I Gotta Say:

Heyy! I'm the author of this story, lol, obviously! This is my very first SoEul fanfic. I haven't written fanfiction since I was in 5th grade, which was like around 5 years ago, but I hope I do this right. :) Well, to start off, I LOVE Boys Over Flowers! I'm not even gonna tell you how much I'm addicted to it, cuz it's just crazy. I've been waiting for Yi Jung and Ga Eul to officially go out and be a couple in the whole series since the day they met! So for the whole 25 episodes, I've been wishing they'd get together...but yeah...let's just say I was disappointed when they didn't really get together.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this story! :D

"The most beautiful things on Earth cannot be seen or even be heard; but must be felt with the heart." (Helen Keller)

First

"Ga Eul…" Yi Jung whispered as he looked at the one girl that made him stutter the whole night. It was a soft whisper that wasn't meant to be heard by anyone; but she was the only one who did. To her, a simple utterance from him echoed to her heart. She didn't know the reason for that, but was glad to know that she had a special connection to him.

She turned back and looked at him; her expression full of sorrow. Even her beauty couldn't make Yi Jung feel better for the way he treated her the night before. Scenes from last night kept rushing back to him.

-- Flashback—

"Sunbae!" a cheery Ga Eul greeted as she entered his workshop. The once dark room suddenly had an outburst of light as she walked to him. She was his source of light that made him see things better, but she was also a blur that he wanted to make clearer.

He took a break from his pottery when she sat down across him. A smile formed on his face as he looked at her and said, "You came."

"Well, of course I did! Do you think I'd miss out on a free once-in-a-lifetime class with the well-known potter, So Yi Jung?"

He chuckled after hearing that.

"Is that your new project?" she asked and nodded toward the clay vase on his potter's wheel.

"That? No… I was just doing that for fun. I'm almost done with it though. Would you like to help me finish it?" he looked at her and felt his heart fly when she nodded.

Yi Jung got out an extra apron and helped her put it on. Ga Eul blushed at his gesture. She couldn't help falling for him even more. Just seeing him makes her heart send signals to the butterflies in her stomach.

She sat across him again as he started spinning the potter's wheel. Without thinking, Yi Jung took Ga Eul's hands and put them on the clay vase. He felt the electricity from her hands to his as he helped her shape the vase. Their hearts pounded wildly like they were never going to stop. Both their faces turned red and suddenly, all thoughts in their heads disappeared. The potter's wheel stopped. Yi Jung's hands were still on Ga Eul's. They looked at each other in silence.

"Sunbae…" Ga Eul started. "Sunbae, I can't take this anymore!" she stood up and freed her hands from his.

"I really like you! No matter how much effort I put in avoiding you, it never works! You keep appearing in my life. I know you don't believe in soul mates, but look at what happened. I fell for you; someone who is the total opposite of me. Soul mates are people who are alike, people that share the same interests and have a mutual understanding that bind them together. I used to believe that I'd only fall for my exact soul mate; someone just like me. But you…" her eyes started tearing up. "You proved me wrong. I fell for you. If avoiding you is impossible, then not having you in my life is impossible too. You're like my magnet. You're my total opposite, but I'm always completely attracted and drawn to you."

Yi Jung stared at her in bewilderment. She stood still in front of him with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"He was her magnet" he thought to himself as he stood up and walked towards her.

He wiped his hands on a towel, removing all the remaining clay. He stopped when he was only inches apart from her. Slowly, he lifted up his two hands and wiped away her tears with his thumbs. Tears continued coming down from her eyes. All the pain he went through his whole life couldn't sum up to this. Seeing Ga Eul cry hurt him more than anything else. And what made it worse was that she was crying because of him.

Yi Jung leaned his forehead on hers and closed his eyes.

"Please don't cry…" he choked. Tears were soon running down his face as he said, "It hurts me the most to see you cry."

The door slammed open, which shocked Ga Eul and Yi Jung.

"Oh! Son! I see you're-" Yi Jung's dad was cut off by his young girlfriend.

"Is this your son? My, he looks familiar! Have we gone out before?" the lady asked Yi Jung while gulping down a bottle of vodka.

Yi Jung quickly took Ga Eul's hand in his and grabbed her coat and purse. When he reached the door he glared at his father and his girlfriend-for-the-night.

"I want you out of my house!!! You better not be here when I get back!" he screamed at his father, who didn't seem to take his son's command seriously.

Ga Eul sat down on the passenger's seat while Yi Jung went to the driver's seat. He looked apologetically at her.

"I'm sorry, Ga Eul," she looked at him as he spoke. "I can't be with you. Everything in my life is so complicated! I can't drag you along in it, I just can't! I don't need any more trouble in my life." he looked at his steering wheel and heard Ga Eul crying a lot more.

"Ga Eul… find your soul mate. Even you realized we weren't meant to be, and people should be together with their real soul mate till the end, right?" he got out a familiar paper bag under his seat.

"Here," he handed it to her. Ga Eul's eyes widened when she took it from him and realized what it was. Her tears were out of control now. "I don't think I can hold on to those chocolates anymore. My keeping them just got you away from finding your true soul mate. You should have them back and give them to the guy who's right for you… someone who's your soul mate… not…" this part pained him the most.

"… not your magnet."

-- End of Flashback –

"I just want to protect you…" he thought to himself while he still stared at Ga Eul.

"I'm complicated, just like my tied up family. I can't tangle you with any of my problems. You're the only untangled lace in me."
