Jan Di
******
I sigh as GaEul squeezes onto me.
"GaEul.." I say quietly,
"Jan Di! What is wrong with you!?" She yells after pulling away,
"We were all so worried! WooBin sunbae, has been freaking out, YiJung even called a search party! You were gone all night!!" I sigh and listen to the lecture.
"I know..I know!" I say.
"You don't know, or you wouldn't have left!!" She yells and a few tears fall. I sigh,
"GaEul..stop crying..it's not that big of a deal.." Then I hear JiHoo's voice from behind me.
"Geum Jan Di..." I freeze and then turn around to see JiHoo. His car parked on the side of the road.
"Where were you?..." He says quietly. I back away but GaEul stops me from just running away. She holds onto my hand. I sigh and close my eyes.
"I'm sorry..I lied to you...JiHoo sunbae--"
"I was worried sick about you..I thought you did something..What if something happened to you!? Nothing happened, right??.." He takes another step toward me. I look down and feel the tears fighting to come out. He sighs,
"I should have listened to you before being harsh..I'm sorry..." When I open my eyes he's directly in front of me,
"Your clothes are filthy...what were you doing? Did you fall somewhere? Are you hurt??" He touches my hair and wipes some dirt off my clothes. I sigh and look away,
"I'm sorry..I'm so sorry.." He hugs me,
"It's not your fault, Jan Di..." He says quietly. I feel my arms slowly wrapping around him too. I feel a warmth on my shoulder, like wetness...is he crying?? I think he is..then, I feel my tears falling as well. I think GaEul has left by now.

JiHoo

YiJung called me to tell me that Jan Di had gone to GaEul's house. I was so worried. I'm currently being embraced by Jan Di. It feels amazing...I'm such an idiot..why would I be so harsh, without even letting her explain. I sigh and start letting the tears fall. I held it in this whole time, but being next to her, I can't stop it. I feel her crying as well. I feel Gaeul's presence leave. I pull away from Jan Di and wipe away her tears, then look at her in the eyes,
"Jan Di..let's go home, you should get washed up and change clothes.." I say quietly. She nods. She goes to take a step but whimpers in pain..did she get hurt?? Instinctively I grab her shoulders before she could fall.
"Jan Di..did someone hurt you??" I say quietly. She shakes her head,
"No, it was a long walk from here to where I was, and back.." She says, "I think I must have sprained my ankle.." I sigh and kneel down,
"Here..get on." I say quietly,
"No, I can walk by myself.."
"No, please. It's the least I can do." I insist. She sighs,
"Wh..whatever.." And I feel her slowly, and carefully, get onto my back. She wraps her arms over my shoulders and I hold onto her legs. We go toward the car.

At the house
******
I take Jan Di to the bathroom and start preparing the bath for her. After its all done, I stand up and look at her,
"Okay..it's ready." She nods.
"Just...yell, if you need help.." I say, and she nods again. I sigh and open the door to leave but she grabs my hand,
"JiHoo..sunbae..." she says quietly, "thank you.." I close my eyes and hold onto her hand,
"I love you." I say, before letting go an leaving the room, shutting the door behind me. I walk to the living room and start stressing out. I lean on the wall and cover my face with my hands, taking deep breaths and trying to calm down.

About 3 hours later
******
I sit on the couch next to Jan Di. She doesn't seem to notice that I'm staring quite intently at her. I suddenly get a call. I sigh and look at my phone, then gasp. I quickly stand up and dtare at my phone.
'Call from: Hyung Jun' Jan Di looks at me in confusion and I answer it and quickly put my phone to my ear.
"Y-yes??" I say.
"Ah! JiHoo! How have you been? Man, been a while huh?"
"Y..yeah.." I suddenly smile and walk out of the house.
"We haven't seen each other in a really long time," Hyung jun says, "And we heard you got engaged. We didn't even know you had a girlfriend in the first place!" I chuckle,
"Yeah.."
"So. Here's the deal." Hyung jun pauses, "We want to visit you and your fiancé and hang out."
