Boys over Flowers: My Heart is yours

Chapter 2:

Ga-Eul's Point Of View:

Yi Jeong sunbae is back. How do I feel about that?

Happy?

More like confuse.

I thought after four years pining for him, I'll eventually moved on. I did start to date again but they all ended up as failures. I keep comparing them to him.

It was a horrible habit of mines. I would find the smallest things to be the deal breaker. It was either their taste of food to the type of music they listen to.

But the main one was that they weren't him.

It has been less than a year when I finally stop thinking about him on a daily basic. We stopped emailing each other after a year he left. I didn't have the strength to wait for him to write something. I would wait in front of my laptop, waiting for his email. I couldn't help but think he had already forgotten about me. So I stopped.

I began to live my life without him. I worked for my teaching license. I got a job as a preschool teacher the following year. I would hang out with Jan Di every Friday night after she was done with school.

I made myself forget about him. I had move on. Right?

"Miss Ga-Eul?"

"Hmmm." I looked at the cheerily students in front of me. My fingers pressed against the keys of the piano.

"Miss Ga-Eul you been playing the same verse for ten minutes." I looked at them and realized that I black out for ten minutes.

"Oh…I'm sorry. Let me start again." I began to play again. The children began to sing along to the music.

While I played the piano, my thoughts drifted back to Yi Jeong. Was I over him?

I needed to get my mind off him.

"Ga-Eul, you got a phone call!"

"Oh…..excuse me everyone." I got up. I glanced over to the music teacher to replace me.

I walked over to the other room. The handset lay on top of the desk. I picked it up. "Hello."

"Ga-Eul." A familiar voice called.

"Jan Di, what's wrong?" I asked knowing that Jan Di don't called during school hours, especially when I'm teaching.

"Ga-Eul…..I PASSED! I PASSED THE EXAM! Fifth time the charm."

"Jan Di I'm so happy for you…we have to celebrate tonight…are you free?"

"Yes…I'm free at seven. I'll call Woo Bin sunbae and we can have the celebration at his restaurant. Ga-Eul I'm so happy. If sunbae (AN: meaning Ji Hoo) didn't help me study I don't think I would have passed."

"Jan Di you would have ace it without Ji Hoo sunbae helped." I replied. There was a belief silence. I didn't know if I should tell Jan Di that Yi Jeong is in Seoul. Jan Di didn't like how I was when Yi Jeong left. I was miserable and dreadful. She didn't like the fact it was her who introduced Yi Jeong to me. She likes Yi Jeong as a friend but when it came to me, she didn't want me to be like his other "girlfriends".

"Ga-Eul." She said seriously.

"Yes?"

"Ji Hoo sunbae told me that Yi Jeong sunbae is in Seoul. Ga-Eul? Did you hear me…..Yi Jeong-sunbae is back!"

"Jan Di, I know."

"What do you mean you know?"

"He came by to see me earlier. I was actually surprised that of all day he picks this day."

"Ga-Eul, what does that mean?"

"Nothing…forget it Jan Di. I didn't say anything. I'll call Woo Bin to make to a reservation….so you don't have to…"

"Ga-Eul is this about…"

"No it's not…Jan Di. It's not about that. I'm going to see Woo Bin today anyway so I'll tell him to make a reservation for us…everyone coming right Ji Hoo sunbae and Gu Joon Pyo and…Yi Jeong?"

"Ga-Eul…we don't have to celebrate tonight. We can do it any other night."

"No…we are doing it tonight, Jan Di. We are celebrating your passing tonight. I'm not going to be the one to spoil your fun. Jan Di….I'm fine, really so you don't have to worry. I'll see you tonight. Bye."

I hung up.

Woo Bin stood beside his yellow Porsche. He smiled when he saw me coming out.

"Hello sunshine." He greeted with a smile.

"Woo Bin, I thought you were picking me up at four."

"I wanted to see you, Yi Jeong is back and I wanted to…"

"I'm fine, you're the second person to ask me that."

"Jan Di called huh. Well then at means Ji Hoo told her. I told him not to tell her and he does it anyway, what the point?"

"You knew he was back?"

He looked at me. "I didn't know he was back until he called me this afternoon. He told me he stopped by here to see you." He looked at me with concern. "Ga-Eul…you are okay?" He placed his two hands on top of my shoulders.

He was worry. It was written all over his face. You're probably wondering how Woo Bin and I got close. Well it started last year. We were celebrating Ji Hoo's birthday at his house. Jan Di was off with Ji Hoo talking somewhere, and I was sitting alone in the living room. I stared at the beautiful vase that Yi Jeong sent over from Sweden. Woo Bin came back from a phone call, he sat beside me. We were never alone by ourselves before so there was silence, a lot of silence. For all the years I met Woo Bin, he's the F4's that was and still am the life of the party. I never gone to a party that the F4's hosted to be boring but as we sat there in silence. I wondered if he wanted to leave, he kept looking over at his phone, as if he was waiting for a phone call from someone.

So I broke the silence.

"Woo Bin, how is Yi Jeong?" I asked. I really did want to know. Woo Bin lifted his head at me. He looked at me, he was making me uncomfortable.

"Ga-Eul, do you really want to know?"

I nodded, not looking at him. "He's fine for now. He eagerly waiting to see if one of his contributions to the museum he is displaying works well for the owners."

That's good. I thought. He was working for his goal.

"Um…Woo Bin sunbae do Yi Jeong ever…talk about me to you?"

His eyes swayed to me. "Ga-Eul, Are you asking if he asked about you…?" I didn't answer. "He does sometime when he called." This got my attention. My eyes slowly drifted to Woo Bin's. He smirked as he caught me looking at him. "Yi Jeong would ask if you were okay and things like that. He's worry about you." He stated.

"What do you mean by that, sunbae?"

Woo Bin didn't respond right away. He stared at me, making the same look from earlier, the one I found uncomfortable.

He sighed. "Well…Ga-Eul if you really want to know you should start answering your email." He knows about that.

"Bu….But how do you know about that….did Yi Jeong told you?"

He got up from the couch. He drifted toward the window. It was so dark outside.

"Sunbae…."

"Ga-Eul!" Someone called out from behind us. I turned to see Jan Di and Ji Hoo walking toward us. "It's getting late so we should leave now." She said, looking at me cheerily.

I nodded, getting up from the couch. My eyes drifted to the vase in front. I glanced away before someone sees.

"Ji Hoo sunbae is going to take us home."

"Oh okay." I moved from the couch, my eyes slowly glanced to Woo Bin. He stood there in silence.

As I moved to the door, Jan Di behind me, someone spoke. I turned to the voice, Woo Bin spoke.

"Ji Hoo, Jan Di's house is the opposite from Ga-Eul. I'll take her home instead."

Ji Hoo and Jan Di looked at him. "Uh…I don't mind it…Ga-Eul." Jan Di's eyes swayed to my direction as Ji Hoo sunbae spoke.

"Uh…I don't want to intrude…."

"Great." Woo Bin clapped his hand together. "Ji Hoo is taking Jan Di home and I'll take Ga-Eul." He walked by to my side. "Let's go." He whispered softly.

I followed him out, his yellow Porsche blended with the dark sky. We waited until Ji Hoo's car drove out fist. I remember I saw Jan Di's expression, the look of discomfort.

"Come on…get inside. It's getting colder."

"Sunbae!" He drifted up from the car. "You don't have to drive me home. It's not that far to walk." I lied. He looked at me with doubt. "I'm really fine with walking." Who was I trying to convince him or me?

Why didn't I want me to drive me home? Maybe it was because Yi Jeong always drove me home.

"Ga-Eul, don't be like that. I'm okay to drive you home." He moved to me. "Please…it would ruin my reputation if someone sees me abandoning a beautiful woman alone in the street this late at night. Please." Woo Bin stared at me with a pleading look.

"Okay." I surrendered.

The awkward silence came again. The radio was playing Big Bang number 1 hit Last farewell. Woo Bin didn't took his eyes off the drove. As he reached my house, he glanced over to me.

"Ga-Eul…what would you do if the person you love is falling for another person? Would you fight for them or would you stand aside?"

"Sunbae, why are you asking me this?" Did Yi Jeong found someone? I shouldn't be surprised right, he is a Casanova.

"Hmm I can understand many things about women. I can understand how to make any woman be mines with just a simple touch but when it comes to that one person, I am defenseless."

I looked at him, "Sunbae."

"Sorry…I shouldn't have burdened you with a heavy thing. You were probably thinking that I was talking about Yi Jeong."

"Sunbae, who was she?"

"Eh?"

"The girl that you love…who is she?" I asked. He didn't respond. He kept his focus back on the road.

I thought the silence was beginning again but then a few seconds he spoke.

"Her name is Min-sun. She was a girl I knew from my childhood…"

As he told me his story, I didn't believe what I heard. The Don Juan of the F4's was in love. I don't think I ever considered that Woo Bin could fall in love. I thought he was just a playboy but now I understand him more. He was more human…he was more like me now. We both were in love with someone who couldn't return that feeling.

I think that how we got close as a year passed by. I don't recall having no moments that wasn't filled with Woo Bin in them.

We would casually run into each other. That led to hanging out with each other. We began to talk more with each other. We got more comfortable with each other.

"Woo Bin…come on." I said dragging him inside a grocery store.

"Ga-Eul…what I want to know is why we shopping at a grocery store?" He asked looking at me with curiosity. I grabbed a cart.

"I want to make Jan Di a congratulation cake." I pushed the cart to the baking aisle. Woo Bin followed.

"So this is what a commoner store look likes." He stated happily.

"Sunbae…you can't honestly tell me you never shop in a grocery store before."

"I shopped. This is just different from where I usually go to." He walked passed me. He made his way to the aisle. He began to look at the many baking mix. "Ga-Eul, are you making it from scratch?"

"Uh…I want to but I don't think I have time. It's already five, by the time we finish shopping and goes to my house. It will be seven already and I promise I meet Jan Di at that time."

"Don't worry…we can bake it in the kitchen of my restaurant." He grabbed a box of chocolate mix. He looked down at his watch. "My kitchen should have all the supply you need to bake your cake…and if we leave now we can make it there before 5:30." He grabbed my hand and we were gone.
