How It Should Have Ended (A Ji Hoo and Jan Di Story)

Chapter 5

Jan Di had a dilemma. The wedding was that weekend, and she still hadn't found anything suitable to wear. She had been busy with classes, so she had forgotten about it until now. She decided to ask Ga Eul for help.

Ga Eul had a dress that she borrowed, which she hoped was appropriate enough for the wedding. It was a beautiful vibrant blue floral dress with a high-low hem and an off-the-shoulder neckline. She decided to put her hair in an updo – her hair had gotten long enough for it now.

She sighed nervously. She looked at her phone as she saw a text from Jun Pyo come in. She told him about going with Ji Hoo to the wedding. He wasn't too happy at first, but since he also knew the groom, and the fact that Woo Bin would be there made him relent (albeit grudgingly). Not that he could dictate where she went anyway. She was putting the finishing touches on her makeup when she heard the doorbell ring.

She heard her mother scrambling to open the door. She hurried out, and found her mother and Kang San staring at a very handsome-looking Ji Hoo.

He was dressed in his trademark white from head to toe. He was wearing a blue bow tie that matched the color of her dress. He looked dashing as always, and she couldn't help but stare at him for a moment. In his hand he held a huge bouquet of flowers, which he handed to her mother. He greeted them politely, and then he saw her. He paused, looked at her, then smiled widely in approval.

Jan Di felt herself blush.

Her mother was still staring at Ji Hoo, mouth open wide in admiration. Kang San started blabbing incessantly about how Ji Hoo looked like an angel. Ji Hoo smiled at them politely but shifted uncomfortably.

Jan Di took his hand and bade farewell to her family. "Let's go."

The wedding was beautiful, Jan Di thought. She wondered how much it cost to have such an elegant wedding. She was sure her head wouldn't be able to handle the amount. A part of her wondered if her own wedding would even come close to this. If she did marry Gun Pyo, it probably would be (and more!) but was that what she really wanted?

At the reception she and Ji Hoo sat at a table with Woo Bin and his date. It had been a long time since she last saw him. They chatted happily as old friends, catching up on each other's lives. Woo Bin had decided to forgo University and apprentice under his father to run their multitude of businesses. He and Ji Hoo saw each other often though, being the only two left of the famous F4. Woo Bin's date was a girl named Ra Yong Ae, who looked stunning in a strapless black evening gown. Jan Di felt a little self-conscious. She scanned the room, looking at all the gorgeous people dressed in really expensive clothing. For a while she thought she stepped into a fashion magazine.

"What are you thinking of?" Ji Hoo interrupted her thoughts.

"How beautiful everyone looks," she sighed.

Ji Hoo gave her a lopsided grin. "You don't look so bad yourself."

Jan Di blushed. A tall girl with waist length hair wearing a one shoulder slim fitting gown walked by. She reminded her of Min Seo Hyun. She was absolutely breathtaking. She stared at the girl, mouth open wide. Ji Hoo glanced in the direction she was looking at.

"Sunbae, what do you think of when you look at her?" she pointed to the girl who passed by.

Ji Hoo took a second look at the girl.

That she isn't you, was what he wanted to say. "Tall", was what he said out loud.

Jan Di laughed.

"Yeah, right," she shook her head, smiling.

She was in a bathroom stall trying to fix her makeup when she heard voices outside.
They were talking about her. She peeped through the gap in the stall and saw two girls putting on lipstick in front of the mirror.
