Chapter One: A Couple of Innocents

It was 10 o'clock on a Saturday night in Seoul, South Korea, and Woo Bin was restless. This meant he wanted to be out partying at some lavish night club, flirting with older women and drinking too much. It was a very different scene from where he was now, hanging out in the F4's private game room, watching two of his bestfriends and their significant others play video games.

"Just look at us," said Woo Bin, sliding up next to Ji Hoo, who was quietly rifling through the CD collection. "We're completely left out, while the four of them can't stop smiling at each other."

Ji Hoo gave him a vacant expression and stayed quiet, scanning the two couples, Jun Pyo and Jan Di, and Yi Jeong and Ga Eul, cheering on each other at the racing game on the screen. Vacant as it was, Woo Bin knew what he was thinking having known Ji Hoo since they were children. He was agreeing but decided that it wasn't all that important.

"Maybe it's time to find us a couple of innocents. They seem to be the way to go."

"Woo Bin, are you saying you're looking for a wife?" asked Ji Hoo. Woo Bin made a noise and Ji Hoo smiled.

"Yes!" Jun Pyo exclaimed, leaping up from the couch and throwing down the controller. He had obviously won the game, and Yi Jeong looked annoyed but in good spirits. "Ga Eul, you should've taken a note from Jan Di and found a winner instead of dating this loser."

Ge Eul blushed and grinned shyly at Yi Jeong. "I'm perfectly happy with who I'm dating."

"That's my girl," Yi Jeong smirked.

"Jun Pyo! Stop playing around, we have to go," Jan Di shouted at him, kicking his leg. "Mother-in-law is forcing me to go shopping early tomorrow. She wasn't satisfied with the dress I wore for the Shinwa University Banquet. I've been her paperdoll since we got married." The last part was followed by a sigh, and Jun Pyo laughed.

"What? You prefer her sabotaging our relationship instead?"

"No, but—"

"Ok, then don't disappoint the old hag."

Woo Bin snickered. Everyone caught eyes with each other and amusingly listened to Jan Di and Jun Pyo go at it. Finally, they told everyone goodbye and left laughing and playfully arguing loudly.

"I'm taking Ga Eul home," Yi Jeong announced, sliding his arm around Ga Eul. "See you two later."

"Bye," Ga Eul sweetly waved and smiled.

Woo Bin and Ji Hoo were left in quietness. It was known through the F4 that Woo Bin and Yi Jeong were closer, and Ji Hoo and Jun Pyo were the same, but when they were all together, things felt correct, complete. They would always be best friends, the F4, no matter what happened, but for the past few months, there had been so many changes taking place within their group. Woo Bin really enjoyed the company of Jan Di and Ga Eul, but he wasn't sure if he was comfortable with anymore change occurring.

"I should leave too," said Ji Hoo. "Another early morning at the hospital."

"But the night's still young. Let's go to a club."

Woo Bin knew he would refuse. Ji Hoo hated dance clubs, didn't prefer drinking, and didn't seem all that interested in talking to women. The only girl he surrounded himself with was Jan Di, his best friend other than the F4.

"Go have fun," replied Ji Hoo, patting him on the shoulder before leaving.

Woo Bin listened.

He went out and did the usual, drinking late into the night and flirting with girls, swearing to all of them that they should be models. He called for some of his father's men to bring him home, and when he stumbled through the door to his mansion, no one was waiting for him to ask where he had been.

While he lie there in bed, fully clothed and sweating, he vaguely wished for a funny, tough wife like Jan Di or a smart, adorable girlfriend like Ga Eul who would scold him for drinking so much and coming home too late. Goodness, all of his friends had it good these days. Even Ji Hoo kept busy.

But unlike the rest of them, even Jun Pyo, Woo Bin couldn't just be with any girl who he fell in love with. There was the matter of his lifestyle. Not the lavish, flower reputation he had as one of the Flower 4, but the other reputation. The one that was becoming more prominent as he grew older and his father grew more threatening among other warlords and gangsters.

He would need a girl to understand that this was a part of his life that was dangerous for the both of them. He doubted any girl like Jan Di or Ga Eul would accept this and fall into his arms to be his girlfriend or wife.

It wasn't the best time to think about things like this, he mused, rolling over to lie on his side. Not when he was full of alcohol and had lipstick smears hidden in places on his body. No, he had a lot of single life left.

Author: Just a small intro chapter. Things start happening in the next chapter, led by Ji Hoo. I am obsessed with this drama and the Japanese version as well. Unhealthily obsessed lol. While Gu Jun Pyo (and Domyouji) is my favorite character, I wish that Ji Hoo got to have a love too. Same with Woo Bin. Several chapters to follow. Please review and let me know what you think. Thanks!
