Ji Hyo's POV

Every one of us sat down, together with Hwan Jin PD. Coffee is served to us. I bit my bottom lip, anxious as I know what he might tell us. I had known glimpses of their plan since yesterday, and I honestly feel uneasy about it.

Hwan Jin PD cleared his throat. "So... Song Ji Hyo-ssi will be joining We Are In Love, the Chinese spinoff of We Got Married."

I immediately checked everyone's reactions. Jae Suk oppa(used by females to address older brothers) and Jong Kook oppa seemed a bit shocked, but masked it quite well. Haha oppa and Kwang Soo looked shocked, as well. Their eyes were fixed on someone. I followed their gaze. It's Kang Gary. Yes, he looked really mong(blank), but I know that he has also known what lies ahead of us. Confused Suk Jin oppa blurted out quickly, "Jinjja?(Really?)" and Hwan Jin PD nodded slowly.

"Hajiman(But), doesn't the rule for such shows state that they may not be involved in relationships or lovelines?" Jaesuk oppa said. Others nod in agreement to the nation's MC.

"That's why. Noona(used by males to address older sisters) is already linked to Gary hyung(used by males to address older brothers). Wolyo Couple, Wolyo Couple (Monday Couple, Monday Couple or also known as MC)," exclaimed Kwang Soo.

"Which is why we will need to cut it off for now," said Hwan Jin PD. His voice hinted sadness and unwillingness. Everyone looked shocked, again. The uneasiness I felt started to get worse. I felt my heart fell seeing the looks on my oppas and my Kwang-dongsaeng(little brother/sister ; in this case, little brother).

"Ige mwoya, jigeum... (What is this, now...)," Jaesuk oppa let out a sad sigh. Gary oppa did the same, and let out a "Stres~s!"

"Ya(Hey), Ji Hyo ya(in this case doesn't mean 'hey'), do you have to join that show?" Haha oppa curiously asked. I felt a little cornered by that question. "Aniya(No) oppa... It's not like that... M-Mianhae...(Sorry...)," my voice sounded far away.

"Gwenchana(It's alright) Ji Hyo ya. We'll support you in whatever you wish to do as long as it doesn't harm you," Haha oppa said, encouraging me. I smiled at him gratefully for his understanding, my eyes thanking him. I know deep inside he doesn't want to break MC too. I looked around and my eyes caught Gary oppa's. The look of total unwillingness is evident in his eyes. Others seemed to have the same unwillingness, too. But everyone wants to support me. They want me to be happy in what I decide to do.

"Alright, then. So, what should we do?" Jaesuk oppa brought the topic up carefully.

"Well... The producers of that show had emailed us about the most recent episodes, notably the ones in Jeju and Dubai..." Hwanjin PD started.

"Jeju and Dubai?" Jong Kook hyung thought for a while. "Ah, when uri(our) Gary-Ji Hyo were sent by fate to Jeju for the mission?"

"Oh, and the part when Gary said 'Chen Bolin, out!' must've been the blow for that show," Haroro added.

"True, true," Suk Jin hyung nodded in agreement, then continued, "But why Dubai?"

"Eish hyung...don't you remember they had lovey-dovey quality time together back there?" Kwang Soo teased. Everyone chuckled at the thought of that. Me, too. And I caught Gary oppa smiling widely as well.

Jae Suk oppa cleared his throat. "Well... What did they say?" All eyes turned to the PD.

"They want us to lay MC down as long as we can, if not permanently since the rule is that no relationships/lovelines outside the show are allowed... They want Ji Hyo-ssi and Bo Lin-ssi to look real, even though it is just for the show, thus wanting uri MC to...stop, if possible," Hwan Jin PD continued.
