-Chapter Three:_Memories_-

The flashback of Ga Eul kissing another man disturbed him to no end. He awoke with a startle and the girl beside him stirred. After a few moments, she had woken up and leaned against him.

"Good morning oppa." She said seductively.

"You, get out." He pushed her away and got out of bed.

"Eh?" she said in shock.

"You heard me, you better be gone by the time I am out of the shower." He said before he went into the bathroom. He allowed warm water to soak into his skin and awake him from the flashback that kept playing in his head like a broken record, the thoughts of Ga Eul being with another continued to bother him. Who was that man who was with her? Was he another one of those jerks...someone like himself? If it was, he would hunt down that person even if it took all of his money and power to. Another thought came to him. Why was he like this right now? Wasn't it over between him and Ga Eul? It was supposed to be over the day he left on her on the side of the road and told her to leave. He could still remember that painful day when he betrayed her trust and her kindness.

"So where are we going this time?" She said happily as the wind caressed her face. He stopped the car on the side of the road and opened the car door for her.

"Eh?" She said, confused by his actions.

"Get out."

"You're joking, right?" She said quietly.

"No, I'm serious. I'm tired of you."

"Tired of me? I- I don't understand."

"Ga Eul, I'm a player. I thought you knew that. I'm sick of you so please just get out of my sight." Yi Jung turned away and couldn't bear to see the tears on her face. He drove away and whispered quietly. "I'm sorry Ga Eul. I'm so sorry."

Yi Jung punched the limestone walls as his hand bled. He was one huge jerk. He got out of the shower and bandaged his wound. His mind continued to think about her no matter how much he tried to distract himself, it was still her. Why? His heart was still hurting for her, still pining for her. He resist the urge to call up Ga Eul, but his gut kept interrogating him with countless what if's.

What if Ga Eul was not okay?

What if she got raped?

What if that man drugged her?

What if that man sold her?

What if, what if, what if she ends up loving that man?

His hands began to reach for his cell phone instinctively and before he was able to hang up, there was another voice on the line already.

"What do you want?" The other person said.

"H-hi, I just wanted to see how you were doing."

"That's none of your concern." He could feel the coldness of her voice as she mentioned those words. She was right though, he didn't have anything to do with her anymore so why bother calling?

"I saw you at the club and you left with a guy..."

"So?" She challenged him.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. You know what? Why do I even have to answer to you. The next time you call, it better not be something as trivial as this. I'm hanging up." The dial tone was gone and Yi Jung hung up the phone. He threw his cell phone against the wall and fell back on the bed.

"Who was it?" Ga In ask after seeing her slam the phone on the table.

"A bastard." Ga Eul said and smiled to the two. "Let's eat."

Jo Kwon looked at Ga In who just signaled him to eat or else something bad would happen. Ga Eul sipped her green tea and tried to calm her pounding heart. She was sure her blood pressure had risen a lot within the three minute conversation she had. How dare he ever thought about calling her after what he did to her?

"So Jo Kwon-ssi, what kind of job do you have?" Ga Eul asked.

"Oh, I'm training to be a singer." He smiled.

"Oh really? Unnie is too." Ga Eul said in surprise. "Did you two know each other before?"

"Nope." Ga In said in surprise at the coincidence. "Which company do you work at?"

"JYP Entertainment, what about you?" He asked.

"NegaNetwork."

"Ah, well I hope you treat me well." He smiled.

"Same here." She bowed politely and blushed.

Ga Eul saw the interaction and couldn't help but smile. They seemed to suit each other and maybe he was the person who could stop Unnie from going clubbing too much. Strange...why did it seem to remind her of her and Yi Jung?

"So Ga Eul-ssi, are you going out with anyone right now?" Jo Kwon asked.

"Why are you asking that?" Ga In questioned lace with jealousy.

"No." Ga Eul laughed awkwardly. "Why?"

"Do you want me to introduce someone from my company?" He asked happily and stuck out his tongue at Ga In as Ga In smiled.

"No, it's okay." Ga Eul smiled and finished her breakfast.

"Are you sure you don't want us to drive you back?" Ga In asked.

"No thanks, I was going to take the bus home and walk off all the weight I must have gained eating breakfast." Ga Eul smiled.

"Okay, well it was nice meeting you." Jo Kwon bowed and as did Ga Eul.

"Be careful okay? If anything happens, call me."

"Don't worry and I promise that I will." Ga Eul waved off as the red convertible drove off. She got on a bus and decided to go the convenience store to buy some more milk for her house. She heading into the convenience store and came out with the milk when suddenly someone ran into her.

"Ouch!" She groaned and he paused to help her up. His sunglasses were sliding off the tip of his nose and his face was covered in sweat as if he had exercised for a very long time.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"I'm fi-"

"KYAA! There he is!" A mob of girls shouted.

"Hey-" Ga Eul shouted when he grabbed her and together they started running away from a huge mob of high school girls...and guys.

"Yo Yi Jung." A male wearing a black suit hugged his best friend. "Where were you yesterday?"

"What are you talking about?" Yi Jung questioned.

"See, I told you he would forget, you owe me two thousand dollars." A girl in a white dress with a big hat peeked through the door.

"You-" Yi Jung said.

"Long time no see So Yi Jung." She smiled cheerfully.
