Don't forget to review.
Chapter 8
Yijung send to home at 9 O'clock and he also refused to order his dinner. He just took a long breath as he finished his work he rubbed his eyes and checked the watch and its says 11 O' clock and he have to go home. Because his heart said that his sister would be waiting for his arrival. If not though she would be pissed of when she knew about not him returning home. He took a long breath and went to home.
After thirty minutes Yijung arrived at his home. Without making any sound Yijung entered into the house as soon as he stepped into the house his stomach growled indicating his empty stomach as he skipped his dinner. He didn't want to wakeup anyone at that time. Without putting on the lights he went to kitchen to get something for him.
He opened the fridge and it was filled with juices and fruits. He didn't like juices at night.
"I think an apple would be enough for me." He murmured.
"I think an apple wouldn't enough for a grownup man." following the voice the kitchen lights went on.
And he turned to the voice and only finds his brother in law's smirking face.
"Hyung. You startled me." He asked him.
"Really?" he asked again.
"Aren't you sleep yet." He asked him as he went to dinning table and starts to cut his apple.
"How could I sleep when someone is worrying about some idiot." He told him.
"Noona didn't sleep?" he asked him.
"She has been awake until 11 just went to sleep. I heard your car sound and came down because I clearly knew that you had skipped your dinner. So my intuition is right?" Lee Minha asked him. As he have been doing something in the kitchen.
"I… I have been busy and it didn't came to my mind that I skipped my dinner until I entered the house. I'm sorry." He told him.
"If you are sorry about your doing just make sure of not repeating this. Now give the apple and eat this." He told him as he placed his dinner infront of him and took his opposite seat.
"Dinner.?" He asked him.
"Yah don't be surprised as its your first time getting dinner at this time. When ever you skipped your dinner usually it would be me or your sister who gives the dinner." He told him.
"How did you guys findout that I wouldn't took my dinner and you guys would be knew when ever I came to house." He asked him.
"Its our inner feeling may be you can call intuition, when ever you came I clearly knew about that" Bona entered into the scene and took a seat.
"And as a better half of her I clearly knew about that too." He smiled at her.
"Noona. Didn't you sleep?" Yijung asked her.
"Yah didn't I tell you I will takecare of him?" Minha asked her.
"I'm just curious about that you would reheat the food correctly or not" Bona just stick out her tongue at her husband.
And their little banter starts and Yijung just smiled at them.
"Yah don't stare at us just eat the food. You have to finish the whole food." Bona told him.
"Yes mam." He told her.
After finishing the dinner they said goodnight to him and went towards their room.
"They never failed to care about me. I promise I would do everything just to make sure that both of you and our family would be happy and safe." He told himself as he went to sleep.
Shower of the maple leaves covers a face of a four years old little guy, as he was laying in the bench of his favorite place in his garden. As he was sleeping a gentle hand stokes his hair. A smile spread across his face, at the touch he just knew it is his mothers touch.
"Yi Jungahh," a voice asked him.
"mmmm" he only mumbles.
"You know, I know that you are not sleeping." She whispered in his ear.
He just closed his eyes tightly.
"And now get up, my little boy, if not I will tickle you." his father starts to tickle him.
"Omma, appa…", with struggling and laughing, he just wakes up and ran away from his parents, to escape from his father's tickling.
"Jungahh" his mother called him.
Without turning back he just ran away, then he stops with a heavy breathing, and turn around and tries to find them.
"Omma, appa, omma," he is scared.
He searched through the garden but couldn't find them, he was at the verge of tears. Then a gentle hand touched his head and he knows it's his Omma.
"Jungahh, I caught you." His appa told him as he sat infront of him.
"Omma, appa. don't scare me like that. And please don't leave me. Never." He asked them as they hugged him back and tears rolled down from his eyes.
"Yah, Yi Jungahh, you are a boy, boys won't cry." His father told him and his mother wiped his tears.
"Ok, but first you have to promise me, you won't leave me ever." He asked them again.
"We promise. We wont leave you ever. We'll always be with you." She assured him.
A smile spread across his face.
And soon he couldn't see anything as the sun races blinded his eyesight.
"Omma… appa…" he cried and felt someone is shaking him and calling his name.
With heavy breathing Yijung opens his eyes and only found his sister's concerning face.
"Junga …. she asked him.
He hugged her.
"They broke their promise. They promised me they wont leave me ever but they left me here." he told her with shuttering.
"What are you talking about. Are you ok?" she asked him. Then he came to sense that he was dreaming.
"Nothing. Nothing noona. Just a bad dream. What are you doing here?" He told her.
"I'm here to wake you up. Its already 7:30." She informed him.
"Oh no. I slept long." He cursed himself and went to get ready.
After having the breakfast everyone starts their routine as Junpyo went to his shoot and Minha and Jandi went to hospital and then Yijung informed Woobin that he would join him at the meeting- Bona's new bodyguard's interview. And Yijung insists his sister that he would accompany her and Jihoo took a pause in his work so he decides to tag along Bona.
He stopped his car at the entrance of the museum.
"Bye Noona, take care. Jihoo just watch over her." He told Jihoo.
"Yes boss." He saluted him.
"Don't you come in?" she asked him.
"You already knew the answer. Bye takecare." he told them. Yijung didn't step a foot in the museum since his parents death, he thought that the museum is one of the causes of his parents death. He drove off to his office that is the next building.
Both Jihoo and Biona entered into the museum and just then his phone rang and it was his beloved Ohhani and he excused himself and went to attend the call just then some one caught Bona's eyes and she watched that person's every move.
Gaeul took a long breath and looked at the building infront of her, it was her destination 'Woo sung Museum.' She just looked at the building and it was real, she is standing infront of the museum which she has been longing to see. Its more beautiful than in the pictures which she saw in internet and books.
Slowly she entered into the museum as she studied the every details of the museum. It was more beautiful than she imagined. It was like a dream come true moment for her as a simple middle class pottery teacher whose little wish is to visit this most legendry museum.
Then her attention turned towards the pottery pieces which have been displayed into the glass cages. She already read about this museum and she already knew about every the piece in that museum (as a pottery teacher she read a lot about the pottery pieces.). just then a piece caught her attention. She went to that piece and looked into the details.
"Do you like this piece?" A beautiful lady asked her.
"Who would not? Everyone in the pottery world knew about this piece. It was the piece which won the UNESCO title and brought fame to the potter as the 'Young ceramist of the century'. Though his identity was hidden his works speaks a lot. And his another piece 'Soulmates' that was the one and only piece from a Korean which has been showcased at the Paris Museum. It was his last piece; after he got the title there is no news about him or his works, though his contribution to the pottery is limited his perfection and his achievement is very big and he become one of the prominent figure in the modern pottery history of Korea. Though we didn't hear or see him as a person his pieces tell many stories to us. I think there is only fifteen pieces of him were in the world and ten pieces were in this museum and one is at Paris and another one is at Japan and one is at China and I could not found out the last one. Though it was once in an auction. His every piece was unique." Gaeul just told her everything in her heart.
"You knew a lot about the Pottery and especially this potter." She asked her.
"Not a lot. I just know a little bit because I'm a pottery teacher." Gaeul told her giving her a shy smile.
"So, which is your favorite art piece here." she asked her.
"This one 'Autumn' by YJ. Just look at the details. the one side of the pieces it was filled with the scenery of the season the title says as it has falling maple leaves and where a little boy enjoys his surroundings, another side we could find a little boy sat at a bench who just looking at the tree which has green leaves. Some people may just misjudge that it depicts the happiness and calmness of a child, but I think that's not true." She told her.
"How could you come to that conclusion." She asked her.
"Because, if it signifies the happiness and calmness of the child then it won't named as 'Autumn'." Gaeul told her.
"Then what did the potter tries to convey through this piece." She asked her.
"If I'm right, that the potter tries to convey his own happiness and his own experience. If you look in detail then you could find that the two little boys in this piece are identical so it represents one person and the first one is enjoying the season and the falling leaves it shows that his favorite season is Autumn, and the second boy is just looking at the trees, I think that little guy is just waiting for the leaves to weathered and fell. And he is waiting for the arrival of his favorite season. And May be there is another notion that the season may represent his beloved and he his just like a child waiting for his beloved's arrival." Gaeul finished.(Like me- waiting for my soulmate. Gaeul mused herself.)
"You would be the third person to find out the true notion behind this piece. May I know your name please." That lady asked her.
"Oh. My name is Gaeul, Chu Gaeul same as the pottery piece bears it in English." Gaeul held her hands giving a smile to her.
That lady was surprised at her name. and she shakes her hand and introduced herself.
"….ah..Nice name. So are you a tourist?" Bona asked her.
"No, I'm here for my internship. My sister send my piece to the competition and surprisingly I won an internship in the museum's class. And you are?" Gaeul asked her.
"Oh me. I'm Bona - your mentor for another six months." She told her giving her a smile.
Gaeul was shocked.
"You are Bona as Leebona. The CEO of this Museum. I'm sorry madam." She asked her.
"Yes I'm. did you have any problem." Bona asked her.
"No, I just surprised to seeing you as a person. I'm sorry madam, I didn't recognize you before." Gaeul told her.
"Its ok." Bona told her.
Then they heard someone's calling.
"Noona…I'm here." Jihoo told her as he went to Bona.
"Ahh. Jihoo, it's Chu Gaeul my new student and Miss. Chu its Yoon Jihoo one of my brothers." She introduced them.
"One of the F4?" she asked them.
Both of them smiled at her and nodded.
"Yes I'm. Don't tell me you are also one of our fangirls." Jihoo told her.
"I'm not actually I didn't knew about the F4 thing until yesterday." She told them.
"Aren't you live in seoul?" Jihoo asked him.
"No I'm living in countryside." She smiled at him.
"That is the thing because everyone in this city knew about the F4." Bona told her.
Gaeul gave a smile to her.
"So, shall we move to the class." Bona asked her.
"Yes Madam." Gaeul told her.
Bona lead her to her class room. The class room was set at the another end of the Museum. And Bona opened the door and it was a very simple room and it has been divided into two parts, one side it was looks like a office room with lot of paper works files, and the another side was exactly the opposite to the first one it has all the necessity things and equipments for pottery. Some pottery pieces were displayed in the selves.
"So do you like my class room. Its very simple as my taste." Bona told her
"Its very nice, really for my taste." Gaeul smiled at her.
Then someone entered the room.
"Unnie there is only one candidate came, here, she is Park Minjae and I don't know about the other one's arrival." A lady in her business attire told Bona.
"She came already, Chu Gaeul, Gaeul its my secretary and the assistant manager of this Museum ." she introduced her.
They exchanged the greetings.
Park Minjae – belonged to an elite family and have a crush in pottery having modern thoughts and amicable.
"So, today is our first day class. First I want to know about your thoughts about pottery. Miss. Park what is pottery for you?" Bona asked her.
"Pottery an art. A process in which we could create great things with the clay. I liked pottery because its gives me pleasure as I could make pretty things out of the clay." MinJae replied.
"Ok, now Miss. Chu What do you think about pottery." she asked her.
"As Minjaeshi said Pottery is an art in which we could make precious things out of the clay. But for me its like a … how to describe it, its my soul and comfort, the only hope and work which is with me all the time. Its my comforter, just the coolness of the clay makes me forget all my worries and saddness. For me every potter makes their pieces not just to show the world the richness, they just use their pieces as a gateway to express their feelings, emotions and their passion." Gaeul told her.
Minjae and Jihoo were shocked at her answer while Bona just gave a bright smile at Gaeul as she already knew about her deep knowledge about pottery because of their earlier encounter.
"Nice, now shall we start our class." Bona asked them.
"Yes mam." Both Gaeul and Minjae told her.
"Before that you have to know about the basic rules." Bona told them.
"Rules?" both asked her.
"Yes, if you want to continue your internship here with me you have to follow some rules." She explined.
Both of them nodded their heads.
"First, don't call me Madam, I didn't like these kind of words, it would make me feel aged, just call me sunbae or Unni. No, no. only Unni. Two- I'm not a lord governer so feel free and treat your self as my friend. Is it okey with you guys?" She asked them.
Gaeul and Minjae looked at eachother and gave a knowing smile and nodded their heads.
"Noona can I also join your class." Jihoo asked her.
"But what about my fee" she asked him.
"How about an autograph of the famous musician Yoon Jihoo." He declared.
"You spoiled brat." She started to hit him.
"I'm just curious after hearing 's explanation and I want to experience is it true. And I'm also bored here so I want to join." He told her with puppy dog eyes.
"Okey" she smiled at him.
"So you guys already knew about the basic steps of pottery. Clay is the most important thing to get a fine piece of pottery piece, we have to very careful while choosing the clay and you have to well aware of the thickness and softness of clay. I already put the necessary things like soil and water for you guys to make fine clay if you finished the step one of making the caly then you can shift your clay to the wooden floor then the next step you have to step on to the clay to make it fine for your pot." She explained them.
Giving sweet smile both girls went to their spot and started their work, as a clueless child Jihoo didn't know what to do, he just stared at the girls as both of them started to mixing the soil and water, he just gave a disgusted look at them as their hands are filled with mud. He just want to backout from his earlier request and started to sneak out from there but before he could do Bona stepped infront of him.
"Jihoo where are you going don't you want to try?" she smirked at him and dragged him towards his place and taught him the procedure.
Jihoo has been hesitating to try because we all know that he is a clean freak and white prince and didn't want his dress and hands spoil because of the clay but Bona didn't left him.
While learning he made many mistakes and Bona slowly taught him but he couldn't control himself from dirting himself and finally he finished the first step and showed Bona how did.
"Noona see I mixed it well." He asked her.
Bona just burst into laughter as she saw his look the white prince has become the clay prince(Just for fun our real clay prince is ofcourse our SoYijung.)
"Noona what happen? why are you laughing?" he asked her.
"You are looking dashing with the clay." She told him as she touched his cheek and showed him the clay.
"Yah stop it." He warned everyone.
"Why? What you do if we are not?" Bona asked him.
"Oh, then what about this?" he took some clay and threw it at Bona but she moved and the clay hit her secretary. Bona looked at her and laughed at Jihoo as how pale his face went when he saw Bona's secretary.
"Noona, I'm sorry, I threw at Bona Noona. She …." He told her.
"So it happen by mistake right?" she asked him.
"Yes." he answered.
"Then how about I threw the clay at you by mistake?" she asked him as she took some clay and threw at him.
But he moved and it hit Minjae and so the clay war started at the class room as everyone threw clay at eachother. Everyone was busy in clay war.
Gaeul has been running away from Minjae as she tries to threw the clay at her but she slips away everytime just then with the bang someone entered into the room in swift Gaeul and the person hit eachother and at the next moment both of them on the floor. Gaeul on the top of the person. She already closed her eyes and didn't saw the person she just heard the fast heart beat of that person.
Slowly she opened her eyes and only found a stunned face of a person whose cheeks has been marked with clay as her hand make the mark on his face.(Just to make sure that autumn bring back clay into someone's life.)
"Jungga?" Bona asked surprised?
"Gaeul" cried Jaekyung.
Suddenly she stands up.
