Geum Jan Di sat out on the balcony of her apartment. She had a glass of wine in one hand and a tissue in the other. Her thoughts were all over the place as she watched the sun set behind the skyscrapers of Seoul. Her tears had already dried, but her eyes were puffy.

Gu Joon Pyo walked through the front door to find her luggage unpacked in the foyer.

At least she's here, he thought.

He searched the apartment frantically, throwing doors open to various rooms and calling Jan Di's name. She heard him, but couldn't bring herself to speak. Finally he saw her silhouette on the balcony. Sighing and running a hand through his hair, he made his way to her.

"Jan Di-ah" he said. She still stared forward. He got down on one knee in front of her and placing his hands over the one holding the tissue, he said again "Jan Di-ah. Look at me, please."

She slowly directed her bleary eyes to his face. "Unless the next words out of your mouth are I seriously messed up, Geum Jan Di, then I don't want to hear it. I'd rather be alone."

"Jagiya, I know this isn't what you wanted to come home to, I'm sorry..."

"Jagiya? Aigoo...You think I want to be called that right now?" Jan Di said and yanked her hand away from Gu Joon Pyo. "I've put up with a lot the last few years, jagiya. I've waited patiently while you kept delaying our marriage. I've been supportive. But this. This! How could you, Joon Pyo? How could you?"

"How could I? What did I do? I did nothing! If my mother hadn't intervened, this wouldn't be happening."

"And you think that's okay? Not doing anything?"

"That's not what I meant."

"Even Ji Hoo-sunbae said you told him I was the one putting off the wedding."

"...Wait, Ji Hoo?" Joon Pyo was taken aback, "When did you talk to him?"

"He was at the conference in Toronto." Jan Di said nonchalantly.

Joon Pyo raised his voice slighty, "Why didn't you tell me? Are you keeping secrets now?"

Jan Di was at her limit and shouted, "Yah! Gu Joon Pyo! You're one to accuse me of keeping secrets! And the reason I didn't tell you is because you never bothered to call me after your precious contracts were ruined by coffee!"

"I told you Jan Di, I was busy..." Joon Pyo tried to defend himself.

"You're always busy." Jan Di said as she stormed back into the apartment. She grabbed her purse off the couch and headed for the door.

"Geum Jan Di! Where do you think you're going?" He grabbed her by the arm and spun her around to see tears in her eyes.

"Out." She yanked her arm from his grasp. "You don't get to pick and choose when you're concerned where I am and what I'm doing." And with that she slammed the door shut behind her.

"AISH!" Gu Joon Pyo grabbed a vase sitting on the foyer table and smashed it into the wall.

A/N: I realize this chapter is short but with the frequent updates over the last few days, I think I will be forgiven ;) I'm fleshing out where I want to take this story next. It seems like Yoon Ji Hoo will be with Geum Jan Di in the end right now, doesn't it? Does Gu Joon Pyo still have it in him to win back her heart? We have A LONG way to go before this story ends, my dear readers. So don't bet on either guy yet. I'm not giving any hints, so you'll just have to be patient. I sincerely thank you for reading, thus far. It has been the comments and views that have kept me inspired to keep writing this fanfiction. *bows*
