Chapter 1

It was a fine morning and Yi Jung was looking forward to finishing the first pot to be shown in his exhibit next month. He felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. He reached for it and took a look at the message Jun Pyo sent: 'Code red, meet me at the lounge'. He quickly got his car keys and hurriedly drove towards F4's lounge. 10 minutes later, he arrived and so did Woo Bin and Ji Hoo who both came with baseball bats in their hands. They quickly ran towards the entrance and found Jun Pyo seating at the sofa.

"Yah Gu Jun Pyo! What's the big emergency that we have to meet you here? Don't you know that I was in the middle of something really important?" Yi Jung annoyingly asked.

Jun Pyo turned at them and showed them a worried face. "Do you know that Jan Di's Birthday is tomorrow?! What am I going to do?"

"That is your big emergency? Gu Jun Pyo my exhibit is next month and I haven't even finished even one pot!" Yi Jung looked furious and his eyes were throwing daggers at Jun Pyo

"Aish! That's not my problem! If you haven't been partying all night for the last month then maybe you wouldn't be rushing like that!" Jun Pyo was now fuming as his eyes were also throwing daggers at Yi Jung

Ji Hoo just stood there enjoying the scene that he was watching. It was rare for Yi Jung to act like this. He was always cool and composed. 'Maybe the pressure of the surname So is finally getting in him.' He thought to himself.

There was silence and tension in the air so Woo Bin decided to cut in to break the anxiety between the two. "Woah guys, woah. Keep your cool bros! Jun Pyo, just take her to vacation. We still have two weeks before school starts on March."

Jun Pyo's indescribable face of fury slowly turned into a grin. "Yah Song Woo Bin that's not so bad. Okay pack up! Meet me at the airport by 2:30 later. We are going on a vacation! It will last for five days. Araso? " He turned his back as he reached for his phone and made a few calls. However, he forgot one small detail: Jan di's best friend Ga Eul. He knew that Jan Di will not agree to go even if he tries to drag her so he turned to Yi Jung.

"So Yi Jung, do you by any chance know who Chu Sang Hoon is?" Yi Jung turned and saw Jun Pyo's devil like smile.

"Of course! Who wouldn't know that world – renowned potter who is also the owner of the most famous museums located around the globe? Why do you ask?" He curiously inquired. He knew that Jun Pyo was up to something and it had something to do with Jan Di.

"Well, since you know him, I suppose you also know his pot called 'Daughter' and it was auctioned last month" Hearing Jun Pyo saying this Yi Jung's eyes grew wide open as he was debating whether or not to take his offer. Although Jun Pyo is not the smartest person, if he wants to achieve something, he can do so and eventually get what he wants. It took a while before he could answer but he finally managed to say something.

"Fine. Since that that pot is one of a kind, I'll do it. Now let me guess, you need something to make Jan di agree to go on vacation." Yi Jung finally said as he scratched his chin while contemplating on how Jun Pyo can be so irritating and ridiculous when he gets too desperate.

"Ahhh So Yi Jung you are fast! Okay, I'll give you the pot when we get back here in Seoul. All you have to do is to make her best friend go and maybe babysit her while we are on vacation." He was now satisfied. That's one of the perks of having friends since childhood – you get to know their weakness.

Due to his rising temper, Yi Jung did not choose to speak. He just nodded and went to his car to fetch Ga Eul. Woo Bin and Ji Hoo on the other hand were just dumbfounded while seeing Jun Pyo winning by using his wits. That was indeed sheer desperation. He never used his brain well, not until now. They just left, amazed of how Geum Jan Di managed to change the almighty Gu Jun Pyo.

'This is going to be an interesting vacation' Woo Bin and Ji Hoo said to themselves as they got into their cars and drove to their homes to prepare.
