A Fanfiction Story

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, place or photos. I did not like how Boys Over Flowers ended so I decided to continue the story. The story occurs in the 4 years that Jun Pyo and Jan Di were apart, and then after they met on the beach. I know some of my timing was off (re: medical school, Ji Hoo's Grandfather's clinic being closed) and I was going to change it, but now I have no time so please just enjoy this without that lining up! (Also, I was guessing on the whole medical school, clinical, residency thing). Other than that, I tried to merge it with the Kdrama as much as possible. This is my first time ever writing something like this, but I hope you guys like it! If you like it, please write a review. I would appreciate knowing someone else read this and enjoyed it! Thank you!

Jan Di couldn't sleep at all. She tossed and turned in bed. It had almost been a month since Jun Pyo had left for New York. She missed him terribly. They hadn't really had a chance to spend a lot of time together ever since they started 'dating'. Before, his mother had done every possible thing to tear them apart. After Jun Pyo's accident, she seemed to have backed off a little, though Jan Di could tell she still wasn't so keen in having her for a future daughter-in-law. Now that they had no major obstacles to be together, Jun Pyo decided to leave to make a name for himself (or to be "an even greater Jun Pyo" as he called it). He tried very hard to persuade her to go with him. He could always visit, of course, but he had enrolled in University in New York to study Business Management, and he promised his mother to repair whatever damage they had caused the last few months...which meant business meetings in his spare time. Jan Di sighed heavily. Four years would be a long time to be apart.

Jun Pyo complained that she could just study in New York and he could cover all her expenses. She adamantly declined his help, though. While she agreed with him that it would be hard, she informed him that she needed to follow her dream too. She wanted to make something of herself – something that he would be proud of. And she wanted to do it on her own.

Jun Pyo had reluctantly agreed. After all, wasn't that what he was doing also? So they bid each other farewell with the promise that they would call each other every day.

Jan Di sat up in bed. The past week had been ridiculously busy. She was preparing for her first year in Medical school. It had been a miracle that she even got in. She remembered barely sleeping those last few weeks before she took her CSAT. In the end, her hard work paid off and she got accepted. She remembered how proud she was to receive her letter of acceptance. It made her feel like she had made the right decision. Best of all, she did it all by herself.

Well, sort of.

Ji Hoo sunbae had been there, of course. There were several times when she almost gave up, but every time she was on the verge of giving up, he showed up to offer her encouragement, or to tutor her.

Jan Di thought of the week of her CSAT. She often forgot to eat because she was so stressed. She spent most of her days in the library. She would often be surprised to find a brown paper bag with her name on it at her desk. Most of the time, she never even noticed him drop it off – but she often found food, a carton of milk and encouraging notes inside (sunbae often wrote "Fighting!" with a smiley face on her lunch bags). And oftentimes when she stayed at the library too late, she found him waiting outside on his bike to give her a ride home.

She smiled as she thought of her sunbae. She would never have survived the last 2 years without him. And knowing that he would be there for her during the coming 4 years gave her strength.
