Ga Eul flung her hand over her eyes and kicked at her sheets upon seeing the time on her bedside clock, it's fifteen minutes before 6 in the morning. She swiftly jumped out of bed and went to her bathroom to freshen up before meeting Yi Jeong at the old tractor in the middle of their rice field. She took one last glimpse on her full body length mirror and smiled in approval before rushing down the stairs.

The door opened before she got to the steps, "Where are you going?" it was Jae Kyung.

"Oh..I'll just.. you know, take a morning walk" Ga Eul answered hastily, avoiding Jae kyung's curious eyes.

"Since when did you start having morning walks? You're off to see that sunbae of yours, right?"

"What? No! Stop those piercing malicious stares Jae, we're just friends and he's all yours okay? I just miss fresh air… I'll be back before breakfast"

"So you're really off to see him then!" Jae Kyung exclaimed crossing her arms and leaning against the door.

"No! what made you say that? I'll go alone. Please stop those nonsense and don't ever say I'm over reacting" Ga Eul answered guiltily as she continued walking out of the door past her smiling cousin, still avoiding her stare.

"If that's the case, can I come along?" Jae Kyung said innocently, trying to continue catching the fish by its mouth, Ga Eul turned around abruptly.

"Huh? No..no..I want to meditate" she stammered while turning to head out again.

Jae Kyung's left eyebrow raised, "Oh really huh? Oookkaaayyy" she said exaggeratedly while rolling her eyes.

"Bye! Just tell them I'll be back before breakfast" Ga Eul shouted as she jogged her way towards the field, relieved that Jae Kyung stopped bugging her.

"As if I don't know you're lying sneaky Ga Eul" Jae Kyung muttered silently as she watched her cousin disappear in the field. "I saw your sunbae headed that way too…" she said shaking her head before proceeding to the kitchen.

Ga Eul walked the rest of the way as fast as she could and wondered where Yi Jeong was since he's not waiting for her at the tractor. She chewed her lower lip as she sat at the tractor and looked around, wondering if Yi Jeong stood her up when a deep voice startled her.

"What's up Miss Chu?" it was him, Ga Eul smiled and turned around. She almost gasped loudly upon seeing the stunning guy in front of her, he was wearing a white button up shirt and loose-fitting cotton pants. The color emphasized his dark eyes and black raven hair that moves gracefully against the soft wind, making him look like a demigod.

"Looking good sunbae… you don't look too uptight in those clothes" she said smiling, trying to hide her nervousness. "Behave Ga Eul" she scolded herself at the back of her mind.

"You haven't seen anything yet" Yi Jeong answered playfully as he got into the tractor, sitting beside Ga Eul. "This isn't my style but I pulled it off nicely, right?" he said flashing her a big smile, showing his perfect white teeth.

Ga Eul watched him, still staggered. His scent was such a distraction that she tried not to look at him any more than courtesy absolutely demanded.

"Yeah..you can pull off anything" she said making a face, shaking her head afterwards as if trying to make the enchantment go away. Yi Jeong's eyebrows knit together.

"So, what's the important subject?" he asked, his face suddenly grave. "You made me wake up at 5 in the morning, I hope we're not here for a little chit chat because that would be - "

"No! It's because there is a problem…" she said cutting him off and sounding worried.

"What happened?"

Ga Eul fidgeted and exhaled before talking.

"Nobody knows about my boyfriend Soo Pyo and now Il Woo is coming! "

"Soo Pyo, your boyfriend. Who is this Il Woo then?" Yi Jeong asked, apparently confused.

"Jung Il Woo. He's my childhood friend but I haven't seen him for a long time. I found out last night that grandpa and the rest of the family had fixed our engagement already and he's coming tomorrow to see me together with his family!" Ga Eul explained with hesitation behind her face and a hard edge evident on her voice.

"Wait. Hold on…your family won't take your opinion into consideration? They'll just marry you off even if it's against your will?" Yi Jeong asked with wide eyes, his smile faded as shock crossed his face. Ga Eul looked down, took a deep breath then held her gaze up again.

"Actually, there is a twist in the story here" she said. Yi Jeong just stared blankly, waiting for her to continue.

"My family and the Jung's are close friends. Our great ancestors has been acquainted with them ever since. Il Woo and I have been together since childhood and everyone would say that they would get us married when we grow up. I used to love the idea of me and Il Woo getting married someday" Ga Eul explained, her cheeks starting to heat up because of embarrassment while Yi Jeong listened intently, a small smile starting to form at the corner of his lips.

"When we play house and family, I won't let Jae Kyung be his wife. It must be me all the time! Then when we were 8, we would stand together holding hands here in this tractor and look at the field. We would imagine building our own house and our own family"

"And then?" Yi Jeong asked amused, trying to stop his laughter. Ga Eul frowned and slapped his arm then continued her tale.

"And then I grew up and realized that this Jung Il Woo episode is over! For me it's a joke… but last night I found out that my parents have not grown up of this stupid plan! They're all serious about this sunbae…I'm in absolute trouble! I need your help"

Ga Eul sighed, impatiently tapping her left foot while Yi Jeong pondered the details silently. He looked at her closely, she was wearing a cute floral dress with her curly hair pulled back into a ponytail. She looked so cute and eager, it was kind of hard to say no.

"So what's your plan?" he asked.

"I will escape and run away!" she answered full of determination.

"Yah! Running away is not the best solution lady. Don't even think about it"

"But I don't have a choice here!"

"Just think before doing anything… There are many choices…"

"Like what?" her eyes darted towards him, desperately seeking help.

"Like…telling them about your boyfriend Soo Pyo?" he said raising his eyebrows suggestively.

"No. They won't agree with that. Soo Pyo didn't come from a good family so it would be hard for them to accept him easily and cancel my engagement to Il Woo"

"That's it! If you can't explain it to your family, then just forget Soo Pyo" Yi Jeong said casually.

Ga Eul's eyes grew big, "No! That's a bad option…I can't do that!" she exclaimed.

"Then don't marry anyone"

"Next option"

Yi Jeong thought for a while, "Get Il Woo and Jae Kyung married" he snapped.

"Next!" Ga Eul said frowning.

"Why don't you just prove in the court that Il Woo is impotent?"

"What? He's not impotent sunbae… next!"

"Hey! Hey! Hold on! How did you know Il Woo is not impotent?" Yi Jeong asked nudging her, she just rolled her eyes.

"Hey! Tell me, how did you know?" he nudged her again, a mischievous smile crossing his face.

"You can tell! He's way too young to be impotent" she answered awkwardly, stifling a laugh.

"You can tell? Did you-"

"Next!" she abruptly cut him off.

"Did he tell you that?"

"Next!" Ga Eul said loudly while fiddling with the buttons on her dress. Yi Jeong laughed, aware of the girl beside him turning red, which made him want to tease her even more.

"Did you see him with somebody?"

"Next!"

"Yah! Tell me… I won't tell anyone" Yi Jeong continued teasing her.

"Next!"

"I know you know why…" he said wiggling his eyebrows.

"Stop it sunbae! Next!" she said pinching his arms unable to control laughing before covering her ears with her hands. Soon they were both laughing at their silly conversation, oblivious of the eyes watching them from afar. The person smiled knowingly and headed back home, letting the two continue with their banters.
