Chapter 8
~Yi Jeong's POV~
It wasn't my imagination. She was there, sitting with Ji Hoo and Jan Di. The look on her face was full of hurt and despair that it pains me. Our eyes met and then I truly saw her. She was beautiful as I remember her to be. She was talking to Ji Hoo and then a moment later they were leaving. They picked up their check and left. My eyes were on them until the front door swung back against the hard wind from outside.
I wasn't paying attention to the woman that was in front of me, smiling and talking about something.
I swayed my eyes back to her. She didn't notice that I was paying attention. She likes to talk about herself a lot. The past hour that I have spent with her was all full with her story and not mines. We barely talk about me but that was good for me. I wasn't in a mood to talk about me anyway. The moment I saw Ga Eul, I didn't care for my future wife.
An hour earlier:
"Yi Jeong, make sure you don't screw up this. She may be born and from Japan but she is Korean, so commutate with her can't be a problem between the two of you. You may not like this but it's for our family." My mother said as we sat in the backseat of a black Lexus, going to the airport to meet my future wife.
I was silent most of the trip. My mother was telling me all the things to do and make sure I don't screw this up. She said that for about hundred times now.
"And forget everything about that commoner….she will only get in the way of this."
"That commoner, her name is Ga Eul, mother. I would appreciate if you don't call her that. I already did what you ask, I broke up with her so don't mess with her…don't even lay a finger on her."
My mother scoffed. "Don't speak to me in that tone…ugh for god sake sometime I think you are your father. Don't talk about that girl ever again, got it. I'm getting a headache…"
"Omma, are you alright?" I turned to her.
She began to put her hand on top of her head. "I'm fine…just don't talk about her." She ordered.
I sighed. "Omma, I'm sorry…."
"If you are truly sorry then don't mess up this marriage." She demanded from me and took out a bottle of her pills. She stuffed three of them in her mouth and swallows some water.
"Madam, we are here." The driver called from the front as he pulled toward the parking lot of the private planes.
He stopped and parked the car and got out and opened the door for us. I held onto my mother as she tugged on my arm.
And there a private plane was awaiting us. The ladder lower and a man and his wife began their way toward us.
"That's Mr. and Mrs. Kang…" My mother whispered. "Mr. Kang likes pottery so talk to him about that…"
I nodded and watch the Kangs carefully. Mrs. Kang was very much slimmer than I pictured. She has the pearly white skin that most Korean women have. She wore light make-up. She looked young for her ages. Mr. Kang was not on the slim side like Mrs. Kang. He was humble looking but you can tell that he's from a wealthy family.
"Mrs. So, I haven't seen you in ages." Mrs. Kang said, with a smile as she greeted my mother.
"Madam Kang, President Kang this is my second and youngest son YI Jeong, the one I was talking about earlier."
Mrs. Kang nodded and smiled. "Of course, you are more handsome than your mother described, Yi Jeong-ssi."
"Yes, thank you Madam Kang." I smiled. "But I have to say that you, Madam Kang are more beautiful than your pictures." I said with my famous Casanova smile.
I could tell immediately that I won over Madam Kang.
"So Yi Jeong, it's a pleasure to finally meet you in person." Mr. Kang said as he shook my hand.
"You too, sir."
"Now where is your beautiful daughter?" My mother asked, noticing that she wasn't behind them.
"Oh, Yu Kyung wanted to make sure everything was done correctly…she's likes that sometime but she is truly a charming girl once you meet her." Madam Kang said, with a worried look.
I swayed to the private plane and saw a small figure coming out. She was slim like her mother. She wore a bright green emerald trench coat that was unbutton so you could see her black dress that was covered from the coat. She wore a smile on her face as she reached her parents. She bowed a greeting to my mother and then she laid her eyes on me.
"Yu Kyung, this is So Yi Jeong, your future husband." Mr. Kang said with a delightful grin.
"It's nice to meet you, Miss Yu Kyung-ssi." I bowed to her with a charming smile.
Yu Kyung blushed instantly as she saw my smile. "It's nice to meet you too, Yi Jeong-ssi."
"Now that the kids had met, how about I show you and your wife to your hotel? Then we can have dinner while the kids can have some alone time to themselves." My mother suggested.
Both the Kangs exchanged looks and then agreed with my mother. They left me alone with Yu Kyung as my mother and our driver drove them to the hotel.
I was stuck with Yu Kyung-ssi. She wasn't horrible to be around. She seems nice and all but I didn't feel anything toward her.
I took her a local café I know. She was excited since she never visited Seoul before and hoped for me to show her around. I was shocked to think a girl from a wealthy Chaebol family never set her sight on Seoul before.
We sat down and placed our orders.
"It's seems very cozy but I get a feelings that this isn't your kind of place." She said, looking around.
"Well, this is a place I used to come often but I don't have time anymore. It may be small but the coffee was great and the service is great too."
"It's seems like that…we should come here every Sunday after we are married."
I paused as she said that.
"We can make this our place, our first place together. How does that sound?"
I didn't respond back. I looked down and remembered Ga Eul's voice out of nowhere, a memory that we shared from two years ago.

"Yi Jeong Sunbae…I have a surprise for you." She smiled, as she tugged onto my arm and giggled slightly as she held her hands in front of my eyes.
"Where are we going, Ga Eul?" I grinned happily.
"Just wait and see." She whispered sweetly to my left ear.
I could heard a something jiggling as I walked through something. "Are we are at a café or something?" I uttered, smelling the aroma of the coffee.
I could tell a pout was coming from Ga Eul. "What...I'm right? Why are we are a café?"
"Ah, Sunbae how did you know?" she said in a pouting voice. A smile came over me.
I turned around to face her as her hands still covered my eyes. "Did you forget I have a good sense of smell? Why are we are a café, Ga eul? Didn't you say you have a surprise for me?"
No response from her.
"If the surprise is the café then its ruin so can you let go of your hands…"
"But Sunbae, the surprise is still not reveal. The Café wasn't just it…" She uttered.
"What…then what is the surprise?"
"Sunbae, close your eyes and count to ten…" She whispered as she let goes of her hands and walked somewhere.
I kept my eyes closed. One two three four five six seven eight nine…"Ok, you can open them…"
I opened my eyes to see that we were at the café that Ga Eul started working in. The whole café was decorated in streamers and balloons. A banner of happy birthday was hanging above us. There was a cake in Ga Eul's hands.
"What's this? It's not my birthday…"
"Yet, it's not your birthday yet. We have less than two minutes before midnight then it's your twenty-fourth birthday Sunbae." She smiled. "I wanted to be the first person to celebrate your 24th with you because this is the first birthday of our relationship, so it's special to me. Happy Birthday Sunbae, make a wish!"
I smiled widely as I blew out the candles. "Hope your wish come true, Yi Jeong…"
"It's already has…" I leaned down and kissed Ga Eul. "I love you, Chu Ga Eul."
Ga Eul looked at me, shocked by what I just said. "I love you too, Yi Jeong." She kissed me again.
The first time I ever said I love you to Ga Eul was here, at midnight on my 24th birthday.

"Yi Jeong-ssi, are you okay?"
"How about we make something else our place? Not here, okay?"
She looked at me and then nodded. "Okay, it doesn't need to be here…but are you sure you are okay?"
I smiled to reassure her. "I'm fine…" I glanced up and away from her to only see Ga eul's brown eyes stare at me. Ga Eul…
That's right this was just yours and mines and no one else. I'm an idiot to ever come here like this.
Ga Eul looked hurt. That pained me. She looked away and began to gather her stuff as she walked away with Ji Hoo and Jan Di by her side.
That right, I'm the bad guy in here….no one likes me at this moment. Not even my best friends are talking to me because of this. Woo Bin's voice echoed in my ear since that night in front of Ga Eul's apartment.
I chose this so I have to face the consequence on my actions. I knew my friends weren't be happy with my choices but I thought they were still stay by me…to think this marriage I'm going into is the cause of my unhappiness now.
But I chose this so I won't regret it even if it means losing the one and only girl I ever loved in my whole life.
"Yu kyung-ssi, since this is your time in Seoul. How about I show you to all my favorite places here?"
A smile lighted up in Yu Kyung. "Really! That would be really great Yi Jeong-ssi."
"Then, let go…I know just the place to show you." I smiled to her as we walked out.
I'm going to stay true to my words so I can't break this marriage off. I can't hurt people for my own selfish reasons. I'm saying goodbye to my old life, I'm finally going to say goodbye to Ga eul…
Woo Bin right, I can't drag Ga Eul in this anymore. I will never stop loving her but I can't hold up her life. She needs to move on from me.
I just hope she finds someone who willing to protect her with everything he got.
Now Yi jeong willing to give up Ga Eul, can Ga Eul?
Can GaEul forget about Yi jeong and fall for someone like Woo Bin?
Do you think Ga Eul and Woo bin can be together?
Everything will be answer in the following chapter.
