Forever Love

Farewell

After thinking hard, she finally made her final decision. She called her manager, Gi Tae. Asking him for a help to end the contract earlier a few months than the usual date. She didn't tell the exact reason for that, but she only mention she wish to volunteer for those in need. That was one of her bucket list and she wish to fulfill it really soon.

Since it's a sudden decision that she made, Gi Tae can only assure of ending the contract within a day or two. On the exact date, she went to meets up with Myeok PD in the early morning and informed him that she wanted to leave the show.

"Why so sudden, Ji Hyo? I thought you like to be in the show?" Myeok PD was anxious of her sudden decision. He never heard of her leaving the show ever since she's a permanent member in the show. He just knew her well and he knows that she really enjoy being part of the show.

"I just... I don't feel of joining anymore. Age is catching up.." She gave a fake reason of leaving. She tried to give a smile though it's hard for her. "Joo Hyung-ah.. You need a better member to replace me."

"But.. That wouldn't replace the original Ace that we knew in the show. It's going to be tough for us." Myeok PD closed his eyes and thinks hardly, he looked at Ji Hyo and asked another question. "Do you prefer of taking one last episode before you leave?"

She has to say no, though she really wanted to participate one last time before she leaves. She's afraid of changing her mind if she decided to be on the show. "I'm afraid not. I'm flying overseas by this week. As soon as I end my contract."

"And you only let me know by today??? Oh god..." Myeok PD raised his both hands as if he the lone survivor that surrenders in a huge war.

"I'm sorry for the sudden decision." She apologized. All she know that she got to leave really soon, before the other members finds out, including Kwang Soo himself.

Myeok PD put out a loud sigh and voiced out. "You know... At least you should let us know earlier, so we can have a farewell dinner or something." His tone sounded different, but it's because of Ji Hyo's decision to leave the show. It wouldn't feel the same when one member left the show. Myeok PD wasn't considerate about the dropped rating, but he just wanted all members to stay around, to the very end of the show.

She scratched her head and asked for a favor from her good friend. "I still haven't let the others know about it. Can you let them know when they are here for the shooting?"

"Alright then, Ji Hyo. But I would say that they wouldn't be please of that. Can you come over in another hour? So I can prepare the papers of your resignation?" She nodded as an agreement without thinking twice. She didn't have plans on her schedule after all. "Well I guess we can have it once you are back right?" Myeok PD asked, about the farewell dinner.

"Yeah.. Definitely.. It's good to be part of the team in the show. Especially with you, Myeok PD." She gave him a long hug, an appreciation for allowing her to be part of the show. Eventually, he gave as well. He patted on her back gently and speak.

"I'm going to miss you, Ji Hyo. Thanks for your hard work in the show for all these years."

She actually hadn't plan well about her life. She just knew that she need to leave everything that she had in this country. Her family was shock to hear that she's going overboard without notifying them earlier.

She packed her luggage after meeting up with Myeok PD, getting ready for her upcoming plan. Her luggage was actually empty. She just packed a few clothing that she need for herself and that's it. She sealed her luggage and placed it aside. Her first stop will be to Philippines, where she wished to visit Dave who lived in Baseco.
