A day passed and the couple was back to their regular activities: As always, Jun-pyo was busy with the business, and Jan Di was busy with medical school.

As for the rest of the F4, Ji-hoo already graduated from medical school and is doing really well. He has yet to reopen his grandfather's clinic but works as an intern at Shinhwa hospital for the mean time.

Yi-jung and Ga-eul are in a official relationship, since the day Yi-jung came back from Sweden a year ago. Since his injury, Yi-jung vowed that he would never give up, and, with the expanded knowledge he acquired in Sweden, started teaching pottery.

While in the US, Jun-pyo and Jae Kyung happened to meet with each other and Jae Kyung expressed several times to him that she wanted to come back to Korea and see the rest of the F4, Jan Di, and Ga-eul again. And she did just that, about 4 months after Jun-pyo came back, and started a relationship with Woo Bin.


Because Jan Di was in her final year of medical school, she knew she had to try her absolute best. Unlike last year when she was sort of struggling, this year she was slowly improving, despite the work not getting any easier.

Right now she was on another medical outreach trip.

"Your eyesight is fine, and you don't have any major health problems." Jan Di reported happily to the grandfather she had just finished examining. "But please continue to take your vitamins daily. Okay? Take care, haraboji!" she bowed as he thanked her and left.

That was her last task of the day, as more doctors and nurses arrived. Jan Di blew out air in exhaustion and packed her things.

As soon as she finished she turned around, and accidentally bumped into the chest of somebody.

"Sorry!" they apologized at the same time and bowed simultaneously. It was when they saw each other's face that they just stood there in surprise for what seemed as ages.

"Geum.. Jan.. Di...?"

"Lee.. Dae.. Hyun...?"


"How are you doing, Miss Kyung Mi?" Ji-hoo softly asked the badly-injured young woman laying in bed. Kyung Mi laid emotionless and silent until after a minute, when she managed to reply a quiet, "Fine."

"Do you still feel any pain? " he asked, with concern. She shook her head.

Ji-hoo nodded. "Araso. We'll check on you again in an hour from now, and if you need anything, just ring the bell and one of us will be here to help. But for now, please rest."

Kyung Mi nodded, but continued to stare off, emotionless.

As Ji-hoo carefully closed her door, the resident who was supervising him patted him on the back. "You're doing well, Yoon Ji-hoo, keep it up. And you may take your lunch break now, you have 40 minutes."

Ji-hoo nodded and made his way out of the hospital to one of his favorite nearby gimbap restaurants. When he went inside, he spotted Woo Bin, who spotted him at the same time.

"Ji-hoo!"

When Ji-hoo arrived at his booth, he found Jae Kyung was there too. She smiled and waved, "Annyeong!"

"Sit with us, man!" Woo Bin gestured to Ji-hoo. "We already ordered, and it's the same thing we always get."

Ji-hoo smiled, but shook his head politely. "It looks like you guys are here on a date, and I don't want to interrupt."

"C'mon, sit with us! It won't kill you!" Jae Kyung insisted, then stood up and forced Ji-hoo to sit down next to Woo Bin, who looked slightly amused.

The food arrived immediately after that. "Excuse me sir, but could we get an extra plate?" Woo Bin asked the waiter.

The waiter looked at Ji-hoo for a few seconds, as if contemplating something, but then nodded and walked away, coming back with a plate within seconds.

"So how are you these days?" Woo Bin asked Ji-hoo. "We barely see you anymore, Mr. Workaholic!" he joked, as he ate one slice of gimbap.

Ji-hoo chuckled. "Shouldn't you be telling Jun-pyo that?"

Woo Bin chuckled as well. "Ah, I guess. But even then, we still see him a lot more than we see you!"

"You're an intern at the hospital, right?" Jae Kyung asked Ji-hoo, who nodded. "I don't know much about doctors and stuff, but what's next?"

Both guys looked slightly amused with her question, and Ji-hoo replied, "Soon I'll get my license. I still need to complete 4 years of residency before I can be considered a 'real' doctor."

"Ah.." Jae Kyung nodded, but looked confused.

After that they had conversations involving their personal lives, a few complaints about work, and what they wished for. Time flew by quickly, and before Ji-hoo knew it, he had 3 minutes before the end of his lunch time.

"Oh, I have to go now!" Ji-hoo announced and stood up, before giving Woo Bin a tip. "Thank you for lunch, I'll see you guys later?" he smiled, and ran off before they could respond. On his way out the door, he accidentally collided into somebody, who fell in response.

"I'm so sorry." he bowed and lended a hand to the woman, but not before realizing who the woman was. His eyes widened.

'Min Seo-hyun...'
