Yi Jeong and Ga Eul's wedding approached. F4 had been doing their best to minimize the press over Yi Jeong and Ga Eul's wedding, as they had done for Ji Hoo and Jan Di's wedding. It was even more of a challenge for Yi Jeong's wedding, though. Despite Ji Hoo being the grandson of an ex-president and a prominent member of society, he was known for keeping to himself. Ji Hoo's privacy had always been very important to him. He had always been the mysterious figure of F4, the one people admired from afar but didn't stalk; they didn't dare for fear of incurring his wrath for invading his precious privacy.

Also, Ji Hoo didn't get around with the ladies like So Yi Jeong had, so despite him having many female admirers there weren't psychotic ex-girlfriends coming out of the woodwork when he and Jan Di got married. Yi Jeong; however, had a number of his former women coming forward now, some with pleas that he reconsider his marriage and others with simple words of jealousy and hatred. Most were not so bold as to mess with Yi Jeong directly, though, and instead targeted Ga Eul.

Jan Di and Ga Eul were having lunch out together one day when Ga Eul was approached by a woman…

The woman began shouting that she was not good enough for So Yi Jeong and that she was just a gold digger and a dirty little tramp. Jan Di rose immediately with tightened jaw and hauled off as if she was going to punch the woman in the face, but Ga Eul calmly stopped her enraged best friend. Afterward, Ga Eul confessed that she'd been receiving some hate letters.

This infuriated Jan Di. Ga Eul hadn't wanted anyone to know of her troubles; she hadn't wanted to bother anyone with it. But Jan Di couldn't help ranting to Ji Hoo about the incident, pacing around the room, making a fist, and saying how badly she'd wanted to hit the woman...

Ji Hoo gently took Jan Di in his arms and comforted her. "It's OK. Don't worry. I'll take care of it," he whispered.

Jan Di pulled back from him, "What are you going to do? …Ga Eul doesn't want Yi Jeong Sunbae to know about it. She doesn't want him to get upset." Jan Di somehow felt like she was betraying Ga Eul by telling Ji Hoo about it, but she was really concerned… She didn't want to see Ga Eul bullied like she had been; she couldn't stand for it.

"Well, if you were threatened I wouldn't want you to keep it a secret from me," Ji Hoo replied.

"She wasn't exactly threatened…insulted I guess, but she did tell me that she received some hate mail…" Jan Di's face contorted in anger, and she clenched her fists tighter.

"I think Yi Jeong should know about this," Ji Hoo rationally said. Jan Di nodded.

"Don't worry, it'll be OK," Ji Hoo assured.

When Jan Di was upset, Ji Hoo was upset too. So, he brought up the incident to the rest of F4. Yi Jeong's usual calm demeanor momentarily flew out the window upon hearing of the incident, but Ji Hoo was able to calm him, and Woo Bin and Joon Pyo promised to take care of it for him.

The day before the wedding, Ga Eul rushed to Jan Di and Ji Hoo's home. Jan Di had seen her coming and met her at the door. Ga Eul was breathing a bit heavily.

"Ga Eul, what's wrong?" Jan Di demanded, immediately fearing the worst. Had someone else harassed her or tried to harm her in some way? Was something wrong with a member of her family? Jan Di felt herself tensing.

"I'm getting…," Ga Eul breathed, "…married tomorrow!" Ga Eul's chest was heaving. She seemed excited but there was also a hint of panic in her voice.

"I know, Ga Eul," Jan Di smiled at her.

"But, I'm marrying…So Yi Jeong…I'm marrying So Yi Jeong, Jan Di!" Ga Eul exclaimed, as if this was news. The panic in her voice increased exponentially as she spoke his name for the second time.

Jan Di simply smiled again. "I know that, Ga Eul. What's the problem?" she asked calmly.

Ga Eul's breathing rate increased once more. She fought to steady her ragged breath and her thumping heart. "What if I can't…make him…happy?" Ga Eul stared down at her pink flats.

Jan Di put a hand on Ga Eul's shoulder, "Of course you'll make him happy. He loves you like crazy… Just ask Ji Hoo," Jan Di added with a grin.

Ga Eul slapped Jan Di's arm playfully, "Oh, I couldn't possibly do that!"

"It's true. We give him crap about it all the time," Ji Hoo's calm voice came from across the room.

Ga Eul gasped, mortified. She pulled Jan Di away by the arm to the next room, "Why didn't you tell me Ji Hoo Sunbae was here?" she hissed.

"I thought you knew; he's sitting right over there…" Jan Di motioned toward the couch.

Ga Eul exhaled sharply. She hadn't even noticed Ji Hoo sitting there, with leg crossed and silently reading a book. He truly was like a ghost at times. Ga Eul cringed. Her face was beet red now.

"Don't worry, I was just leaving," Ji Hoo said, picking up his jacket and walking past them. "Going to see your lucky groom-to-be, Ga Eul," Ji Hoo gave her a smile.

Ga Eul shot him an awkward smile.

"You guys aren't going to get too wild, are you?" Jan Di held up a finger in warning.

Ji Hoo gave a short laugh, "Well, wild isn't in my plans, but as for the rest of F4…who knows?"

Jan Di gaped at him and smacked him on the arm. Ga Eul looked at him sheepishly.

"You're being really evil tonight," Jan Di glared at Ji Hoo.

"I was just kidding," Ji Hoo turned to Ga Eul, "We'll probably just hang out at the clubhouse and shoot some pool and talk." He smiled and touched Ga Eul's arm as if to reassure her that he'd look out for Yi Jeong. Then, Ji Hoo approached Jan Di and gave her a chaste kiss on the cheek. "Bye hon, I'll be back later."

Jan Di had managed to calm Ga Eul, and they were on their way to meet up with Jae Kyung and Alex for drinks and karaoke.

"It feels kind of like we're going to be sisters-in-law," Jan Di commented along the way.

Ga eul smiled and nodded. "Yeah, it does."

The girls knew how freakishly linked the members of F4 were; they were like brothers, more so than most biological siblings.

Jan Di had long since been welcomed as an honorary female member of F4, long before she was married to Ji Hoo. She smiled at the recollection of Yi Jeong calling her their mascot and Ji Hoo calling her a friend and slipping his arm around her shoulders when she met Joon Pyo's mother.

Meeting Joon Pyo's mother, not the most pleasant of memories, she thought… But, she couldn't help but smile at how Joon Pyo had taken care of her and how F3 had immediately shown up as back-up.

Now, Ga Eul had also been welcomed into the strong, handsome arms of F4. Yes, because she was Yi Jeong's fiancée, but also because they'd all grown to love her, too. She, like Jan Di, had captivated them in her own special way. Even Joon Pyo had given his approval upon his return to Korea and welcomed her into the fold. Joon Pyo had Ga Eul stand before him and F3 and told her that there would be an initiation. Ga Eul had stared at him wide-eyed, wondering what it could possibly be.

Yi Jeong had swooped in and put his arm around Ga Eul, "Joon Pyo was joking. There's no initiation; you pass with flying colors, Jagiya," and he gave her his brilliant smile.

Joon Pyo had ranted for awhile about how Yi Jeong had ruined his initiation. And the others simply laughed about that.

Jan Di and Ga Eul met up with Jae Kyung and Alex. Jae Kyung had insisted upon renting a private karaoke room for them. Ga Eul and Jan Di had hoped for something low-key, but Jae Kyung had gotten involved. Jae Kyung was her typical vibrant self, and she eagerly greeted Jan Di and Ga Eul and hugged them.

"You remember Alex Lee, right?" Jan Di asked of Jae Kyung.

"Mm." Jae Kyung recalled from the wedding. "Nice to see you again," she said and held out her hand to Alex.

A round of drinks was brought out to the girls. Jan Di turned down the drinks and asked for water.

"You're not going to have a drink, Jan Di?" Ga Eul asked.

"No. In case I get paged or something…"

The girls nodded and took shots.

Jae Kyung jumped up to the mic and started belting out a pop song, while the others sat there and listened, smiling. Jae Kyung was certainly a performer. Once her song was done she insisted that Jan Di go up, and Jan Di chose a simple love ballad. "Ooo, are you going to sing that for Ji Hoo?" Jae Kyung taunted. Jan Di chuckled awkwardly. Little did Jae Kyung know that Jan Di had already serenaded Ji Hoo just this past week.

The girls encouraged Ga Eul to sing, and she did so. Having a private room made it a little less embarrassing. Ga Eul also chose a slower love song and received some taunting for it. Finally, the girls turned to Alex. She had simply been watching them all and not saying much, which wasn't her personality.

Jan Di smiled faintly at Alex. She probably felt like she didn't belong, Jan Di thought. Jan Di tried to make some conversation with Alex. Alex began to talk with Jan Di, but Jae Kyung started insisting that Alex sing and gave her the list of songs. Alex flipped through and chose an upbeat power ballad. She quickly threw back another shot before going up there.

Jan Di, Ga Eul, and Jae Kyung listened to Alex sing, and they discovered she had a very nice voice and quite the range. She was a bit tipsy by now, but just enough that it gave her confidence, and she belted out the song as if she were performing a concert. The girls all smiled. Then she came back to the table and was received with warm clapping.

"How ya holding up, man?" Woo Bin asked of Yi Jeong, as F4 sat around their clubhouse.

"Fine," Yi Jeong gave his confident trademark smile. "You know, I was just thinking that Ji Hoo is the only one of us who knows what it's like to be married...," Yi Jeong said with irony in his tone.

Ji Hoo grinned despite the subtle insult, though he couldn't help feeling a bit uncomfortable with the topic, given that Joon Pyo was in the room. The whole thing still felt rather awkward for Ji Hoo. But, he'd simply have to work past it.

"Yeah, who woulda thought that Ji Hoo would be the first one married?!" Woo Bin added. "I should've placed money on it! Would have made a bundle!"

Ji Hoo lightly punched Woo Bin in the arm. Joon Pyo simply smirked over at F3.

Yi Jeong chuckled. "Any advice, Ji Hoo-yah?" he asked with a smirk.

Ji Hoo grinned, unable to resist teasing his good friend a bit. "Are you asking me how to please a woman?"

This elicited raucous laughter from F4's Don Juan and Casanova. Woo Bin slapped Ji Hoo on the back, "That's a good one, Ji Hoo-yah!" Ji Hoo wondered if perhaps he should be insulted. Ji Hoo glanced to Joon Pyo, who shook his head but was clearly holding back a grin. Woo Bin and Yi Jeong remained doubled over in laughter for a few more minutes.

Ji Hoo cleared his throat. "Anyway...," Ji Hoo began once Yi Jeong and Woo Bin had regained control of themselves.

"My advice to you is…," Yi Jeong leaned forward, propping his elbow upon his knee and resting his head on his fist.

"…Treat Ga Eul like a queen, or Jan Di will kill you," Ji Hoo said, as he picked up his guitar.

Woo Bin laughed, and Joon Pyo smirked. Joon Pyo knew of Jan Di's temper; they all did. And Joon Pyo had experienced her wrath firsthand. But Yi Jeong also knew that he could never possibly do otherwise than treat his beloved Ga Eul like a queen.

"How's it going with Alex?" Yi Jeong asked, putting the heat on Joon Pyo. Woo Bin turned to him, and Ji Hoo had to admit he was curious, too.

"Aish, why are you bringing her up?"

"Uh oh," Yi Jeong smirked, "What's wrong? Are you two not getting along, again?"

Joon Pyo scoffed, "She wants to meet the Old Witch..."

F3 grew wide-eyed.

"Ooo, meeting the mother…I smell a commitment…" Woo Bin teased.

Joon Pyo punched Woo Bin in the arm. "Commitment," Joon Pyo scoffed, "Yeah right…"

"What, you don't like her?"

"I do…" Joon Pyo mumbled.

"You don't sound too sure of that, Joon Pyo," Yi Jeong remarked.

"Aish," Joon Pyo grumbled and picked up the video game controller.

"Well, if you don't like her very much then maybe you better let her know. She seems…pretty attached to you," Ji Hoo commented.

F3 looked to Ji Hoo. "From…what I've noticed," Ji Hoo added and began strumming his guitar.

"I do… I do like her, OK!" Joon Pyo raised his voice.

"Does she know that?" Ji Hoo asked matter-of-factly, as he continued to finger the guitar.

"She should! Why don't you mind your own business?!" Joon Pyo shouted and fired up the game.

F3 digressed.

"Well, she's pretty brave, wanting to meet your mother...," Woo Bin commented, "Someone like Alex, though, your mother will probably love her…she's rich, comes from a powerful family…"

"Yeah, that's what I said," Joon Pyo mumbled.

"Still, your mother is the biggest snob I've ever known, Joon Pyo, and she always finds some reason to hate everyone…" Yi Jeong said.

"Yeah, and Alex is only half Korean, so she might find some way to twist that into a bad thing…," Woo Bin remarked.

"And her father did have those dirty dealings…," Yi Jeong added.

"Yes, but look who we're talking about…," Ji Hoo said.

Joon Pyo scoffed and continued playing his game. F4 decided to switch topics and vowed to refrain from talking about women the rest of the night.

The girls continued to talk and drink, except for Jan Di. Ga Eul stopped early before she felt too much of an effect. Jae Kyung kept going. Jan Di had heard from Yi Jeong and Woo Bin that Jae Kyung had an amazing tolerance for alcohol for a girl. Alex did, too, but she took it even further, and toward the end of the evening she was completely intoxicated.

That got Alex talking, and she started mentioning her problems with Joon Pyo. It began as a rant about what a stupid jerk he was, which Jan Di and Jae Kyung could relate to. They simply listened and nodded. Still, all three girls knew that Joon Pyo had a softer side and that he wasn't truly a jerk deep down.

"I can tell you all about Joon Pyo…we were engaged for a little while," Jae Kyung said, "And so can Jan Di." Jan Di waved her hand as if to pass on this one. Jae Kyung began to give Alex well-meaning advice and stopped her from calling Joon Pyo a couple of times when she got the urge to get some things off her chest.

The F4 brothers spent the next few hours shooting pool, joking around, and reminiscing about the old days. Things had changed for them so much, yet at the same time not so much... They certainly had more responsibilities than they used to. They all were in the midst of successful burgeoning careers. Ji Hoo was married, and Yi Jeong was preparing to get married.

"When's the last time we did something crazy?" Woo Bin suddenly asked.

They all looked between each other. Joon Pyo rubbed his chin. They'd come a long way since their days of bullying and torturing others, which had mainly been spearheaded by Joon Pyo. They hadn't done that since Jan Di. They had instead found other, more appropriate, ways of entertaining themselves.

F4 put their heads together on what they could do on So Yi Jeong's last night as a single man. Joon Pyo, of course, wanted to do something spontaneous like taking his plane on a quick trip somewhere. Ji Hoo was the voice of reason stating that it didn't make sense given their time allotment.

Woo Bin suggested going clubbing, as well as a couple other wild ideas. Ji Hoo vetoed those, and Yi Jeong wasn't thrilled by the suggestions either. Ji Hoo suggested something low-key, and Yi Jeong agreed, wanting to keep a low-profile that night especially. Yi Jeong truly wanted to avoid any place where others would easily recognize them. Though, that didn't leave a lot of options.

Joon Pyo started to jokingly talk about what the commoners like to do, as if he'd suddenly reverted back to his elitist ways. F3 sometimes teased Joon Pyo about being the kinder, gentler Goo Joon Pyo now, but truly he hadn't changed all that much in their eyes.

"You know, that's not such a bad idea," Yi Jeong began, rubbing his chin, "Something commoners would do…" So, F4 decided to do something no one would expect of them…

Joon Pyo thought of Jan Di's family. He grinned and suggested going to a bathhouse. F3 looked at him in sheer horror. He was finally able to convince them to go for a steam at the sauna, but they refused the public washing of each other. Woo Bin recalled joining Joon Pyo for a steam and informed the others that it was not so bad.

Afterward, Joon Pyo took the men to his favorite street vendor for fish cakes on a stick. He recalled eating them with Jan Di's brother and father. He suddenly felt inexplicably nostalgic…

Joon Pyo looked back upon those times fondly, and he had to admit that there were times when he missed Jan Di. He would occasionally feel a small ache in his heart, but it had subsided greatly. He didn't yearn for her like before. He was healed, or at least healing… And he felt that he'd finally come to a point where he could be happy for his best friend and for the girl who had changed his life.

And Joon Pyo had also gotten to a place where he wanted to be a part of the group again, the F4 family. For awhile, he had to admit that he avoided interaction with Ji Hoo and Jan Di to some extent. There was still some awkwardness there, but the memories were no longer like daggers poking into him, and his memories of Jan Di instead brought a smile.

It took some convincing, but F3 tried the street food. F4 had experienced the world's finest cuisine, but Joon Pyo still wanted fish cake skewers from a street vendor… Woo Bin and Yi Jeong had been very hesitant, recalling their not so pleasant evening spent with Joon Pyo's ex-fiancee Jae Kyung. Ji Hoo was more willing to try them. He had become somewhat accustomed to those types of foods, considering Jan Di was his wife.

"What next?" Woo Bin asked after finishing off a fish cake skewer, that he reluctantly admitted to liking. He watched Joon Pyo polish off several more in mere seconds.

The bachelorette party ended at about 10:30, and Alex and Jae Kyung were taken home. Jan Di hoped that Alex and Jae Kyung would be OK. Jae Kyung was only tipsy, but Alex was pretty drunk.

Jan Di and Ga Eul went to Ga Eul's place for a bit for some last preparations and for some best friend time. Jan Di asked Ga Eul about how things had been going. And Ga Eul told Jan Di that she hadn't experienced any further threats, stalking, or insults, so apparently F4 had done their work and had done it well. Jan Di wasn't sure how they had done it, but F4 had their mysterious ways of making things happen when they really wanted them to.

Later that night, Ga Eul admitted to Jan Di that she was very nervous about the wedding night… It wasn't a topic either of them was comfortable discussing, and perhaps Ga Eul only brought it up because she had a little alcohol in her system. Jan Di honestly never expected to be the first one married nor to be in the position of dishing out advice on the subject.

"How can I possibly…please So Yi Jeong…," Ga Eul blushed, "He's had…so much experience…" Ga Eul hated the thought, and she tried not to think about it much. She had decided long ago that the past should stay in the past and to only worry about their future. But still, when thinking on being his wife, she couldn't help but worry that she would be a letdown…

Jan Di put a hand on Ga Eul's shoulder, "Ga Eul, it's going to be completely different for you two. It will be special because you love each other."

Ga Eul smiled appreciatively at Jan Di.

"I was nervous, too, Ga Eul. Really, really nervous," Jan Di admitted. "In fact, I practically hid in the bathroom from Ji Hoo for nearly an hour getting ready on our wedding night," Jan Di smiled to herself at the memory.

Ga Eul gave a short laugh.

"Yes, I was nervous on my wedding night, but it was really perfect," Jan Di smiled, recalling the experience. "I'm sure it'll be that way for you."

Ga Eul smiled warmly at Jan Di.

"One thing I've learned from Ji Hoo is that when a man loves a woman he doesn't really care about those little things that would bother us… And when you love someone…all that matters is being with them," Jan Di said.

Ga Eul smiled; she felt that way, too. And she wanted nothing more than to make So Yi Jeong deliriously happy for the rest of her life. To love him, have a family with him, the whole beautiful picture…

Ga Eul and Jan Di spent the next hour talking about the wedding and about old times. And Jan Di could tell that Ga Eul was truly, blissfully happy about marrying Yi Jeong. When she spoke of him she had the biggest smile upon her face, stars in her eyes, and the hint of a blush in her apple cheeks.

Jan Di hugged Ga Eul and left her to get some rest before the wedding.

F4 ended up at a neighborhood pocha at the end of the night. They walked in; the place was occupied but not busy. Green netting and strings of lights canopied the space. Soju bottles hung from the walls, and there was the strong scent of kimchee in the air. Joon Pyo recalled the scent well. Joon Pyo and Ji Hoo glanced around curiously. Woo Bin folded his arms, and Yi Jeong gave a subtle look of disgust at the tackiness of the place. Still, they took a seat.

Who would expect to find F4 at such a place? To see the powerful and impressive Joon Pyo, the handsome and cultured Ji Hoo, the smooth and dangerous Woo Bin, and the beautiful and charming Yi Jeong sitting in a little neighborhood pocha was unheard of. And some people did take notice and glanced over as if they couldn't believe their eyes. But for the most part, F4 had managed to stay under the radar that night.

Ji Hoo informed the group that he would not be drinking on the off chance that some emergency arose at the hospital. He wasn't on-call per se, but if some catastrophic event happened he could be paged. Woo Bin joked that he could be their designated driver, but they didn't really need one anyway. They all had personal drivers.

F4 talked of many things that night, and the conversation intensified as they drank. They talked of old times; they talked of their lives, the expected and the unexpected. They did their best not to bring up their women, but they somehow came up anyway. Yi Jeong lovingly spoke of his Ga Eul; Ji Hoo talked of Jan Di, and Joon Pyo even fondly shared stories of Alex. Though he wouldn't admit it sober, Joon Pyo seemed to be attached to her.

However, during one anecdote about Alex, a tipsy Joon Pyo mistakingly called her by Jan Di's name. Ji Hoo flinched visibly at this. Ji Hoo did his best not to let it get to him and chalked it up to Joon Pyo's inebriated state and perhaps a bit of nostalgia. They had just been talking about her, after all. But wasn't it supposed to be Yi Jeong who was nostalgic about his past tonight?

Yi Jeong had been surprisingly calm throughout. He didn't seem to have any problems with leaving behind his amorous past. He'd resolved to do that long ago when he fell for Ga Eul. And he had no regrets.

"We should make some kind of pledge to always make time for each other, to keep F4 alive?" Yi Jeong suggested. The men all agreed and ended their night with that promise.

It was after midnight when Ji Hoo arrived home to an eager Jan Di.

"Did you guys have fun?" she asked.

Ji Hoo nodded.

"So, what did you guys do?" Jan Di asked. Ji Hoo had no alcohol upon his breath, but he did smell faintly of...squid and kimchee?

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," Ji Hoo quipped.

Jan Di glanced at him suspiciously, "Should I be concerned?"

Ji Hoo laughed, "No, you just wouldn't believe me." Ji Hoo seemed a bit…preoccupied to Jan Di…

"What about you?" he asked.

"You wouldn't believe me either."

Ji Hoo nodded again.

"Is something bothering you?" she asked.

Ji Hoo was still trying to shake off Joon Pyo calling Alex by Jan Di's name. Surely it was just a simple slip of the tongue… Surely Joon Pyo wasn't still harboring feelings… Ji Hoo decided it best not to torture himself over it. "No, everything's fine," he said in his most sincere voice and wrapped Jan Di in a hug that was slightly too tight.

"Sure you're OK?" she asked after regaining her breath from his bear hug.

"Yes. I just missed you," he replied.

Jan Di smiled. "I missed you, too. Coming to bed?"

He nodded. "Yes, soon."

Jan Di touched his arm and went to the bedroom. Ji Hoo sat in his chair for a bit, thinking. It was certainly possible that Joon Pyo still had remaining feelings for Jan Di, but how strong were they? He wondered if his best friend had truly moved on…

Ji Hoo had been grateful when Joon Pyo finally stepped aside and accepted Jan Di and him being together. And it didn't bother him that Joon Pyo and Jan Di seemed to have a special connection…not really. He didn't feel threatened by that. He had a special connection with her, too; he was her husband, after all. Still, at times he worried about his best friend, his brother… Could Joon Pyo ever be truly happy without Jan Di?

Ji Hoo determined to shut his mind off for the time being, and he went to bed. Jan Di was lying there, still wide awake when he came in.

Ji Hoo climbed in and glanced over at Jan Di, "What are you thinking about, my love?"

Jan Di had been thinking of her dear, sweet Ga Eul, who had been her best friend since kindergarten. She smiled at the thought of her treasured friend in her wedding dress the next day, how beautiful she would look and the sweet smile on her face as she stood next to the man of her dreams, her soulmate… It made Jan Di so happy that each of them had found their soulmates in life.

"Oh," Jan Di shook her head, "I was just thinking about Ga Eul…," she smiled wistfully.

"…Do you think Yi Jeong Sunbae will be a good husband to Ga Eul?" Jan Di asked.

"I have no idea," Ji Hoo replied honestly. Jan Di gaped, not expecting that response but rather reassurance.

Ji Hoo glanced over at her and smiled, "I don't know what kind of husband he'll be, but I know that he'll do his best."

Jan Di nodded but she couldn't stop an unpleasant thought from creeping up. "Ji Hoo-yah…," she paused, considering her words, "…Yi Jeong Sunbae will be…faithful…to Ga Eul, right?"

Jan Di couldn't believe she'd said such a thing and immediately regretted it. She knew that Yi Jeong was a changed man and that he loved Ga Eul dearly. Jan Di thought a great deal of So Yi Jeong; she loved him like an older brother. Still, this was her best friend, so she couldn't help but feel a bit protective.

Ji Hoo smiled. "Of course he will," Ji Hoo kissed Jan Di's forehead. "He better or he'll have to deal with you, me, and the rest of F4…"

Jan Di smiled faintly, knowing that he was not really joking. She was confident that if Yi Jeong did ever hurt Ga Eul that Ji Hoo, Woo Bin, and even Joon Pyo would make him pay for it. That is, if Jan Di didn't rip him apart with her own bare hands first.

Noticing Jan Di's continued unrest, Ji Hoo added, "There is no doubt in my mind that Yi Jeong will be a loving, faithful husband to Ga Eul."

And Jan Di realized that she knew it, too. "Thank you," she gave her husband a sincere smile. And then she felt as though she could go to sleep.

The day of Ga Eul and Yi Jeong's wedding arrived. F4, Jan Di, Ga Eul, Alex, and Grandfather all flew to a private island that Yi Jeong had purchased by way of Joon Pyo's private plane. Yi Jeong had made arrangements for his and Ga Eul's families on both sides to be flown in, as well.

The island was breathtaking, with crystal-clear turquoise ocean as far as the eye could see, white sandy beaches lined with palms, majestic waterfalls, and beautiful floral covered meadows. Yi Jeong had taken Ga Eul there once while they were dating, and she'd fallen in love with it.

They'd discussed where to have their wedding, and Yi Jeong had of course offered Ga Eul whatever she wanted. Ga Eul was not a materialistic girl, so she wanted a small wedding, simple, sweet, and romantic. Yi Jeong was more than willing to oblige. A small beach wedding with their families and closest friends was perfect for both of them. And after all, Yi Jeong had first felt a spark of interest in Ga Eul when they'd gone to New Caledonia, though he wasn't sure what it was at the time. She intrigued him then.

Yi Jeong wondered when he had fallen for Ga Eul... Perhaps it was when he saw how persistent Ga Eul was in conveying Eun Jae's message to him, or when she avidly pushed him to continue with his pottery after his hand was injured. But he'd noticed her long before…

An hour before the wedding Jan Di was helping Ga Eul to get ready. Ga Eul was in her dress, a flowing chiffon and charmeuse beach dress. The dress had a modest lace trimmed sweetheart neckline with thin straps and a double layered ruffled skirt. Jan Di had seen the dress on her before, but when Ga Eul walked out that day Jan Di couldn't help but feel tears form in her eyes. Ga Eul had done her own makeup; it was natural, soft, and sweet, just like Ga Eul. Ga Eul had a natural rosy glow to her cheeks already that day.

Ga Eul had asked Jan Di to do her hair, though Jan Di did not feel she was skilled at it. Jan Di curled Ga Eul's hair and put it up, and then she added the finishing touch of a white orchid in her hair.

"You look beautiful," Jan Di smiled widely at her best friend with moistened eyes. Jan Di scoffed at herself and quickly wiped away the tears. Ga Eul smiled at Jan Di's attempt at maintaining her tough girl image, while fighting back her own tears so as not to wreck her makeup. Ga Eul thanked Jan Di and wrapped her arms warmly around her. Then Ga Eul placed a kiss upon Jan Di's cheek.

Ga Eul had been surprisingly calm that day, and it appeared her freak out about marrying the famed Casanova had run its course. She now looked peaceful and happy, as she finished getting ready and spoke fondly of the cards that the children at school had made congratulating them.

Yi Jeong and Ga Eul were to be married on the beach at sunset. A beautiful arch had been set up, decorated with a garland, blush and white roses, white hydrangea, and sprigs of ivy dangling down the side. A white aisle runner sprinkled with rose petals covered the sand, and the aisle was flanked by candles. Yi Jeong stood under the archway waiting calmly yet eagerly for his bride with hands clasped in front of him.

Ji Hoo smiled lovingly at Jan Di when she appeared dressed in a short blush colored chiffon dress, and she returned the look. Woo Bin wore a proud smile, as he linked arms with Jan Di to walk her down the aisle. Woo Bin gave Jan Di a friendly squeeze on the arm before releasing her at the end. Jan Di went to Ga Eul's side, while Woo Bin moved to Yi Jeong's.

Then Ga Eul appeared like a vision at the end of the aisle on her father's arm, her dress and hair gently moving with the wind. Yi Jeong felt his breath catch within his throat when he saw her, and he felt his heart begin to pound.

Oh, the effects she had upon him! Seeing this lovely woman walk down the aisle to him brought about sensations that no other woman had ever given him. As Ga Eul walked slowly but steadily down the aisle, her large chocolate eyes met Yi Jeong's, and she smiled sweetly at him.

Upon reaching the end of the aisle, Ga Eul's father lifted her veil to place a kiss on her cheek before lowering it once more. Ga Eul's father proudly yet hesitantly handed her over to the awaiting arm of Yi Jeong. Ga Eul looked to Jan Di, who was beaming at her. She gave her best friend a smile that spoke volumes, as she handed off her bouquet of orchids and lilies.

Jan Di glanced to Ji Hoo, who was also looking at her. Ji Hoo tossed Jan Di a wink and with great effort tore his eyes from her to focus upon his close friend and the bride. Alex sat next to Joon Pyo. She tentatively slipped her hand into his, unsure of whether or not he would return the gesture. Joon Pyo squeezed her hand ever so slightly.

Ga Eul and Yi Jeong exchanged vows, and it seemed that no two people had ever been more suited to one another. And then Yi Jeong pulled Ga Eul into his arms and kissed her in a way she'd never been kissed before.

After the wedding, everyone celebrated at a reception on the beach under the stars and hanging lanterns. Round tables were set up with lily centerpieces and lined with votives. They all had dinner and danced together on the beach.

Yi Jeong and Ga Eul retired early. They would be staying there that evening but then flying out to another destination for their honeymoon. The guests were given free reign of the island, but Jan Di and Ji Hoo decided to just stay for the night.

Ga Eul and Yi Jeong ended up being engaged for less than a year, so their wedding happened to fall the week before Ji Hoo and Jan Di's anniversary. Jan Di and Ji Hoo had gone to Paris early due to some important upcoming surgeries for Ji Hoo and Jan Di's exam. It had been a better time to go. Ji Hoo was relieved it had worked out.

The actual day of their anniversary arrived. Jan Di had made Ji Hoo a special dinner of all his favorites, and Grandfather had offered to make himself scarce so they could be alone.

Ji Hoo brought flowers for Jan Di and kissed her at the door. Jan Di led Ji Hoo to the dining room, and they sat down together to eat. Jan Di seemed anxious throughout dinner, and when Ji Hoo asked about it, she simply smiled and assured him that everything was fine.

"How's the food?" she asked.

"It's great. You didn't need to do all this," he said sweetly, "It's your anniversary too, you know."

"Well, you already took me to Paris, so I wanted to do something for you, too," she said. "And I have a surprise for you after dinner."

"Another surprise? You've been surprising me a lot lately."

Jan Di smiled affectionately. She'd been uncertain about the song, but there was no doubt in her mind that he would be ecstatic about this particular surprise.

Ji Hoo had loved the song she'd written for him, and he felt it would be hard for her to top that surprise. But she was the Wonder Girl after all… And it didn't matter to Ji Hoo, anyway. Just being there with her was enough for him. But Ji Hoo had to admit he was curious about this surprise.

After dinner, Jan Di took Ji Hoo's hand and led him to the couch. She sat down with him. Then she took both his hands in hers and squeezed them. He gazed into the depths of her eyes, as she smiled lovingly at him.

Jan Di took a deep breath. "Ji Hoo-yah, the surprise is…that I'm pregnant."
