He stood from afar and stared with resentment at the couple; he saw a beaming Jan Di and a grinning Jun-pyo, walking together side-by-side on the soft sands of the beach; he watched as they stopped and exchanged a few words with each other, and scowled when they smiled and neared each other closer and...

He couldn't take it anymore.

His blood boiling, he clenched his fists tightly and trudged threateningly towards the kissing couple and slowly, winded his arm back and punched Jun-pyo on the cheek with strong force, sending him sprawling towards the ground, and leaving Jan Di startled with worry.

"Lee Dae-hyun!" she yelled his name at him angrily, then bent down to a bewildered Jun-pyo, who glared at him.

"You again, what the hell's wrong with you?!"

Dae-hyun bitterly chuckled, then suddenly bent down and punched him again hard on the head, causing Jun-pyo to flinch.

Jan Di pushed Dae-hyun away from Jun-pyo. "Stop it! Why are you doing this?"

He didn't answer her, he didn't even look at her as he smirked at a stunned Jun-pyo, and, taking advantage of his disorientated phase, sat atop him and quickly began brutally beating his face repeatedly, then stood up and stomped on his chest before Jan Di could react.

She shoved him again strongly.

"Stop! Just leave!" she ordered him furiously.

But once again he ignored her, and peered down at a bruised Jun-pyo, who was laying on the ground, wiping blood off his numb lip, not attempting to move. Dae-hyun stared at him with contempt, pondering about something for a few moments before making his next decision.

As if time slowed down, he pulled out from his coat pocket what had seemed to be, what Jan Di saw...

"What are you doing?" she asked him, staring at him suspiciously, then widened her eyes and moved towards Dae-hyun, as he swiftly directed a knife towards...

"NO!" he heard Jan Di faintly scream, as Jun-pyo laid there in shock.


"Wha!"

Dae-hyun silently cried out as he suddenly jolted awake.

He looked around slightly dazed, trying to focus his vision; he was definitely in his own bed, in his own room.

It was just a dream.

Groaning, he fell back in bed.


"He really did that?" Yi-jung asked in surprise, as Jun-pyo nodded with an annoyed expression.

"That idiot tried to steal Jan Di away from me."

Ji-hoo listened on with curiosity.

"Should we all gang up on him and beat him up?" Woo Bin joked, cracking his knuckles, to which Yi-jung and Ji-hoo grinned.

Jun-pyo, thinking, actually considered this. "Hm, maybe we could do that."

Yi-jung laughed. "What's that going to do? We're not in high school anymore, just beating him up wouldn't solve anything."

Jun-pyo sighed, as Ji-hoo spoke up. "You're the head of Shinhwa, Jun-pyo. You can easily expel Lee Dae-hyun from medical school."

"Wouldn't they be at a loss though? I heard he's one of the top medical students in the country." Woo Bin pointed out.

Jun-pyo smirked."Already did it."

"I expelled him earlier today." he answered their questioning looks.

"Okay..." Yi-jung commented after a few seconds of silence. "But will that change anything?"

"You know how close they used to be, Jun-pyo." Woo Bin offered.

"I don't think Dae-hyun is the type of person to just sit back and follow what people tell him, and he obviously really likes Jan Di." Ji-hoo added.

Jun-pyo frowned at his friends' words. They were right; he hated when they were right.

Sighing, he suddenly stood up. "I'm going to talk to Jan Di."


"Meet me at 'Masisseoyo!' for lunch."

A text from Dae-hyun read on Jan Di's phone. She glanced at it and sighed.

"I won't do anything to you, I promise."

Another text came in.

"I just need to tell you something."

As she neared the restaurant, she silently debated with herself whether she should really meet up with him or just turn back and ignore him.

She chose the latter.

As she turned back, she met an upset Dae-hyun face-to-face. "Were you planning on not showing?"

Jan Di maintained an uninterested expression. "I'm here, what do you want to say?"

Dae-hyun frowned seeing her expression. "Do you hate me now or something?"

At her no-response, he sighed. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm done."

"I'm done trying to chase after you."
