Jan Di started down open mouthed at Ji Hoo as he slipped the beautiful silver flats onto her feet. A shy smile graced his lips as he started up at her through his thick lashes. She was speechless, Jan Di didn't know what to say.

"Is it to your liking?" he asked gently.

Jan Di tried to respond but the words clung to her tongue. Not that Ji Hoo was expecting an answer right away.

"I wanted to buy you something special with the first money that I earned myself." He gave a short pause before adding. "Thank you."

"Sunbae." She gasped giving him a small smile. Jan Di couldn't meet his eyes. Ji Hoo was really too good to her at times.

A figure caught her attention, the blood drained from her face, her heart sinking. Standing a few feet away was Jun Pyo, his face twisted in agony. Jan Di felt herself stand up mechanically. Seeing her heartbroken expression Ji Hoo stood up and walked over to his best friend. He was tired of her hurting, and more tired of his best friend treating her emotions so lightly.

Anger sugared inside him like crashing waves, it was time Ji Hoo ended things once and for all.

"Why did you come?" He asked Jun Pyo coldly.

Jun Pyo kept his gaze on Jan Di. "I have no need to answer you. And you? What are you doing?" He grounded out. Jun Pyo needed to talk to her, explain everything to her. He didn't want her to look at him with that sorrowful expression anymore.

"Do you think you have to right to ask that kind of question?" Ji Hoo tightened his fist at his sides.

"Yoon Ji Hoo!" Jun Pyo roared finally meeting his friends glare with his own, his rage and misery boiling over.

"Because you were my friend, I gave in to you! Because she was my friend's girl, I let her go and I gave you every opportunity until the very end! I'm not going to tolerate it any longer!" Ji Hoo yelled frustrated.

Gu Jun Pyo couldn't hold back any more, he had to hit something. He pulled back his fist and sent it flying forward, colliding with Ji Hoo's jaw. He watched in horror as his best friend collapsed onto the ground, his eyes squeezed shut against the pain.

"Stop it." Jan Di said firmly taking a few steps forward. Her eyes began to shin with tears.

Jun Pyo looked at her, his own eyes shining tears.

"Why did you come? Do you have something to say?" Her words were pleading.

Jun Pyo opened his mouth but he couldn't say it. Couldn't say that he loved her and he never wanted to hurt her. But he couldn't, all he could do was stare at her. The first girl he ever loved with all his heart. No matter how much he loved her, all he ever managed to do was hurt her in the end.

He looked away no longer able to hold her tear filled gaze.

"Ok. I understand." She croaked. "I'll go."

His head whipped around in time to see her helping up Ji Hoo, the tears slipping down her cheeks. Ji Hoo whipped the blood away from his mouth and met his friends gaze once more.

"I'm not going to be patient any more. I won't hold back any longer." He promised grabbing hold of Jan Di's shaking hand.

Jun Pyo sank to the floor, his heart finally shattering. He couldn't hold back his tears any longer. He came all this way only to fail and hurt Jan Di once again.

"Jan Di." Jun Pyo crocked. He couldn't even let her go, Jun Pyo knew that.

He would do everything it took to win her back.

A few days later…

Jan Di sipped her milk a blissful grin gracing her lips. Last night was an eye opener for her. Jan Di finally figured out what her new dream was. She took another sip anticipation humming through her veins, she couldn't wait for Ji Hoo to get there. She wanted to tell him all about last night.

Ji Hoo opened the door to their secret place, a content smile on his face. For the first time since they got back form Macau, she was smiling again.

"So you do still come here." He teased, half relived that she found comfort in their first meeting spot.

Jan Di turned and her smile grew wider. "Sunbae!" She blinked, at his new appearance. His hair was shorter, giving her a better view of his handsome face. Her heart sped up a little, she could feel the heat creep up her face. Jan Di quickly ducked her head, digging around in her bag for another bottle of milk.

Ji Hoo gave her dashing grin as he took it for her. He took a huge gulp, watching her do the same from the corner of his eyes.

"Has something good happened?" he asked seriously, turning to her.

She coughed in shocked. "How did you know?" She asked wondering not for the first time if he was a mind reader.

Chuckling he poked her forehead. "It's all written right there."

A giggled bubbled up inside her, and she told him everything, about helping to deliver a baby. About how she was volunteering at the clinic and even about her new dream of wanting to become a doctor.

Ji Hoo noticed the spark lighting her eyes, the same spark that she always had when she talked about swimming.

"Although whoever hears this would definitely say I'm crazy," She sighed. "If someone as stupid as I am says she'll be a doctor, everyone would sneer, eh?

Ji Hoo turned away, his voice low. "Geum Jan Di, you've gone crazy haven't you? Completely crazy!"

Jan Di's heart sank a little, she never expected to hear those words from him. She ducked her head, tears burning the back of her throat.

He gave a short laugh and looked over at her. "Finding something that you like enough to be called crazy about, is incredibly difficult, don't you know?" She turned her head and met his amused gaze. "Does it matter? What other people say? Since when did Geum Jan Di concern herself about that?"

A grin light her face once again. Jan Di forgot that he knew her better than anyone else. He was always there for her, her solemn voice of reason.

"Sunbae."

"You just have to do it if you want to."

"No matter how many years it takes?" She teased lightly.

"Yes, no matter how many years it takes."

Ji Hoo held up his milk proudly. "For Geum Jan Di's new dream."

They toasted, grinning like fools.

"I like your hair." She said pointing at his new do.

He grinned at her, over the rim of his bottle.

Jan Di couldn't help but think that things were looking up for her. Ji Hoo was at her side encouraging her new dream, and Jun Pyo was far away.

Or so she thought.

Neither Jan Di nor Ji Hoo knew it but things were about to really heat up.
