Maybe Someday....

Going Public

Dong Wook couldn't believe what is happening. It feels like all his dreams are coming true with just one kiss and that one word.

"Tell me It's not a dream Ji Hyo, you really said you love me? " His face is still full of wonder. He can still feel her soft lips on his.

"Saranghae Dong Wook.. I tried to bury this feeling because I am scared but it's just futile. I don't know when it happened but I do love you. I've thought about it and weigh my feelings for you, I don't know where this love will take us but I am willing to risk my heart. I am still scared cause I don't want to get hurt again" He could see there's fear in her eyes and all he could think about is erasing all the doubts she has for him. He sits closer to her and held her face so she could focus on him.

"This is both new to us Ji Hyo. I also don't know what will happen in the future but I am sure of my love for you. Nothing and no one can change that." And then he lowers his face to capture her lips with his. He kissed her with all his passion. He wants her to feel his longing for her.

They continue kissing for a while. He lift his head to look at her. They were lying on her couch with him on top of her. They both catch their breath. He caress her face while his other hand hugs her waist.

"Saranghae Ji Hyo... I've always been in love with you. You are the best thing that happened to me." His heart is overflowing with so much happiness he wish this moment will never end.

They spend that night just talking, cuddling and making up for the lost times.

"But Wookie what will happen now. Are we going to tell everyone about our relationship?" Ji Hyo is still skeptical. He has a lot of jealous fans. And some of hers are also very protective of her. Her Monday Couple fans will surely be the most affected of them. But just seeing Wookie on her side smiling to her with so much love, she felt ready to face any backlash from the world.

"I think we should keep this to ourselves at this point. We could tell those who are closest to us. I don't think it's the right time yet to tell the public." He didn't know what will happen but they will deal with it when it comes.

"Let's just enjoy what we have and worry about it later. I want to date you properly Ji Hyo." He was lying with his head on her lap while she is caressing his hair.

"Arasso, let's just do that. I think my Running Man family should know. I don' t want them to think I don't trust them after all they have always been there to protect me." She was a little disappointed but keeping their relationship a secret is the best option for now. They can still date because people know they are bestfriends and sometimes they do go out.

"Yes of course. Gary Hyung should know specially. I know he still has feelings for you. I want him to know that you are off limits from now on." Then he raise his head to kiss her again. He wouldn't get tired kissing her soft lushious lips.

"Wae? Don't tell me you're jealous of Gary oppa? Omo, you know it's just for the show. He didn't really like me. He is just sweet like that." She said blushing after their lingering kiss.

"You are so dense sometimes, you really live up to your name mong. Only the blind can't see that Gary hyung is smitten with you. He is always wary of me whenever I am guest on Running Man." Dong Wook said to her in wonder. She is really naive. She didn't know how beautiful she is. A lot of their male guests are captivated by her beauty as well as her fierce personality. He feels honored to know the real Ji Hyo, behind that competitive facade is a really sweet and loyal woman.

The days that followed seem blissful to Ji Hyo and Dong Wook. Ji Hyo told her Running Man family about her and Dong Wook. They really are happy for them. They have sensed from the start that they will end up eventually.

"Yaa Ji Hyo, I knew it. I've seen how Dong Wook cares for you and he was always there to help you." Jae Suk happily congratulate her.

" I feel sorry for Dong Wook hyung, he will surely be a battered boyfriend." Kwang Soo teased his noona. He was happy for her because he can see that she is really in love with Dong Wook.

"Yaa Kwang Soo how could you say that." Then she punch him in the arm causing laughter from them. Ji Hyo notice Gary a few feet away from them just looking dejected. She thought he was acting again just like all the times when she was paired with other male guest.

"Gary oppa, you know we will always be the Monday Couple right. Thank you oppa for taking care of me always." She sits beside him and hold his arm.

"I can't say I'm truly happy for you because I would be a hypocrite. But I want you to know that I will still be here for you. My heart will be at ease knowing Dong Wook will take care of you. " Gary said while holding her hand.

At that moment Dong Wook arrived to fetch Ji Hyo. He saw her talking with Gary with his hand on hers. He restrain himself from his jealousy.

"Yeobo, Are you finish taping? " He called to her loudly causing not only the cast members but all the staff and crew to look at him. They were surprised by what he said. Ji Hyo is the only girl there so they all knew he was referring to her. The staff were all exchanging looks and whispering with each other.

"Yaa Wookie what are you talking about." Ji Hyo hurriedly went to his side and glared at him.

"What do you think you're doing, shouting things like that. You know not everyone here can be trusted with news like that." She scolded him while looking around them. But Dong Wook just put his arms around her and kiss her softly on her lips.

"But why yeobo? I want everyone here to know since some of them might not believe you are my girlfriend." Then he glance Gary's way. Ji Hyo just elbowed him while blushing with embarrassment.

"Daebak! Way to go Dong Wook." Haha pat his back while laughing.

" Yaa Wookie I didn't know you are romantic. You make our Ji Hyo blushed." Suk Jin teased the new couple.

"Uhm you two, are you ready to make this public? You can't just call her yeobo and kiss her without anyone here not leaking this or worse capturing you both on camera."Jae Suk is concerned for both of them.

"We will just deal with it when it happens." Dong Wook answered him.
