Mystery Solved by the Wise Giraffe
Running Man Members Kim Jong Kook And Song Ji Hyo Are Dating?As soon as Kwang Soo left the restaurant, he hailed a cab and gave the directions to Haha's house to the driver.
It would take at least 30 minutes to get to his hyung since it was rush hour. He asked for the driver's cellphone and texted Haha he would arrive a bit later than he had hoped.
Hyung, it's Kwang Soo. Just wanted to tell you that I'd be there in 30 minutes instead of 15 because of traffic.
A reply came a few minutes after.
Hurry! Hurry! If you're already in the neighborhood, get out of your car and run!
Kwang Soo was startled. Running outside in this weather? The skies were getting even darker and he could see a flash of lightning far away.
"Should I? Or should I not? I could be struck by lightning if I go outside, since I'm so unlucky...But If I don't...Dong Hoon hyung needs me..." Kwang Soo didn't know what to do.
After 3 long minutes, he finally made up his mind.
"Thank you for the ride, ajusshi." he handed the money to the driver and ran out of the cab.
Kwang Soo has always been a loyal dongsaeng, even though he was known as a betrayer on Running Man. It didn't matter if he was busy or not, if one of his close hyungs or noonas needed him, he wouldn't think twice about it...well, except if his life could be in danger. "Every man for himself!", he would give as an excuse.
By the time he reached Haha's appartment complex, the rain was pouring heavily. Water had seeped through his clothing; even his underwear was wet!
The elevator was out of order, he had to use the stairs.
"Aish! 14 flights of stairs?! This is such a bad day!" Kwang Soo cursed under his breath.
Alas, he finally arrived to his destination. Wet and tired, but he still made it.
"Dong Hoon hyung! Dong Hoon hyung! Are you okay?" Kwang Soo rang the doorbell repeatedly and banged on his door.
The door opened, and out of it emerged a dapper Haha, all cleaned up, wearing a suit and a a bow tie.
Kwang Soo was speechless.
"Hyung! I thought something happened to you...?" Kwang Soo tried to understand the situation.
Haha ignored him and yelled at someone in his appartment.
"He's here, hyung. Can I leave now?"
"Yeah, have a nice evening!" an easily recognizable voice shouted back.
Jong Kook hyung?
Kwang Soo was lost.
What on earth is happening here?!?
"Uh...hyung, where are you going?" Kwang Soo asked.
"Tonight, I'm going to propose to Go Eun! I'm so nervous!" Haha said, gulping thrice in the same sentence.
"...Why did you ask me to come then? You said it was an emergency!" Kwang Soo exploded, he wanted an answer.
"Well, I was supposed to help Jong Kook create a twitter account with his brand new laptop. Since he's a computer illiterate person, I had my day all booked up to teach him how to do that but I forgot it was today! So the first person whom I thought of and trusted completely to teach Jong Kook hyung was you!" Haha tried to gain the framer's sympathy.
"...Okay, hyung. I'm going to do you this favor, but you owe me! I left Ji Hyo noona all alone because I thought it was a matter of life or death!" Kwang Soo exclaimed, still feeling bad about ditching Ji Hyo earlier.
"Ah really? I'll make up for it another time, I'm already running late! See you later Kwang Soo...or not!" Haha grinned, feeling excited but nervous about asking Byul to marry him.
As Haha left, Kwang Soo looked around his living room. There were many pictures of Haha and Byul.
Dong Hoon hyung is going to get married, Gary hyung and Ji Hyo noona are together, Jae Suk hyung and Suk Jin hyung have been blissfully married for a few years... Maybe it's time I settle down too...Where's my future girlfriend at? Should I ask out that pretty girl from the salon?
Kwang Soo was still thinking about whether or not to call the hair dresser girl when his thoughts got interrupted by Jong Kook's voice.
"What's that about Ji Hyo?" Jong Kook asked trying to turn on the computer.
"I asked noona to meet me at hyung's restaurant to talk about Maritime Police Marco, but then I got a call from Dong Hoon hyung, so I rushed over here." Kwang Soo quickly summed up the situation.
Jong Kook nodded and went back to figuring out how his laptop worked.
"But hyung, I think Ji Hyo noona is hiding something. She has been acting weird for a few weeks, like, she's always tired and lost in her own thoughts. And when I ask her what's going on, she says she just hasn't been sleeping well. That is such a lie since Ji Hyo noona can pratically fall asleep anywhere, anytime!" Kwang Soo reasoned.
"After seeing her today, I think I know why she hasn't been herself these days..." Kwang Soo started, giving Jong Kook a "I-have-solved-the-mystery" look.
Jong Kook thought there was no point in hiding the fact that Monday couple was not a couple anymore since everyone would find out sooner or later.
"She's pregnant with Gary hyung's baby."
"Gary broke up with her."
Kwang Soo and Jong Kook said at the same time.
"WHAT?!? Since when?" shouted a very shocked Kwang Soo.
"The day Gary left Korea." Jong Kook answered as a matter of fact.
"Is she okay now?" the giraffe was worried for his noona. He cared for her a lot, he treated her as his blood related sister.
"Well, she seems fine now, even though she had a breakdown two weeks ago..." Jong Kook answered. Thinking back to that day made his heart flutter.
"Are we the only ones who know?" Kwang Soo was a bit disappointed that Ji Hyo didn't tell him first, but he was understanding, she was closer to Jong Kook afterall.
"Yeah, don't tell the others, they'll find out on their own when Gary comes back." Jong Kook asked of Kwang Soo to keep it a secret.
"How did you manage to cheer up noona?" Kwang Soo was very curious.
"I didn't do anything, I just let her borrow my shoulder and she cried without holding back. And...we hugged...for a long time." Jong Kook replied, his ears turning red.
Ahhh...So that's what happened...I knew something was going on between hyung and noona...Looks like I'll have to keep an eye on them..
"Hyung, what I'm about to ask you might be a bit personal but I just really have to make sure of something..." Kwang Soo started, hesitantly.
