Hey guys! So, I must admit that I am having a ball writing this story. It is nice to give someone to Ji Hoo that won't break his heart lol. Anyway, I hope you all are enjoying my version of Yoon Ji Hoo's happily ever after. And because I know she is a crowd favorite, I plan of giving you lots of So In Ha too. Let me know what you all think!

"And I's eat it all, Unca Hoo!"

Ji Hoo smiled down at the computer screen where little So In Ha beamed through at him. "Mama let you have that much sugar?"

"Papa issed her so she ouldn't ee." In Ha exclaimed with a burst of laughter as Yi Jeong quickly tickled the side of her ribs. His proud face smiling down at his little girl sitting on his lap. "Tattletale."

In Ha blew a kiss to him. "Ove you! I's go play now Unca Hoo." She wiggled down and he heard the loud clomping of her feet as she ran back to her games.

"She has gotten so big," Ji Hoo said wistfully to his best friend who was currently living in Sweden with his family. And although In Ha had only been gone for three months, it had felt like an eternity to her F4 godfathers.

"I know." Yi Jeong shook his head, a tiny smile on his lips. "She went down the big-girl slide all by herself the other day. She was fine but it about killed me watching her climb the stairs to the top alone."

Ji Hoo laughed and knowing Yi Jeong's overprotective father instincts, he could only imagine the man's face over allowing In Ha run off by herself. Yi Jeong leaned back from the computer screen; his head turning in confusion to their living room. "In Ha, what are you doing?"

"Playing with bear," came her muffled reply and Yi Jeong nodded slowly. "But why is your bear—"

Ji Hoo couldn't hear the rest of In Ha's explanation over whatever she was doing but a mixture of humor and bewilderment passed over Yi Jeong's face. "All right baby. Just maybe… you know what, never mind."

Ji Hoo laughed in bemusement. "What is she doing?"

"Duck-taping her bear's mouth." Yi Jeong chuckled as he watched In Ha wrap up her precious bear arms behind his back. "Fairly well actually… Remind me to talk to Woo Bin about him teaching my daughter valuable 'life skills' when we come home next week for Jun Pyo's hospital opening."

Ji Hoo nodded, "Are you guys flying in on Friday?"

"Yeah. We are staying for the event but then will fly right back to Sweden." Yi Jeong grimaced apologetically. "If we stay any longer my grandfather will probably find some way of booking me into a show."

Ji Hoo nodded, knowing that the whole reason Yi Jeong had taken his family for an extended vacation in Sweden was because of how hard his grandfather had been working him this past year. He also felt the need to get far enough away from his influence in order to spend quality time with his girls. Plus, after an attempted kidnapping on In Ha by someone from Ga Eul's past, Yi Jeong decided they all needed some distance to recover from the scare.

"How is Ga Eul?"

Yi Jeong's expression brightened at the mention of his beloved wife. "She's doing well. She is developing a new tea based on… something." He finished with a laugh. "It was too technical for me but it tasted amazing."

Ji Hoo grinned. Ga Eul had been playing around with developing teas for a while. She took a random class on it one day and fell absolutely in love with the creative process. Sometimes when he would pop into their home, the kitchen would look like a science lab as she worked on a new blend. While In Ha watched with big eyes as her mama explained the process to her like she was a student instead of a two-year-old baby.

"I can't wait to try it." Ji Hoo told him and one would have to be blind not to see the proud gleam on Yi Jeong's face.

"Speaking of which," Yi Jeong looked at his watch. "She should be home from the store any minute…. Do you want to wait and say hi?"

"I would," Ji Hoo sighed regretfully. "But I have to close up the clinic and then meet Woo Bin for dinner."

"Okay. In Ha," Yi Jeong called. "Come say goodbye to Uncle Ji Hoo."

His goddaughter came running back to the computer and Ji Hoo laughed as she pressed her lips to the screen creating a large smudge. "Bye Unca Hoo!"

"Bye, princess. I miss you."

"iss you too!"

Yi Jeong ran a hand over the top of her head with a smile. "Go pick up your toys, baby. It's time for your bath."

"Kay… Do I have to unape bear?"

"Yes." Yi Jeong laughed. "You should probably take the tape off your bear before bed."

In Ha looked disappointed but agreed. She gave another wave to Ji Hoo and he watched her little legs kick in the air as her Papa swirled her around with a low roar. She hooked her arms around her father's neck and gave him a loud smacking kiss on the cheek.

"Ove you, Papa!"

"I love my So In Ha," Yi Jeong told her seriously with a return kiss to the top of her head. They said their final good-byes to Ji Hoo before hanging up and at the sudden quiet, he felt a wave of sadness wash over him. While he understood why Yi Jeong felt the need to protect his family by staying in Sweden a little longer, Ji Hoo deeply missed them. He decided to take a few weeks off in the coming months so he could fly over and visit them properly.

"Yo!"

Ji Hoo jumped slightly at the loud booming voice of Woo Bin breaking up his melancholy thoughts

"Geez, a little warning next time." Ji Hoo instructed with a laugh. "Or are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

"I knocked but you didn't answer."

"I was saying goodnight to In Ha."

"What?" Woo Bin demanded with a glare to the computer. "You were talking to my girl without me?"

"Mm-hmm." Ji Hoo stood up and grabbed his coat. "And Yi Jeong wanted me to ask you if there was any particular reason why In Ha suddenly knows how to duck-tape her stuffed animals?"

Woo Bin grinned with a shrug. "We had a very valuable demonstration on my visit last month. Although, my example was more on how to get out of being taped."

Ji Hoo gaped at him. "She's two, Woo Bin."

"So?" Woo Bin looked truly perplexed on what her age had to do with this conversation and Ji Hoo decided it would be pointless to persuade him that two-year old's normally did not need to know how properly kidnap their bears.

"Never mind."

"I'm hungry." Woo Bin told him as they walked to his car. "Where do you feel like eating?"

"Anywhere is fine with me," Ji Hoo answered with a deep yawn. "So long as there is coffee at some point."

"You need to sleep." Woo Bin told him worriedly as he pulled out into traffic. "Not drink more coffee."

"I have a few more hours to put in at the clinic filing some paperwork. Then Jan Di agreed to work for me tomorrow so I could get some rest." Ji Hoo said gratefully. It had been difficult being the only doctor on call at the clinic while his grandfather recovered from his illness. And he was honestly struggling with the idea of letting him return at all since his health had been becoming weaker lately.

"I am going to see about adding another doctor on," Ji Hoo admitted sadly. "I think it's time for Grandfather to officially step down."

Woo Bin looked sideways at him; concern etched on his face but thankfully he didn't say anything. Worry over the decline of Yoon Seok Young had been weighing heavily on him. But every time he brought up it to his grandfather, he simply brushed it aside.

"I don't want him working. I want him fishing and enjoying whatever time he has left." Ji Hoo finished and Woo Bin nodded with a sigh.

They were quiet for a while before Woo Bin dipped his head to the glove compartment. "I found out a few things about the girl you trampled."

"Already," Ji Hoo raised his eyebrow impressed. "That was fast. Even by your standards."

"I know. Sometimes I even amaze myself."

"Punk."

He pulled out the file Woo Bin had collected and scanned the picture of the woman he had accidentally run over the other day. "Lucy McCourt from San Francisco. Born July Tenth to Elizabeth and Michael McCourt. She is a twenty-four student at Seoul University and... assistant teacher?"

Woo Bin nodded. "She is studying Asian History here. To complete her masters or something. But apparently, her scholarship is dependent on her also teaching English."

"Huh," Ji Woo went back to reading. "This says she was an only child, but in my office she mentioned two brothers and Korean parents?"

"From what my men could gather, she was adopted when she was around seven or eight by Kim Hyun Lee and Choi Seo Won They have two older sons." Woo Bin shrugged at the obvious question. "I couldn't find out why she was adopted though. None of her records mention her parents passing away or anything."

This made Ji Hoo frown but didn't comment. He looked through everything Woo Bin had managed to find but nothing really stood out as worrisome. Feeling an odd sense of relief, he put the paper back inside the envelope.

"Thanks." He briefly wondered about something else but ultimately decided not to ask. Not wanting to give his friend any ideas. "I guess that takes care of everything."

"Mm-hmm." Woo Bin shot him a tiny smirk. "She's also single."

"Did I ask?"

"You wanted too."

Ji Hoo rolled his eyes which only made Woo Bin's grin widened. "Do you want me—"

"No."

"Come on—"

"No, Woo Bin." Ji Hoo said firmly. "I'm not interested in dating anyone right now. Let alone some American tourist."

"I know." His friend looked so arrogantly pleased that Ji Hoo felt the urge to smack him. "I felt the same way when I met Myeon Gi." He pulled up along the curb and clasped his shoulder. "Which is usually when we meet our women. Right when we need them the most."

"I am officially done with this conversation." Ji Hoo told him sharply. "The only woman I need in my life is In Ha."

"I will fight you for her."

He started to laugh but his expression faded to slight confusion when he realized Woo Bin had brought them to their favorite coffee shop instead of a restaurant.

"I thought you were hungry."

"I am but unless I want my date asleep in the soup, I better get you a coffee first."

"So generous of you. Does Park Myeon Gi know about your soft side?" Ji Hoo poked good-naturedly as Woo Bin ordered their usual drinks.

"Ha-ha. You think you're funny."

"I also think I'm cute," Ji Hoo replied with a shrug, remembering a certain patient's fading words.

"You're definitely not cute."

So I've been told." He remarked with a low laugh, his gaze sweeping casually around the room while they waited for their order. "Wait a minute..." Ji Hoo narrowed his eyes as he spotted a certain young woman sitting alone at a corner table. "Did you plan this?"

"What?" Woo Bin turned and could barely stop himself from bursting into hysterical laughter. "No, but what are the chances?"

"Low," Ji Hoo snapped angrily. "Very low."

"I swear." Woo Bin held up his hands in surrender. "I had nothing to do with this."

"Great." Ji Hoo quickly took the cup. "So let's go."

"Oh come on," Woo Bin grabbed his arm before he could flee. "Don't be rude. Besides," he tilted his head to the group of men who were laughing at the table behind her. "They look like they are having some fun at her expense."

Ji Hoo inwardly debated with himself but at another low snicker coming from the group, his conscience got the better of him. "Damn it."

He stalked towards the table and Woo Bin grinned in delight at the anger and struggle emanating from his more level-headed friend.

"Lord, I wish Yi Jeong and Jun Pyo were here to see this."

When they approached they realized the gentlemen were making loud inappropriate comments about the woman currently studying. No doubt believing she was incapable of understanding them. But when Woo Bin and Ji Hoo unexpectedly materialized next to them with deadly stares they instantly went quiet.

Lucy looked up in surprise at the sight of someone approaching her table, her eyes widening as she recognized Ji Hoo. She opened her mouth but he quickly put his finger to his lips and gestured behind him to where Woo Bin was leaning over and saying something privately to the group.

Whatever it was must have done the trick since they all hurriedly rose and scurried from the shop with frightened glances back to the imposing man who was staring them down.

"Well, hi." Lucy gave a bewildered laugh and used her pencil to point down the street where the men had just fled. "Thanks but you didn't have to do that."

"They were—" Ji Hoo began hotly but she cut him off with a wave. "Yes, I know. It happens so I've learned to tune them out."

"You shouldn't have to put up that." Woo Bin said with a touch of concern and she smiled at his gentleness. "I usually bid them good night or something right before I leave and their faces are worth it when they realized I can understand them."

Woo Bin grinned back at her while Ji Hoo only continued to scowl, feeling annoyed about the whole scenario. Woo Bin cleared his throat as the silence went on a touch too long and gave him harsh nudge. He turned with a glare and Woo Bin narrowed his eyes threateningly but Ji Hoo simply ignored him.

"We will leave you alone then."

"Oh…" Lucy blinked at the abrupt dismissal. "All right. Well… it was nice to see you."

He made a noise of agreement before leaving angrily. Not quite sure why he was so bothered by running into her. He heard Woo Bin mutter a quick apology before following him outside, but when he tried to open the car door, Ji Hoo felt a hard blow to the back of his head.

"Ow! What was that for?"

"What is the matter with you?" Woo Bin snapped. "Why were you so rude?"

"I wasn't—"

"You were worse than Gu Jun Pyo." Woo Bin told him. His voice revealing his disappointment. "It wasn't her fault those men were being jerks."

"Did I say it was?"

"You implied it." Woo Bin pointed to the coffee shop. "Go apologize or I will have to kick your ass out of principle."

"If this your attempt to fix me up," Ji Hoo snarled but Woo Bin gave him such a glare that it made the words jam in his throat. "I don't care if you date a cactus right now. This is about you being rude to a young woman who is here alone and is being forced to put up with a ton of crap from people who think she can't understand them. So get off your high horse and go apologize."

Knowing that it was pointless to argue with Woo Bin when he was in protective mode, Ji Hoo growled under his breath before heading back into the shop. He saw Lucy looking out the window with a thoughtful expression and some of his irritation melted away. So he might have been a little rude.

Ji Hoo quietly sat down across from her again and seeing her slightly apprehensive stare, he immediately felt guilty for his earlier actions. He told himself it was because he had been caught off guard over seeing her so unexpectedly rather than her dismissal over allowing people to talk badly behind her back.

"So… I am a jerk." Ji Hoo told her with an apologetic smile. "One who has not had enough sleep which apparently makes me cranky."

"I hear coffee helps with that." She held up her own cup but thankfully didn't seem upset. "But you don't have to apologize. You weren't the ones being rude." Lucy shrugged easily. "Actually it doesn't happen very often. Most people have been incredibly kind and friendly to me. It only happens every now and then. I used to snap back when I first arrived but now I've learned that it's easier to ignore them."

"Still," Ji Hoo shook his head. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Lucy assured him. She gestured to her books scattered over the table. "I should probably get back to studying though."

He stood up to leave but paused in concern as he remembered her injuries. "How's your head?"

"My head?" She looked confused for a moment before letting out an embarrassed chuckle. "Oh. Fine. It doesn't even hurt now."

"And your ankle?"

She flushed slightly and he could have sworn she moved to hide her feet under the chair. He rose his eyebrow suspiciously and returned slowly to the table. "Well?"

"It's fine." She said a little too brightly and he tilted his head assessing her carefully. "You're a terrible liar. Did you know that?"

"Yes." Lucy deflated in her seat. "But couldn't you pretend to believe me?"

"Fine." Ji Hoo gestured impatiently. "Now let me see your ankle."

"No," Lucy told him stubbornly. "You will just go all concerned doctor and I am fine."

"Why don't let me be the judge of that." Ji Hoo snapped feeling some his earlier irritation return. "Foot. Now."

"Oh for heaven's sake."

She turned in deep annoyance and held out her legs. For a long moment he just stared in shock at the mess of her ankle before exhaling a vicious stream of curse words. Her foot was so bruised that it had turned black and was currently swollen to the point where it looked like her shoe was about to explode.

"Are you crazy!" Ji Hoo growled in disbelief as he squatted down on his haunches to get a better look at it. "You can't possibly be able to walk."

"Okay, so it hurts," Lucy snapped defensively and flushed as people began to turn and stare at them. "But it's just a sprain. You said so yourself—"

"Well, I never said I was good at my job," Ji Hoo bellowed and she yelped in shock as he suddenly swung her up into his arms.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"What do you think," he said incredulously. "I'm taking you to the hospital. You obviously need an X-ray."

"But," Lucy squirmed trying to break free but he only adjusted his grip as they walked outside while everyone stopped to stare at the spectacle. "Put me down! My stuff--"

"Woo Bin," Ji Hoo called casually to his friend who was watching with wide eyes from the car where he had been patiently waiting. "Would you mind running inside and grabbing Miss McCourt's bag?"

"Ji Hoo, what are you—"

"Tell him to put me down." Lucy screeched but Ji Hoo hushed her with an impatient snap. "Also can you open the door for me?"

"I said apologize," Woo Bin told him hastily as he opened the passenger door. "Not kidnap her."

"Look at her ankle."

"What?" He swirled his head to the young woman's foot and cursed loudly. "What happened?"

"He ran me over!" Lucy told him furiously as Ji Hoo lowered her into the car. "That's what happened."

"Again?"

"No. It's from the first time." Ji Hoo said calmly. "Don't forget her bag."

"Oh sure."

"There are laws against kidnapping, you know." Lucy barked but he simply ignored her, rummaging in the backseat for his medical bag. "Report me tomorrow. Once I get your ankle taken care of."

She folded her arms, grumbling curse words in English which made him grin. "I can understand you."

"Good!"

Woo Bin returned with her backpack and seeing the red face of the girl currently cussing out Ji Hoo in both English and Korean, he folded his arms with open amusement.

"Do you guys need a minute?"

"No," Ji Hoo shut the door even as Lucy continued to snarl at him. "We're fine."

"I can see that." Woo Bin moved to the driver's side. "Where am I going?"

"The hospital." Ji Hoo said firmly. "She needs an X-ray."

"I suspect you will also need one before the night is over."

"What? Why?"

"Because the way her fist is balled in her lap, I believe she is going to try and break your nose the minute you attempt to pick her up again." Woo Bin said smugly. "And I have a feeling her punch will hurt."

"Huh," Ji Hoo turned and seeing the fist waiting for him, he shot Woo Bin a wink. "Thanks for the warning."

The warning did turn out to be useful because the moment Woo Bin parked and Ji Hoo went to grab her, Lucy swung a hard-accurate fist straight for his nose. In fact, she was so quick he only barely avoided getting hit which made Woo Bin howl in delighted laughter. Especially once Ji Hoo and Lucy began yelling at each other in a mixture of two different languages. Finally, Woo Bin couldn't resist any longer and began videotaping the whole scene on his phone in order to prove his night to Yi Jeong and Gu Jun Pyo.

However, things calmed down by the time they arrived in an exam room. The pain becoming evident by her low whimpers as Ji Hoo felt along the bruised flesh. Then when he attempted to take off her shoe, Lucy immediately went gray and pleaded for him to stop. Ji Hoo released her shoe and looked up to Woo Bin somberly.

"I am going to have cut it off."

"No," Lucy protested earnestly. "These are my only pair."

Ji Hoo opened his mouth to reply he couldn't care less about it being her only pair. He would buy her a dozen more if it meant she stopped being such a stubborn piece of work but Woo Bin who was more familiar with someone's pride about accepting help because of his relationship with Park Myeon Gi knew that Lucy would walk out of the hospital crippled before she gave in.

Catching his friend's subtle warning from behind her back, Ji Hoo finally nodded in defeat. "I might be able to slide it off then but it's going to hurt."

"That's okay," Lucy breathed, closing her eyes in preparation. "Just do it quickly."

He signaled for Woo Bin to steady her and with one quick sharp yank, he slid the sneaker off her swollen foot. She screamed low in her throat and Woo Bin gripped her shoulders, gently instructing her to breathe.

"It's okay," Woo Bin murmured and his eyes widened as he noted how bad her ankle looked now that it was free of the confines of her laces. "Damn… Ji Hoo, that looks—"

"I know," Ji Hoo said with a wince. He lifted it onto his leg where he pressed slowly along the bone, giving her a scowl. "What did you do? Walk to China and back? You can't put that much extended weight on a sprained ankle, you pabo."

"I didn't—" Lucy hissed and involuntarily clutched the side of the table. "I had no choice. All my classes are spread out. Plus, I am a waitress. Long hours on my feet."

Ji Hoo mumbled something that she couldn't make out but whatever it was made his friend laugh as he patted her arm. "I will get you some water."

"Thanks."

It fell quiet as they were left alone. Ji Hoo was working on retrieving a wheelchair to take her down for X-Rays when she spoke up tentatively. "I'm sorry I yelled at you."

"It's okay," Ji Hoo assured her and dipped his head to her ankle. "I would probably yell at the guy who did this to me too."

She shook her head firmly. "No, this wasn't your fault. Running into me was just an accident."

She leaned forward and the pain made her dizzy to the point where she about slid off the bed. Ji Hoo rushed over to her side and steadied her. Noticing she was on the verge of passing out, he cupped her face and spoke firmly. "Lucy… Lucy, look at me."

She blinked slowly at the command; her green eyes slightly glazed. "What did you say?"

"I said look at me," Ji Hoo repeated in English, knowing her mind was probably too tired to follow a foreign language right now. "You're all-right. I promise."

Lucy started to nod but as another wave of pain floated over, she gave a low cry and he pressed his forehead against hers until it passed. "Count to ten."

She slowly counted out-loud and felt comforted by the familiar pattern of numbers. Once she finished, she opened her eyes. "I lied earlier," Lucy confessed sluggishly and he frowned in confusion. "About what?"

"My head still hurts a little."

"What, Lucy..." Ji Hoo pinched the bridge of his nose with a steadying breath. "How bad?"

"Not bad. Just a minor headache." She felt bad over the omission but it seemed silly to mention it when her ankle had been the main source of pain. However, she also wondered if the knot on the back of her head might not be contributing.

"Are you always so stubborn about things?"

"Just about being sick or injured…" Lucy admitted weakly. "I don't like hospitals. They make me nervous so I tend to ignore any problems."

His lips twitched and she hurried on apologetically. "If it makes you feel any better, it drives my mother crazy and you're not the first one to drag me to the doctor. Although, it is usually one of my brothers who are a lot less gentle about it than you were."

"I'm glad to hear it." Ji Hoo remarked and opened the door for the nurse with a low thanks for the wheelchair. "And do you try to punch them too?"

"Yes." Lucy slowly lowered herself down into the seat. "But I don't miss when I go for their nose."

"I'm flattered."

He instructed the nurse to take her down with strict orders to quickly report the results. Woo Bin returned right as they rolled her away and he squeezed her hand assuredly as he passed.

"Poor thing. Her ankle looks bad."

"I know," Ji Hoo shook his head in disgust. "I should have x-rayed it before she left the other day. I am going to kick myself if she's been walking around on a broken ankle for two days with no boot or crutches."

"I don't think it's broken," Woo Bin said thoughtfully, having a strong familiarity with injuries from the years of martial art training. "She would have passed out from the pain a long time ago if it was truly broken or dislocated. I think it's just a bad sprain which she's aggravated by not staying off her feet."

"I hope so," Ji Hoo trailed off as his phone suddenly dinged with incoming messages. He frowned as he saw the explosion of texts from both Yi Jeong and Gu Jun Pyo who were howling in laughter and demanding to know who the girl was...

Confused he pulled up the video and his eyes widened in alarm as he saw himself carrying Lucy McCourt down the hall where he was ducking punches all while yelling at her in English which he didn't even remember switching over to. She responded by calling him colorful names in both lanuages and attempting to hit him on the head with her purse.

"YAH!" Ji Hoo yelled in fury. "You took a video?!"

"Of course I did," Woo Bin made a face as he took long sip of hospital coffee. "Augh, can't you guys ever make a decent cup of anything? Seriously… this is disgusting."

"I'm going to kill you," Ji Hoo growled as he furiously ignored the other two members' incoming calls. "I am telling Park Myeon Gi about the time you got drunk and thought you were a ninja turtle."

Woo Bin narrowed his eyes. "You wouldn't dare."

"Try me," Ji Hoo hissed but before he could follow through on his threat the nurse from admissions interrupted them to mention she was having a hard time reaching Lucy's roommate.

"Is there anyone else we can try?"

"No. She only mentioned her roommate as a contact." Nurse Kang told him in concern. "I've tried multiple times but only keep getting her voice mail."

"Thanks, Nurse Kang." Ji Hoo said wearily and shook his head in disbelief over the direction of his night. "Damn it."

"What are you going to do?" Woo Bin asked worriedly. "She can't go home by herself with her ankle like that… Not to mention if she has a concussion after all."

"I know," Ji Hoo scrubbed her face with a groan. "Looks like she is going home with me."
