Let's Begin

He had been dreaming. Fields of yellow and purple, the sweet dulcet tones of his mothers soothing voice, the fingers that weaved through his... he felt whole and complete. He had cried out as it was wretched away from him, the dream fading, the shrill cry of the doorbell waking him.

He groaned as he opened his eyes, willing the dream not to leave him. But it was too late, the emptiness was creeping in, through his veins into his heart - he was alone.

Begrudgingly he shuffled to open the front door, if only to stop the noise so he could return to his bed in peace.

A tall figure barreled past him carrying two black ruckus bags. Her long, dark curly hair whipping him as she went by. Throwing down one of the bags she whizzed down the hall straight into his room.

"What are you doing?" Ji Hoo stared at her confused. Yulina and him were barely on speaking terms anymore. What was going on?

"I'm packing" She replied in French.

Ji Hoo knew that French was the fall back language she used with him when she was agitated and that was clearly the case. Yulina flung open drawer after drawer searching for shirts, shorts, socks, anything she could throw into the bag. Ji Hoo raced to close the last drawer before she could pull out underwear too.

Yulina gave him a hard stare and, keeping her gaze fixed on his face she reopened the offensive drawer, grabbed a random handful of items shoving them into the bag without looking.

Turning her back to him she opened his wardrobe and grabbed shirts and trousers at random, wrinkling them without care.

"Jan Di" she began but the words felt stuck in her throat.

"What about Jan Di?" Ji Hoo replied quickly, his breath hitching.

"She left for Macau."

"Yes, I was there." Ji Hoo's replied calmly waiting for an explanation.

"Mhm" Yulina said as she zipped up the overfilled bag in one fluid motion. "She's alone"

"Gu Jun Pyo is there..." Ji Hoo protested, his eyebrows furrowed in annoyance.

"She's alone." Yulina repeated in a harsh tone.

Ji Hoo caught the bag as it was thrown to him wordlessly. He understood now. Grabbing his phone, keys, wallet and passport from a desk nearby he chased after the ebony haired women and found her waiting for him, with her own bag ready, by his front door.

"Let's go." Ji Hoo said, finding his voice again.

As they left his home and climbed into Yulina's red corvette he made a silent wish, 'Jan Di be safe.'

The F2 were already waiting at the airport, packed and ready when they arrived. Woo Bin handed everyone a first class tickets. Placing a heavy arm across Yulina's shoulders the pair walked ahead towards their gate, followed by a grim Ji Hoo and a pensive Yi Jeong.

"Yea, let's go save the Wonder Girl" Woo Bin called out as a battlecry.

With each step Ji Hoo's heart ached. The alarm was so loud now he knew he wouldn't be able to calm down until she was safe again and in his arms. His hands trembled, his entire body a tight spring ready to explode. He willed his body to calm down as he lowered himself into the plush, oversized chairs in the first class section.

'There is nothing I can do now but wait'. His brain knew this but his heart still pounded hard against his ribs in protest.

~%~%~%~%~%~

Yulina explained to Woo Bin how she and Ga Eul had heard from Jan Di. Her faced flushed with sadness for her friend, she cast her eyes down, "I never thought she'd actually fail. If I had even half a notion...".

"Stop, it's not your fault." Woo Bin cut her off. Grabbing her chin he raised her face up until he could look her in the eyes. Their breaths mixed as he gradually leaned forward, their foreheads touching.

He ran a hand lazily up along her bare arm. "It's not your fault." He repeated softly. The Don Juan was startled when he looked into her pale blue eyes and saw them filled with unshed tears of worry and fear.

Yulina was usually so strong, he loved that about her. Jan Di would stand up against injustice and Yulina would be right behind her, confronting the guilty and punishing the unrepentant. Ever since the incident after swimming, when Ji Hoo saved Jan Di when she was assaulted by a group of boys seeking to use a red card to their advantage, Yulina had stood up as Jan Di's personal enforcer. Stopping the red cards once and for all and willing, unlike Jan Di, to use force if necessary to end the violence and malice the F4 had brought on her.

Nodding softly against him, Yulina stowed away her fears, they wouldn't help. She couldn't be self absorbed, there was no time to wallow, Jan Di needed them focused and at 100%.

"Thank you." she whispered back breathily before giving Woo Bin's lips a feather light kiss. The low growl she received back made her pulse quicken and the corners of her mouth turned upwards as she raised her eyes to take in his. The fire there was powerful and it stirred her core.

"Do you know how much I want to..." the auburn haired man's voice, so dangerously low, threatened to undo her.

"Soon." She promised back to him, resting one finger against his plump lips to silence him.

No one slept, no one ate anything, no one rested the entire flight.

Yi Jeong barely even made an attempt at flirting with a passing stewardess. Looking at each of the F2, he felt the odd one out. Ji Hoo was so entirely in love with Jan Di he glowed in her presence. His brother Woo Bin was taken with the Russian doll next to him. And he was here alone.

His thoughts wandered back to New Caledonia and his time with Ga-Eul; he wondered what she would be doing right now. Would she be working, putting the apron over her clothes, tying the ribbon behind her. His cheeks warmed as his thoughts continued and his head clouded with images of the porridge shop girl.

Immediately upon landing all four of them whipped out their phones, bringing up lists of hotels. Knowing Jan Di could not afford to stay at anything as expensive as a Shin-Hwa hotel they began to call around.

Ji Hoo declared that he would be the one to make the hard call. The call to Jun Pyo: What had happened, was Jan Di with him, was she safe? His mind raced through all the possibilities. She could be in Jun Pyo's arms right now and he would be the fool who chased after her for no reason, like he did for Seo Hyun not so long ago. But the alarm in his heart told him no, that was not the case. She needed him, she needed him desperately.

Maybe... just maybe like he needed her.

~%~%~%~%~%~

It was Woo Bin who first saw her, they'd been wandering around for over an hour, showing her picture to anyone they passed. Starting at the Shin-Hwa Hotel they followed her route. Fortunately Jan Di tended to attract attention wherever she went. Unfortunately she also attracted trouble.

As the F3 threw the thugs threatening the Wonder Girl away, Yulina grabbed her wrist dragging her away to safety behind the three boys. The raucous fight stopped suddenly and Jan Di watched in surprise as one of thugs addressed Woo-Bin.

"Prince Song?"

Jan Di wandered mindlessly up to Ji Hoo, and both watched as the thugs dropped swiftly to the ground to grovel at Woo-Bin's feet.

Ji Hoo had felt his heart nearly explode when he saw Jan Di surrounded. Now that she was by his side he wanted to hold her, reassure her that she was safe, would always be safe. With a deep breath he reached out to grasp her hand. Tentatively he threaded his fingers through hers and his heart skipped a beat when she reciprocated.

A sour feeling arose in his stomach as Yi Jeong watched both couples walk away hand in hand. 'Soulmates. You really believe in such a thing?' his own words taunted him. Clenching his hands into tight fists he longed to throw just one more punch, 'but who am I really mad at? Ji Hoo or myself?'

Okay so this is my first draft of Chapter 1. Constructive criticism appreciated. I'll get more into the fun stuff soon, don't worry shippers.

I can't recall the exact details of the Macau episode but I'm making this an AU so I'm declaring unless it's a plot point it doesn't really matter!
