Note: I. am. finally. back. I am truly, truly, truly sorry for the loooooooong break. I had been really busy because summer had ended and you know all the things that come with the end of summer. But now that i'm all settled, I have the chance to write this. So thank you so much for your patience! Here you go: it's longer than the usual chapters! :)

Seoul was busy, as it had always been. It was their workplace. And Monday came approaching fast. As soon as they arrived, they had to be in their work mode for they were filming instantly after. Just being back and already asked to be placed in different groups did not make them feel good. Moreover when Gary was paired off with another girl as his bride. They had to be professional, though. So they went with it.

“What? Gary is the groom?” All the guys exclaimed at the same time. He screamed in joy. As the others asked him,

“So you couldn’t get Jihyo and settles for her younger sister?” They laughed. Playing his role, he asked them who Jihyo is. Being the professional that she is, she laughed at his remark. She also played along when she should object to the wedding. However, afterwards, it was apparent how she keeps her lips pursed. Her reactions became forced and awkward.

As Jaesuk read the mission guidelines, Gary gulped. Should he play along? Should he not? The game started anyway. Looking out, Jihyo’s figure was apparent to him. He went to her right away, stealing some screen time alone with her. They held onto each other tightly, separated by the mission. He hesitated. She was not in her best mood. When Minah approached, he knew he had to do something. He held her shoulder, his thumb over her back, and ripped her nametag off while she was hitting her head on his chest. She wanted to hug him right then.

“You shouldn’t get together with him, Minah. He’s not the guy you think he is.” She called out to Minah.

“Ah, sorry for taking your man. I’ll return him after filming.” Minah replied, clearly feeling awkward. The others felt it too. Throughout filming, the boys were really supportive of Jihyo, they looked after her because they knew she wasn’t fully comfortable with the idea. Jeongsuk, on the other hand, was confused to why she seemed out of it.

“You seem to be really jealous.” Jaesuk . She rolled her eyes while denying on camera. But they all knew that she rolled her eyes because the answer to Jaesuk’s statement was obvious. At this, even Jeongsuk smiled, knowing how jealous she was. The mission continued. When they had to eat the pasta, Jihyo quickly picked the pasta, but she concentrated on the game, looking away from Jeongsuk. As she tried to keep the piece as short as possible, she had to hold his head, but she tried not to do so to avoid Gary’s jealousy. However, looking at how close their lips were, he cringed.

It was his turn, and the plate was given to him. The first thing he did was check how long Jihyo’s bit was. Not to win, but to see how close they were. Then, their lips slid quickly through the pasta. Too quick for his liking. He kept watching the pasta so their lips won’t touch. Jihyo didn’t cringe, not as much, but she did look away. Afterwards, it was him who protested that she was holding Jeongsuk’s face. As if naturally, she tried to explain,

“Ani, oppa…” She said, but was cut off by the other members. A sign that they should just do all the bickering later. The rest of the game went normally. And he ended up winning. He thought because it was over anyway, he could go back to being himself. So when the producers told him he could go back to sharing the money with the person he loves, he respond,

“Jihyo?” His voice loud and clear, so that she’ll k
