YiJung threw one his carefully crafted pieces against the wall, watching it shatter gave him a twisted satisfaction.
"Oppa, I am so glad you were able to visit me today. I missed you."
The stranger smiled at his GaEul and his heart filled with rage, how dare someone take his rightful place by her side. He was convinced the man had stolen her love from him as well. GaEul threw her arms around the stranger and held onto him for quite some time, pulling away only to smile at him again.
Soon after that, he had called the rest of the members of F4 just trying to find some information on the man that GaEul had been with earlier when YiJung had gone to pick her up. He had wanted to surprise her with a date, only to find that she was occupied with someone else already. Finally, JunPyo was able to tell him what was going...not that he was happy in any way to hear what he had to say.
"What do you mean that's her boyfriend?"
"Idiot, you heard GaEul call him oppa, what did you think she meant?"
"I-I don't know." He paused for a moment before asking the question he wasn't sure if he wanted the answer, "How long have they been...dating?"
"Only a few days."
"A few days?! And she is already telling him how much she misses him and hugging him freely?"
"Calm down, YiJung."
"I can't. I've screwed this all up."The rest of F4 knew how he felt about GaEul, better than he did probably. They had been
"What are you going to do?"
"I don't know…"
YiJung just gotten off the phone with his friend a few minutes ago. Since then, he had broken a good number of the unfinished pieces that had been laying around his studio. He would regret it in the morning but he needed the kind of release that only destruction could grant him.
What he had said to JunPyo on the phone was true though, he didn't know what he was going to do to win GaEul back. Or win her at all. All this time he had been pushing her away and treating her so terribly, all because he couldn't understand his own feelings. They were usually so wrapped up in the drama between JunPyo and JanDi that there was no time to think about personal relationships. Those two created so many problems that it often took GaEul and the rest of F4 to solve them.
For the first time in a while, JanDi and JunPyo were at a good place - much to everyone's delight - and it had given YiJung time to reflect on everything that had been going on. Needless to say, he was not entirely happy with what he discovered about himself. Somewhere along the line of sleeping with every girl possible and treating GaEul with the cruelty that he had been, he had fallen for her. Except he had ruined and rejected every advance she had made on him. To make matters worse, there had been so many opportunities for him to accept her heart. All he ever did was throw it back in her face.
The worst of all was Valentine's Day, he didn't even like to think of how he had treated her that day. She had waited for hours in the cold for him to come home so she could give him those handmade chocolates. All for him to show up with two random girls and invite her in anyways. He treated her like she was nothing and told her put her gift with the others that he received. YiJung wished that he had sent those girls way the moment that he saw GaEul waiting on his doorstep. More than anything, he wished she could have seen that he threw away the rest of his gifts and kept hers. The chocolates had been delicious, not that he had ever admitted it to anyone.
He liked being viewed as the playboy, then he didn't let anyone into his heart and risk getting hurt. But she was worth it, he knew in his heart that he could risk being rejected over and over again by her for just a chance to win her over. To win back the love that she had repeatedly thrown at him in the past.
Before he lost his will, he dialed JunPyo again, he was going to need some help for this one.
"JunPyo? I have a plan."
"We'll be there in an hour."
