Second Life

Chapter 5 - Follow Your Will

After six months, Jongkook still looks blank. The Running Man members also noticed his behavior from 6 months until now.

Now, Jongkook finally talks to Jihyo.

Jihyo-ya! - Jongkook

Wae? - Jihyo

Someone's bothering me... - Jongkook...

Nugu? Is it Eunhye!? If she is, I'll kill you! - Jihyo

It's not like that... - Jongkook

Then who is she? If it is a girl? - Jihyo

She's someone you don't know, Jihyo-ya! - Jongkook

Why don't I know since you're mine? Are you keeping secrets from me? - Jihyo

Aniya... it's just....... Jihyo-ya, she was my first love! - Jongkook

Ahhhhh.... - Jihyo

There's also one thing.... - Jongkook...

MWO!? HAVING A SECRET ADMIRER!? - Jihyo

Aniya.... she is..... That girl is Kang Gary's bestfriend.... - Jongkook

Ahhhh - Jihyo

Wae, Jihyo-ya? Is there something wrong? - Jongkook

I just remembered........ about him leaving me behind... - Jihyo

So are you telling me that you should be the only one that Gary likes? - Jongkook

Ne..... - Jihyo

You know, Jihyo-ya.... Both of us were wrong.... - Jongkook

About what? Having a relationship with each other? - Jihyo

Aniya... It's about us blaming him... You blamed him yesterday why you cried, when he was letting you go as the one he likes.... You're just giving him a hard time to love you crazily, while you can't do the same and did it to me instead.... - Jongkook

While I..... I just punched him because I also blamed him... We were just the one who made him looked like an idiot..... He was even sarsastic a while ago, when making up with him.... Jihyo-ya, plss.... Let's be honest.... Do you like Gary as your brother? Or as your man? - Jongkook....

Jihyo became speechless....

Okay... I shouldn't know it... I think you either don't know what to answer..... so.... when you find your answer from yourself, let's do it, okay? - Jongkook

Jihyo nods...

Later on, Jihyo goes to the mall just to wander herself.... But then, she sees Gary walking happily with Mira.... She looks so sad seeing him so happy with someone.... She felt guilty for not loving him back as her man, but undeniably, she really loves Jongkook as her man....

She doesn't know, but she looks so upset when Gary is with someone....

Later on, Gary and Mira see her, so they approach her...

Jihyo-ya! - Gary

Oh, oppa! - Jihyo

Why are you here? - Mira

I'm just..... wandering myself here... - Jihyo

But where is Jongkook-hyung? - Gary

In the gym.... - Jihyo

Ohhhh I see... I was about to ask that why is he not with you... but it's already fine... - Gary

Ahhhhhh... - Jihyo

Since you're here, then can you eat with us, unni? - Mira

No need.... I'm just here to go shopping and wander here.... - Jihyo

Ehhhhh.... If you don't come with us, then we can't be friends! - Mira

Gary and Jihyo laugh.

Ya! You even scared me just to be with you! - Jihyo

Of course! I know that you like it too, but you refuse because Gary oppa is here? Don't worry, he'll not look desperate anymore just to win you, okay? He just moved on, and you're now free to love your Jongkook-oppa, and of course, Gary-oppa is also free to find someone else as his woman, right? - Mira

Gary agrees at her statement, but Jihyo gives her a fake nod....

So go with us, unni! - Mira

Ne.... - Jihyo

Gary secretly smiles because he knew that she had straighten it to the point....

They go eat to Gary's restaurant... While they eat, Gary and Mira wipe each other their mouth by tissue whenever they have dirt... Jihyo looks so upset without her knowing....

Unni? - Mira

Unni! - Mira that made Jihyo to come into her senses

Wae? - Jihyo

Jihyo-ya, are you okay? Is there something that bothers you? - Gary

Jihyo thought, "Ne, and it's the two of you!"

I'm okay, oppa... Don't worry about me... - Jihyo

Eiiiiiiii!!!! You're lying!!! So what is it? - Gary

Tell us.... so we can help you... - Mira

It's just.... Jongkook-oppa.... - Jihyo

What about him? - Gary

He just.... met his first love.... - Jihyo

Mwo!? - both Gary and Mira

Did he have a first love!? - Gary

Ne..... - Jihyo

Then who is she? - Mira

I don't know.... He didn't tell me about her.... But she's your friend, oppa! - Jihyo

Huh?! - both Gary and Mira

I have many girl bestfriends, so who among them? - Gary

I never know.... - Jihyo

So.... how about your relationship with him? - Mira

What will you do? Will you continue to try being with him and loving him as a man? - Gary

Did you know? - Jihyo

About what? - Gary

The reason why we can't be together? - Jihyo

Ne.... - Gary

Ahhhhh.... He told you anything... - Jihyo

So what will you do now, unni? Being with him or not? - Mira

Aishhhh!!! Mollaaaa!!! - Jihyo

You know, Jihyo-ya.... As someone who experienced things like this, just follow what your heart wants.... You don't need to suffer just because of thinking, but follow what your heart wants because feelings come from your heart.... So..... I hope it will help you since it came from my experience.... - Gary

Mira secretly smiled as if she knows that what Gary said was about it came from his experience that he followed his heart just to forget Jihyo...

So about you, moving on to me..... Is that what your heart wanted to say? - Jihyo

PS: What will Gary answer?
