"Ga eul….."he mumbled into the phone…..
Ga eul grumbled as she led Yi Jeong to the guest room in his studio. He groaned and leaned more of his weight on her. She smelt the alcohol that was obviously the reason for his current state on his breath. She was guessing he had another encounter with his heartless father. She was getting tired of always saving him from himself although she knew that deep inside that wasn't true and she would always be there for him. She was scared this time though, it was past 2am and this was the first time he had called her for help. Usually it would be Woo Bin that called her informing her that Yi Jeong had disappeared or was looking rather murderous and he would claim she was the only one that could reach out to him.
How many times did she have to say to him that he will never be like his father? She thought in frustration. She knew him. His cold hearted Casanova façade was so easy to see through…at least for her. She helped him get unto the bed, kneeled on the ground next to the bed and stroked his face that was scrunched up in agony.
"I don't know what happened tonight Yi Jeong but you really need to stop doing this to yourself. It isn't your fault that your dad is a weasel and you will never be one yourself because I have seen that you are a lot more sensitive than you show the people around you…..I don't know how Eun Chan Jae made you feel better when you were younger...I want to be there for you but I don't know how too" She mumbled mostly to herself than to Yi Jeong who she knew was probably too drunk to register everything she had just said.
She waited a moment and she noticed he was now breathing steadily.
She got up from her knees and was about to head out the guest room door when a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Yi Jeong was sitting up looking directly into her brown eyes. He pulled her into a tight hug and whispered into her ear
"Gomawo Ga eul yang"
"Yi Jeong sunbae, what happened this evening?" she asked.. still in his arms.
Yi Jeong just shrugged and pulled and laid back into the bed still with Ga eul in his arms.
Why can't it wait 'til morning? So close your eyes
We can talk about it then
'Cause I've had a drink too many
And my troubles, well, I ain't got any
Why can't it wait 'til daylight?
Things will seem much clearer then
I'm tired and my eyes are weary
And I just want you lying here with me
I'll make it, oh, so nice
Yi jeong could smell her perfume and her soft skin in his arms. He pulled her even closer. It calmed him down and he never wanted to let go. Ga eul was surprised at Yi Jeong's actions but there was something about being in his arms that made her feel like that is where she was supposed to be. She closed her eyes and wished for the moment to last forever. Still lying on the bed Yi Jeong tilted her head up and kissed her softly and whispered
"I'm sorry Ga eul yang….for everything… and Eun Chan is nothing compared to you and what you have done for me" But I don't wanna think about what we've said So why can't it wait 'til next time? So close your eyes
And I don't wanna know why we hurt ourselves
'Cause I just wanna hold you so close to me
It'll take care of itself and I wanna sleep
'Cause that time may never come
Stay here with your arms around me
You're going nowhere without me
I'll make it, oh, so nice for you
Ga eul smiled "It's okay Yi Jeong I will always be there for you"
They continued to lay there…..no words said between them…they didn't need to say anything else. It would just have till wait till morning….
And just before they fell asleep Yi Jeong whispered "I love you Ga eul yang…."
