Chapter 14

A loud knock on her bedroom door woke Jan Di up bright and early next morning. Her shift was later in the afternoon, and she was hoping to sleep in. She turned on her stomach and pulled the pillow over her head, pretending she didn't hear the banging on her door.

"Jan Di!" Her mom's shrill voice called out. "Jan Di, you have a visitor!"

Jan Di sat up suddenly. A visitor?

Is it Ji Hoo?

No, her mother wouldn't call him "a visitor". In fact, her mother started calling Ji Hoo "her favorite son" a long time ago, much to Kang San's dismay and annoyance.

"Who is it?" She called back, yawning.

"That pretty one who came to stay here a long time ago."

Jan Di thought for a minute. "Who?"

Her door opened and a head poked in.

"Wake up, sleepyhead! The day is half over!" Jae Kyung sang.

Jan Di jumped out of bed, realized she was wearing her old pajamas, and hurriedly put on a robe.

"Unnie!" She greeted, frantically running around her room trying to tidy up. She wasn't a very messy person to begin with, but she'd been reading some medical journals the night before so papers were strewn all over her desk.

She saw her reflection in the mirror, her hair messy and face covered in drool. She turned to face Jae Kyung, embarrassed.

"Unnie, do you mind waiting for me in the living room? I need to umm... wash my face and get dressed."

"Sure thing! I have all day."

She got ready in record time, all the while wondering what could have brought Jae Kyung to her house.

"Want to go for a drive?" Jae Kyung asked.

"Sure, but I have work later this afternoon."

"We'll be back by then. I'll make sure of it."

She got into the back of the waiting black car and sat beside Jae Kyung.

"Where are we going?"

Jae Kyung grinned. "Do you want to go to the beach?" When Jan Di nodded, Jae Kyung gave instructions to her driver.

"Is everything ok, unnie?" She asked, feeling a small sense of dread.

"Yes. I just wanted to hang out. I haven't really had a chance to spend time with you since I got back. So I cleared my schedule today and here I am!"

They arrived at Eurwangni Beach exactly an hour later. It was the closest beach to Seoul, located in Incheon near the International airport. It was a small beach, but due to its proximity to the airport, always extremely crowded. The black car parked in front of a private area away from the general public. They got out and Jae Kyung started walking down the steps towards a huge cabana. She followed and nervously noted a few guys in black following them.

Jae Kyung noticed her discomfort. "Don't be nervous. Just pretend they're invisible. I always do."

She looked around. "Is Chen here?"

Jae Kyung leaned closer to her. "Chen is always around. But she's mastered the art of camouflage." She pointed to a mound of sand a few feet to their right. "For all you know, she could be in there hiding, ready to pounce at the first sign of danger."
