Song Ji Hyo, let's date...for real!

Award Seasons - Part 1

Bzzz Bzzz! Ji Hyo's phone buzzed with the incoming phonecall. She picked up right away.

"Oh Ji Hyo-ya. What are you doing?"

"Annyeong. I'm on my way to Gangnam. Dress fitting. You?"

"Oh. I'm at the gym. You're going to HK next week for MAMA, right? Me too."

"Ah that's right. I guess we'll see each other there."

"How's your schedule after that? Should we extend our stay another day?"

"Hmmm, I don't think I can Wookie-ya~ I got RM filming on the next day then some CF filming too."

He sighed, "Alright... Got it. I just thought I'll try."

"Hmm, I guess we can try it next time. Have your manager sync the schedule with mine. Maybe it could work..." she tried consoling him.

"I guess.... I haven't seen you for more than a month though. I'm starting to forgot your face," he sulked.

"Haha, you should search me up then. But I think we'll see each other a lot this month. You're coming to Gayo Daejun and the Entertainment Awards too,right? Also, we could be on the same flight to HK."

"Hmm, I'm not sure about the Entertainment Awards. What about New Year's Eve? Should we go somewhere?"

"Wook-ah... I'm going to China for New Year's. There's this Chinese RM special event. I'm going with Suk Jin oppa."

"Oh I see... "

"Wook-ah... I also want to get some days off. But... You know. Where are you staying in HK? I'll get to see you if you stay in the same hotel. Should we arrange it? I'll ask Ki Bum, okay..."

Dong Wook lost his interest already, "Alright... I guess that could work."

"Can I call you back later? I'm here in Gangnam already. Have a good workout, Wookie-ya~"

"Oh. Bye..."

Dong Wook felt defeated. They haven't went out anywhere since he confessed. At most, he would see her at her place. The funny thing was, they used to go out for drinks and late dinners before. These days Ji Hyo's just way too busy for that kind of outing.

Sigh. Dong Wook texted his manager to arrange the same flight and hotel as Ji Hyo's for the HK MAMA trip. He went on to finish his work out that day. His manager called right after he finished his work out.

"Hyung, I've aranged what you asked me," his manager reported.

"Ah, okay that's good. That was easy."

"Hyung, actually it wasn't that easy. Her manager seemed reluctant to give the info at first. He had to check back with her. Actually Hyung, I don't think this is the best idea also. I mean, this one time is fine but... something bad could happen if you plan doing keep doing these sort of stuff. You understand right, Hyung?" the manager seemed worried.

"Oh... I got it. I'll take care of it. Don't worry," he hung up. Sigh. Nothing comes easy with this job, he thought.

The day of their departure to Hong Kong arrived. It was the beginning of December already. As usual Dong Wook and Ji Hyo went to get their hair and makeup done for the sake of getting their airport fashion photos taken. As the MAMA was a big deal, the reporters were sure to be at the airport to document their departures. Ji Hyo texted him while he was still at the beauty shop.

"Wook-ah, I'm going to the airport in a bit. I'll see you soon? We're on the same flight, right?"

"Oh, I'm leaving too in a bit. Just finishing up my hair. See you soon, Ji Hyo-ya~"
