I need you because I love you

Thinking back, Jihyo remembered how Gary and herself were contemplating on how best to reveal their newly found relationship to the rest of the Running Man members. Older brothers in the group Jae Suk and Suk Jin had always dropped hints that they should not develop Monday Couple outside of Running Man which Jihyo then ridiculed them and laughed at the idea of it. Both had far more experience in the industry than Gary and Jihyo did and knew how difficult things could get if they got into a relationship.

She could not fathom how she could once look at him and thought he was ugly when now, all she sees is an incredibly good-looking man who she finds herself falling in love with everyday. So absorbed with his face and her thoughts that she did not realise he had s his arm around the back of her neck and tugged her down towards him, his lips puckering up and kissing her. His tongue had pried open her surprised lips and tangled with hers, his mouth enveloping hers entirely. And of course, of all times Kwangsoo had to open the door to them right at that moment. “OH MY GOD.” He had shouted
