The Address

Somebody Else

The day after their seventh year anniversary, a picture, which she was in along with Ji Hoon and Jong Kook, has surfaced online. It became a hot topic, and it is still a hot topic as of the moment. In the picture, Ji Hoon was seen smiling for the first time, as well as the diamond ring that she's wearing. Jong Kook, on the other hand, looked just plain. Her mobile phone rings, and she quickly answered it. "No,I'm okay. I'm really okay." she told her famous younger brother. The person on the other line asked again and so she said, "Joong Ki, I'm really fine." 

She was in her room when her instict told her to turn on the television. She was surprised to see the breaking news. The newscaster is saying that the Crown Prince, himself, will address the said issue about the hot topic. She scrunched her forehead when she saw the face of her royal boyfriend. She knows something is off looking at his facial expressions. In a while, she can now see that her boyfriend is on the stage, ready to announce something. 'Ji Hoon-ah, don't tell me you'll reveal our relationship now? It might ruin you. Don't announce it yet.' she said worriedly.

The young prince sighed as he glances at the main camera as he said, "I'm here to address the issue about me dating a woman named Song Ji Hyo." He looked at Ji Hoon with a worried face. Just earlier, he saw him talking with his royal father and his royal older brother. He knows something is up because the seriousness of his face is totally seen on the national television. "It is not true. I am not dating her." he then told the public. 'I knew it.' he told himself, but he looked at him again when the prince added, "It's not me that she's dating, it's Kim Jong Kook, my bodyguard."

Her tears fell when she heard the words from her boyfriend's mouth. Yes, she wishes that their relationship won't be revealed yet, so both of them can still freely date, but with the announcement that he just said, she knows things will start to be complicated. It's not easy to be in a relationship with a famous public figure, but things will never be easier for them now. She understands why he needed to lie in front of the public, but she doesn't understand why he has used Kim Jong Kook as an excuse to hide their hidden relationship. 

Her phone rings again, and she knows it's her younger brother, popular actor Song Joong Ki, who is calling. He probably has seen the news about Ji Hoon denying the issue. If Jong Kook knows what she means to Ji Hoon, Joong Ki knows what Ji Hoon means to her. It was actually because of Joong Ki that he met the Crown Prince. "It's okay, I'm just a little surprised and hurt, but I'm okay." she said to the person on the other line. "You don't need to run over here, Joong Ki-ah. Do what you have to do in there. You're an actor. Be professional." she told Joong Ki. 

Kim Jong Kook looked at Joo Ji Hoon with a very surprised face. He couldn't believed that he told the public viewers that his girlfriend of seven years, Song Ji Hyo, is not dating him. He knows how hurt Ji Hoon is inside, but he's more surprised to his excuse just to save his royal family's reputation. He thought Ji Hoon can defy anything for the woman he loves, but after the said announcement, he is trying to comprehend why and how the young prince will be able to adjust to the situation when he knows his relationship with Song Ji Hyo will now have lots of complications.

Chapter 8: Ooh glad to see that consequences have been taken for Joong Ki's actions- although omg a live broadcast? How are they going to edit the footage down to the hour long episode etc?

Chapter 7: I like that the plot is moving semi-fast, I mean short chapters and all and you have the two fake couple causally enjoying a meal and complimenting each other (d'aww)
Just a few things though! You'd think beating up a guest? would be a more serious problem and also I feel like it would be a little easier to read if you started a new paragraph every time a different person is speaking, because I got their lines confused a couple times (and it just is easier to read spaced out more ^^;)
