"What did you just..." 

"I asked if I can kiss you?" Sunggyu looked at her strangely.  "I guess I..." Sunggyu sighed deeply and knew he should not have confessed his feelings for her.   He is only going to hurt their friend ship now.  He was so stupid.

"Sunggyu..." Hyerin bit her lip as she looked at Sunggyu, she could tell by his reaction that his feelings were very sincere. She leaned in and kissed him on his cheek, pulling away moments later.  Hyerin did not know what made her kiss him on the cheek, but she did.

Sunggyu blinked and looked at Hyerin. Did she really just kiss him on his cheek.  Sunggyu raised his hand placing his hand on the once warm spot.  His hand dropped and he decided that it was time for him to take more risk, it was time for him to stop following his father's rules, and fighting for things that will make him happy.  He was already hurting a lot and if he did not do this, he would regret it for the rest of his life Without any hesitation, Sunggyu placed a hand on Hyerin's cheek, and leaned forward, pressing his lips against her. 

Hyerin raised her hand wrapping her arms around Sunggyu's neck, kissing him back.   This was something she was trying to prevent from happening, but if kissing Sunggyu like this was her destiny, it had to be done.  There was something so surreal as their lips moved in sync with each other.

Sunggyu pulled away moments later, resting his forehead against his. "Did we just..." Sunggyu started but was cut off by Hyerin's lips.  He was shocked that she kissed him again.   Sunggyu kissed her back and pulled away moments later, "I did not know you liked me that much?" Sunggyu smirked.

"Who said I liked you?"

Sunggyu chucked and was going to let her deny her feelings towards him.  "We should rest a bit before we head out.  Why don't you close your eyes for a bit?"

"You need to rest to..."

"I will rest, but I am not the one with an ankle injury."

"How about we rest together." Hyerin suggested, hoping Sunggyu would agree to it, he looked exhausted, and in need of rest.

Sunggyu bit his lip and sighed; he liked the idea of resting, but he did not feel safe if they both slept at the same time.  "Close your eyes first...I will rest soon."

Hyerin sighed deeply and rested her head on Sunggyu's chest, closing her eyes.

"The boss is not going to like this..." As he lowered his camera.

"He does not like anything that Sunggyu does.  What do you expect? We just need to bring him the pictures so we can get paid."

"I know, but it feels wrong.  Sunggyu needs..."

"He needs love, but not with this girl. She is to problematic and if Sunggyu finds out what hyung did to her parents, he would be devastated."

"I was going to say freedom, but he really does need love.  That man does not love his song.  he only sees him as a product not a human-being."  The man sighed as he put away his camera.  He was starting to feel guilty about what he was doing.  He was causing Sunggyu pain, indirectly of course, but he wanted to see the young man's smile once more.  "Maybe hyung should tell his son the truth."

"The truth would hurt him more than what we are doing to him right now."

"She has to be here somewhere." Hoya said as he looked back and forth, hoping he would be able to pick up on their trail.  The rain was not helping them, it was washing away any possible trail. 

"We should take cover somewhere." Dongwoo said as the hurried through the rain.

"She could be dead somewhere and you want to take cover somewhere? I am not going to stop looking for her!"  Hoya yelled. 

"Hyerin is not dead." Dongwoo yelled, "I would know if she is dead."

"And how would you know that?" Hoya hissed.

"We have a special bond." Dongwoo mumbled as he made his way towards the cave he spotted through the torrential rain.  "I think we should check that cave over there, Hoya.  I think there is a possibility that they would go in there and wait out the storm."

"How could you be so sure?"

"I just have a hunch." Dongwoo said as hurried towards the cave.  He was hoping his hunch was right and Hyerin and Sunggyu were resting inside of that cave.   Dongwoo entered the cave and came to a sudden stop when he saw Hyerin asleep with Sunggyu. 

"Why did you stop?" Hoya shouted. Dongwoo pointed to the ground and Hoya;s eyes widened. "YAHHHHHH WAKE UP!"

Sunggyu's eyes slowly opened and he raised his head to see Dongwoo and Hoya staring at them.  He sighed deeply and placed a hand on Hyerin's shoulder, shaking her awake, but she only snuggled closer to him.  "Hyerin..."

"Five more minutes, Gyu..."

"Well you do not have five more minutes, Dongwoo and Hoya are here." Sunggyu said as he watched her eyes pop open.  She quickly released her hold on Sunggyu and sat up. "Dongwoo, Hoya...." She bit her lip.

"Rinnie, are you alright?" Dongwoo asked.

"I'm fine..." Hyerin lied.

"Don't lie..." Sunggyu said in a husky voice as he sat up and glared at the girl. 

Hyerin gulped at she looked at the man she kissed earlier. "Umm..."

"KIM SUNGGYU YOU BETTER TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED!" Hoya yelled. 

"Calm down Lee Howon, your shouting is annoying." Sunggyu said as he kneeled in front of Hyerin, grabbing her arms and pulled her onto his back before standing up, "She twisted her ankle and I did what I could with the medical supplies I was carrying with me, but she will get better treatment when we get back to camp."

"How dare you hurt her."  Hoya took a step forward, but Dongwoo held him back.  "Dongwoo let go."

"He did not hurt me
