A/N: Here we are guys! Thank you for all your support still it really makes me want to keep writing. I hope that you all will keep reading.
Geum Jan Di and Ji Hoo rushed into Seok Young's room. They saw him laying still, the sound of his breathing was labored and choppy. His face that was once so full of life was pale and weary. Ji Hoo had never seen his grandfather look so beaten, his illness had taken its toll this time around. Unlike last time he wasn't sure if his grandfather would be ok.
Helplessly he sank beside the bed, taking his grandfather's limp hand. Ji Hoo felt completely numb, he had just started to have a relationship with him. He had leaned on his grandfather so naturally now, he was withering away right before his eyes. Ji Hoo wanted, no he needed his grandfather to be ok. All in All he just needed him period.
Jan Di forced her body to move sluggishly towards the man who had helped her so much over the past couple of months. In a way he had become her grandfather, she adored the man who had doted on him and thought of her as family.
Now here they were beside his bed, unsure what to do or say. Unsure of how to handle the situation completely. Jan Di knew she had to be strong for Ji Hoo who was falling apart before her eyes. He was always the one who was calm and together always. She had never seen him so broken, at least never this way. Ji Hoo shoulders shook violently, his eyes filled with tears that threatened to break free. Now more than ever he need a shoulder to lean on, he needed her.
Cautiously Jan Di wrapped her arms around his shoulders, resting her chin on the top of his head. "He will be alright, you'll see." She cooed as she hugged herself tighter to him.
Ji Hoo could feel the last of his reserve cracking, he was ready to burst-to let his tears rain down. But he held them back, he didn't want Jan Di to see him like that. He had never fully broken down exposing all his tender feelings in front of her. Ji Hoo was afraid if he showed her that side she would bolt. He had to stay the strong knight that he had always been.
As if sensing he was holding back she murmured. "If you need to cry, cry I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here by your side. You're always saving me, always so strong for me. Now it's my turn."
Jan Di moved beside him looking him square in the eye, showing him her tear filled ones. "I'll cry with you, so cry don't hold it all in. You don't have to be so strong all the time. Lean on me. We'll get through this together. I-I love you so let me in, Ji Hoo." Her voice started to crack, tears breaking loose. In that moment, Jan Di learned just how strong her feeling were.
"Jan Di…" Ji Hoo couldn't hold back anymore, he didn't want to.
They clung to each other, sobs racking their bodies. This moment was bringing closer that they had ever been. Somehow they were meant to find one another, true soul mates.
Seok Young knew this the moment he had saw the two together. He wanted to see them get married, to be able to meet his great grandchildren. So he fought, he was a stubborn old man and he wasn't leaving, not yet. He forced his eyes to open with great effort. The first thing his eyes focused on, were Jan Di and his grandson holding each other.
His recent heart attack was a blessing in disguise. It didn't take a psychic to know that these two were going to be together for a very long time. Seok Young would be around to watch them grow together.
"Where's the camera." He gave a chocked laugh, enjoying the surprised looks on their faces.
"Grandpa!" They shouted in unison practically jumping on the bed to hug him.
"I-we, are you ok?!" Ji Hoo asked hurriedly examining his grandfather grinning face.
"Should I make you some tea?" Jan Di blurted out suddenly.
Ji Hoo exchanged a look with his grandfather before bursting out into laugher. Only Jan Di could cut through any serious moment with one sentence.
When the laughter died down Seok Young replied. "I am fine, I'm sorry I made you worry. No tea thank you dear." His face hardened with sudden seriousness. "Shouldn't you both be at home? Isn't graduation tomorrow? You two should get some rest."
Ji Hoo leaned back deep in though. "I forgot about graduation."
"Ahh me too. Sun- Ji Hoo I'll stay here with grandpa if you want to go back and get some rest." She offered generously with a toothy smile.
He shook his head. "If you're staying than so am I."
"No, both of you go home and get some rest. You have a big day ahead of you. I'll still be here so go."
Jan Di sniffed. "I didn't have any plans on going so I'll come back right after the ceremony."
Beside her Ji Hoo stiffened, he had no idea that she was planning on skipping the dance. He wanted her there as did the rest of F4, Jun Pyo being the exception. Somehow he would have to make sure she was there.
Early the next morning Jan Di sat with her family a pout on her lips. Her mother was fondly ironing her school uniform. Her little brother eyed her in wonder.
"Ashieeee. It seems just like yesterday that our Geum Jan Di started at the academy. Now you're graduating." Her mother's voice cracked slightly.
"I'm sorry I can't go to a regular collage." Jan Di mumbled with her head down.
"You could just not go." Kang offered.
"No, I've decided what I want to do. I have to take that test and past so I can get that scholarship."
"You can do it! Fighting!" He chanted holding his fist up in the air.
She couldn't help but laugh. "Fighting!"
"Grandpa! You shouldn't move around so much! Wait here and I'll be back with some tea!" Jan Di said cheerfully jogging to the door, with a look back she waved at him before disappearing.
Seok shook his head a grin splashed on his face. "That rascal." His tone was full was fondness. He was grateful to her for bring him and Ji Hoo together again. He was even more thankful that she was showing his grandson what a beautiful love really was.
Outside Jan Di saw a limo parked on the curb, the driver holding open the back door expectantly. He saw her and gave a bow gesturing her inside. She looked around and pointed to herself. The man nodded bowing again. Confused Jan Di slipped into the car not knowing where she was going. She wasn't even sure who had the limo in the first place.
The limo stopped in front of a huge building that was lit up as bright as a Christmas tree. This was where the dance for the school was being held, instantly she knew Ji Hoo had something to do with the limo.
She bolted from the car before the driver could even reach her side. Classical music lured her in an elegant room, her classmates were dancing, and the ones that weren't crowing around the F4 that is.
"Where have you been? We've been waiting all day to dance with Jan Di." Yi Jung chuckled when she reached the table.
"It isn't a party with the great Geum Jan Di." Woo Bin offered his hand. "Would the great Geum Jan Di do me the honor of giving me the first dance?"
All the boys were grinning at her, she couldn't help but grin back. Of course they weren't going to let her skip out on anything, that's just how they were.
Jan Di slipped her hand into Woo Bin's who was already pulling her onto the dance floor twirling her around.
He had always been the back bone of the F4. He looked after everyone, letting no harm come to the people he cared about the most. Jan Di now knew he was a protective and extraordinary person.
As for Yi Jung, despite him being such a cruel person on the outside, inside he was really kind and caring. Jan Di was grateful to him, Ga Eul was experiencing a beautiful love because of him.
"Don't you think you should give other people a turn?" Ji Hoo asked interrupting her and Yi Jung's dance.
"Rascal." Yi Jung chuckled stepping aside.
Jan Di felt her face heat up. "I don't think I'm really dressed for this sort of thing."
"It's perfect." He beamed. "Geum Jan Di's combat uniform. What a way to go out with a bang."
A laugh bubbled up as she took his hand, he pulled her closer remembering the first time they had ever danced together. At least this time she wasn't on his toes.
Ji Hoo…she thought. You have always been by my side. Rescuing me whenever you heard the bell ring. You cheered me one, supporting me with your strength. Fought for me when things seemed so hopeless. You are my soul mate…Thank you.
Ji Hoo dipped her touching his lips to hers. Together they could do anything, get through any difficult situation. This was their story, a story that started the first time they had met. This wasn't the end. It was their new beginning.
