Jong Kook's POV

Ji Hyo explained about what has happened during the meeting just now. Indeed, Kwang Soo knows about the truth. That would mean that I have to approach Kwang Soo to ask for his understanding when we decided to cover it up by lying that Ji Hyo was dating Chang Joo. 

I planned to find Kwang Soo after the next running man filming, which was tomorrow. 

For now, I and Ji Hyo separated to go home. I hugged Ji Hyo tightly as I whispered to her ears. "Jagiya, rest well. Tomorrow, there's still filming."

"Jagiya, you too. Sleep early. You must have been tired taking care of me last night and you still had filming today." Ji Hyo whispered back to me. 

I nodded, "I will." I told Ji Hyo. Ji Hyo must have felt worried about me working too hard. 

"Text me when you reach home." I told Ji Hyo. 

Ji Hyo's POV

I was held in Jong Kook's tight embrace. 

I felt fortunate to have Jong Kook, the han namja beside me that what I have done earlier on did not make me regret. 

I asked Jong Kook to rest early since we had another filming tomorrow and we bade goodbye. 

"See ya." I told Jong Kook as I walked to my car. 

Jong Kook nodded as he too walked to his car.

Jong Kook's POV

The next morning, I went to the filming set early. Today is a couple race. I met Ji Hyo when she just arrived at the set.

"Oppa, good morning!" She shouted and waved at me from a distance. I waved to her back. 

Her left hand was still wrapped in medicated bandage that I have given her the other day. 

"Is your hand still hurting?" I asked her as I walked nearer to her. 

"A little. It got a bit worse because of the boxing we did yesterday." Ji Hyo said, while shaking her hurting hand. 

"Aigoo. Then why didn't you tell me? We can try not practising so much yesterday." I scolded her as I reached out to grab her hand, wanting to check the injury.

"I'm okay, oppa. Don't need to take it out. I just put it on." Ji Hyo told me. 

I then nodded, saying"Okay, later you change it if it gets wet or dirty."

Soon, we proceeded to start the filming.

Today, we started the opening without Ji Hyo. It was a couple race today and we had a male guest, Do Sang Woo. He was Ji Hyo's co-actor in her recent drama, Ex-Girlfriend Club. He must be Ji Hyo's partner for today, I thought. 

Ji Hyo appeared in a azure blue dress, with a pair of sunglasses and a hat on. She looked stunning, I thought silently as she entered. 

Indeed, what I predicted was true and on the other hand, I was paired off with a model, Irene Kim. 

We started with the first mission: To carry our partners on the floating board for three seconds. We started off with the guests dancing and when the whistle blows, we could run a round of the pool and get to the floating board where the females are standing. 

During the first round, Sang Woo carried Ji Hyo first, but they fell into the water as they lost their balance. 

During the second round, both Sang Woo with Ji Hyo and I with Irene both were pushed and fell into the waters simultaneously. 

After that, Jae Suk proposed a game to test the couple's chemistry. And when Ji Hyo and Sang Woo chose the same choice, Sang Woo became excited and touched Ji Hyo's shoulders. But I ignored his actions, thinking that it was nothing. 

Then, we had a couple dance mission to determine the order the guys stand. Seeing that Ji Hyo would be getting touchy with Sang Woo, I looked away temporarily as they danced.

We then proceeded to the third round. Both Ji Hyo and my group did not win as we were pushed into the waters as expected. 

The next mission is to memorise and act out the actions of the previous group. The first theme is lovebirds and I brainstormed for ideas and decided to carry Irene on my shoulders. 

The poses the other groups in front were doing required much flexibility and I was worried for Ji Hyo that her injured hand might make it painful while trying out these actions. But luckily, she managed to complete the poses, including the bridge and I sighed with relief. Ji Hyo's group then came up with a cute pose, a children's play. 

I tried the actions and when it came to Ji Hyo's action, I did it. But Ji Hyo started complaining that I was not looking at Irene's eyes. 

Ji Hyo ah, do you think I could look at other women' eyes except yours? I silently thought. 

During the third round, Kwang Soo's partner did a spilt while Kwang Soo twisted his legs. When it was Ji Hyo's turn, she tried doing the spilt with Kwang Soo supporting her. But, she could not fully stretch out her legs. Haha started picking on her spilt and I also took part in picking on her.

In the end, the PD decided to fail Ji Hyo and Ji Hyo felt unfair about the PD's decision and she suddenly fumed.  

She asked Irene to try the spilt along with the other female guests. The female guests were scared and Irene even wanted to try. I hastily held her up. 

Then, Ji Hyo suddenly shouted, "Kim Jong Kook sshi!" She turned around to look at me. I was scared of her when she became angry and quickly backed away behind Haha. "Oh no, I must have made her angry." I thought. 

When we were leaving the location, I went up to Ji Hyo and gave her a light hug to calm her down. Kwang Soo and Haha also came up t
