After winning on a mini argument, Jongkook decided for Jihyo to go ahead first and watched her securely close the gate. Just as he had assured her safety, he drive his car heading to the hotel. He sure saw Dongwook somewhere and it worries him, especially that he'll be away again from her although it's just for the mean time.

  Reaching his hotel room, he change to his workout attire and head straight to the gym facility, a place for him to release some stress. Stress not from Jihyo and her family, but from the man he knew was bothering his woman. And it's frustrating him more when he speculates negatively at the guy as Jihyo wasn't telling him anything about it. It was never in his nature to make foes, but there he was, holding grudges over Dongwook without knowing the whole story. Only Jihyo can clear things up to him.   Time can wait, he thought.   He change his sweat-soaked tank top to a gray shirt, and went back to his room. Upon checking his phone, he saw 3 missed phone calls from his manager which he soon returned and Jihyo's message asking to bring some oranges tomorrow and wishing him good night. He replied back and drifted to his dreamland.   The clock strikes three in the morning dawn and Jihyo is still wide awake. She wasn't able to sleep when she can't satisfy herself from eating the only orange left. She even cursed the fruit basket for not being able to bear its own fruit like that of the fairytales. The sun had finally set and decided to breathe in some fresh air outside. Her parents had check on her and called her inside to eat breakfast. But to no avail, she refused to eat, lacking the appetite she needs.   She was sulking on the front yard when Jongkook came and walk fast to greet him. "Ah oppa! Thank goodness~", she released her hug as quickly as holding the bag of oranges.   He lowered his stance to level his face with hers. "Your eyes look a bit tired... Did you sleep well, Jihyo-ah?"   "Aniya-"   "But that's not good for the baby-"   "What 'baby'?", Moonie interjected, surprising the two.   "Yah- Oppa, calls me 'baby'. You got a problem with that, Seongmoon-ah?"   Moonie returned a cringed nose, acting like he's disgusted, and left the two alone with their cheekiness.   "That was close, oppa." Jihyo said, making a surprise face as soon as Moonie left. With her words, Jongkook thought that revealing the baby wasn't the next step in Jihyo's mind.   He wanted to open up and discuss about the 'baby'---- like how will they get to introduce it and be welcome to the family. But to him, it seems like the woman in front of him isn't as ready as him yet.    "Mianhe, I can't help but to worry. Oh I have something here." He decided to change the topic and redirect her attention to another plastic bag.   "Igeo mwuh-ya?" ("What's this?")   "Secret... You'll know. Close your eyes first."   "Ahh wae? I'll see that anyway."   "Just close your eyes, Jihyo."   "Eeee- I'm eating, oppa. And-" Aish. There he goes again, pouting his mouth and adorable innocent eyes. Aishhh. That deadly combo. "Uhh- Fine. Make it quick oppa, I'm not done eating yet, Kim Jong Kook." "Kurae~" As Jongkook prompted her to open her eyes, she got startled of him wearing a tiger printed face mask. "Wah- Oppa, you look cute. No one can say it's you... If only with that muscles." "Kwenchana- It's not like I'm the only muscular in this place. Here, I bought you one." He handed her a lion printed mask and hold the bag of fruit for her.  "Aw kyeopta! Thank you, oppa. Yah~ I'm not done with that." Pointing at the bag of citrus fruit.   Jongkook chuckled on Jihyo's cheekiness. Earlier that morning, disguised with a cap and sunglasses, he stopped by a fruit stall. Just then, he found a lot of masked people scattered in the crowd, which added great color to the festivity. Since it was outdoor, people needs skin protection and this type of face masks were popular to the fishermen for work and even tourists who came for outdoor activities - like bicycling, and watersports that is very much popular in the town. With two masks he bought, Jongkook find it advantageous that they won’t get to worry being exposed even if they participate even in the water-related games.    "Tiger plus lion is equal to 'liger'! Cute! Kyaa~ I'm so jealous, I want to have my own boyfriend, too." Seonghee giggled at the sight of the masked couple.   "Yah~ you finish studying first," nagged the eldest, Jongkook was nodding silently on her statement.   "Ah unnie wae? I can manage both at the same time anyway," Seonghee bragged, folding her arms. Jihyo's eyes grew bigger.   "Eomma! Abeoji! Seonghee said she'll be having a boyfriend."   "Mwuh rah goo?!" Mr. Cheon who came rushing, reacted, "You think I’ll let you have one right now?” He lightly pinching his youngest daughter’s ear.   “Aww~”, touching her reddened ear. "I was just joking, Appa."   Both the Tiger and the Lioness could only laugh under the piece of cloth. The townspeople and tourists formed the big crowd at the very wide beachside. Seonghee and Seongmoon joined their own group of friends. Mr. Cheon can be seen betting whose going to win among the participants with his troupe; while Mrs. Cheon knocks on her husband’s head whenever he gambles high.   Jihyo and Jongkook went on the front row for a better view of the ongoing game. Thanks to the mask, they don't have to mind being anywhere in public. It’s a good idea to hide their identities as celebrities, he thought. Not because he want to save himself from any scandal,  but it was to protect Jihyo and their relationship away from the fangs of media and absurd critics that he knows won't do them good.   "For our next game! Let's warm up with one of the best seafood of all time. It looks like a snake when it's not. The one that gives good protein than meat. A smooth slippery creature known for boosting the stamina of most men. Let's play, the 'Eel-catching' game! "The most catch wins! A medical team is on standby for those who gets electrocuted." The host said jokingly, but Jihyo share herworries to her man who was interested to take part in the game. "So who's up?! We need 10 brave men to form two teams." The 'battlefield of mud' was set, and volunteers started to enter the installed shallow water filled with eels.   "Oh- Appa is calling --- Neh, Appa? Wae? Jongkook oppa? He's here --- Oppa, he wants to talk to you.", handing the phone to Jongkook.   "Neh, abeonim?" [Jongkook-ah, are you joining the game?] "Ahm- I'm going to consult Jihyo first if I can." Jihyo tilt her head upon hearing her name being stated, lip-mouthing 'Why' to Jongkook. He wave his hands to dismiss Jihyo's attention. [Consult first? Why?]
"She's somehow worr
