Part 3/3

WARNING: CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE!

––––––––––––––––––––––––

As the race starts, everyone is now begining to search for one another. But in the case of Jong Kook, he's just being dragged by Eun Hye.

As time goes by. The more bored Jong Kook got. All the meanwhile Sun Bin and Kwang Soo is killing it. It seems that Sun Bin REALLY wants to win.

"Where is everyone?!" Eun Hye complained. As they were yet to meet anyone.

And out of the corner there was someone. They are Ji Hyo and Suk Jin. What are the odds? As they met eye to eye, Eun Hye smirked. "Well, well, well. We meet again."

Suk Jin has an angry face. While Ji Hyo is just mong as usual. Jong Kook is looking at Ji Hyo intensively. He was caught in his own world looking at Ji Hyo.

"Oppa!" Eun Hye yelled calling Jong Kook back to the real world. He was disappointed and mad at Eun Hye. "What?" He asks with no intention on hearing the answer. "Help me fight them!" She nags as she pulls his arm so that he moves. He just sighs and moved towards the two.

He rushed in towards them and grabbed Ji Hyo. He intentionally aimed for Ji Hyo, hugging her so that she couldn't move. "Yah, oppa! Let go of me!" She said while trying to pry off of him. She secretly hoped that he didn't let go, wanting to stay in his arms for at least a few moments.

Meanwhile, Suk Jin is trying to get Eun Hye away from him and Ji Hyo. Eun Hye noticed that Jong Kook is hugging Ji Hyo. She got furious, her face wasn't showing it but her voice gave it all away. "Oppa! Help me break their bracelet and stop hugging her!"

Jong Kook didn't listen to her and stayed the way he is currently. So then at the midst of rage, Eun Hye scratched Ji Hyo and made it look like an accident. Her long nails scratched Ji Hyo's right cheek, good thing it didn't get her eye. Her cheek was bleeding, Jong Kook who realized what was happening immediately released their hug and started to inspect Ji Hyo's face.

"Ji Hyo unnie, I'm SO sorry!" She "apologized". The fakeness of her words can be sensed from all around the globe, and no one is buying her lies. Jong Kook rolled his eyes. "Ji Hyo-ya, are you okay?" Jong Kook lightly pressed his hand to her cheek, closing the scar. Ji Hyo nodded her head, but a breath through her teeth.

"Jong Kook-a, bring Ji Hyo to the changing room, get some bandaid to cover her bleeding." Suk Jin said while ripping his and Jong Kook's couple bracelet off. Jong Kook nodded and lead Ji Hyo to the changing room.

Eun Hye then pointed towards Suk Jin after the VJ's turned their camera off. "You, listen here. Don't think I don't know what you're doing. Jong Kook is mine and there's nothing you can do to stop me from getting him."

Suk Jin just scoffed and pushed her hand away from him. "Try me." He said. Eun Hye groaned and stomped off. Suk Jin smirked feeling accomplished. He decided to follow the two to the changing room to catch up with them later on.

In the changing room

Jong Kook applied the antiseptic into the cotton and lightly dab it on the cut. Ji Hyo hissed in pain. "Sorry." Jong Kook apologized after removing the cotton bud away. Ji Hyo just shook her head. "Don't worry, just get it over with."

Jong Kook then put a bandaid over the cut after he had cleansed it with the antiseptic. "Are you okay?" He asked once more just to be sure. "Yes, oppa. I'm alright. It's just a little cut, it won't kill me." She said rolling her eyes while smiling.

Jong Kook pouted. "I'm just worried about you." Ji Hyo giggled at his response and his pout.

They stayed on the couch sitting there for a while, until Jong Kook asked her a question. "Was it real?" Ji Hyo raised her eyebrow not understanding. "What you said earlier. The thing that you whispered to me. Did you really mean it?" He said shyly, looking down.

Ji Hyo smiled, finally understanding. She held his hands, that made him look at her. "I did mean it," She paused. "I do love you, oppa. It's not a joke or just for the show, it's real. I really do love you. I know it was odd and out of nowhere. But I just had to. I was so jealous. I didn't really think twice about it. I just went all out. Please understand my feelings. Please don't get mad at me. Please return it." She said. At first she was confident with her words, but as she got to the end she starts to sulk, feeling unsure.

He was sad to look at her sulking like this, so he pulled her into a hug. The hug was more intimate than their usual hugs. Ji Hyo was surprised at first but returned the hug nonetheless.

"Don't worry Ji Hyo-ya. You don't have to and you won't have to, because I love you too. I loved you since the longest of time. And I'm not joking either when I say that this is different from my past relationships. It feels different, what I'm feeling for you, it's different than the feelings I felt for my ex's. You're different Ji Hyo-ya, and that makes me love you even more. I can feel that you're the one for me. The one and last for me. I won't let you go. I know I'm late, but I will never let go of you now. I love you Cheon Seong Im." He said as he pulled her closer. He can feel her smiling as she press her face on his chest.

They sat like that until they heard a knocking on the door followed by Suk Jin's voice. "Hey, you two, I don't want to be that guy who ruins the fun or anything, but we still need to work you know? So please come back out before the others would suspect that something is happening."

The two laughed and decided to tidy up a little and go out and continue their recording.

Time skip

At the end it was no surprise that's Sun Bin and Kwang Soo won. Her determination was just too high for anyone else to beat.

So now they're gathering around in the main area, and Kwang Soo couldn't help but notice the bandaid on Ji Hyo's face. "Noona, what happened to this?" He asked while pointing at his right cheek indicating her's. Which turne
