The day before Yi Jeong left for Sweden*
Yi Jeong
The youngest of the F4 felt bittersweet. Yi Jeong would be leaving Seoul in a matter of hours and he had mixed emotions about it. He smiled at the vase in front of him, it was half done but he felt such gratitude just by looking at it. It was for Ga Eul, as much as he can he tried to embody her in the vase.
A gentle soul and extraordinary grace, Ga Eul was truly beautiful and he wanted her to see that. He was about to continue his work when Woo Bin arrived in his studio.
"Yo So Yi Jeong!" His best friend greeted him with enthusiasm.
He looked up from the vase and smiled at the Don Juan in front of him. Yi Jeong placed the vase in the corner and greeted his best friend.
"Whats up?" Yi Jeong asked while he patted Woo Bin in the back.
"Well I came here to party! Don't you have a send off party?" Woo Bin asked with confusion.
Yi Jeong chuckled lightly, amused by his best friends confusion.
"Who told you that?"
Woo Bin smiled sheepishly while he scratched the back of his head "I just thought... you know since you're going to Sweden tomorrow?"
Yi Jeong smiled at Woo Bin and punched him lightly "I have a date today so how bout I meet you and the others tonight?"
"Yah! So Yi Jeong why would you prioritize your women before us!" Woo Bin nearly yelled, a trait that Gu Jun Pyo seemed to have influenced on the others.
Yi Jeong smiled "Its not just any girl, I have date with Ga Eul" he said with much excitement as he could show without looking or sounding like the leader of F4, Jun Pyo.
Woo Bin looked surprised "Chu Ga Eul? I thought you don't like girls like her?"
"Well somehow she wiggled herself in" Yi Jeong said while he walked further to the studio to grab a cup of tea.
Woo Bin sat down and made a more confusing look, "when did that happen? Why am I knowing it just now?" He asked as he gave a stare at Yi Jeong, who was placing a tea set in front of him.
Yi Jeong once again chuckled "Well we've been busy with Jun Pyo and Jan Dis love story that I forgot to tell you about mine"
Woo Bin looked confused as ever, "Since when did you become so cheesy?" He asked the potter who only smiled at him with glee.
Yi Jeong took a sip of tea while he waited for Woo Bin to finish processing everything.
"So you like the country bumpkin?" Woo Bin asked and Yi Jeong nodded with a sweet smile.
Woo Bin made a sad smile and congratulated his best friend for finally settling on one girl and not playing around. "I thought you'd never settle unless you're forced in an arranged marriage" Woo Bin said.
Yi Jeong made a smirk while he played his tea cup. "I thought so too, Grandpa doesn't know yet so I guess Ga Eul and I are still safe"
"I wouldn't want to live through another Jun Pyo-Jan Di mess again" Woo Bin sighed as he patted the back of the famous potter.
"Don't worry ours will be better"
Ga Eul
Ga Eul smiled at herself on the mirror, she felt excited about the date that she wore her best outfit.
She wore a pastel pink sweater with a white blouse inside and paired it with a black flowy skirt, she also matched it with her favorite black over the knee boots. She twirled around the room, today she had mixed emotions, she didn't want Yi Jeong to leave but she was also glad that Yi Jeong is finally opening himself up to the concept of soulmates.
"Today will be a good day" she said to herself with a smile, trying to forget that the day would end with Yi Jeong leaving wihtout her.
Ga Eul grabbed her phone that was placed on the table and was about to head out the door when her phone beeped.
I'm outside of your house, ready for our date? :) -Yi Jeong received 1:00pm
A text from Yi Jeong made her smile immediately. Ga Eul then left her room with the door half open, but when she was about to open the living room door she felt a bit dizzy. She stood for awhile to compose herself, "you cant be dizzy now, you have a date with Yi Jeong!" She said to herself as she tried her best to ignore the spinning room.
Present Day
Woo Bin
Everyone was in a frantic state while Ga Eul was brought in a room where none of them were allowed to enter. She was surrounded by doctors and they couldn't see her through the window. Jan Di was silently weeping on Jun Pyos shoulder, Ji Hoo was reading a chart that had Ga Euls name on it and Yi Jeong was nowhere to he found.
"Where is he?" He said to himself as he paced back and forth, his phone clutched in his hands. It has been an hour after he called Yi Jeong and still the potter wasnt there. It was unlikely of him not to come, it was Ga Eul at stake. Woo Bin knew Gi Jeong would be here if he could, he felt that something was wrong. He tried to dial the So heir's number but everytime he tried it would go to voicemail. His worry worsend, he hoped his best friend was okay and not in a bad state like Ga Eul is.
Woo Bin sat on the farthest seat from where Ga Eul was being treated, his head in his hands he let out a frustrated sigh. He brought out a small envelope out from his coat, it was her letter. The letter he kept from Yi Jeong for years, he smoothed out the creases and wondered if this would be a good time for Yi Jeong to read it. Since his talk with his sister he had brought the letter wherever he went, he thought that anytime could be the time for him to let Yi Jeong know about it and that he was jut waiting for a perfect time to tel him. But is seemed that he never had the perfect timing, it made him think that there will never be a perfect timing for the matters they hold.
Ji Hoo looked at the Don Juan while he held Ga Euls chart in his hands. It didnt look well, he saw Ga Euls scan from Japan and compared to her new scans that just arrived and it was not good. The tumor grew back and it was much bigger and more aggressive than the last one she had; it would be much riskier to remove and treat it, it could kill her.
Ji Hoo went up to Woo Bin and placed his hand on his shoulder, giving a sympathetic gesture. Woo Bin looked up to his friend, a few tears escaping his eyes as he held the letter tightly in his hands. "Please Ji Hoo tell me its good news" he said with desperation. His eyes pleading, his body shaking, Woo Bin tried his best to calm himself as he saw Ji Hoo shook his head. "I'm sorry Woo Bin, I dont have good news"
Woo Bin punched the wall behind him and gave out a frustrated scream. Jan Di and Jun Pyo went up to them and asked for an update.
"So what's wrong with Ga Eul?" Jun Pyo asked
Ji Hoo looked at Jan Di who was staring at him with same look as Woo Bin, desperation for good news.
But he couldn't give it to them, he couldn't soothe the pain they're having, he could only worsen it.
"The tumor grew back and its much worse" Ji Hoo stated with a sympathetic look in his eyes. Slowly he watched them crumble. Jan Di felt weak by hearing the news and immediately sat back on her chair, Jun Pyo still had his mouth open and Woo Bin sulked in his seat.
Ji Hoo sat beside Woo Bin and places his hand on his the mafia princes back, trying his best to calm him. Yi Jeong was still missing in action, no knew where he was and why he couldn't pick up his damn phone. 'He should be here' Ji Hoo thought as he fished out his phone from his pocket and dialled the potters number.
His phone rang three times before someone answered. "Hello So Yi Jeong! Where are you?" Ji Hoo asked, Both Woo Bin and Jun Pyo looked up to Ji Hoo when they heard Yi Jeongs name.
Ji Hoos eyes went wide as he listened to the other line, he seemed shocked and confused which made Woo Bin ask "Whats going on? Where's Yi Jeong?"
"Wait. WHAT?" Ji Hoo nearly yelled, surprising the three who made confused looks. "Yah! Whats going on?" Jun Pyo pestered.
Ji Hoo was angry, it was clearly shown in his face. He rarely gets mad, and it was an unfamiliar sight to see Ji Hoo glaring with his knuckles turning white from his grip of the phone.
"No! Bring him here now!" Ji Hoo yelled and hung up the phone.
Jan Di stood up from her chair and tried to wipe away the tears that kept streaming down her face. She went to Ji Hoo and asked what was wrong.
"Ji Hoo what is it? Why are you mad?" Jan Di continued to question.
Ji Hoo looked at his four friends and made a sad smile. He asked himself why was he the bearer of bad news, shouldn't he be giving good news instead of bad ones? Everything was turning into a big mess and he was supposed to be the calm in the center of the chaos, the cleaner of the piles of problems that always followed the group around and the one who solved each puzzle that come their way but today he wasnt that. Today he felt like the Grimm Reaper, he felt that he kept sucking the joy out of everyone by the words that came out of his mouth.
"Its about Yi Jeong..." he began.
