Hi, I'm here again with another chapter of this story. I had planned to update sooner but I got caught up when I was working on a new story of mine. In fact, the story is there but I'm still deciding on a suitable title for it.
Disclaimer: I don't own boys over Flowers characters.
The message read:
Jun Pyo, let's meet up and talk. Ji Hoo.
Gu Jun Pyo first considered disregarding Yoon Ji Hoo's offer to meet up, but he eventually decided to go and see what Ji Hoo had in mind to discuss with him. As a result, he ended up composing a response on his phone and emailing it over right away.
Of course, his reply consists of only two words: "Fine" and "Where?"
He didn't have to wait long before Yoon Ji Hoo sent him yet another message. The note this time said, "The theatre in Su Am Arts Center."
Yoon Ji Hoo's appointment with Gu Jun Pyo wasn't something he was in a rush to leave for.
Gu Jun Pyo was taking his time getting ready for his meeting with Yoon Ji Hoo. After all, Ji Hoo is the one who wants to speak with him, not the other way around. As a result, Gu Jun Pyo took his time, even going so far as to take a bath before heading out to meet up with his long-time friend.
…
Yoon Ji Hoo was already midway into an old movie when Gu Jun Pyo finally arrived at the theatre situated on the top floor of the Su Am Arts Center. He wanted to bring Jan Di here for a movie date but for now, he needed to sort out the problems Gu Jun Pyo had caused over his whims. Ji Hoo, an old movie enthusiast, easily divided his attention between the screen and the recently arrived Jun Pyo. However, the auburn-haired F4 member with auburn hair didn't draw attention enough to speak up. It wasn't until Gu Jun Pyo joined him in the audience seat across the aisle that he began to speak.
"How many times have we watched this movie together; do you still remember?" Ji Hoo began trying to break the uncomfortable silence, not in the least surprised when he failed to receive any response from Gu Jun Pyo. But Yoon Ji Hoo didn't let the lack of response from Jun Pyo faze him, so, he continued deliberately in a nonchalant tone of voice. "Hmm… I think we watched the movie together at least 10 times."
"Ya, Yoon Ji Hoo! Get to the point, will you? You didn't ask me to meet you here to reminisce about our childhood days, I'm sure." Gu Jun Pyo finally had it with the way Yoon Ji Hoo is beating around the bush and decided to cut straight to the point.
"Jun Pyo… I'm sorry." Yoon Ji Hoo closed his eyes briefly as he swallowed his pride to apologize to his long-time friend. "I'm sorry that—"
"Do you think saying sorry now would return everything to a clean slate like it was before?!" Gu Jun Pyo responded, his tone sounding both incredulous and demanding at the same time.
"I know it wouldn't change anything, but just—let Geum Jan Di go." Yoon Ji Hoo responded as he addressed his long-time friend with an underlying tone of plea.
The mention of Geum Jan Di's name causes the Gu Jun Pyo to start getting angry, again. No longer in the mood for further conversation, Gu Jun Pyo made a move to leave the theatre. Upon reaching the doorway, Gu Jun Pyo paused in his steps and commented. "11 times—that was the total number of times we had watched the movie together. And if you had remembered that you shouldn't have done what you did in New Caledonia."
"If you don't let her go, l will have to use all my power to protect her." Ji Hoo responded. Not only to protect her but to protect what was happening between him and Jan Di and if they called him selfish, he wouldn't be bothered by it.
With that said, Gu Jun Pyo stepped out of the theatre and leave without a backward glance. Upon the departure of Jun Pyo, Yoon Ji Hoo knew there was nothing else he could do to help the situation at this point. But still, he's going to try harder for the sake of Geum Jan Di if nothing else.
Present...
Jan Di became nervous the moment a beautiful woman in the Gu Mansion asked her to come over. She couldn't help but feel intimidated by the opulence and grandeur of the mansion, unsure of why she was being summoned. As she approached the woman, Jan Di's heart raced with anticipation, wondering what awaited her inside those luxurious walls, but seeing F4 boys and her best friend, Ga Eul, she relaxed a little.
"Maybe this is just a misunderstanding," Jan Di thought to herself, trying to calm her nerves. "Why are we all here?" she asked, sitting next to her best friend.
"I don't know," she replied with a shrug.
"Don't worry, Jan Di," Ji Hoo said, taking her hand in his. "Everything will be sorted out."
And just by seeing their interaction, Gu Jun Pyo fumed with jealousy. He hated the fact that Ji Hoo and Jan Di were in a relationship, and they were showing off not only in front of him but also in front of everyone else. It made him feel like an outsider, fueling his anger even more.
…
"Geum Jan Di," the woman who had invited her, came into the living room, and took a seat next to her, killing the space between her and Ji Hoo. "I'm Gu Jun Pyo's sister, Gu Jun Hee, but you can refer to me as your sister, Uniee."
"Oh!" she exclaimed and rose from her seat. "Is that the reason why you came and sat in between me and Ji Hoo Sunbae?" she asked, not trying to hide her anger. "Why am I not so surprised that the mess Gu Jun Pyo created at school and in my life is being sorted out by you as well?" she added sarcastically.
Jun Hee's smile faltered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. "I understand that you may have reservations about me, but I assure you, my intentions are genuine," Jun Hee replied calmly. "I am here to make amends for what my brother did to you and Ji Hoo."
"By coming rudely to sit in between me and Ji Hoo Sunbae?" Jan Di questioned, her frustration evident in her tone. "I appreciate your intentions, but I can handle my own problems without your interference."
"Jan Di-ah," Ji Hoo said, rising from his seat and taking Jan Di's hand. "Jun Hee Noona is our elder sister; let's hear what she wants to say to us before making any judgments."
Jan Di sighed, reluctantly releasing Ji Hoo's hand. "Fine but make it quick."
"Hey!" Jun Pyo exclaimed, feeling offended by Jan Di's dismissive attitude. "Speak to my sister with respect."
Jun Hee stood and looked at Jan Di directly in her eyes. "Whatever you feel for Ji Hoo is just a fling, right?" she asked.
Jan Di's eyes widened at Jun Hee's bold question, her mind racing to find the right words. Her hands clenched with fury as she struggled to control her emotions. She knew by the look of it that Jun Hee wasn't the wrong person, but all she could see was that she wanted Jan Di to love her brother, Gu Jun Pyo, which was selfish of her. With a determined expression, she responded, "No, it's not just a fling. My feelings for Ji Hoo are deeper than that, but that wasn't a surprise. I should have known why you called me here in the first place, right?"
"Why did you agree to go out with Gu Jun Pyo then?" she asked with a determined voice, her eyes searching for an honest answer.
"Why don't you ask him how he invited me out?" She snapped. "Go on, ask him why he pursued me so relentlessly, even when I made it clear that I wasn't interested. It wasn't my intention to hurt anyone, but sometimes feelings change, and we can't control who we fall for."
"But does Yoon Ji Hoo feel the same way about you?" She questioned; her voice tinged with doubt. "I mean, he went to Paris to follow his first love. Is he over her yet?"
Ji Hoo, upon hearing where the interrogation was going, rose from his seat, knowing that Gu Jun Hee, the sister of Gu Jun Pyo, was trying to divert Jan Di's feelings so they could focus on Jun Pyo. "What is this, Noona?" Ji Hoo spoke up, his voice calm but firm. "I respect you so much, but when it comes to our feelings..." he said this, drawing Jan Di to him. "Outsiders are not allowed to interfere. Jan Di and I have a connection that goes beyond anyone else's understanding." Ji Hoo's words hung in the air, leaving Gu Jun Hee speechless.
"Huh…" she sighed. "Ji Hoo, I'm only trying to get a chance to understand—"
"Understand what?" Ji Hoo interrupted, his eyes searching Jun Hee's face. "You didn't call us here to solve our problems but rather to take your brother's side and push your agenda," Ji Hoo continued, his gaze unwavering. "But Jan Di's heart is not something you can control or manipulate. She deserves to make her own choices, free from any external influence."
"I didn't mean it like that—especially when the relationship between you and my brother began before you could get over your crush on Ji Hoo. Naturally, you would have difficulty rejecting Ji Hoo's advances when they happen."
Turning towards the F2, Gu Jun Hee had a pondering look on her face as she inquired about the opinions of the Don Juan and the Casanova of the F4, over the questionable actions taken by Yoon Ji Hoo in New Caledonia. "In your opinion, though, do you think Ji Hoo is truly trying to make use of Geum Jan Di in an attempt to get over Seo Hyun?"
"Is that how you see me? As someone who is trying to use Geum Jan Di to get over Seo Hyun?" Yoon Ji Hoo asked, his voice laced with a hint of disbelief. "I may have my flaws, but I would never stoop so low." Ji Hoo's voice was filled with a hint of hurt. "I would never use someone like that, especially not Jan Di. I genuinely care about her, and I would never use her as a rebound or to fill the void left by Seo Hyun. My intentions towards Jan Di are sincere, and I want nothing but her happiness." Ji Hoo's words echoed with honesty, leaving the room in contemplative silence.
"I'm not like your brother." With that, Ji Hoo gently took Jan Di's hand and said, "Let's go, Jan Di." He led her away from the mansion.
After the heated confrontation between the F4 and Jun Hee, Ji Hoo, and Jan Di left the mansion angry and rode off aimlessly until, by chance, Ji Hoo parked his motorbike at the Han River bridge. The Han River in Seoul is well known for having one of the most iconic bridges in Da Nang, the Dragon Bridge, which spans the Han River and is shaped like a dragon. At night, the bridge is illuminated with colorful LED lights and has fire and water shows on weekends at 9 p.m. The show lasts for about 15 minutes and is a must-see experience when visiting Da Nang.
"Wow!" Jan Di exclaimed, "I thought this was only for weekends. Did you perhaps do this?" Jan Di asked with a curious expression on her face and her eyes twinkling with excitement.
"Yes, I paid a few bills, and I asked the people in charge to do this for us." Ji Hoo replied. "After what happened at the Gu Mansion, I was in low spirits, and I could see you weren't happy either. I thought it would be a nice surprise for both of us to enjoy this show and lift our moods." Jan Di smiled gratefully at Ji Hoo, feeling touched by his thoughtfulness, but something was weighing on her mind.
"Ji Hoo Sunbae, now that we are alone here, I will ask." Jan Di said, taking his hand in his. "I want to know what happened between Seo Hyun and you when you were in Paris."
"Believe me Jan Di-ah, I tried to hang on to the thought that Seo Hyun and I could make it work, but... it became clear that our relationship was not meant to be. We both realized that we had different dreams and aspirations, and it was best for both of us to part ways. It was a difficult decision, but ultimately, we knew it was for the best." Ji Hoo's voice held a hint of sadness as he spoke, his eyes searching Jan Di's for understanding.
"Did something happen between the two of you…I mean…" Jan Di's voice trailed off shyly with the possibilities of what could have happened between them. "Well, I mean…"
Ji Hoo understood where the question was heading. He looked away, recalling how he and Seo Hyun had done it for the first time when he first arrived in Paris. "It happened," he admitted quietly, looking at her. "The first time I arrived, we were both excited and we...ended up... exploring our feelings for each other. It was a beautiful and intense experience, but ultimately, we realized that our connection wasn't strong enough to sustain a long-term relationship. We decided to remain friends and support each other's happiness." Ji Hoo's voice carried a hint of nostalgia as he shared this intimate part of his past with Jan Di.
"So…" Jan Di cleared her throat, trying to swallow the pain she was feeling. She looked away from him and took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts. "That means you still love her?" she asked, still not ready to meet his gaze.
Ji Hoo hesitated for a moment; his eyes filled with a mix of emotions. He took her face, gently turning it towards him, and looked into her eyes. "Jan Di, what I feel for her is different now," he said softly. "She will always hold a special place in my heart, but I have accepted that we are better off as friends. My love for her has transformed into deep care and respect, and I am genuinely happy for her happiness."
"What about…me?" Her eyes returned to the floor.
"I hope you can look at me when I am talking to you because the words from my mouth may lie, but my eyes will never lie," he replied, gently lifting her chin with his hand. "Jan Di, I only want you to look into my eyes and see the truth—that is the only one that has made my heart flutter since the day I met you. You are important to me, and I want nothing more than to see you happy... by my side."
He ran his thumb over her cheek softly, tracing the curve of her jawline and feeling the warmth of her skin against his touch. Compelled by emotions tracing in her eyes, he traced his tongue over his lips, momentarily lost in the intensity of the moment. "I promise to always be honest with you, Jan Di," he whispered, his voice filled with sincerity. His face came closer to hers, and she felt the anticipation building between them as their lips inched closer. The world around them seemed to fade away, leaving only the electric connection between their souls. "I want our love to be built on trust and transparency because you deserve nothing less."
"Do you mean it?" Her voice came out softer than a whisper, filled with vulnerability and hope. Her eyes searched his, seeking reassurance and confirmation of his words.
"I do," he replied, his voice steady and unwavering. He gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, his touch conveying a tenderness that mirrored the sincerity in his words. "Really," he said once more, his forehead resting against hers, their breaths mingling in the intimate space between them. "I want us to be open with each other, to share our fears and dreams, and to always be honest, even when it's difficult." His words hung in the air, a promise that he was willing to work towards building a love based on trust and transparency.
…
And before she could say anything else, she felt his lips gently brushing against hers in a tender and affectionate kiss. It was a silent affirmation of his commitment to their relationship, leaving her with a sense of comfort and reassurance. The touch of his lips spoke volumes, assuring her that their love would be nurtured and cherished, creating a bond that could withstand any challenges they might face together.
His arm wrapped around her waist, and another held her face, going back and forth as their lips continued to dance in a synchronized rhythm. The warmth of his touch sent shivers down her spine, intensifying the connection between them. At that moment, all worries and doubts melted away, replaced by a profound sense of belonging and contentment.
After breaking the kiss, they gazed into each other's eyes, their breaths mingling in the air, and without knowing who moved first, their lips met once more in an intense kiss, more passionate than the first. Her arms wrapped around his neck as they slowly moved upward toward his hair, tangling her fingers in the soft strands while his hands traveled down her back, pulling her closer to him. The world around them seemed to fade away as they lost themselves in the moment, their bodies pressed together in a perfect fit.
The kiss became slower but remained deep as their tongues touched and withdrew in a sensual dance, leaving them both weak in the knees. Their breaths became heavy, and their hearts pounded in sync with the rhythm of their embrace. Time stood still as they continued to explore each other's desires, completely consumed by the electrifying connection between them.
And once again, Ji Hoo had to break the kiss because his body was losing all sense of control. He needed a moment to catch his breath and gather his thoughts, overwhelmed by the intensity of their passion. He gazed into her eyes, his voice barely a whisper as he confessed, "I need to slow down…otherwise we might lose ourselves completely." He gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, his touch sending shivers down her spine. "I want to savor every moment with you," he added, his voice filled with both longing and restraint while he bit his lower lip, trying to contain his desire. He knew that rushing into things could lead to regrets later, and he wanted their connection to be built on a solid foundation. Taking a deep breath, he continued, "Let's take our time and explore every facet of this love so that we can truly appreciate its depth and beauty."
"Yes, we should head back; I'm sure Ga Eul will scold me this time if I don't go home tonight," she said, chuckling softly. "After this week, we won't have anything holding us back from being together, right?"
He smiled warmly at her, feeling a sense of relief that she understood his perspective. "Absolutely," he replied, intertwining his fingers with hers. "Once we have tied up loose ends and taken the time to fully understand each other, nothing will stand in our way."
"Where have you been, young lady?" Ga Eul began like a mother hen, her hands on her hips and a stern look on her face. "You know you're not supposed to stay out this late without letting me know." "I'm sorry, Ga Eul," Jan Di replied sheepishly, avoiding eye contact. "I lost track of time while I was with Ji Hoo Sunbae." It won't happen again, I promise."
Ga Eul softened her expression, understanding Jan Di's apology. "Just remember to communicate with me next time, so I don't worry. Now go wash up and get me some gossip."
Jan Di nodded and rushed to the bathroom to wash up. She knew her best friend wanted some gossip, which meant something might have happened while she was away. As she splashed water on her face, Jan Di couldn't help but wonder what juicy tidbits Ga Eul was eager to hear about. "I can't tell her the things she did with Ji Hoo while they were at his home," Jan Di thought to herself. She decided to keep that secret to herself, not wanting to cause any unnecessary drama.
"You know what? I'm angry with that—that So Yi Jeong," Ga Eul began as they both settled into the bed.
"What did he do?" Jan Di asked with concern, hoping to provide a listening ear for her friend.
"Do you remember when Gu Jun Pyo wanted to date you?" Ga Eul continued, frustration evident in her voice. "Well, So Yi Jeong dared to flirt with me while he asked me to tell you not to climb the tree you weren't supposed to climb because Gu Jun Pyo is high while you are on the ground," Ga Eul explained, her anger simmering. "Today he came once again, asking me to tell you not to come in between Jun Pyo and Ji Hoo because he believes that you are the reason for their conflict," Ga Eul added, her voice tinged with disbelief. "I can't believe he dared to tell me to control you. Who does he think he is? Does he know what love all is about?"
"Today we argued the mansion," Jan Di informed her friend. "They are trying to tell me that I'm Seo Hyun's rebound and that I should stay away from Ji Hoo. But I won't let them dictate who I can and cannot be with. Love is about following your heart, not listening to others' opinions."
"Well said," Ga Eul replied, nodding in agreement. "Love should never be controlled or dictated by others. It's important to trust your instincts and follow your heart, no matter what anyone else says."
"And I talked with Ji Hoo; he truly told me that he and Seo Hyun are over, and his main focus is on me, and he's developing feelings for me, something he has never felt for Seo Hyun before. It's reassuring to know that our relationship is based on genuine emotions and not influenced by external factors."
"Jan Di-ah, you should hang on to that. Don't let Gu Jun Pyo or his sister influence you, and I will deal with that…that So Yi Jeong guy." She almost spat out. "How dare he?" she said, then her voice softened. "Tell me what happened between you and Ji Hoo Sunbae."
"Nothing big; only some special kisses and sharing a bed, but nothing more than that." Jan Di replied. "He made me dinner, and well..." she tucked strands of hair behind her ear, a slight blush creeping onto her cheeks. "And we almost…but nothing happened."
"Is he…" Ga Eul looked around for a moment before turning back to her friend. "Is he…um…circumcised?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"I don't know…why ask?"
"Because uncircumcised men are very sensitive, especially when they are near the one, they love, have you noticed it with him? Does he bite his lower lip when you...kiss him?" Ga Eul asked, her curiosity getting the best of her. Jan Di's eyes widened in surprise at the unexpected question. She paused for a moment, recalling their intimate moments together. "Now that you mention it, he does bite his lower lip sometimes," she admitted with a shy smile. "It's like he can't help himself when we're close. But why ask this when we are talking about something else?"
Ga Eul shrugged, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Oh, no reason," she replied nonchalantly. "I was just curious if he shows the same signs of affection as someone else, I know." Jan Di's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, but before she could inquire further, Ga Eul swiftly changed the topic, leaving Jan Di pondering over her friend's peculiar question.
"But circumcised men can be sensitive as well, right?" Jan Di pushed further; her curiosity piqued by Ga Eul's previous question.
"They are, but it's different. Uncircumcised men are still natural. They can easily...turn on, and it becomes difficult to maintain their...desire, and that may be the case with your man. He bites his lower lip when he's aroused, right?" Ga Eul suggested it, her tone filled with a mischievous hint.
Jan Di blushed—the same behavior Ji Hoo displays when they are together. She had noticed it and wondered why and when it had happened when they had been trapped in the cave in New Caledonia. She felt him, and he nearly sucked the breath out of her, but she didn't pay attention to it, and now that Ga Eul has brought the topic up, she remembered that even today, she felt him pressing into her and how he bit his lower lip in an attempt to hide his desire.
…
"Give him a call if you want to find out." Ga Eul nudged her best friend playfully. "Seeing you will help him calm down and sleep peacefully," Ga Eul suggested with a mischievous smile. "Who knows, maybe he's been thinking about you too."
"Won't I make it worse?" Jan Di asked unsure, her eyebrows furrowing in concern. "What if seeing me only reminds him of the desire he was trying to hide?" she pondered aloud.
Ga Eul shrugged, offering reassurance. "You won't know until you try," she said encouragingly. "Besides, sometimes facing our desires head-on can lead to a deeper understanding and resolution."
"OK," she replied, taking her phone, her heart pounding, and then her gaze fell on the wristband that is connected to her heart. Ji Hoo explained to her that it wasn't only connected to the phone but also to her other partner, who is also using it. And the wristband 'Love Band' is designed to measure and display the emotional bond between two people.
"See?" Ga Eul pointed at the band that was showing that Ji Hoo was unstable.
She began dialing his number, but his text message came in. "Can we have a video call?"
Jan Di hesitated, but her friend Ga Eul immediately accepted her. "Sure, we can have a video call," Ga Eul replied on Jan Di's behalf, sensing her hesitation. She handed the phone to Jan Di, encouraging her to give it a try and see what Ji Hoo had to say.
"Go to the living room, silly girl, and tell me the juicy news later, OK?" Jan Di nodded, feeling a mix of nervousness and curiosity as she made her way to the living room.
"Hi Sunbae," she said with a shy smile as she answered the video call. "I hope everything is okay."
"Seeing you, everything is better now." Ji Hoo's voice came through the screen, filled with warmth and affection. Jan Di couldn't help but blush at his words, feeling a wave of relief wash over her. She realized that despite the distance between them, their connection remained strong.
"Um...well, what can we talk about?" She asked shyly, watching him bite his lower lip in thought. Ji Hoo chuckled softly, his eyes sparkling with fondness. "How about we reminisce about our favorite memories together? It'll make this distance feel a little less daunting," he suggested, his voice filled with nostalgia. Jan Di's heart fluttered at the idea, grateful for the opportunity to relive their shared moments even through a screen. "But it would be nicer if you were here," he added.
Jan Di's smile faded slightly as she longed for Ji Hoo's physical presence. "I know," she sighed, "but for now, let's make the most of what we have and cherish these memories together."
"Can't you come over?" Ji Hoo asked, his voice tinged with hope.
Jan Di's heart sank at the thought of being unable to be with him in person. "I wish I could," she replied sadly, "but I can't leave Ga Eul alone at home, you know."
"Ji Hoo Sunbae." Ga Eul came rushing out of the room and pushed Jan Di's face away from the screen. "My best friend is a fool. She has been talking about you; I wouldn't mind if she came over there to see you in person. Just send your car." Ji Hoo smiled at how Ga Eul could be playful.
"Maybe you should convince her," Ji Hoo replied, biting his lower lip once more. "Tell her I won't do anything to her if she's worried about that."
"Don't worry, I call the shots here; she will be there in fifteen minutes. Have you sent your driver yet?" Ga Eul smirked mischievously, enjoying the playful banter.
"Ga Eul!" Jan Di exclaimed at her best friend's audacity. "You can't just send someone over like that without their consent!"
"Don't you want to go over there?" She winked at her and said, "To see your man and sleep next to him in his luxurious bed?" Jan Di blushed and looked away, but she couldn't hide her excitement. "Well, maybe just this once," she whispered, unable to resist Ga Eul's persuasive charm.
Fifteen minutes later, Jan Di nervously pressed her thumb on the security pad at the entrance of the luxurious building. The door clicked open, and she stepped into the Korean-style mansion Ji Hoo was there by the door, waiting for her to come in with a warm smile on his face. He held out his hand, inviting her to join him inside. Jan Di's heart raced as she took his hand, feeling a sense of anticipation and adventure building within her.
He led her to his bedroom, inviting her to lay on his bed, but she sat at the edge of it, recalling the conversation she had with her best friend. and Ji Hoo did the same. "Are you feeling uncomfortable?" he asked gently, raising her chin to meet her eyes.
"No," she replied, biting her lower lip slightly. "I'm just…nervous," she admitted, her voice trembling. Jan Di couldn't help but wonder if she was making the right decision by being here with him, but there was also a part of her that couldn't resist the pull of the unknown.
"I am nervous too…" he replied, caressing her soft cheek with his thumb. "I will help you take off your shoes," he said, getting down on his knees and gently untying the laces of her shoes. As he removed them, she felt a wave of vulnerability wash over her but also a sense of trust in his actions.
"Five minutes later…
Ji Hoo and Jan Di lay on their sides, facing each other, their heads on the same pillow, holding hands, their breaths mingling in the room. "Hey," Ji Hoo began, pressing his lips on her nose gently.
"Hi," Jan Di replied, shyly smiling at him.
Ji Hoo brought her hand to his lips, kissing her knuckles softly. "I'm glad you trusted me enough to let me take care of you," he whispered, his voice filled with sincerity. Jan Di blushed, feeling a warmth spread through her heart as she realized the depth of their connection. "I badly needed you here," he added.
Jan Di's smile grew wider as she felt a surge of affection for Ji Hoo. "I needed you too," she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper, inching her face close to his and closing her eyes as she anticipated the gentle touch of his lips on hers.
…
The moment her face came close to hers, he knew he had to control himself, but it was no use when he softly brushed his lips against hers. The kiss was filled with tenderness as they both lost themselves in the moment, forgetting about the world around them.
"I needed you," Ji Hoo said, slipping his thigh in between her legs and inching closer, and the desire he had been trying to control finally consumed him. Jan Di's heart raced as his lips traced gently to her cheeks, not scaring her at the same time but burning her with passion.
Ji Hoo then gently lay on top of her, spreading her legs, his fingers tracing the curve of her waist as he leaned in to capture her lips once again. The intensity between them grew. He took her hand that rested on his chest and brought it lower to something she had never touched—hot and hard inside his pants. "I couldn't control myself today." He murmured against her ear, sucking on it softly.
Jan Di's breath hitched as she felt the undeniable evidence of his desire for her. His hand guided her, urging her to stroke him while he traced his moist kiss on her neck, weakening her further with each gentle nibble. The room filled with a heady mix of their heavy breathing and the sound of their racing hearts as they both surrendered to the intoxicating passion that consumed them.
"Sunbae," she said, but before going further, his tongue consumed her mouth in a fiery kiss, their lips melding together in a desperate embrace.
Jan Di was consumed with the passionate kiss, and the reflexes in her hand failed her as she began to innocently stroke his length. He was long, hard, and pulsing with desire. The sensations coursing through her body only fueled her hunger for him, as she yearned to explore every inch of his throbbing masculinity. With each stroke, she could feel his breath hitch and his grip on her tighten, a clear indication of the pleasure he was experiencing.
"Can I touch you as well?" he asked, his voice filled with a mix of desire and vulnerability.
Jan Di's heart skipped a beat at his request, realizing that he wanted to share the same level of intimacy and connection with her. Her desire intensified as she nodded eagerly, permitting him to explore her body in return.
Instead of using his hand, his body worked its magic as he leaned in closer, his lips grazing her skin with a gentle touch. The electricity between them surged, heightening the intensity of their shared experience, while he began grinding into her. Between their clothes, Jan Di could feel him in her silk sleep shorts as he hit her center with precision. The friction between them ignited a fire within her, causing her to gasp and arch her back in pleasure. As their bodies moved in sync, the boundaries of time and space seemed to fade away, leaving only the raw passion and desire that consumed them both.
Their lips met again, their tongues dancing in a fervent tango as they explored each other's mouths with an insatiable hunger. Every kiss was a delicious blend of sweetness and urgency, fueling the flames of their desire even further. Jan Di's mind became a blur as she surrendered herself completely to the intoxicating sensation of their connection, losing herself in the depths of their shared ecstasy as she felt wet like never before, her body moving up and down in sync with his, their passion building with each rhythmic grind against her core. The room filled with their moans and gasps, a symphony of pleasure that drowned out the world around them. Time seemed to stand still as they became lost in the intensity of their lovemaking, consumed by a desire that transcended the physical realm.
"I didn't plan this, but it has happened," he whispered, his force on her core while pulling his pants a little bit down, revealing his desire for her to her core, where he had torn her silk shorts without her realization.
She gasped at the feel of his lengths against her core, grinding against her forcing her to release a sound she didn't know whether it was hers or not. The feel of his length tickling her wet silk core, the nibbling of his lips against her neck, and the caress against her breast sent her over the edge of something she had never experienced before. It was a mixture of pleasure and vulnerability, making her surrender completely to his touch. As her body quivered with anticipation, she couldn't help but crave more of his intoxicating presence, yearning for the passion that awaited them both.
Ji Hoo didn't want this moment to ever end with the way her core and her torn shorts tickled him as he ground on her center. He wanted to slide inside her, but he knew they were not ready for that yet. He instead focused on the surface sensations, exploring every inch of her body with his hands and lips, feeling her wet core as he hit her clit with his hardness and feeling its softness as it throbbed against him. He ran his hardness around it in slow circles, teasing it, before grinding once more up and down her center, savoring the delicious friction between them.
His breath hitched when Jan Di reached down, opening her clit, and guiding his harness to tickle it with his tip, enjoying his tickle on her. Ji Hoo repeatedly ground onto the clit increasing the pace, his member throbbing until they both made their release.
They both gasped, their eyes locked as they climaxed, Ji Hoo holding himself as he released his desire—the desire he didn't know he had until this moment and hoped he could control in the future.
He leaned into her, kissing her lips slowly and passionately, savoring the taste of their shared intimacy. As they broke apart, Jan Di's heart raced with a newfound realization—this attraction with Ji Hoo was something she couldn't ignore, and she wondered where it would lead them next time.
"I'm sorry I couldn't hold on," he said, pecking her nose. I hope you are not angry with me."
Jan Di smiled, her heart swelling with affection. "No, I'm not angry," she replied softly. "I understand that sometimes desires can be overwhelming, and I'm glad we're exploring this together."
"I enjoyed it," he said, nuzzling his nose against hers and planting a gentle kiss on her lips.
…
"Sunbae…" Ji Hoo bolted upright, sweating. He looked upon his bed and realized he was having a wet dream, and the girl he was dreaming about was fully dressed in her full school uniform. "What's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?" she asked, giving him water to drink. Ji Hoo quickly composed himself, taking a deep breath to calm his racing heart. He shook his head, trying to brush off the remnants of the dream that still lingered in his mind. "No, it wasn't a bad dream," he replied, grateful for her concern. "Just a strange one."
"Oh!" she replied, I didn't want to wake you up."
Ji Hoo drew her into his arms, trying to calm his racing heart. "It's okay; you didn't wake me up," he reassured her. "I'm glad you're here." He held her tightly, finding comfort in her presence as the remnants of the strange dream slowly faded away.
"But I've been here since last night," she said. "We held each other in our arms and slept off the night together."
Ji Hoo's confusion deepened as he tried to recall the events of the previous night, but all he could remember was the unsettling dream, which he enjoyed because it felt so real.
"Ji Hoo-ah," she said softly, running her fingers through his hair. "Don't you feel pain when you bite your lips like that?" she asked, concern evident in her voice.
Ji Hoo shook his head, realizing that he had been biting his lips to control his desire and it wasn't surprising that Jan Di noticed it. "It's nothing, let me get ready so we can out to school."
…
The following morning…
Gu Jun Pyo marched with a determined expression towards the principal's office in the Shinhwa Academy on Monday, refusing to allow his sister's presence in the town to distract from what he wanted to accomplish with his long-time friend and Geum Jan Di. His objective for today's visit to the school principal was to keep putting pressure on the guy to carry out his orders to remove both Yoon Ji Hoo and Geum Jan Di from Shinhwa High with immediate effect.
"It wouldn't be too difficult to get rid of Geum Jan Di with immediate effect, but Yoon Ji Hoo…" Shinhwa Academy's principal could feel beads of perspiration gathering on his brow as he cowered slightly beneath the intimidating glare of the Shinhwa heir. He knew that Yoon Ji Hoo was not someone to be taken lightly, considering his influential background and unwavering determination. The principal hesitated, weighing the consequences of defying the powerful family against the potential backlash from other students and faculty who admired Yoon Ji Hoo's talent and kindness.
"I don't care; I just want them both kicked out by the end of today. You'd better do what I say, or I'll replace you with someone more capable. There is a huge line of qualified applicants eager to do your job." Gu Jun Pyo began with a warning, threatening the poor guy who was the principal of the Shinhwa Academy's high school department.
While Gu Jun Pyo was in the principal's office, threatening the man with dismissal if the instructions to deport both Yoon Ji Hoo and Geum Jan Di were not accomplished by today's sunset… Outside, a ruckus was brewing in the corridor leading to the principal's office.
The disturbance was caused by the unexpected entrance on the university grounds of Gu Jun Hee, a Shinhwa Academy alumnus, and Shinhwa heiress. Gu Jun Hee marched into the principal's office, ignoring the throng of people gathered around her with varied degrees of astonishment in their looks, determined to stop her moronic brother from doing something extremely stupid.
The Shinhwa heir shuddered inside when Gu Jun Hee entered the principal's office, while the principal of Shinhwa High breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the Shinhwa heiress. Gu Jun Hee, the heiress of the Shinhwa Group, struck the back of her brother's head with the hard base of her clutch purse as soon as she entered the principal's office.
"Stop it, Noona!" Gu Jun Pyo shouted as he sought to cover his head from his elder sister's blows. "Why do you have to always appear in front of me to thwart my plans?"
"How dare you! Who do you think you are to have the chutzpah to endanger the principal's job? If you dare to remove him from his position as principal of this institution... I'll take on the work on my own. If I were to become the new principal of Shinhwa Academy, I'd like to see if you could still graduate on time." Gu Jun Hee said aloud while lecturing her dumb younger brother and slapping the Shinhwa heir with her pocketbook.
At one point, the Shinhwa Group heiress went so far as to nail Gu Jun Pyo in place by treading on the Shinhwa heir's shoes with her heels. Gu Jun Hee finally felt that her brother had been humiliated enough and proceeded to drag her dumb brother by the ears out of the principal's office.
After exiting the principal's office, she dragged her dumb younger brother by the ears, ignoring the Shinhwa heir's cries. Gu Jun Hee—the Shinhwa heiress—barked out as she scanned the crowd gathered in the corridor, focusing her gaze on the forms of F3 and Geum Jan Di. "The four of you, please come with me right now!"
The F3 and Geum Jan Di followed the Shinhwa heiress without saying anything as they observed the heiress manhandle the Shinhwa heir along the way until they arrived at the front of the academic building, where the Gu family's vehicle was waiting.
"Get in!" Gu Jun Hee yelled at the Shinhwa heir, her harsh gaze telling him that she wasn't beyond throwing him into the car forcibly if he didn't cooperate on his end. The F3 and Geum Jan Di exchanged troubled looks, wondering how to intervene in the heated sibling rivalry. Gu Jun Hee's tenacity shone through as she held firm, ready to take harsh steps if necessary.
"…" Gu Jun Pyo, still fearful of being beaten up by his angry sister, shut his mouth and went into the back passenger seat of the black Mercedes Benz, with his sister behind him.
"I'd expect you to arrive at our family home no more than five minutes apart. Understand?!" Gu Jun Hee delivered her next statements in a forceful tone to the remaining members of F4 and Geum Jan Di.
None of them dared to argue against the heiress, Gu Jun-Hee, as they promptly headed for the parking lot to retrieve their own vehicles to head over to the Gu family mansion. Since neither So Yi Jeong nor Song Woo Bin of F4 were on speaking terms with Geum Jan Di for the moment, Jan Di was brought over to the Gu family mansion on the motorbike of Yoon Ji Hoo.
Ji Hoo and Jan Di watched the three cars drive off. He turned to her, and without hesitation, their hearts speaking, they both closed the remaining distance, and their lips met. The kiss was a moment of solace for both Ji Hoo and Jan Di, who had been through so much together in the last few days. As their lips parted, the kiss deepened, their tongues meeting in a passionate embrace while they drew themselves closer, their bodies pressing against each other. It was a moment of pure connection and understanding, a silent affirmation of their unspoken feelings for each other, and no matter what Jun Hee said to them about it being a fling, to them, it felt much more than just a fling. It was a culmination of their shared experiences, a symbol of the deep bond they had formed amidst the chaos.
After breaking the kiss, they gazed into each other's eyes, their breaths heavy and their hearts racing. The intensity of the moment lingered in the air, leaving them both craving more. He then took out his spare helmet and placed it over her head, strapping it securely under her chin. As they revved up the engine of his motorcycle, they knew whatever was going to happen, they would face it together.
…
Back in the corridor leading to the principal's office, the mob that had collected earlier when the Shinhwa heir and heiress arrived one after the other had yet to disperse. Many of them were speculating about the mysterious arrival of the Shinhwa heiress on college grounds.
