Chapter 9 The Airport
Disclaimer: It's so clear that I don't own BBF. If I do, I won't let Jan Di take Joon Pyo from me ;)
Here is another chapter. Enjoy :)
Jan Di packed up her clothes for the weekend as soon as she arrived at her home. Joon Pyo waited for her in the living room while trying to ask permission to Jan Di's parents. The plan was Joon Pyo would wait for Jan Di while she was packing her necessity for their getaway. After that, Joon Pyo would take them to the airport where Shinhwa's private jet was waiting for them.
"So, Young Mas.. I mean Joon Pyo, who else will come with you for this weekend?" Jan Di's father asked, still acted awkward in front of Joon Pyo.
"The rest of F4, Ga Eul, Jae Kyung, and one of Jan Di's friend, Eun Jae," Joon Pyo his guests mentioned one by one.
"Whoa, the Jae Kyung that you mentioned, is she the heiress of JK Group?" Kang San looked interested.
Joon Pyo smiled hearing Kang San's excited voice. He nodded his head and said, "Yeah."
"Where will you go, hyung?" Kang San asked again.
Joon Pyo grinned. "That's still secret. Your sister doesn't even know yet," Joon Pyo answered mysteriously. He looked at Kang San who was pouting a bit because his question hadn't been answered. Joon Pyo suddenly realized that Kang San had never been brought to holidays like this. But, Joon Pyo thought that it would be unwise to bring Kang San for this one. Maybe I should bring him for some holiday some day, Joon Pyo thought.
A few minutes later, Jan Di came to the living room bringing small suitcase. Joon Pyo stood up immediately to help her bringing the bag to the car. After that, they drove away from the house, looking at Jan Di's family from the rearview mirror, waving at them.
After few minutes of silence, Jan Di looked at Joon Pyo with annoyed expression on her face. "You still won't tell me where we will go?" She was worried about Joon Pyo's surprises. Moreover it was F4 who planned this entire weekend getaway. They were rich-spoiled-kids. Okay, they got better over the years, but their scenes still were too much for commoner like her.
"Don't worry. It won't be too much," Joon Pyo tried to convince her. He knew that Jan Di would protest so much if it was too much. He planned it with F4.
Joon Pyo was the leader of F4 and he was the one who usually had extravagant styles. Ji Hoo, on the other hand, would be the one who would be the bumper Joon Pyo's style with his simple ideas. Yi Jung would be the one who added the romantic scenes to the idea. And finally Woo Bin would complete the whole scenes with fun things. They were good as a team for planning things like this.
Jan Di pouted because Joon Pyo still didn't want to answer her question. She was really curious about the getaway, but it seemed like Joon Pyo wouldn't budge. She sighed and shifted her eyes to the streets they were passing. It was beautiful night and the buildings around them had beautiful lights. Jan Di sighed a happy sigh this time seeing all of this.
"So, you made sure that Eun Jae will get there, right?" Jan Di asked suddenly.
"Yeah. Don't worry about your friend. I already asked Secretary Jung to arrange a car to pick her up." Joon Pyo still didn't understand why Jan Di liked Eun Jae that much. Okay, maybe Eun Jae was kind, not like snobby girls around them, but still what exactly was so special about her? But Joon Pyo didn't question her any further, he would just observe Jan Di's new friend to make sure she was a good girl.
"How are your parents, by the way?" Jan Di asked changing the topic. She was staring at Joon Pyo intensely to observe his reaction.
Joon Pyo didn't react too much. He just shrugged his shoulder and still looked at the road ahead of them. "Just usual. Father's health improves every day," he answered normally.
"That's really good," Jan Di said genuinely. "And your mother?" she asked casually.
"Just like usual. She was still trying to release the obligations of the company to me," he answered nonchalantly. "And that was good news. Because the more she let me get the obligation, the less she could control of decisions," he added looking while turning his head to her for a second.
"But, the more you get busy too," Jan Di pointed out.
Joon Pyo shrugged his shoulder again. "Well yeah. But, you're busy with your studies too. So, you can fill up your time with that while I'm working," he reminded her.
Jan Di sighed. "Yeah. That's kinda right," she admitted quietly. "By the way, how is Joon Hee-unnie?" she asked changing the topic again. The topic about works was still awkward for them. And it wasn't something that Jan Di wanted to discuss right before their holiday like this.
Joon Pyo smiled a bit. "She's fine. She's in Japan now, managing one of our branches there." It seemed like Joon Pyo was happier talking about his sister than talking about his parents. And it wasn't strange since he was always closer to his sister than to his parents. "She's coming back to Korea though some time around next week," he added turning his head to Jan Di for a moment.
"Really? It's good, then," Jan Di responded happily. She was genuinely glad if she could meet Joon Hee again soon.
Joon Pyo grimaced a little. "Yeah, about that, I'm thinking we can have dinner at my house while she was here," he said carefully.
"What?" Jan Di asked instantly.
"Yeah. I think it's a good idea. Noona's presence will be good if we need some defenses from my mother. Mother isn't as bad as four years ago, but I'm still worried if we have to face her directly," Joon Pyo explained trying to persuade Jan Di, so she would agree to his plan.
"Why do you suddenly think about having dinner like that?" she asked slowly. She wasn't exactly afraid with his mother. She just wasn't ready to meet his family like that. I knew it sounded coward and unfair since he had met her whole family.
"Well, Father has been asking about you for a while. He was curious about you," Joon Pyo admitted sheepishly. His father had bugged him over and over again since Joon Pyo came home. His father wanted to meet Jan Di since he knew that Joon Pyo had proposed.
"Oh," Jan Di muttered quietly. "Do you think he will like me?" she asked sounding worried to Joon Pyo's ears. She was really worried about that. His mother clearly didn't like Jan Di even though, like Joon Pyo had said, she wasn't mean like four years ago. Jan Di wanted to get approval by one of his parents, at least.
Joon Pyo nodded a little. "Of course. His character is more like Noona. He's very kind and friendly," Joon Pyo said trying to calm her down. "He's just serious and stern about company. But, other than that, he can act more relax," he explained that was responded by a nod from Jan Di. "Don't worry, everything's gonna be fine," he added smiling.
Jan Di just smiled a little and nodded her head.
They arrived at the airport few minutes after that. Joon Pyo's bodyguards were waiting for them in front of a gate. The bodyguards were ready to take care of Jan Di's bag and guard them through the airport. The bodyguards guided them to where Shinhwa's private jet was. It seemed like Jan Di and Joon Pyo were the ones who arrived first. Joon Pyo held her hand when they climbed the plane stairs.
The plane attendants were welcoming them when Joon Pyo and Jan Di entered the jet. Joon Pyo just nodded his head a little to respond their welcome when Jan Di smiled at them. Jan Di looked around the inside of the jet. There were four pairs of seats that made total eight of the seats for eight of them. Two pairs were at the left side facing each other, while the other two pairs were at the right side facing each other too.
"Where do you want to sit?" Joon Pyo asked her indicating her to choose their seats.
Jan Di looked up to Joon Pyo with teasing smile. "Do I have to sit with you for the whole flight?" she asked him half-teasing.
Joon Pyo narrowed his eyes, looking at her suspiciously. "Yes actually, you have to sit with me the whole time. I won't let any of other people take you away from me," Joon Pyo said sternly looking so serious that made Jan Di rolled her eyes. "I'm serious. I won't let people like Ga Eul or your friend, Eun Jae take you away from me in this holiday," Joon Pyo added to make sure Jan Di got his point. He knew he would be annoyed if someone took her away like Ga Eul did at the amusement park.
Jan Di frowned hearing the seriousness in Joon Pyo's voice. "If you want to keep me all by yourself, why did you ask our friends to come with us? Why don't you just take me away alone?" Jan Di asked sarcastically with annoyed voice.
Joon Pyo smirked. "You want to go by ourselves? Fine, I'll just get the pilot to take us now before they arrived," Joon Pyo said half-teasingly while walking to the cockpit.
"NO!" Jan Di exclaimed hurriedly trying to hold him back. Joon Pyo looked down to her with quirked eyebrows. "Don't you get the sarcasm in my voice?" Jan Di huffed while walking to one of the seats. She sat down on the window's seat and pouted looking out to the window.
Joon Pyo chuckled and took a seat beside her. He threw his hand around her shoulder and made her turned to him. Jan Di glared at him still feeling annoyed, but Joon Pyo just grinned at her. "Come on. Don't start the holiday with a fight, okay?" Joon Pyo tried to persuade her. He pecked her lips for a second.
Jan Di still pouted a bit, but she leaned her head on his shoulder. Joon Pyo's grin became wider. He kissed her head before putting his head on Jan Di's head. He sighed a happy sigh before closing his eyes. They were silent for a while and just enjoyed the moment of peace.
A few minutes later, they could hear indistinct 'welcome' from the attendants indicating that someone was coming. Joon Pyo lifted his head up from Jan Di's head, but his hand was still around her shoulder. Their seats were facing the front, so they could see the people who entered the plane. A few seconds later, Eun Jae came with expression full of admiration looking around the plane. She grinned when she saw the couple who were already in the plane.
"Hey," she greeted them with wide smile. She walked closer to them before glancing at the pair of seat who was facing Jan Di and Joon Pyo's. "Can I sit here?" she said indicating the seat.
"Sure," Jan Di answered immediately.
"Thanks," Eun Jae said before sitting on the seat in front of Jan Di. "Thank you very much for inviting me this weekend, Jan Di, Joon Pyo-ssi," she said looking at Jan Di and Joon Pyo while smiling widely.
"That's okay. We're glad to have you come with us," Jan Di said kindly.
"Yeah. It's no problem," Joon Pyo added quietly.
And then the girls talked by themselves about many things that Joon Pyo barely understood. First, about some classes that Jan Di had took and Eun Jae wanted to take. Joon Pyo didn't understand this at all. Second, about some organization at their campus that had many rumors about them. Joon Pyo heard about the organization since that was his university after all, but he didn't really care. And the last, about some volunteer work that they planned to do. This time, Joon Pyo paid attention to what Jan Di and Eun Jae said.
"They planned to do that on Tuesday if I'm not mistaken," Eun Jae talked about the volunteer work.
Jan Di nodded her head. "Yeah, that's what I heard too."
"It'll take two days, right?" Eun Jae said again which Jan Di answered with a nod. "Do you think we have to stay overnight or we will come back the next day?"
"No, we'll stay overnight. They'll set up some tents for us there. It'll take two or three hours to come to that place from Seoul. So, we will waste time if we have to come back the next day," Jan Di explained kindly. She had participated the volunteer work last year. It was some kind of event that third year students could join if they wanted. So, Jan Di had done that once while this time was Eun Jae's first time.
Joon Pyo listened to the conversation intensely. When they talked about other topics, he had been just sitting there, playing with Jan Di's fingers which he had hold. Jan Di didn't comment on that. But, now that they talked about some kind of volunteer work, Joon Pyo stopped playing and listened all of that.
"Wait a minute, you never told me about this," Joon Pyo suddenly interrupting the conversation. "You'll go for two days and you didn't tell me about it?" he asked Jan Di demanding answers.
Jan Di rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry, I forgot, okay? I participated this event last year. I told you about it last year. I thought you could guess that I will participate in this event again," Jan Di explained her reasons. She really forgot about telling Joon Pyo. Actually, she forgot about the whole event until Eun Jae brought it up earlier.
Joon Pyo frowned. "Where will this thing take place anyway?" He didn't want to sound annoyed, but he couldn't help it. His fiancée was going away for two days and he just found out. This whole volunteer thing could ruin his plan about having dinner together.
"Some village not too far from Seoul. Don't worry it'll be just two days. You won't miss me that much," Jan Di tried to convince Joon Pyo half-teasingly. She knew that her fiancé would be difficult about it. He still had his inner spoiled-kid deep down somewhere. That characteristic sometimes came out to play when they were arguing about something like Joon Pyo's work and Jan Di's study.
Joon Pyo still frowned hearing this. He still didn't like the idea of Jan Di going to some place far from him. He might be a little hypocrite since he had been the one who had left to New York. And this village couldn't be even compared to New York which half-a-world away from here while the village just a-city-away from here. Before Joon Pyo could speak his mind, Yi Jung and Ga Eul entered the plane. And a few minutes later Woo Bin and Jae Kyung arrived. Ji Hoo who was the last one, who arrived, finally took his seat beside Eun Jae. And they were ready to take off that made the whole volunteer talk would have to be postponed for now.
