Cast: So Yi Jeong and Chu Ga Eul from Boys Over Flowers TV Show

Her eyes, her eyes,

Make the stars look like they're not shining

How Yi Jeong missed a pair of those beautiful eyes! The gentleness radiated there was still the same as four years ago, even looked softer as she stared at the little kids who were busy making various forms of clay. Those children restrained the black-jacketed man in order not to run and hug someone whom he missed so much. They were still too young to see any kind of romance scenes. That Pottery Master glanced at his watch. Half an hour until Ga Eul finished the time to teach.

"I'll be waiting outside, okay?"

Thirty minutes was nothing compared to four years.

"Ah… okay. Sorry, I can not leave them."

A big smile appeared on his face again. Of course he knew Ga Eul was unlikely to abandon her protege. He still knew that young woman's characters. He remembered them all by rote, because they were all on his mind for years. Hence it also did not hurt at all, although Ga Eul was the only woman who ever made him wait.

Moreover, the words of that little girl had made him happy beyond measure. Ga Eul was not possible to tell about him to that girl if she had met her soulmate. Although they were often communicate on the phone, but Yi Jeong could not make sure that he had no rival. They might even be on different continents! He realized that the innocence of that girl's words made him relief. This anxiety was buried in his heart to the point that he was afraid of exploding it. So Yi Jeong, the cassanova, was anxious for fear of being abandoned by a woman! How ironic!

Actually, it was fitting if he uninstal that title. He was not dating at all in Sweden. Even when he went to the club, he certainly just followed his friends. He did not heed the offer of the women who seduced him, no matter how sexy their bodies.

It didn't mean he was not tempted, but every time he considered a date that he could, each time Ga Eul's face pictured in his eyes. Although Yi Jeong was tortured because he could not vent his want, he was more tortured imagine if she know he hurt her again.

He did not want to do it again. He had caused too much wound on that innocent woman's heart. There were enough tears that he did not deserve. Even after his bad treatment in their last date, Ga Eul still cared about him. She encouraged him to deal with his problem, comforted him when he did not even know if he still could be entertained. And revealed the message...

All the memories immediately flooded just like torrential rain.

Yi Jeong contacted her friends while waiting in front of the kindergarten classroom. He did not tell anyone he was going home today. And as he promised before, Ga Eul was the first person he met upon his arrival in Seoul. First he called Woo Bin, then Jun Pyo, and Ji Hoo at last. They gave the same reaction, surprised and said they would meet him soon. Yi Jeong refused and took the next day to gather. Today he wanted to spend his time for someone... that sweet kindergarten teacher.

Her hair, her hair

Falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful

And I tell her everyday

"See you tomorrow!"

Yi Jeong turned to find Ga Eul was smiling as she accompanied her students out of class. Then she waved cheerfully until the last child picked up by her father. Yi Jeong noticed the woman next to him. Her hair was formed a half ponytail and curly, like when they went out for their first pretended date to get revenge on an ex-boyfriend who dumped her. She was beautiful, of course. Her face was typical of Koreans, but among all Korean women, she was the prettiest.

"Yi Jeong-sunbae, why do you look at me like that?"

"You're even more beautiful than I remember."

Four years not seducing women, Yi Jeong still did not lost his ability. A pink hue adorned Ga Eul's cheeks directly.

"Don't tease me. I will not believe you." She shook her head, but looked down to hide her embarrassment. Yi Jeong laughed. If men do not think Ga Eul interesting, something is wrong in their vision. But it was better that only he knew how beautiful his girlfriend was.

Could he think so?

I know, I know

When I compliment her

She will not believe me

And it's so, it's so

Sad to think that she does not see what I see

"Kaja! We're going home."

Yi Jeong said the words calmly, but in his heart he was almost choked with joy. He would go home with someone he missed most of the world.

His Ga Eul.
