Hello there, as always BOF don't belong to me.

Chapter 8. Breaking the rules

"Morning" Ji Hoo greeted when he entered to the kitchen. Ji Hoo's grandfather and Jan Di were already having breakfast.

"Good morning son" the old man answered. "You two are going to be late if you don't hurry. Also I don´t agree that the two of you are sleeping in separate rooms"

Jan Di started to cough while Ji Hoo just stared at his grandfather. It had passed two days since they returned from Jeju Island, that Wednesday morning his grandfather decided to have breakfast with them, since on Monday he had gone to the clinic before they get up, but that day was different.

"We are taking things easy" Ji Hoo answered. "And remember we didn't have other choice thanks to you and Jan Di's family"

And it was true, from the very moment they returned two days ago, the last thing that he wanted was to make Jan Di uncomfortable; his heart was already filled knowing that she likes him back.

The way to return home had been different, Jan Di was holding his hand all the time, kissing his cheek, and resting her face on his shoulder. But when they arrived to Ji Hoo's house, and Jan Di tried to put her suitcases in his room he stopped her.

"Jan Di-yah, you should sleep in the other room" he had said. His wife frowned.

"What? But sunbae, this is stupid! We were able to easily share a bed for two days on Jeju Island!"

Ji Hoo smiled, he took two steps towards her. "But now it's different, believe me it's a really torture lay next to you and not touch you my otter".

Jan Di blushed.

"This time we are really starting something" He continued "And Jan Di, I don't want to pressure you or making you feel uncomfortable in any way"

Ji Hoo took her face in his hands and kissed her. Their lips met in a slow, soft kiss. Jan Di's hands didn't know what to do, so, taking the edge of his shirt, she pulled him closer to her. Ji Hoo aware of this action and taking advantage of her parted lips, he made their tongues meet, then he nibbled on her lower lip.

They separated due to lack of air, but knowing that perhaps taking things slowly was going to cost, although they were excited to have a normal relationship, the one they did not have before getting married because of business.

Yoon Seok Young cleared his throat interrupting the memory of the young man.

"Very well, I'll leave you alone. Remember this week we start business meeting for this partnership with others investors and the two of you have to be there, because I won't be able to be" He stood up then turned to Jan Di "By the way, my dear I'm interesting in that project you told me for Suam Art Foundation. Make the proposal and send it to me".

The girl nodded with a big smiled as the former president of Korea left the kitchen.

"What was all of that about?"

Jan Di took a bite of her toast.

"Today we don't have night shift at the clinic, if you take me on a date I can tell you, also you will help me" she said.

"Deal"

Wednesday mornings at Suam Clinic were less busy than any other day, Jan Di sighed again after heard more nurses whispering behind her back since her name was on everywhere: newspapers, magazines and social media, because now she was Mrs. Yoon, and it was like if everyone was doubting about her skills in medicine, or why she was working in that clinic.

She was kind of used to things like those since her family were already mediatic because of running an inherited company, but that was driving her crazy. At least her new relationship with her husband was holding her to earth at the same time making her walk on clouds. As she thought about all these things she kept her way through Pediatrics wing, suddenly she saw them. Walking by a corner of the obstetrician area were Ga Eul and So Yi Jeong, Jan Di had to blink a couple of times, but yes those were them.

Meanwhile Ga Eul wasn't thinking correctly, she was extremely nervous, and could not understand why Yi Jeong could walk so calm and smile-wink at every single nurse who pass by there.

"Seriously, Ga Eul-yang, we could go to another place I already told you if it's about money-"

Ga Eul looked at him "You already are so famous just with the fact of breathing, I don't want everyone taking pictures about this or speaking"

Yi Jeong was so get used to that, that he really didn't care, but seeing Ga Eul face he knew that she was right, it was a very delicate new that still was a secret, however that very clinic was the one running by his friend's family and something could go wrong keeping that secret. They already were on time for their appointment, at the beginning Yi Jeong didn't want to enter to the doctor office, but he realized that Ga Eul was trembling.

"Chu Ga Eul?" a nurse called. Ga Eul stayed quite, and Yi Jeong took her hand. She sighed and both of them entered to the doctor office.

"Annyeong" doctor Kim said. He was at his early 40, which made Ga Eul less nervous. "I'm going to take some minutes, please lay down there, I'll go back"

The doctor got out of the room, and Ga Eul sat on the bed, suddenly…

"I can't believe this!"

That voice...When both of them turned at the door, they saw Jan Di arms crossed.

"Jan Di!" Ga Eul exclaimed.

"What are you doing here?"

"A little obvious don't you think?" Yi Jeong answered. Ga Eul slapped his arm, Jan Di still was in shock.

"When were you going to tell me?" she demanded, but it was like something clicked inside of her, she threw herself up on Yi Jeong, she hit him.

"When you told me you were together, you promised me you wouldn't harm her, bastard, my friend is not a game for you how could you-"

"Ja Di stop!"

She kept hitting with the palm of her hands on Yi Jeong, as he was trying to cover himself until he grabbed her by the wrists.

"Please, calmed down." He said.

Jan Di breathed.

"How could you do this to her?"

"He didn't do anything to me," Ga Eul replied instead of Yi Jeong. "This is something we both did consent to"

Jan Di was calmer, she approached Ga Eul and hugged her by the shoulders.

"Do you have any idea what you will do?"

Ga Eul looked at Yi Jeong and then at Jan Di.

"I still have two part-time jobs, with that ..."

"I told you, you weren't alone in this, Ga Eul." He replied then turned to Jan Di "I'll talk to her parents."

Yi Jeong was drawing a courage from he did not know where, not even in his worst dreams did he imagine something like that, but at this point he really did not regret anything; At that moment the doctor entered the office.

"All set. Oh Dr. Yoon, wonderful that you are here, you can assist me"

Jan Di smiled wide open.

A couple of seconds later Ga Eul was lay down, part of her stomach was uncovered, Yi Jeong was beside her, the doctor was on the other side while Jan Di handed her a transducer and placed a gel on Ga Eul's belly.

"Here" Dr. Kim pointed to the monitor "That is your baby. As I see it, is the right size, is developing inside the bag, and for the time of gestation its face is beginning to form"

She looked at the screen very concentrated, Yi Jeong on the other hand felt that he was going to faint at any moment, everything began to spin, he did not distinguish anything, and he did not know that feeling of why his heart was beating so fast. A little dot with the size of a raspberry was his baby and he ... he didn't know what to do.

"Do you want to hear the heart?" Dr. Kim asked, Ga Eul nodded, Yi Jeong still was like in a trance. A small sound like a drum being played softly began to be heard.

"It just is like 120 beats per minute" Jan Di commented.

Then Dr. Kim made other observations, and they were ready.

"Very well, you are entering week 9, it is still too early to know the sex of the baby, but from now on it begins to depend completely on you, you must take care of your diet and routine." He finished.

They left the doctor's office with mixed feelings, while Jan Di spoke excitedly with Ga Eul, Yi Jeong walked behind them with a small black and white photo in his hands, he saw the ultrasound again, and a feeling of emotion and peace invaded him.

That afternoon

Revealing secrets was the most difficult thing that Ga Eul thought could exist in this life, she didn't knew when she became so good hiding things, but this was like something very precious and just for her and Yi Jeong, however when Jan Di knew it, she felt how something heavy was letting her go.

"Let's see, you're saying that she is pregnant. Like with a baby" Jun Pyo asked again. Woo Bin was smiling widely, Ji Hoo did not say anything, and Jan Di still was crossed arms, she wanted to hit Yi Jeong again.

"Yes, Jun Pyo and stop making stupid questions, you're making her uncomfortable"

And it was true, Ga Eul was there with them in the F4 house, she was just looking at her tiptoes, that was going very bad. Ga Eul was sat down on one of the couch, next to her was Jan Di, in front of them walking from a side to another was Jun Pyo, by the bar was Woo Bin, and Yi Jeong and Ji Hoo were sat on individual marble armchairs.

"Are you two are of your minds? How can this possibly happened?"

Everyone rolled the eyes.

"Seriously Jun Pyo, did you really want to know? How we made it?" Yi Jeong asked mad at his friend.

Woo Bin laughed out loud.

"Sorry, Ga Eul this babo it's having a bad time"

"Ga Eul, are you alright?" Jan Di was still concerned about her, the girl nodded, but Jan Di get closer to her and squeezed her hand.

"Yeah"

"There's anything we can do for you staying here?" Ji Hoo asked Yi Jeong this time.

Yi Jeong denied.

"I have to go to Sweden tomorrow, at least a month. My brother is currently in Denmark for same business, my dad don't trust him, and it's everything complicated"

"Okay, whatever, we are with you, and I will be the favorite uncle for Jun Pyo Jr. because it will be a boy"

Even when Jun Pyo didn't understand the seriousness of it all, Yi Jeong was reassured. F4 was as close as a real family, he knew that they were the right home for that baby and Ga Eul.

The afternoon was nice from then on, Ga Eul had never shared so much with the group, they were playing truth or dare, a bit of karaoke and of course Woo Bin, Jun Pyo and Yi Jeong had made a bet on the sex of the baby. On the other hand, Ji Hoo and Jan Di were closer, something that did not go unnoticed by Jun Pyo. However, he didn't say anything, he just drank his drink while Ga Eul and Yi Jeong said goodbye. A bitterness grew in his stomach, as Jan Di commented something in Ji hoo's ear and he laughed, just as he had never seen it.

"We must go" Ji Hoo announced taking Jan Di's hand.

"Yah! It's not even 7pm yet" Jun Pyo said.

Woo Bin's cellphone on the nearest table in front of Jun Pyo started to ring.

"But we have something very important to do" Jan Di finished, they left as Jun Pyo took his friend's phone

"Song Woo Bin!" he called out, Woo Bin had gone to the second floor, but his cellphone had been left behind.

"Aish. Am I a damn receptionist?" he complained

He answered the phone.

"I only will warn you once, Prince Song. Stay away from my wife and my business. Keep your hands away from Goo Jun Hee" and the call hung up.

Goo Jun Hee. Jun Hee. Jun Hee.

Jun Pyo was processing everything, he knew that his friend had connections with the mafia, but that was a threat, and his sister was involved?, now that he realized it he didn't know his sister's husband. She was always careful about it, she never let Jun Pyo or her mother know about her, even though she was as much a puppet of madam Kang as he was.

At that moment the answer came from heaven when his own cellphone rang, and from an unknown number came several photos, his friend and sister more affectionate than is supposed. Worse was when Woo Bin's cellphone rang again, more messages, more photos, but the ones Woo Bin received it was like a list: Jun Pyo getting off his car that morning; Yi Jeong, Ga Eul and Jan Di at the clinic's cafeteria; Ji Hoo entering to the F4 house hours ago.

He threw away his friend's phone. What was going on?

The streets were little busy, however the lights in the buildings and fast food centers indicated that there were many people still there. Still the night loomed before them.

Jan Di enjoyed every moment she had to walk, feel the fresh breeze and be able to appreciate the wonders of the city up close, since she had been watched over by her father's security people and taken everywhere by them, and finally it already stopped, she had forgotten the feeling of walk freely.

"What are you thinking about?" Ji Hoo brought her out of her thoughts. They were holding hands as they walked, she had asked him for a date and after left F4 house they went to a fancy restaurant, but now walking under the moonlight was the real date for her.

"Oh, I'm not sure if I can tell you" she said smiling.

"I can guess"

"What about a game while we walk? Ten questions, you first" she suggested, Ji Hoo seemed to think it but then he nodded.

"When was your first time-?" He started to talk, and Jan Di suddenly stopped making him stop, he laughed and carried on "Your first time dancing?" he chuckled.

Jan Di's cheeks could easily be confused with her pink blouse.

"That day at our engagement party"

Ji Hoo almost had forgotten that first dance of her.

"Oh, right. My feet won't be the same"

"Yah!" she slapped his arm. "I improved for the day of the wedding"

"Because of that I suggested to be barefoot, for my feet's sake"

"Yoon Ji Ho!" she complained, he burst into laugh.

Ji Hoo let her hand free and stepped in front of Jan Di.

"Would you like to dance?"

Jan Di looked over them, they were already in a park, but there was nobody around, just the light of the lampposts.

"But, sunbae there's no music" She observed, Ji Hoo pulled her into him, and he started to rock with her. This time Jan Di just hugged him, and let her head rest on his chest, Ji Hoo's heartbeat was lulling her.

"Your turn" he whispered against her ear.

"How was your first time playing the guitar?"

Ji Hoo separated a little from her but without letting go, he loved the fact of being taller than her.

"How did you know that I also play the guitar?"

Jan Di hid her face against his chest again.

"You have conducted an orchestra, of course you play several instruments" Jan Di replied, she was not going to tell him, that she was peeking on the photographs in his room when he was not there.

"Mmh. I was twelve when I started to grab a guitar, at the beginning I didn't want to, just enjoying the sound of the violins or the feeling of connected with the keys of the piano, but learn how to play a guitar had lead me to sing and to express more of my true feelings"

She haven't heard him singing.

"Would you sing for me?"

"Not today" he said. They still were one against the other in a poor intent of dance, when both of them were more focus in the other.

"Who was your first love, Yoon Jan Di?"

Jan Di parted from him abruptly. The dance had stopped.

"Really? Why that kind of question"

"Are you nervous little otter?"

She shook her head, but that question echoed in her mind, because she wasn't sure, until days ago she didn't know clearly how was to be in love, how can she possibly say who was her first love. She thought about that boy in high school, she thought about one of her sunbaes in the university, even she thought about Jun Pyo, for that weird connection they had when they met, but then she thought about Ji Hoo and it was like if everything related to him stole her breath and took the things that she knew.

"My father" She responded quickly, to get out of that question, although she knew that it was not the answer that he expected.

"Yah! Cheater" Ji Hoo offered his hand again and they chose to walk again.

But something else caught her attention, she felt the terrible curiosity to know who was his first love, because if something makes it clear to people, from the press, those magazines, the internet, it is that the F4 were very famous among the female gender, and they had many conquests they wanted. Also, from the way he kept kissing her, she could deduce that despite how shy and reserved he could be, he wasn't inexperienced either, quite the opposite, where had he learned all this from?, with whom?

"Hey, are you speechless?"

"Sunbae" she said. Ji Hoo sighed, again the sunbae word… "Who was your first time with?"

Now the speechless was Ji Hoo. Jan Di could swear that the natural color of his face went from rosy to pale.

"That's not relevant right now or it is?"

Ji Hoo felt his throat really dry. He had already completely forgotten those feelings he had for his best friend Min Seo Hyun, or that very, very close relationship that they had. Same that ended in disaster and with the model going to France. He didn't want to bring up that subject again, because what he felt for Jan Di was something completely different and more intense.

"It's just a question you-"

"The car I asked for us to take us home has arrived, let's go" he cut her off.

The way home was smooth, Jan Di did not like having to take steps back at the beginning again, when their relationship had progressed so much, because if Ji Hoo really did not want to talk it was because that girl was surely important, she felt something inside of her that she didn't like it. And she was frustrated knowing that she was married to Ji Hoo, and that other girl had an advantage over her, because she had been part of him and she had not.

When they got home they almost tripped, the whole house was dark, and with the lights of their cellphones they entered. Jan Di did not want to be separated from Ji Hoo, less when checking that no lights were on and that the whole house was without electricity.

"Grandfather today went to a seminary in Busan, he comes back on Friday" Ji Hoo said because he knew Jan Di was worried about him.

"And what about the house? What happened? Perhaps you didn't pay the electricity bills" she teased him.

"Ha ha" he said sarcastically "I think I it's a burnt wire or something, I'll call tomorrow to have it fixed. Then Jan Di felt Ji Hoo walk away from her.

"Hey! where are you going?"

Ji Hoo lit up her face with the cell phone.

"To sleep tomorrow I have the night shift and all I can rest is good" he replied smiling.

"Ji Hoo" she called again and he stopped again and turned to her.

"Can I sleep in your room? I don't like the darkness"

The heat, the lack of electrical power and all of the above indicated that this was a bad idea, they were both already lying on his bed, and it couldn't be that difficult, except that now the simple fact of being close to each other generated their own electricity. And maybe it was the feeling of having the other close, plus everything that happened in the day to them, they both fell asleep quickly.

The next morning, Jan Di was still sunk in the smell that Ji Hoo gave off, she reprimanded herself several times at dawn for practically being on him, but there came a time when she stopped caring about that, and that was the reason why what her dream was so pleasant.

When she heard the noise of the shower she woke up, she was lying on Ji Hoo's side, but he was not there, he was taking a shower. She had always been an impulsive girl, but she remembered the good times with him, their spontaneous relationship, and the desire to be close to him, that she again wondered what they were waiting for?

They had come up with one simple rule last Sunday, things would go slow between them, but in that very moment an idea pupped up in her mind, maybe it was time to break the rules.

In the meantime, for others that morning was already more significant, people at the airport came and went, the loudspeakers announced different things, and everyone was involved in their own affairs.

Yi Jeong's flight had not been announced yet, Ga Eul had agreed to accompany him, and the time there had been quite rigid considering the constant questions from Yi Jeong's father, or the chills that his mother caused her, who was also there.

"I don't understand, your parents are already divorced, and your mom is supposed to hate your father because of his constant cheating with other women, why is she here" Ga Eul whispered at Yi Jeong's ear

"I always have think that is because she regrets to get divorce, but believe me, my mom was really bad of health because of my dad" he answered. His dad was in front of him on his phone, meanwhile his mom was reading a magazine.

"Ga Eul come with me for a moment" Yi Jeong pulled her with him to a remote place in that big airport and without many people. All night Yi Jeong had been thinking about how much he wanted to stay, he did not stop looking at his baby's ultrasound, that black and white photo that rested in his pocket. Then seeing Ga Eul, his sweet Ga Eul, so pure, innocent, sweet, having to become strong and fierce.

It made him remember the rules that he had always made for dating women, and that he had simply sent them to hell for her.

Rule one: don't date nice girls

"Thanks for bring me here, I have never had eaten so many popcorn in the movies" she had said, that very first date. He couldn't help to stare at her, every gesture, every smile, she was so different.

"That means that maybe it could be a second date?"

Ga Eul blushed, Yi Jeong was not so get used to this kind of attitude because every women around him wanted two things: his money and that he take them to bed. But there was she blushing, smiling and driving him crazy.

"Yi Jeong, do you want to tell me something? your parents will be mad when they realized that-"

His mouth was quickly on hers, his lips began to move in a desperate kiss, but deep. It was as if a puzzle was searching for its shape and finding it and falling apart again only to rejoin. He separated from her, but their foreheads were still united. He wanted to take every last taste of her.

Rule number one had been broken for a long time, and he did not expect to advance further, only that having her close achieved what no one had done in him.

Rule two: Won't mess with foolish girls

"Don't add too much pressure" he had told her.

She laughed, but her hands still was trying to shape the clay. Yi Jeong had sighed, he was beside her.

"This is impossible, Yi Jeong oppa, and this why-"

"No Ga Eul don't stop the wheel, you have to continue throwing*"

"What?"

But she stopped with the electric motor and clay flew everywhere, Ga Eul's face, hair and clothes were filled with clay, but when she saw him she burst into laughter because he was completely full of mud and clay. Who would say that the pottery expert, the one awarded by Unesco, would be in his workshop with a young woman who was damaging his art processes, and that would cause him so much joy, just because it was her. He started laughing too.

Already at that point rule number two has disappeared where it was the number one.

"Chu Ga Eul, you have broken all my rules, all my schemes"

Ga Eul was trying to follow his conversation but she still was confused, she had him close really close, every minute she knew that he was closer to go, and she was afraid.

"Please come back to me" she said.

Rule Three: definitely, don't get involved with girls connected with friends.

"All of you are really something, I want to introduce to you my best friend, Chu Ga Eul" she said, "Ga Eul, F4" Jan Di had said. Even when he and Ga Eul had months dating secretly. Yi Jeong had be quite because two of three rules still was manageable, but at that engagement party of his friends, he realized that broken rule three was a totally mess. But, then he had no regrets at all.

"Passengers with destiny to Sweden, please on board to A5 gate"

Ga Eul looked at him again, this time she saw something she never had seen, Yi Jeong had tears in his eyes. Yi Jeong hugged her. He had chosen a directly flight, because he didn't want to have time to think, but right now, he only wanted to think about her.

"Stay safe, I will come back to you, as soon as possible. Just take care of our-"

"I know" she said hugging him back.

"Saranghae" he whispered in her ear.

"Saranghae" she repeated.

"It's time, Yi Jeong" his dad had come to them, Ji Yeong mother too.

Yi Jeong watched one last time Ga Eul's face, and said goodbye to her.

Ga Eul looked how both men started to walk to their gate, and just were a little silhouette. She was holding her tears back.

"Walk with me, my dear" Yi Jeong's mother said. Ga Eul faced her, after a couple of second they were walking through the exit of the airport.

"You are so stubborn" the old woman talked again.

"What are you talking about?" Ga Eul asked.

"I already know that Yi Jeong knows the truth, I warned you: this is not the solution for your problems"

"My baby is not on sale, Mrs."

She laughed "On sale? That baby is not yours is my son's, and someone like you is not going to ruin the little bit that is still in my family"

"Look, there's no way I accept something like you are offering to me, sorry but not" she said "Ah, and this baby of course is also mine, and I will protect him of someone like you. I got to go, have a good day"

And Ga Eul left Yi Jeong's mother behind. As Ga Eul walked, she kept thinking of where she had achieved so many strength. She was not like that, but maybe she also was breaking her own rules.

"Okay, let's play with fire" the woman said a she watched his son's girlfriend go away.

throwing*: pottery technique that consists of modeling the pieces with the hands.

okay, was this chapter so intense? Sorry for the delay, but I am a journalist and my country is in electoral process these months, so, I have been busy.

Thank you so much for your support and reviews, wow, there's much to talk...Jan Di and Ji Hoo what would happen if Jan Di brake their rule?

SoEul, oww it was hard for me wrote that, because I did want him to stay with her, but..but...that was necessary. On the other hand I re-watch episode 18, and I really had to put something about those stupids rules that Yi Jeong told to Ga Eul.

Uhh, now we have two conflits here: 1) the mafia, Woo Bin, Jun Pyo's sister and everyone threatened. And of course 2) Yi Jeong's crazy mom. I enjoy these plot twists.
