Jihyo got up late the morning after. She lay on the bed for a long time, carefully contemplating the last night incident and her feeling for Kang Gary. 

Their conversations from the night before echoed in her head; 

"Jihyo: (blurted out) Are you dating someone now, Oppa?
Gary: (grinned softly) I am considering it, Jihyo. I don't date easily but I think sooner or later with this girl I probably will."

She absentmindedly bit her lips as she thought of their kiss. 

"Jihyo: My evil side told me to steal you from your "her", Gary Oppa. I know it's wrong but I could not help myself."

The actress quickly grabbed her phone from the bedside table and was surprised to see Gary's text message on her phone screen.

Don't be embarrassed about last night. I understand. You drank quite a lot. Take care. - Gary 8.54 hrs.

Kang Gary was having brunch and discussing the 
marketing campaign for the new collection with his Halyang's staff when a message came in on his phone. The rapper glanced at the phone screen and abruptly took a second look at it. 

Last night I was not drunk, Gary Oppa.- Jihyo 10.54 hrs.

The staff curiously observed their boss who grinned too happily as he answered the text.

You are awake? Having a hang over?- Gary 10.55 hrs.
Of course not...alcohol has always been my friendly companion. -Jihyo 10.56 hrs.
Good.-Gary 10.58 hrs.

Jihyo was agitated since his text conversations seemed to be ending short like that. After 10 minutes waiting another message from Kang Gary came in;

I am in the meeting now. I will call you as soon as we finish, OK?- Gary. 11.15 hrs.
OK...Go back to your work then. 🙂-Jihyo 11.17 hrs.

Gary grinned warmly and was about to put down his phone when Jihyo sent him one more message;

Jagiya, him ne!💋💋💋-Jihyo 11.19 hrs 

The rapper read the message and chuckled hard. His face turned uncontrollably red as he mumbled to himself;

Gary: Oh my god, Song Jihyoah....
