READ: I decided to try my hand at a slightly AU fic. In this one, YJ and GE had no 'special' relationship before he left for Sweden. So it all starts from scratch from there. ;) Hope you guys like!
Chu Ga Eul shot a disapproving look to the girl who just came out of the door. Her hands covered her face and she was crying loud. The girl bumped into Ga Eul on her way and she got a glimpse of the girl's crying face. She sighed as she realized it was someone she knew. It's like they actually want to get their hearts broken, she thought scornfully. She glared at the door the girl just exited, the one she was about to enter.
"Jerk." She muttered.
"Who is it this time?" a voice over her shoulder said. She turned to find Jan Di standing there. She smiled in greeting and answered her best friend's question.
"Remember the girl we went to grade school with? The one who's family won the lottery about three years ago?" Jan Di nodded, "Since then, she became one of the elite girls. You know, So Yi Jeong's type." She finished, her tone filled with dislike.
"Poor girl," Jan Di shook her head, "How long have you been waiting? You could've gone in." Jan Di told her. They were standing outside the infamous F4 lounge where they were about to meet the foursome.
"I just arrived when I saw the heartbreak express pull up." She said, referring to Yi Jeong's latest victim.
"Oh, well let's go in then." Jan Di took her arm as they entered the door.
"Yah! What took you so long? You're almost one hour late!" Jun Pyo's booming voice said to Jan Di.
"One hour?! It's only 5 minutes after 6! I don't how I'm going to live with someone like you!" she yelled back. Ga Eul laughed at the newly engaged couple. Even after being separated for 4 years, they still argued like teenagers.
"Jan Di! Ga Eul!" said a voice the two girls haven't heard for a long time.
"Jae Kyung unni!" Jan Di exclaimed, leaving Jun Pyo at the entrance. Ga Eul followed and they both hugged their old friend.
"When did you get in? Why didn't you tell us?" Jan Di asked.
"About two hours ago. Of course I wanted it to be a surprise!" Jae Kyung told them. She was smiling such a bright smile that it was hard not to smile as much.
"Did you come for Jan Di's wedding?" Ga Eul asked as she almost forgot about her issues with a certain playboy's ways.
"I don't understand why she had to cry that much." A voice, unmistakably to be Yi Jeong's, said, talking about the crying girl.
Almost.
"Oh, Jan Di, Ga Eul, you're finally here." Woo Bin greeted them as he came down with Yi Jeong. Ga Eul took one glance at the Casanova's face and immediately looked away.
Yi Jeong smirked at this. Ji Hoo came down after them and greeted the two girls.
"Since we're all here, we should probably head out." Woo Bin told them.
"Where are we going?" Ga Eul asked the group.
"Dinner, of course. Unless you'd rather cook porridge for us, Ga Eul yang." Yi Jeong teased. Ga Eul shot him a cruel glare and left the room first. Idiot. Jae Kyung and Jan Di followed and hooked their arms around Ga Eul's.
"C'mon, you girls ride with me." Jae Kyung then pulled them to her awaiting car.
"He got even worse after he got back." Ga Eul muttered as sat down the leather seats of the limo.
"Who did?" Jae Kyung asked curiously. Jan Di answered for the fuming Ga Eul.
"Yi Jeong sunbae. Ga Eul here is against his…lifestyle." She said, patting Ga Eul's back.
"I just don't understand why he has to play with girls' feelings like that just because he can! He thinks that with that charming smile…" The two girls gave Ga Eul a weird look as she said this. She laughed nervously, mentally hitting herself with a baseball bat, "Annoying! I meant annoying smile of his, he can get whoever he wants and then just leave them when he gets bored!" she finished her rant. Jae Kyung laughed at Ga Eul's face that was red from anger.
"Well, you're really passionate about this, Ga Eul," Jae Kyung started, "In fact, if I didn't know better; I'd say you kind of like Yi Jeong." She teased her younger friend. She laughed even more as Ga Eul's face turned to an even deeper shade of red.
"Like him?! I absolutely detest him! How could I like someone who probably doesn't even know what love really means." She answered, outraged. Yi Jeong was definitely not her type; she has hated him ever since he made that visit to the porridge shop years ago and pissed her off. He was spoiled, cold-hearted and a jerk, everything Ga Eul hated.
"You know what, you're right! Yi Jeong has probably never been in love…" Ga Eul didn't even let the heiress finish. She had so much to say.
"Of course not! He's not capable of loving anyone more than he loves his stupid self." She grunted. She gets pissed just by talking about him.
"Ga Eul, you do realize those were almost my exact words about Jun Pyo, right?" Ga Eul couldn't believe that even Jan Di was teasing her now. What is the world coming to? She decided to relax a little bit to avoid any more teasing from her two so-called friends.
"Listen, I don't know what you two had to drink but you're talking crazy." She said, as calm as she could possibly manage.
"You're right, Ga Eul. We'll stop." Jan Di said. Jae Kyung, however, felt a light bulb fire up. She had a brilliant idea.
"Say, Ga Eul, do you think if a certain someone managed to get under Yi Jeong's skin, he'll change his ways?" she mused.
"It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, Jae Kyung unni. Impossible." She answered with a straight face, careful about her reactions since Jae Kyung was still very much in teasing mode.
"I'm sure that's not true. Weren't you the one who said that everyone has a soulmate?" she smiled a mischievous one as she said this. Sometimes Jae Kyung wonders how she could be such a genius.
"What are you getting at, unni?" Jan Di asked, getting quite curious with Jae Kyung's questions.
"Well, I think we should make a bet." She told them.
"A bet?" Ga Eul clarified. What in the world could Jae Kyung be thinking?
"Ga Eul should make Yi Jeong fall for her, to see if my theory about him changing is right." She was smiling hugely right now. Then she started laughing as both Ga Eul's and Jan Di's eyes grew wide with surprise.
"What?!" Ga Eul must've heard Jae Kyung wrong. Make Yi Jeong fall for her?
"Well, you said it would be impossible for him to change. I want to prove you wrong." She extended her hand to Ga Eul, urging her to shake it to make the bet official.
"No! That would be totally wrong. I don't even like him!"
"You don't have to like him, Ga Eul. C'mon, you can consider it payback for every girl he's hurt." Jae Kyung knew this was Ga Eul's spot. The thing she clearly hated the most about the potter was his playboy lifestyle, there was no way she's still going to refuse.
Ga Eul thought about Jae Kyung's words deeply. Payback? That would be good. Something like giving him a taste of his medicine, right? He deserves it, anyway. And it's not like he was actually going to fall for her. It'd be like a short relationship then she'd ditch him. He probably won't be upset but that would make a huge scar on his ego, which he needed more than anything. Ga Eul lifted her head up confidently to look Jae Kyung in the eye. She took the order girl's hand and shook it.
"I accept the bet, unni." She said.
"Wait, what does Ga Eul get if she wins?" Jan Di asked after watching their exchange.
"Good question, what's your condition, Ga Eul?" Jae Kyung asked her. She furrowed her eyebrows, trying to think of something.
"If I win, you two have to everything I say. No matter how much you're against it."
"What-" Jan Di started, only to get cut off.
"Deal." Jae Kyung agreed at once. She smiled at her victory.
"The bet starts tomorrow, Ga Eul." Ga Eul nodded and got out of the car as they arrived at the restaurant. The two followed.
"What if Yi Jeong sunbae really does fall for Ga Eul?" Jan Di asked her unni. Jae Kyung just smiled wistfully. Then they live happily ever after, she thought to herself.
AN : Please tell me what you think! ;)
