I do not own Playful Kiss.
I must also give credit to the Indian serial "Dill Mill Gayye" as that is where I got the idea from.
Chapter One
"Oh Ha Ni! We are going to be late. Hurry up!" yelled Geum Hee.
Since the moment Ha Ni had stepped into the Baek residence, Geum Hee had eagerly filled the role of Ha Ni's mother, best friend, and older sister. While Ha Ni was grateful for what she had, she could not help but wish that Geum Hee had filled another role in her life- the position of being her mother-in-law. Geum Hee was everything a mother-in-law should be. She was caring, sweet, gentle, accepting, and most of all loving. She loved Ha Ni as if she were her own daughter. Ha Ni, whose mother had passed away at her birth, always desired a mother such as Geum Hee and she reciprocated the motherly love Geum Hee showed her. However, those were not the only reasons for which Geum Hee was perfect for the role of Ha Ni's mother-in-law. The biggest reason was that Geum Hee had also given birth to Baek Seung Jo. Baek Seung Jo was brilliant-he got perfect marks in all of his exams. He was also heartbreakingly handsome-he had gorgeous chocolate locks, the most beautiful brown eyes that one could get lost in. Baek Seung Jo was athletic- he was an amazing tennis player and an incredibly fast runner. And most of all, Oh Ha Ni was irrevocably in love with him. Ha Ni had loved Baek Seung Jo for four years, since the moment she had first laid eyes on him during his speech in freshman year.
However, there was something, or rather someone, stopping Oh Ha Ni from achieving her dream of Baek Seung Jo. Baek Seung Jo did not love Oh Ha Ni. He explicitly stated such when he responded to the love letter she had given him. Baek Seung Jo had insulted her and harshly rejected her. His words "I do not like stupid girls" wounded her the most. With those six words, Baek Seung Jo had effectively stabbed a knife through Ha Ni's heart and broken it. Since then, Ha Ni promised herself that she would forget him and bestow her love upon another. Baek Seung Jo missed his chance and she was not going to dwell over it much longer. Baek Seung Jo was rude to Ha Ni, he insulted her in front of the entire school and treated her as if she were filth.
"I will not let him treat me like that anymore" Ha Ni promised herself, "Baek Seung Jo, I am not the pabo. You are. You missed your chance and I'm going to forget you."
Sighing, Oh Ha Ni, grabbed her bags and descended the stairs. Oh Ha Ni, her best friends, her father, Baek Seung Jo and his family were all going on a three day camping trip.
As soon as Ha Ni arrived at the living room, she noticed that Baek Seung Jo was the sole person in the room and he was glaring at her. Growing tired of his constant mood swings and the underserved rudeness she received from him, Ha Ni decided it was time to have dignity and stand up for herself. Glaring back at him, Ha Ni growled, "I don't want to know what it is you think I did this time but I don't care. You can glare at me all you want, Baek Seung Jo. It will not hurt me. You are rude, arrogant, and honestly, I don't know what I even liked about you in the first place."
To say that Baek Seung Jo was shocked would be an understatement. He was appalled. Oh Ha Ni, the pabo never stands up to him. One glance and she succumbs to his wishes. Did she not prove that during the relay race two weeks ago?
-FLASHBACK-
Baek Seung Jo gave Joon Gu a bored look. Joon Gu was an even bigger pabo than that Oh Ha Ni. Did he honestly think that he was going to beat THE BAEK SEUNG JO? And even if he did, that would not prove anything. Just because one is a fast runner, does not mean anything. Unless one is fit enough to be a professional athlete, one cannot get anywhere without intelligence, which Baek Seung Jo was sure Bong Joon Gu lacked. "Why else would the guy be in class F?" Baek Seung Jo reasoned.
Nevertheless, Baek Seung Jo was becoming increasingly irritated by Bong Joon Gu's unnecessary chatter and ridiculous threats. "This idiot does not need me to make a fool out of him, he does it himself," sighed Baek Seung Jo. The fact that Oh Ha Ni had hugged Bong Joon Gu not longer than a half an hour ago did not help things. Baek Seung Jo was irked by that display of affection. He did not understand why, but since he had pinched Ha Ni's cheeks, Baek Seung Jo found himself thinking about her soft cheeks, her lively and cheerful eyes, her outgoing personality, her luscious dark brown hair and-, "Bah! What am I thinking? This is Oh Ha Ni-the pabo," exclaimed Baek Seung Jo to himself as he battled with his inner self. For a reason unknown to him, Baek Seung Jo had surged with fury upon seeing Oh Ha Ni hug Bong Joon Gu tightly around the waste."How dare she? She claims to love me and then she goes on and hugs another guy? Does she not have any self respect?" Baek Seung Jo had seethed.
Unknown to him, Geum Hee was sitting near her son, smiling gleefully at his obvious jealousy. Chuckling to herself, Geum Hee whispered, "Perhaps my darling son does fancy Oh Ha Ni," as she continued snapping perfect pictures of her son and future daughter-in-law.
Baek Seung Jo turned his gaze to the two runners who were approaching him and Bong Joon Gu. Oh Ha Ni, running with speed and agility was in the lead and approaching Bong Joon Gu at a rapid rate. Calculating that there was only a second or two before Bong Joon Gu would begin running, Baek Seung Jo began to devise a plan. He needed to beat Bong Joon Gu. That impeccable idiot would flaunt it in his face if he won and Oh Ha Ni might hug Bong Joon Gu again. As it is, Bong Joon Gu was becoming unbearable as he bragged about Oh Ha Ni going to him. Baek Seung Jo did not know why, but this bothered him. Ha Ni did not need to associate herself with the fool that Bong Joon Gu was simply because he, Baek Seung Jo had rejected her. "The least I could do is keep her from the further ridicule that is sure to come with Bong Joon Gu since I had rejected her, "reasoned Baek Seung Jo, "yes that makes perfect sense." However, what to do? He only had perhaps a second left to act, and then suddenly a stroke of genius hit him as a metaphoric light bulb lit up in his head. "Ahhh! I got it!" Baek Seung Jo turned his entire attention to Oh Ha Ni and mustered everything he had to smile at her in the most charming way possible. Surprisingly, the task was not as difficult as he thought it would be. Just thinking about her childish outlook towards life, her bubbly personality was enough to make him smile.
Oh Ha Ni was determined to win. She was going to beat Baek Seung Jo even if it was the last thing she did. He was going to prove to him that she could stand her own and that she did not need him. She could see Bong Joon Gu up ahead waving wildly at her and cheering her on. She could distinctly hear the voices of her classmates roaring, chanting her name, and encouraging her.
"I will not let them down," thought Ha Ni, "in your face, Baek Seung Jo!"
Focusing solely on getting to Bong Joon Gu, Oh Ha Ni quickened her pace and pushed herself as far as she could to give him the baton. "Twenty steps left…," she counted, "…ten…seven…"
Wait but what was that? Baek Seung Jo had suddenly turned towards Ha Ni was giving her a stunning smile. She did not even think it was humanely possible for a person to look that charming. "Oh he's so gorgeous, and that perfect white teeth. Wait, whose he smiling at? I don't think there's anyone behind me…he's smiling at me? No, he can't be. He would never smile at me? But, he is…? Ah! He's smiling at me! Baek Seung Jo is looking at me and he's smiling at me! Perhaps he does love me?"
Suddenly, Baek Seung Jo extended his hand as he continued smiling at her in the most innocent and adorable manor. "What? Why is he stretching his hand out? What does he want?" Then it suddenly hit her, "ohhhh the baton! He wants the baton!" Clearly confused and blinded by Seung Jo's charm, Ha Ni passed Bong Joon Gu ran to Seung Jo and extended the baton to him. However, what confused Ha Ni the most was that Seung Jo did not take the baton. Rather, he smirked and whispered, one word, "pabo." "What? Pabo? What's going on?" Ha Ni wondered. She saw Bong Joon Gu say, "it's okay Oh Ha N,i" grab the baton and run. Then, Ha Ni's situation suddenly hit her as if it were a cart full of bricks hitting her full blast in the face. "I was supposed to give the baton to Joon Gu not Seung Jo! Ah! If Joon Gu loses than it's all my fault!" Ha Ni cried with woe.
Meanwhile, Baek Seung Jo was racing close to the finish line. In his peripheral vision he could se Joon Gu steadily catching up to him. Racing faster, Seung Jo willed his legs to the finish line. Just the thought of looking back smugly at Joon Gu's face made Seung Jo move faster. Joon Gu was a step or two behind him now, rushing forward Seung Jo extended his arm, a second faster than Joon Gu's, winning the race and all because foolish Ha Ni could not stand his mere smile. The thought of that made Seung Jo feel good, his emotions danced with happiness, causing an exuberant smile to appear on his face.
-END FLASHBACK-
"Has she become immune to my charm? She can't have gotten over me, can she?" Seung Jo unconsciously worried. "Nahh, she's Ha Ni. Of course she didn't. That fool is head over heels in love with me. She can't have gotten over me that quickly, she's probably just having a bad day," thought Seung Jo, completely unaware that he was about to experience a side of Ha Ni which the world had never seen before.
