Chapter 12: The End II
A/N: Yeah, this is the legit end, I hope. In case you haven't noticed, I tend to write my author's notes before I write the actual chapter. So, please enjoy ^^

Ga-Eul's POV
Jan-Di and I headed over towards our room, after dodging a ton of maids. It was empty, so I assumed JunPyo had the dinner ready, and YiJung and WooBin were hiding somewhere in the kitchen with popcorn. Or caviar, in their case. JanDi took the shower in our room, saying she really had to go to the bathroom. I headed over to JunPyo's bathroom, not wanting to take a chance in YiJung and WooBin's. Who knew what players like them used them for, besides cleansing purposes.
We both came out in our robes, and opened the nicely wrapped boxes on the tables. JanDi didn't seem to be complaining, I assumed she was telling herself it was a sacrifice she would have to make for the food. We opened them at the same time, and it wasn't actually that bad.
Her dress was a strapless black number that reached to a few inches above her knees. The entire thing was made from a flow-y black silk, and didn't include any pattern. The accessories included were all silver, and she ignored the makeup bag. She put on some foundation, and nude lip-gloss. My dress had a brown smooth top that was slightly open and poofed at the very top. There was very dark gray-blue strap in the middle, and a nearly black royal blue skirt that ended a few inches above my knees. (1) We both had black heels, around three inch. After dressing, we both headed out. I made a note to forget my clutch.
"I don't see why we can't just eat dinner in the room. The dining room is obviously big enough, and even a few chefs could cook in the kitchen if they refused to order out." Jan-Di sighed, shifting uncomfortably in her outfit.
"I gave up understanding the F4 a long time ago." I chuckled, although not too happy with mine either.
"Good point," she muttered, rounding the corner to the elevator after a few moments of silence.
"Oh, Jan-Di, I forgot my wallet. I'll go get it." I said, turning to rush back to the room.
"Why do you need a wallet? We're with the F4, I don't think they're man-egos would let us pay even if we could afford it."
"My phone's in there, in case my mom calls. I don't want to worry her, this trip was kind of last minute." I answered, having my answer already prepared. Nothing could go wrong tonight.
"If she complains, tell her by F4 standards, they starting planning too early. Do you mind if I go down first?" She asked, chuckling.
"Its fine, I don't want to keep you from your pork for too long." I smiled in return, and walked back to the room. Thanks to all of Yi-Jung Sunbae's fake date, I could walk effectively in heels.
After heading back into the room and locking the door, I headed towards the phone and waited for Martin to call, saying JanDi had entered. A few moments later, the phone rang and I answered.
"Ga-Eul, this is JanDi. Where are you?"
"Um, I'm in the room. My mom did call, so I answered. Sorry, but she's still on. Can you make this quick?" I answered, wondering why the heck she would call.
"Yeah, I'm at the restaurant. Some Martin dude is at the door and won't let Ji-Ha Sunbae enter. I don't want him to have to eat dinner alone, so we're going to some other restaurant. Tell-"
"No!" I screeched, and then panicked. Ji-Ha would definitely confess, and JanDi was completely unreadable in this situation. They couldn't be alone right now.
"It's rude to make him eat dinner alone. What's wrong with accompanying him?" Jan-Di asked, oblivious to my inner turmoil.
"Um, it'd be bothersome to go somewhere else. Ji-Ha hasn't gotten to know the F4 very well, so they could eat dinner together. Put Martin on the phone."
"Alright…" I heard JanDi say, confused. A muffled "here" was heard, and I assumed the phone was handed over to Martin.
"Hello, who is this?" an extremely accented Korean voice said.
"Martin, this is Ga-Eul. Let Jan-Di and the guy with her in." I stated, hoping JunPyo had told him my name.
"Ah, GaEul-nim. Hello, but JunPyo instructed me to admit only the female."
"That's because… Ji-Ha Sunbae couldn't come, but his meeting was cancelled and it turns out he can make it. He and JunPyo are really good friends, they're having dinner together along with JanDi. Let them both in." I said, hoping he would comply. There was a sight pause on the line, I waited anxiously.
"Very well, they have both entered. Thank you for your time, goodbye." Martin said, and then ended the call. I sighed, and then called JunPyo.
"Ga-Eul! Where is she! Why do I not see her?" He exclaimed, I sighed. Jan-Di had not exaggerated his impatience.
"Ji-Ha's with her. Be careful, and tell the band to go away. It's excessive for a normal dinner, even for you guys." I said, and then hung up.
I needed to call Yi-Jung and Woo-Bin, Jan-Di would be suspicious if they were missing at the dinner. I hurriedly looked through my contacts, and clicked |CALL|It rung a few times, and then he picked up.
"GaEul-yang, why hasn't the show started yet?" Yi-Jung Sunbae asked, I could hear Woo-Bin and his childish complaining in the background.
"Ji-Ha decided to follow JanDi to dinner, you guys need to get there. Pronto." I said, and hung up again. I needed to be there too, JanDi knew my mom didn't talk for that long. Maybe I could tell her my dad had said something too. I sighed, and cut myself off. I just needed to go downstairs. Plan #1 failed.

Yi-Jung's POV
Thinking back, forgetting about Ji-Ha was foolish. Even if he had appeared without the intent to sabotage any chance JunPyo had with JanDi, he would've eaten with us anyways. Expecting him to stay looked up in his room plotting for seven days straight was ridiculous.
"Ugh, that was awful!" JunPyo groaned, everyone in attendance nodded their head in agreement.
The entire dinner, JanDi had given JiHa her undivided attention. Except for some moments where she talked about drama or movie with Ga-Eul, she paid absolutely no attention to anyone else there. He had helped her order, helped her with the utensils, and have even helped her wipe leftover food from the corner of her mouth. I do have to give props to JunPyo, he had gone through the entire two hours without killing anyone. The pots and utensils in the kitchen, however, were a completely different story.
It was now a few hours later, and JanDi and he who must not be named were asleep. After deciding discussing this in our room was too risky, we decided on the small Starbucks in the hotel.
"I don't really see why we're meeting." Ga-Eul yawned, obviously bitter about her lost sleep. Woo-Bin nodded in agreement.
"Confession #2 was planned and set up before JanDi even arrived, what could be possibly have to talk about right now?" Woo-Bin muttered, and headed over to the counter to go get coffee.
"That's quite obvious. Confession #2 will have to be postponed, until we manage to get rid of Ji-Ha. He obviously intends on following JanDi around everywhere until we get her alone, so we'll just have to make JanDi hate him." He stated, matter-of-factly.
"How do you intend on making JanDi hate him? You saw them eating dinner today, they're like siblings." I responded, confused at the knowing gaze he shot me. Ga-Eul and Woo-Bin commenced fighting over his coffee, seeing their energy I don't see why they need coffee in the first place.
"He'll rape Ga-Eul." Jun-Pyo exclaimed, and it was then dead silence. Ga-Eul had spit all the coffee she just won over Woo-Bin, who didn't even notice since he was too busy being shocked. I shook my head and went to grab a tea, in an attempt to ignore all the mental pictures that was giving me.
"Are you insane? Have you gone mad? Why the hell should I get raped?" Ga-Eul screeched, failing to contain her irritation.
"Don't worry, you're not actually going to get raped. We'll drug Ji-Ha, you'll be in the same room, and then he'll try to advance against you. Yi-Jung and Woo-Bin will hear you since they just came back from a club, and then they'll beat the crap out of him." He replied brightly. Ga-Eul looked completely shocked, I honestly had nothing to say to that.
"Um, are you insane? Can't you just like deport him or make the hospital call him back? Is there a need to be so extreme?" Woo-Bin replied, completely serious.
"If he get called back, he'll still be on Jan-Di's good side. This means if she has feelings for him, they'll remain. She needs to despise him." He responded, as if it were completely obvious.
"What's wrong with staying on her good side? The point is for you to confess, not for him to be despised." I stated, I really didn't see where this was going.
"He's staying close to her so that he can make me miserable, he doesn't actually have feelings for her. If she falls for him, then he's just going to toss her aside eventually. In order for her to be protected from his false charms, she has to hate him." He stated, somber.
I finally understood, he wasn't being selfish and edging out the competition. For once in his life, JunPyo was caring for somebody else. He was scared that Jan-Di would end up hurt if she dated Ji-Ha, I don't even think he realized what he would have to go through. Still, having Ga-Eul raped was honestly going way too far. It didn't have to be Ga-Eul, it could've just been
"I'll do it." Ga-Eul stated, soberly.
"What? Are you insane? It doesn't have to be you, we could just have him make a move on some random girl!" Woo-Bin exclaimed, and she shook her head.
"We shouldn't involve other people in this; it's not their problem to deal with. Besides, nothing will actually happen to me, so it's alright." She replied, sighing.
By the look in her eye, I could tell she was just being selfless again. It was completely obvious she didn't want to agree to the act, no one wants to go through pretend rape. But sacrificing it for Jan-Di, I sighed. Sometimes I wondered if we were taking all this to seriously. JanDi and JunPyo, all he had to do was confess. Even if she doesn't remember him, she's the type of person who would give him a chance. Being so deceptive, planning all these excessive events, it seemed kind of ridiculous from an outsider's point of view.
"I think we're taking this too seriously." I stated, exhausted. They all looked at me, confused.
"In all honestly, all JunPyo has to do is confess and woo JanDi. It may not be easy, but there's really no reason to go this far. We're all stressed and tired, going and having Ga-Eul volunteer to be raped is taking this ordeal too far. We should just calm down, Jan-Di isn't some stone. She has emotions, and we shouldn't manipulate her like this." I finished, yawning. Humans weren't meant to be awake at 4 in the morning.
"Yeah, this isn't some national crisis." Ga-Eul complied, after some silent moments of thought. We all nodded, JunPyo especially. He stood up, and we waited.
"Forget this ever happened. I'm going to sleep." He replied, and headed upstairs. Ga-Eul grinned, obviously relieved. Woo-Bin and I exchanged glances, Confession #2 would be interesting.

Once again, I fail at completing the story. It did go father though, but I should probably stop calling them "The End Insert Number Here" since it's obviously not going to end anytime soon. SIGH… Yeah, if you don't like the dresses, blame YoonA and Kim SoEun. I just kind of failed at describing whatever it was they wore.
(1)I kind of suck at describing dresses. So here's the link to the picture: .com/files/ons3/346/3463885/50_2009/8237c90a265c0a57_kimsoeun_goldendisk_
