It has been a week since Ga Eul left her apartment and her absence wrecked Yi Jung's life to the core. He is back. The old Casanova of Korea has now raised from the grave.
For the past weeks, Yi Jung spend his time clubbing and drinking till dawn. His philandering ways are back and this time it's much worse. He doesn't call or meet up with his friends and this made them worry.
Woo Bin knew best what to do. The moment Ga Eul left, he assembled some of his men to trace her immediately but no results of her whereabouts yet.
One night, after sobering up, he drove his orange lotus to their Family House and he was quickly greeted by the maids. He inquired the whereabouts of his mother and told them she's in her study room. He got a call from his mother earlier when he was still drunk telling him she needs to meet him. He waited for a few hours before he sees her in order to sober up a little.
Yi Jung was so frustrated again that when he proceed to his mother's study, he didn't noticed a Purple Lotus parked outside. The man driving it emerged and as he entered the house, surprised maids bowed at him.
"Where are they?" He inquired
/ /
Yi Jung hazily barge in the study room. He found her mother reading a news paper and fold it the moment she saw him. He give him a smirk, as if saying he is proud of what he is doing. His mom looked at him in disgust and he evilly laughed back.
"So Yi Jung, WHY ARE YOU IN A MESS RIGHT NOW? WHAT IF HAE RA SEES YOU LIKE THIS? WHAT WOULD SHE THINK?" She continued scolding him but he just rolled his eyes and continued giving sarcastic laughs. "UGH! This has gone too far So Yi Jung. Don't forget that Ga E-" She was cut off when Yi Jung noticed she was about to mention Ga Eul's name.
"SO WHAT NOW? YOU'RE GONNA KILL HER? ABDUCT HER? HUH?!" His harsh and loud voice silenced her. "TCH! It doesn't matter... CAUSE SHE IS GONE NOW!" There was a long silence before he started talking again.
"You..Did you invite Ga Eul to the Engagement party?" Madam So looked at him with her eyebrows raised.
"No... I didn't invite her.. But I let her in after she was stopped by the Guess Checker." She turned back from him and tried to head back to her table. "Well.. Whoever invited him have my thanks.. At least she knows the truth now and-"
"YOU! ARE YOU HAPPY YOUR SON IS LIKE THIS?!" He grabbed her arm as he cut her off. She could smell alcohol from his mouth so she guess he is still drunk. Normally, Yi Jung wouldn't even raised a finger at her, so she just understand him.
"Yi Jung-ah.." She brushed his hand calmly. ".. I know that you are only doing this because you're drunk. Get a rest now because tomorrow, you'll have a lunch with Hae Ra-sshi"
"Mianhae Omma... But my decision is final... If I'm not with Ga Eul.. Then I'd rather die single. I'm not going with this Arranged Marriage"
"ARRANGED MARRIAGE?" A familiar voice questioned and Yi Jung and Madam So looked back to see whose familiar voice it was. Both were too shocked to move. They can't believe it. He really is here! Wearing a simple white V-neck shirt and pants, He is leaning against the wall with his arms crossed as he listened to their whole conversation. The two where so busy arguing that they didn't noticed his presence in the room.
"So it was just an arranged marriage.." He smirked right back at them as he move towards their direction. "Tch.. No wonder.."
Yi Jung was too shock to react. Random questions emerged inside his head. 'Why is he here?', 'Isn't he in London?', 'Did he heard everything?', 'Is he alright?'
He was in complete awe that he failed to notice that he is few meters away from them. He patted his shoulder as if waking him up from daydreaming. "Anyeong, Yi Jung."
Yi Jung's mouth formed a small smile. "Hyung!"
Yi Jung's older brother, So Ii Hyun is finally back. Although the two grew up together, Ii Hyun left for London four and a half years ago to continue his study in art and painting.
So Ii Hyun is 4 years older than Yi Jung. And if Yi Jung's known talent is pottery, Ii Hyun would be painting. His paintings attracted many attention and even when he is in London, his works always end up successfully. He is a prodigy when it comes to paintings and his works are highly praised by critics. Some even would say that he is the reincarnation of Leonardo Da Vinci or that of Raphael. The two brothers are really very famous in the Art World.
The two brothers were as close as a pod. They often play sports together or teach each other skills. So Yi Jung looked up to his brother even until today. He regards him with a complex mixture of love and fear, exasperation and awe, as evident when he did not even dare utter a word of complain when he commands him something. The other F4 members also appear to share a fear of him as well, not daring to disagree with his decisions concerning them and other serious matters. On the other hand, his older brother is always protective of him and even to that of the whole F4, Jan Di and Jae Kyung even till today.
"That's enough for now. Let's save the happy reunion later." He replied to Yi jung. "Jung...Go outside and wait for me there." He calmly ordered his brother. Yi Jung was about to move when his mother speak up suddenly.
"I'm not done talking. Yi Jung, as of tomorrow, you will act like Hae Ra's fiancee and mean it. Understand?" Yi Jung's mood quickly shifted but he remained expressionless.
"Yi Jung... Don't make me repeat what I said." His voice was dead serious. Yi Jung immediately went out after he said it. Even though it's his mother, he wouldn't want to disobey his Hyung. Aside from Jun Pyo, Ii Hyun is the only one who can order him.
His mother exclaimed in disbelief as Yi Jung's figure went out. 'How come he follows his brother's order but not mine? I'm His Mother, for god's sake!'. She turned her eyes back at Ii Hyun.
"Was I not enough?" Ii Hyun questioned
"Tch! So Ii Hyun... Don't get involve!"
"Need a new museum, sold your first son. Need investment, trying to sell her other son. The next time you need something, what will you do then? Since you don't have any more children." His expression pained as he recall how his mother did the same thing at him 3 years ago and how it failed. Yes, his arranged marriage with the Italian artist Melanie Medici failed a year after their wedding. Although the two remained close friends after and are supporting each other's relationship now.
"Everything has been for your sake" His mom answered him back regarding his accusations.
"And who decides that? Who the hell says that everything is for us? I have never once thought, that you've done anything for our sake." His tone was cold and serious
"Your world of happiness, who do you think gave it to you?" His mother answered him back
Ii Hyun gave a sarcastic laugh at his mother's answer. "Happiness, you say? Do you even know what happiness is?...Yi Jung...Let him be" He said with a warning tone.
"I TOLD YOU IT'S NONE OF YOUR CONCERN!" Madam So replied back in a loud voice
"No... This time, I wont just sit back and watch." He replied as he leave his frustrated mother behind.

Yi Jung sat outside of the room. He keep fiddling his fingers as he waits for his Hyung. A few minutes later, he quickly stand from where he was sitting as the door opened and Ii Hyun emerged. He knows the two had a huge discussion but he couldn't figure out what. Ii Hyun looked fine as if nothing happened. He just smiled at him.
"Let's go."
AN: OHH! Ii Hyun is here! oh and yes, his dialogues are same with Jun Hee's dialogues :)
