A/N: Greetings readers! Thank you cookie bee, guest, Cari-Bum, heartluv, guest and sakurauchahichan for reviewing. Lots of love to those who reviewed for all the chapters. It's our sincere request that you review because it gives us an idea of whether you're liking our story or not. It also gives us the motivation to write and work harder on our story. Take care everyone and enjoy!

As some of the reveiws pointed out, the transition from the ski trip to the shopping mall was a bit abrupt, so we decided to edit it. Enjoy!

"He told me it was unthinkable and gave the craziest story. I had just asked him if I could bring a guest along to the Shinwa school trip, and he was looking at me as if I had asked for his daughter's hand in marriage," said Woo Bin, raising both his hands in the air.

"He was the one being unreasonable," commented Jae Kyung, who was comfortably placed on a sofa in the F4 lounge.

"Anyway, I gave him an intimidating stare and warned him of retaliation if I didn't get my way. Shivering with apprehension, he caved immediately."

"Really?" Jae Kyung scoffed. She wasn't convinced at all.

"Fine, that very moment my bodyguard came in. He is a well-built heavy man. Very scary. That combined with the call from Jun Pyo's sister was enough to convince him."

"Bringing Ga Eul was a good idea. It'll really help them connect," commented Jae Kyung.

"I wouldn't let such a good opportunity get away. Besides, to be honest it wasn't completely my idea," said Woo Bin who was grinning like he had gotten a giant candy bar.

"Don't tell me you included other people in this?"

"No, of course not. Yi Jeong asked me to bring her. Isn't that great?"

"Really?" asked Jae Kyung surprised by the answer. They hadn't even started on their plan yet and results were already showing.

"Yeah. He was saying something along the lines of it'll cheer her up… And that she'd have fun there. I didn't press for details. It's not like he would've told me anyway."

"It's time to put our plan into action," Jae Kyung said while munching on an apple.

"By the way, what are these?" she asked, pointing to a pile of papers stacked on the desk.

"Applications to join the F4." Jae Kyung's inquisitive expression prompted him to continue.

"All the F4 members are famous, except for me. My family origin is not known by most. This led some people to believe that virtually anyone can become a part of the group. Every year, students apply for membership. As membership fee, they have to do my homework."

"Hasn't anyone figured out it's a farce yet?"

"I select one person to be a member for a week."

Jae Kyung looked deep in thought, as if contemplating this. Then she looked up at Woo Bin and asked, "So, what do your folks do?"

"My family owns the M&N group of industries. My dad travels a lot so, ever since my mom died, I have lived with my grand mom."

"Cool, want some?" Jae Kyung asked, offering Woo Bin an apple.

_oOo_

"I don't know Woo Bin sunbae, my parents can be a little intimidating. They're over protective."

"Don't worry Ga Eul, I'm great with parents. All will be fine."

"I guess. I mean you did manage to convince my parents to let me go to New Caledonia with you guys."

A slight blush of embarrassment crept on Woo Bin's face, but right now didn't seem like the right time to tell Ga Eul about her parents thinking that she was at Jan Di's while they went to Caledonia. Not even the Don Juan could ask a girl's parents to let them take her to a place that far.

_oOo_

"Yes, I'm straight. No, I'm not currently involved with anyone. I assure you Mr. Chu my intentions with your daughter are completely pure," said Woo Bin, trying to keep the voices on the phone from dismantling his ear drums.

"I completely understand . The Shinwa staff and faculty will be present with us at all times. In fact, the fire brigade, ambulance and all other essential services would be present so it's completely safe….No Mr. Chu the police won't be there…. Uhm why? ...because nothing of that sort ever happens on college trips. Yes, even on trips for rich people, Mrs. Chu. You want me to guarantee that your daughter won't get shot? Well not that I would know anything about it….Okay. Okay, fine I take responsibility… No one will harm your daughter. I see why you would be worried, but as I mentioned it's just a trip organized by Shinwa so we can interact with …uhm other students. No. that's not a euphemism for commoners," said Woo Bin trying to sound as calm as possible.

"Tell them about Jan Di," Ga Eul whispered to Woo Bin.

"Jan Di is going to be there too so you really have nothing to worry about. Well I'm glad. Thank you for your time Mrs. Chu, it's been a pleasure talking to you."

"Uhm, well that went well," said Woo Bin trying to act natural.

"It did?" Ga Eul asked innocently.

"Sure, this is normal. Low key actually. It could get a lot worse."

"Well thanks sunbae. I'll see you there."

After she left Woo Bin sighed, this mission is not going to be an easy one, especially if he had to talk to her parents again.

_oOo_

Where could she be? Yi Jeong was starting to get worried. He hadn't seen Ga Eul since they got there. He walked around the place for a while until he caught a glimpse of her. He followed his instincts and soon enough, managed to locate her.

"Listen, Ga Eul yang," was all Yi Jeong could say before he hit the ground.

"Back off, we saw her first. Hey who's trying to cut the line?" yelled the guy who was practically sitting on top of Yi Jeong.

Yi Jeong wasn't paying attention to what this guy was saying. He wished he would have. Apparently there was this huge line. Maybe Ji Hoo was finally awake, but this line wasn't of the noisy girls who were hoping that one day, Ji Hoo would wake up. These seemed to be a bunch of guys who went to Shinwa. He tried to make his way past them to get to Ga Eul.

_oOo_

"So, what school are you guys from?" asked Ga Eul, hoping to get to know other people who, like her had come to Shinwa's communal ski trip.

"She thinks we're from a different school," he whispered to his friend.

"Who cares? Pretty girls never talk to us. Don't go against the goddess of Luck or you will be punished."

"You're right, and she's not even running after the F4!"

"We go to Shinwa. I'm Sang Min Ki and this is ..."

"Talk to someone your own league," said one of the guys.

When Ga Eul looked back up from putting on her skies, those guys were gone. This was the weirdest school ever.

_oOo_

There were a lot of people here. Yi Jeong was having a tough time getting to Ga Eul. The guy Ga Eul was talking to earlier was now talking to a plant.

"Hey, I think I'm going to call you Planty," said what's his face, smiling to himself or rather at his plant.

Yi Jeong couldn't help but wonder that how did that guy get a plant here. Did he bring it to this trip with him? A tinge of sympathy swept across Yi Jeong's face, but it lasted only for a split second, as getting to Ga Eul was proving difficult.

"Don't feel sorry for him. Over here, each man is on their own," said one of the guys to him.

"She's so pretty and how often do you find a girl whose not drooling after the F4. I hope I can get the chance to talk to her. Girls never talk to us." Yi Jeong heard someone saying.

So they're all here to talk to Ga Eul. Even though it was a little unusual to have a group of guys standing in line to talk to a girl, it was still believable. Most of these guys were starving for female attention. It was a little creepy. Besides, Shinwa was filled with weirdos. Over here you could find all kinds of weirdos. Shinwa had successfully proven that just because it's a school for rich people, doesn't mean that the students are any more sophisticated than the rest. Ga Eul probably was one of the few people who wasn't crazy after the F4. Besides that, she was a girl from a different school, who had come with them on Shinwa's college trip. He could see why'd they'd be so interested, there is always something intriguing about mysteries. A voice suddenly brought Yi Jeong out of his trance.

"I don't mean to be rude but you have to go to the back of the line. We have been waiting longer. You F4 members are always steeling our women," said Kim Tae Suk.

"Yeah man, finally we have a chance with a girl and you are interrupting!"

Yi Jeong couldn't believe that someone had said that to him. These people were starting to get on his nerves.

"Don't worry you can talk to Planty. There's no line to talk to her," What's his face suggested.

There were no words that could have been said. Yi Jeong simply didn't know how to respond to that. In fact, how could anyone respond to that suggestion? He didn't know if he should stay there and comfort what's his face. Yi Jeong was starting to get the feeling that this guy was going to have an emotional breakdown. That is, if he wasn't clinically insane. So he did the next best thing, run.

_oOo_

"Gu Jun Pyo, how many times do I have to tell you, the reason your tongue got burnt is because you drank your hot chocolate too quickly. Wait… what is she doing here?"

"Who are you talking about?" asked a confused Jun Pyo.

"Ga Eul, over there. How come she's here on our trip?"

"Jan Di -ah, look closely, can't you tell? Ga Eul is talking with… uhm… What's his face over there."

"I can see that. And those guys over there, why don't they back off? It's like eleventh grade all over again."

"What happened in eleventh grade?" asked Yi Jeong while he came towards them, quickly gulping down a bottle of water.

"That happened in eleventh grade," said Jan Di pointing towards Ga Eul.

"It's pretty darn hard to get to her. I've been trying to for like an hour." Yi Jeong tried to catch a breath.

"Look Jae, she's pretty, right? And did you hear what he said, he's been trying to get to her. Watch, this is so going to work." Woo Bin focused his cell phone at Ga Eul.

"I'm totally fangirling over here," said a very enthusiastic Jae Kyung.

"They think they can just go and hit on my best friend and expect me to watch in silence. Who do think they are thinking that my Ga Eul would just settle for anybody. Before they can even look at Ga Eul with those creepy unworthy eyes they would have to face Geum Jan Di first! Woo Bin sunbae, Stop staring at her."

"What? I wasn't staring. Ga Eul's like my sister. Really, I swear," Woo Bin replied quickly hiding his phone behind his back.

Jan Di simply rolled her eyes. She had other people to deal with right now.

"Hey! How come I'm the only one you would suspect?"

"Well Jun Pyo's my boyfriend and Ji Hoo sunbae is ...," they all scanned their surroundings until they found Ji Hoo, "is sleeping… and Yi Jeong sunbae is… you know."

"I'm what? What is the end of that sentence?"

"She means that you're a wuss," Woo Bin added.

"Hey! I'm not a wuss," yelled Yi Jeong.

"Aren't you being a little over protective Jan Di. Who knows? Maybe some of those guys are good guys," suggested Ji Hoo who had now woken up.

"I've seen that type. All throughout eleventh grade. Just lurking around waiting for the moment to try and pounce on my Ga Eul. They even threw me a farewell party when I left." Jan Di absent mindedly added more kimbap to her plate, fuming while staring into the horizon.

"I think she's trying to break my record," whispered Jae Kyung to woo bin.

Everyone was too busy watching Jan Di with a mixture of awe and fear to notice that Woo Bin was video chatting with someone the entire time.

"No one can break your record."

"So they threw you a farewell party. That seems nice actually," Ji Hoo replied casually.

"No, they were happy that Ga Eul's guardian angel was leaving. The cake said- Hoping that the ties that bind you and Shinwa are everlasting."

"But what can we do. There's no way we can get to her with all those people surrounding her," said Yi Jeong.

"Watch and learn," Jan Di replied with determination.

"This is a ski trip. Go back to skiing there's no ramp walk going on over here. Move it! Move it! And you stop staring at her. My boyfriend over here is going to scoop your eye balls."

"I'm going to do what?" said an extremely lost Jun Pyo.

"And you, Mr. Night Vision Goggles! 10 feet away."

"They're not night vision goggles! Its day time."

"There's nothing to see over here. Run along."

Within a few minutes, Jan Di managed to get rid of all the guys, proving that miracles in fact did exist. She wasn't called Shinwa's wonder woman for nothing.

"Jan Di, go with Jun Pyo he has to show you something," said Woo Bin.

"I Do?" asked a clueless Jun Pyo.

"Remember you had to show her that thing with the stuff." Woo Bin hoped that Jun Pyo's romance obsession would come in handy. He'd think of something, he's Jun Pyo after all. He won't let the chance of expressing a romantic gesture slip away.

"Sure. Right! There is something I want to show you." Jun Pyo dragged Jan Di with him, taking no notice of the fact that Woo Bin was trying to shoo them away.

"Phase I has now begun," said Woo Bin to his accomplice on the phone.

"Let's go skiing. That's why we're here right?" said Woo Bin to Ga Eul and Yi Jeong.

_oOo_

"You have to hold them at an angle and make a swift rotation."

"Yi Jeong, I don't think the watering method for pottery is going to work here."

"Don't mind him Ga Eul. Yi Jeong can't describe anything unless it's about his pots."

"That's not true."

"Right, I forgot. Or his bowls."

Yi Jeong just rolled his eyes. It wasn't unusual to hear Woo Bin talking like that.

"I'm going to get us some hot chocolate. Be right back," he replied.

"No matter what I say and keeping all jokes aside, Yi Jeong is a pretty cool guy. Did you know that he's the youngest potter to win the Korea's Face of Creativity Award?"

"I know. He has that displayed in his studio."

"One of his art pieces is exhibited in The Museum of the Finest Arts in London."

"I know. It was one of the pictures he showed me when he was teaching me about contours during one of our pottery classes."

Woo Bin didn't like the idea of standing there and making a fool of himself but he had no other choice. In the words of his good friend Jae Kyung ,who repeated those words on the phone- Sometimes you have to take one for the team. All your endeavors might not be a bowl of fish cakes but at the end of the day you have to remember that there is a greater purpose to your actions. Do this for Yi Jeong. Do it for Ga Eul. Do it for hotness. Fighting! So Woo Bin swallowed his pride and continued.

"I remember that time how proud we all were when he was voted number two in The Top Five Sexiest Prodigies Across The World by People's Magazine."

"I've seen it. He has it framed in his studio. Right next to Patricia." Ga Eul looked as if she was stopping herself from asking if the cold was getting to his head.

It was becoming difficult for Woo Bin to brag about Yi Jeong. The fact that Yi Jeong kept all his accomplishments displayed was not helping either. He was running out of things to say. It was time to think outside of the box.

"You probably don't know that he has a spotless driving record."

"No I didn't," said Ga Eul awkwardly.

Detecting his first victory, Woo Bin went on.

"He keeps his house and surroundings very clean. Oh right and he doesn't snore in his sleep. He smells great, showers twice a day and he's got impeccable fashion sense." He was slowly gaining confidence with every word he spoke.

"Uhm… Woo Bin sunbae…"

"I almost forgot. He doesn't fart in public. I've heard that's important to girls." He beamed with pride while he silently thanked Jae Kung for the suggestion.

Ga Eul's was beginning to look more and more uneasy, probably wondering why he was suddenly listing Yi Jeong's qualities. He had to end this soon.

"And. He's got a huge heart." Woo Bin hoped that this little conversation won't get back to Yi Jeong.

"I know," said Ga Eul with a knowing smile because she knew that when Woo Bin said that, he meant it and in reality it was true.

A wave of panic suddenly spread across Woo Bin's face. What to do next? He was done with the bragging part.

Ga Eul watched Woo Bin go from weird and awkward to twitchy with confusion and panic, and then all of a sudden, he talked to someone on his phone and went back to normal. He turned around and gave Ga Eul a bright smile and then shifted his gaze toward Yi Jeong who had come back with their hot chocolate.

_oOo_

"No, I don't want to buy a bonding bracelet," said Jan Di, trying to shoo her boyfriend away from the vendor.

"But Jan Di, it looks cute."

Jan Di was about to reply but was distracted by Woo Bin. He was talking to himself as if he was planning something in his head. Jan Di decided to quickly walk towards him before something else caught Jun Pyo's eye.

"Yi Jeong, take off your skies," said Woo Bin.

"What? Why?" asked a confused Yi Jeong.

"I don't have time for this," commented Woo Bin with mild annoyance.

Woo Bin turned back and started walking away from Yi Jeong. Then he turned around, came running towards Yi Jeong, pushing him towards the ground, he removed his skies. Yi Jeong was so stunned that he was unable to mutter a word for five whole minutes. After regaining his composure, Yi Jeong turned to Woo Bin to say something but paused. After a split second, it became clear why. A skier, who appeared drunk, came rushing towards Ga Eul. Without wasting another minute, Yi Jeong raced towards her and succeeded in successfully pushing her aside. Both of them fell to the ground. Jan Di wasted no time in running to her friend.

"Ga Eul, are you okay? Can you hear me? Open your eyes! Look at me!" said Yi Jeong worriedly.

Amidst all this confusion, nobody noticed that Woo Bin was video chatting on his phone.

"So, what do you think, a concerned friend or a man in love?" said Woo Bin, pointing his phone towards Yi Jeong's face

"I can't tell, bring me closer," Jae Kyung replied

Woo Bin tried to bring the phone closer.

"I'm OK. It's just a little bump on the head. Thanks a lot," Ga Eul said, looking at Yi Jeong with gratitude.

"Let's all head inside, drink some hot chocolate and get going. I think I have had enough adventure for a day," Jan Di suggested, putting her arms around Ga Eul.

_oOo_

"Everything that we would need is here. Watch closely okay Ga Eul?"

Ga Eul didn't really get the chance to respond because Yi Jeong had entered into his zone. They had just set foot in his wonderland.

"Oh yes. Yes. We would need absorbent cotton towels. Oh look chamois. These are used for compressing the upper edges of thrown ware," said Yi Jeong.

Even though he would briefly explain the purpose or history behind certain tools, this hunt seemed to be more for Yi Jeong's enjoyment than for Ga Eul's education on pottery.

"We would need needles, cut off wires, fettling knives, ribs and scrappers. These are great help for shaping and smoothening pots as they are being formed on the wheel."

"Would I be needing them for our next class?" Ga Eul asked.

"These? No its way too soon. There's time till you get there. Sponges, brushes, ooh… Calipers," said Yi Jeong as he searched through the shelves.

"Uhm… Yi Jeong, we were assigned food." For the past hour they had been shopping for pottery tools.

"I know Ga Eul. It won't take long to buy food. Anyway, just because we're going on this trip doesn't mean we get a break from pottery. Pottery can't be mastered in a day. It's art. The skill is acquired by continuous effort and perspiration."

Everyone, including Yi Jeong, was very excited about this trip. It had been a long time since he had gone somewhere with his friends for the entire weekend. On top of that, going on a trip with your friends, without any electronic devices, was one of the items on Ga Eul's list. So, a week after their ski trip, he suggested this idea to the F4. Ji Hoo owned this small cabin, a little out the city that was just perfect for what Yi Jeong had in mind. After much deliberation, today's day was chosen for shopping for the supplies they would need. However, things weren't going as smoothly as planned. If on one end Ga Eul and Yi Jeong were having trouble staying on topic, on the other end the Gu-Geum couple were having their own little dispute.

"Gu Jun Pyo, we already have eight romantic movies. We're only spending the weekend," said Jan Di as she watched Jun Pyo put movie after movie in their cart.

"I know Jan Di but these will come in handy. We can watch them whenever we want." Jun Pyo continued to add more romantic comedies in their cart.

"Put that down. The main characters cried all throughout that movie."

"But Jan Di-ah," pouted Jun Pyo.

"Really, Jun Pyo? We've seen this one," said Jan Di slightly annoyed.

"It was so beautiful. The guy went through so much effort to help the girl find her necklace. It reaffirms my faith in love."

"He had known the girl for two hours. That doesn't even make sense."

Jun Pyo kept looking at movies silently. He wasn't going to get Jan Di's approval but when one of his movies will be played, she'll be totally swept off her feet. There's more to romance than a movie. The setting is very important. He'll get his romance on, he's The Gu Jun Pyo after all.

"How about this one? Penguins -A love story or Interstellar. I've heard that they're both great," suggested Jan Di, trying to get something that'll not make the group's ears bleed.

"How about this one?" asked Jun Pyo hoping that he'll get Jan Di's approval.

"Jun Pyo. You have to be kidding me. Look at the summary. In this one, the main character goes back home on a unicorn."

"It has a happy ending. I like happy endings".

Jan Di gave him a chaste kiss on the cheek. No matter how ridiculous some of Jun Pyo's ideas were, he was pure. As strange as it may be, the future heir to Shinwa made her crazy life normal. He made putting up with all his musings worth the trouble.

_oOo_

"Let's see. We'll need six sleeping bags. Six tents. Oh right we should get different colors so it'll be easy to tell them apart. What else would we need?" said Woo Bin thinking about the other items they might need for their sleeping arrangements.

"I've got the rest," replied Ji Hoo with satisfaction.

"Why on earth would we need so many pillows? There's only six of us. You got like twenty!" exclaimed Woo Bin.

"What if we decide to have a pillow fight? Or we feel like sleeping under a tree or to gaze at the stars."

"In that case, we should pack twelve more sleeping bags," said Woo Bin sarcastically.

"Nonsense. It'll be heavy and very difficult to carry."

"Oh Yoon Ji Hoo. Of all the things, they had to assign sleeping arrangements to you. To make things better, you had to be my partner." Woo Bin shook his head in despair.

"Just push the cart," said Ji Hoo while adding six more pillows.
