Maybe Someday....

Song- Song Couple

"Kwang Soo, I need you to do me another favor. You know after this I'll probably be more busy than ever and I want to take this chance with noona." Joong Ki was pleading with his friend. He is afraid of what might be the outcome but he is determined to finally confess to Ji Hyo.

He was smitten with her the first time he saw her during the filming of Frozen Flower. He was just an extra back then but became good friends with lead actor Jo In Sung.

So when she joined Running Man, he was overjoyed. Unfortunately Gary hyung made vocal his feelings for her thus the Monday Couple was born. He tried interjecting himself not because he wants to have more airtime but because he really wants to be near her always.

"Joong Ki ya, do you think she's ready after all she 's still mending her broken heart." Kwang Soo had given up any hopes for him and Ji Hyo noona. He cares for her but love is the farthest thing from his mind right now. He doesn't want to ruin his friendship with his noona and she only saw him as a dongsaeng.

"You know I've waited for a long time. I'm really serious about her. She may see me as a dongsaeng but I've matured a lot since then. I don't want to miss this moment again wondering what if, right?" Joong Ki is really serious. He wants to take the risk. If she doesn't return his feelings, at least he tried and he can move on.

"Okay, I trust you with her. You are both my friends and I know you can make her happy. She will feel awkward if it's only the two of you so I'll be there then I'll just make an excuse so you can be alone with her. How's that?" Kwang Soo suggested.

" Gomawo, Kwang Soo ssi."

-------------------------

"Come in, welcome Joong Ki, it's been a long time. I miss the three of us sharing moments like this." Ji Hyo hug both of them and led them to her living room. They prepare the food and drinks and just sit comfortably laughing with each other's stories.

"Noona, Sorry but my manager keeps texting me. He wants to see me about something. Is it okay to leave you two?" Kwang Soo ask Ji Hyo. He was really happy for his friend. It's hard keeping such feelings for so long.

"Aww Kwang Soo we are having such a great time. Why do you have to ruin it." She slaps his arm playfully.

"Yaa Kwang Soo I'll take care of noona. You go ahead with your business." Joong Ki says jokingly.

"Arasso... go.. go.. You will be sorry. Joong Ki and I will surely have a good time." Ji Hyo stands to see Kwang Soo out.

"I know, but you will miss me. Joong Ki, fighting!" He told his friend laughing out loud before going.

The two of them continue talking ang sharing stories. Ji Hyo was comfortable with Joong Ki. He is still fun to be with but also very sweet. She actually miss having him around.

"I miss this, Joong Ki. We used to have a lot of fun before. Although I can see, you matured a lot and you really look better now, more manly." Ji Hyo was surprise to see him after his discharge. He bulk a little and it really suits him.

"Yaa noona, you are making me blush." They both laugh so hard it brought tears to their eyes. Suddenly Joong Ki hold Ji Hyo's hand.

"Noona, I really missed you." He told her seriously. He looks directly into her eyes.

" Why so serious Joong Ki. Lets enjoy this moment, we may not have time again in the future after this."

"Uhm noona, do you ever see me as a man?" Joong Ki thought that it was now or never. He needs to let it all out once and for all.

"Yaa Joong Ki, why are you asking me that." Ji Hyo is suddenly conscious. She feels blushing by what he said.

"I'm serious noona. I guess you had a clue about how I feel." He bow his head, he is very nervous about confessing.

"I... I..." She actually stuttered. She was lost for words. After everything that happened to her this past months, she was actually surprise that someone will have the courage to confess to her.

"Give me a chance noona. I really feel deeply for you. I know you don't take me seriously because I am younger than you but I am serious. Saranghae Ji Hyo noona." He squeeze her hand and look at her deeply. He wants to gather her in his arms but he knows he had no right. He can see the confusion on her face.

"I don't want to burden you with my confession noona. I am not asking you to feel anything for me. I just want a chance. If in the end you won't feel the same way, I will respect your decision and I will not take it against you. I will still be your friend." He was pouring out his heart now. There is no going back. He is ready to get hurt even.

"Joong Ki...." Ji Hyo embrace him. She is confused. She likes him but she didn't really look at him as a man. She knows the burden of loving someone and not be loved in return. She saw herself when she confessed with Dong Wook. She didn't want him to feel how she felt that day when he rejects her.

"I am grateful for your affections Joong Ki. You've been a friend to me and I care for you too. But I can't promise you anything or encourage you. I'm at a point in my life were I want to have a man in my life but you, you still have so much ahead of you. If we date, your career will be ruined and I won't wish for you that." She told him quietly while embracing him still. She wants him to feel her sincerity. She doesn't want to reject him at once but needs to be honest for both their sake.

"I know noona, you just got hurt by someone. I'm not asking you to date me or anything just let me love you and show you my intention. I won't lie to you and pretend that you are just a friend. When I see you, I want you to know that I'm here to be more than just your friend." He was anxious now. Noona is afraid to hurt him. But all he needs is a chance.

Ji Hyo release him and look at him. She didn't say anything for a while. She is thinking of giving him a chance but she's scared to hurt him in the end.

"Joong Ki.... Alright I won't stop you from showing me your intentions. I will give you a chance but I can't promise you anything. I don't know if it's right and I don't want to give false hopes but I will try to see you as a man."
