Conspiracy Theory



Conspiracy Theory


Hong Ki waves at Shin Hye as she makes her way to the gallery and smiles. “What’s with the long hair, Go Mi Nam?” He nudges Keun Suk towards her direction and both guys laugh. He waits for Keun Suk to deliver one of his usual witty one-liners towards Shin Hye but to his disappointment and surprise, he doesn’t breathe a word but just look at Shin Hye with a smile. Weird, Hong Ki thinks to himself and shrugs.


Shin Hye in return just also smiles warmly at Keun Suk and then directing her attention to Hong Ki, she exclaims above the noise of people settling in their seats to wait for the C.N. Blue showcase to begin, “Go Mi Nam’s hair went away for a vacation today. This is one of Lady Gaga’s rejects!” she points to her long wig.


She has arrived with her manager in tow but to Hong Ki’s surprise, instead of sitting himself with the other managers on the other side of the gallery, Shin Hye’s manager sits himself beside Keun Suk, walking ahead of his ward, while Shin Hye dutifully sits beside him. Hong Ki can’t help but look at Shin Hye inquisitively then watch Keun Suk’s reaction. But Shin Hye is oblivious to her friend’s stares as she busily scans the program on her hand. Keun Suk, on the other hand, is busily waving at fans who are trying to catch his attention.


Has he become the fifth A.N.JELL now, without my permission? Hong Ki asks himself in amusement as he watches the manager sits comfortably between Shin Hye and Keun Suk. He does know that they did not come here as the fictional A.N.JELL group so the three of them don’t really need to sit together but still, wouldn’t it be cool to sit closer with each other and chat with his two friends as they enjoy the music of Yong Hwa and his band? Why, he even ditched sitting together with his own bandmates, the FT Island, just so he could have some bonding time with Keun Suk and Shin Hye whom he doesn’t get to see as often as he wants to. But it seems Shin Hye’s manager is oblivious of anything today, huh?


He contemplates of asking Shin Hye to switch places with her manager but dismisses the idea right away. It will be too rude of him to do that. Can I ask Keun Suk-hyung to transfer beside Shin Hye, then? He asks then laughs at the absurdity of his thoughts. Why is he even going crazy over a seating arrangement? Pabo.

His musings are disrupted by the arrival of the actress who played the stylist in the drama. “Oh, noona, glad to see you here, too!” he greets as she settled herself beside Shin Hye.  Ah, now I don’t have to worry about Shin Hye sitting by herself, away from us, Hong Ki sighs in relief. Noona is here.

The showcase starts smoothly as expected. Hong Ki has been excited for Yong Hwa and his band, not only because they come from the same company, but also because he really digs their own brand of music. It is something new and electric, very promising. And it doesn’t hurt, too, that like the FT Island members, they are young and brimming with talent.


Throughout the show, however, there is another thing that catches the attention of Hong Ki away from the stage --- Keun Suk and Shin Hye. They have never said a word to each other in almost two hours! Hong Ki observes, looking at his watch, as the live performance of CN Blue nears its end and they prepare to leave. Something really weird is going on here, he mutters under his breath. But one thing he noticed was that throughout the show, Keun Suk keeps on glancing to his left, his eyes searching and his lips twitching into a little smile. It doesn’t take Hong Ki’s genius to find out who he was smiling at and whose eyes he was trying so hard to catch the entire time. Unless he got suddenly smitten by Shin Hye’s manager! He chuckles to himself, laughing at his own joke.


Seriously, are these two still playing their own little charade? He asks incredulously. How much more time do you need to make a move? He looks at Keun Suk’s way and sighs. Yong Hwa was right. Maybe they really need to book Keun Suk an appointment with the Soju Council the soonest possible time. The Soju Council of course comprises of him, Yong Hwa and as many bottles of soju they can gulp down to make Keun Suk talk.


“Shin Hye-shi, you know the place, right? We’ll see you there, okay? I’m going to ride with Keun Suk-hyung,” Hong Ki tells Shin Hye as they and the rest of the celebrity guests make their way out of the gallery. The performance of CN Blue has just been concluded and the Q&A with the press portion of the event has started. That is their cue to leave.


Shin Hye nods happily. “I have the feeling I will get there first ahead of you guys,” she jokes, motioning to the hordes of fans waiting for the guys to ask for their autographs.


When they planned to attend the CN Blue Showcase to support Yong Hwa and his band, they also planned to go out for dinner together after the program. It was Keun Suk who invited them out for dinner actually and he and Shin Hye both happily agreed, seeing it as a rare opportunity to catch up on each other and just bond, away from prying eyes, away from the cameras. Yong Hwa said he would catch up with them as soon as his band’s appearances for the day are all through.


They are dining out at a special seafood restaurant located at the outskirts of Seoul. Keun Suk has made the reservations days before and they are all looking forward to eat and relax the whole night.

                                                                
 ~0o0~          



“Hyung, are you and Shin Hye deliberately avoiding each other in public?” Hong Ki asks Keun Suk on their way to the restaurant. He is riding shotgun with Keun Suk whose face brightens to a wide smile at his question.


“Omo! You noticed it too? Has it been that obvious, then?” Keun Suk asks jokingly, his eyes on the road.


Hong Ki laughs. “After being a witness to all those closeness and shameless flirting on set, you make it appear like Shin Hye suddenly became a nun or something! You look like you won’t even touch her with a ten-foot pole!”


Keun Suk runs his fingers through his hair. “Just one of the things we have to do as a celebrity, you know,” he looks at Hong Ki meaningfully.


Hong Ki nods, understanding his predicament. As a celebrity himself, he knows the importance of shielding your personal life away from the eyes of the public -- a public that does not always have the understanding or the proper discernment to acknowledge that they are human beings too, capable of loving, making mistakes and susceptible of being hurt.


“So you and Shin Hye really talked this over, then?” Hong Ki asks. He knows how Shin Hye got attached not only with Keun Suk, but to him and Yong Hwa, so easily and that it would really hurt her if Keun Suk just started ignoring her in public without telling her first. The girl could really sometimes be a tomboy who looks like she can take everything you throw at her but Hong Ki knows that she is still a girl with a vulnerable heart. Especially when it comes to this hyung, he smiles inwardly.


Keun Suk nods. “Yeah, we have talked about this. And her management and mine also agreed that it would be best for now to just lay low for awhile. Let all those rumors about us die down a little bit. It just sucks, though. I’m not used to ignoring her like this in public. Feels awkward,” he admits.


Hong Ki smiles in agreement. “But hyung, does her manager really have to wedge himself between the two of you today?” He asks Keun Suk, his face serious and his mouth curling in a pout.


Keun Suk bursts out in a loud laugh. “That was his idea, not mine! Yeah, if you think about it, you could have just sat between Shin Hye and me, right?” He lets out a loud yell. “Aaaarggh! This whole thing is making idiots out of all of us!”


But Hong Ki is really curious about one thing. “Hyung, how come you two are going this great length to avoid any scandal? Are you two even dating?” Of course he knows the answer to his question but Hong Ki just wants to drive home the point. It really does look absurd to avoid each other like that in public just to avoid a scandal, right? If there is no truth to it, then just say so. No need to feel guilty about it or to avoid any public display of affection because of it. Just tell the truth and the intrigues will die down naturally.


Keun Suk’s voice booms at him. “Ya, Hong Ki! Since when did you become a nosy reporter?” His eyes are full of laughter but he wears a blank expression on his face. “We’re here,” he says, changing the subject as he pulls down to a stop in front of the restaurant.


Gotcha! Hong Ki mutters under his breath triumphantly as he unbuckles his seatbelt.



~0o0~


Hong Ki has witnessed first hand the attraction that has been brewing between his co-stars since the drama started. He is a guy, too and he knows how guys like himself treat girls they are interested in. And as far as he knows, Keun Suk has been treating Shin Hye really special since the start of the drama that both he and Yong Hwa noticed it right away. Guys are territorial by nature. Like the proverbial hunter, they want to mark their prey early on, to prevent others to take it away from them. Keun Suk has been doing this to Shin Hye, unconsciously or not. As far as Hong Ki is concerned, Keun Suk has been claiming his stake on Shin Hye subconsciously, by getting close to her, teasing and flirting with her on set, stealing her heart away without the both of them being aware of it.


Once when they were filming late at night and he and Yong Hwa were taking a quick nap, they had been awakened by Keun Suk and Shin Hye’s laughter as they huddled together in a corner, talking and joking, oblivious to their surroundings. They seemed to have built a world of their own that Yong Hwa and him could only exchange knowing looks and shrugs as they watched their co-stars carried on their bantering at the wee hours of the night, full of energy and laughter.


That was how he and Yong Hwa started to imitate them, staging their own little parodies to exaggerate the closeness they have been witnessing on Keun Suk and Shin Hye. Sometimes, he would call on Keun Suk just to say “Saranghe, Keun Suk-hyung!” whenever Shin Hye was within earshot, indirectly eliciting her jealousy and tapping her inner feelings to get through the surface. But Shin Hye, oblivious to his evil motives, would only join in the laughter much to his chagrin.


Yong Hwa on his part would always make it a point to disrupt the two whenever he would see them getting cozy together, just to irk Keun Suk. Popping up unceremoniously behind them whenever they were huddled together, Yong Hwa would barge himself in, interrupting their moment. The two didn’t seem to mind or notice however but it would always crack Hong Ki and Yong Hwa to see their friends try so hard to cover up their growing attraction for each other and pass it as just what normal friends feel towards one another.


But Hong Ki knew that sooner or later, when the drama would be over, when the guise of being co-actors on set has worn off, they would be forced to evaluate everything out on their own.


And seeing the awkwardness these two had been putting themselves up since the night of the drama awards, Hong Ki knows that it won’t be long until they are force to admit to themselves what is really going on between them.


But it sure is fun to keep the fans and even your friends guessing, huh? Hong Ki tells himself as he sees Shin Hye’s face lit up at the sight of Keun Suk and him entering the restaurant.


What do you have in store for us tonight, you two? He asks his friends silently as he playfully grabs Shin Hye’s wig, earning a playful jab from her.

Thanks for reading! And I'm glad you liked the Hong Ki perspective. He's such an adorable guy and I have always wanted to pick his mind about our couple. If I could choose someone to help JGS figure his feelings out for PSH, HK would be it. Don't you agree?
