A/N: Idk about this...It's an epilogue of sorts...I'm just tired of staring at it haha so I'll go ahead and post it. The whole sequence could probably do with some revision, but I'm glad people have enjoyed it anyway. Thanks so much for your reviews and support! :)

How long they lay there curled up into each other on the sweat-soaked sheets, Ga Eul didn't know. She only knew when she felt Yi Jeong slide out of her and get up from the bed, mumbling that he'd be back.

He disappeared into the bathroom, and for a few minutes Ga Eul was left alone with the chilled air and her racing thoughts now that the headiness of orgasm had fizzled out.

Shit.

What had she done?

Well, what she had done felt amazing, but at the same time, she felt more than a bit embarrassed for letting herself get carried away by her emotions like that. Did this even mean the same thing to him that it did to her?

Pulling the sheets up, she sat up and hugged her knees to her chest, ignoring the soreness where his cock had been.

She'd always sworn she would wait to do this with her soulmate, but she had to admit to herself that even if Yi Jeong wasn't her soulmate, she still wanted this with him. It felt right.

So why was she suddenly so scared again?

And what did he mean when he talked about marrying his soulmate? That snippet of conversation came back to her just as Yi Jeong came out of the bathroom in a new pair of boxers.

He looked right at her then and opened his mouth as if to say something, but Ga Eul flung herself down on the bed and tried to hide beneath one of the pillows.

Oh, what did he even think of her now? This was such a bad, bad, bad idea.

Hearing him approach and sit down beside her hidden form, she buried her face in her hands.

"Ga Eul-yang? You okay? Did I...did I do something wrong?" Yi Jeong asked, concern evident in his tone.

"No, no," Ga Eul responded quickly, her voice muffled by the covers.

"Then why aren't you looking at me?"

Ga Eul didn't respond, unsure herself of why she was hiding from him.

"You know, I've already seen everything there is to see. Besides, the water is going to get cold if you let it sit too long."

Water?

"I ran a bath because I thought you might like one...Ga Eul-yang?"

She sat up abruptly, nearly knocking her head against his hand that had reached out to move the pillow away.

"I just...I'm...embarrassed. Because I'm not embarrassed...I mean, I...I just..." Ga Eul trailed off rather helplessly. "Do you think I'm a bad girl, Sunbae?"

Yi Jeong chuckled and brushed her hair back over her shoulders.

"I don't know what you're saying, Ga Eul-yang, but no...and yes...I don't know, you can be bad when you want to, I think. But that's not a bad thing. In fact, I find it really sexy. If you were all bad or all good, you wouldn't be so interesting to me."

"Oh...I'm...I'm sorry, Sunbae, about what I said earlier. I didn't mean that I really thought you didn't like me. I mean I didn't really think that you didn't...I mean I thought-"

"Calm down. It's okay. I'm not mad at you. But the more you talk, the more confused I get. This is why I say women don't make any sense."

"Well...if we made sense, we wouldn't be so interesting, as you say."

"Hmm, good one."

Yi Jeong continued running his fingers through her hair.

"Did you like it at least?...That's not a question you can nod at, Ga Eul-yang. Did you like it?" Yi Jeong caught her by the waist and began tickling her. "Did you?"

Yi Jeong pulled her further down the bed and continued tickling her.

"Yes!" she managed between giggles, "I promise yes!"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure...Sunbae...Sunbae, stop...please...I can't breathe."

He hovered over her.

"But I like it when you can't breathe."

"You'd like it if I was dead?"

"Why do you always assume the worst of me? First I think you're a bad person, and now I want you dead. The level of trust in this relationship is astounding."

"I was just kidding."

"I wasn't. I think I'm going to have fun making you breathless from now on. Shall we start right now?"

He began lowering his face to hers, and Ga Eul protested, feebly, "A-ah, but the water's going to get cold."

"How do you know you won't be burning up after this?" He brushed his nose against hers.

"Um."

She parted her lips, expecting to feel his mouth on hers, but instead his lips brushed cheek. He found her earlobe and kissed it and pressed his lips against her ear one more time. Then he paused.

He paused for so long that Ga Eul almost asked him what was wrong when he said her name.

"Ga Eul-yang?"

"Huh?"

"Saranghae."
