Chapter 9: fun partners

Yi Jung stepped out of his room and headed downstairs. He nodded in acknowledgement to the greeting of the maids. Saturdays used to be the hang out day with the guys, but since 'love' struck Jun Pyo and Woo Bin, they have dedicated their Saturdays to their girlfriends.

He sighed as he plopped on his couch. He wondered what he could do. Ji Hoo said he had some important plans to attend to today. Now that he thought about it, he wondered what important plans that could be. He just had to ask Ji hoo about it, how hard could it be to get information out of that super sneaky guy. Well you have your answer.

He was not in the mood to hang out with any of his girlies. He was just flipping through channels on the TV before throwing the remote control on the couch in exasperation. He just felt pissed all morning.

Ga eul by now must be enjoying her romantic date with her 'oh-so-perfect Jun Ho.'

He lay on the couch, massaging his temples when he heard his phone ring. His face immediately lit up on seeing the caller ID.

He picked the call but before he could say anything, the person on the line said

"hello there. I want to hire a fun partner for today. From all my findings, you meet the qualifications the most. You are crazy, crazy and yes, crazy. So, would you be my fun partner for today?"

He grinned foolishly and said "well, depends on the payment I receive from the job"

He heard her chuckle before saying

"will smacks on the head and hits on the shoulder suffice?"

"absolutely" he replied, making them both laugh

"so, beach?" he asked

"you took the words right out my mouth. Meet you at So Dung street?" she replied, and he could tell she was smiling

"yeah sure"

"ok bye"

"bye" he responded.

A large smile found it's way to his face as he skipped to his room to change into something beachy, his sour mood gone.

45 minutes later, he was standing outside his car in So Dong street. Ga Eul was not here yet so he decided to just check his Instagram account.

"hey bunny" he heard a familiar voice say

He looked up from his phone to find a smiling Ga Eul a small distance away. His breath hitched on seeing her, she looked so beautiful in her blue and white, flare, crop top which she paired with blue jean, bum shorts. Her face was adorned with the usual minimal make up, her long hair flowing naturally in soft curls.

He didn't realize when a smile crept on his face as well. She finally approached him and he immediately reverted to his normal self

"someone sure looks excited about this outing" he said with a sly smile

She chuckled and said "probably not as excited as you. Your smile was so wide, I feared it might get to your ears"

"oh, I see. You were too busy watching my handsome face. I was wondering why you had drool all over your face"

She huffed and said "me? Your jaw practically fell off your face when you saw me"

He smirked and said "do you blame me? who doesn't have that reaction over a hot girl"

Ga Eul had a victorious smile and she flipped her hair

"well I can understand you, I know I am_" she started but was cut off by Yi Jung who said

"I mean have you seen the model on that poster?"

She looked confusedly at him until he gestured to the poster just behind her displaying a model on a bikini.

She scoffed and muttered "perv" as she got in the car

He however, just chuckled and got in the car.

The drive had been fun-filled, Ga Eul turned the radio on and they had singing competitions. She discovered that Yi Jung had a pretty nice voice, she however, couldn't sing to save her life. They talked about Woo Bin and Jae Kyung as well, even about Jan Di and Jun Pyo. They exchanged funny stories about their friends and in all, it was really fun.

Yi Jung had been watching Ga eul since she arrived at their meeting point. Everything seemed well with her, she seemed to be glowing in fact. She looked happy as they would tease each other about the silliest of things. She would even laugh at herself when she gets another note wrong during their singing competition. She seemed to be fine, all smiles and happy. Well her happy mood didn't mean he didn't receive quite a number of hits though.

But he had noticed those moments when she would look out the window, with that forlorn look on her face, only to face him and smile brightly. He pretended not to notice though and just played along.

"yayy at last" Ga Eul said cheerily as they arrived at the beach.

He could have smiled if her voice didn't sound too cheery to be true. He watched her unbuckle her seatbelt and make to get out of the car but he stopped her by placing a hand on a hers.

"Yi Jung-ah, don't tell me you changed your mind now" she said with a small smile. He didn't reply her, rather he smiled and went out the, he went over to her side and opened the door while holding his hand out to her. she looked at him confusedly but placed her hand in his. He just smiled reassuringly at her before gently pulling her with him.

He led her to an isolated part of the beach and screamed

"hey Saturday, you don't live me, I would be the one to live you. I am going to have so much fun today and you would not be able to stop me"

He heard her chuckle, an action he soon mimicked

"ok your turn" he said, facing her

"aish, its embarrassing" she said, covering her face and he laughed while gently prying her hands away from her ace

"come on, don't chicken out now"

She nodded and took a deep breath before screaming "I am going to have so much fun today. I would get knocked out from being so happy. Ahhhhhhhhh"

She stared at him and they both burst out laughing

"feel better now?" he asked a with a smile

Ga Eul could only stare at him and nod with a bright smile. Inside her, she was feeling a wave of emotions. Yi Jung did all this to make her feel better. He really was a true friend to her.

"great, now, fun partner, ready to go have the best date ever" he said while outstretching his hand to her.

She chuckled and said "I thought you'd never ask"

They were having so much fun, she and Yi Jung had decided to play a small game of 'catch me if you can' and was she failing miserably. Not like that was her major concern, but the fact that her heartbeat would accelerate whenever she feels Yi Jung catch her in his strong muscular arms, left her wondering what was wrong with her.

They were currently walking hand in hand and laughing over something funny that Yi Jung said while sipping their coconut drinks.

"hey Yi Jung-ah, do you see that? That's where all the music has been coming from. It's a party"

"really? It's a party? I thought it was a church service" Y Jung said with a sly smile which earned him a smack on the head from Ga eul

Her eyes suddenly lit up as she saw two boys around their age head towards the party saying

"Jang Suk and Jang Min's birthday party is really cool"

"yeah, but do you think that rascal Jang Suk had anything to do with it? It was his twin sister who took all the birthday preparations upon herself. He only arranged the booze" the other boy said

"well booze is the life of the party. So, we got to admit, he did great too" the one who spoke first replied. And the two boys laughed.

Yi Jung saw Ga Eul look at him with a mischievous smile and he cringed

"no Ga Eul-yang, we are not doing that"

She joined her two hands together and made a cute pouty face. How could he say no to that? No, he had to say no to that. He wouldn't break no matter what. He would last

Three

Two

One

"fine, we go. But when we get kicked out, don't forget this was your idea" he said

She simply jumped around and did a little victory dance

"relax Yi Jung-ah, we definitely won't get thrown out. Besides, there are no bouncers at the party. And don't worry about them not knowing we don't have an invite, I got that covered"

"how?" he asked with an amused smile

"well, if it was one person, it would have been hard, but they are twins. Better still boy and a girl. Each twin would presume the other twin invited us"

Yi Jung smirked "woah Ga eul-yang, I never knew you had that criminal mind in you"

She chuckled and drew closer to him, their faces, inches apart

"there are a lot of things you still don't know about me" she said with a suggestive wink.

He felt blood rush to his cheeks and he mentally smacked himself. He coughed and looked away. What was wrong with him for Christ sake?

Thankfully, Ga eul pulled him with her to the party, the topic forgotten.

He watched in amusement as she immediately mingled with the other guests, saying hi's and all. Yi Jung followed her lead, throwing some girls at the party a dose of his special smile. He smirked in satisfaction as he watched them swoon after him, but it soon wiped off when he saw some boys staring star-struck at Ga eul.

Ga eul however, held on to his hand as they wove through the crowd. She smirked and said

"look Yi Jung-ah, those are the celebrants, come on, let's go"

They were soon standing in front of two confused-looking twins. Ga eul smiled brightly and hugged the girl

"happy birthday Jang Min-ah. Many more years to come, and have I mentioned you look so beautiful in that dress?"

The complement earned a broad smile on the Jang min girl's face. Ga eul simply looked at Yi Jung and winked. She eyed him toward the direction of the other twin and he groaned inwardly before going to meet the boy

"hey Jang Suk" he said, thankful that he remembered the name

"hi?" the boy said unsure

"happy birthday bro" he said holding the boy in a bro hug

"thanks man?" the boy said still staring at him confusedly

How was Ga eul able to handle the girl so smoothly? He knew he had to do something or Ga Eul would laugh at him forever for it.

So, he said

"nice party here bro. The booze is crazy, really man"

That finally seemed to make the boy relax and he smiled at Yi Jung and said

"thanks man. You know, you haven't seen anything yet, more is on the way. We are going to get wasted"

He smirked and said "can't wait, bro"

Though it did sound a bit awkward for him. Bro was something he used to refer to his F4 brothers sometimes. Not to some guy who he just met two minutes ago.

He was conversing with some guys when he saw Ga eul skipping over to him.

"bunny, you have to come with me" she said, as she excitedly half-dragged him to the dance floor

"come on, I love this song" she said as she moved her body to the beat

"you don't want to dance, do you? I bet you dance worse than my great grand pa on his wheelchair" she said with a teasing smirk

He chuckled and leaned down to her ear. His hot breath sending shivers down her spine

"oh, my sweet, innocent Ga eul-yang. It's not that I can't, it's just that I don't want to. I mean, I don't want to show how horrible a dancer you are because once I start, it would become clear that your dancing skills suck compared to mine"

She scoffed and said "you wish. I was simply doing elementary moves, trying to meet up with your standards"

"oh, is that so" he said with a sly smile. And she nodded, a small smile paying on her lips

"then it's on cupcake. No mercy"

"bring it on bunny" she replied and he chuckled and said

"ok baby"

Arianna Grande's 'no tears left to cry' was currently booming on the speakers. And thus, they started dancing, both trying to outshine the other. But they were both really good. Yi Jung was a natural but so was Ga Eul. By now a crowd of people were watching, cheering them on.

But truth be told, they were gone past caring about outshining the other, they were simply enjoying themselves. By the time bad bunny's 'Taki Taki' came on, they did't evn remember their little competition as thye both danced together, each person complementing the other.

When the song ended, they gave a small bow and the crowd clapped and cheered.

In all, the day was going great, they had played some games and Ga eul would laugh a lot when he does something silly. He watched her as she laughed at something a girl she was talking to said.

"hey Yi Jung, Ga Eul, aren't you guys coming into the water?" Jang Suk asked sloppily, he had really had a lot to drink.

"no, I am good right here" Ga Eul said with a small smile

"hey come on, Ga eul-ah, it would be fun" Jang Min said

"no, sorry. I am fine right here" she replied

Jang Min just nodded and smiled before going further into the water

"looks like someone is scared of the water" Yi Jung said with a sly smile as he approached her.

"no, I am not" she retorted quickly, much to quickly

"yes, you are" he said, a teasing smile playing on his lips.

"ok if you say so, I'd just go into the water now" he added with a sheepish smile

She looked relieved and she nodded quickly and said

"yeah run along"

"ok" he said casually, making to leave but before she could understand what was happening, he caught her in his arms and rushed into the water amidst her screams of

"So Yi Jung, put me down you crazy bunny. Put me down or I would kill you with my bare hands"

He chuckled and said "no can do, baby"

"I hate you" she said, but the smile on her face said otherwise

"wee-hoo" he said as he dropped her into the water

An evil smirk graced her face and she splashed water on him

He smirked and said "game on"

And thus, began their string of water splashes as their laughter resonated in the air.

"you are the craziest guy I know" Ga eul said with laugh as they emerged from the water

"well I am crazy for you" he said with a wink

"so cliché" she said, laughing

"don't ever tell the guys I said that. Especially Woo Bin, I'd be done for" he said which made her laugh more, an action he soon joined in

They danced some more, by now it was already late evening. A large fire had been set up and people were just dancing and having fun.

"ok time out, my legs are weak from dancing so much" Ga eul said as she sipped on her coconut drink

"well, I know of a dance, ancient but still as rhythmic, you would never get tired" Yi Jung replied, adding a suggestive wink

"perv" Ga eul said, while throwing a plastic cup at him.

He just chuckled. She was about to say something when a girl in a blue two-piece bikini approached them, well more like Yi Jung.

Ga Eul was never the violent type hence she was surprised at herself for wanting to claw the girl's eyes out for staring at Yi Jung like he was a delicious candy.

"well if your girlfriend doesn't mind, may I dance with you" she asked flirtatiously and Ga just glared at her, not like the girl noticed, she was too busy eye-raping Yi Jung.

"sorry I_" Yi Jung stared

"it's fine. I don't mind" Ga eul said mustering her best smile

"Ga Eu-yang_" Yi Jung said but she raised a finger and said

"say no more. Go have fun, I am fine. Enjoy yourself, don't think about me. I am too tired to dance anyway"

"but Ga eul_"

But he never got to finish as the annoying girl at his side said "come on, let's go. Even she wants us to go"

Ga eul rolled her eyes inwardly. She knew she was no saint, but all she wanted from the heavens was one opportunity to rip this girl's hair out.

Yi Jung looked at her unsurely as he said "sure?"

She felt herself reel in the satisfaction that he wasn't exactly enthusiastic about spending time with little miss annoying.

She managed to smile and give a small nod.

"if you need anything, come call me, ok?

"yes dad" she responded and they both laughed.

Yi Jung was about to leave with the girl but Ga eul said

"wait! Yi Jung-ah, come here a minute"

He stared confusedly at her but he still went over

She leaned in and whispered

"she might be a bit annoying. Ok, maybe a lot. But she is attractive, go do your thing"

He stared amusedly at her and she just winked.

He was about to say something but miss annoying called him over, he gave Ga eul one small smile before going to meet her.

With Yi Jung gone, Ga Eul felt herself crash to the sand. She watched him as he danced with the girl, her, grinding her body against his.

'he must he enjoying it a lot' she thought to herself, wondering why that thought made her feel angry. She dismissed it. She knew what would make her feel just right.

"can I have this one?" she asked one of the guys mixing shots. He eagerly nodded and she wasted no time in downing one.

Yi Jung was getting tired of dancing with this girl, she was hot but just too pushy. She had made like two attempts to kiss him now. His usual self would have kissed her and maybe do more. Who was he kidding? He would have taken her to his car and finished off, but not today. He had no interest in her what so ever.

And as much as he wanted to mull over what was wrong with him, he rather looked around for Ga eul. She was nowhere in sight. He excused himself from the girl despite her protests.

He looked around for Ga eul, asking some people, but nobody knew her whereabouts. He was about to head out of the party when he spotted a very familiar blue and white crop top.

"Ga Eul" he said as he rushed over to where she was. She seemed to be arguing with someone, their voices more audible as he neared.

"I said I don't want another one dummy" he heard her say as she slightly shoved a guy hovering near her

"come on babe, one drink. It's a special drink, you'd love it" he heard the guy say. and he felt his blood boil

"no, buzz off psycho" she said, struggling to get up but the guy held her down as he tried to force the drink to her

"hey You" Yi Jung said. The guy faced him and he punched him so hard, his nose spurted blood like a tap.

He could have punched the guy again, but the weakling was already crouched on the floor

So, he went over to Ga eul

"Ga eul-ah, are you ok, did he hurt you" he said as he inspected her. But what he didn't expect was to hear her laugh

"look it's Yi Jung. My bunny, my handsome bunny" she said still laughing. He could have smiled at her calling him handsome, but he was way too worried to do so.

"aish why did you get so drunk?" he asked as he lifted her in his arms and made his way out of the beach and towards his car. But Ga eul refused to get in, she jumped out of his arms and ran a small distance away

"no, I still want to play" she screamed and laughed hysterically

"Ga eul-yang, we'd play in the car" he said as he tried to approach her

"no, we won't. You are lying now, just like him"

"who's he?" he asked, his interest piqued.

But she didn't reply and rather laughed hysterically, but soon tears were streaming too.

"the fourth. This is the fourth date he has cancelled. He always has time to run around and manage work but never for one date. All I just wanted was one date. I pulled out my dress and arranged my shoes and bag. I was so happy….so happy"

She said her voice cracking with every word, and somehow, Yi Jung felt his heart break for her with every word she said

"but do you know what he said?" she asked before laughing drily

"he said he did come to Korea yesterday. He met his uncle as well but turns out his uncle wanted him to do some business work in Dubai so he left. No thoughts, no objections, he left like that with just a text. The same as always. I am sorry kiddo, I am sorry Ga eul-ah, I am sorry, sorry, sorry, I just have some things to attend to. That's all he says"

By now she was screaming. Yi Jung just let her vent it all

Her voice lowered as she said "but I just wanted one date. Is that too much? He loves me, doesn't he? He does. He loves me for me, I know that. He always cared for me. So why did he go away today as well…why_"

But she never got to finish as her eyelids shut. Yi Jung quickly went to hold her before she fell. He gently placed her in the car and brushed stray strands of hair from her face. She looked so beautiful even when she was sleeping.

He got into the car as well but before he roared the engine to life, he heard her mutter

"Yi Jung-ah, thank you. You made me so happy today, you are the best bunny on earth…the best….my favorite...always"

He smiled as he looked at her, now fast asleep.

"you are my favorite too" he said before driving off.

Ga eul woke up to the bright sunrays. She squinted her eyes and sat up. She could feel a headache coming on. She looked around her and she was sure this was not her bed which made her bolt up from the bed.

This room was elegantly furnished as well but why was she here? Last she remembered, she was downing shots at the party. The party? Then what about Yi Jung? She remembered flashes of him carrying her and random images. She held her head in her hands, frustrated at her inability to remember.

"thinking of me, or should I say of us?" she whipped around and saw Yi Jung sitting on his throne- like arm chair, his shirt buttons open.

"us?" she asked, as she felt the blood rushing to her cheeks

"yes, us, last night, right here, you and me, love story" Yi Jung said, making kissy faces as he approached her

"really?" she asked and he nodded

"but don't worry cupcake. It was a beautiful night" he said dreamily

"ouch" he said as he hit him with a pillow

"what was that for?" he asked in his mock hurt voice

"for lying to me. Beautiful night my foot" she said with a chuckle

He however smirked and said

"then why are you in my shirt?"

It was only then she realized what she was wearing and she gasped while he just chuckled

"SO YI JUNG!" she screamed and he just gave an innocent smile and said

"don't be hard on yourself baby. It was a moment of love after all"

Yi Jung wanted to laugh so bad at the expression on her face. He watched her prepare to smack him again. But she placed the pillow down and instead, grinned like a Cheshire cat.

He gulped nervously and said "Ga eul-yang, why are you smiling?"

She shrugged, still maintaining the smile on her face as she slowly approached him

"relax Yi Jung-ah. There is only on way to find out" she said as she approached

"find…out what?" he stuttered

She smirked, and in one swift move, she pushed him on the bed and climbed on top him

He felt his cheeks redden, what was wrong with him? He was never the blushing guy, but Ga Eul's face being so close to his was not helping at all, and her breath was fanning his neck.

She suddenly burst out laughing and said

"who knew I'd ever see a blushing So Yi Jung? I should have done this sooner. Beautiful night indeed. If we did what you implied we did last night, you wouldn't flush at this small contact"

Oh gosh, Yi Jung felt like entering the ground, when did Ga Eul become such a conniving vixen? And why did he flush? He had to do something quick or Ga eul would laugh at him about this forever

"really?" he asked with a small smile playing on his lips

She stared at him, confused but before she could register anything, he had flipped her down and he was now hovering over her.

Her cheeks spotted an adorable shade of pink.

He chuckled and said "who's blushing now?"

"you_" she started but was cut off by a female voice which said

"oppa"

He looked at the new entry to the room and his eyes widened

"Yoo Na" was all he could say as he looked at the demanding eyes of the girl who asked

"oppa, who is she?"

'ding it' he thought as he looked from Ga eul who was still under him, to Yoo Na.

A/N: so how was it? Hmmm, Yoo Na, who do you guys think this new girl is? What did you think of Soeul's beach adventures? And yeah, what do you guys think of Jun Ho now? Do let me know.

Anyway, good news for y'all. I just completed a major project which has been taking a whole lot of my time these past two months. I thought finishing it would take a month or two extra but I guess playing nerd for two months straight helped to get it done way quicker.

So, now I can update more regularly the way I usually like to. So, expect quicker chapters.

Anyway, thanks for all the reads and reviews guys, really thanks. Y'all take care.
