Reactive Love

Ga Jok

-Ga Jok/가족 which stands for 'Family'in Korean. :)

It was an unfortunate day for Kwang Soo and Jae Suk. The first scene where Kwang Soo received a lump on his forehead, then they were stuck in the jam for almost 2 hours. Plus, the snow poured heavily on the ground that there was a road block when they are about to arrive at their location scene.

The runners were worried of them both that they decided to give a call. Ji Hyo was the first who caught sight of the unpunctual members, approaching under the heavy snow. Kwang Soo slowly reduced his high speed to catch his breath and started coughing.

"Are you alright, Kwang Soo?? Why are you both late at this hour?" She asked while stroking on his back with care. Her eyesight later turned at Jae Suk who was fighting for breath as well due to the long run. "Oppa... Shouldn't you be the one to take good care of our Kwang Soo from being covered with snow?"

Taken aback with the Ace's words, Jae Suk defended himself. "What did you say? Come on, Ji Hyo. I'm not his bodyguard or something. I'm just his hyung who tried his best to make sure that he is still in one piece." "Even when hes with Yuri back then, I was the one who suggest him those romantic-"

Suk Jin's eyes were widened as Jae Suk spilled out the word about Kwang Soo's past love. He quickly elbowed Jae Suk to ended him from completing the sentence.

Jae Suk disremembered that Kwang Soo was deeply hurt with the breaking incident. He went speechless and smacked his lips as a penalty.

Gary then tiptoe and placed his arm on the Kwang Soo's shoulder. Giving him a smile and tried to change the topic from any awkward situation occur.

"Ya-Hyung!! How can you said about that in front of our God of Variety? "Gary blamed for Jae Suk's big mouth. He gets how Kwang Soo felt especially when it comes to dating life. "Come on, giraffe. Give him a big slap on his face as a punishment. We will cheer for you."

"Kwang Soo.. Mian hae. Blame my big mouth!! Slap me if you want. Bring it on!!" Jae Suk took Kwang Soo's left hand and place it next to his cheek. Closing his eyes hardly and brace himself for a slap from the youngest member.

Suk Jin had seen Kwang Soo grown for the past 3 years. He may be well-known as the betrayer, yet he's a wonderful dongseang that he knew in his life. He too, marched forward, stepping into the conversation as well.

"Do it, Kwang Soo!!! Me and Haha will celebrate it after you give a slap on Jae Suk. There will be a great history in the Betrayer Club."

Kwang Soo who is a kind-hearted guy couldn't bare to hit Jae Suk. Instead of punishing, he insisted of giving a hug. "I can't hit you, hyung. Never in my live..."

The dumbfounded Jae Suk was noticed by the others. He was unexpected with the hug that Kwang Soo gave.

"Please accept my hug. I felt much better since I drank last night. Thank you... All of you. For being concern towards me. You really treat me like a family although I keep betraying you over and over again just to win the gold."

Kwang Soo paused for a moment, finding himself that there was a tears slowly flowed from his eye. He quickly wiped it off before he gets back into his words. "When I fist turned up in the variety show, I lose my confidence that I almost resigned from Running Man. Each of you. Actually stopped me from doing that."

Kwang Soo's voice are hardened even more. From his words, each of them recalled the time where Kwang Soo was still a freshman in the entertainment industry, how tough he tried to amused his producers and staff members. It must be firm for him since he was a shy guy till none of them takes notice of him.

"Like how Gary hyung told me how he faced those obstacles after been criticized that he too almost left Running Man. Jae Suk hyung as well mentioned that it took 10 years for him just to achieved his goal." He closed his teary eyes and swallows his saliva hardly before continue his words. "I.... Really want to thank all of you for your help and consideration since a few years back, but I didn't get the chance till now. Allow me to give a huge respect to all of you..."

His words really touched their heart till Ji Hyo who was behind Gary began to sobbed. Suk Jin quickly took out a packet of tissue from his pocket and handed her a piece to wiped off her teary eyes.

They nodded as they appreciate him with his words. Giving Kwang Soo a big applause before gathering in circle to give each other a big hug.

"Remember everyone.. No matter what, we are still a family. Do remember that for the rest of your life. Even if any of us left Running Man, lets just stick together." Jae Suk said,reminding the others to not forget each other.

The surrounding went silence till Kwang Soo started to sneeze due to the cold weather. Ji Hyo offered her jacket and draped it on his shoulder to keep him warm enough. Gary seems a little envious that he started to bragged in.

"Ya-Mong Ji!!! Why did you offered that to him? Shouldn't you give it to me? I'm your Monday Couple after all." He pouted cutely while kept his eyes locked on Ji Hyo. Trying to get some attention from his Monday partner. She sulked to make Gary jealous even more.

"What's that?!! Why can't I? Why are you jealous about that anyway?" Ji Hyo then gaze at Suk Jin and started complaining of Gary for such an immature man.

Suk Jin,the middleman in between those two kids went speechless. Expressing out his blur expression. The two reminded Suk Jin of his past where he first have a huge crush on his wife after been introduced by Jae Suk. They both really fought several times, still their love were never faded from their heart.

"Sorry everyone but we need to get ready with the filming for now. Please excuse me and Kwang Soo for a few minutes." Jae Suk said while taking off his jacket to get himself ready with the outfit that was well prepared by the staff earlier.

"Look at the KwangSuk couple... They are a perfect match aren't they?? I hope that we are filming about couple race again. With those young ladies as the guests..." Haha who began to teased the two men which was wearing the same t-shirt color for today, black and white stripes.

"Get over it, hyung. You are now Byul's. Maybe we should invite her to film with us someday. I guess we have to create a fresh race game about bromance couple. Then I can get to be with my Mong Ji. My wish will finally come true!!!" Gary wished to be Ji Hyo's partner for the upcoming episode. He felt like floating in the air by now, trapped in the magical world with Ji hyo's presence.

"Ya-Kang Gary!! What do you think am I?? You cant steal my heart away just like that. I'm the ACE!!" She pulled Gary's ear closer to her, leading the peaceful guy who screamed in pain. "And the Ace will never fall in love with you easily!!" She continued.

Jae Suk and Kwang Soo quickly left the scene and get themselves changed. Suk Jin at the same time pulled off his smartphone and send a message to his wife that he will be arriving late for dinner tonight.

Slowly he spotted Ji Hyo who was standing alone at the corner, looked like waiting for someone's arrival. At first he had the mind that she's waiting for Gary. But Gary was on the other direction with Haha and Jong Kook.

Kwang Soo was the last member to get himself ready. He took off his cap to brush off the remaining snow trapped on it. Ji Hyo glanced at Kwang Soo for a moment before approaching to her dongsaeng.

"Yes noona?? What is it?" He asked who saw his noona with a frown on her face.

"Your.. Forehead. What happened?"

"Ooh.. Uhm. Nothing much. Just knocked myself clumsily this morning. Let's get ready with our filming right away. Time is ticking in every second." Ji Hyo nodded and helped him out to cover up the lump.

He thanked Ji Hyo for the help for these two days and promised her that he will treat her a meal later on. Her excited expression appeared that she grip on his wrist and drag him to join the others at the scene. What Suk Jin saw on their good relationship in between them, they aren't just like siblings. But it's deeper than that.
