Hope you enjoy this chapter! [Please read A/N at the end.]
"Alright, we have a tie again. All of our pairs have the same score. Even though I was a bit hesitant that Yi Jung and Ga Eul will be out because Ga Eul guessed before the kiss, but since Yi Jung was able to still do his part as well, I will accept it. Now for the final stage of this party, the very last game that will determine all-"
"Yah, Ji Hoo I didn't put any other game on the cards, the lovers line up was the last one." Jun Pyo questioned with furrowed brows, which were responded by a soft smile from Ji Hoo.
"I came up with this. You all are so competitive and ended with a tie; it would be no fun if we ended it at that. Right?" Everyone nodded.
"So what's the next game?" Jae Kyung questioned.
"Sleep."
"WHAT?" The room echoed with the same word as it escaped every pairs' mouth.
"We have to sleep with each other? No way I-"
"You guys have wrong minds you know that. I didn't mean it like that, I am saying we should sleep for now, it is already very late, we can continue the final game tomorrow morning." Woo Bin was cut off by Ji Hoo and with his explanation, everyone agreed and got up and retreated to their rooms, without any word said to one another, on the other hand Ji Hoo stood in his spot carrying a smirk.
Knock, knock, knock
"Hello Jan Di and Ga Eul, sorry for disturbing you…"Ji Hoo stated as he placed a tray near the table lamp.
"Not at all Ji Hoo sunbae, what is this?" Jan Di questioned pointed to the tray with two glasses on it.
"Warm milk. I just thought after this tiring day, why not have a warm relaxing sleep?" Ji Ho responded as he looked at Jan Di and then Ga Eul and both agreed with a smile. Each girl takes a glass and drink down the milk.
"Where is Jae Kyung?" Ji Hoo questioned.
"In the bathroom. Wh-" Jan Di replied. Before Jan Di could ask more questions, Ji Hoo headed for the door.
"Okay. Have a good sleep. Be ready for tomorrow, it will be very challenging." Ji Hoo commanded as he headed out of the room and closed the door behind him. With the door closed and lights turned off Ga Eul and Jan Di drifted off to sleep.
Knock, knock, knock
"Come in." With that Ji Hoo pushed forth the door and witnessed Jun Pyo reading a book. Jun Pyo looked towards the figure who had come in, "what?"
"You can read?" Ji Hoo joked as he placed a tray near the table lamp.
"Yeah of course I can read! How do you think I am in my last year of high school?"
"Cause your family owns the school..." Ji Hoo mumbled as he stood up straight.
"What was that?" Jun Pyo questioned while throwing Ji Hoo death glares.
"Nothing. But why the certain interest all of a sudden?"
"Well Jan Di-"
"Okay stop. If Jan Di is involved then I understand. I don't have time to listen to your long full of cuteness story of how Jan Di got you to read a book." Ji Hoo replied making a X with his arms in front of his chest.
"Okay, sheesh, then don't ask. By the way what is with the glass of milk?"
"It is warm milk, to help you sleep well."
"Yah! You know I hate milk! I am not drinking that, I can sleep well without it." Jun Pyo opened his book and began reading again.
"Okay, I will give this back to Jan Di, she even took a sip from it saying it would grow your love and the milk will be much sweeter too, but since you don't want it, I will tell her-"
"No! I will drink it." Jun Pyo instantly grabbed the glass, so fast that some spilled onto the tray, and within seconds Jun Pyo had drank down the milk, and stumped the glass onto the tray.
"Now get some sleep. You don't want to disappoint Jan Di and lose tomorrow since you will be tired." Ji Hoo spoke as he headed out of the room and closed the door behind him. Jun Pyo placed the book in the drawer of his side table, and turned off his lights. Soon as he got into his sleeping position, he had slowly drifted off to sleep.
Knock, knock, knock
"Come in." With that Ji Hoo pushed forth the door and witnessed Yi Jung working on a bowl on the keen. Without any eye contact, Yi Jung spoke, "what is it?" Ji Hoo walked up to Yi Jung and pushed forth the tray with the glass of milk in Yi Jung's direction.
Yi Jung gave the glass a quick glance and then focused back on his piece. "What is that for?"
"It is warm milk. It will help you stay relaxed and help you sleep better tonight, because you need a great amount of sleep to be able to win tomorrow.
Still focusing on his piece Yi Jung replied, "no thanks. I don't need that; this is relaxing enough for me. I will be able sleep fine in a few."
With that Ji Hoo turned around carrying a smirk, "okay if you say so, I guess Ga Eul was right." Ji Hoo had only taken one step forward when he was stopped. "What did Ga Eul say?"
"Oh that I shouldn't give you any, because you weren't manly enough to drink it all. Then she told of a time when Jae Rim entered a contest for her and he had to drink 10 glasses of milk in 2 minutes, and Jae Rim actually did it only to make her happy and get her the prize. But of course you don't care about that. Okay I will be going then." Ji Hoo began to walk away towards the door.
"Wait!" Ji Hoo turned around with a curious look, "hmmm?"
"Give it to me." With a smile Ji Hoo walked up to Yi Jung and handed him the glass. Yi Jung wiped off his hands full of mud, onto his apron, then headed into the master bathroom and washed his hands with soap. As he dried his hands, he quickly took the glass with force as if it would disappear any moment and within seconds drank it down. Yi Jung stopped the wheel and let his piece stay as it was for now and went to bed. Ji Hoo turned off the lights and closed the door behind him as he left.
Ji Hoo slowly peeked through the slightly opened door of the great Song Woo Bin and as he expected, Woo Bin was fast asleep. Closing the door completely, Ji Hoo headed to check on his next target. Ji Hoo peeked through the girl's' door and saw Jan Di and Ga Eul had gone to sleep, shifting his view to the floor; he witnessed Jae Kyung fast asleep also. With a smile Ji Hoo closed the door and headed for his room. Luckily for him he didn't have to make anymore milk, the rest were covered and as for Woo Bin and Jae Kyung, once they sleep, even an earthquake that was occurring right where they were sleeping, wouldn't be able to wake them up.
Ji Hoo took a deep sigh as he closed the door to his room and slumped onto his bed. "Helping your friends is a hard job." Ji Hoo spoke out, as two arms enveloped around his chest, giving him a back hug.
"You are the kindest man alive to be doing all this for your friends." The person laid her head on Ji Hoo's shoulder as she spoke.
Ji Hoo placed his hands over her hands and smiled, "well when they want to be this stubborn, what am I supposed to do? Watch them suffer? You taught me to never watch from afar, instead help out as much as possible. Right Seo Hyeon?" Hearing her name Seo Hyeon smiled.
"Yes Ji Hoo, and you have never failed to disappoint me for following what I have taught you." Ji Hoo turned around to face Seo Hyeon and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
"Because I love you too much." With that Ji Hoo moved down and kissed Seo Hyeon's eyes.
"Because to me you are my entire world." With that Ji Hoo moved lower and captured her lips. Both were lip locked in a passionate kiss, nether of them wanted to let go, both moaned from the pleasure they received from this very kiss. The two were forced to break the kiss, as the need for air had become an issue. Ji Hoo looked into Seo Hyeon's eyes as she was breathing fast. Ji Hoo was able to regain his breath to a normal speed, but watching Seo Hyeon in front of him continued to make his heart beat in frenzy. Ji Hoo grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him, her head landing on his chest as he enclosed his arms around her shoulder.
"I am a very lucky man to have you as my partner."
"I am a very lucky girl to have such a great husband." Seo Hyeon smiled as she rose up her left hand in front of her face and looked at the ring that hugged her ring finger.
"I think we owe it all to France's prime minister who was going to marry you." Ji Hoo recalled.
"Yes, after he realized that you had come all the way from South Korea to see me and get me back, he was willing to still help my family financially and he got us married in secret so no one could break us apart." Seo Hyeon expanded the moment.
"Ah...yes. He first faked the marriage with you, for the media to show as real, but only for a while to be able to get your family the money he promised to help your family. Then he got me and you married in secret and in the end he divorced you after all was taken care of and you were able to come back with me."
"He definitely was a great man." Seo Hyeon commented causing Ji Hoo to sadden. Seo Hyeon felt Ji Hoo loosen his arms around her and she understood why. Seo Hyeon looked up to Ji Hoo and leaned up and placed a peck on Ji Hoo's cheek and lay back against his chest.
"But no one would ever compare to my Ji Hoo." Ji Hoo smiled silently but Seo Hyeon was able to sense his smile without any contact. They decide to stay in the position for a while.
"Do you think our plan will work?" Seo Hyeon questioned.
"Who knows? Knowing Jan Di and Jun Pyo it won't be hard, but Jan Di needs to understand Jun Pyo's love a bit more. As for Woo Bin and Jae Kyung, old memories and explanations will bring them together. I am worried about Yi Jung and Ga Eul…" Ji Hoo replied.
"Why?"
"Well they just don't seem to want to do anything with each other. Yi Jung is being way to stubborn and it hurts to watch Ga Eul hurt and in tears, and if that continues she will never accept Yi Jung. Then we have Jae Rim, who I don't understand what he is trying to do." Ji Hoo furrowed his brow as he tried to understand the situation and its result while replying to Seo Hyeon.
"I trust you. You are doing this for your friends. Everything will be as we have imagined and how they are destined to be. By the way, can I ask you something?"
"Mhmm?"
"Why are you trying to get Yi Jung and Ga Eul together? I understand the others, but Yi Jung and Ga Eul are so different. Yet you are mainly doing all this to get them together. Even though they are married already. Then why the effort still?" Seo Hyeon questioned which was responded with Ji Hoo placing a kiss on her head.
"Let's just say I owe both of them a favor." Ji Hoo relied with a smile as he recalled what Ga Eul and Yi Jung did for him, which they both have forgotten it having it be a long time ago, but it will always be embedded into his mind, because that moment means everything to him.
A/N: So I will leave it at that, I would like to know what you guys think. I want to hear from everyone what they think Ji Hoo is up to or what will happen next? I know I have some silent readers out there, but please this is even to those silent readers, I would like to know what you think. Without any comments or reviews I find it pointless to even write or continue this story, if no one is willing to leave me a [even if a small] comment or review for my story. Please leave me comment or reviews; it motivates me to continue my writing, knowing how I am doing. Thank you in advance. :)
