After Jan Di and Ji Hoo left for their trip, Woo Bin, Yi Leong, and Joon Pyo planned a helicopter ride to go and visit them. I overheard, and couldn't help but try and convince them not to go.
"Guys, should you really be bothering them when they have so much work to do?" I asked.
Woo Bin laughed. "Definitely. At least, our reasons are more important than work."
I looked at them in confusion. What could possibly be more important than their work? They're saving lives and healing people!
Yi Leong pushed Joon Pyo and he tossed me a box. I caught it in my hands, and opened it, before gasping and closing it again, nodding to the three of them who now laughed.
"This is definitely more important," I agreed seriously.
I wished them luck, before going to the lecturing room for music again. As I copied down notes, the ring Joon Pyo was giving to Jan Di zoomed around in my mind. Will Ji Hoo Sunbae be upset? He still has feelings for Jan Di from what I can tell. Should I follow them? But I don't even know where they're going! Ugh...will Ji Hoo even be present when he proposes to Jan Di? Would he oppose it?
Joon Pyo is his best friend. I doubt he would oppose it.
Still! He genuinely loved Jan Di! The feelings can't go away in one or two minutes!
By the time I finally had heart to follow the professor's lecture, we were down to two minutes of class left. I sighed disappointedly and gathered up my stuff to leave. If I was right, Jan Di and Ji Hoo Sunbae should be back before seven or eight o'clock.
As the professor dismissed us, I pulled out my phone and texted Ji Hoo.
Me: Is Jan Di okay?
Ji Hoo Sunbae didn't respond until after five o'clock. By that time, I was worried he would be telling me all about their proposal. Should I tell him what Joon Pyo has in mind? No, but what if he tells Jan Di?
Ji Hoo: yes, why?
Me: are you guys doing anything?
Ji Hoo: last I saw her...she was being scolded for getting on the bus late.
Me: do you know where she is right now?
Ji Hoo: a nearby tent I believe. I'm not sure though...
I sighed and headed over to the clinic to visit grandpa.
Nowadays, Ji Hoo's grandpa told me to help out anytime I wanted to. So, I decided to come and help everyday if I wasn't busy. Haneul would sometimes drop by and entertain the little kids before going home with me at eight. Our parents didn't mind that much, but they did occasionally tell me to watch out when it gets dark.
Thats when the other text arrived...
Jan Di: Mi Sun! Guess what? Joon Pyo proposed to me! And I said yes! (After the F4 interrupted.
Me: That's great! How's everyone doing!
Jan Di: happy!
Me: I'm so happy for you! Ga Eul and I will give u a good surprise when you get home!
Jan Di: thanks!
Are they really all okay? Is Jan Di just too happy to not notice the fact that Ji Hoo is slightly sad? Or untalkative? Was he disappointed? Or was he hiding it deep inside his heart for the happiness of Jan Di and Joon Pyo?
"Ah...so he proposed."
I jumped and almost dropped my phone on the ground. Grandpa was standing over my shoulder, reading off the text message I had sent Jan Di one by one. I laughed nervously. How would grandpa react to this situation? He simply scoffed and walked away, not saying anything to me.
When I waved goodbye to grandpa, he looked at me with an angry face and furrowed eye brows.
"Where are you going? I thought I told you to come over for dinner!"
"You-You did?"
He nodded confidently so I laughed and went to call mom.
"Eomma, someone is inviting me for dinner. The former president!"
My mom immediately agreed and told me to behave myself. I sighed and promised that I would, as if I wouldn't do that or something.
I went outside and followed Grandpa to his house. We walked at a slow pace, but made it there a little after seven thirty. It was the first time I've ever gone to Ji Hoo's house.
The cleanliness was amazing. Not only was the house well kept, but everything arranged together seemed to compliment the things next to it.
"Here's the kitchen. Get to work!"
Grandpa showed me the kitchen before telling me to get to work. At first, I was confused, but then I realized what he was telling me to do. He wanted me to make us dinner. Ji Hoo wasn't home yet, and I doubt grandpa would want to make the dinner by himself right now.
I took what I had in the fridge and made the best thing I could, serving fish as the main menu accompanied with rice, and some veggies.
By the time I was done, it was about eight o'clock, and grandpa was a little impatient for food. I quickly carried the food over and placed it on the table.
"So...how is it?" I asked slowly. Grandpa scoffed and nodded.
I did a silent little happy dance.
"Grandpa? I'm home."
I froze up. Ji Hoo was home? Now? Should I leave? No, I should probably wait to see his reaction first before talking to him about what happened and how he feels. Besides, I'm his friend. I have to help him through tough times such as these. He needs the support. I should probably stay until I make sure he's all right.
"Mi Sun! I didn't realize you were coming over!" Ji Hoo commented, taking a seat next to grandpa. I forced myself to smile and nodded.
"Me neither. Uh..grandpa invited me."
Grandpa glanced up st Ji Hoo. "Do you have a problem with that?" he asked.
Ji Hoo shook his head and began to eat. We all finished eating in ten minutes, when Ji Hoo and I began to do the dishes so Grnadpa could go to his room and rest up after the long day. We both awkwardly stood next to each other in silence.
"So...Jan di told you about the proposal?" Ji Hoo asked.
I nodded. "Yeah."
We stayed silent for a moment before Ji Hoo sighed.
"You probably already know this but Jan Di and I-"
"I know. I can tell," I snapped, cutting off his sentence. Anyone would be able to notice. The closeness in friendship. Jan Di had described Ji Hoo as an extra guardian angel sent from heaven. I didn't believe that at first, but seeing how he loves Jan Di, I could easily see him being a guardian angel to her.
"So...are you okay?" I asked.
Ji Hoo shrugged. "I guess. I always expected it to come sooner or later. It's only natural isn't it? They've gone through so many things and they've never broke apart."
I nodded. "Of course. It's to be expected."
"Jan Di said you were planning something for her with Ga Eul?"
I shrugged. "A bachelorette party soon. I might give her some extra gifts too. What about you?"
Ji Hoo sighed. "Joon Pyo wants me to be the best man."
A lot of shrugging and sighing happened within those five minutes. Jan Di sent me another text.
"Well... Jan Di wants me to be the maid of honor."
Ji Hoo and I both grinned at each other. We both knew the responsibilities of the Maid of Honor and Best Man. Choosing the perfect gifts, helping pick out gowns and tuxedos, decorating a possibly honeymoon vehicle, attending all pre wedding parties, bearing as a witness for the vows...it wasn't an easy job.
After all the dishes were washed, I talked to Ji Hoo about the wedding and how we were going to plan everything out. Tomorrow we decided, would be our "helping Jan Di and Joon Pyo" day. Picking out the attire and helping them with the wedding invitations. After that...it would probably just be us two planning out everything else.
"See you tomorrow Ji Hoo!" I called as I walked out.
I sighed as I made the way home. Ji Hoo did offer me a ride...but I wanted to walk no,e this time. He was too distracted with the wedding and everything anyways, so I decided to not bother him with my own little problem.
As I walked down a few stores, I heard some footsteps.
"Who's there?" I yelled.
Nobody responded. I picked up my speed and walked as quickly as I could towards home.
Suddenly, someone clasped their hand around my mouth and the other one held my hands together. I screamed and kicked but it was pretty useless.
When I finally got a breath of air, I yelled as loudly as I could.
"HELP!"
