Jun Pyo looked stern. He didn't want this. Not just because he loved Jan Di so much, and not just because the thought of his mother finally getting what she wanted killed him slowly. But also because there was just a small part of him...a little bit of his heart that genuinely cared for Hae Jae Kyung's feelings. To him she was beautiful, ( for a clingy monkey ) had a good personality and really, she was to good for the arrogant, temperamental jerk that was Gu Jun Pyo, despite her rudeness, the pig-like way she stuffed ramen in her mouth and her abruptness. He knew if he ended this wedding here, she would eventually find someone to treat her right, who she would love as much as she loved the man she named "Jun." However the obvious thing to do if he cared about her feelings at this point would be to say I do, plus how could he really prevent this now? He cant. The minister, his mother, EVERYONE was waiting. He was trapped. Which is why he did utter the words;

"I Do".


Ha Jae Kyung was happy. Beyond the deep guilt that was drowning her, gliding along the surface was happiness. She had got the man she desired. He was at the aisle, rings in hand, and he just said he would take her hand in marriage. She knew he didn't love her as much as Jan Di, she knew that. But there were qualities she knew she possessed that Jan Di didn't. ( looks could be seen as one ) She hoped that even though he didn't love her, he could. And to just get him away from Jan Di long enough he would love her even more, equal to the way she so desperately loves him.

So, like the monkey she is, she is going to cling to him like he was the last tree in the one remaining forest left in the jungle.

"I Do."

President Kang was the first one on her feet clapping. The jewellery draped around her wrists made a rhythmic sound as her frozen, lifeless face finally shaped into something that could be considered emotion. After years of dread, she can assuredly consider herself happy. A wave of similar applause followed as the couple left the aisle, Jun Pyo could have sworn the wooden doors they were approaching were grey, iron prison gates in disguise.


Jan Di looked beautiful, even with her commoner background she cleaned up well, as seen many times by F4. She wore a ocean blue bridesmaids dress sequined from top to bottom, though the bottom only reached to her thighs and it was a little low for Jan Di's taste. But being made of honour ( and nearly exploding at the irony ) she had to put up with Jae Kyung's slightly provocative style. She felt exposed in more ways than one as president Kang glared triumphantly her way.

Ga Eul, in the same outfit ( who was un-knowingly subject to Yi Jung's flirting eyes observing her ) gently touched Jan Di's arm in concern.

"Are you okay?"

Not knowing what to say, Jan Di simply smiled at her friend and nodded meekly. Was she okay? Was she mad? Happy? Heartbroken? Her sanity had taken a vacation, she didn't have a clue. Meanwhile Ji Hoo's eyes had been on her through the whole ceremony.

White flowers showered the couple as they disappeared inside the black stretch limo that would drive them to the reception. Before a very numb Jan Di could try and escape the agonising day. She and Ga Eul were dragged inside the bridesmaids/groomsmen car that pulled up less than a minuet after the limo left. The journey was silent.


Three hours into the reception and the pain of the first dance and photo taking was almost over. Jun Pyo had began smiling for the cameras but nothing more. Jan Di had long disappeared and everybody, Groom included was trying to hunt her down.

Ga Eul found her first. She was standing in the patio of the back entrance to the reception. She had clearly found the bar as she was clutching a bottle of pure vodka and swaying to Big Bang's song "Lies" which was blaring from the party in full swing inside. Ga Eul watched in amazement as her best friend stumbled back slightly every time she took a gulp from the near empty bottle, even though songs changed frequently, her sombre swaying remained the same. She couldn't help admire the good rhythm Jan Di possessed despite how delusional she was. Ga Eul approached her with whirlwind force, grabbing the bottle from Jan Di's drunken hold.

"Jan Di! How much of this have you had."

Her tone sounded worse than her mother. Jan Di spluttered in response. Ga Eul sighed, deflated.

"Come on get back inside."

"Wha-WHY?"

She was completely of her head and clearly in no mood for chitchat. Ga Eul slid her body under Jan Di's arm to support her unsteady movements. Ji Hoo appeared from the darkness, stunned by Jan Di's state. After locking eye contact for what felt like hours, Ji Hoo took charge.

"You can go back inside Ga Eul, I can take it from here."

"Are-are you sure?"

Ji Hoo nodded. She relinquished control of Jan Di and handed her over to Ji Hoo, as Ga Eul left Jan Di fell against him like a rag doll, almost in tears.
