It Began With a Gray Sky

Description

The story of spartace spanning from Ji Hyo's first episode to present. The transformation from idol-and-fan to awkward coworkers, from trusted allies to good friends, and from unrequited love to secret couple. Ji Hyo hated to admit it, but a part of her agreed with the silly, high school girl, "You have to. Love has no boundries on time."

Foreword

I've always wondered if spartace were secretly dating, how the relationship would have progressed. This story is sort of a theory as to their thoughts and feelings throughout Running Man, but obviously written in chapter format. It's slow burn spartace so don't expect dramatic declarations of love any time soon.

Note about language: I had a hard time deciding if I should use phoenetic Korean words in this story. However, certain parts of the language (and how it relates to spartace) cannot be expressed in English. I try to use as little phoenetic Korean as possible. What I do use is a sort of hybrid of English and Korean used mainly to express when people are speaking to each other formally and informally.

Disclaimer: This story is fictional. It draws on Running Man episodes and real world events, but anything added to the characters and show are entirely from my imagination. I am only a fan.

Final Note: Please leave a comment! I love hearing what readers think. It helps me know what I'm doing well, what I need to improve upon, and it motivates me to write. Leave a comment on every chapter, the chapters you like, or just the most recent chapters, but please, please, please leave a comment.

Chapter 26: It's such a pity that this story was not continued... I love it. I love the slow burn. And I love reading both Ji Hyo and Jong Kook's point-of-view during epsiodes where they both have interactions. It seems so real. This story has been the most amazing Spartace fanfic I've ever read. I hope this won't be abandoned. ?

Chapter 26: I ran into this when I was mindlessly searching for some spartace fanfic to read and totally got engrossed in this amazing story till 4 am. I love that you try to portray the members just as they are on screen and at the same time depict their emotions and thoughts that make sense to all readers. Thanks for your hard work and I hope you keep writing this fanfic. I am dying to see how our Spartace come to realize their feelings and confess to each other in the story.
