Hello, I just joined this adventure of writing because I was not satisfied with the way the series played out. And I also got inspiration from my favorite authors, especially Nerwen T and Mandy. These are the people who inspired me to write. This story will start from episode five where Ji Hoo returns from Paris and asks Jan Di if she would date him behind Gu Jun Pyo's back.

Jan Di stood still, looking at Ji Hoo, dumbfounded at his question. It was as if time had stood still and all the noise around them had faded into silence. She could feel her heart racing, unsure of how to respond to Ji Hoo's unexpected inquiry. The weight of his words hung in the air, creating an intense moment of anticipation between them, and her eyes grew wide, searching for any signs of sincerity.
What was wrong with him? Didn't he go to Paris to pursue the love of his life? And now that he was back after two weeks, he was asking her this? Jan Di couldn't help but feel a mix of confusion and frustration bubbling up inside her. She had spent countless nights thinking about Ji Hoo and their complicated friendship, wondering if there could ever be something more between them. But now, faced with his direct question, she found herself at a loss for words. As she stared into his eyes, memories of their first shared dance. How he rescued her from being raped by the boys Gu Jun Pyo had sent to her. The handkerchief he had given her to clean herself up after the incident. All these moments flooded her mind, making her heart ache with bittersweet longing. She realized that Ji Hoo had always been there for her, offering support and protection, and she couldn't deny the deep connection they shared. Yet she also feared risking his friendship with the F4, especially Gu Jun Pyo, by confessing her true feelings.
And when she didn't respond to his question, he approached her as she took a step back, hitting the brick wall of the balcony. Ji Hoo then stood in front of her, his body brushing against hers as he ran his hand gently over her cheek as she closed her eyes, leaning into his touch. It was pure bliss to have her first crush—her first love this close to her, having his warm hand touch her face, his body next to hers, and breathing in the same air. This was a dream come true for her—a dream she thought was impossible until this very moment. She had spent countless nights imagining what it would be like to be this close to Ji Hoo, never thinking it would happen. But here they were, in a stolen moment of intimacy that surpassed all her wildest fantasies. It was a surreal experience, one that she wished could last forever.
"Will you go out with me? Behind Gu Jun Pyo's knowledge?" He asked more softly, leaning closer to her face. Her heart skipped a beat as his words hung in the air. The thought of being Ji Hoo's secret, forbidden love sent shivers down her spine. It was a dangerous proposition, but the allure was too strong to resist.
With a trembling voice, she whispered her answer, "Yes, Sunbae. I'll go anywhere with you, even if it means defying all odds." Their eyes locked in a passionate gaze, sealing their pact in that stolen moment. Little did they know that this decision would set off a chain of events that would challenge their loyalty and test the limits of their love. But for now, they reveled in the blissful ignorance of what lay ahead, cherishing every second of their clandestine connection.
"How about we have dinner tonight?" he suggested, flashing her the irresistible smile that would get him anything. "Get to know each other. What do you think?"
She couldn't resist his charm, and with a twinkle in her eye, she agreed. The anticipation of their evening together filled her with excitement and nervousness. Then what surprised her was that Ji Hoo leaned in and kissed her cheek gently, sending a rush of warmth through her body. The simple gesture spoke volumes about his affection for her.
"I will come and pick you up. You should be ready by 7," Ji Hoo said with a playful wink, walking away from the stairwell, leaving her with a foolish grin on her face. She nodded, her heart fluttering at the thought of spending more time with him. When he was out of sight, she said, "Yes!" She released a scream of excitement, unable to contain her joy. The kiss on her cheek had ignited a spark within her, a spark that grew brighter with every passing moment. She couldn't believe that Ji Hoo, the person she had admired from afar for so long, was now showing such affection towards her. It felt like a dream come true—a fairytale unfolding right before her eyes.
"Ga Eul has to help me."
"Ga Eul, you are my best friend. Please keep this a secret for me. I don't want anyone to find out about my date with Ji Hoo Sunbae," Jan Di pleaded because she knew her best friend normally got excited and wasn't good at keeping secrets.
"How about Gu Jun Pyo?" Ga Eul asked with curiosity. "I thought he declared you, his girlfriend."
"I never agreed to it," Jan Di replied, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "It's complicated. I care about him, but my heart belongs to Ji Hoo Sunbae, and you know it well." Ga Eul nodded understandingly. She knew the depth of how her best friend could love and hate if possible, and she had witnessed firsthand Jan Di's unwavering loyalty towards Ji Hoo, apart from when Gu Jun Pyo came in trying to claim Jan Di's heart. Ga Eul knew that Jan Di's heart was a complex maze of emotions, and she hoped that her best friend would find clarity and happiness in her love life.
"What dress are you going to put on?"
"I'm going to buy one."
Ga Eul smiled, knowing that Jan Di always had a knack for finding the perfect dress. "I'm sure you'll find something stunning," she reassured her friend. "Just remember to choose something that makes you feel confident and beautiful."
"Sure, but makeup?"
"Makeup should enhance your natural beauty," Ga Eul advised. "Keep it simple and elegant, focusing on highlighting your best features. A soft, natural look with a touch of color on the lips and a subtle smoky eye would be perfect for you." Ga Eul knew that Jan Di had a radiant smile and captivating eyes that didn't need much enhancement. As they continued discussing the preparations for the special day, Ga Eul couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness for her friend. She knew that love could be both exhilarating and challenging, but she believed in Jan Di's strength and resilience. "You deserve someone who appreciates you for who you are," Ga Eul reminded Jan Di. "Don't settle for anything less than genuine love and respect." Jan Di nodded, grateful for her friend's unwavering support.
Jan Di and Ga Eul sat before the mirror in Jan Di's bedroom, carefully applying her makeup and fixing her hair. The room was filled with laughter and chatter as they shared stories and memories of their friendship. Ga Eul couldn't help but notice the sparkle in Jan Di's eyes, a sign that she was ready to embrace this new chapter in her life.
"Let's see how you look," Ga Eul said, pulling Jan Di off the chair. She was dressed in a stunning, draped, light blue sheer mesh corset with high slits and an embroidered mermaid backless dress with spaghetti straps. The dress exposed the soft white skin of her shoulders and back, as well as her lean thigh, accentuating her delicate features. The dress complemented Jan Di's fair complexion. Ga Eul couldn't help but gasp at the sight of her friend. "You look breathtaking!" she exclaimed; her eyes filled with admiration. Jan Di blushed and twirled around, feeling like a princess in her own fairytale. "How much did you spend on this dress?"
Jan Di laughed with a twinkle in her eyes. "Would you believe me if I told you, it was a bargain find?" She said, her voice filled with excitement. Ga Eul's eyebrows shot up in surprise as she scanned the intricate embroidery and delicate details of the dress.
"No way! It looks like it belongs on a runway," Ga Eul exclaimed, unable to hide her astonishment. Jan Di beamed with pride, her confidence radiating through every step she took. "I got lucky," she confessed, her voice tinged with satisfaction. "I stumbled upon this hidden gem at a vintage boutique downtown. It was tucked away amidst a sea of forgotten treasures."
Ga Eul couldn't help but feel a surge of envy mixed with admiration for Jan Di's impeccable taste and knack for finding hidden gems. As they continued to admire the dress, Jan Di whispered conspiratorially, "And you know what? It's not just the dress that makes me feel like a princess; it makes me feel like I've stepped into a different era altogether. The intricate lace detailing and the delicate embroidery transport me to a time of elegance and grace. It's as if I'm wearing a piece of history, carrying the stories of those who wore it before me. Every time I slip it on, I can't help but imagine the grand ballrooms and lavish parties it must have witnessed. The dress drapes perfectly over my frame, accentuating my curves in all the right places. It's like a second skin, making me feel confident and radiant. With each step I take, I can almost hear the whispers of admiration from onlookers, captivated by its timeless beauty."
"Next time, choose me dresses to wear," Ga Eul said sternly to her best friend.
"Sure, shoes?" Jan Di looked down at her feet, realizing she had forgotten to choose the perfect pair of shoes to complete her stunning ensemble. Ga Eul quickly rushed to her side, determined to find the ideal match. After a few moments of searching, she pulled out a pair of silver stilettos with delicate straps that would perfectly complement the elegance of Jan Di's dress. "These will be perfect," Ga Eul declared with a smile, handing them over to her friend. Jan Di slipped them on, feeling an instant boost of confidence as she towered gracefully in her new heels. With every step she took, the shoes added an extra touch of glamour and sophistication to her already mesmerizing appearance.
Ji Hoo stood just by his car, still admiring the way Jan Di approached him. Everything was happening in slow motion as he watched her confidently stride towards him, her heels clicking against the pavement. The soft glow of the streetlights illuminated her delicate features, making her look even more ethereal. Ji Hoo couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration for Jan Di, who effortlessly exuded grace and poise in every movement she made as if she were blooming just like a lotus flower. Her soft beauty has a uniqueness like that of a lotus bloom.
As she approached, Ji Hoo couldn't help but notice the way her eyes sparkled with determination, reflecting a strength that he found captivating. Her presence was magnetic, drawing him in like a moth to a flame. Jan Di's aura was unlike anything he had ever encountered before—a rare combination of vulnerability and resilience that left him in awe. As they locked eyes, time seemed to stand still, and Ji Hoo felt an inexplicable connection forming between them. At that moment, he knew that Jan Di was not just another person passing through his life; she was a force to be reckoned with, a guiding light in the darkness. And as they stood there, surrounded by the bustling city and the hum of life around them, Ji Hoo couldn't help but wonder what adventures awaited them on this journey called love. As a gentle breeze swept through, causing her hair to dance around her face. The moonlight reflected in her eyes, giving them a mesmerizing sparkle that captivated Ji Hoo's heart. He couldn't help but be drawn to her magnetic presence, feeling as though time had momentarily stood still.
"How do I look in this dress?" she asked shyly, twirling around to show off the flowing fabric. Ji Hoo's breath caught in his throat as he took in her beauty.
"It's not just about the dress; it's about how you wear it," he replied, his voice barely above a whisper. His eyes traced the curves of her body, admiring the way the dress hugged her in all the right places. But it was more than just her physical appearance that had him captivated. It was the way she carried herself with grace and confidence as if she knew she was deserving of all the love and adoration in the world. "You look absolutely stunning," Ji Hoo finally managed to say, his voice filled with genuine admiration.
He reached out to gently tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, his fingertips brushing the bare skin of her shoulder. His touch sent shivers down her spine. At that moment, everything else faded into the background as they stood there, caught up in their own little world. As they continued to gaze into each other's eyes, Ji Hoo couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions overwhelming him. He realized that this wasn't just a fleeting infatuation; it was something more profound. "It's as if I am back at home, watching lotus flowers bloom right before my eyes," Ji Hoo whispered softly, his voice filled with nostalgia. He had never felt such a strong connection with someone before, and it made him believe in the power of fate. At that moment, he knew that their encounter was meant to be like two souls finally finding their way back to each other after a long journey.
"And you are looking very handsome, more so than the first time we met. Do you remember?"
"I didn't think you would remember our meeting so vividly," Ji Hoo replied, a smile playing on his lips.
"I'm hungry; can we go and eat?" Jan Di broke the mood with her innocent request. Ji Hoo chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
"Of course, let's go," he said, offering his arm to her and leading her to the waiting car.
After they arrived, maybe a five-star restaurant appeared in Jan Di's eyes. "I hope Gu Jun Pyo doesn't own this place; otherwise, he might find out."
"This is one of the restaurants that is funded by my company. Here, Jun Pyo doesn't have a say because I own it," Ji Hoo explained with a mischievous smile.
Jan Di couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Gu Jun Pyo's reaction if he were to find out. As they entered the restaurant, the elegant ambiance and mouthwatering aroma of food filled the air. The waiter welcomed them politely and led them to the elevator. "Where are we going?" she whispered.
Ji Hoo smiled and wrapped an arm around her waist, feeling the skin within the see-through fabric of her dress against his fingertips. "I have a surprise for you," he whispered back, his voice filled with excitement.
The elevator doors opened, revealing a breathtaking rooftop garden with twinkling lights and vibrant flowers. Jan Di gasped in awe, her eyes sparkling with delight. Ji Hoo guided her towards a beautifully set table in the center of the garden, surrounded by lush greenery and the soft sound of water trickling from a nearby fountain.
Jan Di forgot all her manners, holding her long dress, and ran towards the garden, twirling around and screaming, "Wow!" The garden seemed like a magical oasis, a hidden paradise in the heart of the city. The scent of blooming flowers filled the air, mingling with the gentle breeze that brushed against her face. She couldn't help but feel a sense of tranquility wash over her as she took in the serene surroundings. The table was adorned with exquisite China and delicate silverware, reflecting the moonlight that bathed everything in a soft glow. But the tranquility broke as she stumbled, missing her step. But before she could fall, Ji Hoo appeared out of nowhere, his strong arms catching her just in time. His arm wrapped around her waist, and another was strongly gripping her back while hers were around his neck as he dipped her down as if they were dancing a waltz in the moonlight.
Their eyes locked, and a spark ignited between them, sending shivers down her spine. Ji Hoo's touch was gentle yet firm, his presence calming her racing heart. As he lifted her back up, their bodies brushed against each other, creating an electrifying connection that neither of them could deny. Time seemed to stand still as they held each other, lost in the moment of unexpected intimacy. The world around them faded away, leaving only the two of them entangled in a dance of emotions. It was a fleeting encounter, but it left an indelible mark on their souls, forever changing the course of their lives.
"Are you hurt?" he asked with genuine concern in his eyes. She shook her head, still breathless from the intensity of their brief but powerful connection. "No, I'm okay," she managed to say, her voice barely above a whisper. They stood there for a moment, catching their breath, and trying to make sense of what had just happened. It was as if the universe had conspired to bring them together at that precise moment, and now they were left with the undeniable truth that their lives were forever intertwined. "
Ji Hoo pulled out a chair for Jan Di, his eyes never leaving her radiant smile. As they sat down, Ji Hoo reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. Jan Di's heart skipped a beat as he opened it to reveal a stunning diamond necklace that glistened under the moonlight. She looked at him, speechless.
"Sunbae," she whispered, her voice filled with emotion, "this is... this is too much."
He smiled tenderly at her and gently placed the necklace around her neck. "This is our first date together. This is a token to say thank you for giving me proper closure with her. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to let her go. You've shown me what true love is, Jan Di. You've taught me that it's not about holding on to the past but embracing the present and building a future together. This necklace symbolizes our connection, a reminder of the strength and beauty that lie within our simple relationship."
As the moonlight danced off the diamonds, Jan Di couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude and love for this man standing before her. She realized that their journey was just beginning, and she couldn't wait to see where it would take them. With tears of joy in her eyes, she leaned in and kissed him softly, knowing that this moment would forever be etched in their hearts.
"It's because of you that I have been able to defeat the cold in my heart. You have shown me warmth and kindness that I never thought I would experience. Your presence has thawed the ice that once consumed me, and now I am filled with a newfound sense of happiness and contentment. Together, we have created an unbreakable bond—a connection that transcends time and space. Thank you, Jan Di-ah."
"According to the dressing of the table, it's a Chinese meal." Jan Di said it with a smile.
"Have you tried Chinese dishes before?" Ji Hoo asked with a smile, genuinely interested in Jan Di's culinary experiences.
"No," she said, shaking her head. "But I would like to try it since it's the one on the menu today and it looks delicious. I'm always open to trying new things, especially when it comes to food. Who knows, maybe I'll discover a new favorite dish!"
Ji Hoo looked behind him, calling the waiter, who stood there waiting for the two to order. Ji Hoo whispered a few words in his ear, and the waiter walked away. Ji Hoo turned back to Jan Di with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I've just asked the waiter to surprise us with a special dish," he said, excitement evident in his voice. "Let's see if it becomes your new favorite!"
Minutes later, the chef came, accompanied by the waiters holding dishes in their hands. The aroma of the food filled the air, making Jan Di's mouth water in anticipation. The chef presented a plate adorned with vibrant colors and an exquisite presentation. "This is Chinese sweet and sour fish cooked with the heart leaf root found in the deepest waters of the sea. It has a unique flavor, and the flavor comes out when it is cooked fresh. Miss Jan Di, please have a taste."
"You know me?" she asked the chef, surprised by the chef's familiarity. The chef smiled warmly and replied, "Your reputation as a wonder girl precedes you, Miss Jan Di. When Mr. Yoon said that he would be dining here with the famous wonder girl, I got into the kitchen and prepared a special dish just for you. This Chinese sweet and sour fish is not like any other you've tasted before. The heart leaf root adds a subtle earthy taste that perfectly complements the tanginess of the sauce. As you take your first bite, the flavors dance on your palate, creating a harmonious symphony of sweet, sour, and umami. The fish itself is tender and succulent, cooked to perfection so that it melts in your mouth. Every ingredient has been carefully selected to create a culinary masterpiece that showcases the wonders of Chinese cuisine. It's no wonder why this dish has become a favorite among our esteemed guests. So please indulge yourself in this gastronomic delight and let your taste buds be transported to the depths of the sea where this exquisite ingredient originates from."
"Thank you, kind sir," she replied with delight, taking a bowl of rice, and taking in her first bite of the dish. The flavors exploded in her mouth, a harmonious blend of umami, sweetness, and a hint of spiciness. The tender pieces of seafood danced on her tongue, perfectly complemented by the delicate crunch of fresh vegetables.
"How is it?" Ji Hoo asked Jan Di, admiring every expression she had on her face. "Is it good?" Jan Di's eyes widened in amazement as she savored the complex flavors of the dish.
With a smile, she nodded and exclaimed, "It's absolutely divine! The combination of flavors is unlike anything I've ever tasted before. Truly a culinary masterpiece!"
"Thank you, Ms. Jan Di. We hope to see you here more often." The chef said so, smiling. "We can now put this dish on the menu and share its unique flavors with all our customers. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we're thrilled that you enjoyed it so much. Please enjoy your meal with Mr. Yoon." The chef bowed and left the rooftop.
"Does this mean we were the first to taste this dish?" she asked, her eyes twinkling with delight after their dinner.
"Before a dish is put on the menu, I have to first approve of it," he replied. "And I trust your taste buds more than anyone else's," he added with a playful wink. "So yes, you were the very first to experience this culinary masterpiece." Ji Hoo spoke proudly of his team.
"Thank you, Sunbae. I guess now I have my new favorite dish!" Jan Di exclaimed, her smile widening. "The flavors were absolutely divine, and the presentation was exquisite. I can't wait to come back and try more of your creations." Ji Hoo beamed with pride at her words, knowing that all his hard work had paid off.
…
"This place is nice," Jan Di commented, rising from her seat, and walking to the glass balcony. The breathtaking view of the city skyline stretched out before her, adding to the overall ambiance of the rooftop. Jan Di couldn't help but feel a sense of tranquility wash over her as she took in the stunning scenery.
"Yes, it is." Ji Hoo joined her on the balcony, but instead of looking out to the city, his eyes were on her, taking in her appearance. He couldn't help but admire how the soft glow of the city lights reflected in her eyes, making them sparkle even more. The moment felt surreal as if time had stood still, and he couldn't help but wonder if this was the beginning of something special between them.
"Jan Di," he said, inching closer to her. He took her by the arm and drew her by his side, their bodies almost touching. His touch sent a shiver down her spine, igniting a warmth within her that she had never felt before. She turned to face him, her heart pounding in her chest, and found herself lost in the depths of his mesmerizing gaze. "Sunbae," she whispered, her voice barely audible. The electricity between them was undeniable, and it filled the air with an intoxicating energy. At that moment, all the worries and troubles of the world seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them in their own little universe. Without thinking, Ji Hoo leaned in closer, his lips mere inches away from hers. The anticipation was overwhelming as their breaths mingled and time seemed to freeze once again. And then, finally, their lips brushed. It was like fireworks exploding in the night sky—a burst of emotions that neither of them could contain any longer.
"I don't...um...I mean, I don't know how to do that...kissing." Jan Di said shyly as Ji Hoo ran his fingertips over her back and arms, making her shiver.
"I will teach you how to do it," he replied, drawing her in more tightly. "Do you want to learn?"
Jan Di's heart raced as she looked into Ji Hoo's eyes, her cheeks flushing with a mix of excitement and nervousness. She nodded her voice barely a whisper. At that moment, she trusted him completely, knowing that he would guide her through this new experience with patience and tenderness. As their bodies pressed closer together, Jan Di felt a surge of anticipation coursing through her veins.
"Relax and close your eyes," he spoke softly, his caresses on her skin intensifying the electricity between them. Jan Di's breath hitched as she followed his instructions, surrendering herself to the unknown.
His hand traveled to her neck, lightly caressing it, and then to her face, angling it towards his. His warm breath tickled her lips as he whispered, "Trust me." With every word, Jan Di's heart raced faster, her body trembling with a mixture of excitement and vulnerability. She could feel the weight of his gaze on her closed eyelids and the intensity of his desire radiating through the air. Slowly, his lips brushed against hers, a gentle touch that sent sparks of fire through her body. It was a kiss filled with promise and possibility, a connection that transcended words. As their mouths moved in sync, Jan Di felt herself being transported to a realm where time stood still and only their love existed. His hands explored every inch of her body, leaving trails of fire in their wake. Each touch ignited a flame within her, awakening desires she never knew existed.
Ji Hoo, on the other hand, felt as if he were floating on a cloud, his heart soaring with every beat. Jan Di's lips were soft and warm against his, and he couldn't help but get lost in the sensation. It was a moment of pure bliss, where all the worries and troubles of the world faded away. He could feel her love for him radiating through their connection, and it filled him with a sense of contentment he had never experienced before. As their bodies pressed closer together, Ji Hoo could feel the intensity of their passion growing like a wildfire that threatened to consume them both. At that moment, there was nothing else that mattered except for the bond that was blooming, and as he attempted to deepen the kiss, they both felt a vibration from her clutch back pocket. Startled, they pulled away from each other, their hearts racing with curiosity and concern. She reached into her clutch and pulled out her vibrating phone, breaking the spell of their intimate moment.
"It's Gu Jun Pyo; he is asking where I am right now."
"Turn it off," Ji Hoo suggested immediately, his voice filled with urgency. "We deserve this time together, away from the chaos of our lives." She nodded in agreement, her eyes still locked with his. With a sigh, she silenced her phone and placed it back into her clutch, determined to ignore any further interruptions.
"Tomorrow we'll be going to New Caledonia. I hope we don't stop seeing each other even when we're surrounded by the beauty of the island," Ji Hoo whispered, his fingers gently tracing circles on her hand. She smiled softly, reassured by his words, knowing that their connection would remain strong no matter where they were.
"How I wish we don't go." She responded shyly, bringing her arms around his neck. Ji Hoo chuckled softly; his eyes filled with affection.
"I understand your reluctance, but let's embrace this adventure together. We'll create unforgettable memories amidst the enchanting landscapes of New Caledonia," he said, planting a tender kiss on her forehead. "I hope you didn't tell anyone we are seeing each other secretly. I wouldn't want anyone to spoil the magic of our journey." Ji Hoo whispered; his voice filled with secrecy.
"No one knows."
"Good, because I want to first build a strong foundation before this comes out in the open," Ji Hoo continued, his eyes filled with determination. "I believe that by keeping our relationship private for now, we can focus on nurturing our connection and building a love that will withstand any challenges that may come our way."
"OK," Jan Di replied, kissing his cheek gently. "I understand the importance of taking things slow and ensuring that our bond is solid before involving others. Let's cherish this special time together and let our love grow organically, away from prying eyes." Ji Hoo smiled warmly, grateful for Jan Di's understanding and support.
"And one more thing," he said, kissing her nose, "I'm sorry about the time I yelled at you when I was stressed out when I overheard you and Seo Hyun speaking and then kneeling before her, begging for her to stay with me instead of choosing you. It was a moment of weakness and confusion, and I deeply regret my actions."
"It's all right, I already forgave you," she replied intertwining their hands and giving him a reassuring squeeze. "We all make mistakes, Ji Hoo. What matters is that we learn from them and grow together."
"Thank you…" he said, running the back of his knuckles gently over her round cheek. "I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I promise to make it up to you."
"How?" she replied, smiling. "How will you make it up to me?"
"Name it," he drew her closer pressing himself on the balcony while she leaned into him. "I have various ways; there is kissing you hard, or I can…you know…make love to you," he whispered, his voice filled with desire. Ji Hoo's words hung in the air, creating a tension between them that was palpable. He could feel her heart racing against his chest as they stood there, their bodies inches apart. She looked up at him, her eyes searching his face for sincerity.
"I want more than just physical gestures," she said softly. "I want us to truly connect, to understand each other on a deeper level." Ji Hoo nodded, understanding the depth of her request.
"I will open myself up to you completely," he vowed. "I will share my fears, my dreams, and my vulnerabilities with you. I want us to build a foundation of trust and emotional intimacy." A smile spread across her face as she listened to his words.
"That's what I want too," she admitted. "To be able to rely on each other, to support one another through thick and thin." He gently brushed his lips on hers softly, not daring to deepen the kiss.
"I will drop you home."
"Sure,"
That was my first chapter.
