Jun Hee sat on the bed beside her brother who was fast asleep, in his sleep he was tossing and calling for Jan Di. She felt so sad for her brother. She stroke his hair for a while which seemed to calm Jun pyo down and went back to sleep.
It was quite difficult for her to bring him here and get him to bed by herself. So thanks to Secretary Jung that he had helped her.
She thought for a while what happened in these few days. These few days were so tiresome for her. Though she didn't do anything but her cruel mother's deeds made her too tired. Even when she worked all day she never got this much tired. She exhaled loudly and took a last glance at her brother. Then she went to the next room to get some sleep herself.
Jan Di was pressing herself tightly against Ji Hoo's bare chest. While kissing him she ran her hands all over his body. His body quivered under her touch. He was having a hard time when Jan Di was doing this to him. Her soft body was pressed up against him, which was driving him out of control.
His hands were around her waist. He ran his hands along her hands and back. He massaged in some places. Jan Di shivered and seemed to enjoy that immensely. So he kept doing so. He was almost shirtless but he still felt so hot as if his skin was burning everywhere she touched and kissed.
When Jan Di bit his ear, he just lost it. He started to run his hands across her stomach and moved upwards. When they were just below her bosoms he heard her saying, "I won't let you marry her, I won't let you leave me, Gu Jun Pyo. Please don't leave me, please…"
Those words of her shuttered Ji Hoo's beautiful dream. He felt like someone had thrown ice cold water at his face. His hands frozen at the spot and he lied down there like a paralysed person on the bed. A lone tear ran down his cheek. Jan Di was still kissing his chest but he couldn't feel anything anymore as if she had just cut off his sensory nerves with her words. His hands fell down on the bed on both side of him.
He said, "Stop it."
But Jan Di didn't stop as she was not in her right mind. Ji Hoo again said, "Stop it, Jan Di."
She just looked at him with confusion and lowered her face near his to kiss him. When her face was near his and when she was just about to touch his lips with her rosy ones Ji hoo pushed her down from above his stomach and sat up saying, "Stop it!" in a loud voice.
Jan Di blinked her eyes rapidly trying to understand what's going on there. She saw that Ji Hoo was sitting in front of her with his shirt front open. She could see his chest fully. Her cheeks warmed up. She tentatively looked up and found Ji Hoo's sullen face and then her eyes went wide. She gasped and covered her mouth with her hand as realization hit her.
Ji Hoo was looking at her deeply without even blinking. Jan Di was so scared. 'What have I done?!' Her eyes were rapidly filling with tears. She mumbled, "Sunbae…" Her lips trembled.
Ji Hoo chuckled but it wasn't the chuckle that Jan Di loved so much. It was full of pain which broke her heart. When he stopped he said, "You are really cruel, Jan Di-yah. Thinking of me as Gu Jun Pyo…., you deed this to me, huh?"
Jan Di felt ashamed at her behavior and also felt extremely horrible that she had done something like this to none other than her Ji Hoo sunbae who had always supported her unconditionally. How could she have done something like that to a generous person like him?
She looked down as she felt that she couldn't face him at that moment but she needed to apologize. So looking down she said, "Sunbae, I-"
Interrupting her Ji Hoo said, "Hold on, Jan Di-yah. Listen to me very carefully. I know this is not the time and place and the situation is not suitable either. And I know it better than anyone else but I need to tell you this." He stopped.
Jan Di looked up and kept staring at him. He seemed to debating inside whether to tell her or not. But then he seemed to come to a decision.
He took her smaller hands in his larger ones and squeezed them. He took a deep breath and looked at her with a serious face. "I love you. I have been in love with you from the time when I first met you. I didn't realize my feelings for you before and when I did that was too late. I've always loved you and that's why I stayed by your side as a friend and supported you always."
He swallowed as he felt that his throat was constricting. "I always tried my best for you so that you can be happy. Every time you had a fight with Gu Jun Pyo, I have always given you my advice and sent you back to Gu Jun Pyo holding my feeble heart to myself. Even today if I could…"
He closed his eyes and continued, "… if I had the power, I would have stopped the marriage but I was powerless there today."
He opened his eyes and looked at her straight in the eyes. "I know you still love Jun Pyo. There is no place for me in your heart but today I am confessing to you because I just want you to know that you are not alone. You don't need to go through this alone. Lean on me depend on me. I'm always here for you, I have been and I'll be."
Jan Di was looking at him with her large eyes. Ji Hoo knew that it was shocking for her but he felt light in his heart after saying her everything. It was getting painful for him. Jan Di was so shocked that she couldn't say anything. She opened her mouth and closed it several times as no words were coming to her mouth. Finally she just murmured, "Sunbae…"
Ji Hoo pressed his index finger to her trembling lips and said, "Ssss…. I know, you don't have to say anything. Take your time, think about it."
Ji Hoo got down from the bed and buttoned up his shirt and walked towards the door. Before opening it he turned to her and said, "Don't push yourself too much. A lot had happened. Take your time, don't be burdened. I'm not rushing you."
He turned towards the door and was about to go out but Jan Di called him out, "Sunbae."
He turned back to her and said, "Hmm?"
"… Where are you going?" she asked in a small voice.
"I need to get some fresh air. Go to sleep, Jan Di-yah." Ji Hoo got out off the room and closed the door behind him.
Jan Di recalled what Ji Hoo had just said to her before he left the room. The more she recalled his words the more she felt like the worst person in the universe. 'How could I have done something horrible like this to sunbae? All these times he was beside me and I hurt him so much. Why haven't I noticed it?'
Then she realized that the signs were clearly there but she just pretended to be blind and didn't care much about it. Her eyes filled with tears. 'How heart breaking it might be for sunbae whenever he sent me to Gu Jun Pyo? How did he endure such pain?'
Her tears started to pour for bringing so much pain to him as she knew that his life was not very enjoyable from the very start. She cried more when she recalled what she did to him a while ago and calling Gu Jun Pyo's name while she was with him. She recalled his face which was looking at her with his painful eyes.
At Macau, when Jun Pyo's cruel words were drowning her in the abyss of sadness, how he appeared out of nowhere and cheered her up. She forgot the incident that had happened with Jun Pyo when she was with him. The song he sang for her. The shoes he bought for her with his own earning. She still clearly remembered what he said then.
"I've always wanted to buy you something with my own earning."
Then the way he smiled when he helped her putting on the shoes; the caring words of him. When he helped her while working alone in Su-am Art center and carried her home when she fainted.
She recalled his generosity, his kindness and everything that he had done for her unconditionally without thinking of anything in return. She curled up on the bed and let the tears drown her. This time Jun Pyo didn't come to her mind. Her mind filled with only thoughts of her Ji Hoo sunbae.
So Yi Jeong was furious. He kept drinking. Ga Eul was sitting beside him in his hotel room. She had tried to stop him once but he said that he needed to drink. Madam Kang's words were reverberating in his head again and again.
He was pissed at Jun Pyo as well. After getting married he came to search for Jan Di. That girl loved him so much that she was about to sacrifice her life to save Gu Jun pyo; she couldn't even swim anymore - the dream she had from her childhood, just because of him. He knew that Jun Pyo was helpless as well but he was the one who said that "A real man takes his responsibilities for his deeds."
'Then why are you not taking responsibilities, Jun Pyo? Jan Di is hurt so much. That little girl even went as far as to Macau Just to see you, how can you do something like this to her?!'
He slammed the glass on the table in front of him. He filled the glass again and took the glass to his lips but Ga Eul snatched the it away from his hand and kept it on the table.
He said, "Ga Eul-"
"Why are you doing this to yourself, sunbae?" Ga Eul asked him. She said, "This will do no good to you. You shouldn't drink anymore." She capped the bottles which were on the table. She placed them back on the tray and carried it to the desk which was beside the window. After that she returned to him and sat beside him.
Yi Jeong was silent. He knew that he couldn't argue with this girl. So he chose to keep quiet. He felt that his head was spinning and it might explode at any time. He clutched at his forehead.
"Are you alright, sunbae?" Ga Eul turned towards him and touched his arm lightly.
He didn't say anything but her concerned voice soothed him a little though he didn't show it. He put his hand away from his forehead and leaned to the side and laid his head on her shoulder.
Ga Eul stiffened a little but then relaxed. She held his head and made him comfortable on her shoulder.
Yi Jeong was surprised at first that she didn't push him away but then smiled a little. He knew that she liked him but she was not just any other girl. She was Chu Ga Eul after all. When she started to run her fingers through his ebony hair, he felt so comfortable, so sleepy.
No words were needed. Just the two of them stayed quietly together. So Yi Jeong didn't know how this girl had the power to sooth him just by staying beside him. He had dated a lot of women but she was so different from any other women he knew. He couldn't remember their names even but the girl beside him he just couldn't get her out of his head. What's happening to him?
So he tried to ignore his thoughts as they were disturbing him and closed his eyes. He felt so sleepy as Ga Eul was fingering his hair as if her fingers had magic.
Ga Eul was studying his face which looked so calm. She took note of his face as it was the very first time she was getting a closer look of his face. He was so handsome with the baby face of his. He didn't look like a playboy to her at that moment. She knew that he was not like that inside as he used it as his cover.
Yi Jeong smiled a small one as he knew that she was looking at him but he didn't want to embarrass her. so he stayed like that.
Ji Hoo came out of the elevator and found Woo Bin there. He walked towards his friend. "What are you doing here?"
Woo Bin looked back at Ji Hoo and ended the call and slipped the phone into his pocket. "Nothing, just taking care of some business. What are you doing here anyway?"
"Couldn't sleep." Ji Hoo replied shortly as it was partly true that if he even tried he wouldn't be able to sleep.
"Is Jan Di OK?"
"I… don't know." He replied. After what happened a while ago, he really didn't know what was going through her.
He was regretting for confessing her at the moment. She was going through a very hard time as the person she loved so much got married right before her eyes and she had to see it. He berated himself for burdening her with his feeling but he wasn't in his right mind either because he was hurt so much that Jan Di thought of him as Jun Pyo and… He tried to justify himself but he was getting more anxious.
Woo Bin was watching his friend curiously whose mind was not there at the moment. He didn't understand why Ji Hoo said that he didn't know if Jan Di was OK but then thought may be because of the whole thing. He squeezed his friend's shoulder to bring his mind back from whichever planet it was in.
Ji Hoo looked at Woo Bin and found him looking at him curiously.
He felt that something was bothering Ji Hoo as he looked so tensed but he knew that if he asked him, he would not have got any answer as Ji Hoo never spoke of his mind.
He felt that he could at least try to relax his friend. So he said, "Let's have a drink."
"No, I'm not in the mood to drink." Ji Hoo shoved his hands in his pocket.
"Hey, a little doesn't hurt once in a while."
Ji Hoo thought about it. 'May be these thoughts will go away if I get drunk.' So he said, "OK, let's go."
It's almost an hour and Ji Hoo hadn't returned yet. Jan Di was getting very anxious. 'Where are you, sunbae?' She wanted to go out and look for him but she was so tired. But then she sat up and looked for her phone.
She could see her luggage and her purse there. 'May be sunbae has brought my things here when I was sleeping.'
She got up from the bed and took her purse. She found her phone there. She took it with her and went back to the bed. She sat there and scrolled down her contact numbers. She found his number and hit the call button.
She waited for Ji Hoo to answer his call but after some ringing there was no answer. She tried several times but couldn't reach him. Her anxiety increased. She became restless. She abruptly stood up and decided to check where he was.
She opened the door and closed it behind her. She walked aimlessly here and there and looked around her for any sign of her sunbae but she couldn't find him. She huffed, it was impossible for her to find him in this big Shinwa Hotel.
Without her knowing she had come to the lodge. So she took a seat on one of the sofas. She shivered a little when she realized that it was a rather chilly night and she was just in her shorts and Tee. She looked around but there was none. She sighed.
She recalled the time when Ji Hoo had given her his gloves as that was a chilly night. Her hands were so cold. He had taken her hands in his and rubbed them to make them warm and afterwards had offered her his gloves. She smiled at the sweet memory.
After sitting there for almost twenty minutes she stood up and headed back thinking may be sunbae had come back. When she reached the room, she slided the key card and pushed opened the door. She looked around the room but there was none. She checked the bathroom but he wasn't there either.
'Where are you sunbae?!'
"Hey man, slow down!" Woo Bin took the glass from Ji Hoo's hand as he was drinking so much. He kept the glass by his side and said, "Tell me, what's bothering you so much?"
"Nothing really," Ji Hoo replied with difficulty. His head was spinning as he had never ever drunk so much in his whole life. He put his head down so that he wouldn't fall from the stool.
Woo Bin patted his arm and again asked, "Hey, you OK?" He himself was a little drunk but his head was still working.
Ji Hoo didn't budge. He shook him a little but there was no response.
"Hey, Ji hoo-yah, don't just pass out on me." But Ji Hoo didn't replied and didn't move either.
Woo Bin huffed. "I guess I'll have to take you to my room then." He put Ji Hoo's arm around his neck and took his sleeping drunk friend to his room.
Next morning
"Hey Jun Pyo, wake up."
"Aish! Go away, I want to sleep more." He rolled to the other side and tried to sleep.
"Ya! Brat, wake up, I say!" Jun Hee called him again but he just tossed and covered himself more with the blanket.
"If you want to sleep more, then go to your room and sleep." She said and forcefully took the blanket from him.
"Aish!" Jun Pyo sat up and rubbed his eyes. He opened his eyes and blinked rapidly. "Noona! What are you doing here?" he looked around and realized that it wasn't his room.
Jun Hee said, "Now you are awake." She sat beside him on the bed. "You were drunk last night. So I brought you here. Go to your room and get ready." She patted him and stood up to leave the room but Jun Pyo asked, "Do I really need to go to USA today?"
Jun Hee stopped and turned back. She could see his sad face which made her even sadder. "What can we do? We can't do anything against her. Can't you see yourself? What she did to you?"
Jun Pyo hung his head. He knew it very well that how much he tried, he couldn't escape from her. He stood up and said, "I'm going to my room then." He left the room.
Jun Hee felt so helpless. She sat on the sofa and covered her eyes with her hand.
He opened his eyes and found himself on the soft bed covered by a blanket. He sat up and threw his arms over his head to remove the stiffness from his extremities. He clutched at his head when he felt that he had a headache. He looked beside him and found Woo bin sound asleep.
He pulled out his long legs from under the blanket and went to the bathroom to take care of his morning business. After taking a shower he felt fresh but the headache was still there so he decided to ask Woo Bin for some medicine.
When he came out of the shower he found Woo Bin still sleeping. He walked towards the bed to Woo bin's side and shook him a little. "Woo Bin-ah, wake up."
Woo Bin turned to the other side but didn't wake up. "Hey, Song Woo Bin, wake up." Ji Hoo shook him a little harder.
"Ahh! What do you want?" Woo Bin opened his eyes and said.
"My head hurts. Do you have some meds?" Ji Hoo asked.
"Yeah, check the second drawer. You will find it there."
"Thanks." Ji hoo opened the drawer of the bed-side table and found the medicine. He took it and poured a glass of water. He popped the medicine in his mouth and swallowed it with water.
Woo bin was fully awake now. He leaned against the headboard and said, "You know, How heavy you are?! It wasn't so easy to bring you here. You are even heavier than Yi Jeong." He crossed his arms.
Ji Hoo smiled. He knew that it wasn't that easy and he appreciated his friend's help last night. So he turned towards him and said, "Thanks then."
"You owe me this time." Woo Bin grinned and Ji Hoo grinned back.
He opened the door, entered inside and closed it behind him. He couldn't even take a step before Ha Jae Kyung crushed herself into him. She hugged him tightly and said, "Where have you been, Jun? You know, I was so worried?"
He was about to wrench her arms from around him but then recalled what he said to her last night. His words were really cruel but the way she was hugging him right at that moment… 'Did she forgive me?' Not that he wanted it. He didn't need it either. But for his behavior of last night he let her hug him and stayed still.
Kang Hee Soo opened the door and saw that Jun Pyo and Ha Jae Kyung were hugging each other. She was so glad. She coughed a little and at that Ha Jae Kyung loosened her hold around Jun Pyo. Jun Pyo felt very uncomfortable.
Ha Jae Kyung greeted her, "Good morning, mother."
She smiled and greeted them both, but Jun Pyo looked away as her smile was making him want to puke. She said, "Get changed and come out. Everyone is waiting." She left the room.
Ha Jae Kyung turned towards Jun Pyo and hugged him again. Jun Pyo tried to wiggle out but didn't push her away saying, "Hey, monkey! Let go. I need to take a shower." She squeezed him a little and pulled away.
Jun Pyo quickly took his things and went inside the bathroom to take a shower.
Jae Kyung was feeling happy that he didn't push her away this time when she hugged him. This made her happy. She knew that she needed to work very hard to make him fall in love with her but she was ready to do anything for his love. So she determined. 'I will make you fall in love with me Jun.'
They were all in the hall room. F4, Jan Di, Ga Eul, Jae Kyung and other guests were there. Jun Pyo was forced by his mom to greet the guests with Jae Kyung. He huffed in annoyance.
F3 were standing together, beside them stood Ga Eul and Jan Di. Ga Eul was talking to Jan Di. While talking Ga Eul and Yi Jeong were exchanging glances at each other. Whenever their eyes met Yi Jeong smiled at her sweetly and Ga Eul blushed like mad.
Jan Di wasn't feeling very well as Gu Jun Pyo was just in front of her eyes. He was throwing glance at her. She felt sorrowful as the wounds of her heart were reopening again and again. Her chest was throbbing painfully when she saw Jae Kyung with him.
Ji Hoo could see the sad face of Jan Di. He was so worried about her. He was standing away from her but still kept an eye on her. He knew that she was hurting so much and wanted to take her out of this place but he also didn't want to talk to her at that moment as he was scared what he would hear from her.
Whenever her eyes met Jun Pyo's she quickly looked away as she couldn't bear that stare of his as if it was creating hole into her chest.
She didn't want to come here today but she came to say her farewell to her love and also wanted to congratulate Jae Kyung. Whatever happened she couldn't bring herself to hate this girl and she liked her very much. It was the minor reason though. The major reason for her to come here was Ji Hoo.
He didn't return to his room last night and she couldn't sleep well either as her head was full of thoughts of him and of Gu Jun Pyo. She looked at him and tried to catch his eyes.
When Ji Hoo's eyes met hers, he just gave her a wan smile and looked away. She knew very well now that he was so hurt. She needed to comfort him but at that very moment she needed his comfort the most. She knew Ga Eul couldn't comfort her as much as he can, no one could replace him. No one could comfort her the way he did all the time. It was so soothing that whenever she was with him, she could forget her pain and only Yoon Ji Hoo was capable of doing so.
She knew that she need to talk to him.
Gu Jun Pyo and Ha Jae Kyung were leaving for USA today. Everyone was saying their farewell to the newly married couple.
F4 were the last to say their farewell to the couple, particularly Gu Jun Pyo. Jan Di and Ga Eul came towards Jae Kyung. Jae Kyung hugged both girls and talked to them for a while.
Woo Bin and Yi Jeong hugged Jun Pyo but Ji Hoo just shook hands with him. After them Jan Di came towards Jun Pyo to say her farewell. Her eyes were filling with tears but she tried to control it. She tried to smile and said, "Con-congratulation, Gu Jun Pyo."
Jun Pyo couldn't hold back any more. So he hugged her tightly. Jan Di was shocked. 'What's he doing?' She squirmed and tried to wiggle out of his arms which only made it tighter.
"Just this once, please." Jun Pyo whispered in her ear. She stopped squirming at his words and let him hold her. Her tears fell down her cheeks as she closed her eyes to feel his warmth for the last time.
Ji Hoo looked away as his heart tore into piece at the view of them. Jae Kyung was shocked at that as well. The happiness she was feeling from this morning replaced by sadness.
Some guests were commenting and madam Kang tried to make excuses saying that they were good friends. She was fuming with anger inside. 'What is he doing? How dare he?'
Jun Pyo pulled away and brought her to arms length. Jan Di wiped her tears with the back of her hand. He said, "Forgive me, Guem Jan Di," and rushed to his private jet and hopped on it. Jae Kyung tried to smile and said her farewell to everyone.
Jan Di was walking with F3 and Ga Eul. They all were silent. Jan Di was walking as if in a daze.
"Jan Di!"
They all turned back upon hearing Jun Hee's voice. She invited them to have lunch with her before leaving for Seoul. They agreed. When they were about to go, Jun Hee held on to Jan Di's arm and said, "Jan Di-yah, come with me. I need to talk to you."
Jan Di nodded and Jun Hee bid others bye. Woo Bin, Yi Jeong and Ga Eul went to the other direction but Ji Hoo just stood there, watching Jan Di's retreating back.
When Yi Jeong called out, "Ji Hoo-yah, are you coming?"
He just nodded and walked with his friends.
Inside Jun Hee's room, she took a seat on the sofa and said, "Jan Di-yah, come and sit beside me."
Jan Di sat beside her without a word. Jun Hee looked at the little girl. She knew how fragile she was right now. She was holding herself back tightly, she could break down at any moment. Her heart went out to her.
"Jan Di-yah, look at me." She said in a soothing voice.
Jan Di looked up, tears shining in her eyes. "I know, you are so much hurt. Not just you but Gu Jun Pyo, Jae Kyung and even Ji Hoo."
She was surprised that Jun Hee knew about Ji Hoo's feelings for her. She looked at Jun Hee with astonished eyes. "Unni, how… how do you know about sunbae?"
Jun Hee smiled. "I've been seeing Ji Hoo from his childhood. I know him that much. He cares for you so much and he loves you with all he has. When Seo Hyun was with him, he was never like this the way he is with you. I've never seen him happier before. Like Gu Jun Pyo, he is also like my little brother, not only him but also the other two. They are like family to me, whatever my cruel mom say I've always seen them all as my little brothers."
Jan Di's tears rolled down her eyes. 'Even unni had noticed sunbae's feelings where I…' She started to cry.
Jun Hee felt sorry for her. She hugged her and let her cry against her shoulder. Jan Di cried so much for her love and at the same time cried for her sunbae whom she had hurt so much unintentionally. When her sob lessened Jun Hee brought her to arms length.
"Jan Di-yah, I know you love Jun Pyo and at the same time you love Ji Hoo though not like Jun Pyo."
Jan Di felt that Jun Hee was right. She definitely loved Ji Hoo if not the same way as Jun Pyo. She loved him as her closest friend but there were some times when she felt something more than friendship towards him if she were to be honest with herself.
Jun Hee said, "I know it's not easy but you should try to forget Jun Pyo because if you hold onto his memories it will do no good, it will just hurt you more. I'm not saying these things to you because I'm Jun Pyo's sister but I think of you as my little sister and I don't want to see you hurting. So think of it and give Ji Hoo a chance. He is a very good man and level headed also unlike my brother." She chuckled.
Jan Di faintly smiled. "So think of it, Jan Di-yah, hmm?"
Jan Di said, "OK unni and thank you so much for your advice. Now I think I really will be able to let him go." Jan Di stood up and walked towards the door but then she stopped midway and returned to Jun Hee. Jun Hee asked, "Is there something you want to say?"
Jan Di unhooked the moon-star necklace from around her neck and gave it to Jun Hee. "Unni, once Gu Jun Pyo gave it to me but I think I don't need it anymore and I also don't have the right to keep it now. So please, take it."
Jun Hee took it from her. Jan Di bowed and took her leave. Jun Hee smiled a little as she was feeling a little better after talking to Jan Di.
In Seoul
Jan Di was working in the porridge shop. It's been almost three weeks after Jun Pyo's wedding. After having lunch with Jun Hee they had come back at that afternoon. Jan Di didn't get much chance to talk to Ji Hoo.
There she had a feeling that he was avoiding talking to her but her suspicion was confirmed after returning to Seoul. He hadn't even called her once. She had tried to talk to him several times and messaged him but his replies left her no room to bring up the topic.
While pondering she heard the bell ringing and automatically stood up and bowed out of reflex. When she looked up she saw grandpa. "Grandpa!" she exclaimed.
He chuckled. Jan Di escorted him to his usual seat next to the glass window. He sat there and master came out. He bowed and greeted him. After taking his order he went inside to make grandpa's food.
Jan Di was talking to grandpa. While talking she heard her phone ringing. She pulled it out of her pocket and answered the call.
…..
…...
"What? What about me?"
…
Jan Di ended the call and sat on the chair in front of grandpa.
"What happened, Jan Di-yah?" he asked curiously.
She told him that due to their debt her parents with her brother were moving to her home town. They were leaving her back for school.
"You should stay at my home." Grandpa decidedly said.
"No, grandpa, I shouldn't impose on you." Jan Di tried to decline politely.
"Who said that you are imposing?" he barked. "My house has lots of rooms anyway. There wouldn't be any problem."
"May be Ji Hoo sunbae wouldn't like it…" He was after all ignoring her. 'May be sunbae doesn't want to see me anymore. Well I can't blame him for that.'
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's not a problem. He won't think that at all."
'If only you knew grandpa… May be I can look for a place and then move out.' She decided that and agreed to grandpa's offer.
Jan Di was standing in the living room of Ji Hoo's with her luggage by her side. Grandpa came out of his room and said, "The maids have cleared your room. All your necessary things will be there. Go to your room. If you need anything, don't hesitate to tell me."
Jan Di thanked him and entered the room. The room was decorated beautifully. New bed sheets, arm chair, a computer, dressing table and other necessary things. Grandpa had taken care of everything as he knew very well that Jan Di wasn't someone who would ask for a thing even if it was needed. So he took the liberty to decorate her room with his people.
Jan Di appreciated it and sat on the bed. She unpacked and changed into comfortable clothes. She was thankful that Ji Hoo wasn't at home because she still didn't have the guts to face him though she was dying to see him, hear his voice.
After supper grandpa went to sleep. Jan Di was sitting in the living room, waiting for Ji Hoo as he hadn't returned yet. She wanted to see him so much, talk to him and share so many things with him.
The last few days were so hard for her. She tried to go through it by herself but it would have been a lot easier only if Ji Hoo was beside her.
These few days she always looked at her phone, waiting for his call or a message. She couldn't bear it. Many times her mind screamed to run to him but she held herself together. The few calls and messages that were exchanged between them - all were initiated by her. So she couldn't bring herself to disturb him more.
Today she would definitely meet him and that's why she was waiting for him. She looked around the room and found a book of novel on the table. 'May be sunbae was reading it.'
She took the book and opened the page he had been reading as he had kept a piece of paper there. She opened the page and started to read. She heard the front door opening and closing. She closed the book and kept it on the table.
She waited for him to come inside with a thumping heart.
May be this one is not so good. i'm not satisfied myself as there was no direct converstion between Ji Hoo and Jan Di but in next chapter. There will be for sure. This chapter is a little bigger. Leave me your thoughts.
What will Ji Hoo's reaction upon finding Jan Di in his living room?
