The "What if" Scenario

So the holiday (around episode 8?) was cut short because of the *wink wink* moment between Ji Hoo and Jan Di. So this story is one for the alternate universe—what could have happened if everybody got along until the very end? My bias couple is Ji Hoo and Jan Di but I will try and get everybody in the story to (P.S. I decided it should be about 2 weeks long, so I can get a decent amount of chapters out of it)

Deep grey folds of the ocean trickled onto the sand. Stood on the small bridge from their rooms, I became engrossed by the violet flecks that bounced of the moonlight, barely noticing the inflammation of the cool breeze running through me, until I looked up.

My eyes flicked to a small bundle resting on the beach below my feet. Had he been there all along? His faded blue shirt lifted heavily with the wind, seemingly about to take Sunbae with it.

A burning sensation formed beneath my rib cage. I had to open my mouth to compensate the overwhelming increase of my breathing. Suddenly, the private walk I was taking to rinse out my guilt became storage for the loneliness Ji Hoo was portraying.

I moved without thought, lowering my pounding body until I reached the sandy surface so I could reach him.

He didn't sense my movement. He just lay still, burying his head further and further into the silent grief of losing his first love.

I stopped dead in my own tracks. My own epiphany…..Was occurring at a time when all I wanted was to selfishly use his sadness to get closer to him. To claim him for my own when Jun Pyo, Seo Hyun and nobody else could stop me.

How do you plan to help him Jan Di? Talk to him? Yes rub salt in the wound my making small talk about her. Hug him. What do you think that will lead to? Never mind anything else you want to do. He doesn't even want you anyway.

Wallowing in my own stupidity. I reverted back to the wooded, symmetrical pathway that took my back to my cabin. Head hanging low in the hope that I didn't have to deal with anyone ( Jun Pyo ) on my way back.

Breakfast was a rainbow of substances I knew nothing about. But my confusion was nothing to worry about. Jun Pyo knew exactly what I wanted to eat, where I was going to eat it. How I was going to eat it.

"Yah! Eat the skin first! It tastes better!"

Unhappy with my attempt at eating the fruit that ended up being mushed over my hands. Jun Pyo shoved his onto my plate and cuffed my palms in a large paper towel. I snapped them away once he was done.

"Gu Jun Pyo…I am not a kid. I can feed and wipe myself."

The unintentional awkward joke sent most of the table into fits of laugher. The giggles reverted as Ji Hoo approached the table, landing in eventual silence.

"Heyy buddy…"

My expression softened a little with Woo Bin's warm welcome. But I don't know how necessary the butt slapping part was.

"You guys really overplay things don't you?"

Ji Hoo coolly spoke as he served himself.

"Just be honest. You know everything?"

Surprisingly, Ga Eul spoke first.

"The magazine. I'm sorry Ji Hoo Sunbae—"

She stopped abruptly. Weirdly, she gave Yi Jung a funny look afterwards.

"Look…what's between you and Seo Hyun should stay that way, you can deal with it when we get back. Today is for living."

Despite MY silent protests of helping out his best friend instead of dismissing him. Jun Pyo's confident words seemed a quick way out of the awkwardness. Meaning they all nodded along. Ji Hoo seemed engrossed in his plate vanilla hotcakes.

"Speaking of today, does anyone know what our plans are?"
