"The mall?" Jae Kyung raised her eyebrow as she stepped out of her car. Ga Eul walked beside her and looked at the mall she and Yi Jung usually go to.

"Yup… It's definitely this one…" Ga Eul flipped the scrapbook and showed Jae Kyung the pictures in the page. The pictures are Ga Eul and Yi Jung inside a photo booth. The first few pictures was showed an irritated Yi Jung. The next ones were pretty good. Yi Jung made poses the same as Ga Eul's poses. It took five whole pages of the scrapbook for those pictures.

3 My first time in a public photo booth

"So… Yi Jung's next note is in a photo booth?" Jae Kyung asked. Ga Eul slowly nodded her head. She wasn't actually sure if this is their third destination. The mall's an all too public place for some sort of note Yi Jung would leave. "Okay… Let's go then, Ga Eul." Jae Kyung grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the entrance of the mall.

It took them time to find the photo booth. It's a really big mall and not to mention there are a lot of people doing their shopping. Ga Eul can't actually remember the exact location of the photo booth. They went from corner to corner. Jae Kyung also spent her time window shopping so it was not a pretty good help from finding the photo booth quickly. That was not until Ga Eul lost her patience and dragged her from in front of Channel.

It was exactly three o' clock when they finally found the photo booth. Ga Eul immediately ran and went inside it. She searched inside if some envelope was taped inside but to her dismay, she found none. Jae Kyung and Ji Hoo, on the other hand, searched around the photo booth. Still, they found none. After a few more minutes of searching and hoping, they gave up.

"I thought this was the photo booth, Ga Eul? Maybe it's another one." Jae Kyung stated with her irritated voice.

"Nope. I'm positive it's this one. Look. The pictures' background is exactly the same as the one inside the photo booth." Ga Eul opposed.

"Turn to the next page after those pictures. Maybe the next destination is actually that one." Ji Hoo suggested. Ga Eul nodded and proceeded on flipping the pages. There, she saw a picture of an ugly looking thing and a picture of Yi Jung sleeping on a couch.

First time I ate street food. Augh. 3

"Oh!" Ga Eul exclaimed. "Damn. I forgot what else happened that day." She giggled and turned to Jae Kyung and Ji Hoo, both wearing confused faces. "I know exactly where to go."

Flashback :)

"Is this okay?" Ga Eul asked Yi Jung as she stepped out of the changing room. She walked in front of the mirror and checked herself out. Yi Jung took her shopping for their trip to Paris in December. At first, Ga Eul complained because it was too early and she had a lot to do. Moreover, she doesn't have enough savings for shopping clothes. Despite all Ga Eul's protests, Yi Jung still insisted and dragged her to the mall. He badly wants to spend time with her, after all.

Yi Jung walked behind her and embraced her from behind. Ga Eul jumped at his sudden action. It sends her body shiver at his sudden touch. She didn't have time to react as she blushed furiously in front of the mirror. Yi Jung leaned down and placed his chin on top of Ga Eul's shoulder. He winked at her in the mirror. If it was even possible, Ga Eul blushed some more.

"You will still look beautiful regardless of what you wear." Yi Jung spoke softly.

Ga Eul slowly loosened his arms around her as she saw the salesladies gathering around them. She turned around and looked at him. "Yi Jung-ah. Seriously… Do I look good in this dress?"

"I'm serious when I said that Ga Eul-yang… Wear all the dresses you want… I won't care…" Yi Jung said as he looked at her lovingly. Ga Eul blushed, unable to respond to his compliment. With that, he turned her around and tied the ribbon at the back of her dress. "There." He paused and stared at her face in the mirror.

"Yi Jung-ah?" Ga Eul turned around and waved her hand in front of him. Yi Jung immediately snapped back from his reverie and smiled at her.

"Let's go now, Ga Eul-yang? Oh, wait. I'll pay for all the dress you wore first. Then let's leave this shop and go wherever you want to go. It's still early afternoon."

"Yi Jung-ah! Don't buy all the clothes. Just some of it! I don't want you go spending money on me."

Yi Jung ignored her because he knows this would lead to another long argument with her. Instead, he turned to the salesladies and handed them his credit card. He instructed them to wrap all the dresses and send them to his studio.

"Yi Jung-ah!" Ga Eul exclaimed. She ran to the salesladies and stopped them from getting all the dresses. Yi Jung shook his head. 'Aish. Typical Ga Eul.' He walked to his girlfriend and grabbed her wrist. He quickly turned her around.

"Ga Eul-yang. Please please please. Just let me buy those dresses for you. I want it. It's not like I'm going to think that you're like other women who just wants money and things from their boyfriend. I know you're different, okay? Besides, I was the one who insisted on buying those for you."

"But—"

"Please." Yi Jung pouted. Ga Eul sighed in defeat. She knows she can't resist that face of his. It was too adorable. Yi Jung smiled at his victory.

:) :) :) :) :P

"Look Yi Jung-ah! A photo booth!" Ga Eul dragged her boyfriend to the photo booth. After they were done shopping, they spent their time walking around the mall. Ga Eul spotted a photo booth as they were passing by a restaurant. Being her vain self, she immediately grabbed Yi Jung and ran to the photo booth. "Let's go inside and take pictures!" Ga Eul inserted some bill and pulled Yi Jung inside the booth. Yi Jung sighed. This is another one of their picture sessions. It was normal when you're girlfriend is Ga Eul but still, he can't seem to adjust to that fact.

"Ga Eul-yang… Do we really have to? We can just go in a studio and have professional photographers to take pictures of us." Yi Jung whined. Apparently, he's not going to give up that easily.

"No!" Ga Eul pressed the button to start the machine. With that, camera sounds were heard continuously. Yi Jung stayed frowning all throughout the shots but Ga Eul didn't notice it. Ga Eul happily went out of the booth and Yi Jung followed along. She took the pictures that were printed just below the thing were you insert the bills.

Frowning, Ga Eul turned to Yi Jung and gave him a scowl. "You didn't smile." She huffed and turned around. She sighed and took a few steps forward. When she didn't hear any footsteps beside her, she turned her head to look at Yi Jung. She cocked her eyebrow at the sight before her. Yi Jung was inserting some bills at the photo booth. "What are you doing?" Ga Eul questioned with her confused voice.

"Kaja Ga Eul-yang." Yi Jung went inside the photo booth. Ga Eul, still confused, stayed there. 'What the—? I thought he doesn't want to?' She shrugged and slowly walked towards the photo booth.

She reluctantly went inside and saw Yi Jung smiling at her. She gazed into his eyes to know what's going on. Yi Jung just shrugged and patted the seat beside him. Ga Eul took the seat and waited for him to do something. Yi Jung's smile remained on his face. "Smile Ga Eul-ah." He said as he pressed the button.

Ga Eul's face quickly lit up and smiled as another continuous shots were heard. After that, she went outside to look at the pictures. She stared at it in awe. They were so cute. She turned her head to show Yi Jung the picture but Yi Jung was inserting another bill. He grabbed her hand and dragged her inside. This time, they made varieties of poses. They did it two more times with another variety of poses. It was amazing how the couple come up with the poses. It doesn't matter, though. It was cute, adorable and unique.

After the last set of pictures, Ga Eul turned to Yi Jung. "So… What made you change your mind?"

"The very same reason why I changed my mind about soulmates…" Yi Jung said in that rosy tone of his. And at that statement, Ga Eul blushed yet again. Even though he did this all the time, she was still not used to those romantic words.

Unable to say anything, Ga Eul told Yi Jung that they should head home now. Yi Jung agreed. The couple walked to the parking lot, hands intertwined.

The drive home was a quite cheery one for the couple. They talked about random stuffs and laughed at some jokes. Even though Yi Jung badly wants to snuggle with Ga Eul at that moment, Yi Jung tried hard to keep his eyes on the road but it was impossible though. He kept stealing glances at Ga Eul which made her scold him. "Yi Jung-ah. Keep your eyes on the road. We might get into an accident." Ga Eul warned him, her voice was firm but it was light. She didn't want to ruin their mood. Yi Jung agreed and focused on driving. With that, Ga Eul looked outside the car window.

The couple got stuck in traffic as they were nearing Ga Eul's neighborhood. Ga Eul was still looking outside the car window. She stared at the line of street vendors. She suddenly felt like eating some. "Yi Jung-ah… Can you pull over?"

"Huh? Why? What's up?" Yi Jung, obviously confused, looked at her.

"Please." Ga Eul looked into his eyes and pouted. That expression of hers was Yi Jung's weakness too and she perfectly knows that. Yi Jung sighed and parked the car beside the sidewalk. Whatever Ga Eul wants to do, he thinks it would be fun. Ga Eul didn't wait for Yi Jung to open the door for her. Once Yi Jung turned off the engine, she got out the car. Yi Jung stepped out of the car too and followed her.

Ga Eul stopped in front of a certain street vendor. "Can I have those please?" Ga Eul pointed to her favorite street food. Yi Jung, still clueless, went beside her to look at the street foods. 'Augh… Disgusting… She's not going to eat that, is she?'

Just when Yi Jung was about to ask her, Ga Eul turned around and offered him some of the street food he saw. "Here. Try one."

"No—" Yi Jung was cut off when Ga Eul shoved the food into his mouth.

"Chew." Ga Eul ordered. Yi Jung unwillingly obeyed as he didn't fail to show his disgusted face. "C'mon Yi Jung… It's good…"

Yi Jung slowly nodded his head and swallowed the food. "It's good." He forced himself to utter those words. In truth, it wasn't really good. He was just saying it so that she won't be upset.

Yi Jung watched as she chewed the food happily. She finished off the food and ordered another one. Ga Eul offered her a whole bunch of the food and he took it hesitantly. He stared at it and then turned to look at Ga Eul. She had her waiting eyes as she urged him to eat it. He gulped and forced the food into his mouth. He finished it after a few more minutes and clearly reminded himself to eat something sweet when he gets home. Ga Eul took his hands and walked back to the car.

It was clearly a happy day for Ga Eul. It was too for Yi Jung except for the street food part.

:) :) :) :) :P

The next day, Yi Jung can't find himself to get up from bed. He stayed lying on bed with his hands on his forehead. His head was throbbing like mad. He felt like he was going to vomit. He felt cold and hot at the same time. 'Is my aircon broken? Augh…' He closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep again but it was impossible. His head was really aching and he wasn't in the condition to sleep. 'What the hell is happening to me?'

He sat up from the bed and blinked his eyes. He got up and headed for the bathroom. He didn't know why but he felt like he was moving rather slow. He washed his face and felt the cool water in his skin. He very much appreciated it but his head ache became worse. Yi Jung took out his first aid kit and looked for some medicine. Luckily, he found it in the bottom of the bag. He popped out the tablet and headed out to the kitchen for some water.

He felt like collapsing while he was going down the stairs. His butler noticed it and went to his side. "Young master, are you alright?" He asked in concern.

"I'm fine." He waved his hand once and the butler released him. He continued walking down the stairs. Finally, he arrived at the kitchen after what seemed like years. He opened the fridge and poured him some glass of water. He drank the medicine slowly. 'Aish… What is this? Am I sick?'

He made his way to his room again. When he went inside, he can hear his phone ringing. He slowly took his phone from his coffee table. It was Ga Eul.

"Hello?" Yi Jung said, trying hard not to sound weak.

"Yi Jung-ah? Are you okay? You sound weak." Leave it to Ga Eul to easily read him.

"Uh… Yes… I'm fine. So what's up?" Again, he tried to sound normal though he knows Ga Eul wouldn't buy it.

"Uh… Okay… I just called to tell you that I'll be out with Jan Di today. You told me yesterday that you would be dropping by." Ga Eul sounded hesitant.

"Uh… Okay… Have fun with Jan Di."

"Yi Jung-ah. Are you really okay?" Ga Eul's worried voice was more pronounced this time.

"I really am…" Surprisingly, Yi Jung sounded normal as he said that statement.

"Okay then. Bye."

"Bye. Love you."

"Love you too." After that, they hung up. Ga Eul then dialed Jan Di's number. She cancelled their girl's day out and told her she needs to attend to Yi Jung because he was sick. Being her best friend, Jan Di understood and told her to tell Yi Jung to get well soon.

Obviously worried, she got dressed in a minute and went outside. She desperately hailed a cab and told the driver Yi Jung's address. She tapped her hands impatiently the whole ride to Yi Jung's house. Then, she thought of something and told the driver to pull over a porridge shop near Yi Jung's house. She paid the driver and got out. She rushed inside the porridge shop to buy some pumpkin porridge. Well, she needs some weapons when she's going to take care of a stubborn Casanova… ex-Casanova in his case.

Ga Eul made a run for Yi Jung's house and opened the door. She doesn't need to ring the doorbell because all of Yi Jung's employees know who she is. She bowed down to his butler and asked where he is. The butler told her that Yi Jung was in his entertainment room. 'That brat. What is he doing there? He should be in bed.'

She ran along the hall until she reached the entertainment room. The TV was on but she doesn't see any sign of Yi Jung. She took a few steps forward and looked around the room. 'Where is he?'

She continued looking around until he noticed figure lying on the couch. It was Yi Jung, sleeping soundly. He was sweating like mad but he was clutching the sheet on top of him for warmth. He really is sick. Ga Eul put down the porridge on top of his coffee table. She reached for his forehead and felt the warmth of his skin. He was burning up. She widened her eyes and panicked. She never imagined Yi Jung getting sick.

With her touch, Yi Jung stirred and slowly opened his eyes. He couldn't quite make out who was in front of him at first. He blinked a few times and smiled as he saw Ga Eul's worried face looking at her. "What are you doing here, Ga Eul-yang? I thought you're going out with Jan Di."

"I knew you were lying and immediately cancelled our meeting." Ga Eul knelt on the floor for a better look at him. "You should have said you're sick."

"I didn't want you to know I'm that weak. It would ruin my manly image." Yi Jung reasoned out.

Ga Eul gave out a soft chuckle and kissed his forehead. "You arrogant brat." She teased him and smiled. Yi Jung chuckled and tried to sit up while Ga Eul assists him. "I brought some porridge with me. Your favorite." She smiled at him and went over the coffee table to fix the porridge for him. She sat down beside him, holding the bowl of porridge in her hands. She took a spoonful and carefully blew it. "Aaaaaah!" Yi Jung chuckled. He was enjoying this. He opened his mouth to receive the porridge.

"Thank you." Yi Jung said and scooted to Ga Eul's side. He leaned his head on her shoulder as he closed his eyes.

"I'm sorry I made you eat street food." Ga Eul frowned when she realized what caused his sickness.

"It was my fault I didn't tell you I don't like it Ga Eul-yang. Don't feel bad."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I don't ever want you upset."

"You're doing it again." Ga Eul said as she blushed. Yi Jung can still make her blush even if he's sick. Yi Jung laughed when he got what she meant.

(: End of Flashback

"Pull over there unnie." Ga Eul politely asked Jae Kyung. Jae Kyung parked her car smoothly beside the sidewalk. They both got out of the car. Ga Eul immediately rushed to a certain street vendor. Ji Hoo also parked his car just behind Jae Kyung's. He got out and leaned on it. Jae Kyung went over to him and did the same. She leaned over to his car. They looked at Ga Eul as she was asking the street vendor something.

"Excuse me… Did someone leave an envelope here?" Ga Eul said kindly. The street vendor smiled at her and nodded.

"You must be Mrs. So… I can imagine how that fine young man picked a gorgeous girl like you." The street vendor complimented while handing over an envelope.

"Thank you." Ga Eul blushed as she took the envelope from her. She bowed down and thanked her again. She quickly opened the awaited envelope and unfolded the paper inside.

Ga Eul-yang.

That day, I truly felt like a child being taken care of by his mom. I missed that kind of feeling especially when our family crisis came. I took this spot instead of the mall because this was the main reason why I got sick. And this is also the reason why you came to my house and took care of me. It was the same time I realized that you, Chu Ga Eul, would always be beside me even at the worst situations and I sincerely thank you for that.

I love you.

Yi Jung-ah

Ga Eul smiled and felt the tears threatening to flow from her eyes but she kept control of it. She looked up with her brightest smile. "I got the letter! Let's go to the next!" Ga Eul shouted at the two. She became more and more excited on what's in the end of this adventure.

She just have to wait…
