Chapter Eight

Awkwardness was prevalent but Gary took hold of this golden opportunity to get closer to Jihyo. How often can they stay alone together without rumors spreading like wildfire or Monday Couple fans shrieking at the mere sight of them together? 
He then sat beside her and started the ball rolling, and they chatted for awhile.  After they became much more comfortable, Gary decided it was time. Time for him to become a happier man. Time for him to be freer in his words, thoughts and speech. Time for the empty space in his heart to be filled.
Her heart skipped a beat. Something smells fishy; oppa is seldom serious, unless it was when he composes music. 
"Figure out my tweet name."Gary hinted.
"Tweet name?" She replied, looking at him quizzically.
"My twitter's username. “He explained.
"Wae(why)?" A curious her asked.
"Find out and I shall tell you." Gary ended the conversation with a grin, keeping her in suspense.


When the guys returned with packed dinner, Jihyo who didn't have a Twitter account asked her dongsaeng about Gary's tweet name over the dinner.
 "Why? Noona, do you want to create an account?" Kwangsoo replied.
"Kanggary58. Jihyo ah, create an account! Then 5 of us can chat on Twitter without Jaesuk and Jongkook!
" HaHa interrupted and avoided Jongkook's deadly stare.
"Very few actresses have a Twitter account. Besides, I wouldn't know what to type. " Jihyo expressed.
"Tweet!"They corrected her. 
"Hyung, why 58?" Haha curiously questioned.
Gary explained, "because I love Kwangsoo too much, so I inverted 85 from his birth year to 58 (Kwangsoo was born in year 1985.)"
"Ayyy hyung!" Kwangsoo commented, and proceeded to give Gary a smooch on the cheek nearest to him. 
But deep down, 58 had another meaning, and Kwangsoo's birth year had no relation to it at all.
The guys decided to stay over as it was too late to head back. Moreover, they didn't have any schedule the next morning. However, they had to sleep in the living room, separated from Jihyo, just like when there was overnight filming for Running Man.



She figured out his twitname. Now what? Curiosity killed the cat. She didn’t want to be harmed or hurt. Maybe she shouldn't bother and just drift off to sleep.
However the missing piece to what Gary wanted to tell her cluttered her mind. After much flipping about and rolling around on the bed, she reached for her phone.  

[Text Message]
 Jihyo: Awake? I found out your twitname, what's next? (:
Gry: Guess where 58 came from? Hint: it has nothing to do with Kwangsoo.
Jihyo: Was what you said during dinner a lie? Is this a mission? Who thinks so much in the wee hours of the morning?
Gary: It's a cover-up, not a lie. Another hint: see your birth date.
She mused. 15 August 1981. Hmm…
Jihyo: I don't see any link? *Mong*
Gary: Aigoo, I forgot our Sung Im is mong. 
Gary chuckled when the image of Mongji appeared in his mind. He should have remembered she may not be able to figure this out. 
She thought, should I reply with a ‘yes’? While musing, her phone screen lit up.
G: I'm hungry. Let’s head for supper and I'll tell you what 58 really means after my stomach is filled.
ㅋㅋ *Merong (Sticking out tongue)!*
Food never failed to tempt her and once again, she succumbed to her temptation. 




Sorry for posting this chapter really late. I hardly have time to sit down for long to write a chapter. Currently, i try to type as and when i'm travelling. I will continue writing whenever i can(:
Meanwhile, i'll keep you in suspense of how 58 in kanggary58 came about. It was just something i came up with and may not be true. It's easy to figure out with the hints given above! Go ahead and give it a try!
