Chapter 13

Yi Jung had never been a man of affection towards women. His mother had never been mentally capable to teach him how to properly treat a woman and his father, well his father had been busier taking women to bed than to show his anything a father should or even be there for his wife. Yi Jung had however for a brief moment in time had a beautiful and strong woman to show him a glimpse of how he should act and treat women. The fading memory of Woo Bin's mother had left a lasting impression but not one that had won over the lonely nights with no family, no affection and his ability to get anything he wanted. He took a deep breath remembering tonight and the museum opening. He knew his grandfather was going to be there for sure since he had made sure to inform him of his presence. He couldn't even begin to think about the girls he had previously been with that would be there for sure. Actresses, models, singers, some of them would surely make an appearance. No wonder Ga Eul was nervous, hell, even he was nervous.

He caressed her cheek as she slept next to him. He didn't know what he would do if she wasn't in his life anymore. He nearly lost it when he found out she had a boyfriend and while yes, he couldn't imagine her being caressed and touched by someone else, it was more than that. He felt selfish in a way for wanting her all to himself but she was the salvation to his lost and dark soul. He didn't realize how much he needed her until he went to abroad. At the beginning he was fine, he immediately jumped into work, for a while did the same playboy thing he did back at home too but then half way through he realized that he needed something more, he needed substance, he needed her. Something real was missing in his life and the first person that came to mind was her.

He kissed her on the lips gently and got out of bed. He dressed himself and went downstairs to make breakfast. A little while later he come back upstairs with a tray of breakfast for Ga Eul and she had just woken up and she greeted him with her angelic smile.

"Good Morning" she said.

"Good Morning to you" he smiled as he placed the tray on her bed.

"Oh, you shouldn't have. It all looks so good" she said taking a sip of the coffee and closing her eyes taking in the aroma of the coffee.

"It's no problem" he said walking towards the window and running his hands through his hair.

"You okay?" she stood up and wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head on his back.

"I am just a little nervous about tonight, nothing to worry about" he said but he didn't turn around.

She dropped her arms and walked around to face him.

"Hey, it will be okay, I am sure your work is amazing and I'll be there with you every moment" she smiled and his body relaxed.

"What would I do without you?" he asked her pulling her forward and she snuggly fit into his body as she wrapped her hands around his torso. He cupped her face and she bit her bottom lip with anticipation. He lustfully kissed her lips and they both ran out of breath quickly so he kissed her neck and made a trail down to her breasts. She let out a moan as he pushed her against the wall and kissed her lips again. His hands travelled down to her waist and held on to her hips. Ga Eul removed his shirt and she ran her hands over his abs making a trail that she followed with her lips gently landing kisses down his torso.

"Ga Eul" he barely whispered, emotion and need high in his voice.

He quickly removed her black tee shirt and took a sharp breath in when he saw her delicate lacy white bra. Yi Jung kissed in between her breasts and Ga Eul's back arched naturally at his intimate kisses allowing for their bodies to became even closer. Ga Eul felt her breath catch in her throat when she felt his aroused body fit into hers as she slightly jumped and wrapped her legs around his torso.

"Ga Eul, you are driving me crazy" he whispered in her ear as warm shivers ran down her spine. She had kissed her boyfriend and even made out with him but never had she so quickly taken clothes of with him or for him. In the time they were together. she had never had sex with him and she did not know if she was ready even now but there was something about Yi Jung that made her trust him, and want him.

Yi Jung kissed her again as he held on to her waist and she ran her hands through his black hair. Yi Jung reached for her shorts as his thumb ran on the inside of the elastic preparing to make her his at this very moment.

Both their phones rang ripping them from their personal bubble and back into reality. Ga Eul's feet lightly touched the ground as she pulled away from him and grabbed her shirt before she answered the phone.

"Miss Ga Eul?"

"Yes, this is she" Ga Eul said.

"This is just a reminder that your dress appointment is in an hour" she lady said.

"Oh, yes, of course. I'll be there" Ga Eul said before hanging up and shooting Jae Kyung a text.

"It was the museum" Yi Jung said, "I have to get going and prepare for tonight but I'll see you there".

"Of course" she smiled.

"Hey" he said picking up her chin so he could see her eyes, "I am sorry if that made you feel rushed".

"No, don't worry about it" she said, "I am going dress shopping with Jae soon so I should get ready".

"Okay, I'll see you tonight" he said making his way downstairs.

…..

Woo Bin woke up on the right side of bed but the wrong side of mood. He smiled as soon as he woke up seeing Jae Kyung laying in his arms. It almost made him feel like he was in an alternative universe were it could be like this everyday and he had no responsibilities or his father to deal with or a proposal to do tonight. What was the point to any of it? he thought. I am about to enter a life in which I get to watch the woman I love be with a different man and I am going to marry a witch just so I can make sure that same woman I love is breathing while being with another guy. He felt like punching a wall or two so he decided to get up and maybe find something to eat. He gently moved Jae Kyung's arm which had rested on his chest and left a kiss on her lips before heading downstairs.

It felt like it was too hot for a fall day or maybe he just felt hot and annoyed at everything. Whatever the case was he felt like he was burning up so he removed his upper layers and proceeded downstairs with just his pair of black pants. He opened the fridge and the kitchen cabinets, one by one grabbing fruit and milk. He cut up a banana and put it in his cereal before taking a spoonful from the bowl. He heard voices coming towards the kitchen but he didn't bother to move from his standing position. Two maids appeared in the kitchen and both gasped before bowing.

"Sorry, I startled you" he said placing the bowl in the sink.

"No, it's quite alright" one of them spoke up quickly.

"So, what does Jae like for breakfast?" he asked them, "Sorry, Miss Jae Kyung" he laughed a bit.

"She doesn't eat much" one of them said, "At least not recently, she actually hasn't been eating much at all recently".

The other maid cleared her throat to let the other one know to stop talking.

"Really? Why is that?" he asked looking at them even though their eyes looked at the floor.

"We don't really know" the other maid said.

"Girls please, I am her friend, you can tell me" he said slightly approaching them.

"I think she is stressed about work, and pressure from her parents, and…"

"And what?" he asked.

"And her boyfriend"

"What about him?" Woo Bin asked, his body tensing up.

"He is just not very nice, whenever he comes by the house they always fight and this last time it was really bad. They were yelling a lot and when he left she was" the maid paused, "Miss Jae Kyung was crying a lot. She didn't think we knew because she closed her bedroom door but when she come down stairs her eyes were big and puffy and red and she seemed really sad about something"

"Anyways, we have said too much, we must get back to work" the other maid said as they headed towards the living room.

Woo Bin took a deep breath and briefly rested his hands on the kitchen counter. He looked up at the clock in the kitchen and saw it was already 9:30am. He needed to finish up some work at the office and prepare his suit before the museum opening tonight and of course mentally prepare himself for the proposal. When he got to her bedroom he noticed that she was up and sitting cross legged on her bed scrolling through her phone. He noticed her collar bones poking out and her face was thinner than he remembered before. He knew it probably had a lot to do with the pressure from her parents but it had escalated even more now from that bastard.

"You know" he said and she looked up taking a short breath noticing his bare abs, "You are quite the hypocrite"

"Well good morning to you too" she said pulling up her legs and hugging them to her chest.

"You reprimand me for not eating dinner or breakfast when apparently you don't eat at all" he said standing in front of her.

"Who told you that?" she asked.

"I'm not the only one with talkative workers" he smiled.

"Ohh" she said holding her head, "What am I going to do with those girls?"

Woo Bin grabbed her foot and swiftly pulled her to him. He rested his hand on either side of her on the bed and his face was inches away from her. Her arms where by her ribs and she held them tightly by her side as she was startled by his sudden actions.

"Umm, what are you doing?" she stuttered to ask him.

"If he makes you so unhappy why don't you break up with him?" he asked her not answering her question.

"Hey, who said he makes me unhappy? Besides, you are one to talk, not only is your girlfriend a bitch but you don't even like her" she said quickly but as soon as the words escaped her mouth she realized she was way out of line and she covered her mouth with her hand.

"He makes you happy huh?" he asked and she just starred at him expecting him to start yelling at her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her up to his body standing up. Her breath stopped at her throat and she gasped when he picked her up but she wrapped her legs around his torso. She looked into his eyes and gently cupped his face as she saw his Adam's apple move up and down as he swallowed his breath. He covered her lips with his, gently kissing her, taking his time to remember her every curve and how her soft pink lips tasted. He realized he probably should not be getting sentimental at this point but he needed something to hold on to when he couldn't be with her. Jae Kyung turned her head a bit and deepened their kiss as she also tugged his hair ran running her hands through it. They both parted and breathed heavily, resting their foreheads on each other.

…

"JAE!" Ga Eul yelled from her fitting room, "You did what?!"

"It's not like we had sex but ugh, I know, I know. I am a terrible person and I feel awful for doing anything with him while we are both in a relationship, I just, I, I don't know" she said from her fitting room.

"It sounds to me like you need to break up with your boyfriend so that you can stop being upset because clearly he is not very nice if he keeps pressuring you about your family's business and you need to tell Woo Bin how you feel. Enough with the non sense besides, you told me to tell Yi Jung and now I think it's time for you to hold up your part of the deal" Ga Eul said.

"Not to change the subject here but how are you and Yi Jung?" Jae Kyung asked.

"You are changing the subject but what do you mean?"

"I mean, I know the pressure you must be feeling right now especially since you know you haven't been intimate with anybody like that before and Yi Jung clearly has. I just don't want you too feel pressured to get into something quickly because of his past. I know he respects you and I know he is looking for something more than just sex so don't feel bad if you haven't done anything" Jae Kyung said opening her fitting room curtain and stepping out.

"Thanks Jae, you really know what to say even if I don't communicate how I am feeling" Ga Eul smiled opening her curtain as well.

"Hot damn, let me see you out here" Jae Kyung said looking at Ga Eul's emerald floor length fitted dress.

"You like it?" Ga Eul said as she looked at herself in the mirror. It fit her every curve perfectly and an elegant train followed her as she walked around the fitting room.

"I am pretty sure tomorrow's newspapers are going to read "World Famous Artist, Yi Jung Could not control his erection due to his stunning girlfriend at last nights' gallery opening"" Jae Kyung laughed.

"Oh my God!" Ga Eul said covering her face with her hands.

Jae Kyung looked at herself in the mirror and said,

"Ugh, I really have to go get a facial, these bags under my eyes are not attractive".

"Excuse me" Ga Eul said, "I think tomorrow's paper is going to read, "Mafia Boss Woo Bin lost all shred of control due to the gorgeous lady in red"".

Jae Kyung laughed and asked,

"You really like this red on me?"

"I love it, you look beautiful" Ga Eul said smiling.

As they changed out of the dresses, Ga Eul gasped and Jae Kyung popped out of her dressing room all dressed and ready with her red dress in her hand.

"What happen?" she asked.

"Jae, the price on this dress is ridiculous" Ga Eul said sadly.

"No, it's not, come on" Jae Kyung said bringing her to the register.

Ga Eul opened her mouth to talk but Jae Kyung placed both the dresses on the counter and said,

"Can you put both of these on my account please"

"Of course" the woman said as she gently placed each dress into garment bags.

"Jae, you can't do this. It's too expensive" Ga Eul said as they went towards Jae Kyung's car.

"Of course I can, money comes and goes" Jae Kyung said, "But my predicted headline on tomorrow's newspaper only comes once a lifetime".

They both laughed as the chauffeur placed the dresses in the back and asked were to next.

"The spa please" Jae Kyung said, "Time to get pampered".

…..

"Can you stop moving around so much?" Woo Bin said to Yi Jung who was pacing around in Woo Bin's room as Woo Bin fixed his black tie.

"I am just nervous, I haven't spoken to Ga Eul since the morning and Jae Kyung won't let me talk to her because she says I am making her nervous" Yi Jung said continuing to pace.

"Damn, you are making me nervous let alone poor Ga Eul who has never been to anything with more than one camera or person in her face" Woo Bin said heading to his watch table and picking out a gunmetal Tom Ford watch.

"I mean seriously" Yi Jung continued, "All Jae Kyung sent me was a text saying that Ga Eul was wearing emerald so I could match with my tie and she followed it by a wink face. What is that?" Yi Jung raised his voice while pacing.

"I think Jae wants you" Woo Bin said to get him to stop pacing and it worked.

"What?' Yi Jung said his eyes wide but he relaxed when he saw a smirk on Woo Bin's face. "Sorry, I am being a pain, I really just need to get there, my work will relax me".

"Make sure you stay relaxed because the wick face probably means Jae picked out quite a dress for Ga Eul" Woo Bin said chuckling.

"Very funny" Yi Jung said but he stopped in his tracks when he saw Woo Bin pick up the same velvet box and place it in his pocket.

"Woo Bin, what are you doing?" he asked.

"Listen, Yi Jung I don't want to talk about this right now" he said releasing a heavy breath and continued before Yi Jung could say anything, "No matter how much we tried to avoid this we all knew it was impossible for me to ever end up with somebody I actually cared about. I am not saying this so you can feel sorry for me but you as well as everybody was surprised when Jan Di and Jun Pyo actually ended up together. Ga Eul and you are a different story; there is no parents influence or other influences, it was just your stubbornness that gave in so you could be with the woman you love but me" he paused, "My parents, no, I should say my father and the kind of business I will always be involved in doesn't have room for a woman. We played the game together for a while and I appreciated having you by my side for that time but it's time for us to stop dancing around life and how it will end. I want you to be happy and happy with Ga Eul that is so don't mess it up but I can't put her life at risk. It will either be my life or her life".

Yi Jung stood in the middle of the room, unable to move one muscle. He knew that everything Woo Bin was saying was true, but he had just hoped that they would never get to this point even though it was inevitable.

"Well, you know I am still here for you, always" Yi Jung said and it came out as a faint whisper.

"I know" Woo Bin nodded and slipped on his jacket, "Now come on, let's go pick up your lovely girlfriend and my future wife".

…..

"So, what is going to happen between you and Woo Bin?" Jan Di asked Jae Kyung as they all got ready at Ga Eul's house.

"What do you mean?" Jae Kyung asked.

"Well, you do kiss each other every chance you get and now you broke up with your boyfriend so are you going to profess your love to him?" Jan Di asked.

"Oh by the, how did the break up go?" Ga Eul asked from the bathroom as she did her make up.

"You know, surprisingly, he was really calm about it and agreed with me saying that I didn't think we should see each other anymore. Now that I think about it, it was sort of weird because I expected him to overreact but there was nothing, I don't know maybe I'm just over thinking it" Jae Kyung said slipping on her red dress carefully.

"Really?" Ga Eul said thinking about who her ex actually was and afraid he might do something to retaliate.

"Oh well" Jan Di said, "So answer the question missy. What about Woo Bin?"

"I don't know, I might tell him tonight" Jae Kyung took a deep breath in the mirror touching up her red lipstick, "No you know what I am going to tell him and ask him what we are because friends don't just kiss and act like nothing happened".

"Good, then maybe we can all have normal lives especially since Yi Jung finally came to his senses. God knows I was going to beat him up pretty soon" Jan Di said and they all laughed.

The doorbell rang and they all looked at each other.

Jan Di looked outside and saw four cars.

"They are here but who is the fourth car?" Jan Di asked.

"Oh, it's Ji Hoo" Jae Kyung said, "Since his girlfriend had a family dinner and I am newly single I figured we could make an entrance together".

They all headed downstairs and Ga Eul closed the door behind her coming face to with Yi Jung who took a sharp breath in.

"You look stunning" he said, "but a bit unfair, not I definitely won't be able to concentrate".

She laughed and gave him a small kiss on the lips.

Jan Di took Jun Pyo's arm and they proceeded to their car. Jae Kyung looked up and saw Woo Bin in the car with his girlfriend in the front seat but she smiled at Ji Hoo who extended his arm for her to take as he smiled as well.

"You look beautiful" he whispered in her ear. She giggled and said,

"You look quite handsome as well".

Woo Bin held on to his black tie as they all proceeded to drive towards the museum. He felt short of breath from seeing Jae Kyung in that dress and the thought of never being able to be with her like that morning again. Tonight was going to be the end of him.
