Chapter 13. Fate and destiny
The universe has an order. No matter how hard you try, you can't get away from it. However, while fate is set by outside forces, destiny involves choices
Different. How different can be a person you haven't seen in years? Min Seo Hyun could tell that Ji Hoo was not the same shy and cute boy she met years ago.
The moment she ended the call and told the young man in front of her what had happened, Ji Hoo had entered in a momentary trance and then quickly got up and left the place, she tried to stop him to make him cool down but he insisted on looking for Jan Di. His eyes denoted concern, fear and anguish. Seo Hyun did not leave him, and somehow they managed to find the main street where the accident had occurred, which was not far from where they were, everything had happened a few seconds ago, but the revolt of people because the accident , three terribly damaged cars and the arrival of an ambulance was stressful enough for everyone.
Ji Hoo rushed in a panic to where paramedics were picking up a person and applying necessary measures and implements for all injuries.
Ji Hoo couldn't get that close, the police had also come to control and put order in the whole situation, but his heart was beating faster and faster. He had a desire to push everyone away and show his doctor's license; his panic increased when he saw the clothes of the person who had already been taken to the emergency room in the ambulance. Although the clothes were tattered, he could distinguish a purple coat and parts of black pants, such as the ones his wife had worn that morning to go out with him.
"Get out of my way! I need to pass!" Ji Hoo was fighting with a barrier of policemen but the ambulance had already left. Seo Hyun finally reached her side again.
"Ji Hoo let's go to the hospital, they haven't confirmed identities yet, calm down!" The supermodel ordered him. He was breathing hard.
"But, I just saw it, Seo Hyun…This cannot be possible"
Seo Hyun was pulling his arm to make him walk away from that place, while people were dispersing, the ambulance had picked up the injured ones, and the police took care of the car accident in front of them, which Ji Hoo had avoided seeing.
Could fate be so cruel to him? First his parents, then Jan Di…
"Ji Hoo!"
That scream awakened all his senses. The intonation, sweet melody, soft but shaky timbre. Was it ... was it her?
He turned at the same time as the woman next to him.
His heart returned to its place. Jan Di was running to him, her hair was a mess, she had lost her scarf, but at first glance she was fine.
Ji Hoo rushed to meet her, he didn't care about explanations, or knowing what had happened, he only wrapped his arms around her when they were close, and hugged her so tightly that he could feel her warmth, and her breath in his ear.
The seconds seemed eternal, for a moment all of Paris, all of France, all of Europe and the whole freaking world globe disappeared, for him it only mattered that she was still alive.
Jan Di separated from him a little, ending the hug, Ji Hoo studied her face, which he had imprisoned between his hands.
"Don't ever do this to me again. Don't scare me like that again, I thought ..."
"It's okay, I'm fine. At the time that the accident happened, I was on this street, I was trying to prevent someone from crossing, but that person crossed anyway, and he was run over, then more cars collided with each other, and I…I was paralyzed on a corner of the street ... I still don't believe this" Jan Di tried to explained.
"The car of my workers was also on these streets and they confused everything. You gave us a good scare" this time it was the voice of Seo Hyun who walked to them. Jan Di managed a smile, but still held tight Ji Hoo's hand.
After everything that had happened that afternoon, Seo Hyun took them back to the hotel. The truth is that Jan Di thought that the supermodel was very nice, and whatever had happened between her and Ji Hoo already seemed solved. What gave her the most joy was that all the projects involved with the Suam Art Foundation in France seemed to be working in the best way, and Seo Hyun was helping them.
It was already night, and Jan Di was watching the beautiful lights of the city from the balcony of the room. The towering stars glowed in the soft fabric of the dark sky, giving her a feeling of tranquility. Suddenly she felt two arms wrap around her waist, she smiled and leaned against Ji Hoo's chest, who hugged her from behind.
"Enjoying the night?" Ji Hoo asked, his chin tucked into her shoulder, and his breath as he spoke tickled her slightly.
"Yes, my favorite moment" She said.
Ji Hoo began to plant soft kisses on her collarbone.
She closed her eyes enjoying the contact. Then she gently turned around to face him, she wrapped her arms around her husband's neck and got closer to him.
"Thank you for caring so much for me today" she whispered "I am very happy just being with you"
"Fate is quite funny, I never imagined something like this when I found you screaming outside F4's house in frustration about how much you hated the Yoon heir" He commented very close to her lips.
"Ji Hoo-yah!" She complained. He smirked.
"I love you" he said
"Nado saranghae" Jan Di replied. And he ended the distance between them with a long, soft and much desired kiss.
Jan Di and Ji Hoo spent another week in Paris, enjoying every little detail that the city and autumn brought them. Sometimes they ate with Seo Hyun and finalize details of the fashion show that the Suam Foundation would collaborate with, Ji Hoo was less awkward in front of Seo Hyun, and Jan Di more confident. When the day of the presentation arrived, everything went wonderfully and they hoped they could do something like that again.
The following week, their routine returned to normal since they both returned to Seoul, the month of September was over and October greeted everyone with gentle blizzards that eventually was preparing them for winter.
For each one, the days passed differently, after going to talk with Grandpa So, Yi Jeong had been able to return to part of the normality of his life, his father was highly surprised by everything that was happening, but he did not say anything. On the other hand, his mother had disappeared from his sight, although Jun Pyo had told him that she had been at his house meeting with Madame Kang, Yi Jeong expected the worst but weeks passed and he still did not know anything about her.
Ga Eul was more nervous than ever with that, because after everything she had experienced months ago it was clear to her that Yi Jeong's mother did not give up easily on things.
Ga Eul had used the time to distance herself from all her part-time jobs, and prepare her final presentation thesis to graduate in the next few months, that and her dad's recovery made her very happy.
"Dad, I'll help you to carry that" Ga Eul told him taking a bag that the man was finishing closing. That day he was discharged, after several days under medical observation.
For Mr. Chu it had been a great shock to know the condition of his only daughter, but two days ago after meeting this Yi Jeong he had decided to trust them a little, although he did not like the young man in the least.
"Give me that, you can't force yourself, you must take care of that baby" he said pointing to Ga Eul's visible five-month-old belly, which was already making itself feel.
Ga Eul smiled
"Dad ... This doesn't make me a porcelain doll, give that to me I'll help you"
"I already said no, from now on I'll take care of you" He took the bag from her again. At that moment, Mrs. Chu entered the clinic room and crossed her arms.
"Neither one nor the other. I'll take that, now let's go So Yi Jeong is waiting outside for us with the car"
Father and daughter looked at each other and nodded, walking slowly her father and mother left the room, Ga Eul sighed and looked at her hand for the last time, on her left ring finger there was a beautiful engagement ring that Yi Jeong had given her days before, promise of a beautiful life together, which she only hoped would not be ruin.
December with its lights, colors, flavors, permeated every home in Korea. By unanimous decision the group of friends was going to spend December 25 together in New Caledonia, and by unanimous decision means that, Goo Jun Pyo made them all get on a plane that day, and when they landed in warm New Caledonia, They had no choice but to conform to the Shinhwa heir's plan.
December in New Caledonia was something strange, they were used to the cold climates of that season, big coats, hats, scarves, gloves, but the French island was quite warm in December. Furthermore, Ha Jae Kyung had decided to join the group and was there with them, much to Jun Pyo's chagrin.
They had landed on the island in the morning, so they settled in a large and familiar cabin, they had already rested a little, and in the evening they had shared a Christmas dinner. Of course, Ga Eul and Jan Di still felt somewhat guilty for being in a heavenly destination and not with their respective families.
After dinner was over everyone had dispersed into the living room.
Woo Bin meditated on everything that had happened in recent months, Jun Pyo's sister had already managed to sign the divorce, but she had decided to move to another country to start from scratch; Jun Pyo carried an uncomfortable truth after learning that his mother had been the cause of Jan Di and Ji Hoo being married, he tried to forget the charismatic girl but seeing her there smiling only made him feel strange.
Jae Kyung looked at all of them incredulous, so would they spend Christmas like that? Really?
"Hey no" Jae Kyung said suddenly, everyone turned to see her "let's play something" she smiled.
Jun Pyo frowned.
Yi Jeong was sitting next to Ga Eul and seemed to ponder it.
"You never think good things, Miss Jae Kyung"
"Yeah, monkey. We're not going to play a stupid game of truth or dare."
"Are you scared Jun Pyo?" Jan Di challenged him. And he seemed to want to tell her something.
"Take it easy, people!" she stood up, everyone's gaze was on her.
"Let's play: Clothes Off"
Everyone looked at each other, Woo Bin almost spit out the wine he was drinking. Ga Eul was confused, Ji Hoo just sighed.
"Oh come on" Jae Kyung complained "It's a simple game, we ask questions and whoever doesn't answer must take off a piece of clothing"
"Unnie!" Ga Eul exclaimed "As I am right now, I am not going to take anything off"
And it was true, Ga Eul sported a huge belly because of her 8 months of gestation.
Jae Kyung smiled
"If you answer, you don't have to take anything off, and that goes for everyone"
"Well let's get this over with" Ji Hoo said.
"That is the way, bro, let's play" Woo Bin agreed.
"Ji Hoo-yah!" Jan Di hit him on the arm.
"Let's play" Yi Jeong said with a charming smile.
Jun Pyo rolled his eyes.
After ten more minutes of complaints and rules, everyone was sitting across from each other.
The rules was very simple:
-One person ask anything to another, and if the other did not answer, they should remove a garment from their clothing.
Fortunately, since it was December, they carried warm clothes, but being under a tropical climate it was not so much.
"Ga Eul you start. Pick a person"
She took a deep breath, she didn't know why she had accepted that.
After scanning the presences with his gaze he finally spoke
"Jan Di" the aforementioned was startled and looked at her.
"Tell us something that you regret"
For a couple of seconds it was not known who was more interested in what Jan Di was going to say, Jun Pyo or Ji Hoo.
"What? But that's not a question" she complained
"Still valid," Jae Kyung replied, and everyone nodded.
Jan Di protested but then took a deep breath, to everyone's surprise, she took off her purple coat, staying in a light white sweater and black jumpsuit.
"I didn't expect that," Woo Bin commented, Ji Hoo seemed to speak with his eyes to his wife, but she was more focused on her turn.
"Jae Kyung, unnie. Who would you choose to be handcuffed for a week, Woo Bin or Jun Pyo?"
Woo Bin winked at him, while Jun Pyo clicked his tongue.
"You don't even have to ask" She said "Jun Pyo, obviously"
"What?!" they all said in unison. And is that the unpleasant relationship that both had was true.
"Yeah, because I want Woo Bin but not exactly with handcuffs" he winked back "Whereas, you said we should be handcuffed but not together. Can you imagine this mommy boy handcuffed to her closet?" Jae Kyung asked.
"Yah!" the aforementioned complained.
Everyone laughed at the man's childish reaction.
"Jun Pyo" Jae Kyung said again. "What's your Number?"
Woo Bin bit back a laugh, and Yi Jeong seemed to be thinking the same thing.
"What kind of question is that!" he said annoyed.
"Jun Pyo if you don't answer, you already know the rules" Ji Hoo pointed out.
Jun Pyo reluctantly took off his shoes. Which everyone considered unfair, but they kept playing.
About five more rounds, and the only one with all her clothes was Ga Eul, she ingeniously responded to everything. On the floor was Jan Di's coat, Woo Bin's coat, Jun Pyo's shoes and scarf, Yi Jeong's hat, scarf, and vest, Jae Kyung's coat, boots, and pants, and Ji Hoo's shirt, who for some reason was not wearing a sweater.
"Beautiful, Ga Eul" Woo Bin spoke when it was his turn again "If you had to give a French kiss to some F4 other than Yi Jeong who would it be?"
Yi Jeong frowned, and looked carefully at Ga Eu. His fiancee's cheeks turned pink. And Ga Eul wanted to answer it, of course she did, but she knew that her answer could cause some discomfort.
Giving up, she dropped a very loose blouse, since she was not wearing a coat either, remaining in a strappy dress that she wore under the blouse.
"You could have said it" Yi Jeong muttered "I'm not jealous type, and you know it" The young woman raised an eyebrow in disbelief.
They played other rounds more, laughed and joked, Jae Kyung, Woo Bin ended up completely in their underwear, Yi Jeong and Jun Pyo only kept their pants, Jan Di was lucky enough to wear a crop top over her bra, so she was wearing her crop top and jumpsuit.
Ga Eul had answered more questions, she was wearing her strappy dress intact.
After 12 am, they stopped playing and each said goodbye to go to their rooms, each one was picking up their clothes and putting them on loosely, Ga Eul was standing watching them when suddenly an unusual pain invaded the lower part of her abdomen, her face wrinkled in pain, Jan Di had noticed that.
"Are you okay Ga Eul?"
They all turned to see her instinctively.
"Yeah, I'm just-"
But a stronger stab made her bend over, Yi Jeong who was nearby grabbed her.
"Ga Eul-Yang"
Ji Hoo approached her so he could examine her, but he only needed to see the young woman's dress to lose the color in his face. That was wrong, there were still five more weeks before the baby was born...Well, and they were no longer necessary.
Patience is the most virtuous quality in a woman, Park Im Hyun was quite clear about it. As she applied base and contour to the rigid features of her face, she thought about everything that had happened for days, she was not surprised at all by the attitude of her ex-father-in-law, or what her ex-husband had also agreed to, she always wanted the best for her children, but what had each of them ended up in? her eldest son with a restaurant emporium across Europe could not be more careless with the whole family business, and also adding the fact that he had started to date with an ex of his younger brother.
So Yi Jeong. She sighed, and turned her gaze once more to the mirror. Her black hair was tied in a high bun, her face was immaculate, a couple of more age-related wrinkles, and the neglect of her overweight, but her appearance was not a priority either.
She smiled when her cellphone rang, the message displayed on the screen was enough to fill her completely.
-Everything is ready-
1:00 am on December 26, what a curious date ... Well, she was going to redeem the So family from the failure that her two sons, and the unhappy and traitorous ex-husband had caused.
"The service was quite good" The handsome man in front of her had said "What is your name?"
She had frowned, she was just a simple waitress, and she had forbidden to make contact with the clients.
"You don't have one?"
She hesitated.
"Chu Ga Eul"
When he smiled, Ga Eul could swear that she get lost in that smile.
"I hope to see you next time here, miss Chu Ga Eul"
…
A second date, Ga Eul had never imagined a second encounter with the millionaire Yi Jeong, but they spend a good time the last one, that for her was impossible to say him no. After a really nice walk around the park, they had stood up in front of a really beautiful lake.
"This is too cheesy even for me" He said laughing.
"Well, you were the one who brought me here"
"You're a special person, Ga Eul-yang"
And she felt nervous, they were one next to the other, their shoulders were touching. Something was happening to her heart every time she saw him or heard him.
"It's almost six, let's drive you home, I'm have something to do" Yi Jeong had commented. She nodded.
"Okay"
He grabbed her hand, but before going, he kissed the palm of her hand. Ga Eul blushed, however for a moment she felt frustrated, her legs were trembling. That had been all?
"What?" Yi Jeong questioned her
"Nothing" she replied quickly "I just thought that you were going to kiss-"
And he kissed her. His kiss was soft and deep, their lips were in perfectly sync. It was not Ga Eul's first kiss, she parted her lips, and let herself been led by Yi Jeong, until their tongues met and started a sweet battle.
…
That day after talking to Yi Jeong's grandfather he would not stop seeing her on the way back.
"You're good?" Ga Eul had asked.
He sighed and continued driving. Ga Eul had decided not to press him, and fixed her gaze towards the window, and see the sea that surrounded the area where Grandpa lived.
After a few seconds Yi Jeong cleared his throat.
"Thank you" he said. Ga Eul blinked.
Yi Jeong drove the car to the right and stopped.
"Thank you" he commented again.
"But-"
Yi Jeong took her hand and forced her to look into their eyes.
"I always believed that fame and money would make me happy, I come from a completely destroyed family, despite having all the money in the world. And you have not only made me reconcile with my grandfather, but you are also going to give me a family"
Ga Eul felt her heart beat strong, Yi Jeong had always been strong, and displayed a confident and seductive breastplate wherever he went, it was part of him. But there on his most vulnerable side she knew that she truly loved him.
…
One by one, memory after memory was hitting Ga Eul's dizzy mind, the pain did not stop. At the moment Ji Hoo said that something was wrong, they soon took her to the nearest clinic in the place.
The anesthesia was having its effect, while she was lying on the stretcher many memories came to her mind, perhaps her subconscious wished that she did not think too much.
Ga Eul was scared for her baby.
Doctors ran from one side to another, they were on her, they spoke of intervention, of interrupting. She was in a panic, and tried to move and could not, to think she was already getting difficult, until everything went black, her last thought was that she only wanted that baby to live regardless of whether she did or not.
Meanwhile the group of friends was in the emergency corridor, they did not know what to do or say, especially Ji Hoo and Jan Di, who being doctors, were the focus of the group in explaining what was happening.
Jan Di was very scared, and Ji Hoo couldn't find the exact words so as not to alarm Yi Jeong.
"Yo man. You're going to blow a hole in the floor. The doctors are going to take control, relax" Woo Bin approached young So, but he just shook him.
"For a long time I just thought about how this baby was ruining everything he knew. But now it's different, I don't want to lose it. It's ... it's my family" and collapsed on the ground. Jun Pyo who was standing next to him knelt down and took him by the shoulders.
"Ji Hoo is pertinent that you tell us what is happening" asked Jae Kyung from a corner.
"Yi Jeong, Ga Eul and baby will be fine, I'm going to get some tea for you"
They all watched as the young woman lost herself down the hall, and noticed her reddened eyes from crying.
Ji Hoo took a deep breath.
"I don't understand why this happened, but what has just happened is a placental abruption, it is an emergency for both of us. However, despite the remaining 5 weeks, the baby is healthy and formed, the chances of life are very high"
They said nothing more. Jun Pyo was making calls to somehow let Yi Jeong into the emergency room. That place was not Korea, it was French territory, the rules and laws in New Caledonia worked differently. They only had to wait in the throes of agony, because unfortunately for Christmas, there were few staff, but due to the same policies of the medical center, Ji Hoo was not allowed to assist the procedure with Ga Eul.
One hour and a half or maybe more. He wanted to scream, he wanted to cry, he wanted to finish breaking down, never in his entire life had he felt so vulnerable.
When the doctor with two nurses came out and approached it, he found the strength to stand next to Jan Di, Woo Bin, Ji Hoo, Jun Pyo and Jae Kyung also approached.
"Relatives of Chu Ga Eul?" the doctor asked, at this point it was good that everyone knew English since with fatigue and nerves there were words that Yi Jeong was not coordinating.
"We managed to stabilize the hemorrhage caused by the placental abruption. We had to do an emergency cesarean section" The doctor reported "The baby is in perfect condition, at birth earlier than expected she is in observations, it is necessary that we control her respiratory rhythm"
A relief for everyone, Yi Jeong felt a warmth in his heart, suddenly something hit his mind.
"What about Ga Eul?"
"She is out of danger. She remains unconscious, the loss of blood during the cesarean section, plus the internal hemorrhage caused great loss. Fortunately we were able to transfuse her with the blood bank reserves. It is a miracle that they are both alive."
"When can we see them?" Woo Bin asked
"In a few minutes they will be able to go two by two"
"Thank you doctor" Yi Jeong mouthed in saying.
The doctor nodded and left, they all looked at each other's faces and smiles were drawn on their faces, they began to embrace.
"Congrats man!" Woo Bin expressed.
"Wait ... You two never wanted to know the sex of the baby until it was born-" Jan Di started to say
"We made a bet" Woo Bin recalled.
Jun Pyo hit his arm
"What?"
"It's a good time to find out who won" Woo Bin continued.
Jan Di rolled her eyes.
"None of us here need money for that"
Ji Hoo smiled
"You still don't know us?" he put his arm around his wife's shoulder "F4 never gambles on money"
"Exactly. The winners will decide the name of the baby, that was the deal"
Yi Jeong frowned at what Prince Song said.
"My baby's name is not negotiable" Yi Jeong complained.
"You agreed. Now say predictions" Woo Bin ordered.
"Boy" Jae Kyung pointed out
"No, I'm sure it's a girl" Woo Bin commented. Jun Pyo really looked annoyed, that would not lead them anywhere.
"Boy" he said reluctantly.
"Boy" Ji Hoo muttered.
Jan Di denied, she couldn't believe she was lending herself to this.
"I think it's a girl" she finally said.
Everyone looked at Yi Jeong.
"I'm not going to say anything. This is up to you." He replied.
Ga Eul hated that those things would happen. It was already like the third time she woke up and realized that she was on a hospital gurney, with an intravenous line without knowing what was happening.
But her panic was greater when she realized that her baby was no longer with her.
She tried to get up but when she stirred, the person in front of her in a dozing chair also woke up.
Yi Jeong got up and walked over to her.
"You do not know how happy I am that you are back"
Ga Eul shook her head.
"How long has it been? And our baby? Is ... okay?"
Yi Jeong nodded
"You gave us a good scare. They had to perform an emergency cesarean section in New Caledonia. As soon as the baby was born, Jun Pyo did everything to move us back here to Seoul, and for the baby to receive treatment here. You were unconscious for more than 17 hours, of course you woke up for hours, but Ji Hoo applied some sedatives, in your state it was not correct that you were worrying."
Ga Eul blinked in disbelief, she thought she had now gained a new level of worthlessness, at one point she was in New Caledonia and then she woke up and was back in Seoul.
"Do you want to meet her?" Yi Jeong asked squeezing her hand.
She nodded very happy, then she widened her eyes.
"Her? You mean is a she? Did you said she?"
Yi Jeong smiled.
"Yes. She was born before the time, but she is perfectly healthy. Of course, she needs more attentions and care therefore, she will be here at least two more weeks"
She felt grateful for the simple fact that her baby was well. Then she felt bad for been unconscious, the poor baby girl must be hungry.
Suddenly Jan Di opened the door, she was agitated, and looked nervous.
"Ga Eul, you're awake" she said "Something bad had happened"
"What?"
"The baby-" but the words died in Ga Eul's mouth.
"Someone authorized took the baby"
"That is not possible" Yi Jeong exclaimed.
Ga Eul tried to stand up, but her condition was still weak.
"Hey, no. You can't stand!" Jan Di said.
"My baby has disappeared, of course I can"
"Ji Hoo and grandfather, with the police are taking care of this, this person can't be so far, and-"
But Yi Jeong had a clear idea of who was behind all of that.
"Please take care of Ga Eul, I'll go for my daughter"
And he ran out of the room.
"Where are you?" were the first three words he said when the other party answered the phone.
"Yi Jeong my darling, are those ways of talking to your mother?"
"I just want to talk to you" the cry of a baby was heard on the other side of the line and it was enough for him to lose the self-control he was reserving "I don't know how you did to circumvent the security of the clinic, where the hell are you? You can't take my daughter! "
The woman lulled the baby but the crying did not stop.
"I just want to fix what you, your brother and your father trashed. I offered you a plan, Yi Jeong, a plan for you to be happy with this beautiful little creature. And you didn't want it "
Yi Jeong was in his car, as soon as he left Ga Eul's room he ran into Woo Bin who already had all his men searching, while Ji Hoo processed pertinent complaints to the security officers of the clinic. For his part, he already knew that only his mother could have plotted something like this, he left as fast as he could to his car, and there he was trying to talk.
He connected the GPS to the transmitting call and his heart beat faster when he found the location.
"It is better and nothing happens to my daughter, otherwise I swear I will forget that you are my mother"
He stepped on the gas and started in the direction of the GPS. Although he didn't even need it, the address he dialed was one known to him, his old home in one of the most prestigious counties in Seoul, before going there he sent a message to Woo Bin with the address, he was going to need support.
When he arrived, he found his mother's car outside the huge house.
That house had been won by Im Hyun in the divorce trial, but Yi Jeong had gotten used to living with his father.
He did not need to continue walking as her mother was in the middle of the garden with the little baby wrapped in blankets in her arms.
"Yi Jeong!" she exclaimed in surprise.
"Mom, it is not healthy for her to be exposed to this environment, she still needs medical care. Give it to me" he tried to dialogue approaching her, but she backed off.
"Someone as careless as you doesn't deserve this baby. I will have it "she affirmed caressing the baby's face. "We will be a beautiful family. Family. Family"
She repeated and repeated, Yi Jeong was chilled by the tone of voice with which she spoke, years ago after the divorce she had been confined in a psychiatric hospital as a result of the bad life she lived with Yi Jeong's father, but had shown signs of recovery and had been rehabilitated and discharged. Now at that moment the fear of the young potter increased, he might well pounce and take the baby away, but his greatest fear was that his mother would do something and the baby would be hurt.
"Mom, we'll be a family." He tried to calm her down.
"You never valued this family" She said, and then lulled the baby "I sacrificed a lot to have her, I even had to make the food that Ga Eul consumed be altered so that she could be born"
Yi Jeong frowned.
"You what? Did you know we were going to New Caledonia? What did you do?"
"Oh, Madame Kang was so considerate, I arranged to transfer your shares of the So companies, which at that time were confiscated by your father, if she would help me to know where you were, and to get what was necessary to go unnoticed in the hospital and to bring me this little girl "
In that moment she went from crazy to unhinged.
"You are insane" Yi Jeong said with disgust "You almost killed my daughter, Ga Eul. My grandfather will never allow those actions to get out of his hands "
"Oh Yi Jeong there are many things you don't know"
At that moment they heard several cars park at the entrance. Im Hyun seemed to notice, Yi Jeong was nervous, Woo Bin got out of the cars together with his bodyguards, Ji Hoo and several doctors.
"Im Hyun, we're going to get you out of here so you can be happy with your baby" one of the doctors said.
She denied.
"I'm not stupid, you don't believe me" she replied. They got closer, and she held the baby closer.
"Of course. They don't understand the meaning of family, "another doctor said.
While this was happening one of them was already behind the woman and quickly injected a painkiller in the jugular, when she lost consciousness, the other one who was next to her rushed to hold the baby, and they passed it to Yi Jeong who sighed in relief , Woo Bin and Ji Hoo came up to them.
Ji Hoo was examining the baby, while Woo Bin escorted the medical team to take his friend's mother back to the mental hospital.
"She ... she was poisoning Ga Eul, even the food we had in New Caledonia, I don't know how, I don't even know if it's medically possible-" Yi Jeong tried to say
"Yeah, it's over. Everyone is fine, now there is someone who wants to meet this princess "
Yi Jeong frowned, "Don't tell me that-"
"You don't know my wife? Of course Ga Eul is with her in the back seat of one of the cars waiting for us, let's go "
They hurried towards the cars, Ga Eul was with Jan Di who was checking the IV connected to Ga Eul, however her face changed when she saw her baby. She couldn't believe everything that had happened. When the car door was opened, Ji Hoo handed her a pink bundle, Yi Jeong was also coming.
Ga Eul couldn't have been happier seeing every faction of her baby, playing with her fingers, everything about her was perfect. Many people say that when they are very young they don't look like anyone else but she could swear that that baby's lips and nose were identical to Yi Jeong's. Jan Di hated to interrupt such a moment, but she began to connect an oxygen mask and other things to the baby, she had been exposed to so many things in less than 48 hours of birth, and with 5 weeks less than it required. They needed to get her to an incubator as soon as possible. After all, the worst was over.
7 months later
The Yoon's house was a mess, Jan Di was running after a little girl who was crawling all over the floor of the house, damaging her impeccable white flower dress.
"Hey, Bo Hye!" she called but the baby found it fun to play with some records that Ji Hoo had arranged on the shelf in the living room.
At that moment Ji Hoo left his room adjusting his tie, he was wearing a full blue suit with a white tie, he frowned when he saw Jan Di trying to take the discs from the little baby. He smiled, his wife was wearing heels, ball gown, and yet he still had the will to bend down to the height of a baby and deal with her.
"Everything ok?" he asked.
Jan Di stood up with So Bo Hye in her arms.
"Of course, we don't want to be late for the wedding. Here" Jan Di said hastily, handing the baby to Ji Hoo, "It's your turn to take care of her. I need to get to Ga Eul and help her prepare" Jan Di approached him and kissed him on the lips and then walked towards the door.
"But what am I supposed to do with her? I also must go to Yi Jeong's place and the rest of the F4" The musician complained.
He did not understand why Jan Di offered to take care of the So baby, if she was also organizing the wedding. And the thing was that July 31st was Ga Eul and Yi Jeong's wedding, Jan Di had already arranged the little girl who would be in charge of wearing her parents' rings, but now in the hands of Ji Hoo she didn't know if she was going to go through with that outfit.
Jan Di walked to the door and smiled. Ji Hoo had to get used to it, after all he would also be a father in six more months, of course he still didn't know. Jan Di smiled and left the house, in ten days it would be their anniversary of one year of marriage, there she would tell him she had all the surprise ready. But right now the most important thing was the wedding of her two great friends.
"Come in now Jan Di, I can't wait here forever. My friend is also waiting for me" Jun Pyo complained from behind the wheel of his car. Jan Di rolled her eyes and entered.
As time went by, she and Jun Pyo had finally managed to rebuild their friendship, at first everything was quite strange, but they had returned to being the two friends they were before. Jan Di smiled, she had always thought that fate should be chased, but analyzing everything that had happened over the months, she only realized that the written things that had to happen were the best.
When she got to Ga Eul and saw her in her white dress. A princess cut dress, fitted to the hips, and with a V-neckline that highlighted the attributes of her friend, well built thanks to breastfeeding, it could only confirm her thoughts, since the best accessory that Ga Eul wore was her smile. Ga Eul was happy, after everything that had happened she was very happy.
After an hour of makeup, talk and nerves. She was finally ready, Jan Di adjusted something more in Ga Eul's hairstyle, and looked into her eyes.
"Ready?"
"I'm ready" she confirmed "Where's my Bo Hye?"
Jan Di smiled "Her uncle Ji Hoo needs more practice"
Ga Eul opened her eyes
"Are you preg-"
"Shh" Jan Di made a sign to her "Let's enjoy your moment, and let's go, your dad is already waiting for us in the car to go to church, and Mr. So must already be eager to see you"
Ga Eul and Yi Jeong's wedding celebration, unlike hers, was not in the open air but in a beautiful hall, it seemed like something out of a princess story. And so, observing how her friend enjoyed the second best day of her life, next to her now husband and little Bo Hye, Jan Di could confirm that fate did work in different ways.
When she felt Ji Hoo's arms around his waist she smiled.
Fate had decided to unite Jan Di and Ji Hoo by chance and external reasons, and they were very happy, it had cost them, yes. But there they were. And then when seeing Ga Eul and Yi Jeong share a romantic kiss, Jan Di also understood that for others there was destiny by choice, the one that you raised and decided, bearing all the results of those decisions, and they were more than happy .
The thing was not chasing fate or destiny, but to create it.
