Well I promised omoni
to take care of you while we’re at overseas…You’re my responsibility now…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Having said that, he
stood up and walk over to the counter and bought two set of ham sandwiches. Then
he brought it back and put one set in front of Ji Hyo.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Just now I heard from
Myuk PD that we gonna start the race the moment we touch down in Macau. It’s
gonna be a long day ahead…You better eat a little first.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Really?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes, so you better
eat something otherwise you’ll have no energy to run.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Arasso. Gumawo oppa.”
Ji Hyo said obediently and ate the sandwiches. Gary let out a smile to see Ji
Hyo eats her meal well. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Look who’s dating
here…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary’s expressions lit
up when he heard the word ‘dating’. Both heard the voice and turn to see Haha
approaching them with a grin. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh Dong Hoon-ah you’re early today?” Gary
said while trying hard to maintain his happy expressions.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh hyung you look
happy today…What’s up?” Haha reached out his hand and did a cup-to-the hug
handshake with Gary.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa annyeonghaseyo~”
Ji Hyo gently greeted while holding the cup tightly in her hand.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Haha noticed the
coffee cup and immediately know that Gary bought it for her. “Gary hyung bought
this for you?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh? Yes, oppa bought
this…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Wanting to tease them,
Haha suddenly changed his tone and whined like a little kid. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hyung, where’s my
coffee? Why you always buy for Ji Hyo only~” Haha aegyo-ed like a little kid
asking for a toy at Gary while pointing to the Americano in Ji Hyo’s hand.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa that’s gross!”
Ji Hyo burst out laughing seeing Haha’s antics. Gary just pushed him off.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah you guys are so
fishy… Let me ask, what are you two up to right now? Are you sure you guys are not
meeting each other?” Haha asked in a serious tone while pulling a chair to sit
down.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Gary oppa and I? Of
course we’re not. We are family right oppa?” Ji Hyo bluntly said without
thinking much.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Is this Monday Couple’s
honey moon trip?” Yoo Jae Suk teased casually seeing how Gary and Ji Hyo are
coincidently seated next to each other on the plane to Macau.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No, it’s our farewell
trip instead.” Gary said, trying to maintain his expression that brings
laughter to the other members. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As the plane flies
towards Macau, Gary did not say much and just lowered down his cap for a short
nap. In his mind, Ji Hyo’s reply kept coming back. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“We are family right oppa?”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He was disappointed of
course because he just got ‘family-zoned’. Hearing from the person you like
that she sees you like a family member is a hurting statement. Although he
could not expect much because he has not taken the drastic step of confessing, Ji
Hyo’s reply still it affects his mood and his determination. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s been a while since you’ve come up….”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yea I think it’s time to clean up your house too…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Omma you thought my house is going to be very dirty? I’ve
changed omma. I’m now paying attention to cleanliness too. Don’t sound like
your daughter is like a dirty little kitten..” Ji Hyo said jokingly like a
whining kid. Sometimes in the parents eyes’ their grown up child will always
behave like a child unless they are married. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Taken aback by her daughter’s unusual statement, she turned
to look at her. “Then it must be Chang Jo-ssi that change that character of
yours...”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo’s eyes widened because the mention of Baek Chang Jo
struck to Ji Hyo that she hasn’t let her mum know about their break up.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Omma, actually—“<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You must learn to cook now….As a Korean woman, we must
learn how to cook a delicious dinner for the husband…It is our culture to take
care of our husband’s stomach.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Omma, you’ve told me this a lot of times…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“But you’re still clueless about cooking!”<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“But I can—“<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Don’t tell me that cooking that ramyun is considered
cooking. That’s not cooking.” Ji Hyo’s omma rolled her eyes. “At least learn to
make some ban-chan (Korean side dishes)” Her mum pointed to the big box of food
at the back seat. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Omma this is not important now…” She sighs in frustration.
“Now actually me and Chang Jo oppa—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Is he busy today too? Did you tell him that I’m here? Did
you ask him over? Would he like the ban-chan I made?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo was getting a little frustrated because her sentences
kept being cut off. “Omma! Stop!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What is it?! You’ve scared me.” Her mother pouted. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah mianhe omma.” JI Hyo bowed a little when she realised
she’s a little too loud. She focused back to the road that she’s driving on and
let out a deep sigh. “Omma, just let me talk for a while okay? Listen to what
I’m about to say.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her mother nodded obediently.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Chang Jo oppa and I….” She stops at the traffic light as
the light turns red. She turn to her mum, “We’ve broken up.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His phone rang loudly in his room. In a rush thinking that
it was from that person. Gary rushed out from the bathroom to get it, with a
towel wrapped around his lower body and a wet hair. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What’s for dinner? I’m craving for bibimbap suddenly.” A
husky voice asked. It was no other than Gil. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah it’s you…” Gary’s voice trailed off in disappointment. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Who else would it be?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Nothing. Yah Gil-ah, you go ahead with your dinner. I have
some plan for my dinner.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Plan? With your member?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yea with one of the
member.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Jae Suk hyung?” He guessed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary shook his head. “It’s not important anyway. Yah, I just
bath halfway, I need to get back in. I’m hanging up.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He tossed the phone on the bed and got back into the
bathroom and cleaned himself again. He then dried his hair and looked at his
half-naked body on the mirror and flexes his chest muscles. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Kang Gary, you’re
looking hot today…<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Having said that, he chuckled to himself. “I must be crazy.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nevertheless, he’s in a good mood because he’s going over to
Ji Hyo’s house for dinner. It’s not just any dinner but dinner with her mother.
Although he may not know what Ji Hyo meant, he’s just glad that he’s able to
spend more time with her, getting to know her more. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I must look presentable today.” Gary said as his search
through his cupboard of clothes. “Should I wear a tie? Is it too
exaggerated? It’s just a dinner. Should
I wear my cap? Leessang cap? No, I’m not promoting Leessang. But what if Ji Hyo’s
mother doesn’t recognize me? How should I self-introduce?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The train of thoughts on his mind bewildered his mind. He
chuckled to himself again because he was really excited yet nervous at the same
time. Still half-dressed, he walked over to the packet of gifts he has
prepared. He double checked the content inside. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hope her mother will like this.” He smiled to himself. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Finally after choosing a t-shirt and a long leather jacket,
he took the cologne and sprays them on neck. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Okay! Let’s go~!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before leaving he managed to grab his Leessang cap and his
sunglasses; his trademark item.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Sung-Im ah, omma is sorry…” Ji Hyo’s mother reached out for
her and gave a tight hug after listening to her side of story. She is sorry
that she wasn’t by her daughter’s side when she’s facing difficulties. However
she is glad that she has raised her daughter well and can have overcome all the
adversities by herself.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Omma don’t be. I’m alright now.” Ji Hyo just wanted to let
her mum know but she doesn’t want to keep reminding herself about her past
relationship with Baek Chang Jo. It’s been almost a month. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You should have told omma all your unhappiness. It’s not
right for you to endure all the sadness alone. Promise omma next time that you
don’t keep everything to yourself.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo just nodded her head and pats the back of her mum’s
back. “Omma, I’m sorry because I didn’t tell you earlier. Let’s prepare dinner alright?
I am hungry.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Aigoo then I need to quickly feed my girl.” She said as she
gently brushed Ji Hyo’s hair.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh omma! And someone else is coming too.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh? There is? Who?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You’ll know when the person arrives.” Ji Hyo let out a
mysterious smile. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo’s mother frowns
with curiosity. “You should have told me earlier so I would have more time to
prepare.” Immediately she walks to the kitchen to start preparing dinner. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo looked at the clock that is hung on the wall. It is
only 6, an hour away from the time she asked him to come over. Unknowingly, she
is excited over his arrival too.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s not like the first time she’s having dinner with him
but it’s the first time that her mother and him would be meeting each other.
Even at this point, Ji Hyo felt weird at her own decision at why she’s inviting
Gary over for dinner with her mum. Because any random people on the street
would see it as a ‘boyfriend coming over to eat dinner with future
mother-in-law’ kind of dinner when they are actually are just colleagues, friends
but nothing else and oh; the on-screen Monday Couple. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While having those kinds of confused thoughts, the doorbell suddenly
rang. Shocked, she walked to the intercom and saw Kang Gary standing outside,
wearing his cap and sunglasses. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh o-oppa? Why did he…?” She looked at the clock again.
There’s still at least an hour before the said meeting time. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She walked out of the house and opened the front gate for
him. “Oh oppa annyeonghaseyo...”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ji Hyo-ah, how do I look?” Gary asked almost immediately.
Ji Hyo burst out laughing seeing the nervous question he asks as if like he’s meeting
his boss or what.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa! Why are you so nervous? It’s just a dinner.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“But I still need to look presentable right? You see I even
wear long sleeve.” Gary said pointing his arm where his tattoos are.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo nodded her head in agreement, seeing how considerate
Gary is, she was touched. “Oppa you look as fashion as always. Don’t worry….”
Ji Hyo let out a smile. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Seeing her smile, Gary felt more reassured. He walked in to
the house together with Ji Hyo with his hand holding the gifts tightly. They finally
entered the house.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh you’re here?” Ji Hyo’s mother peeked out of the kitchen
while taking off her apron.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Omoni! Annyeonghaseyo!” Gary bowed earnestly. “I am Kang
Gary from Leessang.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh…annyeonghaseyo! Yes I know you Gary-ssi…Sung Im
sometimes speak about you…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Really?” Gary turned to Ji Hyo who was standing beside her.
“Omoni, this is something for you. Please accept them.” Gary handed the gifts
to her hand.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Aigoo, you shouldn’t have spent...It’s just a dinner.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“This is nothing…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Alright, Gary-ah please sits down comfortably. Sung-Im ah
go and get a cup of water for him.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Omoni! I’m here early because I want to help out. I’m not
here to sit around...” Gary said in a determined tone. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary’s word surprised Ji Hyo. “Oppa, you wanted to help? You
know how to cook?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I came early for a reason…” He said as he folds jacket’s
sleeve without revealing his tattoo. “I know a thing or two because I’ve been
living alone for some time.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Aigoo, come and help me then.” Ji Hyo’s mother happily lead
Gary into the kitchen. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary carefully takes the soondubu (soft tofu) chigae from
the stove and put them at the centre of table. “Okay, dinner is ready!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo who is watching from the living room can’t take her
eyes off him working around in the kitchen. Don’t know why, but she felt that
he looks extra charming today. He’s already a very nice oppa who always takes
care of her but now, she got to see this delicate side of him. Well not trying
to be a stereotype but a rapper cum ex-boxer would actually do all these things
are rare. Really rare. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She walked over to the dining table and settled down at her
usual spot. Naturally Gary settled down beside her and they tucked in the food.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Daebak! Omoni’s food is so good! It’s been a while I get to
eat home-cooked food.” Gary said excitingly as he savours the dishes in front
of him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Seeing how Gary savours the food reminds Ji Hyo’s mother how
much she missed cooking for her children. Ever since her children have left the
home for work, she has always been cooking for her husband only. Not many
people actually enjoy her food as excited as Gary which made her feel really
happy and appreciated. She remembers cooking for Baek Chang Jo once but he was
a quiet guy who eats his food quietly and politely too. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Then you should come here every day while I’m here. I can
make your favourite stew.” Ji Hyo’s mother said endearingly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I would love to!” Gary said it too quick which made Ji Hyo
turned and looked at him. “Or maybe not…” His voice trailed away.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Omma! Oppa is a busy person, don’t force him to come and
eat dinner with you every day.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah mianhe, I forgot you’re a busy person…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course I would like to come here….!” He paused. “But I’m
not sure the owner would like me to be here or not…” He said as he peered at Ji
Hyo. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course you’re welcomed here! Right Sung-Im?” Ji Hyo’s
mother answered excitedly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo ate a mouthful of her food and said shyly. “Of course,
if not I would not have asked you to come over at the first place. You are
welcomed here every day for dinner until my mum is here at the end of this
weekend if you’re free. ”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That answer from Ji Hyo made Gary so happy inside. It felt
like he has advance a big step, not only towards Ji Hyo but her mother too. He
felt really comfortable with her mother around and he’s looking forward to spending
more time with she and her mother.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The dinner ended in a happy manner. Gary volunteered to
clean up the table and insisted Ji Hyo’s mother to rest in the living room.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa, you can leave the dishes here. You can go outside.”
Ji Hyo said while folding her sleeves. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“How can I leave all these to you only? It’s okay oppa will
help you out.” He said with a smile and slides his hand into the pink rubbery
gloves. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As Gary washes the dishes with soap, Ji Hyo rinses them away
with clean water. The back view of the two while washing the dishes together
was just too couple-like, too sweet, and too good to be true. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa you still haven’t let me hear the song.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s a song entitled Tears.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Tears?” Ji Hyo suddenly burst out laughing. It reminds her
of the very high-pitched old song. She even sang a few times in Running Man.
“Now I know why oppa said the song is somehow reminds you of me.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Because you’re the inspiration to the title.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary twirls his pen around as he focused on the sheets of
paper in front of him. He’s amending some parts of their new collaboration song
with Eugene of Seeya entitled “Tears” after their first recording this morning.
He’s looking very serious as usual whenever he’s into his song-writing mood.
His hand can’t stop scribbling here and there, mumbling to himself.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As he practises through his rap part, his phone beeped with
an incoming message. It was from Ji Hyo. Straight away a smile spread across
his face, extinguishing the serious look almost immediately.<o:p></o:p></div>

With that last message
sent to Jihyo, Gary adjusted his facial expression and put his phone aside. Gil
who was watching all along, look in disbelief. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Kang Hee Geun!” Gil
called out. “Just a few messages from her can make you smile like that?” Gil shook
his head.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What is it?” Gary
said nonchalantly, keeping his face straight acting like he doesn’t know what Gil
is trying to mean.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Tsk tsk…the power of love…” Gil said with his
hoarse voice as he put his hand behind his ‘clean’ head. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ji Hyo, who are you
texting that makes you smile…?” Asked Ji Hyo’s hairdresser that she has known
for a few years while touching up on her hairdo. Ji Hyo is waiting to film the
next scene of the drama. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh? It’s nothing..” Embarrassed,
she quickly put her phone aside and picked up the mirror and to check on her
make up.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I know…It must be
Baek Chang Jo-ssi...Right?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Unnie! Stop teasing
me…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Arasso..I won’t ask.”
She gave a smile.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Weird enough, her
hairdresser’s question also struck her. It’s just an ordinary message
conversation between a friend…Why does it make her smile so much? Anyway, she’s
really anticipating the new song from Kang Gary, more precisely Leessang. She’s
their fan after all.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

[Filming for Ep129 –
Winter Olympic]<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Okay we’ll hit the slab for our lunch break.” Myeok PD
shouted. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’ll do it!” Kwanghee volunteered. “One, two, three!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With that everyone clapped their hands and starts to
disperse to remove their ice hockey suit away. Gary again helped Ji Hyo walk to
the changing area because of her enormous goalkeeper suit. Everyone crowded at
the changing area busy taking off their suit. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa, can you help me to remove my helmet first?” Ji Hyo
naturally called out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You’re really troublesome.” With a click, Gary removed Ji
Hyo’s helmet. Seeing her sweating so much, he used his hand to fan her as much
as he can although you can’t really feel the wind. “Look at you sweating so
much. Anybody got tissue here?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo’s manager who came to the set too quickly passed a
tissue to him. Gently, he wiped Ji Hyo’s sweat while her manager helped her to
get out of the suit. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Wow look at that two~” Haha teased. Because of his
statement, both Yoo Jae Suk and Kwang Soo turned their heads to the duo. The
embarrassed Gary quickly retrieved his hand and commented sloppily, “Ahh she’s
a girl that need a lot of help..”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah Song Ji Hyo you’re really lucky to have Gary hyung waiting
on you.” He teased again.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo looked at Haha with a puzzled look. She did not felt
anything because she is busy taking off the suit. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Haha started imitating how gently Gary wipes her sweats off
on Kwang Soo. Kwang Soo played along, making Ji Hyo blushed. She turned to Gary
and saw him holding the used piece of tissue. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She let out a smile and took the tissue from him. “Gumawo
oppa. You should go take off yours too.” She then focused back to taking off
the suit. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Why didn’t I feel him
wiping my sweats? Was it such a natural act of him for my body not to response to
it? <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Soon, everybody has done changing and they moved to a room
where all the members, idols and staff enjoy their lunch break. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As they were eating, they casually converse like they would
always do like a family. Now with the addition of the idols the crowd was
noisier. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ji Hyo noona! Your goalkeeper skill is daebak!” Yong Hwa
complimented as he eats a mouthful of rice. Ji Hyo smiles at the compliment and
shakes her head, “I did nothing much though…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jae Suk and Suk Jin nodded in unison. “Of course, Ji Hyo is
our Running Man ace.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s important to meet a capable woman.” Gary who was (of
course) sitting beside Ji Hyo said softly. Although it was soft, it was audible
to Lee Joon who was sitting on the other side of Gary. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Is…Gary hyung and Ji Hyo noona a pair…?” The blank-head Lee
Joon asked bluntly. Ji Hyo and Gary looked up from their food and turned to
him. His question caught everyone’s attention for a little while before breaking
into laughter. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Don’t you know that they are Monday Couple? The whole
nation knows about it…” Kwang Hee teased. Now Ji Hyo and Gary who was the star
of the topic kept their head low, a little embarrassed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course I know!”
Lee Joon innocently defended. “But the camera is turned off now….” He said
looking at the VJs who are hungrily digging into their own food.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Realising the whole starting-to-get-awkward situation, the
fast-sense Haha quickly makes a joke out of it. “Ah Gary hyung! It’s not Monday
today! Have you forgotten? You should stop your act now…Hyung change place with
me!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even the members are puzzled at these two’s status. It’s
weird to see how Gary is always caring for Ji Hyo during filming and how Ji Hyo naturally sticks to
Gary these days. They never really probe anything about them other than just
teasing. They really wanted some news from them but now they are just watching
their ambiguous close relationship as bystanders. They are still waiting for
the day to come; the day when they are not just Monday Couple but Everyday
Couple. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary blamed himself a little on the inside for spouting
nonsense with the idol dongsaeng on set. Now he is being forced to swap place
with Haha to prevent the dongsaengs from misunderstanding. Unwillingly he stood
up and change seats with Haha who was sitting opposite Ji Hyo.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh I think I am too engrossed in my character as Monday
Boyfriend…” Gary casually jokes with his pouting face. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His word made everyone break into laughter again. The quick
lunch break was continued in a cheerful manner. Then the lunch break ended and
as all of them walked to their car to change to a different filming location,
Jong Kook approached his dongsaengs from behind.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hyung says sorry if
I was too harsh during the game just now …” Jong Kook says with an earnest
smile<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Minho, surprised with the sudden apologetic-Jong Kook
quickly turned to his back and bowed slightly. “Ah hyung! It’s nothing.. We
enjoyed ourselves instead.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Jong Kook hyung your strength is not a joke!” Kwang Hee
chipped in.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah Kwang Hee-ah, did you hurt yourself anywhere? I think I
knock you too hard.” Jong Kook grabbed Kwang Hee shoulder and scanned him from
up till down, massaging them a little.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Actually it hurts a little but what kind of sport comes
with no injury?” Kwang Hee replied with his signature smile. “Instead, this
game is really interesting. I never knew we could do that with a broom.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He felt sorry for his harsh way of playing the game and he
was very glad that the dongsaeng understands him that he did it for the sake of
the show.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yong Hwa saw the trio talking and walked over. “Hyung, we
should train together sometimes, your muscles are really cool.” He looked at
himself and rubbed his tummy area. “I’ve put on weight recently...” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh really?” Jong Kook teased and punch lightly on his
stomach. “You need to work on this part then.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Exactly hyung! You should teach me a skill or two on how to
keep fit.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jong Kook pointed to the side of his head, “It’s all in the
mind. You need determination.” The dongsaeng look up to this sunbae in awe with
that golden advice. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Behind the whole crowd, there’s the Monday Couple who’s
walking a little slower than others. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa is sorry if just now the lunch is embarrassing you
because of me…” Gary said gently. Ji Hyo quickly shook her head. “No oppa, not
at all…I’m not bothered by it at all…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The members reached the car and the last two who arrived at
the car were being asked to sit at the back. “Yah you two are getting close
aren’t you? Then you two shall sit at the back.” Jae Suk ‘ordered’ in a nagging
tone that cracks the others up. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Monday couple obediently obliged which surprised the members
because Ji Hyo aren’t the one that usually follow what the oppa says. In front
of the oppa especially to Big Nose Hyung,
Ji Hyo is more like a noona.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The car starts to move and Ji Hyo took out her phone and
swiftly types on it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Suddenly, Ji Hyo passed the phone to Gary and made him read.
Gary who was a little surprised and tried to maintain his expression. It reads:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i>‘Oppa my mom is coming the day after. She would be bringing some food
for me. And….you’re invited.’<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The surprised Gary turned his head and look at her. His eyes
widened showing a ‘Really?’ look. And Ji Hyo really understood him nodded.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo took back her phone and type again. Then it’s back to
his hand.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i>‘Then you would have to let me listen to the new song.</i><i><span lang="KO" style="font-family: "Batang","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-language: KO; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">ㅋㅋ</span>’</i><i><o:p></o:p></i></div>

<i><br /></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Immediately Gary
reached out his hand and secretly pinky-promises with Ji Hyo. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It was the few days after Gary fetched Ji Hyo to her filming
site. It was the last time he saw her and talk to her. Gary sat down in his
house kitchen after taking a break from song writing. He could not focus at all
because he was worried. <i>Did anything
happen to her?</i> He didn’t dare to call her up or to message her. He really
wanted to do it but he was worried whether if he is in any position to ask her.
He kept watching out for the entertainment news if there’s anything about Ji Hyo
but luckily there was none. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah, why don’t you just give her a call? You’ll never know
the answer until you try.” Gil who just came out from the toilet reprimanded at
him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary brushed his hair frustratingly. Sometimes he hates
himself for being such a coward. He may be a martial arts practitioner, but
when it comes to such delicate things, he always fails. He flipped his Iphone
around and was contemplating on calling Ji Hyo.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah if you’ve got no balls to do it, I’ll do it.” Gil
swiftly walked over to Gary and took his phone by surprise.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah! Don’t mess it up!” Gary jolted up from his seat and
tried to grabbed the phone back from him<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You think it’s better if you sit here and wait? I don’t
even know what are you waiting for? Waiting for another guy to get her?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’m waiting for….Ahhh! I don’t know!” Gary was really
annoyed at his own wishy-washy character.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Just give her a call…Don’t think so much and just ask about
her current situation. You can just show concern for her as a friend only…” Gil
shoved the phone back into Gary’s hand. “I’ll make a move first. See you
tomorrow. Just let me know if there’s anything.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With that, Gil just left the house like his own. He has been
to Gary’s house for many times. They were like real brothers who have been
working together for almost 10 years already.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary look at Ji Hyo’s contact number and his finger was just
millimetres away from pressing that call button. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh Omma… No, nothing happened…I’m pretty fine here….Yes I
would take care of myself more…You too please take care of your health… Oh
Chang Jo oppa? Y-yes he’s treating me very w-well…Okay I got to hang up
now…Omma saranghae…”<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo hangs up the phone and tosses her Samsung Note 2
aside as she heaved a loud sigh. She rested her head against her white leather
3-seater couch. She reached out her hand for the accessorised creamy coloured
fluffy cushions and eventually slides down, lying flat on her back on the
couch. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahhh how am I going to let omma know..?” Ji Hyo cried out
loud as she kicked the air frustratingly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo’s mum was very fond of CEO Baek, previously when CEO
Baek visited her for the first time (it was the last one too) and had really
good impression on him. And now they have broken up, she didn’t know how to
break the news to her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahhh stress-eu!!” Subconsciously she finds herself copying
the way Gary said STRESS. It made her smile.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All of a sudden, her phone rang loudly and looked for them.
When she saw it was Gary, she quickly she picked up the phone and lied back on
her back.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh oppa.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ji Hyo-ah…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What’s up?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah I am just worried about you... Nothing major happened
right…?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes there is…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Huh? What is it?” Gary’s panicked tone made Ji Hyo almost
burst into laughter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I bought a new flower pot and put them on my coffee table.”
Ji Hyo joked daringly on the phone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah Song Ji Hyo! I am being serious here okay? I am very
worried about you, you know.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ooooo Kang Gary is cool…Arasso, I’ll let you know…No,
nothing major happened. I’m still working under C-Jes Entertainment…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Jeongmal?” Gary’s voice clearly lifted up. “Yah that’s
really good to hear…I thought I was so worried that I almost got sick.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa, are you sure you’re not exaggerating?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Minus the sick part, others are all true.” Gary said in a
confident tone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Arasso…sorry for making you worried…Oppa what are you doing
now? Not writing songs?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Me? I was just now…but not in the mood…But anyway, it’s
really great to hear that everything’s alright…It has been a hectic week for
you, please rest well. The weather is really cold, so please wear more layers...Oppa
will see you soon okay?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Arasso…I’ll see you on Monday Kang Gary.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo hang up the phone and placed her phone aside. She really
felt Gary’s sincere concern and it made her smile. She sat up on the couch and
reach for the bag that Gary passed to her few days ago. She opened them up and
there’s the last packet of healthy drink he gave.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Should I drink this last packet?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She tore the packet carefully and drank them. Although it
was a little bitter, but she drank them gratefully. She doesn’t know why she
suddenly feels so up spirited. Her shoulder felt light and there was literally
no burden in her heart (except for those filming challenges that she’s facing
now) and is really grateful for whatever is happening now.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

She still remembers the very next day when she went back to
the company with preparations to be sacked, but nothing happened. CEO Baek
didn’t pull back Ji Hyo’s contract just because of their broken relationship. He
didn’t let anyone know because he didn’t want any scandals that would cause
backlash to Ji Hyo. He thought this is the least that he can do for her. So to
outsider, CEO Baek and Ji Hyo are still a couple, but the truth is they’ve
broken up. CEO Baek made Ji Hyo to agree to this to prevent it from interfering
with Ji Hyo’s future as she’s filming for movie (New World), drama (Fugitive of
Joseon) and Running Man. When she’s not that active, he’ll release the news.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yahooooooo!” Gary squeals in relief. The matter that made
him loses appetite, no mood to write songs, and worried so much has been
solved. He was so worried that if there’s anything that really happened to Ji
Hyo’s career, how he should be responsible for them. He chuckled to himself at
his fast change in his tone after he hangs up the call with Ji Hyo. Although
the conversation was not very long, but from there he felt that it was a good
start for him. There’s two more days left till Monday, he anxiously wants it to
arrive faster more than any working guys in the whole world. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
It was the coldest day of the winter. She sat in her car as
she watched the staffs getting ready for the Monday filming. The staffs has
briefed her a little about the day’s filming and was really excited to meet
Park Shin Hyang (Ep 128), her idol that inspires her to go into acting.
Suddenly she saw a hand knocking on the car’s window.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She reached out her hand to slide open the car’s door. And
without a doubt its Gary standing out in the cold.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh Oppa annyeong….” Ji Hyo brushed her hands together, trying
to warm her already gloved hands. Her sharp sensitive nose quickly smells
something familiar.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh…I smell Americano~” Ji Hyo look around with an eager
face. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Eyyy that’s not fun anymore!” Gary whined. His other hand
that was hidden behind him all the while, revealed a standard size takeaway
cup. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ahh I knew it!” Ji Hyo was delighted. Her face literally
lit up and a smile spread across her face. It is really what she needed to boost
her energy in the cold morning for the filming.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary carefully passed the cup in Ji Hyo’s hand. Once she
received them, she opened the lid and breathe in the awesome fragrant. For a
coffee lover, the fragrant is to die for, especially on such a cold morning. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Daebak!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary chuckled out as he watches Ji Hyo with her antics. He
is contented enough to watch her smile.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>‘Smile more because you’ll never know how your smile can brighten up
other people’s day’<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’ll see you around, I am going to do some preparation
first...” Gary said coolly as he walked away, trying to keep his cool pose. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah! Kang Gary!” She called out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Almost immediately, he turned around. “Eh?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Gumawo, oppa.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Just enjoy the coffee~~ I’ll get going now…” Gary waved and
walked away. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo watches Gary walked away. Holding the warm cup in her
hand, her heart feels more of the warmth. The warmth of concern; something that
don’t come by easily. She knew all the Running Man members took care of her a
lot as she was the only girl there but Kang Gary, he’s concern for her felt so
different suddenly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All of the members and guest were exhausted and cold after
the first water game at the gas station. As the weather was already cold adding
to the merciless water game, everyone almost freeze after that. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just as Ji Hyo wanted to get on her team’s car with Yoo Jae
Suk and Ji Suk Jin, Gary stuffed two packets of hot pack into her hand which
shocked Ji Hyo. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Take them. Don’t get cold.” Gary briefly said and walked
away.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh okay…” With a Mong face, she entered the car holding the
warm packs. However, the scene was witness by Ji Suk Jin who was already seated
at the front of the car. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah this Gary isn’t he being too biased? He needs to take
care of his hyung too.” Ji Suk Jin complained jokingly as he shook his head.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This made Ji Hyo pretty embarrassed and unwillingly passed
the two packets to the front. “Oppa, here you go.”<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Are you crazy? Do you think I would take them from you?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hyung, don’t you remember Gary is Sung Im’s Monday
Boyfriend? Anything that concerns Sung In is within Gary’s responsibility..”
Jae Suk commented as he starts the car.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I think that’s the prime of a relationship…caring for each
other…Aish! I miss my wife again…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah hyung aren’t you being too random? Don’t you forget
that incidence on the Lying Game?” Jae Suk sarcastically reminds Suk Jin of his
failed attempt that to say the truth. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“AHHH Why did you have to remind me that again?” Suk Jin
grabbed his hair lightly and tried to ‘shake’ away the embarrassing memories. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From the back of the seat, Ji Hyo just watches his two oppa
bickering like old friends. Clutching the hot packs tightly, she starts to
analyses all his actions. She notices all his actions and appreciates them
gratefully but she’s trying to analyse them does Gary meant anything? Or is
just plain oppa caring for dongsaeng? Or is it more? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Alright everyone! We’ll start filming soon!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo quickly rolled down the window and shouted. “I will
hit the slab! Filming in 3! 2! 1!”<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary waited patiently outside her house. He looks calm but
his mind was disrupted. It felt like he had been caught red-handed fooling
around with someone else’s girl; something that he would be very unhappy if it
happens to his girl, so unhappy that he could imagine himself to be in that
position. Then he got the urge to go in to explain to CEO Baek that there’s
actually nothing happened between them. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While debating to himself, he saw the front door swung open
and Ji Hyo walked out; CEO Baek followed behind closely. He saw him pulling Ji
Hyo while Ji Hyo tried to break away from him. Seeing how helpless Ji Hyo
looked, Gary can’t help but to get down of the car.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Excuse me for interrupting.” Gary said in a calm tone. It
was not his style to actually interrupt a couple’s fight. However this time, it
concerns Ji Hyo and it seems like she’s really trying to break away from him. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa, please… We’re over….” Ji Hyo was at total lost at
what to do. She doesn’t want to hurt CEO Baek but she just felt so helpless at
his consistent pestering. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Baek Chang Jo-ssi, I’m afraid you’re hurting Ji Hyo by
doing this.” Gary said politely. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes oppa. It’s hurting me…” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hearing this, CEO Baek immediately releases the grip of his
hand with a guilty face. Ji Hyo retrieves back her hand and there were red
marks on the wrist. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa, just leave…” Her voice trailed off as she rubs her
wrist. “Gary oppa, let’s go.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just abiding the instructions given by his mistress like a
slave, Gary nodded and together they walked to the car. Gary helped Ji Hyo
opened the car door before entering the car himself. Soon after, they drove off
leaving CEO Baek witnessing the whole scene.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From corner of his eyes, Gary tried to study her expression.
Gary didn’t ask nor does Ji Hyo talk. Both were silent, focusing in their own
things. Gary concentrates on the road while Ji Hyo looked outside watching the
cars passing by in a fast speed; thinking over ‘THINGS’. Her emotions were
mixed. She felt like a bad woman for treating his ex-boyfriend that way but she
felt that she was left with no choice. She really treasured the relationship
that she once had with him but now she could not continue them anymore. It has
been a week since she mentioned the break-up and now he’s still pestering her
nonstop. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And she was worried too; worried about her future in C-Jes.
As things turns out like this, she’s even worried about the drama that she’s
filming right now. If scandal were to break out, her role in the drama could
even be pulled out. Even her appearance in Running Man might be even affected. Her
uneasiness made her feel so stressed up. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><u>[Flashback]<o:p></o:p></u></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>“Oppa, let me ask you a question. If one day you and I were not
together anymore, would you fire me away from the company?”<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>“We would not be separating…Let’s not even think about this
possibility...”<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>“Let me just say what if…?”<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>“Oh okay, if one day we were fated to break up, I would still be your
boss until you don’t want the company anymore because you’re the woman whom I
once loved so deeply.” CEO Baek said as he plants a kiss on Ji Hyo’s forehead.<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><u>[End]<o:p></o:p></u></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><u><br /></u></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The car stops suddenly, interrupting Ji Hyo’s train of
thoughts. Startled, she turned to look at Gary. “Oppa! Why did you stop
suddenly?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary reached out his hand holds her shoulder gently. “Ji
Hyo-ah, is everything alright…?” Gary asked softly in a caring tone. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He didn’t want to be nosey person and poke into her matter.
But he didn’t know what else to ask. He was so worried that his appearance has
caused trouble for Ji Hyo and indirectly affects her future in her C-Jes
company. After all her ex-boyfriend is the boss of the company. Anything could
happen as that’s the harsh reality of the entertainment industry.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo was speechless at his questions. She herself doesn’t even
know how she feels right now. Her mind was messy and really in need of someone to
talk her out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary shook her slightly once again. “Are you okay..? You
know I am always here for you…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Suddenly Ji Hyo turned to him and hugged him by his neck. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
..<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p>....</o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
......<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The time seems to have stopped once again for him. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was so abrupt that Gary thinks that he didn’t even blink.
He was too shocked for words and just sat there hugged by her. It was not like
she hasn’t hugged him before but when she did, it was always in front of the
camera. But now, she’s hugging him like for real without any Monday Couple
fans, any cameras, just the two of them in his KIA Forte Koup. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He could feel the adrenaline rush and his heart rate
increasing. He had a mini battle in his mind and finally the caring oppa side
of him won. He rose up his hand and placed them on her back, rubbing them in an
up and down motion. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Everything is gonna be alright…” He hushed. Once again his
caring tone sets the atmosphere in the car. They were both silent, just the
soft music in the car playing at the back.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She tries her best to hold back her tears but hearing those
comforting tone of Gary just weakens her determination. She doesn’t want to be weak
women that cry easily but the vulnerable side got the better of her and she
just felt like crying in his arm. It felt like as if she has been bullied and
now she’s in the arms of the safest person other than her parents and she need
to vent all her unhappiness out so that this brave commander of hers can ‘avenge’
for her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tears nevertheless escape her eyes. As her tears flow, her
nose starts to get watery and she starts sniffing in the Song Ji Hyo style. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hearing Ji Hyo’s signature nose sniffing sound, Gary’s mouth
formed a smile because it reminds him how cute she look like when she sniffs. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Just cry. You’ll feel a lot better. But cry for the last
time only.” He said softly. His hand stops moving up and down, instead he
starts to pat on her slowly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ji Hyo didn’t move nor respond to him, she just continues
staying in Gary’s arm like that; with tears continue to flow. She felt very safe
and secure in his arms and get to be herself in front of Kang Gary.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They stayed like that for a good five minutes. Her tears
have stopped flowing and they broke off the hug. Gary scanned her wet face and
grabbed a piece of tissue and gave it to her. JI Hyo receives them gratefully
and wiped away her tears. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Tsk tsk. Crying Song Ji Hyo is not pretty anymore…” Gary
purposely teased.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah oppa, I am feeling sad now and you’re teasing me
already?” She pouted with a little frown on her forehead. Her mouth forms a
little curve upwards.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Since you’re all better, let’s go grabbed a bite? Happy or
sad, let’s fill in the stomach first.” Gary said in a cheerful mode. Ji Hyo
nodded in agreement. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Are we meeting Gil oppa?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Nope, he’s not free. We’ll ask Jae Suk hyung out.” Gary
fished out his phone and dialled quickly into his phone. “Good afternoon Hyung-nim!
Are you free for a lunch now?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They reached the destination and both got into the soup-stew
restaurant. From afar, they saw Yoo Jae Suk sitting with Kwang Soo. Ji Hyo
waved happily at the two and quickly ran to them. There were not many people
around, so they didn’t wear their sunglasses.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oppa!” Ji Hyo walked briskly to the two and slightly hugged
Jae Suk who stood up. “Kwang Soo was free so I asked him to eat with us too.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The polite Kwang Soo stood up and bowed at his hyung and
noona. “Eh, why are you two coming together?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah I went to pick her up…” Gary white lied while brushing
the back of his head. All his obvious action is noticed by the sharp Jae Suk. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They ordered their food and enjoyed a wonderful lunch time
together. Suddenly, Ji Hyo excused herself for the toilet. Seeing the
opportunity, Jae Suk quickly voiced out. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yah Gary-ah, hyung is not trying to teach you bad things…But
there are things in our life that we need to fight for it.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary quickly understood what Jae Suk was trying to tell him.
Plus to the current condition, Ji Hyo is now single and available. However he
didn’t want to take the chance where now Ji Hyo is recuperating from the
previous relationship and cause burden to her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary nodded gently and continued eating. Kwang Soo felt
weird and ask Gary, “Hyung, I am saying honestly, you and noona are really
suitable for each other...”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As their colleague for more than 2 years already, the
members could see how match-made they are. They have seen how the Monday Couple
started awkwardly but eventually because they clicked off pretty and complement
each other so well they are able to continue the ‘character’ until today. It
can’t be deniable that they private relationship has also improve drastically. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Should I really make
my move?<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary just smiled shyly. It’s like the whole wide world is
telling him to get Ji Hyo but he himself is the one that’s pulling back. He
wasn’t sure why but he felt very little confident, fearing that he would not be
able to give her any happiness. He has many considerations in his mind, and his
real feeling for her is always the bottom of the list. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Gary-ah, sometimes we can’t think too much. Especially when
it comes to love. You know what I’m saying right?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What are you guys talking about? Talking about love?” JI
Hyo interrupted as she came back from the ladies. “Is it about Kwang Soo?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The innocent Kwang Soo shook his head repeatedly. “Noona,
for me career is more important.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

JI Hyo burst out laughing. “Oh really? Then what’s with the
red face of yours when we have pretty guest on filming set?” She teased. She
always treat Kwang Soo like her own brother whom she like to disturb. She doesn’t
really mind how he would always tease her during filming because of their close
relationship.<o:p></o:p></div>

“Eyyy noona…I am a man afterall…” Kwang Soo face reddened a
little, embarrassed.<o:p></o:p></div>

JI Hyo looked at her watch. “I need to go to the filming set
already.” She sighed. It has been a while she enjoy such a lunchtime with the
members like this. <o:p></o:p></div>

“I’ll send you there?” Gary offered. Quickly Ji Hyo nodded. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“OOooooo…So you guys became Wednesday Couple already? Are we
expecting Everyday Couple too?” Kwang Soo teased. Ji Hyo wanted to hit him on
the head but he dodge. The Monday Couple left the restaurant after Gary paid
for the lunch. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Straight to Ilsan filming site or you wanna go back first?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ilsan. I am afraid to see CEO Baek if I go back home now.”
Gary understood right away and started driving away. After dropping JI Hyo off
to the set, he went home.<o:p></o:p></div>

After a day of happening he felt like its’ a new start. A new
day for him to start his engine; in getting Ji Hyo. <o:p></o:p></div>
