Gangnam Style!
Kang Soo Ah watched RM's back as he walked in front of her. She put her hands behind her and tilted her head wondering what he was thinking now. They'd been walking through this tiny town for a while now but he didn't say anything he just kept walking and Soo Ah kept following.
She finally sighed and ran up next to him, "Where are we going?"
RM didn't reply and just walked in a daze.
"RM it's going to get dark soon-" Soo Ah stopped in her tracks when he looked down at her, "....what?"
"Nothing," he grumbled, slightly disappointed she was still calling him RM and started to walk again.
Soo Ah pouted and followed him again, looking around here, "How did you know to come here anyway?"
RM slightly turned to look at her looking at the small buildings and shops, "Kyungmin's file."
Soo Ah nodded as she carried on looking around, "It's so empty."
He looked around and noticed that there was hardly a soul around, "...This was her hometown."
Soo Ah looked up at him now while still walking, "Your omma's?"
"Yeah," he sighed and carried on walking too through the empty town as if he was imagining his mother walking around the place. She must have gone into that shop that he just went past was all he could think of. That bakery must be where she bought her bread, she must have sat on that bench, had lunch with friends at that cafe was all he could think.
Suddenly both of them heard loud cheers and claps coming from down the road, they looked at each other before peering over to see what the noise was about.
"Come on!" Soo Ah headed in front of RM pulling him along with her.
He let her pull her as he placed his free hand in his pocket not really bothered about what was going on.
"OMO! That's where everyone was!!" Soo Ah clapped excitedly and left him to run to the large crowd that had gathered in the town square.
"Excuse me....excuse me," Soo Ah squeezed her way through the crowd all the way to the front and watched some sort of game or competition happening.
RM stood behind the crowd wondering where Soo Ah had got to.
"What's going on?" Soo Ah asked one of the ahjussi next to her.
"You don't know?" he laughed, "You must not be local then."
"No," Soo Ah shook her head as she watched what seemed like couples do different things.
"This is our town's annual event for newly wedded couples, our little way of saying congratulations," the ahjussi explained while Soo Ah nodded along, "What we do is have a mini competition of little games to test their love for each other and whoever wins gets a year's worth of prized Korean beef set!"
"A YEAR'S WORTH??!!" Soo Ah exclaimed as the man pointed out the stack of delicious Korean beef in the front, "....I want....."
"Why don't you join in? Do you have a husband?" the ahjussi asked.
For the first time in her life she so wished she had one, I mean it was korean beef!!!! Heol! Maybe it was because she hadn't had anything to eat the whole day but she could have sworn the beef was talking to her saying 'Soo Ah eat me...eat meeeeeee'.
She pouted, "I wish I did- ack,"
"Yah why did you run off," RM suddenly appeared beside her yanking her back.
"Oh mian-"
"So this must be your husband," the ajhussi smiled.
"HUH?! WHAT?!!" Soo Ah and RM exclaimed at the same time.
"WAIT A MINUTE!" the ahjussi stepped forward and turned to the crowd, "We have one of couple! Here come on!" he waved RM and Soo Ah over to him.
"What the hell have you done this time?" RM muttered into Soo Ah's ear.
"I don't know....I just-"
"Come on!" the ahjussi pulled Soo Ah and RM into the clearing and stood them besides the other actual couples.
"Why don't you introduce yourselves then," a ahjumma walked over to them with a microphone, "Let's start with the wife"
"Wife?" Soo Ah mouthed at RM in panic who just shook his head in disbelief, she turned back around to the crowd and bowed awkwardly before holding the microphone close to her mouth, "Uhum...annyeonghaseyo....Kang.. Kang Soo Ah imnida...."
"OHHHHH PRETTY," the ahjumma smiled as the crowd cheered the tomato red Soo Ah, "Now for the handsome husband."
RM sighed and glared angrily at Soo Ah before bowing, "Annyeonghaseyo R.... Kim Namjoon imnida."
Soo Ah looked up suddenly in shock, she blinked and shook her head at him. RM noticed her gaping at her from the corner of his eyes but just ignored her.
"Kang...Kim?" the ahjumma asked.
"Huh?...oh that's what I was trying to say we're not-" Soo Ah looked at her and the crowd.
"They must be newlyweds and the bride must have forgotten to use her husband's name ahahahaha!" someone laughed from the crowd and everyone joined in.
"Aha...ahah" Soo Ah smiled awkwardly and looked at RM trying to say 'DO SOMETHING!' with her eyes.
"HAHAHAH ok ok," ahjumma hushed the crowd down, "Shall we start then?!"
"YEAHHHHH!" the crowd and the other couples shouted.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Where's Soo Ah?" Lee Hyerin asked coming out of Soo Ah's room and into the lounge.
"Oh yeah I was wondering that too," Nam Suji said furrowing her brows.
"Um...." Kyungmin tried to casually change the TV channel, "I....don't know."
Suji sat next to Kyungmin and took the TV control off her, "Kyungmin, you know you're the worst liar ever,"
Kyungmin's eyes widened as she avoided eye contact, "Aha...why would...you say that?"
"Why are stuttering then?" Hyerin sat next to her.
"I...am?" Kyungmin's voice suddenly went high.
"You are!" Hyerin crossed her arms across her chest.
Kyungmin looked at the two and then but her lip anxiously, "Promise you won't be mad"
"What did you do Kyungmin?" Suji sighed.
"Well...I kinda....sent Namjoon oppa and Soo Ah unnie off somewhere...." Kyungmin said slowly.
"Alone?" Hyerin asked, "Where?!"
"That's the thing...I don't know," Kyungmin admitted.
"What? When are they coming back?" Suji asked.
"Again...keke....I don't know," Kyungmin said apologetically.
"KYUNGMINN!!" the girls both shouted.
"Mianhe minahe!" she hung her head low and rubbed her hands together, "But unnies think about it Soo Ah unnie likes him and oppa likes her too-"
"What?" Hyerin asked suddenly, "What did you say?"
"That they like each other," Kyungmin said again.
"Why...why would you think that?" Suji asked slowly, hoping it wasn't true.
"I just do!" Kyungmin replied, "The way they look at each other is so obvious and Joon oppa treats her differently, I know it and if it's true then I'm going to do whatever it takes to help them!"
Suji and Hyerin looked at each other in disbelief. This wasn't good, they shouldn't be getting attached to them and if Soo Ah and RM really have started to like each other then what was going to happen?
"So please help me neh...please," Kyungmin begged them and the girls couldn't do anything but force a fake smile and nod along.
------------------------------------------------------------
"All right couples, are you ready?! Get your pepero stick in front!" the ahjumma said out loud making the crowd howl and clap, "And don't feel embarrassed arasso, the shortest pepero stick wins this round."
RM turned to face Soo Ah and put one end of the stick in his mouth and casually waited for Soo Ah who was cursing herself like a crazy person.
"Don't be shy we promise we won't look," the ahjumma turned Soo Ah to face RM and then winked at the crowd.
"YEAH WE PROMISE!" the crowd shouted in unison making Soo Ah blush.
She looked at RM and was about to go on her tiptoes to reach the other end when he suddenly lowered his head so she didn't have to.
"WOOOOOHHHHHH!" the crowd cried when RM did that.
Soo Ah looked awkwardly at him before putting the tiniest cm of the stick in.
"READY SET GO!"
The other couples started quickly eating away the distance between them while Soo Ah and just stood there.
"Hmm,"
Soo Ah looked up at RM when he mumbled, he waved her forward telling her to start eating but she just shook her head. He sighed and slowly started eating the stick much to Soo Ah's shock. He was slowly getting closer and closer while Soo Ah just stood there with her eyes out of her eye sockets. She was playing pepero stick with the famous gangs leader of the criminal underground!! DID THIS MAKE ANY SENSE?!!!
RM's eyes flickered up and met hers, she quickly reverted them away from his and closed her eyes wanting this to be over as soon as possible. When she finally had the courage to look back, he was way too close to her, his nose brushing against hers. She took a deep breath as he tilted his head slightly to get closer to her lips....HER LIPS!! He looked into her eyes before focusing on something else...her lips againnnnnnn, he looked at them half-lidded as he inched closer and closer while Soo Ah could do nothing but stand like a frozen statue.
Suddenly her mind went haywire when his lips softly grazed over her bottom lip and parted open in shock making the stick fall down to the ground between them. RM furrowed his brows and looked at her while she just looked at the space in a daze.
"AWHHHHHHHHHH!" the ahjumma picked the tiny stick and measured it, "1.5 cm!!"
The crowd cheered and clapped while RM rubbed the back of his neck and Soo Ah just stood there still staring into space. It wasn't the first time they kissed, and their last kiss was definitely more passionate and longer but this was different, a lot more different.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suji was in the kitchen now chopping some tomatoes in a daze. If what Kyungmin said was right then did Soo Ah really have feelings for RM? What happens when this undercover mission is over then? What happens if the guys find out who they really are?
She closed her eyes nervously, not wanting to imagine what's going to happen when the truth comes out, her hands shook slightly and the knife slipped cutting her finger instead.
"Oww!"
"Hey careful!"
Suji looked up and saw Jin rushing to her in a hurry, he held her cut finger up and furrowed his brows, "It's bleeding...come here," he pulled her to the sink and ran water over the cut.
"Does it hurt?" Jin asked while Suji stared at him.
"Yah! I said does it hurt?" Jin asked her again.
"Huh?" Suji startled, "No..." she tried to pull her finger back but Jin kept hold of it, he reached for the first aid box in the drawers and pulled a plaster out before wrapping it around her cut.
Suji didn't know why she was staring at him like this, but this uneasy and fearful feeling was brewing in her right now.
"You're a walking hazard you know that," Jin scoffed before looking at what she was cutting, "I don't know why you even bother cooking."
He walked to where she was cutting the tomatoes, pulling her along with him. He put her in front of the cutting board before standing behind her. He held her hands and helped her hold the knife and slowly started cutting the tomatoes up with her.
Suji froze unable to comprehend why she was feeling this way suddenly, "...what...are you doing?"
"Making sure you don't have another accident," Jin said bluntly as he cut the tomatoes, "I thought all girls knew how to cook but I guess that's another thing different about you."
Suji looked down at Jin's large hands covering her own and gulped nervously, she wasn't just scared that Soo Ah would get hurt at the end of all this...but she herself would too. Whether she liked it or not, Jin was slowly making his way into her heart.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"You drop a single drop on me and I swear..." RM muttered warning Soo Ah.
"Just stay still then!" Soo Ah blindfolded herself like all the other girls.
"Ok ladies pick up your jajangmyeon!" the ahjumma said. Soo Ah waved her hand around until she got hold of the bowl of jajangmyeon and a fork, "And start feeding....NOW!"
"Left!" RM said when Soo Ah feeding thin air on the right, "YAH LEFT!!"
"SORRY!" Soo Ah shouted in panic and she flipped the spoonful of the noodles to the left only to have it whack the side of RM's hair, she froze, "....That didn't go into your mouth did it?"
RM slowly wiped the noodles of his hair as he gritted his teeth, "I thought I said- HHHMMPP!"
Suddenly Soo Ah forced a massive mountain of noodles into his mouth shutting him up, "Did it go in??!!" Soo Ah scooped another spoonful and grabbed RM's chin and shoved in even more.
"HMMMPP WHHMMMPPP!" RM mumbled with hamster cheeks full of noodles.
"Too much?!!" Soo Ah asked frantically.
"HURRY HURRY!" she heard the ahjumma shout at the couples, and she got another spoonful of the noodles only to drop it right on RM's....lap.
RM sighed in frustration and hung his head low. Never did he think he would see this day.
"AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!" the crowd laughed manically.
"WHY?! WHAT HAPPENED?!" Soo Ah tried to touch RM to see him he was ok but because his head was hung low she managed to drop the wet noodles on top of his head and down his neck.
"HWAHH!" he exclaimed as he slowly looked up while a piece of noodle dangled on his forehead.
"CHOI COUPLE FINISHED YEAHHHH!" the ahjumma cheered as another couple won.
Soo Ah sighed in disappointment and took her blindfolds off, she turned around to face RM, "OH MY GOD!!!" she covered in shock as RM glared at her with his face smeared with the noodle sauce, noodles dripping from his hair onto this shoulders and a large mountain of noodles just on his lap.
"You...are...so.....dead," he muttered his eyes twitching slightly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Hyerin!" Suga walked into the girl's lounge.
"Huh?" she turned around as Suga sat next to her.
"Your mum wanted this last time," he bought out a massive teddy bear from behind him, "If you're going to see her later give it to her ok, I can't go visit her tonight-"
"What?" Hyerin asked again.
"I said I would go see her tonight, but I need to go to HQ so tell her I'll come see her tomorrow ok," he smiled and got up and put the bear on her lap.
"Yoongi!" Hyerin stopped him from leaving, "....You...don't have to do this..."
"Do what?" he furrowed his brows in confusion.
She sighed, it wasn't only Suji that had been thinking about what Kyungmin had said. She was also worried that she'd get attached to him, but not only that her mum was getting attached to him too, and when they leave what's going to happen then."
"Meeting my mum" Hyerin explained, "I'm sorry she's getting so attached to you and it must be-"
"Hyerin... Don't make it seem like I don't care about your mum," he stopped her, "Because that's what you're making it sound like."
She looked at him not knowing how to explain it to him.
"I like your mum and I like meeting her," Suga said, "No one's forcing me to OK?"
She nodded slowly.
"Ok..." he smiled, "Don't forget to tell her I'm sorry for not visiting today arasso," he called out as he left the apartment.
After she heard the door shut she fell back on the sofa and closed her eyes tightly shut, this wasn't good.
------------------------------------------------------------
"OK....wives what is one thing that your husbands hate doing in public," the ahjumma said, "Whatever that asks him to do it to prove his love for you! Whoever does the most embarrassing one gets winning points as well confirming your love!"
The crowd cheered and clapped while the couples groaned.
"I swear if you make me do anything stupid..." RM breathed out.
"What is it with you and always threatening me?" Soo Ah asked annoyed as well, she didn't want to be a couple with him anyway.
"Because you make me!" he muttered.
"If Hoseok shi was here then this would actually be fun," she mumbled crossing her arms across her chest.
"What?" RM looked at her with furrowed brows.
"I said if Hoseok shi was here it would be fun," she bluntly repeated.
RM scoffed, "You really like him don't you?"
"Yeah I do," she said putting her hands on her hips.
"Why don't you go running after him then?!" he said angrily and feel jealous.
"I would but someone dragged me here!!" she retorted.
"Aish!" RM growled and turned away.
"Aing aing," another husband did a little aegyo hop in front of his wife making the crowd cheer loudly.
Another husband was forced to do a body wave but couldn't do it, making his wife start crying saying he didn't love her.
Another one had to sing a love song for his wife which didn't go down well since he couldn't sing.
Finally it was their turn, RM had his hands in his pockets while Soo Ah was grumpily looking the other way, both wanting this to be over.
"Mrs. Kim, what are you going to make your husband do then?" the ahjumma asked.
Soo Ah turned to face him as he shook his head warning at her. Suddenly a small smile crept to her lips, RM saw this and he furrowed his brows.
Soo Ah grinned and turned back to the ahjumma, "Well...my love....my darling husband is a realllllyyyyy good dancer...."
RM froze up eyeing her up.
"He always dances in the kitchen, in the shower, in bed....."
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" the crowd teased as RM gave Soo Ah death glares.
"WOULD YOU ALL LIKE TO SEE HIS DANCING??!" Soo Ah screamed into the microphone.
""YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" the crowd screamed back.
Soo Ah nodded victoriously, "His favorite is Gangnam Style!!" she put two thumbs up at RM who was just gaping at her.
Suddenly Gangnam Style song came on and the crowd looked at RM expectantly, they started clapping along while RM just stared at Soo Ah in disbelief.
She giggled slightly and winked at him daring him to do it.
"GANGNAM STYLE," the music suddenly came on.
RM hung his head low and slowly lifted his left arm up.
It was now Soo Ah's turn to gape at him....he wasn't actually going to was he?!!
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" the crowds cheered as RM embarrassed as hell did the horse dance.
Soo Ah's jaw hit the floor as RM did the moves.
"EEEEHHHHHHHHHHH SEXY LADYYYY!"
He covered his face and shuffled to the left along with the music.
Soo Ah started to laugh suddenly along with the crowd as the crowd started to dance along with RM. She clutched her stomach and laughed so hard watching him and a grandad mirror each others' moves.
The ahjumma pulled Soo Ah along into the crowd and they started doing the horse dance as well, but Soo Ah couldn't help but smile brightly every time she looked at him. Finally he looked up and saw her grinning like an idiot, he quickly stopped smiling and put his hand down awkwardly and returned to his stoic expression but that didn't stop Soo Ah smiling still. She turned back to the ahjumma and carried on dancing with the crowd.
