A/N: Hey guys sorry for the long wait my word has been out and I just now got it back on! Thank you all for all the support! I'm back so let's get this show on the road again!
Ji Hoo ran a hand over his face pacing holes into the floor, he resisted the urge to look at his phone. What was taking her so long? Would she say no? What wasn't she telling him? Questions buzzed about his skull like a pack of angry bees.
His phone chimed making him jump, his heart sank when he saw it wasn't Jan Di but Ji Jung. With a heavy sigh he answered it.
"Hello?" He said trying not to sound to disappointed.
"So you need some manly help eh? Tell me what's going on your usually better with the ladies than I am." He joked.
Ji Hoo squeezed his eyes shut. "Jun Pyo showed up here, he….hurt Jan Di. She's upset right now I need to cheer her up but I need your help."
The line when quiet than after a short pause Ji Jung said "He hit her?! What the hell is going on with him! I'll help you with anything you need bro." He could hear the anger in his friend's voice, relief flooded through him at least he wasn't the only one angry.
"Tomorrow will you bring Miss Ga Eul over? We can go on a double date see if we cheer her up." He asked knowing his friend wouldn't let him down.
"Leave it to me bro, see you then." He hung up leaving Ji Hoo alone with his thoughts once again.
It was going to be a long night.
Jan Di stared down at her phone, tears filling her eyes. Her she was miserable and hurt while the one person who truly cares about her was asking her on a date. She knew Ji Hoo well enough that he was doing this to cheer her up the only way he could. Even though she lied to him, he was still thinking about her happiness. Jan Di knew she needed to tell him and soon.
Determined she swung herself out of bed and went to find the boy who loved her. Quietly she padded down the hallway looking for Ji Hoo. She heard mumbling coming from the living room, she saw Ji Hoo pacing his face distant and lost in though. Taking a deep breath she took a step toward him and then another, her heart pounding madly in her chest.
"Sunbae?" She whispered nervously.
He looked up, all his thoughts gone in that instant. "Jan Di? Are you ok you should be resting." He pulling her into a gentle hug.
She let herself melt in his arms letting his scent calm her nerves. " Ji Hoo…about earlier I'm sorry I-"
"It's ok, you don't have to tell me." His reassured her softly.
"I want to tell you." A small smile curving her lips. "I want to tell you before we go out tomorrow, I don't want it to ruin our date."
Both relief and dread flooded through him at her words. "Let's sit down."
Jan Di pulled away slowly following his lead, she kept her eyes glued to the floor. She couldn't manage to look him in the eyes.
"Ummmm….I had a nightmare." The images came flooding back sending shivers down her spine. "Jun Pyo was taking me away from you….after you proposed to me." Her cheeks started to burn as the words left her mouth. She managed a small glace his way. His eyes were shut his jaw tight with tension.
"That won't ever happen." He promised suddenly opening his eyes, meeting her stare. "I won't let that happen. Jan Di I will keep you safe I promise. You don't need to hide things like that from me. If something's bothering you, or you're scared I'll come running. I'm here for you, always." He took her shaking hand in his steady one, never pulling his eyes away from her.
She could feel the tears ready to break through but she held they back. She had already done enough crying as it was. "Thank you Ji Hoo." Jan Di sighed letting her body relax against his, her uninjured cheek resting on his shoulder. "You should start charging me every time the bell goes off." Her joke was lame but it brought a smile to his lips.
"I should, a date for every time I have to come put out the fire." He agreed laughing.
"I guess I can manage that much." She giggled squeezing his hand.
They lapsed into silence, drifting off into a peaceful sleep. Finally they were relaxed even if it was just a little while. Grandpa watched them from the hall, a grateful smile on his lips. His help wasn't need, his heart swelled that the kids were begging to figure this mess out themselves. He would watch over them that wouldn't stop, they still needed him just as he needed them as well. He just hoped that no more harm would come to them, but more was to come.
In the shadow he stood there, watching the greedy wheels in his head turning. His memory was slowly starting to piece itself together. Memories of her came flooding back making his heart tight with longing. Tomorrow would be the day he got her back, she would have to come back to him now that he remembered. She still loved him, the only thing standing in the way of their reunion was Ji Hoo. Tomorrow she would come back to him. She just had to or he would go to plan B.
A/N: now the real fun begins guys! More chapters to come I promise I'm going to try a dish out a few more tonight if I can rate and stuffles!
