I'm writing this while I really should be focusing on a paper but eh... I'll never finish this story if I don't write now. I need to keep writing now that I still have inspiration.

With that being said, I also know that some people were shocked that Ga Eul hit Yi Jeong. For her it was a way to vent both his not contacting her and him being considerate of his own health. She still loves him and is in love with him so she doesn't want to see him suffering. Somewhere she hopes that he will snap out of it this stupper and start looking at himself and start taking care of himself.

With that being said, I hope you enjoy this chapter!


Ga Eul sat with Ina and Jan Di in the porridge shop six months after Jun Pyo had left the wonder girl. Despite the long time apart, Jan Di still missed him and wanted him to return. Ga Eul could see that she was slowly moving on and getting closer to Ji Hoo again, like she had been in the beginning. Even though the wonder girl herself wasn't ready to admit it yet, she was truly moving closer to Ji Hoo again.

It had been her plan to wait for Jun Pyo but he hadn't contacted her in months and she was tired of waiting. If she really meant as much to him as he had said, he wouldn't leave and not contact her even after texting her he'd be back soon enough. Soon enough wasn't six months! It was a month at most! So Jun Pyo had missed the deadline and Jan Di was starting to accept that Jun Pyo didn't love her anymore.

"How are you and Yi Jeong these days?" It had been five months since Ga Eul had returned home and it didn't do anything to the tension between Yi Jeong and her best friend. It also didn't help that Ga Eul was always around Yi Jeong and he was never able to take a girl home anymore because he was always faced with her judging eyes. Whenever Ga Eul wasn't around because she was on another businesstrip, Ina would be in the lounge with Ji Hoo or Woo Bin who both took turns watching the girl as they had become the little girl's honorary godfathers.

"We're civil." Ga Eul said, looking up from Ina's drawing. "What about Jun Pyo? Has he contacted you yet? A text? A call? A card?"

"Nothing." Jan Di answered, not even surprising Ga Eul anymore. "He doesn't even contact the F4, his best friends. They're all busy these days so I guess he's just being careful or something. School's starting up again soon."

Before Ga Eul could reply the master started talking in his sleep about having been to the blue house himself. Jan Di wanted to wake him up when an elderly man had walked into the shop and ordered his special dish. He'd come in multiple times over the past couple of months and had always ordered something special that was not on the menu. Neither Ga Eul nor Jan Di had any idea who the man was but the master seemed to know him so they didn't say anything.

"Ga Eul?" Ina asked for her attention after the man had left the place. The young woman looked down at the little girl, "Can we go somewhere today? I'd like to go out today, I don't want to stay in."

"Sure thing, kiddo. Any place special you want to visit?" Ga Eul asked.

When Ina asked to go see the pretty drawings, Ga Eul wasn't surprised at all. Just like her father, Ina was into art and loved drawing. For a young girl at nearly 4, Ina was already quite talented and didn't stick to just stickfigures. It's not like she could draw real people yet but she was definitely better than the average 4 year old. Ga Eul was planning to get her on art classes if she wanted to when school would start up at the beginning of next month.

After saying goodbye to her best friend, Ga Eul strapped Ina into the car and drove her to the So museum. One of the first things Ga Eul had done as new CEO of the company was to make the relationship between the two companies by proposing a longstanding contract between the two.

"Your father's paintings should be here." Ga Eul told the young girl under her care. "Unless they already took them down to be shipped to Sweden next week, that is."

"Really? Will it be there?" Of all the artists that had their art presented and that Ina had seen in her short life, she really liked Shi Hyun's art the best. "I really hope it is still displayed. I wanna see daddy again."

"Me too, kiddo." Ga Eul said, tears gathering in her eyes.

Soon after the two were walking through the gallery and were admiring the art that Shi Hyun had made at the end of his life. The color and strokes showed his fear of the end that was coming sooner than he had thought. Some showed hope for what was to come afterwards. Others showed anger at the fact that he was leaving behind those he loved the most: Ga Eul and Ina. All were beautiful though because he was able to show his feelings through such a simple thing: art.

After looking at the paintings, the duo went to the main hall of the museum, displaying all the pots and vases Yi Jeong had made for the family. It wasn't even half of everything he had ever made but it was enough to attract a lot of people.

"Wow." Ina said, immediately pulled closer to the displays by the beauty of something so simple as a pot. "This is beautiful. It looks so fragile though."

"Turned upside down, stepped upon, cut over and over again, and it needs to outstand 1300 degrees of heat. When it goes through all that and it still can't be yours, you need to completely give it up." A voice behind them said.

They both turned around, Ga Eul with tears in her eyes as she remembered the last time he said those words to her. Yi Jeong was standing behind them, a sad smile on his face as he looked at the slightly younger woman before turning to the young girl. "Young Ina, are you enjoying the display?"

"Did you make these, sir?" Ina asked.

Yi Jeong nodded and crouched down next to her, "What did I tell you? You don't have to call me sir. You can just call me Yi Jeong or something. I did make these, do you like it?"

"It's so... beautiful. It's delicacy makes it very beautiful." Ina told him.

"Are you sure you're only 4, little one? For a second I thought you were way older." Yi Jeong said, "Would you like to see how it is made, a pot?"

"Yes!" The girl exclaimed excitedly before turning to her guardian, "If it's okay with you, Eulie?"

"Sure thing, flower." She turned her eyes to the F4's Casanova, "When are we welcome?"

"We can go now, if you have time." Yi Jeong offered, "Maybe tonight I can take you both out to dinner?"

Though she wasn't sure if it was the right thing, Ga Eul nodded, "That'd be great, sunbae."
