Okay, I'm slower than usual at posting up my stories. Sorry for those of you who have been waiting patiently for the next chapter to be released. I've got like at least two textbooks to bring home each day because my school is doing a day one, day two schedule. But anyways, here it is.


The boys had pestered Jan Di for so long to have her bring this so-called heiress to them so that they could have a glance at her. Jan Di couldn't say no, especially when Yi Jeong and Woo Bin had turned on their playboy faces, who could say no. Jan Di had asked Ga Eul the next day in Communications class if she wanted to hang out with her, since Ga Eul wanted to make new friends without people judging her by her social status, she had agreed. Jan Di had told Ga Eul to meet her at a nearby coffee shop for Saturday evening.


"Ga Eul unni!" Jan Di shouted as she ran towards her.

"Jan Di," Ga Eul said happily. She was extremely happy for this day because Jan Di was the first real friend she would have.

Jan Di clung onto Ga Eul's arm as she lead her down the street. "Come on Ga Eul, we've got somewhere to go tonight."


Jan Di told Ga Eul to wait by the corner until she signalled her to come in. Jan Di pushed open the door and announced, "Everyone, as promised, I brought you all someone you wanted to meet, she is my unni and the mall heiress," Jan Di went out the door again and grabbed Ga Eul inside, "Ga Eul unni."

Yi Jeong, Woo Bin and Ji Hoo had turned their heads and was now staring at the door when they heard Jan Di say the name of her unni. It was the girl that they were all thinking about. They were all shocked in the inside, but they didn't know how well they hide it on the outside.

"Ga Eul," Jan Di lead Ga Eul around the room to where each of the guys were. "This here by the pool table is Woo Bin."

Ga Eul extended her hand as she gave a slight bow to him. Woo Bin greeted her the same way he would have greeted his clients, just friendly with a smile, but he tried to avoid looking at her eyes the best he could and Ga Eul did the same.

"On the other side of the pool table is Yi Jeong."

Yi Jeong looked up from his game and gave her his charming smile. He didn't bother walking all the way around the table just to shake her hands, but he couldn't help but think the way her hand would feel in his. Strong yet delicate, this was one temptation he was resisting himself from. Ga Eul responded him back with a smile of her own.

"The person on the couch here, strumming the guitar is Ji Hoo."

Ji Hoo greeted her with a smile and a warm hug. The other guys were pretending not to pay attention but they really were, and they were all shocked by the way Ji Hoo greeted this girl because it was not like him to do so especially when bodies got close. Ga Eul of course hugged him back. She felt the love through his hug and she tried to send it right back to him.

"Yah, you idiot come here."

"Who are you calling an idiot?"

"Who else? We have a guest here and you don't even come over and say hi."

"Well, you brought her to all of them so you don't bring her over to me?"

"Yeah, so? Those guys aren't as selfish and as occupied as you are. Don't make me come over there and shut down the game."

"Urgh….you're hurting my ears."

Jun Pyo dragged himself over to the couch where Ji Hoo and Jan Di were now seated. Ga Eul instantly shot up when she saw him walking over, no way was she going to mess with this guy.

"My name is Ga Eul."

"Yeah, I know, I am Jun Pyo, that idiot's boyfriend." Jun Pyo extended his hand and shook Ga Eul's hand forcefully.

It didn't take long until things were back to the way it was minutes before Ga Eul walked in. Ga Eul saw a staircase leading up so she decided to explore that. She wasn't anyone's company anyways, so might as well look around.


The view was amazing as Ga Eul stood there in the middle of the roof top looking up at the stars. The moon shined at her as if it was saying hello. She was busy giggling to herself that she didn't hear footsteps coming behind her.

"So," said the voice.

Ga Eul gave a little jump. She was frightened by the voice as it ruined her thoughts; turning her head to the left, she saw Woo Bin.

"You're the mall heiress."

Ga Eul's secret was now out. She didn't care if Woo Bin or any one of the other boys knew, somehow, her gut was telling her to trust them. "Yes I am, but I hope you can help me keep it a secret."

Woo Bin couldn't understand why Ga Eul was hiding such a thing. "Why?"

"Haha. Sunbae, I want to live a normal life because being rich isn't everything. It can't get me friends, and it certainly can't get me competitors like you." Ga Eul waited for a few seconds, waiting for him to respond to her and when he didn't, she finally broke the silence, "I'm going down now, it's getting cold up here. Do you want to come down?"

"No, it's okay, you go down. I don't want to be responsible for making an heiress sick"

Ga Eul turned her back and started walking towards the door. Her warm hand grabbed the cool doorknob. She pulled open the door and before she took a step forward, she looked back at Woo Bin whose back was now towards her. "Woo Bin sunbae," she cried. "Congratgulations on winning the race, but in the end, the winner might also turn out to be the loser after all."


As Ga Eul entered back into the lounge, all she saw was Yi Jeong sitting on the couch. He had his phone in his hand and it her seem to be texting of some sort. "Where is everybody?"

Yi Jeong looked up from his phone and stuffed it back into his pockets when he realized that Ga Eul was talking to him. "Well, Jan Di and Jun Pyo are spending time together by making something in the kitchen, Ji Hoo is downstairs in the basement, Woo Bin is upstairs which you probably saw and well, I am here trying to get the fact that you're an heiress across my head."

Ga Eul laughed. "Then that's a good thing for me."

"A good thing? Why is that?"

Ga Eul took a seat on an armchair directly across from Yi Jeong. She decided that she should give him space, so she chose the armchair instead of sharing his couch. "I don't want to look like I'm rich. People would only want to get near me because they'd want to be apart of the mall because they want to be able to fit in with the best of the best. Life is not always about that."

Yi Jeong wasn't going to have her talk about what being rich was about. He knew this already. "Then how did you learn pottery?"

"Oh, my grandfather is Ha Mong Ryang."

"What? One of the four legendary potters?"

"Yeah. I used to love watching him create things so when I got older, I learnt for him."

"You're one fascinating girl Ga Eul."

"Am I really? Because, to me, I feel like a rich girl whose trying to be a poor girl and somehow, I've learnt to live a different lifestyle than my family. I want to do things by myself, you're rich too right? That's why you go to Shinhwa High, but you'll never understand."

Yi Jeong didn't get the opportunity to answer her because Jan Di was coming out of the kitchen and now screaming.

"Cookies are ready."

Woo Bin came down from the rooftop when he heard Jan Di's scream.

"I'm going to get Ji Hoo."

Ga Eul instantly stood up, "No, I can get Ji Hoo sunbae."


The basement was not as creepy as it looks in the movies, this one was clean and well polished. Ji Hoo sunbae is sitting on a red glossy couch and was strumming at his guitar. "Wow, sunbae, you play the piano AND the guitar."

Ji Hoo looked up from his guitar and laughed. "What is more wow is that you're an heiress and you didn't tell me."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I didn't know you that well back then, so it was hard to trust a stranger."

"Then do you trust me know?"

Ga Eul answered him with a nod.

"Anyways, why are you down here?"

"Oh right, I almost forgot, Jan Di and Jun Pyo made cookies." Ga Eul heard a sigh coming from Ji Hoo. "Sunbae, why are you sighing?"

"Nothing."

"There's something bothering you sunbae."

Ji Hoo forced a laugh. "Ga Eul, you see right through me don't you?"

"No I don't, you're just acting a little different than usual."

"Ga Eul, there are a lot of things you don't understand."

Ga Eul was going to force this out of him no matter what. She wasn't willing to give up without putting up a fight. "Well, if you don't tell me, of course I won't understand."

"Ga Eul, I…..," Ji Hoo didn't know if he should tell her or not but as he looked up into her eyes, they were just so beautiful, they…..somehow seemed to care. "I…..I like Jan Di."

She only nodded and listened. If Ji Hoo sunbae wanted to continue, he'd tell her at his own pace, she didn't want to interrupt.

"I can't be with her because she is with Jun Pyo right now, but I had set my eyes on her long before Jun Pyo did. I just…..I just didn't have the nerve to tell her how I felt, and even after I confessed my love for her, her heart still belonged to Jun Pyo. I'm so stupid. I'm so stupid." There, he said it, what he was hiding from her all along. The only time he could get away from reality was in that room with her, but now, she had seen that he was vulnerable.

Ga Eul had never seen Ji Hoo like this, in fact she didn't see him anywhere outside of the auditorium, but to see him break down in front of her, to see that there was a part of him that was weak made her want to run to him and hold him tight but she couldn't do it. She just took a seat next to him and patted him gently on his shoulder. "Sunbae, you're not stupid, at least you tried in the end, even though you didn't succeed. Maybe this was the way things were suppose to be. If she loved you back, she would have waited for you instead of dating Jun Pyo sunbae. Sunbae, I don't know much about love, but I do know this. If you try to force a foot into a shoe that is too small, it wouldn't fit. No matter how hard you try, no matter how much you like that shoe. You just weren't meant to have it. And even if you somehow end up having it, those shoes won't be the ones that you'll walk with anyways. But somewhere out there, there is going to be a pair of shoes that fits perfectly on your feet. Just wait for it. Wait for the pair that catches your eyes, wait for the pair that you would risk anything to get, wait for that pair of shoes. Because that was the one meant for you, not this one now, the one that has already been worn."
