A woman clad in all black fashion carefully made her way inside the cafe. Her hair was tied in a loose bun underneath her knitted bonnet. Half of her face is covered by a mask and her eyes were hidden by sunglasses.

She scanned the cafe warily and decided to sit in the corner. She sighed in relief seeing how no one was there but her and the cafe staff. She was glad no waiters approached her to ask for her order. She doesn't need someone knowing her real identity. But the curious stares she got from them made her giddy in her chair.

She couldn't help but tap her feet against the cold hard floor. Every minute, she would check her phone and try not to scream in frustration. The guy, the reason why she's in the cafe literally covered up from head to toe, isn't there yet when they agreed to meet twenty minutes earlier.

She wanted to text him but she decided against it. She doesn't want to seem eager or excited about their meeting. Honestly, she was. Just a bit. But she was more nervous about why this particular  person wanted to meet her all of a sudden.

They've only meet twice, once in a night club and the other at the Running Man set.

Three weeks ago, Song Jihyo was feeling lonely and crappy that in the middle of the night, she sneaked out of her house. You might be wondering why a 34-year-old lady, a popular actress at that, be sneaking off her house? Well, she lives with her family and her mom is not fond of her late night clubbing.

She would have called Lee Kwangsoo to hangout but she didn't want to disturb his friend especially that Running Man would shoot their 278th episode tomorrow. She should be resting as well but sleep was against her and that usually doesn't happen. Everybody knows how she loves sleep so much.

 As she entered the club, she was met by the blaring bass and the lights flickering to the beat. Everything seemed normal. The dj playing his magic, intoxicated people gyrating on the dance floor and some sober humans trying to get drunk. She was one of those sober ones until she drank her fifth glass of alcohol.

She wasn't really worried about papparazzis trying to capture her in her drunken state since the club is exclusively for rich kids and celebrities. A place where her kind can party without thinking about someone taking a photo of her puking her innards out and being berated by the netizens an hour later.

As to why she was feeling lonely and crappy, blame it to Mr. Kang Gary-ssi. She didn't like him at first, he was nowhere near her ideal type. His persistence and determination is what got Jihyo. But as time goes by, she suddenly liked everything about him. The way he smiles, the way he talks, even the way he teases her.

People change though. He stopped looking at her with those stupid stares, he stopped being flustered everytime someone mentions her name, he stopped teasing her.

Just as she was starting to like him, he suddenly wasn't interested about her. 

She was determined to stop liking him. She doesn't want to push herself to someone who doesn't like her anymore. She'd rather give up than act like a total fool. And she will start moving on by drinking her sixth glass of the throat burning alcohol.

Afer drinking, she staggered her way to the comfort room. Her bladder had too much. As she made her way back to the bar, she bumped into someone causing her to fall on the cold hard floor. The guy helped her up as she tried to balance herself.

"Noona, are you okay?" The guy asked worriedly. He can smell the alcohol and she was noticeably drunk.

Jihyo looked up and saw a familiar face. She wasn't sure where she have seen him before.

"You look familiar." Jihyo loudly stated her thoughts which made the guy laugh.

"Am I, noona?" He answered helping Jihyo to the nearest chair he have seen.

"Noona? Are you my brother?" Jihyo awkwardly asked. She then bursted out, laughing at her random question.

The guy was a bit ruffled though.

"Should I call you sunbae-nim?" He asked running his fingers through his styled hair.

"Oh no, noona is fine." Jihyo assured him. But Jihyo's eyes keeps averting towards the guy's lips. She wasn't a ert, she swears to the heavens above, but for some unknown reason she couldn't help but look at those lips.

She wondered if they were soft as how they looked. She wondered if how it would feel against her own. She was extremely curious so she said the most logical thing she thought at that time, "Kiss me."

Next day, Jihyo woke up with a headache and groaned. She reached for her phone and set off her alarm clock. She stared blankly at the ceiling trying to remember what happened last night. She remembered going to her fave night club, drinking alcohol and the sudden realization that she had made out with a stranger made her grit her teeth.

What the hell was she thinking about?

She can clearly remember his face but she couldn't remember where he've seen him before. The possibility is that he was an actor, a model or maybe an idol since the club don't just let anyone have a special pass.

She kicked her blanket aside as she stood up and took a shower. She still has a work to do and she would worry about Mr. Stranger later.

Arriving at the Running Man set, she saw Yoo Jaesuk drinking coffee with Ji Sukjin. She greeted them and grab herself a cup of coffee. It isn't Americano but she needed it. Other members arrived soon. The guests also arrived but were on the other room. Song Jihyo doesn't know who the guests were but she couldn't care less. She was just trying to stay awake.

The shooting started and one by one, guests were introduced. Jihyo clapped alongside the other members and would laugh at the members and guests bickering.

"B.I and Bobby!" Jaesuk exclaimed welcoming the next guests.

Jihyo almost fainted when she saw the guy standing on the platform with a wide smile plastered on his face. For a moment, their eyes met and she immediately lowered her gaze as she unconsciously clapped with everyone.

How could she not remember that it was Kim Hanbin aka B.I, leader of YG's new boy group iKON. She mentally scolded herself trying to be as calm as possible.

She could feel him look at her every now and then but she did her best to ignore him. Kwangsoo noticed her uneasiness and asked her if she was okay. She nodded and Kwangsoo gave her an encouraging smile.

The shooting went on smoothly until the part where they were to choose their partners for the game. Jihyo along with two of the female guests were to choose between B.I, Bobby and Ji Sukjin.

First, Sukjin sang his heart away to capture the ladies' hearts. Sukjin approached Jihyo and asked her to be his partner.

During that time, Jihyo was having an internal conflict. If she received Sukjin's proposal then the possibility of her being partner with B.I is zero. But being the competitive person she is, becoming a pair with S
