Ji Hyo suddenly wakes up, suprised that she was in the hospital and it was just a dream, so she heaved a sigh of relief.

Only Haha and Jong Kook stayed till late and were shocked and glad that Ji Hyo woke up.

'The doctor says that you're lucky to survive, Ji Hyo yah. I'm gonna call the doctor now,' Jong Kook smiled.

'Thanks oppa', Ji Hyo smiled weakly.

Jong Kook left, leaving Haha and Ji Hyo alone in the room.

'Are you okay? Haha asked with concern.

'Yeah.. I think so. Anyway thank you and Jong Kook oppa for staying till so late', Ji Hyo looked at Haha.

'No problem. Ji Hyo, remember last time I confessed my love to you? I really like you, and after this incident, i don't want to lose you', Haha smiled and held Ji Hyo's hand tightly.

Ji Hyo was shocked, not knowing what to say.

(Flashback starts)

In the past, when they were kids, Ji Hyo was always playing with Haha because Haha's family was poor and he had no friends. On top of that, his mother died when he was young.

Haha: *sobs*
Ji Hyo: What happened? -confused-
Haha: My mommy died *sobs*
Ji Hyo: Don't be sad, i will play with you. Come catch me!

Just like that, Haha developed feelings for Ji Hyo. On the other hand, Ji Hyo did not know whether she liked Haha or it was just purely sympathy towards him.

(End of flashback)

'Haha oppa, I…' Ji Hyo realised this situation was similar to the one in her dream.

Just then, Jong Kook and the doctor walked in. Haha quickly loosened his grip on Ji Hyo's hand.

But Jong Kook saw Haha holding Ji Hyo's hand and pretended he didn't know.

The doctor examined Ji Hyo and says she is fine but she needs to rest in the hospital for the next few days. The three running man members thanked the doctor and the doctor left.

'Ji Hyo, we'll visit you tomorrow we gotta go', Jong Kook said, while pulling Haha with him with force.

'Bye Ji Hyo', Haha stared at Ji Hyo with love.

'Bye Jong Kook and Haha oppa!' Ji Hyo smiled at Jong Kook but avoided Haha's glance.
