Chap 21 Jp: I'll die; Jd: I'll fight

Jandi's P O V

I ran as fast as my legs can carry me, away from the horrible scene I've witnessed, I heard him call my name as I splinted towards the closing elevator, hoping that I wasn't too late. I came in just in time for the elevator door to close; and presses the ground floor button as I saw him running towards me, I couldn't look at him, the pain that was slowly enclosing me was unbearable. I step back towards the farther side of the elevator clinging for support, my knees are shaking, my legs are wobbling, my entire body felt cold, as I felt the tightness of my chest sucking the life out of me. I couldn't breathe, my throat is dry, I couldn't even speak, all I wanted is to get the hell away from this horrible place and scream out loud.

Miraculously, I have enough strength left to drive, I tried my best to focus on the road as my eyes were clouded with tears, as soon as I saw the view of my mansion, I immediately jumped out of my car and run towards my room, not minding the worried stares and inquiries of my butler and my bodyguards. I slam the door and went straight to my bathroom, turning the shower on as I stripped down my dress. As soon as the hot water hits my entire body, I could no longer hold the pain I'm feeling inside. I scream on the top of my lungs, knowing that no one will hear me, letting my heartaches carry me away. I cried with all my heart as I recall Minji lying on top of Junpyo wearing only a bra and Junpyo shirtless, they were kissing passionately, so intimately into each other that they haven't realize I was there. How can Junpyo do this to me? Was it all a lie? The relationship we shared together, all those happy days and those loving memories was it fake? Did he really love me?

-Hon, sorry I won't be able to make it to dinner; I have something important to do, how about I see you tonight?

Those exact words he told me, was he referring to Minji? Is he referring to their meeting tonight? How could I be so stupid for falling in love with him when I knew he had once loved MinJi. Is he still in love with her? Was our relationship part of the revenge, MinJi wanted in the first place? How could I end up like this? How reckless was I, thinking that he truly loves me, believing that he really cared for me? Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I cursed at myself for being vulnerable like this. But why does it hurt so much? Why do I feel like my life was taken away from me?

Oh! Junpyo no matter how hard I try, I couldn't deny the fact that I love you very much. Why did you do this to me? Why?

I cried as hard as I can, seating on the bathtub, hugging my knees as I felt cold and empty even though with the hot water splash all over my body. I needed to cry. I needed to let it all out. There is no used in cowering over my pride, I just wanted to cry, cry until my eyes are dry, until there is no more tears left to shed, this would make me stronger, so the next I have to face him, I am already strong, strong enough to prove to him that he doesn't deserve me.

As soon as his car hits the curb, the emotions that are drowning him finally erupted. He screams; punching the steering wheel as his heart throbs in pain, he place his head on it, crying hardly as he saw Ga eul's face smiling warmly upon him. The door blasted open and set of arms grabs him out of his car, he didn't look whose arms it belongs too, all he did is sat down on the ground, his back on his car as he continues to cry. He hid his face between his arms from the people sitting opposite to him. They didn't say a word; he knew they were just watching him, supporting him in a way they can, their presence is all that matters to him.

Woo bin and Ji Hoo were following Yi Jeong, noticing how reckless their best friend has been driving, not paying attention on the road, sooner or later if they don't stop him, he'll truly get into an accident, so without hesitation Woo bin overtakes Yi jeong car about ½ mile and maneuvered his car around, facing Yi jeong head on. Now they are driving in the opposite direction on a one way lane, Woo bin didn't care, he has confidence in his driving skills and as JI Hoo gives him the signal; he accelerated his car and drove towards Yi jeong, honking his horn loudly. As soon as he saw YI Jeong hit the curb both him and Ji Hoo saw him punch the steering wheel and cried with all his heart. Just by seeing his best friend like this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him, he truly must have love Ga eul just as much he love Jae kyung. Ji Hoo pulled him out of his car while Woo bin sat on the ground. JiHoo sat next to him, both of them now watching Yi jeong cried with all his heart. He looks at Ji Hoo; silently communicating with him on what to do, the latter shake his head and Woo bin knew what he meant. He switches his attention to Yi Jeong, he had never seen his best friend cried, not even when his mother died nor when his brother left them. He knew his best friend is suffering, he truly sympathizes with him, but he also couldn't help but wonder why both Ga eul and Yi Jeong had to suffer like this when they are madly in love with each other? Why did it have to end like this when clearly their feelings for each other are real? He had seen Ga eul and she is dying inside as much as Yi jeong because she loves him dearly as much as he loves her. Yes, they both love each other but instead of fighting for their love, why on earth is Yi jeong feeling sorry for himself when he can fight for Ga eul? Hays, he doesn't know what is running on his best friend minds when finally Yi jeong spoke.

-Thank you for not letting Ji hoo drive Woo bin, my car would have been totaled. - Yi Jeong spoke, voice still shaking from crying.

-Maybe I should be the one who's driving so that you'll realize how stupid you are driving without paying attention on the road. - Ji Hoo chuckles while teasing Yi Jeong. Yi Jeong scratches his head still not looking at them and wipes his tears away with his sleeves.

-Yi jeong, what are you doing? - Woo bin looks at him abruptly; trying to snap his best friend out of this madness.

-Woo bin, how's your trip with Jae kyung at Jeju Island? Did you have fun? - YI jeong tried to dodge his questions still not looking at them. Woo bin knew this gestures so he tried to pursue direct to the point.

-It was the best but we had to hurry back home because someone screwed up! - Woo bin hastily informs him while Yi Jeong didn't flinched at his best friend's tone.

-I'm sorry. – Yi jeong exhaled.

-Yi Jeong, would you care to explain us why all of a sudden you doubted Ga eul? - Ji Hoo firmly asked him after knowing what happened; Seo Jin had shared it to him before coming over at Ga eul's.

-I didn't doubt her; I just want to know her past, to know if Ginger was lying or not. - Yi jeong calmly explains

-Well what good did it do to both of you? Were you satisfied about the outcome? Because all I can see is that you just hurt Ga eul deeply and now look at you. Both of you are suffering when you are not supposed too. - Woo bin's words slap him straight into the face, taking him out of his senses.

-Ga eul is hurting? - Yi jeong immediately look at both Ji Hoo and Woo bin, shocked and hurt written all over his face.

-Yes, I've seen her and she is dying inside as much as you do. - Woo bin informs him while taken aback from what he'd seen, Yi jeong is a messed, his eyes red and puffy, his hair all over the place, and his suit wrinkled.

-But .. she broke up with me, I thought she didn't … lo-ve m-e - He stuttered.

-Look Yi jeong, Ga eul wouldn't be miserable right now if she doesn't love you. She loves you dearly. - JI Hoo says it without hesitation.

-Yes she loves you but the truth is, it still hurts her when it comes to his death.

-What? His death? Who Woo bin?

-Soo Pyo. He was Ga eul's ex-boyfriend, he died 8 years ago.

-How? How did he die? - Yi Jeong was shocked, Soo Pyo is dead? But he thought, he thought he is still alive and that Ga eul is still madly in love with him. He groans of stupidity, this is what he gets from listening to Ginger; he suddenly hated himself for acting like an idiot.

-He was murdered. - Woo bin firmly informs him while Yi jeong's eyes rounded in disbelief.

-Wh-at?

-Yes he was murdered, that's what Jae kyung told me. Ever since that day, Ga eul change, she isn't opening up to anybody anymore, she hides herself from everyone, building a wall. Jae kyung said she never talked about his death, never even wanting to hear his name, not even sharing her pain, and secluding herself from them.

-You know what Yi jeong, Jae kyung told me that Ga eul just started becoming lively again when she met you. Bro, listen, stop feeling pity for yourself, she loves you very much; she is just hurting inside because his death wasn't resolved yet. The murderer is still out there that's why she hasn't moved on but I can assure you that she doesn't love him anymore. She loves you, it's you bro! Always remember that!

-Woo bin ..

-That's true Yi Jeong. Please don't doubt Ga eul's feelings for you because she never doubted you in the first place. I suggest you don't listen to other people's crap especially with Ginger. It will just ruin your relationship with Ga eul and plus instead of questioning her love for you, support her, be there for her, she needs you the most Yi jeong.

The words that JI Hoo and Woo bin told him gives him strength and comfort, it's true he felt, he felt her love and trust for him. All this time Ga eul is always there for him, making him happy, never asking anything from him, accepting him with his ex-Casanova ways and loving him with all her heart. He was stupid enough to throw that away just by listening to other people. And now Ga eul is suffering because of his foolishness, he better fix things before it gets worst.

-Thank you guys! You're right, I shouldn't doubt her. She is my world and my everything. I love her that's why I should fight for her. Thank you for clearing up my mind. - Yi Jeong face brightens up as this new feeling envelops her. It's true he had been stupid for hurting her and now he is inclining into proving to her that he is sorry and that they are meant for each other.

-Although, Ji Hoo what made you say that about Ginger? -

-Ya, Ji Hoo what had happened?

-There is one thing I knew that I didn't mention to Seo Jin but Ginger was the one who attacked her in the alley; if I wasn't there to save her, she could have been dead.

-What? How did you know?

-I had my resources. I just don't know what her motive is but I will surely find out. As for you Yi jeong, stay away from her. - Ji Hoo was deep thought, although he knew Ginger tried to kill Seo Jin, he doesn't want her to find out. Seo Jin is happy now and he doesn't want her to be bothered. All he wanted is that to find out the truth, why was Ginger trying to kill her, surely it was more than just a jealousy, it was something else.

Junpyo's P.O.V

-Jandi! - I called out her name even though it is too late, I saw her Porsche zooming past me. I couldn't see her since her car is tinted, I stop outside the lobby, catching my ragged breathing as I hear footsteps behind me. I felt this rage deep within me when I saw her, Minji was approaching me with a smile in her face. I tried to control myself from launching onto her, I don't want to hurt her.

-Junpyo.

-Stay away from me MinJi! - I warn her, my voice trace with anger.

-Why? Why would I? I knew it Junpyo, you still love me, you still have feelings for me, why can't you accept the fact that you don't love that bitch! You love me and I love you Junpyo. I love you.

-I DON'T LOVE YOU! - I scream at her.

-OH yeah? Then why did you kiss me Junpyo? Why did you come after me?

-Because I thought I care for you. I thought you were my friend but I was clearly wrong. You have taken advantage of the kindness I've shown to you. I was stupid, stupid for even considering the fact that you held a special place in my heart as my friend but you don't deserve to be one. I hate you Minji. From now on, I don't ever want to see your face again, I mean it. - I have to walk away from her before I do foolish things when she followed me.

-No matter how hard you try Junpyo, Jandi wouldn't come back to you. You betrayed her. You choose me over her. You already hurt her by being with me, let alone she saw what happened. She saw you kiss me.

-Shut up!

-You'll come back to me Junpyo. You belong with me. - As soon as I heard her words, I stop and face her, held her shoulders tightly that I just want to smash it.

-You're right MinJi, I kissed you and I will regret that for the rest of my life but you know what, when I was kissing you, all I ever thought was Jandi. I was imagining her, her face was tattooed on my mind, and she is all I ever wanted. I wasn't kissing you. I was kissing Jandi. -

I walked away from her, not wanting to see her face any further; just in time for my car to arrive, I immediately took out some cash for the valet and drastically drove towards Jandi's mansion. I needed to talk to her, need to explain to her that what she saw was nothing, it meant nothing. As I recall everything that had happened earlier, I couldn't help but blame myself for the situation I am in. I was so stupid, so reckless that I let MinJi manipulate me. Why did I even bother listening to Ginger? Why did I have to go after MinJi when I should have left her all alone? What did I have I gotten myself into? Jandi saw everything, she saw MinJi on top of me, just wearing her bra and I was shirtless.

Urghh! I groan, clutching the steering wheel while drastically stepping on the gas pedal. As soon as I saw the view of her mansion, I felt my hands sweating and my heart beats wildly. I step out of my car; hoping that no one will stop me. The family's butler bows down to me as he recognizes me; he immediately walks with me upstairs until we were in front of Jandi's room. He bows down to me one last time and left me alone, while I hesitated. I slowly grip the doorknob and twisted it open, I peek in, propping my head to see where she was. I let myself in, slowly checking every corner on her massive bedroom, to my dismay she was nowhere to be found, I've check her library, her bedroom, her walk in closet and her living room. I crease my brows, why would her butler lead me here if she wasn't around? Then suddenly I heard the splash of water inside her bathroom, she must be in there, should I come in? Should I barge in there? I don't know what to do; in the first place I'm afraid, afraid of what would be the outcome of my foolishness. I stayed next to the door, sitting on the carpet, the back of my head glued upon the wall, I breathe heavily, praying that she'll forgive me when I heard her sobs. My heart tore into pieces as I heard her groans and cries, I couldn't take it anymore, I need to see, I need to let her know that what she saw meant nothing. I have too! And without hesitation, I burst open the door, to see her sitting on the cold floor; she had a towel wrap around her body, hugging her knees while her face buried within. The sight that receives me was too painful, I can't believe I did this to her! I slowly close the bathroom door and locked it, I sat next to her, contemplating on what to do, she didn't move nor did she turn her attention towards me, I slowly reach out to her, slightly touching her arms when she didn't protest, I pulled her closer to me and envelops her into a hug. She didn't pull back instead she leans closer to me.

-I'm .. sorry - Those are the only words I could muster because the pain that I felt earlier was nothing compared to what I've felt right now. It was excruciating to the point that I could no longer take it, as the waves of emotions swept through, I let myself give in and I started to cry.

-I'm sorry .. I'm sorry .. I'm sorry … - Those words, I kept on repeating as I sob. I don't care anymore, it doesn't matter; all I wanted is to ease her pain, I don't care if my pride and dignity are tarnish because right now all I ever wanted is for her to forgive me.

I cried with all of my heart while holding her in my arms, I could feel her body shakes as she sobs, her damp hair wetting my shirt as I pressed her head on my chest. I wanted her to hear my heart, my aching heart that is yearning for her forgiveness. I was hurting so bad that I didn't realize she was already hugging me, she caress my back as I slightly pulled away from her, I wanted so bad to see her face, to wipe away the tears in her eyes but instead she wipes my tears. She stared into my eyes as if communicating with me.

-Don't cry Junpyo. - She told me, her voice masked with pain.

-Jandi, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

-Junpyo, stop crying, you'll only make it worst.

-I can't! I've hurt you! I can't believe I've hurt you! - I sob,

-Shhh.. - She comforted me while leaning her forehead onto mine. I could feel her breathing and the tears that were flowing from her eyes.

-I love you - She said with pain in her voice while staring at me, eyes watery.

-I love you very much Junpyo that I can't .. I can't let you go.. - She added; now crying so hard. I pulled her closer as I whisper in her ear.

-Oh Jandi! I love you very much too. You are my life, please, please don't leave me. Please! I'll die! I'll die if you leave me!

-I won't leave you JunPyo. I won't leave you. I will fight for you no matter what. - She embraces me tenderly and I hug her back. The words that she said to me were enough for me to make my decision. As my face brightens up and my lips form into a smile, I lift her up and kissed her passionately with longing and happiness.
