[M] Chapter 5 (1/1)

Jong Kook's POV:"AH Jae Suk Hyung!"I run over to him and excitedly give him a hug, happy to see someone I'm close to. "Ya...Kim Kook Jong...Your muscles are choking me."I smile and let him go quickly, leaving Jae Suk rubbing his shoulders painfully. "Jong Kook ah, meet all the other cast members."I'm introduced to each one of them, and also give a death crushing hug to Ha Dong Hoon as I pass by."We're waiting for one more person, the PD says it's a surprise."Haha perks up and licks his lips."SNSD?!"Everyone laughs at Haha's eagerness and the excitement in the room grows. Soon, we hear the door open slowly and all of us stand to get a good look. The girl who walks in looks flawless, light, smokey makeup, a gorgeous white dress, and black lacey heels. It takes me a couple seconds to actually realize who she is, and then I freeze. Oh shit. Song Ji Hyo. Crap, does she remember me from the bar? The memories of that night flash back, and I fight the blush that's coming to my cheeks. She looks around the room nervously, before landing her eyes on me. I stiffen and hold my breath, hoping she doesn't recognize me. Her cheeks pale and she stares at me with a humilated expression, and I see memories of the bar dancing through her eyes. Yup, she recognizes me.Shit. Ji Hyo's POV:"Woah! Song Ji Hyo!! Welcome welcome!"All the members greet me politely, but one stays distant, smiling awkwardly. Kim Jong Kook. He's in a nice suit that brings out his slim, fit body, and his hair is styled to the side with a red tinge in it. His features are as perfect as I remember them, and I can't help but feel immense attraction towards him. Our eyes meet and I know he's caught me staring at him. I blush deeply and look away, trying not to feel his eyes on me. "Ji Hyo, you alright? You look a bit flushed." Gary tells me. I nod frantically, saying I'm okay. But anyone can see the awkwardness in my stance and the way my eyes dart around quickly. "Well, why don't you take a seat...here. The PD is going to talk to us about today."He points to the only empty seat, which happens to be right next to Jong Kook. Great. I swallow and carefully slip onto the chair, feeling the tension between us immedialty. This is going to be a long day...The PD is done explaining, and we are all in colorful jumpsuits that make us look absolutely ridiculous. I glance over at Jong Kook, who is happily talking to Haha. How is it that he still looks sexy in a suit like this?! "Hey, baby."A deep voice interrupts my thoughts about Jong Kook, and I turn around to see Gary standing right in front of me. I smile at his unusual greeting and I begin talking with him, feeling comfortable already. Soon the PD splits us into teams and the 1st episode begins. **************"And cut! Great job today, everyone!"I smile and clap, happy with the first day. It was more enjoyable than I thought, and I grew closer to Gary along the way. "Ji Hyo, want to join us all for dinner? Don't worry, we're not going to a bar." Haha teases me and I glare at him, my face turning red. Memories of Jong Kook's lips on mine cloud my thoughts and I struggle to keep my face straight. "I guess I'll go..."Haha smiles and grabs my hand, pulling towards the others. "Ji Hyo's coming with us!""But there not enough room for all of us in the car...""It's fine! Jong Kook brought his own car, he could drive Ji Hyo there!"What? I look at Jong Kook, frightened. He looks back with the same expression before we both blush and look away. "Yea...I'll take her." Jong Kook says hesitantly. There's an awkward silence and the air between us is thick. The other members look back and forth between us before shrugging and telling us to meet us there. "Let's go then...Miss Song."He holds out his hand in a friendly gesture, and I take it, feeling a spark when we touch. We walk to the car together in silence, both of us deep in our thoughts. He opens the door for me and I can't help the smile that comes to my face. No one has ever been this polite to me, not even Tae Hoon. "Miss Song? " he says with a small grin, motioning to the open door. I look at him and he looks back, the attraction between us unbearable."Please, call me Ji Hyo."
