HyunJi 2020 Buil Film Awards

To Protect the One He loves

Sitting in the car, Soo Hyun was glad that he was able to lift Ye Ji's spirits. He saw what happened while watching the ceremony live. He wanted so badly to protect Ye Ji from any harmful and malicious comments from KNetizens. He blamed himself for not insisting that they stay in the changing room so that the stylist can still make changes to her gown.

As Ye Ji continued to walk down the red carpet to attend the award ceremony, Soo Hyun called the person-in-charge of media and publicity in their agency, Gold Medalist, to make sure that all videos and pictures of the moment that Ye Ji tripped, and any posts that compromised the modesty of his Ye Ji, be asked to be taken down. This was his way of protecting her.

He called Manager Ryu and told him to pass the Alexander Mcqueen Jacket to Ye Ji before the ceremony started. He knew that Ye Ji didn't like the cold much, and the jacket would help with her insecurity about the gown as well.

Knowing that she would be thinking about the incident that happened, he texted her. In his own goofy manner, he wanted to assure her that he was there for her even though he was not physically there at the ceremony.

"I will protect you." That was the promise he gave her when he made up his mind to confess his feelings to her. He had held a torch for her since they met in 2014 for a commercial, but he did not have the courage to pursue her then. They kept in contact through the years, but it was only after his military enlistment ended, that he plucked up his courage to confess to her and pursued her fiercely. He wasn't someone who made such promises lightly. Furthermore, after waiting for 6 years, it was clear to him that she was dearer to him than anyone else and he intended to hold on to this promise of protecting her, all his life.

He was relieved that Ye Ji replied to his messages swiftly. "Thank God for the pocket in that gown! At least it served its purpose!" he muttered.

It was heart-wrenching to receive a message from Ye Ji at this time when she needed him most, that she missed him. He wanted to leave the car, budge into the ceremony and embrace her in his arms. But that was not possible for now. They both made an agreement to not go public about their relationship yet. He couldn't wait for the day he could proudly tell the world that Seo Ye Ji is his girlfriend. But he made a promise to her, that he would wait, for her to accomplish what she wanted. And he honoured and respected her decision.

Notbeing able to do anything, he sighed. "At least, she gets to read my messagesand hopefully that has kept her mind off the negative thoughts," he thought tohimself. He continued to watch the live broadcast of the ceremony in the car,looking forward to seeing Ye Ji's face on the screen.

Note: 

Hi friends, took a while to finalise some stuff as I realised some information need to be readjusted or changed for the ending. But, because of that, what I initially thought would be 7-8 chapters became 11 chapters! The story is saved and I will post up the chapters when I'm free. Meanwhile, happy shipping Kim Soo Hyun and Seo Ye Ji together! HyunJi Forever~
