A Blessing In Disguise-Disclaimer- I do not own Boys Over Flowers or any of its characters! All rights belong to their respective owners! I’m only a fan that didn’t quite get the ending I wanted so I decided to write my own version of it :D Have fun reading this new chapter and please leave a comment at the end to let me know what you thought of this update! ^^
Late that night, after Jan-Di already went to bed and Yoon Seok-Young came back from the clinic, Ji-Hoo and his grandfather sat in Ji-Hoo’s office.
“How did she react?”, Ji-Hoo’s grandfather asked him. He had quickly heard of the events of the day through his personal secretary. Also he had seen the news at lunchtime and he too had felt immense rage come up in him. He had never been a huge fan of Gu Jun-Pyo or his family and now it only proved that he had been right to be cautious of them. From the moment on he had learned that Jan-Di was involved with Gu Jun-Pyo he knew that one day or another she would be deeply hurt.
“She broke down in tears. I feel so guilty, grandfather… Woo-Bin called me maybe a minute or two before she the TV! I was so shocked that I didn’t react fast enough and by the time I actually could react, she had already the TV and her tears were falling”, Ji-Hoo admitted to his grandfather and took a sip of his bourbon.

Don’t cajole her, treat her like you normally would. She’ll remember that. Now it’s getting late and we both should get some sleep, tomorrow will be a tiring day for everyone”, with that said Ji-Hoo’s grandfather walked out of Ji-Hoo’s office, wishing his grandson a good night.
Ji-Hoo stayed in his office, staring out the windows and thinking about the day and the future. Of course his grandfather was right about saying that she would’ve eventually found out about, but Ji-Hoo had hoped that she would at least get some more time in between all these shocks.
