The Secret Code Ring 3

I don't have a life to be busy about but my left eye felt abused and went gaga on me, hahaha, it got swollen and painful, it's a recurring condition and it happens everytime I strain my eyes, so sad as it may sound, it does happen every other week, nyahahaha.


HWANGBO HYE JUNG


The staff and crew of her new sitcom were having a late dinner break, but as she don't eat much at night, she only had some crackers and milk and finished it off in no time. She spent the remaining hour in checking her twitter updates, she has been busy since she came home from her Hawaii vacation making her twitter heydays over, okay, that's an exaggeration, it's more of an impasse. Her attention was drawn to a link sent by Song Euni through direct message, she instantly clicked on the link and was astounded by the article that popped out.

Yunho Hiding a Secret?

The netizens are buzzing about TVXQ's leader, Jung Yunho, a rumor about him hiding a secret is spreading like wildfire. Photo above is just one of the pictures posted in his cafe, it was said to be taken by his ever-dedicated fans while he was enjoying a little me time. The other photos were taken on different dates but all were of him having a break from his busy schedule. You wouldn't know what the fizz is about with just one snapshot but the fans who had seen the series of images are oh so curious as to why he's always wearing the silver Swatch secret code ring on his index finger during his personal time. The members of his cafe are so eager to find out what the ring means to their idol and what could the code be. What is the secret behind the ring? I, just like you, would love to know, too :)


Well, they can't possibly be an anonymous couple forever but she's still amaze at the power of those fans, she bet they can even perform miracles if they put their mind into it. That sounds funny but with the fans' dedication, nothing seems impossible anymore.

She gave the article another once over and decided on checking the fan cafe where the news originated, yes, she is a member of his cafe under a different name and identity of course. She was looking at the trail of images and she can't help but smile at the handsomeness of his current beau, those were probably taken these past six months based on his haircut, and the way he was captured on every photos makes her wonder if he didn't know that he's being photographed, it seems to her that he's kind of flaunting his ring a bit, and his playful smile tells of secrets waiting to be unveiled. Or, she could be reading in too deep...

She checked the time and considered her next move, he still has forty-five minutes to spare before his musical begins, she ruled in that there is no better time than now and so she send him a text message, web URL of the article included. Now, all she needs to do is wait for his response.

"Unnie, are you done with your dinner? I need to retouch your hair and make-up for the next scene."

"Oh, yeah, I'll be there in a moment."

She sighed. Just like that, she let all her thoughts scoot away; one of the best benefit of being in a relationship is that you get to share everything with someone and in her case, she found a good soul not just to share with but to lean on. In their almost two years of being together, no day was wasted in worries and assumptions, her man has never let her experience fear or pain, he's always one step ahead of other people and three steps behind her, protecting her and backing her up. How can a woman ask for anything more?

The filming ended a quarter before twelve, she, together with her manager and stylist didn't waste any time packing up after bidding everyone in the set goodbye. She was sitting comfortably in the car and in the process of checking her phone for messages when her manager spoke.

"I'll bring you home first, we still have to take care of some stuff in the office, I'll pick up the faxed details of the variety show and bring it to you tomorrow."

"Arasso."

"Be sure to rest as soon as you get home, you have an early morning schedule for Storm tomorrow, and an afternoon filming for Kim & Lee, and we will pick you up earlier as your stylist needs you to fit and choose the clothes that you wanna wear."

"O-kay," she showed him an okay sign as she said the word.

An hour later, Hwangbo Hye Jung was bundled up in bed, fresh from her lukewarm bath, looking at a bunch of messages and list of voice-mails, she picked up the ones from Yunho and decided on dealing with the rest the next day.

'I've tried to call you when I was done but you're not picking up, I guess, you're busy with filming. Should we meet? Can a Hallyu star, like you, spare a little time for her boyfriend? ^^'

'I've talked to hyung, he said that you're in the middle of shooting a scene with one of the guys and you keep on laughing, is it true that you can't look him in the eye? Are you cheating on me? ^^'

'I've seen the article, don't you think it's about time they notice it, I've been sporting the ring for more than a year, my fans are getting rusty, keke.'

'You haven't replied yet, so I'll take it that you're still working, I need to hit the sack early, I have a 5am call time tomorrow, talk to you later. Don't work too hard, love you!'

"Aish, what a kid," she can't stop grinning like a crazy ahjumma. The guy is such a charmer, everyone in the industry, as well as those who follow his career, knows that, what they do not know is that he haven't cast it full on them yet, and fan girls are already fainting on his tracks, imagine if he does.

Yunho was first introduced to her by her bestfriend, Park Choong Jae, he was a teenage trainee of SME and worked as a backup dancer for Shinhwa at that time. The next thing she knew, he was already a part of a fast-rising idol group in K-pop, they met a few times in music shows but they never spoke a word to each other aside from the customary greetings that is expected of them, it's not because they were awkward with each other, it's just that, they were never really given a chance. But all that ended when they worked together in a series of variety shows, one can say that they bonded and grew affectionate of each other. He's sweet, kind, humble, caring, it felt like a prince charming from a fairy tale book came alive, she remember thinking that it's too bad coz she's already too old for fairy tales.

She was in love with somebody else back then, but she'll be a hypocrite if she deny that he made her heart skipped with his youthful ways and antics. They had fun, even when throngs and throngs of his fans became her antis, even when she began to question what their relationship really was, even when it's time to part ways... she had fun.

She was never a selfish being, irregardless of who or what, she tends to give more as it makes her happier, so when it was time for him to conquer Asia, she didn't hesitate to let him go, completely. He had hold on for a while, but his schedule had gotten to the point of barely breathing so the regular conversations between them reached to none, not that she expected or wanted something more, she was afterall involved with someone else. Years passed by quickly, Chakra officially disbanded and she went solo, she broke free of her eight-year relationship, she had been tricked by her previous management and went neck-deep in debts, she added a lotus flower on her back tattoo, it was just her name previously, she shined and faltered; and during those years, Choong Jae was the one who fed her news and information about him, her bestfriend adore that dongseang of his to the point of shoving them together, and he's all into marrying her to him, as if he was her appa.

At first, she thought that Yunho's reappearance in her life was, in a way, maneuvered by Choong Jae, he must be the one that told him about the breakup and he could be the one who persuaded him to woo her. But when she tried to wring the truth out of him, his answer vitiated her, "What, maneuver, persuade, had a hand in what? Hye Jung-ah, we've been friends since high school and I know that you're smart, I also know how sensitive you are, how come you're asking me all these crap? The boy has been smitten by you the moment you walked in at our waiting room five years ago, he has been in love with you for the exact number of years, people around the world adore and admire him but he worships you, if he can scatter flower petals at every road you'll take, I am sure he will, he never lets any news or little bit of information about you pass him by, he's been at it all these years, for five long years Hye Jung-ah. Persuade to court you? Did he ever stop? He has been trying to catch you since he debuted, the minute he realized that he can finally offer you his name, he has work non-stop to keep you, haven't you noticed or you're just pretending not to? What are you so afraid of?" One can say that it was an eye opener and it sort of turned the tides on Yunho's favor.

He was slowly and meticulously engraving his name on her heart when We Got Married was offered to her, she had certain inhibitions about the reality show but she proceeded nonetheless and she was glad she did as it made her name shine a little more brighter. Actually, WGM was an experience of a lifetime, she had fun doing it but she will not dare do anything like so ever again. She was partnered with Kim Hyun Joong, the 4D leader of SS501, they started out as a really awkward couple, well, they had a six year-age gap and the man seems to live in his own world barely speaking to her at all. But after a few more meet ups, they learned to live and care for each other, their working relationship had gotten better and better as the show prospered, one can credit it to her innate qualities to make friends or to a heart's reflex to warm and open up to people who matters.

To say that she wasn't affected by the sweetness of her fake husband will be a lie, she admits that she was swayed for a while, it was like real and reel intertwined at the filming of their eight episode and was just cleared when they said their goodbyes.

It was like letting go of another star, to shine its brightest in the dark sky and to beam its light to everyone, just like what she did with Yunho in the past. But of the two, she fathomed a difference, the first one shines and tantalize people at night but rest on her shoulder at dawn, while the other one shimmer and dazzles everyone without taking a respite, without a need of her shade.

She was not exactly sure what the two men had in mind when they set out to do their scheme, she was not included on the debate and deliberations though she's the foundation of the story that they weaved. She let it go, giving her full trust to her real man and to her reel husband, and as it is, they seemed to have made it work.

She doesn't mean to lead her fans that a future between her and Kim Hyun Joong is possible, in her own way, she kind of tell them that they are not together and the possibility of them being together is nil, she even asked those who love their team-up that much, to grow up and leave the world of We Got Married behind but maybe what she had done wasn't good enough as more and more people were drawn and enamored. And for that alone, she is more than apologetic.

The romance between her and Jung Yunho was kept a secret not because they wanted to distort the truth or deceive their followers, they just wanted a simple and quiet life together, without being gossip upon, without being photograph at every turn, without being antagonize. She believes that though they live in the spotlight and in the public eye, they still deserve, at least, a little privacy.

She doesn't mean to hurt or to use or to mislead anyone, and she wish that it shall be known to all.

She is living blissfully, full of love and laughter, comfortable and content, free of hassles and squabbles, she is basically at peace where she is at now. Though there is a looming scandal, and though she wonders what the next phase will be, she's standing tall, she is not Hwangbo Hye Jung if she buckles.

The glaze in her eyes morphed into a sapient one, she takes a deep breathe and let a smile show in her beautiful face.

She let her fingers work in the keypad of her phone, "Shall I prepare a late dinner tomorrow or shall we go somewhere expensive?"

As the Dalai Lama once said, 'Great love and great achievements involve great risks.'
