-Song Ji Hyo-
Everything in life happens for a reason. So there must be a reason why Jong Kook is trying to kiss me right now. We were both standing in front of the school and it was really dark outside. Nobody else was here.

"What are you doing?" I asked Jong Kook.

"Ji Hyo, I really like you. so much." Jong Kook whispered. "And it's just so hard seeing you with Gary. You don't understand how hard it is for me."

I blinked. "Jong Kook, I... I also like you."

Jong Kook's eyes widened. "Are you serious? Stop joking Ji Hyo."

"I really do. But I never wanted to admit it because... You were such a jerk to me." I said quietly.

Jong Kook sighed and put his hand on my shoulder. "Ji Hyo ah.... I was a jerk to you because I liked you."

We both looked at each other and he slowly leaned in. I didn't move because for some reason I wanted him to do it. Just as his lips was about to touch mine, somebody shook my shoulder.

I woke up and saw my mom shaking my shoulder.

"Ji Hyo, wake up!" My mom said angrily. "It's 2 p.m and you're still sleeping."

"Wait... What just..." I looked around and saw that I was still in my room. It was just a dream... Only a dream.

I shook my head and tried to get the image of Jong Kook kissing me out of my head. Why would I even dream about something like that? That's... Gross!

I sighed and got out of bed. "Sorry. I slept late last night."

"Jong Kook wanted to take you out somewhere today. He's been waiting outside for at least an hour." My mom said. "Wear something nice, okay?"

I nodded and watched as my mom left the room. When she left, I quickly got out of bed and started to get dressed. I just put on the first thing that I saw in my closet which was a pink shirt with skinny jeans. I grabbed my purse and ran downstairs.

Jong Kook was waiting outside the door with two cups of coffee in his hand. He smiled when he saw me and handed me one.

I smiled and took the coffee from him. "Thank you. It's my favorite one too!"

"Good. I wanted to go somewhere with you today." Jong Kook said.

"Where?" I asked, taking a sip of my coffee.

"You know Han River Park?" Jong Kook asked.

Of course I do. It's where Gary asked me out. I nodded, "Yeah."

"Would you mind going with me? Break ends in three days and we weren't really able to spend much time with each other." Jong Kook noted.

I shrugged and smiled. "Sure. I have nothing else planned for today."

"Great. Let's go then."

***
It started raining on the way to Han River Park. I looked out the windows of The car and sighed. I still couldn't get that dream out of my head. This was the first time I ever dreamed about Jong Kook, and I never expected it to be like that. I always dreamed I would dream myself throwing eggs or pie at him in front of the whole school.

"What are you thinking about?" Jong kook asked.

"Oh nothing.... It's raining outside." I pointed out.

Jong Kook nodded. "Sorry... I didn't check the weather today."

"It's okay." I looked at him. "What are we going to do then?"

"I was going to have a picnic in front of the river..." Jong Kook glanced outside. "But I guess we have to find something else to do. I don't want you to catch a cold."

"We can still go for a while. I don't mind the rain." I said.

"Are you sure?" Jong Kook asked.

I nodded. "Yep."

"Okay.  Yah, driver!"

The driver looked back and I was surprised to see Chanyeol. "Yes?"

"You're a driver too?" I asked, confused. "I thought you were the gardener."

"I'm also a driver. Plot twist, I'm ALSO the cook of the house." Chanyeol smiled.

"Okay, no one cares. Could you still take us to Han River?" Jong Kook asked.

"In this weather?" Chanyeol asked. "It's pouring!"

"It's not your choice. Drive us there, okay?" Jong Kook said.

Chanyeol nodded and sighed.

When we got to Han River, Jong Kook got out of the car first and told me to wait. He ran around the car to my door and quickly took off his sweater and put it over his head. Jong Kook opened my door, and pulled me out.

"Come here." Jong Kook said quickly.

I stood underneath his sweater and smiled at him. "Who knew that Jong Kook would ever have to be my umbrella someday?"

"Things change." Jong Kook smiled and we both ran to a bench and sat down with the sweater still over our heads. "Sorry about this. It's actually raining more now."

I smiled and looked at him. "I love it!"

Jong Kook also looked at me and smiled. "Ji Hyo, your hair is all wet!"

"So is yours!" I said.

  We both looked at each other, smiling. Then, just like my dream, Jong Kook leaned in and kissed me. My eyes widened and I quickly pushed him away.

"Yah!" I said getting angry.

I know I sort of liked it in the dream, but I realized that I was still with Gary and it would break his heart if he found out this happened. And it would break our relationship.

"What?" Jong Kook asked.

"How can you kiss me when you know I'm dating Gary?" I asked in shock.

"Ji Hyo, I know you have some feelings for me too. Don't deny it." Jong Kook said. "Why don't you just break up with Gary and be my girlfriend?"

"Are you crazy?" I stood up. "Jong Kook, I actually thought you changed, but you're still the same jerk since I first met you."

"I like you Ji Hyo! I'm sorry for liking you." Jong Kook also stood up and put his sweater on me. I quickly took it off and threw it back at him.

"I can't believe you suggested me breaking up with Gary so that I can be with you!" I exclaimed. "What about Eun Hye?"

"Who cares about Eun Hye!" Jong Kook said. "I don't like her the way I like you! I want you Ji Hyo, not Eun Hye. I want to marry you."

I stepped away from him. "No... No we have to go back Jong Kook. I need to go home."

"You have..."

"Ah, Ji Hyo? You're here?"

I turned around and saw Lizzy and Nichkhun walking towards us happily. Nichkhun waved then noticed Jong Kook, "What is he doing here?"

"Are you guys on a date?" Lizzy asked in shock.

I shook my head. "No, we just came out here for some fresh air.. what are you doing here?"

  "We're on a date, but then it started pouring!" Lizzy pouted. "My make up got all ruined."

Nichkhun smiled and looked at Lizzy. "You still look beautiful, don't worry."

"Don't I always?" Lizzy smiled and flipped her hair dramatically.

"You two are dating?" I asked. "Since when? Yesterday?"

"We've actually been together for a week and half but..." Lizzy glanced at Nichkhun. "We didn't want to tell anyone about it."

"Cool." I said flatly.

"That's good for you." Jong Kook said with the same tone.

"Is this a bad time?" Nichkhun asked looking at us.

"No, but do you think you can take me to Jong Kook's house?"I asked.

  "Why don't you two just go back in the same car?" Nichkhun asked.

"I dont want to be in the same car as him." I said looking back at Jong Kook who sighed.

"Um, okay." Nichkhun glanced at Lizzy who shrugged/ "My car's just down there. I'll take you... home."

I smiled and followed Nichkhun adn Lizzy to the car, leaving Jong Kook standing alone in the rain.

***

I was sitting in the back seat of Nichkhun's car. "When did you get your driver's license?"

"A few days ago." Nickhun answered.

"Ah, that;s awesome." I said. "You're the only person I know who can drive.. that's still in high school."

At that moment, my phone vibrated. I looked at it and saw that I had a text from Gary.

Gary: Ji Hyo ah! What are you doing right now?

Ji Hyo: I'm in the car with Nichkhun and Lizzy. How about you?

Gary: I'm on my way back to Seoul.

Ji Hyo: Really? Already?

Gary: Yeah. I'll probably arrive tomorrow morning. I'll come to you first!

Ji Hyo: Okay! I can't wait to see you Gary. I'll be at Jong Kook's place so you can come and pick me up there.

Gary: Okay, I'll see you then.

Ji Hyo: Okay oppa.

I smiled and put my phone away. "Gary is coming back tomorrow."

"Oh, really?" Lizzy asked.

I nodded and looked out the window. When Gary comes back I won't have to be in the same house as Jong Kook anymore. I just can't tell him what happened earlier....

Next morning

"No!" I heard someone yell.

I woke up from my sleep, startled. I checked my clock and saw that it was about 6 a.m.  I slowly got out of bed and peeked outside. It was completely empty, but I saw that Jong Kook's door was open. I walked towards his room and slowly looked inside, but no one was in there. Confused, I looked around wondering where he could be. One thing I knew for sure was that that was definitely Kim Jong Kook's voice.

  I checked downstairs, but no one was there either. Then I decided to go up to the third floor. I slowly walked upstairs, and saw that the room at the end of the hallway was wide open and the lights were turned on. I looked around and carefully walked into the room and saw Jong Kook sitting beside a bed. On the bed was an old man whom I've seen before many times walking around Running Man High. It was Jong Kook's dad.

Jong Kook looked up. "What are you doing here?" He wiped away his tears.

"What happened?" I asked and looked at his dad. "Is he okay?"

Jong Kook glanced at his dad and started crying again. Shocked, I quickly walked over to him and put my hand on his shoulder. I sat down beside Jong Kook and quickly realized the situation. There was no need to ask him what the situation was. I looked at his dad and saw that his eyes were closed. I felt myself tearing up too.

Jong Kook told me a few days ago that his dad wasn't doing well....

I looked at Jong Kook. "It's going to be okay.." I comforted.

Jong Kook put his head on my shoulder and started crying more. "How? How Ji Hyo? How will it be okay?"

I didn't answer.

"I have to go... tell my mom."

"Your mom is working." I reminded him.

"I can't just leave him here like this. What am I supposed to do? I don't want to call her..." Jong Kook said.

"I'll call an ambulance." I said quickly and took out my phone. I dialed 911. "Hello, we need an ambulance please. Somebody died...."

At that moment, Jong Kook stood up and quickly went downstairs. I followed him after hanging up the phone.

"Jong Kook!" I shouted. "Jong Kook where are you going?"

Jong Kook ran outside and then fell on his knees. He was crying harder now. I didn't know what I was supposed to do because I've never seen Jong Kook like this before. I sat down next to him againa nd kept saying that it was going to be okay.

-Kang Gary-

I stood in front of Jong Kook's house, smiling. My plane just got here thirty minutes ago and I came here to pick her up, as promised. I was about to enter the premises when I saw Jong Kook running outside. I hid behind a tree and saw that Ji Hyo came outside as well.

What's happening...

I saw that Jong Kook was crying, which he doesn't usually do. I kept watching them and saw thar JI Hyo put her hand on his shoulder and she kept talking to him quietly. Jong  Kook looked up at her and she smiled a little. I wish I knew what they were saying, but I wasn't close enough. Just then, I saw Ji Hyo leaning in towards Jong Kook.

No...

She kissed him and what made me even angrier was that Jong Kook didn't even pull away. They just kissed as if they forgot about me. Did Ji Hyo forget that I was dating her? Why would she do something like that?

  I couldn't stand it anymore. I came out of my hiding place and walked towards them. "YAH!"

They both looked up, startled at my sudden appearance.

Ji Hyo put her hand over her mouth and her eyes widened in shock. "Gary..."

"I guess you forgot that I was coming." I said angrily.

"No Gary..." Ji Hyo stuttered. "I..I"

"Stop Ji Hyo. I saw what just happened." I said. "I came to take you home, but I guess you enjoy being here better."

I looked at Jong Kook then started to walk away.

"OPPA!" Ji Hyo cried out, but I ignored her.

-Kim Jong Kook-

Ji Hyo has been in her room all day. When my mom came home, I told her what happened. The ambulance had already come and taken my dad to the hospital. I still couldn't believe this happened... I just...

We were on our way to the hospital right now.

"We'll have a funeral in two days." My mom whispered.

I nodded, but couldn't answer. I looked out the window and held back my tears.

***

Two days later

A lot of people from school came to my father's funeral, and more of our family members and relatives were also here. I saw Ji Hyo walking in with Ailee and Park Shin Hye. She sat right behind me, but I didn't greet her. For some reason I didn't feel like talking to her after what happened with us and Gary. It wasn't right. Gary and Ji Hyo belonged with each other, and I was ruining their relationship.
I looked back and saw that Gary even walked in with one of his friends, Gil. They sat in the last row with Kim Woo Bin, Lee Min Ho, Kwang Soo, and Jae Suk. I sighed and ignored Ji Hyo when she tapped on my shoulder. She shouldn't be talking to me, and I can't talk to her. Not anymore.

~~~

After the funeral, my mom stopped me outside the hallway. She was crying.

Seeing my mom cry made me want to cry, but I pushed the tears back. I had to be strong in front of her.

"Son, what are we going to do?" She asked quietly.

"We can get through this." I swallowed. "Mom, you can't cry. It's going to be okay, okay? Dad... dad wouldn't be happy if he saw you like this."

At that comment, my mom bursted into tears. I couldn't help but cry as well. After a few moments I said, "I'll marry Eun Hye."

My mom looked up, tears still pouring down. "W-what?"

"I'll marry her." I repeated. "And I'll be in charge of Running Man High."

"You don't have to if you don't want to.." My mom said quietly.

I looked at her. "I... want to. Father would've wanted this."

My mom smiled a little, but still cried at the same time.

-Song Ji Hyo-

"Gary! Kang Gary!" I followed Gary out of the funeral place. He was angry at me, and I knew why. But it's not right for him to be ignoring me this way. "Gary!!"

Gary stopped walking and turned around to face me. "What? What Ji Hyo?"

"Please stop acting like this!" I begged.

"You just want me to pretend that I didn't see you and Jong Kook kiss?" Gary exclaimed.

"His father just died!" I said.

"Usually when someone's parent's die you go to their house and pay respects. Not to kiss!" Gary noted angrily.

"What else... Jong Kook tried to kiss me a few days ago, but I pushed him away because I knew it wasn't right!" I said.

"So it's suddenly okay if their parents die? I understand he's going through some pain right now, but Ji Hyo you have to listen to me. This is the guy that turned your life into a living hell. He ruined your life! How could you be so stupid?"

"What did you just say?" I asked angrily. "People deserve second chances Gary."

"Since when do you believe in second chances, huh?" Gary walked towards me. "So, you're just going to give HaHa a second chance even though he took your house away from you?"

I stayed quiet because I knew that Gary was right. But I can't help it if I also have some feelings for Jong Kook. I can't control my heart.

"I think we need to take a break." Gary said quietly.

"What?" I asked.

"Me and you. We need to break up. How can I trust you Ji Hyo?" Gary asked. "I leave for a few days and you're already with somebody else. Do you know how hurtful that is for me?"

"You're really breaking up with me?" I asked in shock. I wanted to cry, but I didn't. "Kang Gary, you're being too over dramatic."

"I guess I am." Gary looked at me one last time and walked away.

"YAH!" I shouted, but he just kept walking.

I started to cry, but I wiped my tears when I saw Jong Kook walking outside followed by Kwang Soo and HaHa,

I walked towards him, "Jong Kook..."

But Jong Kook didn't answer. Instead he walked right past me... as if I wasn't even there.
