She imagined letters. Lots of them. Everyday, if possible. She imagined roses and birthday calls and surprises. Ok so maybe, letters everyday sounded romantic and all but they were not his style, so she forgave that. The roses were forgivable as well since you give roses to people you love and as far as she can remember, he never really said that. So again, forgiven. The surprises were forgiven as well since, again, they weren't Yi Jeong. But the birthday call? The stupid birthday call? (Or birthday e-mail, whatever) was just too much. What, he was so busy in Sweden that he couldn't even pick up his phone and dial her number once a year? Yeah, right. She doesn't tell this to anybody because, well, what right, really, did she have in demanding these sorts of things? She wasn't his girlfriend. The single thing that happened between them that can be remotely called as 'commitment' was his promise before he left, which led her to expect such things from him, that she would be the first person he looks for, if she hasn't found her soulmate yet. Four years ago, she found that romantic and epic, but now? She doesn't even know if he means it that way! It could mean anything right? It could mean that he just wanted to see her, that's all. Maybe? Or may be he just didn't mean it.. She'll probably just get a phone call from Jan Di or Woo Bin sunbae that Yi Jeong has arrived and they were having lunch and that she should follow. She told herself these things everyday for the past three years. The first year was spent wishing, expect and getting disappointed. But she was Chu Ga Eul, she believed in love and soulmates and destiny, so even if she told everyone that she's moved on, she still checks her e-mail almost everyday, she still double checks her mailbox, thinking she missed something, she still gets excited everytime the F2 or Jan Di mentions the word 'surprise' but it usually just turns out to be something from Jun Pyo sunbae or something Jan Di cooked up for her and the two sunbaes, and she still stays up until the last minute of her birthday, clutching her cellphone to her chest and silently praying that it'll vibrate. It never did. She will shamelessly admit that she has been waiting for these things up until today, the day he was set to return. Originally, she didn't want to know the exact date. She didn't want to expect anymore. But Woo Bin sunbae called her as soon as he got the news.

"Hello?" She said a little too harshly. It was just right after her class, the children started playing with clay, of course she was grumpy! Having to be reminded of him and his stupid promise was enough to ruin her day these days.

"Well, I'm glad to hear from you too, Ga Eul-yang." It was Woo Bin sunbae. She immediately felt guilty about answering that way. The remaing F2 had been nothing but nice to her these past four years. Always offering to fly her to Sweden or to fly there themselves and kick Yi Jeong's ass (as friends, of course) for not calling her at all.

"Sorry, Woo Bin sunbae. I just had a bad day. What is it?" she said, a little more politely.

"Bad day? Do we need to to-" he started, but Ga Eul cut him immediately off.

"Don't be so dramatic Nothing happened. " she said, playfully teasing him.

"Oh, okay. Anyway, the reason I called was to tell you good news."

"Good news?" she asked curiouosly.

"Yi Jeong's coming back. The day after tomorrow."

So here she was. On her way to work and trying to have a nice day. She just saw Jun Pyo sunbae's interview and that put a smile on her face, knowing that Jan Di and him would be reunited soon. See, how could she not believe in soulmates when her best friend is living proof that it exists?

She was bitter. Yeah, that was the word. Bitter about his silence, his coldness and bitter about the fact that while she was in her bedroom, crying her eyes out about him, he was probably with some Swedish girl (or more) and having the time of his life (Okay, she doesn't know that for sure but, still. He is a Casanova). It was a good thing her students always brightened up her day, it's been two days since they started to play around with clay and she was feeling slightly less bitter about that everytime she saw their smiling faces.

"You're still putting too much pressure on your hands." An all too familiar voice said, she looked up, it couldn't be…

"Yi Jeong sunbae!"
