"Welcome to the……" Ga Eul looked up and saw Woo Bin. "Woo Bin sunbae,"

"Ga Eul, when do you get off work?"

Ga Eul stared at him with the four letters WHAT written across her face. Woo Bin couldn't help but laugh. "Oh….uh….in an hour."

"Okay. I'll just wait for you here. Can I have a pumpkin porridge?" He asked as he seated himself down in a corner.

"Oh, eh, yeah. Master, one pumpkin porridge."

Woo Bin ate his pumpkin porridge slowly. He had an hour, so what was the rush. It was pretty good porridge for such a small shop. He didn't think his chefs could make such a simple dish; he should test them out on this next time.

For the next hour, Ga Eul tried to stay focus on her job but she couldn't help but wonder why Woo Bin sunbae was in her porridge shop. And even if he was, why was he here? Why was he willing to wait? For any member of F4 they would have just dragged her out of the store, no doubt about that, but waiting was another side of Woo Bin which she has never seen before. Exactly at 6:59 she took off her apron and went out of the shop with Woo Bin sunbae. She didn't think that master would mind that she left a minute earlier than she was suppose to. Any business involving F4 was urgent business.

Woo Bin drove Ga Eul to the harbour. Ga Eul had been there once, it was a little far from the city so she didn't go there much.

"Ga Eul, we need to talk," said Woo Bin as he was leaning with his back on the railing and slowly crossed his arms across his chest.

Ga Eul stopped enjoying the waves of the harbour and turned her attention over to him. She waited patiently for him to speak first.

"Remember that day, when we were in the resort, and Yi Jeong told us that he broke up with Eun Jae and you started yelling at him before storming off," out of the corner of his eye he saw Ga Eul nodding her head. "Well, Yi Jeong didn't break up with Eun Jae. It was Eun Jae who had called the break up."

"Oh…" Ga Eul gazed at her shoes. She had mistaken Yi Jeong for something that he didn't do. "Woo Bin sunbae, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Ga Eul, I don't want you to mistaken Yi Jeong. Although he's got a bad reputation, he's really not a bad guy."

"Sunbae, what are you trying to say?"

"Yi Jeong is like a brother to me, I want him to be happy. And I know that you misjudging the situation has left him upset."

"Upset?" She glanced up at Woo Bin who was nodding his head. "I feel guilty."

"It's okay. There is a way you can make up for it."

"There is? What? I'll do anything."

"Do you see up there?" He asked her as he pointed to a mountain across the harbour. "That is Yi Jeong's favourite place to go. Go apologize to him there and I can assure you that he will forgive you."

She nodded at him. She couldn't thank Woo Bin enough. He had always been there for her, especially in times when she was stuck. Like her guardian angel, he'd help her back up every time she'd fall.

……

"Ga Eul?"

"Yeah, it's me."

"What are you calling for?"

"Um…..Yi Jeong sunbae, could you……you meet me at the top of the mountain?" She didn't know why she was so afraid. It wasn't like she was confessing her love to him or asking him out on a date. This was just a place that she needed to go to apologize to someone with high status. Yes, that was it. High status apology.

"W-w-what? The mountain?" What in the world is this girl planning to do there? A bumpkin would usually choose a place of comfort to be their meeting place.

"Yeah. The one across the harbour. Tomorrow."

"We'll see. I don't know if I have time for your childish games." He lied. He had all the time in the world because he was a part of F4. But he really didn't want to get into any kind of weird situation especially with a girl like Ga Eul.

"Sunbae…..if I don't see you, I won't leave. Good-bye, sunbae." She hung up immediately; she didn't want to let Yi Jeong know that she was blushing when she said that. And why on earth had she added the part where if she didn't see him, she wouldn't leave. 'Ga Eul, look at all the trouble you get yourself into.'

Wow. What a stubborn child. Now he really had to show his face. Should he let her wait awhile before showing her face? A thought of Ga Eul standing there shivering crossed his mind. 'No! Jan Di would give me a flying back kick.'

……

It had cost Ga Eul more than she expected taking the taxi up here, but walking over to the edge, she thought that every cent had been worth it. No wonder Yi Jeong likes this place so much, it is so beautiful. The sun shone bright into the water, and she could see the place where she and Woo Bin had been talking the night before. Everything was so small from up here, and it was so quiet that you could make out the whispers of the wind.

…..

Yi Jeong arrived at the mountaintop half an hour after the time that Ga Eul had told him to arrive. He was F4. He needed to look good before he left the house, yes, that would be his excuse for making her wait. Anyways, he didn't officially tell her that he would come, but making her wait awhile wouldn't hurt. If she wanted to see him so badly, she would have marched right into her house while he was busying…talking to his guests. He didn't see her anywhere. He was about to give up when he heard stepped on something hard. He looked down and picked up a pink headband. He studied it, and realized that it was the one that he had given Ga Eul. The day that Jan Di had told Jun Pyo that it was Ga Eul's birthday and make him embarrass himself because it wasn't. It was the first time that Yi Jeong had gone shopping for a girl. Where was Ga Eul? And how could she drop her headband? He pressed the number four on his speed dial. "Ga Eul, you city dweller, you come to the mountains and you're lost. Where are you?" He was losing his patience of course, what insane person would make F4 wait.

"Sorry Ga Eul is asleep at the moment, but if you want to come find her go up to the warehouse in the forest. Follow the trail and when it ends look behind the trees. You cant miss it. Come alone, or else."

"Or else what? How do I even know that you are with Ga Eul?"

A video of Ga Eul was shown. She was asleep in a chair but her arms and legs were in awkward positions.

Yi Jeong had no choice but follow the instructions. It was his fault that Ga Eul was in this situation, so it was his responsibility to get her out of it. Three men dressed in black were waiting by the doors of the warehouse when Yi Jeong spotted them. They had not charged at them but warned him that if he had tried any funny business that the girl would be in danger. He listened to them as they escorted them in. The warehouse was dark, if you tried hard enough, you could make out shadows of furniture and other miscellaneous tools. And the smell, aw, that awful smell. It reeked. It smelled life something had been left dying in here.

"Wake up!" A voice called to her as she tried to open her eyes. Someone was slapping her, "Stop it! Stop it!" she tried crying but no sound came out. She was finally conscious and found herself alone in a dark room; the only source of light was the one lamp hanging above her head.

The three men escort Yi Jeong to a flickering light. There he can see Ga Eul, there is tape across her mouth, and her arms and legs are tied onto a chair. He tries to run towards her but one of the men blocks Yi Jeong. "Ga Eul! Let her go!" He could see Ga Eul much better now that she was only three paces in front of him. Her eyes were filled with terror.

There was another voice. It wasn't one of the three men. "Ha-ha, So Yi Jeong, you're a brilliant potter but you're still dumb. Do you think I'm that stupid that I would just pass her over to you like that?"

"Who are you? What do you want?" Yi Jeong never thought that he'd be in this kind of trouble. The worst thing that has ever happened to him was being beaten up by some guys for taking their girl.

"Me? Do you not remember me So Yi Jeong, I'm the guy that was supposed to be chosen by the potter god, but then you stepped in and stole that away from me." "Do you remember me now? Huh?" A man in a dark blue suit emerged out of the shadows. He had dark piercing eyes but he didn't look that bad, but that was how Ga Eul saw him.

"Lee….Jun….Bong?"

"Ha, I'm surprised that you still remember. Now Yi Jeong, I've become a businessman because I could no longer pursue my interests in pottery. So I'll make you a deal. I'll give you two choices and you have to choose one. Not too bad right?"

Yi Jeong just glared at him. This man is up to no good. He watched as Jun Bong walked over to where Ga Eul was tied up.

"One. I kill the girl." He said it was he gently ran a knife over Ga Eul's throat. "Two. I break your hand." Right after he announced this, two men had forced Yi Jeong onto his knees, and third one had held down his arm onto the cold cement floor.

Yi Jeong could have taken down the guy holding down his hand and maybe even the two holding him down, but he couldn't risk Ga Eul in the process.

"Which one will it be Yi Jeong. Pick your poison."

Ga Eul was squirming in front of him.

"Ah the lady has something to say." Jun Bong didn't care about Ga Eul. She was nothing in all this, so he just ripped the tape off her lips.

Ga Eul held back the pain on her mouth. She had something more important to do then cry over the pain. "Yi Jeong sunbae, why did you come to save me? You didn't have to do this. I'm sorry that I accused you of playing Eun Jae unni." Tears were rolling down her face. She didn't want to die, but Yi Jeong's hand was more than her life. His hand was god. "And I cant let you choose. Kill me. Please. You can't take away his hands. Take me please." She had pleaded Jun Bong with her heart. She didn't want Yi Jeong to get hurt; she was willing to give up everything for him.

"Ha, this little girl knows how to do business. How about this Yi Jeong, I will tie you down and then you can watch me take away that innocence of your little girl." Jun Bong gave out an evil laugh.

"Don't you dare lay a finger on her," Yi Jeong's voice was strong and hard.

"So, have you made up your decision Yi Jeong? I don't think my boys would mind having some fun tonight. Although she's not that pretty anyways, stripping away her innocence is all they tend to care about."

"I said don't you dare lay a finger on her." He scowled.

"Then which one will it be?"

He shut his eyes; he just couldn't let them hurt Ga Eul in any way. He couldn't let them do it. And Jan Di would most definitely kill him. "I choose my hand."

"Yi Jeong, are you insane. What are you doing? No. stop. Please. Stop this. Somebody. Help." More tears came out. Someone was sacrificing themselves for her. This wasn't the happy ending that she wanted.

"Hold down his hand," Lee Jun Bong ordered. Yi Jeong felt a firm grip on his arm. He watched as Jun Bong pulled out a wooden chair and raised it above his head. 'This is it Yi Jeong. Kiss pottery good-bye.' He looked away. He didn't want to see his hand shatter.
