Jong Kook went home and relax like Kwang Soo suggested him to do. After all the heavy thinking and mixed emotions for the past few days, he wasn't certainly able to unwind.   He held his 'healthy shake', dipping down into his hot tub.   His? It should be theirs; his and hers.   He misses her so much. So much that he no longer know where the pain was coming from. What more has he done to fail her.   He reached for the bathroom stereo remote, and pressed the Play button, playing her playlists of his own songs. She has always been his greatest loyal fan.   He remembered how she danced along with everybody as he sang ‘Loveable’ and ‘Black Cat’ during the diet karaoke game. He was surprised that she sings along even without looking at the prompter, as if she knew his old songs well. Her dance moves may not be the best, but her endings would always be funny yet mesmerizing. She's different.   Running Man reached its first year. Jong Kook remembered how he gathered all his courage for the first time in a long while to ask for Ji Hyo’s hand to court her.   She looked at him shyly. The next thing he knew, he was dumped. She honestly admitted having her CEO as her boyfriend for Jong Kook to understand. It wasn't hard for him to respect what she currently has. And even though he can’t have her the way he wanted to, he rest assured to be there for her and protect her in so many ways. As a friend or as a brother, maybe.   Once she went to the filming set, something has change. She cut her hair short and revealed that she had cut ties with the big man. An opportunity, it is. Although he wished to ask her out again, the on-screen couple's fandom grew stronger. In turn, it made the management to take its chance to increase the show's popularity and ratings. Hence all the members were requested to act along and support it, no matter how scripted it maybe. This made the lady be extra unavailable and for him not to stay beyond a co-member's boundary.   He did everything. Helping her subtly through the games or tasks to win, which didn't come unnoticed by Ji Hyo. A day came and she confronted him. “Oppa, why'd you always help me win? They're now calling me Gold Ji Hyo," she lightly questioned.   "Because I thought you might need some help.”   "Aigoo- Oppa. I'll treat you out then. Oh! The healthy ones, of course."   "Really? Arasso. Wait for me here. I'll ask Gapjin to send me the car right away."   Soon, for every win that she owe to him, she would treat him out. And for quite some time, he would insist paying for everything. They even went to a friend’s tanning salon when Ji Hyo grew interest over his tanned complexion. They got to know and trust each other more, that spending their off days together became natural.   A possible chance, he thought.   For the second time, he ask her again if she would consider dating him. And she retorted, “What took you so long, Oppa? Of course, I love to.”   And there was 'them', a secret their managers and their families kept and supported well.   They plead for their managers' advice if they can publicize their by-that-time status, and both suggested, "Not right now Jong Kook and Ji Hyo. You'll gain haters and might cause RM's rating to go flat when this fans stopped watching. You might be blamed for that. And it's no good for you two." He listened, but Ji Hyo was persistent.   On one interview during Happy Together. She was asked how she was called by her lover/ boyfriend, and she said "Ya-". That's a clue, definitely. He would call her "Ya-" even on Running Man, if only people would put attention on it. Ya- is a short term for 'Jagiya', meaning 'Honey'. She's one loving sweet Honey, indeed.   He stayed rather stagnant about publicizing it. His manager had reminded him how unstable Ji Hyo's career was without her knowing it. And his album was about to be released back then. Definit
