Chapter Number One

Forgotten

Geum Jan-Di's POV

Checking to make sure everyone was already asleep, I slipped into the night. Even with the debt repaid, everything was so stressful. The fish market moms had raided our house again, offering food. Some had even slipped in through a window and cleaned for us, as mom found out after spotting them while she was taking a shower. She actually called 911, and the police came. They were arrested for trespassing, and charged with some other stuff I didn't really understand. While being dragged away, they were trying to steal a button off of Sunbae's jacket, and screeching praises. It was a nice gesture, but a little scary.

Since Ji-Hoo Sunbae repaid the debt, there wasn't a reason to stay at the fish market anymore for my mom and brother. Therefore, they had decided to move back into the city this weekend. Kang San was so happy he'd already started packing. I couldn't move back, or else Ji-Hoo and Ga-Eul would be in trouble again, so I decided to move to a suburb. Finding work at a food stand or as a house keeper wouldn't be an issue, and there should be some people there rich enough to afford a maid. My pack had a little money leftover that Sunbae had insisted on giving us, and some food to last me to wherever I was headed.

I heard foot-steps close by, and I had been so absent-minded I almost screamed. Ducking behind a car, I peeked to see if the coast was clear. I spotted Sunbae, and was surprised. I could've sworn I'd just seen him asleep on the couch. I sighed, but spotted headlights nearby. Most people couldn't afford a car around here, so I checked. It was the man my mom had told me about, the one who had been wronged by ShinHwa.

He looked like he was waiting for Sunbae, which puzzled me. How could they possibly know each other? I was going to walk away, but my brain sudden clicked. The man hated ShinHwa, and he thought Sunbae was the heir! I sprinted behind the brick building, and right when the man started driving, managed to tackle Ji-Hoo out of the way. Instead, the car hit me.

The car was going faster than I thought, and instead of crashing into the windshield I went flying through the air. I could see blood from my forehead; it was dripping down my through my nose. My hand hurt, and there was a pain in the center of my torso, most likely a broken rib. I slowly fell asleep, although I'm not sure how that was possible under the circumstances. I don't remember hitting the ground I just remember sitting on top of the observery with Jun-Pyo. This time, there weren't any stars, or even satellites. And this time, I was all alone.

Jun-Pyo's POV

My feet were firmly planted to the ground while my mind processed the occurring scene. Ji-Hoo would've been hit by a drunken lunatic operating an automobile, but the love of my life had just knocked him out of the way. She was now flying through the air, about to hit the ground. My feet remained planted for a few moments, while I mentally congratulated myself. Then, I immediately commenced sprinting.

"GEUM JAN-DI! GEUM JAN-DI!" I managed to catch her before she landed and immediately set her down.

"HEY DRY CLEANER! YOU'D BETTER WAKE UP RIGHT NOW! IF THIS IS A JOKE, YOU'RE SO DEAD TOMORROW! WAKE UP!" After applying a light slap to her cheek, she moaned.

A rustling noise was heard nearby, and therefore I glanced over. Ji-Hoo had revived himself from his previous condition, and immediately started dialing on his mobile telephone.

"Hello? Hello! I'm at the, um, Se-Seoul Fish Market, um, right by the northern, no eastern, entrance. Two of my friends were just injured."

Jan-Di was the one hit, so the second "friend" must've been the drunken lunatic. When I glanced at my hand, I realized my condition wasn't any better. My imported Armani Exchange suit had been ripped by stray tree branches and my hands were slightly blood must've been the drunken lunatic.

"Sunbae, Ga-Eul" I heard Jan-Di murmur "Save corp, save job." I was unfamiliar with what she was murmuring about, but it had a high chance of relating back to me.

"They're on their way here," he started and commenced when I had gotten up with the assistance of the hand he had offered. "The man's unconscious a well." I glanced over at the car, staring blankly at the disheveled guy, limp over the steering wheel.

I felt immediate anger. Courtesy of him, my best friend had almost died and my girlfriend was in some sorts of a coma. There he was, peacefully unconscious snoring like my sister. Before I could properly thank him, a siren was heard nearing our location. It'd be problematic if the heir to ShinHwa was seen attacking a sleeping civilian, so I restrained myself.

An ambulance arrived soon, and I lifted Jan-Di and carried her to the white truck. She shifted in her sleep, and I felt a heartstring tighten. The man would be dealt with soon enough, but currently I had more important issues. For example, the incompetent driver who laid his extremely breakable hand on me.

"I'm sorry sir, but you cannot ride with-" the driver started, and I immediately punched him. He fell to the ground, curled in a tight ball. It was rather pathetic, but time was being wasted.

I turned to the other he-nurse, his eyes wide. "Excuse me?" I questioned, raising my eyebrow. He recognized me immediately, and the truck left. I believe the man I had just punched was screaming after us, but that could be dealt with later.

General POV

"Yesterday night, an attempted murder was placed on the well-known heir to ShinHwa Corp. The man, whose name isn't being released, was 47 and one of the many unemployed because of the success of the largest company in Korea. Luckily for ShinHwa, Wonder Woman strikes again! She managed to push him out of the way, so he suffered minor scratches and a sprained wrist. The attacker and Wonder Woman are currently unconscious and hospitalized. Once awaken, the man will be taken into court. Now, for the Korean baseball team-"

The news anchor was abruptly cut off by Jun-Pyo, who threw the remote down right after. Everyone turned to him, due to the lack of anything better to do.

"What?" he questioned, and then adjusted himself in his chair. Seconds later, he was asleep.

"This can't be normal. It's been what, 14 hours? She still hasn't awakened yet." Yi-Jung stated, glancing at the unconscious patient on the bed. "What do you think, Ji-Hoo?" he questioned, and glanced to his right. No one was surprised to find the guy asleep.

Jun-Pyo, his sister, Yi-Jung, Woo-Bin, and Ga-Eul have been sitting in Jan-Di's room since three o'clock in the morning. Her mom came for a while, but Ga-Eul kicked her out, saying she needed her rest. Jan-Di had been placed in a VIP room, courtesy of Woo-Bin's blackmailing, and the best treatments in the country. Unfortunately, she was still asleep. A few hours ago, Jun-Pyo had beaten the doctor up for giving her too much sleep medicine during the operation, so they had no way of knowing how Jan-Di was doing. Slowly, they all drifted to sleep.

"EH! What're you all doing in my room? I told you I need-" she started, and everyone immediately woke up and stood. "Wait…" she murmured, and glanced around. "Where am I?" she wondered, and the formerly asleep visitors immediately grinned.

"JAN-DI! You're awake! I thought you were going to die! Don't you ever get hit by a car again, you had me so worried!" Ga-Eul gushed, and tackled-hugged her. She was immediately pulled off my Yi-Jung. From jealousy or for the well-being of a hospital patient was unknown, but most guessed the later.

"I'm sorry for worrying all of you, it won't happen again." Jan-Di said, and bowing as far down as she could while still sitting in her bed.

"It's fine," Ji-Hoo stated, throwing up his hands and yawning. "If you're going to get hospitalized again, make it more serious. That way they'll get you a bigger room. This Casanova can't shut up even in his sleep." The room chuckled.

"No, it's not fine." Everyone turned to Jun-Pyo. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? If you worry me again like that, I'm really going to kill you. Don't even think about-"

"Who the heck are you, eh? Who do you think you are, randomly walking in my room and telling me what to do?"

"Eh? Don't yell at me, do you know how worried everyone was, and-" he stopped shortly, realizing what had just come out of Jan-Di's mouth.

"Who am I, you ask? You have got to me joking."

"Who would joke with someone like you? I don't want some random guy in my room, yelling at me." she turned to everyone else in the room, and they were all throwing blank looks at her.

"Who invited him here anyway?"

"Jan-Di, you really don't know Gu Jun-Pyo?" Woo-Bin asked, and he glanced over at Ga-Eul.

"What's there to know? Should I?" I questioned, throwing everyone a confused glance. I had never seen that guy before in my life.

"You little commoner." This "Gu Jun-Pyo" started. "Do you want to die? If this is your idea of a joke, I am going to kill you." He stated, and Jan-Di's jaw dropped.

"Jan-Di, do you know who this is?" Ga-Eul asked, pointing to Ji-Hoo.

"Ji-Hoo Sunbae. Don't you recognize him?" she asked, puzzled.

"What about them?" she asked, motioning to Woo-Bin and Yi-Jung.

"Yi-Jung and Woo-Bin Sunbae. Ga-Eul, what's going on?"

"So, the only one you don't know is him?" Ga-Eul asked again, pointing to Jun-Pyo.

"Of course she knows me. I'm-" Jun-Pyo started, throwing his arm around her. Jan-Di responded by punching it.

"Do you think you're a gangster or something? It's not like I'm afraid to hurt you. Why are you here in the first place, because it obviously isn't to visit me. I don't even know you."

"Ga-Eul, is he your boyfriend? Because I really don't approve." Jan-Di stated, and Woo-Bin burst out laughing at the looks on both Yi-Jung and Jun-Pyo's faces.

"No, he's not Ga-Eul's boyfriend. He, um, owns this hospital, and was just checking up on all the patients." Woo-Bin motioned to the door, and when Jun-Pyo wouldn't budge he shoved him out.

"Also, um, the doctor needs to do a head scan to make sure nothings bleeding. Yi-Jung will take you." Woo-Bin continued, and Jan-Di nodded.

After Jan-Di followed Yi-Jung out the door, Jun-Pyo came back into the room.

"How funny, she's gotten a sense of humor." Jun-Pyo stated nervously. Woo-Bin shook his head.

"I don't think she was kidding, it seemed like she really didn't know you." Woo-Bin stated, and Jun-Pyo sighed, then glanced at Ga-Eul.

"Well? You're her best friend. Was she telling the truth?"

"Jan-Di's a horrible liar, it would've been obvious if she wasn't telling the truth. She wouldn't joke around with something like that either." Everyone sighed, and Woo-Bin spoke again.

"So she wasn't lying. I think we have a problem now."

The End [Obviously]

A Couple of Things

If you know what Gu Jun-Pyo's older sister's name is, tell me. Immediately.

You don't have to review. And I won't make up some lame excuse for you to involving a ridiculous dialogue between the characters as if they're no in the story. Or draw a lame button made out of characters to the review button I can't even see. But if I run out of ideas, then it's on you.
