Chapter 1: Business is Business

Dressed in designer suits, the F4 found themselves in front of a large conference room door. For years, these business giants had conquered the Asian business market, but never before had a deal left them at the edge of their seats. Being nervous was an understatement, especially for the F4 leader.

"Hmm so today's that meeting with Geum, Sounds interesting right Jun Pyo", Yi Jung would laugh as he'd nudge his friend.

"Just business nothing different about it," the heir of Shinwa would reply. He gave his best neutral face, but none of his friends were buying it.

"Ah come on, it's a special project." Ji Hoo jokingly said.

Woo Bin commented ,"I think it's his enemy were working with. Geum seems to steal all the deals and contracts now, so it's hard for Shinwa to get them."

He then looked at Jun Pyo who did not look impressed. "Just shut up and open the door."

Jan Di would sit as she'd tap her fingers off the table of the conference room. "Shinwa Huh, Business is Business."

Ga Eul nodded. Seeing the doors open, she stood up and bow to the respected work partners. She then looked at them and realizing who it was, she quickly sat back down," Nice to meet you, I'm Geum Jan Di, I'm am leader of Geum. Since we've been forced to work together, I hope we can at least try to get along. This is Ga eul, She is a co-partner, and owns the HP company."

The F4 boys looked at each other, then Yi Jung spoke," Jandi, Ga Eul, wait! You are the co-workers with us?" He then looked at Ga Eul. Her hair was still long but with blonde highlights and it had a wave to it. She wore a faded tint of pink on her lips, and the clothes she was dressed in was a white shirt with a patterned collar and a black long skirt. She looked different. Ga Eul looked at him, also studying him and she realized his appearance was similar. Nothing changed except the different haircut but he wore that usual smirk on his face.

"Nice to meet you." She'd bow. Business was Business was what Jan Di and her agreed.

"Are you really going to be this way?" Woo Bin would speak, looking at Jun Pyo who just looked at Jan Di. She would look back at him and then look away.

"Business is Business," Jan Di said. "So we should discuss the plans. It seems that they want to build a new museum around the area, and a few new hospitals. We should discuss this contract first. This should be a strict contract according to the supervisor.

Jun Pyo would look at Jan Di as he'd remember her, but she was never this strict. He nodded, "I guess. What are your conditions."

Ga Eul would take a notebook out as she coughed to clear her throat, then speak with a firm voice. "Our conditions are as follows. Business and Personal are separate. We only meet up to talk about business, also if you need myself or Jan Di you must contact us through our secretary, and we will get back to you. All contact will be terminated at the end of the project, and meetings for us will be held in this Geum building, and HP's offices, and visits will only be made with permission." She handed over the contract. "Any objections?"

The leader of F4 shook his head. "Were not strangers. All of us know you both. Why treat us like strangers? You seriously want all contact terminated at the end of the project?" He looked at Jan Di, who was tapping the table.

"It is as it says. If you disagree with the conditions, then you can leave and we will find a contract with someone else, and make an excuse up to why we aren't working together. Take it or leave it." She crossed her arms, showing no signs of changing the contract.

Jun Pyo looked at the rest of F4, as they noticed the same thing. Ga Eul and Jan Di had changed a lot, even their looks reflected it. Her cute outfits including cartoon characters were replaced with dark coloured outfits. Her hair was no longer short with her fringe covering a part of her eyes. The rest of her hair was straightened and went down her back. Ga Eul was similar except she still had on a pink bracelet with bears, she had worn when she worked in the porridge shop. Neither of them even broke into laughter or a smile during the meeting, it was like only work processed through their minds.

Half way through the meeting, the room went silent and an uncomfortable atmosphere surrounded them all. Jan Di and Ga Eul's attitude to F4 bothered them all deeply, especially Yi Jung's and Jun Pyo's. The girls wouldn't keep eye contact long with either of them and only spoke about work. It made them wonder what exactly had happened the years all of them were separated...
