Chapter Number Five

Vacation Part 1

Jan-Di's POV

My alarm clock woke me up at 9 o'clock, giving me thirty minutes to get ready before Ji-Ha Sunbae picked me up to actually see the hospital garden this time. Ga-Eul had promised to not ruin it, and I felt extremely happy for some reason. Checking my cell-phone, I realized I had a missed text.

I have an appointment with my psychologist.

I'll take you to the garden tomorrow.

That text was from Ji-Ha Sunbae. I sighed, and got back into bed. My cell-phone rang again, and this time it was Ji-Hoo Sunbae.

"Hello, Sunbae." I greeted him, yawning right after I finished.

"Meet me in front of the hospital. Something happened to Ga-Eul." He stated bluntly, and immediately hung up.

After finally processing what he had just said, and immediately limped to my wheelchair. After quickly picking up some pieces of clothing and shoving them on, I headed toward the entrance. The elevator seemed to take centuries. I finally saw Ji-Hoo Sunbae waiting in front of the hospital, napping on a pole.

"Sunbae? How can you be sleeping? Is Ga-Eul alright? What happened, we should call her parents immediately, they'll-"

"I'll take you to her." He stated bluntly. Picking my up from my wheelchair, he gently set me down in a limo and whispered the directions to the driver. They both nodded, and the engine started.

"Sunbae, which hospital is she staying at?" I asked, trying to keep my questions to a minimum.

"Don't know. We're meeting her there." He stated, and closed his eyes again. I sighed, and tried to relax. I couldn't imagine anything happening to Ga-Eul, it was just unimaginable.

Ga-Eul's POV

I leaned back in the jet's seat, feeling extremely guilty. Bringing her to Jun-Pyo's island again was for her own good, so she could remember him, but lying to her gave me an odd feeling in my stomach.

"They're here now. You can start the plane." I heard Yi-Jung Sunbae tell the pilot, and I immediately opened the shade covering the window. Through the small hole, I could see the limo that had just left twenty minutes earlier park itself in the parking lot.

"What about her wheelchair?" I asked, turning to Woo-Bin Sunbae. He was also watching their approach, and turned to answer me.

"It wouldn't have fit in the limo, so she's going to have to walk for a while. Jun-Pyo had titanium crutches made for her and they're on the plane if she absolutely needs them, but otherwise she's going to be fine." I nodded, still worried. You weren't supposed to bring hospital patients on jet planes to tropical islands.

As soon as Jan-Di stepped out of the car, her brow furrowed. She stared at me through the window hole, and then to Woo-Bin and Yi-Jung. We all shoved the blinds back down, feeling somewhat guilty. Only Jun-Pyo kept watching, and soon I heard her talking to Ji-Hoo. I shoved the window back up, confident she wouldn't see.

"What's going on?" her mouth tight. "I though Ga-Eul was hospitalized."

"You're going on vacation." He stated, and motioned toward the plane.

"Then why'd you tell me Ga-Eul was sick? And the hospitals never going to let me leave, and I didn't tell Ji-Ha Sunbae either, and-"

"The hospital's already been taken care of. You can call Ji-Ha when you get there, now get on the plane." Ji-Hoo interrupted her, and began gently shoving her toward the boarding ramp.

"I'm not getting on, why are you guys constantly kidnapping me?" she asked. Ji-Hoo ignored her.

"If you're not going to get on, I'm going to have to carry you." He stated, and began trying to pick her up. Shoving his arm away, she sighed.

"Fine, just don't touch me." she began slowly limping toward the plane, and Ji-Hoo's patience wore out.

Picking her up bridal style, he swiftly carried her to the ramp and up. She was slapping his hand the entire time, but he didn't seem to notice. She would've kicked too, but her leg was still injured. Jun-Pyo's face immediately tightened, and I just barely restrained myself from giggling. It was so obvious he liked her, I wonder what Jan-Di was missing. When she finally got into the plane, she sighed and sat across from me and Woo-Bin. Ji-Hoo sat next to her, and the plane started take-off.

"Where are we going?" she asked, and I shrugged.

"I'm not sure. It's owned by ShinHwa, and tropical." She made a face at Jun-Pyo, and opened the window.

"How long?" she questioned, this time I actually knew the answer.

"Seven hours, not including take-off and landing." Woo-bin answered. "You should get some sleep, we're arriving at 4:30 in the morning."

Jan-Di grabbed the pillow on the side of the seat. Leaning against the wall on her right, she fell asleep. I was about to ask Ji-Hoo if anything happened in the car, but he was already knocked out. I chuckled, he was nearly always asleep. Jan-Di had told me about him falling asleep just leaning on a stair-case. I found a laptop under my arm rest, and opened it immediately.

It'd been a while since take-off, so there was internet. It took a while to load, but I finally accessed my IM. I had three new messages, all from Alexander Smithen. Sighing, I shut my inbox and began madly playing Solitaire.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Woo-Bin asked, and I immediately turned to him.

"What do you mean?" I asked, glancing around.

"Alexander, the one who sent you all those emails. Him." I raised an eyebrow.

"Do you know him or something? Or did you hack my inbox." She shook his head.

"You just had it on your screen. You're changing the subject too, is he your boyfriend?" I shook my head.

"We're n-not going out. I broke up with him in ninth grade, but I don't think he took it seriously. I blocked his email address, but he just keeps on making new ones. I gave up ignoring him a while ago. He's easy to talk to, if you ignore the whole love-sick Romeo thing." I mentally slapped myself for stuttering. Woo-Bin had started chuckling obnoxiously as soon as I'd finished.

"It's not funny," I started, and he shook his head.

"I wasn't laughing at you." He stated, and I turned my head to where he was looking.

"Yi-Jung Sunbae's sleeping. That's hilarious." I said dryly, but he just kept on laughing. Sighing, I decided to join Jan-Di and fall asleep. Grabbing my pillow, I feel asleep dreaming of coconuts.

~~

Woo-Bin was off by 50 minutes, because we arrived at 5:20 some am. We landed at some miniature island right next to the one we were staying at, and then got to the resort by ferry boat. Yi-Jung and Jun-Pyo Sunbae were exhausted when we landed, because it turns out they were eating ramen and playing video games the entire time. Weird. I thought he was asleep.

"You know, this place looks extremely familiar." Jan-Di murmured when we left the plane. Ji-Hoo had to give her a piggy -back ride since Jun-Pyo had forgotten where he put the crutches. Everybody immediately turned to her, waiting for her to continue.

"I believe I've seen it in my geography textbook. It's called insert whatever the heck it's supposed to be called here , isn't it?" Everyone sighed, it would've been too easy for her to remember her former trip here with just one glance.

"You're right, ShinHwa bought it from Indonesia twenty years ago. It's been a tourist attraction ever since then." Yi-Jung stated, yawning as soon as he was finished.

"Butler Lee, give everyone their rooms. I'm exhausted." Jun-Pyo stated, and immediately started heading upstairs. Everyone stared after him for a while, until Butler Lee cleared his throat.

"Young Misters, you should be familiar with your rooms. They're on the second story, very left corner. Mister Yoon, you'll have to carry Young Miss until we find the crutches. Now, I'll show the Misses their room."

Our rooms were still on the first story, on the west wing. It was a separate part of the house, since it was located on water. Jan-Di and I had rooms right across from each other, and Ji-Hoo dropped her off on her bed so he could go unpack. Maids were called to unpack for Jan-Di, so the both of us headed down the beach.

"Ga-Eul, have I been here before?" Jan-Di asked, startling me.

"I don't think so, why do you ask?" I answered, and cluelessly as I could.

"When I said this place looked familiar, I was serious. Are you bringing me here to trigger another memory?" she questioned, her eyes innocently as she could.

"Well, the truth is-"

Jan-Di's POV

"Jan-Di! You're cell-phones ringing, and the person calling won't tell me who he is!" I turned to the sound, and Yi-Jung was running toward us with my cell-phone in his hand.

I took it from him, glaring.

"How'd you get my cell-phone?"

"I went to your room to tell you it was time for breakfast. You didn't answer, and when I went in you and Ga-Eul were both missing. The person on there's been waiting for a while, so you should probably answer now." He motioned for Ga-Eul to follow him, and walked toward the main house.

"Hello? Who is this?" I said into the phone, pacing in circles.

"Jan-Di? This is Ji-Ha. Are you okay? Where are you?"

"Ji-Hoo Sunbae took my, Ga-Eul, and the rest of the F4 to one of ShinHwa's islands. It's somewhere near Indonesia." I said, wondering if he was going to be mad. I'm not sure whether not I was really forgiven for yesterday. I heard him pause on the phone, and then he continued.

"What's it called? Is it insert whatever the heck it's supposed to be called ?" he asked.

"Yeah, it's insert whatever the heck it's supposed to be called. I just got here. How did your examination go?" If he heard me, he pretended like he didn't.

"Okay, I'll be there by tonight. Wait for me. Good-bye." With that, he hung up the phone. I was a little shocked, I knew Ji-Ha was in the same class as the F4, but how was he going to get here? Shrugging, and thinking he was joking, I started limping to the house for breakfast.

"Who was on the phone?" Ga-Eul asked as soon as I sat down.

"Ji-Ha Sunbae. He asked me where I was, and then told me to wait because he was coming." I said, chuckling. Everyone else dropped their forks.

"Ji-Ha said he was coming?" choked Jun-Pyo, wiping his mouth. I rolled my eyes.

"Didn't I just say that. I'm not sure if he was serious or not, I think he was kidding though."

"He wasn't kidding," stated Yi-Jung Sunbae standing up. "I think he wants to bring you back."

"Why would he do that? He shouldn't go through the trouble, I'm perfectly safe."

"Jan-Di, we didn't bring you here for a vacation. We brought you here because you really have been here before, and we hoped you would remember something." Ga-Eul said, looking me straight in the eye.

"What's that have to do with Ji-Ha Sunbae?"

"You were friends with Ji-Ha and his brother. You remembered how saving his life helped you enter ShinHwa High School, but you don't remember anything that happened during that time. Something big happened last time you were here, and it was important, but not necessarily happy. Ji-Ha doesn't want you to remember, because not all of it is good."

"Why would Ji-Ha care so much, it's important to have your memories." Everyone looked around, and Woo-Bin was the one who spoke.

"Jan-Di, events weren't the only thing you forgot. You forgot some people as well."

"I know, I forgot just forgot my mom."

"No, not just your mom. You forgot someone else that was really really important to you. We're here so you can remember him."

"Him, do you mean I have another brother?" I wondered aloud, and Ji-Hoo Sunbae shook his head.

"We're not going to tell you, you have to remember for yourself." He told me, and everyone stood up from the table.

"We found your crutches. We're going into town now." Woo-Bin told me, and I nodded. There seemed to be a silent exchange going on between Jun-Pyo and Ji-Hoo, but I ignored it. All my energy needed to be focused on remembering whoever the heck they were talking about.
