Maybe Someday....

Ever After

**************

Author's Note:

This is the last chapter of this story. Thank you for taking the time to read. I am a huge fan of Running Man especially Song Ji Hyo since the first time I watched the show. I am writing another story about them but this time it's pure fictional.

I hope you will vote for the story and comment as well. I will write a glossary so that those who do not know Running Man and some Korean words can still follow the flow of the story.

Kamsahamnida.

******************

"...Will you marry me?" Dong Wook ask hopefully to Ji Hyo. Finally he was able to say those words. He remembered the past weeks that happened while preparing everything to make this exact moment happen.

After much thinking and planning, Dong Wook finally think it is the right time. He needs to make their relationship public. He talked with his manager and his management about having a press conference. He told them everything about his plans.

At first they were hesitant but seeing they can't dissuade him, they finally have given him their blessings. He is willing to risk his career for Ji Hyo.

"Chukahaeyo Dong Wook. Although I am not sure this will be good for your career but I can see that you really love her that much for you to risk your career like this. I will support you in your decision." His manager shook his hand.

"Kamsahamnida."

He consult his family about his decision. They actually love Ji Hyo so it went smoothly with them. They were encouraging him to be with her for the longest time.

"Kamsahamnida eomma. I know you will always support me especially when it comes to decisions like this." He kissed his mom on the cheek.

Then he talked to his friends and they were all happy for him. They even help him plan for the surprise he was going to give Ji Hyo. They've been planning for months already and soon everything will be settled. All he need is to talk with her parents.

He went to Pohang to personally talk to Ji Hyo's parents. He wants to have their blessing from them.

"Annyeonghasseo abeoji, eomeoni. I am here to ask for your blessings. I love your daughter so much and I want to take care of her. We are old and stable enough. I am asking permission to have your daughter's hand in marriage." Dong Wook seriously ask Ji Hyo's parents while formally bowing down. They knew him already and they considered him part of the family already because of his friendship with Ji Hyo.

They happily gave him their blessings. And then he told them of his plan to propose to her. They go along with it and even conspired with their relatives about his plan. He was really happy that finally everything is settled.

"Kamsahamnida abeoji and eomeoni. I promise to love Ji Hyo and make her happy the best that I could. Thank you for trusting me with your daughter." They embrace and said their goodbyes.

He booked the hotel and made his agency inform the press about the conference. He then remember he has no ring yet so he went to one of the luxurious jewelry shop in Seoul and find the best engagement ring for Ji Hyo.

"Now, all I need is telling her."

_____________________

Ji Hyo is stunned by Wookie's proposal. She felt the tears flowing in her eyes. She never imagine something like this would happen when Dong Wook called her early this morning.

~Yeoboseyo?~

~ Yeobo I need you to go to Grand Hyatt Seoul. We are having press conference there around 2pm. Just be there okay. Saranghae.~ She didn't even have the chance to reply because Wookie already hang up the phone.

It's almost 10am, she only had 4 hours to prepare. She went to the parlor right away. She was nervous and keeps on fidgeting on her seat. She can't believe Dong Wook didn't informed her sooner about having a press conference.

After having her hair and make up done she went back to her house. She tried calling Wookie but her calls were just forwarded to voice mail. She was anxious about what will happen. She just wears a simple white dress to the event and then went on her way to the hotel.

And now looking at Wookie down on his knees with the most elegant yet simple ring on his hand, she becomes speechless. All she can do is cry because of her overflowing happiness and love for him.

"Yaa yeobo, please stop crying and answer me. I am sweating with nervousness here." Wookie said which makes some of the guest laugh at him. Ji Hyo wipe her tears and smile at him. She helps him stand and then held her finger for him.

"Ne, I will marry you. Saranghae." And Dong Wook slip the ring on her finger before kissing her tenderly but briefly on her lips. A loud cheering can be heard all around them. They were all congratulating the couple. They believe it as one of the most romantic proposal they have witnessed that some of them are so touched they were crying too.

"Daebak. Your proposal is one of the best I've witnessed so far. Chukahae." Jae Suk while shaking Wookie's hand.

"Take care of noona or else I will take her away from you. Arasso?" Kwang Soo threatened jokingly. He is really happy for his noona although he felt a little brokenhearted but her happiness is what matters most to him.

"Yaa Ji Hyo I bet you were really surprised. You look stunning in your white dress. I almost thought you were going to marry him today. Chukahae." Suk Jin embrace her. She was like a daughter to him and she is really grateful for all their love and support to her.

All her family in Running Man congratulated them except for Kang Gary who is in China for a show but he sent a congratulatory flowers.

"Gomawo. It makes me grateful to see all of you here to share our happiness." Ji Hyo wipe a tear that fall from her eyes. She is bursting with happiness.

"Kamsahamnida. You all have been very good to Ji Hyo and to me. You accepted me as one of you and I'm grateful to all of you for always taking care of her." Dong Wook bow his head to all of them.

Ji Hyo saw Joong Ki and she approach him first.

"I'm happy you are here. I'm sorry if I can't return your feelings but I appreciate your love for me. I am grateful because you always look after me. You will always be my favorite dongsaeng." She embraces him tenderly.

"I know you will find that special someone for you. Just remember noona is always here."

"Chukahae noona. Don't worry about me. Your happiness will always be my priority. I know that Dong Wook hyung will make you happy. I will always be here for you still no matter what." Joong Ki said seriously. He still loves her but he already accepted that she loves someone else. He is happy as long as she is.

Dong Wook saw Joong Ki and Ji Hyo talking and he gave them a few minutes of privacy and then he approach them and hold her hand.

"Gomawo Joong Ki for being supportive to your noona." And they shook hands.

The celebration continued with their families and friends present. And finally they all went home. Dong Wook stayed at Ji Hyo's place that night. They are finally alone. Their happiness is overflowing.

"I can't believe after everything that happened between us, we will be reaching this point in our lives. The struggles and heartaches we've been through are all worth it because I've got to keep you in my life." Ji Hyo lovingly stroke Wookies arm that embraces her. They were lying side by side with their arms around each other on her couch.

"I'm so happy that finally you are really mine. I can't wait for us to be married and wake up every morning with you by my side. I will love you with everything that I am Ji Hyo. You can trust me that I will be loyal to you and will never break your trust in me. It's only you in my heart. Saranghae."

"I will always be thankful to you Wookie for loving me this much. I am the happiest woman on earth right now and I promise you that you are the only man in my heart. Saranghae."

And they kissed happily ever after.
