Hello, Yes, I am here with the second chapter which I should have updated a long time ago. I was thinking that Jasmine is a lonely girl, and I wanted her to find love in Woo Bin. She will fall in love with Ji Hoo, but that doesn't necessarily mean that when you love someone, you should be together. If that person is happy, you are willing to protect whatever he loves. I want to develop this character with Ji Hoo, though it will be hard for me to pair him temporarily with Jasmine. This Jasmine will help pull out the stoic Ji Hoo, who will finally bring his emotions to light when Jan Di begins to feel jealous seeing the bond Ji Hoo has with Jasmine, just like in today's chapter. As this plot gets thicker, Jasmine will start standing in between Ji Hoo and Jan Di. I hope her character comes out well.

Jasmine, Ga Eul, and Jan Di chose their seats in the front row of the class since sitting at the back with students who didn't take their studies seriously would affect their grades and distract them from learning. They believed that being in the front row would help them stay focused and engaged in the lessons, allowing them to ask questions and participate in class discussions more easily. Additionally, they knew that their teachers would be able to see and interact with them better, which could lead to better academic performance and opportunities for extra credit or recommendations. The first lesson began, and Jasmine and Ga Eul, being new students, were asked to introduce themselves. Jasmine rose and introduced herself as 'Victoria Jasmine', and Ga Eul introduced herself as 'Chu Ga Eul'. The other students clapped politely, and the teacher smiled warmly at them. Throughout the lesson, Jasmine Ga Eul and Jan Di listened attentively and took notes, eager to learn and make a good impression.

During recess, Ji Hoo came to Jan Di's class since he knew where it was. He wanted to invite her and Ga Eul for lunch at the F4's private cafeteria, which was a rare opportunity for them. Excitedly, Jan Di and Ga Eul accepted the invitation. "Can we bring someone with us?" Jan Di begged with her puppy eyes.

"Sure," he said, looking around only to see an unfamiliar girl standing almost as tall as him. "Her?" he asked. According to his eyes, she was beautiful and had an aura of confidence surrounding her. Her blue, striking eyes were striking, and her hair was a rich shade of chestnut brown.

"Yes, her," Jan Di replied eagerly. "She's our new friend, and she is new here." Jasmine smiled warmly, extending her hand for a handshake.

"Hi, I'm Jasmine," she introduced herself. He took her hand, noticing the delicate silver bracelet on her wrist. "Nice to meet you, Jasmine," he said, returning the smile. "I'm Yoon Ji Hoo, but you can call me Ji Hoo." Jasmine nodded, taking note of his name. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous around him, but she tried to hide it with a friendly smile.

"Shall we?" Ji Hoo's gaze returned to Jan Di, wrapping his arm around her waist, and kissing her cheek, something he had never done in public. It was as if he were pointing out that no matter how many times they stare at him, his eyes will always be on one girl, and that was Jan Di's way of showing her his love and devotion even though she hadn't noticed it.

"What food are we eating today?" Jan Di asked.

"You will find out soon if you come." Ji Hoo replied smiling, and Jan Di smiled back.

Ji Hoo led Jan Di, Ga Eul, and Jasmine to the F4 private cafeteria, where Gu Jun Pyo, Yi Jung, and Woo Bin were waiting. "Hey, what took you so long? I'm starving." Jun Pyo complained.

"This is Jasmine, our new friend." Jan Di said she pulled her between herself and Ga Eul. Jasmine smiled shyly and greeted the F4. Yi Jung and Woo Bin welcomed her warmly, while Jun Pyo remained aloof. "This is Song Woo Bin," she informed her. "He's our big brother here.

"Woo Bin here is very gentle and extremely attentive to our needs. Perhaps overly attentive," she added with a mischievous grin while elbowing him in the waist.

Woo Bin smiled, pulling Jan Di's ear at how he had been described in front of a new girl. He was always eager to please and make sure everyone was comfortable around him. His kind demeanor and thoughtful gestures made him stand out from the rest. Jan Di couldn't help but about his attentiveness, but she secretly appreciated it. Woo Bin's charm and charisma were undeniable, and it was clear that he had a way with people. He was the type of person who would go out of his way to make sure everyone felt included and valued. Whether it was through his warm smile or friendly conversation, Woo Bin had a way of making people feel special. It was no wonder he had so many friends and admirers. Woo Bin was truly one of a kind, and Jan Di felt lucky to have him as a friend.

"Then," she approached Yi Jung and began. "What can a woman hope for if she has only So Yi Jung?" she sighed dreamily. "But you must remember that not every girl can be protected around him—" she added as she walked away from him after she noticed his smile fading.

Jasmine was intrigued by what she said. "What do you mean by that?" she asked.

"What she means is that you must wear a shield to protect yourself, just like us." Ga Eul finished the sentence that Jan Di couldn't complete. Jasmine furrowed her brows, trying to make sense of what Ga Eul just said.

"A shield? From what?" she asked, curious.

Ga Eul and Jan Di exchanged a knowing look before the latter spoke up, "From getting pregnant with no strings attached." Jasmine nodded slowly, understanding the gravity of their words.

"What?" Yi Jung asked, fuming at how the girls had introduced him. "Say it again," he demanded.

"We said that you have a reputation for getting girls pregnant and then leaving them," Jan Di repeated calmly. Yi Jung's face turned red with anger as he realized the truth of their words. He had always thought of himself as a free spirit, but now he saw that his actions had real consequences for the women he had been with.

He pointed a finger at her in a warning manner. "I will be the one to serve your food today; this time, Ji Hoo..." he pointed at him. "You're not saving her," he stated firmly and went to grab her wrist, but she easily dodged him and took her tongue out in defiance.

"Come and catch me if you can," she said, pulling her tongue while she held her hips once more, making the F3 laugh.

Ji Hoo raised an eyebrow, his expression unreadable. "I wasn't aware I needed permission to save someone," he replied calmly. Yi Jung's face turned red with anger, but before he could say anything else, "Let's grab some food before Jun Pyo eats everything," Ji Hoo suggested, leading the group to the buffet table.

…

Jasmine and Ga Eul sat at the big table of the F4 as they ate. Jasmine kept stealing glances at Ji Hoo, who seemed very cozy with Jan Di. He kept on cutting her food. She wondered why these two were close, yet the one Jan Di was supposed to be close to was Gu Jun Pyo. She could clearly see the connection between Jan Di and Ji Hoo in their eyes. They spoke with their eyes and seemed to understand each other without using words.

Jasmine could see that in such a few minutes she had gotten to know them She got to know that both Ji Hoo and Jan Di shared a secret language that only they could comprehend. As she watched them interact, Jasmine couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. She longed for a connection like that with someone, where words weren't necessary, and understanding was effortless. But as she observed the two of them, she also noticed something else—a hint of sadness in Ji Hoo's eyes. It was as if he wanted to express something to Jan Di but couldn't find the courage to do so.

"The food is very yummy today." Jan Di commented, shoving more meat in , and savoring the flavor of it. Ji Hoo and the rest smiled at her comment.

"The only thing you know is eating," Yi Jung said, putting more meat in . "Why don't you become a chef?" Jun Pyo added with a smirk.

"If I became a Chef, I would end up eating all the food I have cooked all in the name of tasting it," She replied as Yi Jung continued shoving food in all in the name of venting his anger on her.

"Yi Jung Sunbae," Ga Eul said, pulling his arm away. "Stop stuffing her with more food. She won't be able to move later."

"Fine." He spoke, his anger softening; after all, Jan Di was still their princess, and whatever she had said was only a joke and nothing more. Ga Eul let out a sigh of relief as Yi Jung stopped feeding Jan Di. She knew that her friend had a tendency to overeat, and she didn't want her to suffer from indigestion later. As for Yi Jung, she couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed at his behavior. He was always so quick to anger, and sometimes it seemed like he enjoyed taking his frustrations out on others. Ga Eul wondered if he ever stopped to think about how his actions affected those around him.

"Hey guys," Jasmine said, placing down her folk and getting the attention she needed, "Since it's my first time making friends in my entire life, why don't we go out for a vacation and get to know each other? It's my birthday this weekend and my parents won't be around, I hope I can have many friends to celebrate with."

"You've never had friends before?" Woo Bin asked in disbelief. Jasmine shook her head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"I grew up moving from one place to another because of my parents' work. I never had the chance to stay in one place long enough to make friends," she explained. Everyone nodded in understanding, and Yi Jung suggested they go on a beach trip.

"That sounds like a great idea," Jan Di agreed. "We can have a bonfire and grill some seafood." Jun Pyo grinned at the thought of cooking for everyone. "I'll make sure we have plenty of meat for grilling," he said with a chuckle.

"We can go to my villa," Jasmine suggested. She took out her phone to show the pictures of her Villa. As she showed them, she noticed how Ji Hoo and Jan Di threw flirtatious glances at each other before leaning forward to see the pictures.

…

Ji Hoo's heart raced as Jan Di allowed him to rest his cheek against hers while Jasmine displayed the pictures of her private villa on her phone. He didn't actually care about them, all he cared about was how he and Jan Di kept caressing each other's hands unconsciously. It was an amazing feeling that he ventured further while others were all drowned in seeing a nice luxurious place.

Ji Hoo gently wrapped his arm around Jan Di's waist and softly kissed her cheek when he felt her body quiver.

Sunbae. She thought turning to look at Ji Hoo who pretended to be concentrating on the beautiful pictures. Maybe he did that unconsciously.

After looking away, Ji Hoo turned his eyes to Jan Di and tightened his hold around her waist, drawing her gently against his chest. "I think going on a vacation is too early for this academic term," Ji Hoo suggested. "We should just plan a weekend out. Right, Jan Di?"

"What Ji Hoo Sunbae said makes sense," Ga Eul chimed in. She turned to look at Jasmine, who had her eyes on Ji Hoo, who was intimately holding Jan Di in his arms.

"I agree," Jasmine replied, tearing her gaze away from the couple. "A weekend getaway would be a nice break from our studies without sacrificing too much time. We could even plan some fun activities like hiking or visiting a nearby amusement park." Jan Di smiled at the suggestion, feeling happy about her friends' consideration. "That sounds perfect," she said, leaning into Ji Hoo's embrace. "I think it's important to take breaks and recharge ourselves so we can
