-Kim Jong Kook-
"You can come in and see her now." The doctor said.

I nodded and went into Eun Hye's room. I've stayed at the hospital for five days for Eun Hye, who tried to..kill herself. I saw Eun Hye sitting on the hospital bed. She was staring blankly at the bottle of water she was holding in her hand.

"Hello." I said.

Eun Hye blinked and looked up. "Jong Kook... What are you doing..?"

"I came to see you." I answered. "How are you?"

Eun Hye shrugged. "I don't know.."

"I know that this is a bad time to ask, but..why did you do it?" I asked.

She sighed and looked out the window. "It's just... My life sucks. My parents are getting divorced and none of them wants to take care of me...  I have no friends and nobody cares about me.."

"Wait, what?" I asked in shock. "Neither of your parents want you?"

Eun Hye shook her head and I noticed that she was starting to cry. "They said I was too much of an extra burden. I don't even talk to my parents at home. They barely know I exist.. And neither does anyone else."

"I know you exist. And I'm your friend and I also care about you." I walked towards her hospital bed.

Eun Hye wiped her tears. "You're just saying that to make me feel better."

"No...I'm sorry for being such a jerk to you." I said quietly. "I know I've been acting cold to you after our break up."

Eun Hye sighed. "I'm used to it."

I held her hand. "Everything's going to be okay Eun Hye. Are you feeling better enough to get out of this hospital?"

"Yeah, the food here is gross." Eun Hye whispered and we both laughed.

"Let's go then. We're leaving Jeju tomorrow for Suk Jin's graduation...and all of us have to apologize to Jae Suk." I said. "He wanted this to be a no drama vacation."

Eun Hye frowned. "So much for that."

"Exactly. I'll go tell the doctors you're feeling better and we'll get you out of here." I smiled and left the room.

"We're really sorry." Joongki repeated."for everything."

"We know you didn't want any of this to happen." Ji Hyo added. "It just sort of...happened on its own."

Jong Kook nodded. "Sorry."

Jae Suk sighed. "It's okay. At least nobody died." He glanced at Eun Hye who smiled a little. "Well we should continue packing,right?"

We nodded and everyone went upstairs.

"Ji Hyo, I'll help you pack." Eun Hye offered. She followed Ji Hyo upstairs.

Jong Kook and I were the only ones standing in the living room.

"I feel horrible." Jong Kook muttered. "So many stuff happened because of... Her." He looked at me. "I hope you can forgive me Gary. You were right about Eun Hye. I'm sorry for getting in between your relationship with Ji Hyo."

I sighed. "It's okay. You wanted to know the main reason why I wanted you to stay away from her?"

"What?" Jong Kook asked.

I looked around to make sure nobody was listening. Then I took a deep breath and said, "I wanted to propose to Ji Hyo... At the end of senior year. The day of our Graduation."

Jong Kook's eyes widened. "Really?"

I nodded. "And I didn't want you to ruin my chances... Because every time you and Ji Hyo are together she.. She acts different around you."

"Sorry...really sorry. I didn't know Gary." Jong Kook said.

"Don't tell anyone else. Please." Gary begged. "I wanted it to be a surprise..."

"Your secrets safe with me." Jong Kook promised. "Well I have to go finish packing."

"Me too." I followed Jong Kook upstairs.

-Song Ji Hyo-
"How'd you like your vacation?" I asked Suk Jin while we were on the jet.

"It was interesting." Suk Jin smiled. "You guys are really great friends...this was the most fun I've had in my four years of high school."

"Well we did do it for you." I said. "Now it's time for you to get graduated! Are you going to be an MC?"

Suk Jin nodded. "Yeah, I already auditioned so I just have to wait for SBS to answer."

"That's so exciting. Well we'll all have our fingers crossed." I smiled and crossed my fingers.

Suk Jin also smiled then he noticed the plastic bag in my hand. "What's that?"

"Oh it's a dreamcatcher. Gary oppa got it for me.. It's supposed to catch all of your bad dreams and turn them into good ones."I answered.

"Really? Can I see it?" Suk Jin asked.

I nodded and took it out of the bag. "Here."

"Wow, it's so pretty." Suk Jin commented. "If what you say about is its true then I need to get one of those for myself."

I smiled and went to go sit next to Gary who was looking out the window. "Hi."

Gary looked at me and smiled, "Hey."

"How are you doing?" I asked.

"Good." He answered.

This is so awkward for some reason, I thought.

I cleared my throat. "Sorry that we didn't get to see anything on this trip. There were so many places we could've gone too..."

"It's okay." Gary smiled. "I was happy because you were with me and so we're all of my friends."

"Yeah, but still. There wasn't a time where we were alone together, just the two of us." I said quietly.

"Maybe one day we'll get to go there alone." Gary told me and held my hand. "Just the two of us."

I smiled. "Why?"

Gary shrugged with a smile. "You'll just have to wait and find out."

"Yah!" I playfully hit him on the shoulder. "You know I don't like surprises."

Gary grinned. "Well you're going to like this one, a lot,"

"How do you know I'm going to like it? What if I really really hate it and never want to speak to you again because of how horrible it was?" I teased.

"No, I know you're going to like this surprise." Gary said.

"Tell me!" I shook his shoulder and pouted. "Please tell me!"

Gary laughed. "Nope."

"Oppa! Tell me !"

He shook his head. "You'll just have to wait and see."

Authors note:

Sorry for the long wait and short chapter! I know I said I would be updating more frequently but I had this project that I needed to finish for school and I didn't complete it until last night! So I'll try to update as much as I can before school starts which is on two days so hopefully I'll be able to! How'd you like the chapter? This was their last day in Jeju Island so the next chapter will be when they're back in Seoul .

Anyway, give it a vote if you thought it was good! Or if you liked it.. Same thing. See you in the next chapter :)
