"Yah! Do you think I want to go anywhere with either of you? Do I have any saying in this, I didn't even get a proper explanation!" Ga Eul yelled which only brought annoyance to Yi Jung.
"This girl... Can you just trust us once and do what we say?" Yi Jung rubbed his temple trying to calm his nerves, but it wasn't quite working.
"Trust you? That is the last thing I would ever do, while I am still alive."
The nerve of this girl, Yi Jung thought to himself. She was so stubborn, and it only annoyed him more, but thanks to Woo Bin who placed his hand on Yi Jung`s shoulder asking him to calm down, Yi Jung did not end up making a scene. He takes a deep breath in and then out, and looks in Ga Eul`s direction and speaks with a deep voice. "You are going with us to New Caledonia, Jan Di will be coming too. Knowing how stubborn you are, don't try to think of running away because I have the gates locked, and they wont open until you buy stuff. Now you have two hours, to get everything you need or... we could do it for you if you want..." Yi Jung returned to a soft charming voice as he spoke his last words and flashed a charming smile to Ga Eul.
'Who in their right mind would want a guy like him to pick out their clothes? He would probably only pick bikini top and bottoms, and no way was she going to let him.' Ga Eul is transformed into deep thoughts as she thinks about what to do. Yi Jung then snaps his fingers in front her face, pulling her out of her thoughts. As soon as Ga Eul looks his way, he taps his watch; she gets his signals and begins to walk.
"Wait, did you inform her parents?" Before they begin to walk, Woo Bin halts as a thought flashed in his head.
"Oh, yeah I forgot. I will-"
"Don't worry about it... They won't care anyways..." Before Yi Jung could ask for the number, Ga Eul cut him off, and began to walk towards the shops in the mall, leaving Yi Jung and Woo Bin curious.
Ga Eul had no idea of where she would go, for her a small shop or grocery store was enough to get her confused of where to head and this was just impossible. This was the first time she was in a mall, she imagined entering a mall with Jan Di and goofing off and shopping all day till their heals ached. But here she was with two strangers, and being limited to time.
As she looks around she glances at a shop, which from its clean reflection display windows, clothes were visible, mostly for women. She enters with nervousness, what if she liked too much? What if she didn't like anything? What if things didn't fit right and looked weird? What if... What if... Ga Eul was alone with the thoughts jumbling up. The other two men she was with departed from her and entered a shop with mainly men wears. Inhaling sharply, Ga Eul looks around. To her luck she liked everything she saw, everything she looked at made a mark inside her. This was something she wouldn't want to forget, she was given a chance to come to a place full of wonders and all the beautiful material that she drooled over, everything was perfect. Ga Eul forgetting to take notice of the price as she thinks she is dreaming, she takes anything she found to be complementing her well and tossed it into her cart that she pushed along with her. Her arm began to ache from pushing a full cart, she decides to rest and looks over what she was going to buy: extra shirts, tights, and few skirts. Three pairs of sandals were found, as she looked in her cart, followed by: black sunglasses, green sunglasses, and dim yellow sunglasses. She was surprised to how easily everything could be found in one place.
She decides that it was enough, she begins to push the cart with all her might, and then suddenly she finds something that captures her eyes. A pink shirt: ruffled shoulders that were to encircle the arms and was to be held by straps that tied behind the neck. The shirt came with black shorts. Ga Eul knew New Caledonia was a warm, but also sometimes hot and she decided to get what she held in her hand. She places the shirt and short that were attached on a hanger, on top of her and observed herself in the mirror. Before she could compliment herself, a voice beat her too it.
"That pair looks great on you!" Ga Eul looks up to only find the reflection of Woo Bin behind her in the mirror. She could feel her cheeks heat up, but she manages to hide her face. She turns around and observes the figure that stood in front of her carefully: pink shirt, light tannish pant (where the ends were folded), pink handkerchief around his neck and white shoes. She tilts her head, and continues to glare at Woo Bin`s clothes. Woo Bin for the first time saw an unsatisfied look on a girl, towards him.
"Is something wrong?"
"I will be honest with you, pink really doesn't suit you much..." Her words, as if a dagger was thrown towards his chest, but instead of giving in, Woo Bin defends himself.
"But many of my girls find it lovely on me." Clearing his throat and adjusting his handkerchief just right, with confidence those words left his mouth.
Ga Eul smirked to his responds as she puts her arms crossed on her chest and shakes her head in disapproval of a valid reply. "They probably like that color that is why they never said anything besides, who would dare say something against you, right?" Her words made much sense to him, he observes his reflection in the mirror they where both in front of, and he looked more into what she said, and he realized she was right. Keeping his cool, not trying to admit his error, he shifts his vision from the mirror to Ga Eul, "so you dare to go against me? Aren`t you scared of what could happen?" Woo Bin spoke with a cold voice, trying to make sure she was in her limits. His words had no effect on her. She smiles as she places her new item in the cart, "I am not scared of anyone."
"Really? I-"
"Excuse me... Mr. So Yi Jung, is waiting for you outside, miss..." before Woo Bin could finish his sentence, a male figure who was supposedly the manager as it said on his nametag, had interrupted him.
Woo Bin is the first to head out, and Ga Eul pushed the cart to the cashier.
Yi Jung stood near the front desk of the same shop, flirting with two sales women and the cashier herself. Woo Bin approaches Yi Jung, which only makes Yi Jung curious.
"How come you were here?" Yi Jung instantly asked. Woo Bin couldn't find the right words to correctly explain why, luckily at that moment Ga Eul appeared with a heavy cart, Yi Jung`s eyes shift her way, while Woo Bin takes a deep breath, relived that he didn't have to explain anything.
"Wow you actually bought a lot" For a girl, who was refusing to go into the mall, now was pushing a cart full of clothes to the cashier. Ga Eul ignored his words and began putting her items on the counter one by one. Yi Jung waited while continuing to flirt with the two sales women. Woo Bin also occupied himself with the other sales women who were standing outside of the shop, drooling over the two handsome men. Ga Eul smirked to how stupid the women were acting. Ga Eul keeps her focus on the price that was adding up. As it comes to her last item, the cahier tells her that her total is 250,000. Ga Eul`s eyes wide opened, did she really buy that much? She begins to tell the cashier that she no longer wanted anything. Then Yi Jung who still stood near the cashier counter spoke out, "stop talking nonsense, we have to go. Just put everything she bought on the tab. Also can you put her things in a suitcase and have someone bring it outside." Yi Jung then flashes the cashier a smile and she instantly does as he had told her as if under his trance.
Yi Jung begins to head out with each woman by his side. Annoyed Ga Eul begins to follow behind. Watching them leave the shop Woo Bin catches up to them with only one woman with him. Ga Eul begins to think how lucky Jan Di was, she had found a guy who only loved her, and he was handsome and rich. Ga Eul looked up in front of her and thought, there was no way she could imagine that with Yi Jung, and looking behind her, chances with Woo Bin were a bottomless pit. Sighing deeply, Ga Eul tries to convince herself that her Soulmate would find her soon. She doesn't care if he is rich or cute, all she wants is him to be loyal to her and love her.
Lost in thought, she had not noticed the step she had skipped. Loosing her balance she was waiting to be hit by the floor. She closed her eyes, as the outcome would bring her severe pain. Quickly Woo Bin had grabbed her arm and pulled her up, still hazy from the trip, Ga Eul had become week and as she was pulled, she hit her face on Woo Bin`s chest. Her heartbeat fastened, the fall that was going to cause her pain, scared her. Then coming back to reality she opened her eyes, only to find her head resting on Woo Bin`s chest, her eyes widened with shock.
Yi Jung turned around, as footsteps behind him were silent. Turning around Yi Jung finds Ga Eul lying her head on Woo Bin`s chest and Woo Bin giving her support as he held her, by placing his arm around her shoulder.
A/N:
Here is another update! I hope you like it. :)
Also I do not want any confusions, so I am letting you guys know that Yi Jung had looked at Woo Bin and Ga Eul, soon as Woo Bin caught her and she was hazy from the almost fall. Just wanted to let you guys know. :)
Preview of next chapter:
The way they held their hands. The way their eyes met. The way they chased each other on the cold sand in the middle of the night. Watching them be this way burned him inside. He was sure he had no feeling for that commoner, and his best friend touched and played around with many girls, then why was this different? Why was he feeling this way as he watched them.
"I will never fall for another girl like you again. Never will I make that mistake again..."
