Chapter 10: Calls and Confusion

Woo-bin's P.O.V

Well. That didn't go well. When I'd spilled the beans about Ga Eul staying at my place, Yi Jung went rigid.

"She's staying where?" He'd not taken it well. At all. "She's staying with you?! Why? What happened to her staying at Jandi's place?" We'd only decided this when we were leaving the hospital. So, even though he wasn't there, it was clear that my best friend was still trying to keep tabs on Ga Eul.

"Ah, her parents are still in the Canary Islands and Ji-hoo's leaving soon. She had nowhere else to stay. Jan Di's house was too crazy, and Jun Pyo's mother would have a coronary if Ga Eul stayed at his house. And that would be last resort, trust me." When I'd mentioned Ga Eul staying at Jun Pyo's his face went ashen. He didn't want Ga Eul anywhere near that witch of a woman that was Jun Pyo's mother. That went for me as well. She was never going near the Shinwa Company if I could help it. I doubted she'd attempt it, but still.

"Ya, Woo-bin, shouldn't you be back with Ga Eul right now?" Jun Pyo called sounding bored while Yi Jung's grip on his wine glass tightened so that his fingers turned white. "Your sisters haven't been introduced to Ga Eul have they?" Crap. My sisters would crush Ga Eul.

"Yeah, your right. Later guys." I turned towards Yi Jung again. He was pointedly looking the other direction. "Is there any messages you want me to pass on to Ga Eul?"

Yi Jung's P.O.V

"No." I couldn't very well drag her from Woo-bin's house could I? As my close friend grabbed his black gloves, he threw us all a cheeky wink, and trotted out, with Jun Pyo calling after him.

"Don't forget to ask her favorite color!"

What the hell is going on? Ga Eul was staying at Woo bin's, she hadn't any family on the continent, and everyone seemed totally okay with it! What the hell?!

Jun Pyo left to go on a date with Jan Di. I was left with Ji-hoo scrutinizing me with his wide brown eyes.

"It's not really okay with you is it?"

"I don't know what you mean." I took a sip of the wine in my glass. It went down my throat, tasteless and disgusting. Placing my cup on a side table, I looked back into Ji-hoo's inscrutable stare.

"Suit yourself." He began strumming a song, humming slightly as he did so. He then stopped suddenly. "Can I borrow your cell?" I stared at him suspiciously. Last time he'd asked that, he had dialed Ga Eul, and I'd had to make up an excuse. I was doing my best not to even think about her! Not that I was having any success but still. Talking to her was out of the question.

"Why?"

"I need to ask a friend something." Eyeing him closely, I handed him my sleek silver cell. When he saw my screen, he smirked slightly. I closed my eyes in mortification. I hadn't changed it yet. My background for my phone was a picture of Ga Eul and me, her holding up a gorgeous pot, the first she'd ever finished.

Ji-hoo began to dial the phone number he was looking for, and then let it ring.

"Hello?"

Ji-hoo's P.O.V

"Ah, Ga Eul-ishii." The young potter's head snapped up. His dark eyes slanted at me. "No, nothings the matter." I spoke casually, and if I was correct, driving Yi Jung out of his mind. He would never admit it, but he was essentially a jealous person. And I'd bet my violin that he hated the way I spoke so informally with Ga Eul. "Oh, before I forget, Woo-bin's probably going to ask you later, but what's your favorite color?"

Yi Jung's face took on a neutral expression. He feigned nonchalance, but I could tell he was hanging on every word he could hear.

"Oh, it's purple and blue? Oh, no reason. I'll check in later." I nodded my head.

Ga Eul's P.O.V

I was a little confused. Yi Jung sunbae was calling me? My cellphone's screen lit up, as it vibrated to the song "Break Your Heart" by Taio Cruz (A song I thought appropriate for a contact alert) I slowly reached for it, bracing myself.

"Hello?"

"Ah, Ga Eul-ishii." I nearly dropped the phone. Ji-hoo sunbae was the one calling me, not Yi Jung sunbae!

"Is everything alright? You're not calling from your phone."

"No, nothings the matter." He laughed slightly. "Oh, before I forget, Woo-bin's probably going to ask you this later, but what's your favorite color?"

"Purple and blue." I answered cautiously. "Why?" If he and the F4 were planning on remodeling the room I was currently in, I would flip. They'd already done so much! Besides, this was already Woo-bin's home!

"Oh, no reason." Ji-hoo sunbae said breezily. "I'll check in later."

"Ok…" I drew out the syllables to emphasize my confusion and frustration. "Take care sunbae."

"You too Ga Eul-ishii. Make sure you practice with those crutches." I nodded, forgetting he couldn't see me. Slightly flustered, I replied.

"I will sunbae. Thank you. Ok, goodbye." Sighing, I closed my phone, confusion taking over. Shaking it off, I looked at my surroundings. Woo-bin sunbae sure had a large house. The room I was staying in was humongous. The large arching walls were painted a sapphire shade with silver trimming. Elegant, shining, sterling swirls twisted their way up to the large glass dome above my head, giving me a view of the starry night. The furniture was all classic, I wasn't an expert, but I was pretty sure the desk on the other side of the room was at least 15th century. God, the F4 were paying money to get gorgeous things like these, only to put them in a guest room? What a waste. Shaking my head again, I examined my bed. A stunning canopy bed with pale blue covers and a misty blue set of drapes set off the gleaming silver poles of my bed frame.

This was way better than a hotel. After unpacking my few belongings, I laid back on my bed and made myself comfortable. I was closing my eyes for a short nap when I heard the first noise. Then there was another, thundering footsteps, like the force of a stampede seemed to be heading straight for this house. Maybe it was an earthquake? Curling under my covers, I took deep breaths trying to calm myself. This was just my luck.

All of a sudden, I heard the bang of a door opening downstairs. Squeals and shouts emitted from there, and with a resigned sigh, I reclined on my silky sheets, propping myself in a comfortable position. They must be the sisters that Woo-bin sunbae had mentioned once in passing when I heard him chatting to Jan Di. Closing my lids again, I could feel the pain medication taking affect. I would meet them in the morning.

A/N: Ok, I know I promised to update more, but that didn't exactly go as planned. This chapter is sort of a filler chapter until I find my idea journal which I filled in during Spanish (Sorry Senorita Pshogis) it's probably in my room somewhere under my Christmas gifts. I'll try to update on New Year's, if not, well, I'll update ASAP. Thanks for all your patience, and try not to flame this chapter! It's 4 am here. I'm only typing this at this time because my brother decided weight lifting RIGHT NOW is a good idea. Well, anyway, Happy late Christmas, and A Happy New Year!
