Chapter 15

Third Time Lucky? [EDITING]

Jan Di looked like a vision in white as she walked on the ramp.

“Woah, Guem Jan Di, you look really beautiful. Jun Pyo is one lucky son of a witch to have won your heart” said Woo Bin

Jan Di blushed “Thank you sunbae” she said shyly and then looked expectantly at Ji Hoo, waiting for his reaction.

“You look really beautiful” he said and smiled warmly at her. He then turned to Mandy who was standing next to him “You did good”.

“Good? I kicked ; without me she wouldn’t have this dress because I’m pretty sure she and Ga Eul wouldn’t have been able to convince the shop assistant to comply with their wishes.” Ji Hoo smiled widely at her and bowed in front of her with his both hands parallel with his shoulders; as a sign of respect.

 

Everyone laughed at Ji Hoo’s ‘salute’ to Mandy. Jan Di went back into the changing room but soon called out for Mandy again.

Mandy went to check on her “What happened? Is something wrong?”

“No, I just needed your help in getting out of this dress so that I don’t destroy it, now that we have finalized it and all.”

“Ok sure”

As Jan Di changed her clothes, Mandy ensured that the dress didn’t get damaged.

“Thank you sunbae” said Jan Di

“No need for that, it was my pleasure to help you today”

“But I have much more to thank you for.”

“Huh?”

“Ji Hoo sunbae” Jan Di had been worried about Ji Hoo since that day in the club, the way he was hurting himself. But she had seen him become more carefree since he had become good friends with Mandy. He laughed more and didn’t seem lost in his own world. She had been dreading Ji Hoo’s reaction to her wedding dress, how he would feel because the girl he liked was now getting married to his best friend. “Thank you for taking care of him. I was very worried about him about how he would handle this whole situation but it looks like he is coping well and all thanks to you; don’t deny it” said Jan Di

“Well it was my pleasure to be of help in that matter too. Ji Hoo is just such a sweet and innocent guy and I love that about him. He has that aura around him that just pulls you to him.”

“I know what you are talking about”

 

“He’s like a …” “angel sent from heaven” both the girls said together. They looked at each other and burst out laughing.

“And he mostly wears white” said Jan Di

“But I think he will be okay with your situation; he just needed some time to heal and I think he is ready to move on.” Said Mandy

“I hope so”
“Don’t worry about him; what you should be worrying about is your wedding and your honeymoon.” Mandy said wiggling her eyebrows “So where are you going?”

“I don’t know, probably on world tour or even maybe some private island. Jun Pyo has kept it a secret from everyone; only Jun Hee unnie knows.”

 

“Jun Pyo’s elder sister right?” Mandy confirmed

Jan Di nodded

“From what Ji Hoo has told me, she seems like a very cool person”

“Ji Hoo sunbae talked to you about her?”

“Oh yeah, he told me everything about you guys. I know your life stories; but you looked surprised” Mandy said

“Ji Hoo sunbae doesn’t talk much about his past, and that to anyone outside the F4, so I am just surprised that he told you everything.”

“From what I’ve observed, he is the one who always listens to his friends’ problems but no one is there to listen to his. He just needed that person and by chance I became that person. There was so much pent up inside him that when he opened up, it all came out.” Mandy said

“Well then I have to thank you again for being that person. And you can meet unnie in a few days.” Said Jan Di

“But how?”

“At the wedding of course, you are coming to my wedding right? Oh stupid me, I didn’t even send you an invite. I promise that it’ll reach you tomorrow.”

“You don’t have to do that out of obligation.”

“No, I want to; and actually had another favor to ask you too” said Jan Di

“What is it?”

“Would you become my bridesmaid?”

“Huh?”

 

“Please sunbae, I only have Ga Eul as my bridesmaid, whereas Jun Pyo has three best mans. Please sunbae, do this for me.”

“Ok, but that depends on which color I have to wear” said Mandy as Jan Di hugged her in excitement

“Any color you like” said Jan Di, overly excited about Mandy becoming her bridesmaid.

“But won’t that disrupt the dress code”

“There is no dress code or color. Everyone is wearing anything they like”

 

“Then I will wear something in a dark hue like maroon or burgundy; something like that.”

“How about you stay here and I bring you that dress from outside?” asked Jan Di

“from here?”

“uh huh”

“I don’t think they would have my size, after all it’s a designer boutique and they don’t keep anything above size four.”

“And what size are you?”

“An eight”

“I’m sure I would be able to find something, just stay here please.”

 

When Jan Di appeared from the changing room, Ji Hoo and Woo Bin gave a sigh of relief that they wouldn’t have to endure seeing any more dresses. But when Jan Di told them that they weren’t done yet, the two friends again sat down on the sofas and asked the attendant to bring them some more tea.

 

Jan Di quickly rushed back in with five brightly colored dresses on a rack. “These are all very good Jan Di, nice choice” complimented Mandy “and all in my size; you are awesome”

“Now quickly try these on sunbae; the guys are losing patience just sitting there” warned Jan Di

“When are guys ever interested in shopping” and both the girls laughed

“But stop calling me sunbae okay; it seems too formal” Mandy said

“Then I’ll call you unnie” Jan Di said grinning

 

Jan Di then reappeared after 5 minutes of going back; in her normal clothes.

“Where is Mandy?” asked Ji Hoo

“She is trying on a dress”

“She is getting married too?” asked Woo Bin sarcastically

“No sunbae; it’s for my wedding; I asked her to be my bridesmaid and she agreed” said Jan Di excitedly. At that moment Mandy called for Jan Di. Later on the seamstress also joined them. When they all came out, Mandy was in her normal clothes.

 

“What did you chose, aren’t you going to show us that too?” asked Woo Bin in the same tone as before

“What has happened to you today? Why are you being so rude?” asked Ji Hoo

“I told you I didn’t want to come; you guys dragged me here”

“We are almost done, don’t worry” said Mandy cheerfully “Why don’t you finish off your tea while I and Jan Di settle the bill and then we’ll go. And Ji Hoo why don’t you come with me, I think I left my wallet at home so why don’t you pay for me now and I’ll pay you later.” Mandy said, dragging Jan Di and Ji Hoo away from where Woo Bin had sat down to finish his tea.

 

“You have your wallet in your bag” Ji Hoo said when they were near the counter

“I know; I just wanted to talk to the both of you. I’m worried about Bhai, he seems worried about something.”

“Yeah I noticed that too, he is always so cheerful and supportive” said Jan Di “What should we do?”

Just then Mandy remembered a place down the street she had seen that might be of use. “I’ve got an idea” she said, smiling gleefully.

She whispered her plan to Ji Hoo and Jan Di and both agreed.

 

Mandy went over to where Woo Bin was sitting and told him that it was time to go.

“Where are Ji Hoo and Jan Di?” asked Woo Bin as they got out of the shop

“They went ahead of us to the next shop” said Mandy

“There’s a next shop? I thought we were done for the day”

“The previous plan was that only but as we got free early, Jan Di thought she would do another task so that it can be finished off. But don’t worry, I promise it’s the last stop for today and it’s nothing boring like dress fitting.”

“Fine then, let’s go” sighed Woo Bin

 

As they entered the building, Woo Bin saw that the sign was covered with a sheet and inside also, anything that would give away what the structure actually was, was also covered. Woo Bin got suspicious and started asking questions.

“Just keep on walking” said Mandy and dragged him by the arm.

“This is it” she said again after a few meters, pointing at a door.

As he entered, Woo Bin almost got a heart attack from the setting inside.
