Chapter 7


~Ga Eul's POV~

It has been a three weeks since Yi Jeong and I broke up. I still think about him from time to time but then as Jan Di said, each time I thought about his smile, his laughter…they began to last only for a few minutes or seconds now. Before they lasted for hours and hours until tears couldn't come out anymore.

I needed to move on now. I wanted to live my life again. I pushed all my friends, especially him. I hated myself for pushing him away when he was only trying to comfort me but every word that comes out of his mouth was just so sweet that I began to question everything.

I was beginning to feel something I never felt before, a feeling that I shouldn't be feeling.

I sighed as I ran my index finger around the mug. I was waiting for Jan Di outside a local café. As usual I got there to early. I was excited when Jan Di called me out. I was dying for a reason to leave the house. I was finished with work, since it was winter break now so I wasn't needed. I basically mope throughout my whole break. Jan Di was too busy with medical school and her internship at ShinWa hospital that she didn't have any time anymore.

My other friends were busied hanging out with their boyfriends that I didn't want to be a third wheel.

Who else was there to call?

Woo Bin…I haven't seen him since I pushed him away two week ago. It wasn't my proudest moment. I still remembered the sad look on his face when I did that. It hurt just thinking about it. I'm betting he was glad to get rid of me. I was probably an eyesore that was in the way of him flirting and dating and messing around with girls….

Ugh, why do I get frustrated when I think he's with girls?

It's not like I'm his girlfriend or anything...I was only Jan Di's best friend at first then I turned to Yi Jeong's girlfriend.

I wasn't anyone special to him.

I remembered perfectly well that I wasn't really close with Woo Bin or even Joon Pyo. Joon Pyo was a tad intimidating so I kept my distance but with Woo Bin, it was weird how we came close. I remembered when he began to speak with me as if I was his friend for the longest time. It utterly shocked and surprised just how wonderful and caring he was. His exterior didn't match his interior, if you can understand what I'm trying to say...It's like Woo bin is this hard shell, so hard to break apart but when you finally do and the interior shows, it's the best part. Woo Bin was a joy in my life. I actually looked forward in seeing him each day. He became my best friend and without realizing it we were always together…

I looked down at my phone and then pressed on my contact list. I began to stroll down for Woo Bin's name. I was hesitantly to press it.

I closed my eyes and thought that maybe he's busy or something and I'm just ruining in on something important.

I dropped my phone down and sighed deeply.

"Ga Eul…" Someone said from behind me. I turned around and smiled.

"Jan Di..." I could tell that she wasn't alone and a tall familiar man stood handsomely beside her. "…and Ji Hoo Sunbae…" I greeted the two of them with a tight hug.

"Hope you don't mind me hanging with you and Jan Di today." Ji hoo said with a hint of a soft smile at the end.

I responded back with a smile. "Oh no of course…I'm happy to see you, Ji Hoo sunbae."

"Ji Hoo wanted to see you, Ga Eul. He wanted to know if you are alright and everything." Jan Di explained as she took off her coat and placed it on the back of her chair. She moved a chair that was between me and Ji Hoo Sunbae, closer beside Ji Hoo. Ji Hoo let out a gentle grin as he watched her.

I so envied them right there and then. Jan Di was so lucky to have a boyfriend like Ji Hoo.

"So Ga Eul, how are you with everything?" Jan Di asked with a worried and inquiring look.

That's Jan Di for you, going straight to the point.

"Uh…" I began to play with my index finger again. "I'm okay considering that…." My eyes lingered away from them and then right there at my favorite café in the entire world, he had to show up here at that moment in time.

I haven't seen him since….the feelings of missing him, hating him, loving him all mixed right there into an unemotional feeling. It was heartbreaking and indescribable of how I felt at that moment.

I froze. Jan Di waved her hand in front of me to see if I was alive. Of course she would do that. I just froze in mid-conversation.

"Ga Eul, what's wrong?" She asked in a worry tone.

I didn't answer her. My eyes were stuck on him. I was speechless and hurt.

I could see Ji Hoo, looking at me and then followed my gaze and froze. The look on face at that moment was a mixed of mines and something else.

"Ji Hoo, what's wrong? Why is Ga Eul like this?" she tugged Ji Hoo's blazer and followed his gazed and scoffed as her eyes locked on him. "What's he doing here?" She asked angrily. Jan Di was utterly shocked that He picked all of places to have coffee was at my café.

"He should know better..." I heard Ji Hoo muttered as he looked at me with concerned eyes.

I have to get out of this phase. I shook off my gaze on him and retreated on looking only at Ji Hoo and Jan Di.

"Guys, don't look so worry. I'm fine, really." I directly pointed that to Jan Di, who was about ready to tear him to pieces. "He got the right to be here…this wasn't just my place…." It was ours. I didn't have the strength to say that to them but they knew that this café was mines and Yi Jeong's…a place we always go together.

I looked down but stupidly I glanced back at him and saw that he wasn't alone. He was with someone, a woman to be exact.

That made Jan Di angrier. Ji Hoo placed his hand on her back to calm her down so she wouldn't do anything stupid. "Just leave it be…" I heard him whispered to her. Jan Di exhaled and inhaled heavily. "Alright, I won' kill him….for now." She responded with a little pout at the end.

"Should we leave?" Ji Hoo asked. "We can go somewhere else?" He suggested, looking at me and Jan Di for an answer.

I swayed my gaze back to Yi Jeong and our eyes met. He had a shock look on his face.

"Yeah, let's leave…" I answered as the three of us got our coats and left the café. I could still feel the Yi Jeong glance at us as we walked out.


~Woo Bin's POV~

I yawned slightly as my father was speaking. I kept myself very busy with work and other things. It was the only thing to distract me from thinking about her.

I kept my eyes on the table as my father made his speech to others that were in the room. I was playing with my pen.

"And that is all, the Thailand deal is our biggest deal yet so we can't afford to lose this account." My father said with a clear and strong voice. Everyone nodded and began to dismiss from the room.

"Oh, Woo Bin…you will be the leading this deal, understand."

I looked up at him and nodded. "Of course, father I understand perfectly." I rise from my chair and began to depart when he stopped me.

"Uh maybe we can talk for a bit. I think we haven't had a father/son talk in a while."

"Oh, okay." I sat back down and looked at him as he studied me for a second.

"So how's everyone? I see that you haven't been hanging out with your friends for a while now. Did something happen?"

"No, I'm just busy with other things." I answered.

"I see…Woo Bin, I'm happy that you taken an interest in our family business but don't forget that you are only twenty-five years old. It's okay to go out and have some fun before you can actually lead our family. Your mother wants you to have some fun before we decide on finding a wife for you."

"A wife…?"

My parents are already deciding to find me a wife?

"But you said I don't have to marry anytime soon. You said I have until I'm thirty." I responded.

"I know but you see, my son…" He paused. "The doctors are saying I'm losing my eyesight so I'm going to make you the head a little earlier than expected. With that I want you to marry before then. I want to find you a wife that will support you and understand what our family does."

"Father…"

"I understand this is too much for you to sink in so I want you to think about it. Your mother and I married for love and we hope that you would do the same but it seems you can't…so we will be the one to decide."

"How would you know if I didn't find that someone already…?" I uttered without thinking. "How can you be so sure that I don't have that someone I love already?"

"My son, I'm your father. I know just about everything about you….but if you indeed found that special someone. Then let us meet her…" Father said.

It echoed in my ears. Then let us meet her…

"But first, your mother wants you to meet this girl we have for you. She's a bright, beautiful girl. Her father is my college best friend. Meet her first on Friday and then we will see if we can meet this special girl of yours."

Xxx

"Great, how am I going to get out of this? It happened so fast that I didn't have any time to respond." I uttered to Ji Hoo and Joon Pyo who was listening to every word.

"Uh I'm confused…do you even have a girl?" Joon Pyo asked. "

Both Ji Hoo and I looked at him.

"I mean is that do you even have a girl that you love? And what about this Friday, you have a marriage meeting with your father's best friend's daughter….?"

I slouched on the sofa. "I'm doom…I can't go to this meeting."

"First off, why did you say that you have someone in the first place when you don't…?" Ji Hoo said.

"Knowing it was a lie." Joon Pyo added.

I looked at both of them. "I don't know…it happened so fast and my father was saying that he wanted me to marry someone who understand me and trust me and stuff that I thought of Ga Eul and then I don't know…I blurted it out."

"GA EUL!" Joon Pyo uttered in disbelief. "Don't tell me you have feeling for her?"

I didn't answer him.

"Woah…no wonder you and Yi Jeong are not talking." Joon Pyo muttered.

"Okay, why don't you just clear the air? Tell your parents that Friday is a no go." Ji Hoo stated. "And also tell them you don't have someone you love."

"But that's just it…I do have someone."

"What?" Joon Pyo said as he stopped eating and set down the bowl of foods.

"I do have someone I want to marry, she's the one I want to marry and grow old together."

"What? Don't you know it has only been three weeks since they broken up and now you said you have someone and that someone is Ga Eul" Joon Pyo stated. "You want to marry her?"

"Not now….but some day I wish that Ga Eul would see me as someone that's more than a friend to her and when she does, I hope we can one day."

"What if she will never get over him, would you still want her?" Joon Pyo asked.

"I'm not stupid, she will always have a special place in her heart for him but that doesn't mean anything. She will get over him." I stated.

I hope for that. That one day, Ga Eul will realize that I'm the guy for her. Even if Yi Jeong is still in her heart, I will trust that she will love me more than him.

"What are you going to do now?" Ji Hoo asked me.

"I don't know…but first I have to find a way to get out of Friday night."
