After the revelation, their night continued with dinner and drinks.Both of them seems at ease after all the talking. They laughed at each other jokes and started to feel comfortable with each other. In the midst of their conversation, Hyun joong excuse himself to go to the public toilet not far from the tent.
“ Don’t be long okay! The last time you said you need to go to the toilet..I felt as if you had run away and never came back!” recalled Hwang Bo.
“No..I won’t do that..I promised!..Just wait ok!” assured Hyun Joong with a smile.
20 minutes later....
“ Sorry for taking so long...I had a stomach ache!” said Hyun Joong hoping that Hwang Bo was not mad at him.
“ That’s okay...I’m used to it now!” answered Hwang Bo
“Used to what?” asked Hyun joong curiously.
“ Well..I’m used to waiting! Especially for you!” said Hwang Bo implying that she knows him well enough not to doubt him.
Hyun Joong gave a meaningful smile after hearing that.
Outside the tent
The two of them thanked both the tent owners and made their way out from the tent and continued their conversation as they made their way to the car.
“Are you sure the ajumma n ajussi won’t say anything about us tonight?” asked Hwang Bo. She was worried if their date that night will become the front page news tomorrow. She’s worried about Hyun Joong’s image with his fans.
“I’m positive!They won’t say a word...they can’t...coz I know their nephew...if anything happens...I’m sure to let their nephew have a piece of my mind!” answered Hyun Joong.
“Huh??? What do you mean by that? Who’s their nephew anyway?” asked Hwang Bo further.She was curious and worried at the same time.
“Well...U know him too...technically!” smiled Hyun Joong
“Who?” asked Hwang Bo.
“My friend Inyoung! The one you talked to on the phone before our fake farewell..remember?” explained Hyun Joong
“Owhh...that friend!...” gigled Hwang Bo
Hyun Joong smiled when she heard Hwang Bo’s cute gigles.
“For an important night like tonight...of course I have to be extra careful and when I asked Inyoung about renting a tent..he recommended his aunt and uncle..so it was perfect! Besides..like I said earlier..they play a hard bargain! It was really expensive!” explained Hyun Joong
“Chincharo!!! Hahahaha....” Hwang Bo couldn’t keep her laughter any longer and let out a loud laugh while covering her mouth and holding her stomach. She was always amuse by Hyun joong’s unique way of thinking.
“ Anyway thank you for the treat! I will never forget this night..”said Hwang Bo
“ Come on...are you already tired from just a couple glass of soju?” asked Hyun joong
“Why do you say that?” asked Hwang Bo
“Well...it’s just that you sound like you want to call it a night? Do you?” asked Hyun Joong
“ Well I thought...since it’s already late...u would want to call it a night coz u might be busy tomorrow...”explained Hwang Bo
“ Nope not yet...there’s one more thing!” said Hyun Joong and grabbed Hwang Bo’s wrist and made their way to a nearby lake.
“Huh?” said confused Hwang Bo.
Hyun Joong lead the way while holding Hwang Bo’s wrist. Hwang Bo followed him with full of anticipation. They sure have not done this kind of thing for a long time. But the reality of being with him that night was already a dream come true. But she decided to act cool and play along to see what’s going to happen next.
They walked along a pathway that leads to a garden at the nearby lake...as they approach the garden...Hwang Bo could see dims of lights from a far. The lights seems to grow brighter as they came nearer towards the edge of the lake.
Hyun Joong stopped and turned around. As he faced Hwang Bo....he smiled and said...
“This is it! The highlight!...” said Hyun Joong with full of excitement.
“Now...please go to that tree and see what’s waiting for you there.” while pointing at a tree which was wrapped in bulbs of lights.
“Wow..Is it christmas already?” said Hwang bo whose face suddenly lit up upon seeing the tree.
“ Well...u can say it something like that!” answered Hyun Joong
“ Okay!” said Hwang Bo as she approached the tree taking slow steps...full of anticipation.
As she got closer to the tree..she could see a box placed under the tree. The box was like the size of a shoe box but was wrapped neatly with a white ribbon. Since the the light from the tree lit up the area around it..she could see the box was green in colour. She picked up the box and shaked it to try and figure out the content. As she was doing it..Hyun Joong approached her..
“ What are you trying to do? Just open it! “ stressed Hyun Joong
“ Just like that? What...no more songs? No more sincere events? “ said Hwang Bo jokingly who remembered the last time Hyun Joong did something like this was during her birthday in front of all the WGM staff.
“ Well..putting up the lights and timer just now has taken a lot of my energy. I think I’ll sing to you next time ok...” answered Hyun Joong.
“ Owhh...that’s why you took soo long just now!’ said Hwang Bo who finally able to figure out where Hyun Joong actually went for 20 minutes.
She was smiling ear to ear realising that Hyun Joong took so much effort to give her the present.
“ What could this be?” said Hwang Bo
“ Come on... just opened it!” urged Hyun Joong
“ Arasso” said Hwang Bo
As she slowly opened the box...she was suprised to see it was full of folded turtles.
“Hahahaha” she laughed so hard upon seeing the turtles.
“What’s this?” she asked
“Don’t you remember?” said Hyun Joong
“Remember what?” asked Hwang Bo
“Wah...you are surely getting old! It has only been over a year..” said Hyun Joong jokingly.
Hwang Bo hit him again at his elbow like she always does whenever Hyun joong make jokes like that.
“ Remember when I gave the crane for your birthday last year. It was a total of 1000 cranes. That means I’ll be good to you for 1000 days...and I do think I have done that in my own way...and even if there are still a lot of days to go...I just thought that I would give you 100 folded turtles now...and show you that, I’ll continue to be good to you even after the 1000 days are up. Because of my busy schedule..I’ll give you the other 900 later....” explained Hyun Joong.
“ Ermm...Hyun Joong ah...I don’t know what to say” said Hwang Bo in a crack voice and suddenly with tears in her eyes.She was touched by his sincerity and effort that night.
“ Thank you very much!” said Hwang Bo
“ You’re welcome!” smiled Hyun Joong
“ I’ll make you happy from now on...for real...no cameras...no staff and crew to follow us!...just you and me!” said Hyun Joong convincingly.
At that moment..both of them were in their own happy world. Even though Hwang Bo never expected it...She was really thankful that Hyun Joong finally confess his true feelings. She felt as if a burden has been lift up from her shoulder.
Technically she had not given him an answer since she was still scared of the consequences but nevertheless in her heart...she’s the happiest woman in the world.

Their expensive date continues...Part 2:
Hyun Joong just smiled. Somehow hearing those laughter was a good sign. Aahh…she likes it! he thought. Hyun Joong was actually worried about the whole thing. He had a hard time figuring out how he could take Hwang Bo on a dinner date but at the same time he can just relax and not feeling burdened by other people watching them. He was thinking of taking her to one of those high class restaurants as he could afford it now after getting a big pay check from his BOF stint. But that kind of places are surrounded by other celebrities and VIPs. It’s not a good place to not be spotted…he thought. He even thought of renting a yacht just like during their WGM honeymoon. But that could bring back a lot of painful memories at least to him for not able to catch any fish for his buin twice….
He needed a place where he can feel at ease and have a decent conversation with her and after careful thought, renting a tent like this was the best solution. He once mentioned during the first WGM episode that he wished he could asked Hwang Bo out for a drink so that they could get to know each other better. But there were no chance to do that because Hwang Bo was always leaving early after their recordings. He felt disappointed at that time but had never forgotten the idea completely. Since this sort of a reunion, he thought he could give it a try.
After the smile and short laugh,there were awkward silence again...some things never change thought Hwang Bo..
“Ya!Kim Hyun Joong...” she suddenly cried out.
“Don’t you have anything to say to me? Or at least explain to me why are we in a tent in a middle of nowhere and you suddenly jumped in front of me yesterday? You didn’t really give me a decent explanation for that you know!” continued Hwang Bo...who suddenly poured her thoughts in one shot!
Hyun joong just smiled and drank a shot of soju.
“Why are you smiling?Did I say something funny?” said Hwang Bo
“No you didn’t! I smiled because I really miss this! I miss your antics! I miss your husky voice everytime you’re mad or feeling discontent at me! And the fact that after all this time, you haven’t change a bit! Daghaenida!” uttered Hyun joong.
“What???..u miss all that???” expressed Hwang bo suprisingly.
Hyun Joong suprised her by saying that. She didn’t really think that he misses her that much.
“Why?” she continued...feeling curious about the whole thing.
“Just Because....” said Hyun joong
“Just Because of what?” asked Hwang Bo impatiently.
Hyun Joong was actually nervous. He had been taking shots after shots of soju to calm himself.He’s contemplating whether to say what’s in his mind or maybe just make up more excuses.
“Do I have to be here all night just to wait for you to give me the answers to my questions?” asked Hwang Bo who was already looking rather impatient.
“Only if you want to!” joke Hyun Joong.
“Okay...that’s it..I’m going home!” said Hwang Bo who suddenly felt uneasiness about the whole thing.
“Ya!Wait a second...are you mad at me?”asked Hyun Joong
“I’m not mad at you...it’s just that...I’m tired of waiting that’s all!” answered Hwang Bo.
“Okay...I’m sorry.I didn’t mean to put you in that position” said Hyun Joong
“It’s just that...what I’m about to say is not an easy thing for me to say. I’m a bit nervous!” said Hyun joong
“Nervous??? About What???” asked Hwang Bo who suddenly became more curious.
“Ok..here goes...I made a promise to my self...”said Hyun Joong
“A promise? A promise about what?” asked Hwang Bo
“Well..about you!”
“Me?..What kind of promise???”
“ I promise myself that I want to make you happy!”
“Make me happy?..I don’t understand..what do you mean by that?”
“I mean to say that the times we spent together on WGM was the happiest moments in my life..after we separated...I felt kinda empty.You changed my life forever!”
Hwang Bo was stunned to hear those words coming from Hyun Joong.She felt confused n amused at the same time.But rather LOL...she calmly asked..
“Hyun Joong ahh...you do realise that what we had on WGM was all make belief don’t you?”
“Nope..It was all real for me.I don’t know about you...but I was being myself and I was sincere!I didn’t want WGM to end but I understand we have to sacrifice so that we can go on with our lives.I wanted to say this then but I was too scared.Too scared because I know I don’t have the ability to say those things to you.I still needed to earn money so that when the right time comes and after I know I am financially dependable...I will be able to let you know that you are very important to me!”
Hwang Bo couldn’t believe what her ears was hearing. She was still not convince. Maybe these are the words coming from a drunkard man..she thought to herself..considering that he’s been drinking a lot since they got there. But again rather not putting him down, She asked...
“Kim Hyun Joong...I’m sorry to ask you this...but are you drunk?
“Why do you say that?” asked Hyun Joong.
“ Well..because that could be the only logical explanation for you to say those things!” replied Hwang Bo.
“You know I can handle my liquor very well...This is only my first bottle of Soju...I’m as just as sober as you are!” explained Hyun Joong.
“Is that so...” said Hwang Bo.
“Yup!” replied Hyun Joong
Hwang Bo stayed silent and started to play with her glass.She couldn’t meet his eyes let alone say anything to him.
“Why are you so quiet all of a sudden?” Did the cat got your tongue?” asked Hyun Joong
“Yes...I wished he did!” said Hwang Bo jokingly.
“Come on...say something!” urged Hyun Joong
“Well...I’m sorry..I don’t know what to say...this seems unreal!” replied Hwang Bo.
“Ermm..you know what...I have kept this to my self for a long time...I don’t think I can keep this any longer...what I did yesterday...I admit was unplanned. But after meeting you, I felt that..why wait...I should just tell you now.” Said Hyun joong
“But Hyun Joong ahh...you can’t afford to this now...after BOF...you are bigger than ever. Aren’t you afraid of losing your fame and success? Don’t you know what’s going to happen if anyone finds out we are meeting like this?” said Hwang Bo in a slow voice...afraid if the owners of the tent heard what they were talking about.
“Hwang Bo Hye Jung....if you have experienced what I had gone through...you know..being infected with swine flu and almost died...you don’t even care about others...you only think about yourself!” explained Hyun Joong.
Hwang Bo just smiled when she heard that. She’d always like Hyun Joong straight foward thinking.
“But still..I don’t know!”sigh Hwang Bo
“What is it that you don’t know?..You think too much! A woman your age shouldn’t do that!” said Hyun joong jokingly.
“Ya!” shouted Hwang Bo while smacking his elbow in a form of protest to what he said.
Hyun Joong quickly moved away his arm and giggled. She’s still the same...thought Hyun Joong
“Okay...then tell me this...after WGM ended, how did you feel? Your true feelings...I want to know..coz when we were at Halla San..I was the one who cried buckets and you seemed..well took things quite well...I have always wondered about that!”asked Hwang Bo
“Hahh..about that! Well all the things I said then was true..you changed my life completely and because of that I feel that you are too big of an asset for me to let go!” said Hyun Joong
“Oh...so now..I am just a thing thing to you...an asset?” said Hwang Bo in disbelief.
“No...that’s not what I meant! I meant that you are very special to me...I think about you all the time...not just 3 days before recording but all the time! I knew that saying goodbye to you on Halla San is not something I look foward to and that’s why I made that promise...a promise I kept to myself until now.” said Hyun Joong
“And now..after all the things that happened....I have decided to fulfill that promise!”added Hyun Joong
Hyun Joong tried his best to explained everything to Hwang Bo but he kept
some things to himself..at least for the time being. Things about how he kept
himself updated with all her news and watched all her tv appearance. He even got himself freelance spies who are willing to share news about her. He kept the fact about how Nicole of Kara called him to tell him about her accident and because of that decided to come back earlier than plan to Seoul and the most important of all was how DSP’s president had forbid him to keep in touch with her after realisng what an asset he had become after BOF.He feels it was not neccessary for him to say all that just yet.
“Chincharo!” said Hwang Bo.
She still couldn’t give Hyun Joong a straight answer for all his questions and revelations. Like Hyun Joong...Hwang Bo also have a secret. A secret only she knows and not ready to tell him. She kept the fact about how she misses him until now and have always pray for his success and well being. She also didn’t tell him how much she cried everytime he got into an accident or even worse when he was diagnosed with swine flu. She felt helpless because she couldn’t take care of him just like she’d promise she would during the WGM days.
No matter how truthful their conversation was that night..both still keep secrets between them because they feel it was not the time to talk about all that. They had just met after a long time even if it was for the second time. Since that night was better than the night before..both of them have a mutual understanding that things will just get better from then..at least that is what they hope for!
Hyun Joong just smiled. Somehow hearing those laughter was a good sign. Aahh…she likes it! he thought. Hyun Joong was actually worried about the whole thing.
