Chapter 23 : Stay [ END ]
StayIt was kind of a noisy night , yet fun . With all the members gathered together , along with Byul , Dream , Gil and Ji Hyo’s manager laughing , chatting , singing , playing around then yes , it was a great night .
* inhale * *exhale *
Ji Hyo was having her own time at her apartment veranda while the others was enjoying their time inside . She closed her eyes as she breath the fresh breeze . She then turned back and glanced at the living room . The bunch of middle-age man was singing and dancing .
She kinda feel sorry for little Dream , he should be sleeping soundly at this hour but instead he had to stay here with all this noise .
She sighed and laugh when her eyes glanced at Jae Suk , HaHa and Kwang Soo as they were dancing along with Jong Kook’s song “ Lovable “ .
Turning back to the veranda scenery , she once again close her eyes as the wind blows .
When suddenly she could feel a warm body hugging her from behind , she quickly turned back wanting to know who was it . A smile then appear on her face when she realize it was Gary all along .
“ What were you doing ? “ she asked and turned back .
“ I’m the one that should be asking you that . What are you doing here ? “ he asked as her put his head on her shoulder .
“ I just wanted to get some fresh air “
“ Really ? “
“ Yes “
“ I’m worried “ he suddenly said while lowering his tone .
“ Worried ? why ? “
“ I was worried that you might get uncomfortable with the noise “ he said with guilt .
She laughed when she hears what Gary said .
“ I’m completely fine oppa . You should ask that to baby Dream . He’s still a baby , and he should be sleeping at this hour you know “
“ Since when did you know a lot about babies ? “ he asked jokingly , earning himself a pinch from her .
He laughed , but somehow Ji Hyo could sense that there were something that bothering him . “ What’s wrong oppa ? “ she asked with worries , but he just replied with a smile and shook his head .
“ Oppa , tell me what’s wrong . Please “ she begged .
Gary only respond with a sigh . “ What’s wrong with this guy “ she thought to herself , she wanted to know but she doesn’t want to force him too . So she choose to just stay quiet until he open his mouth .
***
“ Actually “ after a few minutes of silence between them , he finally clear up his throat and start speaking .
“ What do you want to do after this ? “ he asked . There’s only one answer that Ji Hyo could think of at that time , so she answered without hesitation . “ Sleep “ she said . Hearing her answer , Gary chuckled but sighed later on .
“ That’s not what I mean Ji Hyo-ah ~ I mean , about us . About our relationship . Don’t you think that we should move on to the next step ? “
“ What kind of question is that ? Of course I want to ~ “ she replied .
Gary then asked if she’s okay with it and Ji Hyo nodded .
“ What about Mr.Baek ? “ Gary suddenly asked .
Ji Hyo’s mind suddenly goes blank , ever since they were dating , Gary never mentioned Chang Joo’s name before . Ji Hyo stopped for a sec and took a depth breath .
“ Actually oppa , I met him this morning ~ “
[ Flashback ]
“ Good morning , Mr Baek . Did you called me ? “ Ji Hyo said as he walked into his office .
“ Yes , please have a seat “ he said .
Even after a few months , it was still awkward between them .
“ Song Ji Hyo-shi . I called you to discuss about something “ he started off .
“ What is it ? “
“ about you and Kang Gary-shii “ he replied .
Ji Hyo went silent , it was kind of unexpected for him to talk about her relationship with Gary .
“ Look , if you two are really serious about your relationship then I’m okay with it . I’m saying this cause I don’t want you to be involved in such news scandal when something went wrong “ he said with a strict yet with a concern voice .
“ Don’t worry Mr.Baek . We’re really serious about our relationship “ she replied
Chang Joo went silent for a moment before continuing .
“ Then , I wish you guys happiness Song Ji Hyo-shii , and I apologize for giving you such a hard time in the past . I’m glad that Gary-shii came and helped you to get through it . I . . . I was such a bad boyfriend “ he said as he tried to lowering his voice .
“ Mr. Baek ~ Please don't be like this “
“ No , what I’m saying is a fact Song Ji Hyo-shii “ he cut off her words and smiled .
“ I hope that we could start over again . . as a good friend . . “ he offers her a hand-shake as sign of agreement .
Ji Hyo stared at his hand for a while .“ Sure . Why not “ she then replied and accept his hand-shake while smiling brightly .
[ End of Flashback ]
Gary was satisfied with his respond and finally he felt relieved by it .
“ Are you really serious with US ? “ he asked again .
“ Yah ~ how many times should I answer that ? . . Yes Kang Gary , I Song Ji Hyo is taking our relationship seriously ~ “ she said with and angry tone .
Gary chuckled and hugged her tightly before giving her a kiss at her cheek , causing her to giggle and blush .
Suddenly , Gary pulled Ji Hyo , making her to turned around facing him and he kneeled down in front of her .
Out of nowhere , he then took out a ring .
“ Then . . Will you be my wife ? “ he asked with a nervous tone .
Ji Hyo was really surprised with his sudden action , she really didn’t expect that he would be proposing her at that time . A tears of happiness start to flows down trough her cheeks , and she chuckled when she noticed that Gary’s hand was shaking .
He was still there , kneeling in front of her “ Oppa knows that this is kind of a sudden , since we just dated for a few months . But to me , we’ve known each other long enough to understand each other . I really hope that you would be willing to marry someone like me . “ he stopped for a moment before looking up to her and looked straight into her eyes .
Nervously waiting for her answer . He slightly bite his lower lips . Without knowing , HaHa finally realized the two love birds at the veranda , and he obviously saw that Gary was proposing Ji Hyo .
He quickly signalled to the other guest , causing their jaw to dropped . HaHa then signalled Jong Kook to sing his song “ One Man “ . Nodding in agreement , he quickly took the mic and start singing ~
Gary and Ji Hyo’s face gets completely red when they finally realize that the guest saw them . Especially Gary , “ ahh ! What did I think of ? I totally forgot about them “ he thought to himself as he tried his best to hide his embarrassment .
“ Yah ! Mong Ji ! What are you waiting for ! Accept it !!! “ Jae Suk shouted from the living room , causing HaHa and Byul quickly covers his mouth .
“ Hyung ! You shouldn’t bother them !! “ He whispered
Ji Hyo giggled when she saw their action , and she then looked down towards Gary with a smile “ Yes . Of course ! “ she finally responded . Causing Gary to jumped up out of excitement . and of course , causing all the guest to cheer up for them , including baby Dream . He was giggling all along with his mommy and daddy .
Gary walked closer to Ji Hyo and slowly inserting the ring on her finger , causing Ji Hyo to break into tears again . Gary was also tearing up , but he tried really hard to hold it in .
He then stared at her face , ignoring the others , he slowly hold her face and pulled it closer for a kiss . Ji Hyo accept the kiss , she put her hand around his neck and she could feel that he was smiling between their kiss .
And of course , causing them to receive even louder cheers from their excited beloved friends at the living room ~
I was about midnight when all the guest decided to go home . Before leaving the house , each of everyone of them congratulate Gary and Ji Hyo for being an engaged . HaHa then shouted “ Hurry up and get babies you two !! So that my little Dream can have a friends to play wth !! Hahaha ! “ earning him a playful hit at his back head from Ji Hyo .
Jong Kook then grabbed the two love birds into a tight hug , he even lift them up . He then put them down before congratulate them again .
“ Hyung ~ you should really meet some girls hyung ~ You’re getting old ~ “ Kwang Soo said and patted on Jong Kook back , causing himself to earn a punch from Jong Kook .
Being the oldest , Jae Suk and Suk Jin gave them some relationship advice before wishing them happiness .
“ Oppa is really happy that you could finally found a guy that could love you and take care of you Ji Hyo-ahh . Oh and Gary-ahh , be prepare , you will have more responsibilities after this . Such as managing her schedule , making sure that she’s in a good health condition ~ You should took care of those thing you know . Give her manager a break “ Jae Suk said towards them and patted on Gary’s back and Ji Hyo’s head .
“ ahh ~ I’ll be lonely after this . I should really go out and meet some girls “ Gil jokingly said .
“ Then you should follow Jong Kook hyung ~ “ Kwang Soo who was still being bullied by Jong Kook shouted from the outside .
When the guest finally left , Ji Hyo asked Gary if he wanted to stay or go back to his house .
“ I’ll be staying . I should help you to clear up this mess “ he said and sighed .
“ It’s okay oppa , I could do it “
“ Eiiisshh . No way , you should get a rest now , you got some filming again tomorrow right ? You should go to sleep now “ he said and start pushing Ji Hyo from her back towards the bedroom
“ Then just leave the it for tomorrow okay ? You need some rest too ~ “ she said at patted on the empty space beside her on the bed .
Without hesitation , he quickly jumped onto the bed and snuggled up with the blankets . He was actually really tired ~
Ji Hyo chuckled and settle up beside him .
He then turned around to his side and hugged her , planting a kiss on her forehead .
“ Should we just move on to another steep ? “ he suddenly asked .
“ Hm ? Isn’t it too fast ? we just got engaged you know ? “ she replied with her half-asleep voice .
“ No , I mean . That step ~ “
“ Hm ? Which one ? “
“ Babies ? “ he jokingly replied
“ Yah ! if you’re being like this I will drag you out of this room ! “ she shouted as she pushed him off the bed . Her action and voice tone shows anger , but her face are now blushing brightly .
Gary who was already at the floor just laughed and climb back onto the bed .
“ I was just joking . Go to sleep , you need some rest “ he said as he cover himself with the blanket .
As he was about to close his eyes when she suddenly came closer and snuggled up to his chest .
“ We will move on to that step oppa . . just not now , I’m tired . . but I promise you , we’ll take another step further . . one day “ she mumbled and fell asleep on his chest .
Gary just smiled warmly and put his hand around her . “ Yes . and I’ll be staying here , by your side . . until that day comes . . until we take that last step “ he whispered to himself and slowly fell asleep .
[ Gary’s POV ]
Strange , my sleep was disturb by some shaking . It feels like someone was bouncing on the bed . I slowly opened my eyes , and I could already see the bright shine of the morning sun . I could see there’s this little human bouncing and laughing on the bed , I couldn’t recognize it since my vision was still in a blur condition .
But I could clearly hear that little human calling me .
“ Daddy ! Daddy ! Wake up ! “ the little creature shouted while giggling .
“ “Daddy “ ? Is that me ? “ I questioned myself .
“ Ufff “ I let out as the little human landed on me and right at that moment , all the data that I’ve lost a moment ago seems to come back and I finally realize who’s this little human that was now on my body .
“ Hyun Ae . . Kang Hyun Ae “ Yes , that’s her name . The name of this beautiful little angle of mine that I got about 5 years ago with my beautiful wife Ji Hyo .
“ What daddy ? “ she said with her cute voice .
“ Hm ? Nothing ~ “ I replied and smiled .
“ but you just called my name “ the little kid asked in curiosity .
I just respond with a loving smile , and glanced at the clock besides me before turning my face toward her again . I put my left hand on her head and rub it before pulling her closer for a kiss at her forehead .
“ Happy Birthday baby “ I said and give her a wink ..
She’s 5 years old now , she grew every year as a beautiful angle who always makes my day with her laughter and smile . She was no different from her mother , she’s a girl with a bright personality , a girl which men would fall for as soon as she smiles , a girl who is caring and a loving person , a girl who is a tomboyish yet still full of feminine , a girl who enjoy doing rough activities yet still love to dress up . and of course a girl who have much love for foods .
And just then , “ Yeobo ~ are you awake now ? “ that familiar voice come from the bedroom door , and there is she . My beautiful wife , who gave me happiness and strength in my life , Song Ji Hyo .
“ Yes I am “ I replied and carefully lift my body into a sitting posture on the bed , with Hyun Ae still holding tight onto my body .
“ Daddy ! you promise me to bring me to the Zoo today ! remember ? “ She asked me with full of excitement .
I glanced at my wife who was still standing by the door , smiling as she looked at her daughter with me .
“ Of course ! Now go to your mum and get ready okay ? Daddy wants to take a shower now ~ “ I said and carefully putting her down from the bed .
She nodded and adorably runs towards her mother before explaining which clothes that she wanted to wear and what kind of animals that she wanted to see .
I walked towards the bathroom , when my step stopped when I noticed a photo frame , hanging on the wall . It was a picture of the Running Man members all together .
Running Man has ended a few years ago and now , all the member are having a great life . Jae Suk , he’s getting older now but he still remain active in emceeing a reality show . Suk Jin are now probably resting at his house , he’s now focusing on raising his son together with his wife . HaHa are now probably busy changing diapers , he just got his second child last year and it was a girl . We often visit each other since my Hyun Ae and Dream are bestfriends , they really like to play with each other .
While Kwang Soo are now really active in his acting and modelling carrier , and now , he’s already someone’s fiancée . Oh and Jong Kook , finally he’s now married to someone and guess what ? It’s Eun Hye and she’s pregnant now . Not to forget , my partner Gil is now successfully running a restaurant business around Seoul but sadly , he’s still single . “ Hmm ~ When are you going to get married Gil-ahh ~ “ I thought to myself .
“ You miss them ? “ Ji Hyo’s voice come from my back and I could feel her hand holding my shoulder .
I turned back and looked at her , “ so much dear , I miss them so much ~ “ I mumbled as I kiss her forehead .
“ Let’s go visit them when we have time okay ? “ she said .
I just nodded as a respond . “ You were smiling while sleeping , what kind of dream did you have ? was it really fun ? “ she asked .
I chuckled and smiled , “ Just something that happened about 5-6 years ago “ I said and make my way to the bathroom . Leaving her in confusion .
Well , this is my life now . I am Kang Gary , now the husband of a beautiful angel named Song Ji Hyo and a father of an angle child named Kang Hyun Ae . I am still active in music , since that was my life from the beginning , active both in LeeSsang and a solo rapper . While my wife , Ji Hyo is now focused on her acting and modelling carrier , she's now working on a drama but she's taking a day off today since it's our daughter's birthday .
As I was in the bathroom , I stared at the mirror . Still quite fascinated about how I could dream back all the memories of me and Ji Hyo that happened about 6 years ago and I realize how much my life has change after that , not mine only but also the whole member of Running Man .
“ Life change but memories stay “ I mumbled and splash my face with the fresh water .
