DISCLAIMER: I do not own BOF- its original plot, characters, etc. I'm just a mere fan who loves the SoEul couple. :D


*a/n: I forgot to mention some things in the first chapter. Sorry.

1. This is an Alternate Universe. It has no connection with the original BOF storyline so JD and JP didn't suffer the things from the drama. There are some things I preserved though. YJ is still a potter and the heir to his clan. GE is still a commoner.

2. The F4, JD and GE don't have the kind of bond they have in the drama. I won't explain further for I could mention spoilers if I do so. Just read on the next hapters to find out what I mean. haha. :D

3. This is a multi- chap fic. I still don't know how many chapters, though.

So that's the explanations. For questions, don't hesitate to PM me or include it in your reviews. Thanks. :D Btw, thanks to those who read the first chapter. I left a cliffhanger. The guy will reveal himself in this chap. I hope you won't get disappointed. xD Reviews are very much appreciated, btw. They help me get inspired. Thanks thanks. :DDD

Another one, for those waiting for an update of Do You Believe in Destiny, I don't have time to write it since I think I need to reread the whole story and you know that it's pretty long. I also need to watch the drama again. With the school stuff I have, I think I would only hae time to do those stuff by summer. Sorry for making you guys wait but I promise that I'll finish it whatever happenss. Okay?

This is the last, I'm saying, again, that I am more active in Lovers Unparalleled. I use the same pen name there, bluefairy17. :))) haha.

ENJOY READING! :D


Chapter 2: Hard- to- get Interview

Ga Eul turned around to face the owner of the voice. At first, she thought it was already So Yi Jung but when she turned to face the owner of the voice, it was a different person.

Ga Eul stood up from her seat and bowed don to show respect to the man standing in front of her. "How may I help you?" Ga Eul asked.

The man also responded with a bow and smile. Afterwards, he extended his hand. "I'm Choi Han Joo, Mr. So Yi Jung's personal assistant." He motioned Ga Eul to sit down again as he walked over and occupied the seat across her. When both are settled, Han Joo spoke again. "I'm here in place of my boss. An emergency came up a while ago that's why he won't be able to face you tonight."

"How could you be in place of your boss? He's supposed to answer questions." Ga Eul said.

"Can't you just give me a questionnaire? I'll hand it over to him tomorrow. Once he's finished, I'll bring it to you." Han Joo replied.

Ga Eul smirked at that. "I think that would be completely impossible, Mr. Choi. I want to talk to Mr. So Yi Jung face- to- face. Sorry, but I find it quite hard to write an article based on an answered questionnaire. If he can't meet outside his office, I'll just go to the Woo Sung museum myself."

"Miss?" Han Joo asked.

"Oh sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. Chu Ga Eul, from Art Today."

"Ms. Chu, my boss is very busy nowadays since he has an upcoming exhibit. Emergencies would pop out from nowhere. He needs to attend to a lot of things. Having a personal interview with him this week and the next would be completely impossible. The only way you could finish that article of yours is through my suggestion. I assure you, he'll be able to do that."

Utterly beaten, Ga Eul agreed to give a questionnaire for So Yi Jung to answer. It's a good thing that she brought a copy of her questions printed in a piece of bond paper. Before handing it to Yi Jung's personal assistant, Ga Eul made him promise first. "Are you sure Mr. So Yi Jung would have this?"

"I am." Han Joo said with a smile.

Ga Eul handed the paper over to him. "When should I be expecting to see his answers?"

"Tomorrow evening." Han Joo replied confidently. He got something from the inside of his coat and handed it over to Ga Eul. "Here's my calling card. If you need anything, just call me. I'll be willing to take care of things for my boss." With that, Han Joo stood up from his seat and bowed down before leaving Ga Eul.

C,")

"Who's the girl?" Yi Jung asked inside his car when Han Joo went in.

"She said her name's Chu Ga Eul." Han Joo replied. "Here's the questionnaire." Han Joo handed the piece of paper over to Yi Jung and then continued, "She looks really far from the Eun Jae you are describing, sir."

"Alright." Yi Jung answered as he looked at the piece of paper Han Joo handed him. He scanned the questions written. The first few questions were about his pottery but later on, he faced a set of questions that Yi Jung hates the most- questions about his personal life. He crumpled the paper and threw it outside. "Ask her for a new set of questions." Yi Jung said after he threw the paper. "And tell her I don't want questions about my personal life."

C,")

"What?!" Ga Eul exclaimed at the phone. "Why? I only placed two questions about that!"

"Sorry. My boss hates being asked with those questions. Please make a new set of questions, Ms. Chu. You can e- mail it to me at the e- mail address I have on my calling card." Han Joo replied from the other line.

"Alright. Alright." Ga Eul answered, utterly beaten at that. She needs him- So Yi Jung, so whatever it is that he demands, she should give it to him. Else, she might not pass that article on time. "I'll e- mail it to you after an hour." As she put down her phone, Ga Eul sighed.

"Hey Ga Eul." One of her officemates called her. "Eun Jae wants to see you in her office."

Ga Eul stood up from her chair and arranged the pile of paper in front of her. As she was making her way to her boss' office, Ga Eul received questions from her co- workers, "How's your meeting with So Yi Jung?", "Is he that handsome in person?", "Did you have a picture with him?" Ga Eul sighed once more as she was asked by those questions. 'Damn. If they only know that Yi Jung didn't come to our meeting and how demanding that man is.' Ga Eul pushed open the door to Eun Jae's office.

"Good morning." Ga Eul greeted Eun Jae and bowed down to the woman sitting beside a huge oak table.

"Good morning too, Ga Eul." Eun Jae smiled at her. "Why do you have that face? It's so early in the morning and you look like you just came from a funeral."

Ga Eul smiled at her boss. "I'm just too stressed. Why did you call me by the way?"

"Oh. How's your interview with Yi Jung yesterday night?" Eun Jae asked, sounding as if she's really interested on how the meeting went.

Ga Eul sighed once more. Okay. It was so early in the morning and she has already sighed like this. "He didn't show up." Ga Eul replied. She received a nod from Eun Jae which somehow tells that her editor- in- chief knows that Yi Jung won't show up. "He had his personal assistant come by, though. He asked for a questionnaire and I gave him one. I was supposed to get it this evening but his Han Joo, his personal assistant, just called me saying that his boss didn't like the set of questions I wrote. He says that Mr. So doesn't want any personal questions. I'm about to revise my questions when you asked for me here."

"Oh. Sorry about that." Eun Jae answered as she put her hand over her lips, as if she's thinking. "I think we need to delete the part of his personal life in his interview."

"Is it okay? Isn't it the one that people, most especially girls, look forward to?"

"It is." Eun Jae answered firmly. "But we are not a gossip magazine, Ga Eul- ah. We're an art magazine so there's really no need for his personal life. He's our cover for the month, anyways. People will still buy the magazine, though, I'm very sure they'd be disappointed if they don't see any question about his personal life."

"Okay then."

"You can go now, Ga Eul- ah. Sorry for disturbing you. Good luck on your article." Eun Jae smiled at her. "You can do it!" Eun Jae put up the famous 'fighting' gesture. Ga Eul did the same and then left her office.

As Ga Eul left her office, Eun Jae was again back to thinking. "He hasn't changed one bit." She told herself. "Yi Jung- ah, don't make it too hard for her." Eun Jae told Yi Jung as if he was right in front of her.

C,")

Ga Eul sighed as she scanned the new set of questions she'll be sending. "This one must pass his standards." She said to herself as she attached the file to the e- mail.

Mr. Choi Han Joo

These are the new questions I prepared for your boss to answer. If there's any problem, you know where to contact me.

I hope to see his answers by tonight.

Chu Ga Eul, writer Art Today

She clicked a few more using her mouse and then the screen flashed, "E- mail sent."

"I just need to wait for his answers." She smiled to herself. Ga Eul started to organize the pile of papers on her desk. She was smiling like crazy for all she needs to do for today is wait. That's when a lot of people, girls and a few gay co- workers went to her desk.

"Hey Ga Eul, how did your interview with him yesterday went?" one girl asked.

"What's he wearing? Is he that gorgeous face- to- face?" another one asked.

Ga Eul turned to look at her co- workers. She gave them a smile and said, "He didn't show up yesterday." Her co- workers raised an eyebrow at that.

"I don't believe you." one said.

"If he didn't really show up, then why are you smiling?" another one asked.

"It's because I don't have anything to do today except to wait for his answers. I just e- mailed the questionnaire." Ga Eul replied.

"You know his e- mail? May I have it?"

"Me too! Me too!"

"I didn't send it to him. I sent it to his personal assistant. Now, may all of you go away from my desk? I need to clean. And the hell, I don't care a damn about how he gorgeous he looks like in person. I just need to get over with the interview and I'm done with him. Don't go bugging me again to ask questions about him, araso?" Ga Eul said firmly. Really, her co- workers are driving her mad because of their repeated questions about this Mr. So Yi Jung. Her co- workers raised another eyebrow and then left her in her desk.

"Now, why are you being like that, Ga Eul- ssi?" a voice asked her. Ga Eul turned to look at the owner of the voice and there, she found the office crush talking to her. Well, the other girls have a crush on this guy but Ga Eul doesn't. He's simply another co- worker for her but it seems that he's not feeling the same way towards her.

"Sun Pyo - oppa." She called his name. "What are you doing here?"

"Just want to greet you a good morning but it seems to me that you don't have one." Sun Pyo replied, flashing a smile to her.

"I'm just stressed out." Ga Eul replied and then turned her back at him again to continue organizing the pile of paper in front of her.

"You're always cold towards me, Ga Eul- ssi. To every guy, actually."

"So what?"

"You're not going to have any suitor with that."

"I don't care. Now, if you may go Sun Pyo- oppa. I need to clean my desk."

"Okay then." Sun Pyo smiled once more. "By the way, you're beautiful today."

Ga Eul listened to his footsteps as he walked away from her desk. Ga Eul smiled to herself as his words repeated inside her mind, You're not going to have any suitor with that. "If you guys only know." She said to herself loudly.
