Jongkook held Jihyo's hand and lead her up to the 11th floor of the same building that they're in. There she saw the Running Man crews around the area, already finishing the set up.
Are we really on set already? Jihyo thought.
They walk passed and greeted some crew members and it was too strange for her that Jongkook is still holding her hand. Knowing that her fiancé had been the stagnant one to publicize their relationship before, she thought that Jongkook might just be unaware and is being too off-guard at the moment. So she released her hand from his.
He recognized the sudden loss of contact, "Ah wae? Why did you let go of my hand?", and reached for it again. Jongkook anxiously studied her face.
"But they're looking at us, Oppa," she said quietly, "and I was worried…"
Jongkook tried to read her between the lines, "-worried with?” he continued her sentence.
"With… You know, Oppa," she bend down her head, trying to search for the right words to say, "I was the one being persistent before, right?" Jongkook already know what she was pertaining and he let her continue, "…and I thought you don't want another scandal because it might affect your new album-" The man let out light chuckles, so she stopped talking to look at him and watch his brown eyes smile.
"I no longer care about that, baby. Come here." He pulled her into his embrace, gaining more attention from the people around.
She smiled as she relaxed her chin on his shoulder, "Oppa, I'm melting with their stares."
"Nugu?" He caught the crews staring at them and quickly went back to what they’re doing. "Jihyo-ah, take back what you just said."
"What? That I'm melting with their stares?", she raised an eyebrow and pouted her lips..
"You should only be melting with my stare, no one else."
She chortled with his cheekiness, and she love this kind of possessiveness, "Kookie is jealous~ Kookie is jealous~", she sang.
"Ya~ Take it back or-"
She squinted her eyes and said, "-or what?"
He leaned towards her, pinning her back to the nearest wall. Jihyo felt his warm breath reached her ears and chantingly whispered, "....or I can kiss you right in front of them."
She perceived her legs grow weak under his spell, but she was too determined to receive their first kiss after getting back together for a long time. She narrowed her eyes and smirked at him, "Just do it." Shutting her eyes, welcoming his air roaming closer and closer to her face.
"Hyung!", his manager called behind him, interrupting their moment. Gapjin just realize the presence of a lady when Jongkook turned around to face him. "Ow! Sorry hyung, I didn't notice Jihyo is there. You're too broad," he joked.
Damn, I just wanted to be kissed, Jihyo thought. Jongkook was as pissed as her.
"Glad to see you two together again, Jihyo-ah. This hyung is such a pain in the neck, right? Hiding himself for days and-" receiving a sudden push from the muscular, "Aww Jongkook hyung!"
"Cut it out, Gapjin-ah."
"Whatever, hyung. And Jihyo-ah, I'm sorry about earlier. I really can't drive well when someone’s shouting next to me. I was ordered to bring you quickly to this hyung and I even have to endure the ‘call of nature’ at that moment."
They crack into a laugh. "Anyways, you two lovebirds should go inside. You're the last to be oriented with your- AWWW!", he cried in pain as Jongkook stepped on his foot.
Jongkook eyed his manager who was about to spill the plan directly to Jihyo. Gapjin realized what he was about to say when his hyung stabbed him with his glare. She look doubtly to the two simultaneously. "With... Erm... your mission," Gapjin covered.
Jongkook put his arm around Jihyo to redirect her suspicion and her to the room where every members were asked to be gathered. He open the door for her and let the woman in first.
The room was dark and quiet. “That’s odd.” Jihyo said and switch on the lights.
"Welcome back to Running Man, Commander Kim Jong Kook!" The male members' cheers fil
