Chapter 17 The Media

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters from the BBF drama. Han Eun Jae and Choi Seong are mine though. Too bad they're not F4 :D

I'm sorry for the grammar mistakes. Here is another chapter. Enjoy :)

Jan Di was walking out of a classroom when she saw Eun Jae talked to some students. She wanted to call her name, but she refused to draw any more attention than she had already got because of the argument at the volunteer event. She hadn't thought about it the day before because of too many dramas that had happened then. However, now that everything had almost cleared out, she couldn't find enough distraction to keep her mind off the whispers and the stares.

Jan Di tried over and over again to ignore the gossips, but it was as hard as not hearing those whispers. The harder part was the stares that seemed like they said that she wasn't belong there. She sighed and tried to ignore them. She was so lost in thought, so she didn't realize Eun Jae was calling her name for a couple of minutes. Jan Di finally realized her friend's presence when Eun Jae tapped her shoulder. Jan Di turned and found a smile on Eun Jae's face.

"Hey you," Eun Jae greeted nicely.

"Hey," Jan Di replied weakly with weak smile on her face.

Eun Jae frowned, hearing and seeing Jan Di's reply. However, she finally realized what was bothering her friend. "They're awful, huh?" she asked understandingly.

Jan DI sighed. "I'm just not used to them. It's the price to pay for stepping out of the status quo, I guess," she replied trying to sound nonchalant, but she failed miserably.

"There's nothing wrong with your relationship with Joon Pyo-ssi. They're just jealous bitches," Eun Jae cursed harshly.

"I know. I shouldn't feel bothered by them, but I just can't turn blind eyes and deaf ears to them," Jan Di responded.

Eun Jae put her hand on Jan Di's shoulder and patted it affectionately. "Don't worry. The gossips will die out eventually. They will fade," she tried to convince her.

Before Jan Di could reply Eun Jae's statement, her cell phone rang in her pocket. Jan Di fished the noisy thing out of her jeans pocket. She saw Joon Hee's face on the screen and answered the call. "Hello, unni," she greeted Joon Hee.

"Jan Di!" Joon Hee's voice sounded excited. "Can I meet you right now?"

"Meet you? Where? I thought you were supposed to be on your flight to Japan," Jan Di replied wonderingly.

"Not yet. The private jet will be ready after lunch, so I wanted to meet you before I go to the airport," Joon Hee explained. "I'm at the west courtyard right now. Can you come here?"

"Of course I'll go, unni. Wait for a minute, okay?" she said before hanging up the call. She turned her attention back to Eun Jae. "Are you busy now? What about accompany me to the west courtyard?" Jan Di asked her.

"No problem," Eun Jae said before following Jan Di.

When they arrived at the west courtyard, Jan Di couldn't believe her eyes seeing all of the students who were lingering there. It seemed like they were trying to catch a glimpse of Joon Hee who was practically surrounded by her bodyguards. Jan Di prepared herself for the upcoming stares and whispers before stepping out of the building. Some of the students were aware of her presence, but most of them were still looking at Joon Hee. The bodyguards simultaneously bowed when they saw Jan Di was coming. That made the attention of the students shifted to her immediately.

Jan Di tried to act as if she didn't care for all of that attention. She greeted Joon Hee who was hugging her immediately as soon as she was within her reach. "I'm sorry about the gossips. I heard them when I arrived a few minutes ago," Joon Hee whispered at Jan Di's ear sympathetically.

Jan Di grimaced at her. "I'm trying to cope, unni. Hopefully, I can be used to that as soon as possible," she answered bravely, trying not to worry Joon Hee more. "Oh yeah, this is my friend, Han Eun Jae," she continued.

Joon Hee smiled warmly at Eun Jae's direction when she finally realized Eun Jae's stunned expression. "Umm.. Hello," she tried to greet with friendly voice even though she felt slightly confused.

"Uhh.. uh.. Hello," Eun Jae stuttered.

Jan DI frowned seeing her friend acted like that. Eun Jae hadn't even looked that stunned the first time she had seen the F4. "Are you alright, Eun Jae?" she asked with concerned voice.

It seemed like the question sobered Eun Jae up. She turned her eyes to Jan Di. "Oh, yeah. I'm fine," she replied, still sounded stunned. "It's just, I really really really admired you, Joon Hee-ssi," she added to Joon Hee with clear admiration.

Jan Di and Joon Hee looked surprised when they heard her confession. "Really? Wow, I'm flattered. It's rare to hear such an honest admiration like that," Joon Hee admitted.

"It's nothing. But I'm really glad that I can meet you," Eun Jae replied.

"Thank you. But, may I ask why you admire me like that?" Joon Hee asked curiously.

"I admire you for your effort to help the research for cancer," Eun Jae started. "I read about your hard work to plan all of that benefit dinners, balls, and parties to raise fund to help the research."

"Really?" Joon Hee asked in disbelief. Many people admired her, but mostly because of her beauty or her work with Shinhwa or simply because she was a member of Shinhwa family.

Eun Jae nodded her head. "Yeah. I had a grandpa that really loved me. He died because of lung cancer almost ten years ago," she explained. "That is one of my reasons of studying at Medical Faculty. I want to be oncologist. That's why I really pay attention and admire your work," she said firmly.

Jan Di was stunned hearing the explanation. She never knew that Eun Jae possessed such ambition. "I never knew that," Jan Di admitted.

Eun Jae chuckled. "It's not something that I often talk about. Not many people know that. Besides, I'm still in my third year after all. There's still a really long way to go," she responded.

"And I'm sure you'll be a really fine oncologist," Joon Hee commented. "If you care enough about cancer like this, you'll be a great doctor."

"I hope so. Thank you," Eun Jae said modestly.

Joon Hee turned to Jan Di. "I can't stay long. I just want to give you this," she said giving a velvet box to Jan Di.

Jan Di stared at the box suspiciously. She was pretty sure that the box contained jewelry. "What is it?" she asked warily.

Joon Hee rolled her eyes seeing the reluctance in Jan Di's expression. "It's something that you should have and must have," she said reaching out to Jan Di's hands. She forcefully put the box on them making Jan Di had to hold them. "Come on, open it," Joon Hee said excitedly.

Jan Di opened the box and prayed that it didn't content something too outrageous. She found a simple necklace with a really beautiful pendant. It didn't look that extravagant, but there was elegance on it. The pendant was some kind of a symbol that looked familiar to Jan Di. She finally realized what that was. "Is this..?"

"The Shinhwa necklace," Joon Hee confirmed Jan Di's suspicion. "I'm sure you've heard of that," she added which was answered with a nod by Jan Di. "Joon Pyo is supposed to be the one who give it to you, but I was the one who ordered it. So, I took the liberty to give it to you," Joon Hee explained kindly.

Jan Di was speechless. "I don't know what to say," she breathed.

"You don't have to say anything. Just accept it and promise me that you'll wear it for the right occasion."

Jan Di smiled and nodded. "Thank you, unni," she said gratefully.

"You're very welcome. You're already a sister to me. We don't really need a piece of paper to tell me that. In our heart, Joon Pyo's and mine at least, you're already a Shinhwa," Joon Hee convinced her affectionately.

"Thank you very much. Those words are really miracle workers for this shitty day," Jan Di admitted.

Joon Hee smiled understandingly. "Don't forget my advices. Be careful and trust each other. And don't forget communication!" she said. "Hang tough, Jan Di," she said and pulled Jan Di into another tight hug.

"Thank you, unni," Jan Di replied again.

Joon Hee released Jan Di. "I have to go. The jet will have to take off in an hour," she informed Jan Di before turning to Eun Jae. "I hope we can meet again later," she said shaking Eun Jae's hand.

"Yes, I really hope so," Eun Jae replied enthusiastically.

Joon Hee hugged Jan Di again and kissed her cheeks. "I'll come back for the engagement party," she assured her.

"Okay. Thank you so much, unni, for everything," Jan Di said before Joon Hee finally walked away from them.

In the mean time, Joon Pyo was reading through some reports at his office when Secretary Jung suddenly opened the door. Joon Pyo looked up from the reports and found Secretary Jung's tense expression. "What is it?" Joon Pyo asked.

"The Public Relation Manager is asking for your audience right this time, Young Master," Secretary Jung replied quickly.

Joon Pyo frowned. "Send him in," he ordered which was obeyed by Secretary Jung immediately. A middle aged man stepped into the office. He bowed to Joon Pyo. "Please sit down," Joon Pyo offered simply.

"I'm sorry to bother, Goo Joon Pyo-sajangnim. But, this matter is really urgent," the manager said politely.

"What is the matter, Kim Seok Jong-ssi?" Joon Pyo asked grimly seeing the seriousness in the Kim Seok Jong and Secretary Jung's faces.

"We just found some articles this morning. Apparently the media just discovered a live journal blog from some students at Shinhwa University. The articles are regarding an engagement between you and a Miss Geum Jan Di, Sir," Kim Seok Jong explained.

Joon Pyo grimaced hearing this. Even though he had expected something like this after that awful argument, he still hoped that the words didn't get out when the media hadn't bothered them the day before. "How bad is it?"

Kim Seok Jong looked shocked when he saw that Joon Pyo didn't look surprised and acted pretty calm. "Some reporters are trying to enter this building, but the security guards can hold them. A few reporters tried to enter the university as well, but the university doesn't let them to," Kim Seok Jong reported.

"What?" Joon Pyo yelled. When he saw Kim Seok Jong was ready to continue his report, Joon Pyo stopped him. "Hold up," he ordered before standing up from his seat. He pulled out his cell phone from his pocked and dialed a number. "Soo Kyun?"

"Yes, Young Master," Soo Kyun answered from the phone.

"Report the situation," Joon Pyo ordered.

"The situation is pretty much under control, Sir. The security guards of Shinhwa Headquarters are doing their job well. Not a single reporter can breach the security. And your teams are ready as well if the situation get worse," Soo Kyun reported calmly.

"And Jan Di?" Joon Pyo asked impatiently. In his mind, the most important thing was Jan Di didn't get swamped by reporters. He could handle reporters, but he didn't want Jan Di had to handle them on her own.

"All is fine, Sir," Soo Kyun tried to assure Joon Pyo. "The university won't let the reporters to enter their ground. And Miss Geum Jan Di's team is ready to step in if they are needed to."

"Good. Keep that up and don't forget to report to me," Joon Pyo said in relief. "And prepare a couple of teams to guard Jan Di's house and her parents' shop," he added.

"Certainly, Sir," Soo Kyun answered readily before Joon Pyo hang up the call.

Joon Pyo turned his attention back to the manager who clearly had been listening to his phone conversation. "Continue, Kim Seok Jong-ssi," Joon Pyo ordered while he was still standing up.

"Okay, Sir," the manager started. "But, if you don't mind me asking, the engagement is real then, Sir?" he asked carefully.

"Yes, the engagement is real," Joon Pyo answered clearly.

The manager looked surprised. "Do you want me to prepare a confirmation statement, Sir?"

Joon Pyo thought about the idea first. "Yes, prepare that, but don't give it to the reporters without my consent," he said firmly.

"Certainly, Sir," the manager agreed instantly. Before he could continue, his phone rang. "Excuse me, Sir," he said to Joon Pyo before answering the call. "Yes? Are you sure? Okay!" he said to the phone before turning back to Joon Pyo. "I'm sorry, Sir. That was one of my staff. He reported that there is news in the television regarding this matter, Sir."

"Turn on the TV," Joon Pyo ordered. He took his seat back and turned it to the direction of the flat screen. Secretary Jung turned the television on.

"Engaged!" The first MC said excitedly. "What do you think about this news? Do you think it's true or some kind of rumor and gossips?" he asked the second MC.

"I think it's true. Just look at the beginning. The first source for this matter is just a blog of live journal. The owner didn't even point out about the Goo Joon Pyo's statement. He just wrote the news briefly," the second MC's voice was sounded when the picture of the blog in question was showed on the screen. The words about Joon Pyo's statement were highlighted. "I mean, if he just wanted to start some kind of rumor, he wouldn't mention the news that way. He would've sold that to media," he added. "Besides, the blog stated that it was Goo Joon Pyo himself who claimed Miss Geum Jan Di as his fiancée."

"Yes, but the girl's identity made the people shocked. I mean, after the brief engagement of Goo Joon Pyo and Ha Jae Kyung a few years ago, who would've thought Goo Joon Pyo being engaged to a simple girl like Miss Geum Jan Di here. People thought that he would find another heiress to be his fiancée," the first MC pointed out when Jae Kyung and Joon Pyo's pictures were showed on the screen. "Instead he claimed a fourth-year student of Medical Faculty at Shinhwa University as his fiancée. What do you think?"

"I think that's one of the proofs that this news is real," the second MC stated. "If it's just rumor, I thought the girl would've been an heiress or some actrees or models. Seeing that Miss Geum Jan Di is neither one of those, I think that the engagement is real."

"That's kinda right," the first MC agreed chuckling. "But Shinhwa is being really tight-lipped about this. And to be honest, I think they almost looked shocked. I mean if this Miss Geum Jan Di is really Goo Joon Pyo's girl, Shinhwa should've known her existence even before the engagement, right?"

"About Shinhwa being tight-lipped, I don't think that's strange. Companies in their situation would do the same thing. But, about they looked shocked, it kinda looked suspicious, yeah," the second MC replied.

"Oh! We just got a news feed from our reporters who were waiting outside Shinhwa University," the first MC looked really excited. "They said that Goo Joon Hee's car just left the university ground and the rumor is she was meeting Miss Geum Jan Di. Do you think it confirms the news?" he asked the second MC.

"What the hell noona was doing there?" Joon Pyo yelled seeing the news. "Call noona and find out!" he ordered to Secretary Jung who immediately pulled out his cell phone. Joon Pyo was dialing Soo Kyun's number himself. "Soo Kyun? Prepare Jan Di's team to pick her up and bring her to a safe place," he ordered immediately before a thought suddenly came to his mind. "Bring Jan Di to base camp!" he corrected. Soo Kyun agreed immediately. "I'll call Jan Di to let her know."

After Joon Pyo hang up the call, he dialed Jan Di's number.

Jan Di was still talking to Eun Jae after Joon Hee left. They were sitting at one of the benches when she felt that the students who were lingering there increased. She frowned before turning to Eun Jae. "Why do you think they suddenly get interested to see me?" she whispered to her friend.

Eun Jae grimaced together with Jan Di. "You can't exactly blame them. CEO of the company who practically owns this university just declared that you were his fiancée. Of course they'll want to know what you look like."

"I know. I mean why are they suddenly increasing? Joon Pyo said the statement two days ago. They didn't pay this much attention to me yesterday. Why do they pay attention to me now?" Jan Di asked still not understanding.

"Oh, don't you hear? There's this one blog that stated about Joon Pyo-ssi's declaration of you being his fiancée. This blog is kinda a hit and other students who weren't at the volunteer event found out about you," Eun Jae explained.

Jan Di groaned. "Why can't they just let it go?" she said more to herself than to Eun Jae.

"If I were you, I'd be more worried about reporters," Eun Jae pointed out. "I'm kinda surprised that you're not surrounded by them yet."

Jan Di gasped. "Do you really think that reporters will want this news too?" she asked skeptically.

"Of course. Jan Di, do you realize who your fiancé is?" Eun Jae asked rhetorically and made Jan Di scowled. "Joon Pyo-ssi is the heir and CEO of the biggest company at Korea. He's famous not only here, but also in the economic section of the world."

"I know that," Jan Di interrupted scowling. "I just still don't understand why the reporters would want to know about me."

"You're his fiancée. In the future you'll be the mother of Shinhwa heir. Of course they would want to know you," Eun Jae pointed out.

Jan Di felt her face heated at the mention of Shinhwa heir. "But that's still waaaayy into the future."

Eun Jae sighed. She never realized how stubborn her friend was. "Just be careful. I'm pretty sure that the reporters will try to find you."

Jan Di's cell phone rang right after Eun Jae said those words. Jan Di pulled it out of her pocket and found Joon Pyo's face flashing on the screen. "Hey," Jan Di greeted.

"Jan Di." The way Joon Pyo called her name made Jan Di worried. "Can you skip your afternoon classes?" he asked to the point.

"What? Why?" Jan Di asked back. She didn't understand why she would do that.

"The reporters have been trying to enter the university.."

"WHAT?" Jan Di interrupted Joon Pyo's words.

"Yeah, the reporters are at the front gate. The university security is doing good job restraining them, but I don't know until when they can do that. Please, can you skip the class?" Joon Pyo practically begged.

Jan Di grimaced and groaned. "Okay fine. What's the plan?"

"Your bodyguards will find you. Just stay where you are now. They will pick you and take you to base camp. I'll meet you there, okay?" Joon Pyo explained.

Jan Di sighed. "Okay," she answered weakly.

"Be careful, baby. See you in about an hour," Joon Pyo said before hanging up the call.

Jan Di scowled at her phone. Eun Jae saw her expression and asked. "That was Joon Pyo. He said that I will have to skip today class because the reporters are already at the front gate," Jan Di explained.

"Really?" Eun Jae asked looking sympathetic to Jan Di. "What's the plan?"

"My bodyguards will come and pick me up.." before Jan DI could finish her sentence, two people in black suits suddenly appeared in front of her. Eun Jae and Jan Di startled seeing them.

The two people bowed to Jan Di. "Miss Geum Jan Di, my name is Cho Ha Yeon. I'm the head of your team," the female one introduced herself. "We're here to pick you up. Did Young Master tell you about this, Miss?"

"Hm.. Yes, he told me," Jan Di answered awkwardly. "We have to go now?"

"Yes, Miss Geum Jan Di. The cars are already waiting at back gate," Cho Ha Yeon informed her.

"Okay," Jan Di said weakly. She stood up and tried to pick up her books before the male bodyguard interrupted her.

"Don't worry, Miss Geum Jan Di. I can bring them," he said politely.

Jan Di frowned. She suddenly felt bad. Not only they would pick her up and drove her, but also they would bring her books. That was too much for her commoner's mind. Jan Di turned her head back to Eun Jae. "I'm sorry I have to go," she said grimacing.

Eun Jae smiled sympathetically before hugging her friend. "Be careful, Jan Di."

Jan Di left the courtyard with two bodyguards at each of her side. The whispers and the stares were getting worse around her. She tried really hard to block them out. When they were walking through the corridor, Jan Di saw her favorite professor walking from the opposite. She bowed to him respectfully. "Professor Park," she greeted politely before her eyes caught another student behind Professor Park. The student was Choi Seong Jo who was scowling at her.

"Ah, Geum Jan Di. I'm glad I meet you here. I want to talk to you.." Professor Park started to say before his eyes flickered to two bodyguards beside her. "Oh, maybe I can talk to you after class later," he added changing his mind.

Jan Di grimaced. "I'm sorry, Professor Park. But, it seems like I can't attend today class," she said glancing at Cho Ha Yeon.

Cho Ha Yeon caught Jan Di's glance before bowed to the professor. "I'm sorry, Sir. Miss Geum Jan Di has to leave because of the reporters. They're trying to enter the university ground. It will be best if Miss Geum Jan Di gets out of here as soon as possible," Cho Ha Yeon explained politely.

"Oh yeah," Professor Park muttered. "Well, then maybe you can find me on Monday. I need to talk to you about your paper," he said making Jan Di looked worried. It seemed like he caught her expression and smiled. "Don't worry. I'm just interested in your paper topic. I want to ask you if you want to do some more research to develop your topic," he assured her.

Jan Di sighed in relief. "Thank you, Professor. I'll think about it and I'll find you on Monday," she answered politely.

"Good.. Good. Now I should go to my office to prepare for my class," he said before walking away from Jan Di. Choi Seong Jo watched her with narrowed eyes before he followed Professor Park.

Jan Di scowled at his back before continued her walk. Cho Ha Yeon saw the scowl and looked concern. "I'm sorry to ask, Miss. But, did he bother you again?" she asked Jan Di carefully.

"What do you mean?" Jan Di turned her head to Cho Ha Yeon.

"Choi Seong Jo. Did he bother you again after the volunteer event?" Cho Ha Yeon repeated her question.

"No," Jan Di answered simply before suddenly she realized something. "You know about that? Did you follow the bus to that village?" she asked warily.

"No, Miss. We got information that Young Master would be there. So, his teams took over the security," Cho Ha Yeon explained.

Jan Di nodded her head. Before she could ask another question, they arrived in front of two black shiny cars. They were identical, making Jan Di realized that those were the cars that Cho Ha Yeon had talked about. Cho Ha Yeon opened the back door of the first car and asked Jan Di to get in the car. After Jan Di got settled, Cho Ha Yeon got into the passenger seat in the front. Then they drove away from the university.

"Cho Ha Yeon-ssi, you were talking about teams. What exactly do they mean?" Jan Di asked when they were on their way.

"The bodyguards of Shinhwa are divided into teams. One team includes six bodyguards each. You have one team to guard you," Cho Ha Yeon explained. "Miss Geum Jan Di, you can call me Ha Yeon," she added.

"Okay. You can call me Jan Di," she replied back. "How many exactly are the teams?" she asked again.

"There are many teams to back up the main teams. The main teams are including your team, The Master's, Misstress', Young Master's, and Young Miss' teams," Cho Ha Yeon explained again.

Jan Di felt a little awkward when she realized that she had been included in the Goo family's security system. "Oh, do they have a team each?" she asked trying to distract herself.

"Normally, they have one or two teams for each of them. But, when they are in the special occasion, they have three teams or more if needed," Cho Ha Yeon explained patiently.

"Special occasion?"

"Yes. Special occasion is the time when they are exposed to public. For example, it was the time when Young Master or Young Miss attends public parties or when Young Master went to the volunteer event," Cho Ha Yeon elaborated.

Jan Di frowned. "So there were three teams who guarded Joon Pyo at the volunteer event?"

"Yes, Miss Geum Jan Di," Cho Ha Yeon answered.

"How exactly did they get to the village?" Jan Di asked curiously. "And you can call me Jan Di," she added.

Cho Ha Yeon smiled. "I'm sorry, Miss Geum Jan Di. I can't call you just by your name. That's one of the bodyguards' rules," she explained. "The teams got there by cars, except one team followed Young Master and got there by another helicopter."

Jan Di frowned again. "How many exactly are there helicopters?" she asked warily.

"The company has one helicopter and the Goo family has one," Cho Ha Yeon informed.

Jan Di grimaced. That information was too much for her commoner's mind. "Thanks for the information," she muttered weakly.

"You're welcome, Miss Geum Jan Di," Cho Ha Yeon responded politely.

Jan Di got out of the car when they arrived at the house that F4 called base camp. The house was practically a mansion with five main parts. The first part was the main part. It contained the living room, the kitchen, the dining room, the office, and the basement. The basement was rearranged to be a game room and gym for F4. The other four main parts were like personal wing for each of the F4 members. Joon Pyo got the west wing, Yi Jeong got the south wing, Ji Hoo got the east wing, and Woo Bin got the north wing.

At the parking lot, Jan Di looked around the parking lot and saw two others identical shiny cars were already parked there. That meant that Joon Pyo had already been waiting at the house. Jan Di walked toward the front door and opened it. She was greeted by loud noises.

"Did he want to die?" Joon Pyo yelled while he was watching television. "Find out everything about him," he ordered Secretary Jung who was standing behind the couch where Joon Pyo was sitting.

"Yes, Young Master," Secretary Jung answered before his eyes caught Jan Di's sight. "Welcome, Miss Geum Jan Di," he greeted Jan Di and bowed to her.

Jan Di nodded at his direction. "Secretary Jung," she greeted him back before she turned his attention to Joon Pyo who was already standing with open arms. She went to his arms and was enveloped in tight embrace instantly.

"Miss you," Joon Pyo mumbled in her neck.

Jan Di pulled away from the hug and glared at Joon Pyo. "What were you mad about?" she demanded explanation.

Joon Pyo turned his head, indicating Jan Di to look at the television. Jan Di followed his eyes and found the image of Choi Seong Jon on the screen. "What the hell is he doing?" Jan Di asked harshly.

"He was bad mouthing you," Joon Pyo answered reluctantly.

"What?" Jan Di yelped.

Joon Pyo sighed. He didn't want Jan Di to know about this. It would just hurt her more. "He talked about how you were always late and tried to get attention from the professors," he mumbled.

"What? I'm gonna kill him," Jan Di yelled emotionally. She was fidgeting and pacing around the living room.

Joon Pyo walked and stood in front of her before pulling her back into his arms. "Don't worry. I'll deal with him. I won't let him or anyone ill-talked you," he promised.

Jan Di screamed angrily. "I never did anything to him. Why did he do something like that?" she cried angrily.

Joon Pyo stroked her back. "Don't worry. I'll make him pay," he said grinding his teeth. He promised to himself that Choi Seong Jo would pay for what he had done.

Jan Di finally calmed down. Joon Pyo was still holding her in his arms. He sat her down on his lap and put his arms around her waist. Jan Di leaned her head on his shoulder. "We need to talk," Joon Pyo finally said seriously.

"Talk," Jan Di mumbled to his chest.

"Hmm.. the reporters will go away after a few days. Don't worry about them. But, we need to make a statement for them. What do you think?" Joon Pyo asked carefully.

"Just tell them the truth," Jan Di said looking slightly confused.

"Yes, of course. But, they'll want to know about our engagement and our plan for the near future," Joon Pyo continued. "Listen, I don't want to give you more pressure, but we need to plan an engagement party. I know that maybe it's too soon.."

"I know. Joon Hee-unni had told me about it," Jan Di replied.

"What?" Joon Pyo yelled. "I told her not to tell you anything weird," Joon Pyo grumbled.

"She also gave me this earlier," Jan Di said pulling out the velvet box that Joon Hee had given to her.

Joon Pyo looked at the box and opened it. "Damn it!" he yelled again when he saw the Shinhwa necklace. "It should be me who give this to you," he said scowling.

Jan Di sighed. "Let's just talk about the party," she reminded him.

Joon Pyo pouted. "Noona ruined everything," he said, groaning. It made Jan Di chuckled. "Fine, let's talk about the party," he finally decided. "We just need to think about the date. We can hold the party at the ballroom at Shinhwa Hotel," he informed Jan Di.

"Okay. So, when do you think we can hold the party?" Jan Di asked back.

"When will you not be busy?"

"When will you not be busy?" Jan Di asked back. "It's you who is always busy."

"Me being busy can be scheduled. Secretary Jung can arrange my activities according to the prior appointment. You, on the other hand, can't be scheduled. You have to follow the university rules," Joon Pyo pointed out.

Jan Di grimaced. "Yeah, that's right," she replied sheepishly. "I'll have my mid test in two months. So, before then I won't be too busy."

"Alright. What about next month?" Joon Pyo offered.

"Sure, no problem."

"I'll inform the manager about this," Joon Pyo said before pulled out his cell phone. He talked to the Public Relation Manager and told him about the confirmation statement.

After Joon Pyo was done talking to the manager, Joon Pyo asked Secretary Jung to order dinner for them. The couple decided to stay at the base camp that night. There were works that had to be done.
