Suppressed Feelings

Jong Hyun has been quiet as he watched Yura's in animated reactions to what Jin Yong noona has been saying. Observing her quirks and mannerisms has been a sight to behold; it puts a smile on his face. They were on a break, just after their meal and just before their fight for the HOUSE.

It was the first time that they met Nam Gong Min and Jin Young couple and as expected, his reserved self has quiet a difficulty in dealing with newly met people. But looking at Yura, oh she's Ahyoung-ie, it’s a piece of cake for her. He has been worried about their contrast personality, but now, after a few episodes, he can say it has been an advantage.

The MC has signalled for them to get ready and Yura approached him. He smiled “Are you ready?”

Yura smiled cheerfully “De Oppa! Let’s do our best to get the house!” she motioned for a high five in which he reciprocated.

“So this is where the real game starts!” the MC Yelled. And so the game started, then ended, they did not win to their dismay.

Jong Hyun went and sat on the chair just outside his waiting room while shaking his head “Waah, that was a leap” he said to himself, thinking of the skinship they did while doing the game. He rubbed his arm, the one that touched her chest accidentally while they went inside the hola hoop. “I hope it gets edited out” he thought, worried. “But I doubt it.”  He fans his reddening face. He then touched his lips “Man! That was close” he exclaimed as he thought of the paper that fell between their lips. He smiled to himself as he wondered what would have happen if they accidentally kissed. He shook his head as if to erase the thought, but then again he smiled goofily.

“Oppa!” Ahyoung called that made him jump “I’m sorry, we lost because of me.” She looked at him and pouted

He looked at her lips, gulped and looked away. “Nah, it’s okay. Maybe we’ll have a proper house in the near future. The rooftop is fine, for now. “ he added gently and glanced back at her luscious lips

“Really? But why are you sulking here?” she asked oblivious of the situation.

He turned his back and pretended to look for something inside his backpack to hide his now blushing face, he knows as he felt it getting warmer by the minute. “a-ahm, I just need some time to freshen up. And I need to charge my phone, I’m waiting for a call.” He said “why don’t you go ahead, and rest. We have some time for ourselves before dinner.” He added. “See you later!” he walked hurriedly inside his waiting room, not looking back

Ahyoung studied his back view as he talked, her forehead creased “O-oppa!” she tried to stop him, her right hand hangs in the air as she does. “He must really be upset” she pouted, turns back and walk towards her own waiting room. She changed her clothes while pondering as to what had happened to Jong Hyun.

Jong Hyun’s PA looks at him. His sweat trailing down his forehead to his aristocratic nose and dropped to the ground as he does push ups. “Yah! You went down there as soon as you walk in, what’s going on?” he asked his arms crossed across his chest, suppressing a chuckle. He has a rough idea why the great Hong Jong Hyun, the ever so reserved and gentleman but playful at times is doing push ups. He can’t blame him really, after he saw what they just did with his WIFE earlier. He waited for him to respond but he said nothing, all he heard was his huffs “Yaah, I understand, one young hot blooded man and a hot girl like h..” he stopped he held his hands up to surrender when he saw Jong Hyun stood up and gave his PA a deathly glare. “Arasso, arasso.” He exclaimed

Jong Hyun went inside the comfort room and freshen up, a little irritated with his PA. “Aishhh.. this hyung.” He whispered. he admitted to himself though that what his PA told him was true. He drew a deep breath to calm himself. He opened the door and asked for his change of clothes. He change swiftly and went out.

AhYoung was pacing in front of Jong Hyun’s waiting room, she dolled up as fast as she can so she can talk to him before the cameras starts to roll. She knocked but her hand landed on Jong Hyun’s chest “Omo Oppa!” she exclaimed and grinned foolishly her hand still on his chest.

Jong Hyun cleared his throat “You’re here!” he said and looked at Ahyoung’s hand on his chest and back to her face. His heart rate has started to rise again. He nonchalantly took her hand off and put it back where it belong, to her side, and gave her a smile.

“Oppa, are you mad?” Ahyoung asked as soon as he stepped out.

He shook his head “I told you it’s okay. Really” he assured her and patted her shoulder lightly

“But..” she started but was interrupted by the staff.

“We’re starting now.” The staff called

They walked and met the other couple again, and were surprised to have another game planned.

--

Jonghyun sat still as he waited Ahyoung’s lips to touch his face. His heartbeat racing but he willed himself to calm down. He felt her soft lips land, and so he can’t help to let go a controlled smile, embarrassed as the sunbaes are watching them intently. And then he felt it again, her lips on his forehead, he sighed. “what am I going to do?” he thought confused of the situation. Not just because of he is about to kiss another guy again but also because he felt it again. He flushed lightly and let out a sigh of defeat. “Should we start eating?” he asked Nam Goong Min instead.

--

They grilled and shared food, have fun conversing with the other couple until they were told it was done. “Okay cut! We’re done for the day! Good job guys!” the PD yelled

Jong Hyun excused himself as soon as the filming was done. He walked towards the dark area of the site and stopped beside a tree. He touched the left side of his chest with his right hand. I must be going crazy” he whispered to himself. He leaned on the tree beside him, exhausted. He never thought containing his emotions could be this hard. He heaved a sigh.

“Oppa! What are you doing here?” he looked at Ahyoung in surprise. His almost calm heartbeat now back on the race track.

“Ahyoung-ah, can you please leave me alone?” he asked in a weak voice.

Worried, Ahyoung walks faster towards him and stopped in front of him, her face inches away from him as she was checking him out.

He inhaled sharply and smelled the sweet fragrance she emits. He studied her worried face and he shut his eyes. 

“A-Ahyoung-ah, jebaaalll..” he pleaded in a soft voice as he buried his face in his hands “Please, for now, please go back.”

She stepped back as she saw his agonized face, wondering what was making him that way. “Uhm... okay... I’ll see you later” she said instead, although her mind is still puzzled as to what has happened.

Jong Hyun exhaled, exasperated, as soon as Ahyoung was out of site. “Aigoo, how am i going to continue this filming with this feeling’s lurking inside me.. otoke?!”
