UNTOLD MARRIAGE ; sunghoon

CHAPTER 31

So far, the show is going well which Sunghoon is grateful for. They do lot of things, challenges and stuff before they proceeds questioning the idols.

The ravenette keeps on glancing at Rian without her knowing. Rian is a professional artist, so she'd stick to what she was trained for. And that is to not interact to other idols unless they have to. And now, they don't have a reason to talk or smile to each other so she stayed how the way she was trained.

Well, that was what Sunghoon thought because everytime he looks away, Rian would look at him in a not so obvious way. Like as if she was looking to other girl group on the other side which in reality, she was looking at the ravenette.

It's been a while since she last saw him. And she missed him. Very much so. She yearned for his warmth and touch. And seeing him there, she didn't know if she would be happy or sad.

Happy that he is here but also sad with the fact that the other group is also here. No, not Enhypen but the other group, Ive.

Basing from the last show they were both in, the viewers asked them to do sweet things together, and Rian would be lying if she said she's not thinking that it will happen again in this show.

Eunjung, who's sitting beside Rian, reached for their maknae's hand and gave her a reassuring smile, squeezing her hand while doing so.

"I still can't believe that these three big groups are here. " The blonde host said, looking at his brunette partner.

"Me too, mate. I still can't believe it even though we're in the last part of the show. " The brunette replied, fanning the papers where the questions that will be asked to the idols are written, to his face as if it's hot which isn't. Or maybe it is because of the hot idols who are with them.

"But before we proceed mate, I want to congratulate Wonyoung and Sunghoon. " The host then gazed to the two particular idols. Rian, along with her other two members, looked confused as they looked at them too. Especially to Sunghoon and Wonyoung who are smiling sheepishly. "Wonyoung-ssi and Sunghoon-ssi, come to the front please. "

Rian didn't leave Sunghoon's figure as the man stood up. Her expression puzzled, clueless of what's happening. Well, not really clueless since the memory of the 'jangkku' on the last show they're both in where the viewers asked for 'jangkku moments' crossed her mind. Sunghoon looked at her causing their eyes to meet.

Rian smiled while Sunghoon didn't. Instead, he looked down and silently walked towards the front where the MCs and Wonyoung already are.

Meanwhile, Enhypen members looked unsure, though they masked it with a smile. Not wanting to create an issue with a caption of 'Enhypen looking uncomfortable when Sunghoon and his girlfriend were called in front'. That issue will probably trigger another issue. A past issue to be exact since Rian is in the same room as them.

They can't destroy the image Sunghoon chose to be for Rian with that issue. So even though they are a bit uncomfortable about it... Okay maybe they are really uncomfortable, especially Jay who is feeling the stares he receives from his girlfriend from the other group, they smile and laugh when Sunghoon would act shy. Though, they didn't tease the ravenette just like before, because they already knew what's up behind the scenes, behind the cameras.

Rian on the other hand, didn't want to look at them. It's just, it feels not right. She's hurting while thinking about the fans, favoring that ship. Wanting that ship to be true.

"You know, you can look away and pretend talking with me or just play with my hands to distract yourself. " She heard Eunjung whispered close to her ear. She glance at her bandmate  then smiled and nodded.

Rian know that. She can pretend as if she was doing something so she can avoid looking at them, but that would be obvious. Especially when they were involved in an issue not too long ago. So despite the urge to look away, she didn't. She watch them so casually, just like what she was trained for.

Besides, they are just a ship. A ship that doesn't exist. Sunghoon is already taken and is married to her for four years now. So she shouldn't be hurting. Plus she's already carrying his child so she should calm down and act professional.

Sunghoon looked back to his members and to her. Rian, once again, smiled. A smile saying that it's okay, that it won't affect her. And she is trying.

"For everyone who doesn't know, " The blonde host said, standing beside Sunghoon on the side to not block the other idols on the camera. "They are the most popular ship since they were partnered to be music banks emcees. " He added.

Rian looked at Wonyoung then back to Sunghoon. I know. Indeed, she's very aware.

"And also the only ship that is actually real. " The brunette added.

Rian's brow furrowed. It wasn't intention, it actually moved on it's own as confusion written all over her face. Though, that only lasts for a split seconds as she was reminded that they are in front of many cameras and is being filmed. And let's not forget about the fact that it's live.

But deep in her mind, she was distracted. Confused at what the host just had said. Ship that us actually real? Did she hear it wrong or the host made a grammar error?

Rian felt Eunjung squeezed her hand while looking at her worriedly. But this time, Rian can't smile. She's too confused and distracted to smile.

"Right, mate. For everyone who didn't know, Wonyoung-ssi and Sunghoon-ssi here was announced to be in a relationship on the other day. And they started dating since... " The host looked at them, giving them the hint to continue his sentence.

"Last year. " Wonyoung answered sweetly with a polite smile.

"Wow, it must be tough hiding it from the public. One year is already long. " The host commented and the two idol smiled as an answer.

Rian on the other hand, didn't know what to feel. She already tore her gaze from them whilst doing her best to calm herself and stayed focus.

She's overwhelmed. She's disappointed, feeling betrayed, sad. A lot of emotions are mixing in her system which isn't good.

Her breath's hitching, heart breaking. Tears wanted to come out from her eyes but she's doing her best to hold it in.

Maybe that's the reason why he was distant...
