I'm back with a new chapter, sorry for the long wait. Enjoy! ^^ sorry if you see mistake, didn't get to read over.
Chapter 25
Woo Bin's POV
I stumbled inside my bedroom, wanting everything that happened today gone. I hated what I discovered. I hated what was going on inside my mind, not knowing who or what to believe anymore. I thought everything was going to be perfect but I was wrong.
I dropped my keys and phone on the nightstand, stumbling inside my bathroom. I splashed cold water on my face and wearily stared at my reflection. It's not disappearing, that man's voice kept on echoing in my ear.
The person that hired me was no other than So Seohyun.
So Seohyun
So Seohyun
Yi Jeong's mother
I ran my hand through my hair, water and sweat dripped from my forehead. My hand suddenly formed a fist. Anger was forming inside me….I was feeling resentment toward Yi Jeong. It always goes back to him. Ga eul will always suffer because he can never let her go in his heart and deep down inside I feared that she can't let go as well. There will always be something between them that I can't even stop.
I walked out to find my phone buzzing. I picked it up to hear Ji Hoo's worried voice over the phone.
"Woo Bin, Ga eul got discharged…."
"What? Why didn't you tell me…..where is she now? I'm on my way."
"Woo Bin wait…there's more…."
"What? What is going on?"
"I got her test results back and there is no way a doctor would discharged Ga eul without examining her again. Woo Bin listen to me, someone that isn't a staff at this hospital discharged Ga eul….a nurse told me that someone dressed as a doctor entered Ga eul's room, the nurse thought that was weird and went to find me. When she did, I was already on my way to see Ga eul and by the time we arrived, Ga eul disappeared. I went to see if she was officially discharged and she wasn't…."
"What the hell do you mean Ji Hoo? How can Ga eul be discharged without her doctor's consent? Aren't you her doctor!"
"There's more…." He said loudly. I could feel that something is worrying him and that scared me. Ji hoo paused, not knowing what to say…doesn't he know that would only make me more tense, more worry.
"What is it!" I shouted. I couldn't control it anymore.
"Ga eul is two weeks pregnant." He replied.
"What did you say? Ga eul's pregnant?" I said in shocked. "Why didn't you say anything before?"
"The results just came in….but I should have known, she was feeling fatigue earlier but I thought it was from the trauma of the attack."
"I'm going to find her….cal me if she calls you or Jan Di." I grabbed my keys, rushing out as I hung up the phone. I raced down the stairs and through the hallway. I entered my car and drove out to only see her in front of the house. Ga Eul! I stopped the car, rushed out to find her talking to no other than that guy, Yi Jeong.
What the hell? I moved closer but made sure they didn't notice me.
"I'm truly for causing you so many heartaches." Yi jeong said, looking at Ga eul warmly.
"Yi Jeong…." Ga eul said, sadly.
He smiled lightly, looking at her the way he always looked at her before, the look of not wanting her to leave his side. Was he trying to take Ga eul from me? "Ga Eul, promise me no matter what be happy….that is all I ever want for you." He touched her hand lightly and squeezed it. Envy formed inside me. I clutched my hand, forming a fist. "I'm truly happy for you and Woo Bin."
I stared at him. Was he truly happy for us? Can I honestly believe him?
"I wish you guys wouldn't fight….if it is because me….then I'm truly…" Ga eul uttered softly. Does Ga eul blamed herself? No, it's not her fault.
"Ga eul, what going on between me and Woo Bin has nothing to do with you….truly. I just I….I'm to blame for everything and I don't want your forgiveness cause it's my fault that…." He stopped suddenly. He couldn't even be honest to her. He can't even tell her the damn truth. "Just don't forgive me." He whispered sorrowfully.
Does he blame himself?
"Yi jeong!" She called to him but Yi jeong didn't turn around, even though I knew he wanted to so badly. He paused for a second, almost glancing back but he stopped himself. I watched as he fought the impulse to go to her. He drove off in his car, leaving Ga Eul standing there, just staring where he drove off.
I watched her, giving her a second or two. She turned around and there she was tearing up. She sniffled away her tears and headed toward me. She didn't notice me yet. She was too much in her own thoughts to notice my presence. She stopped in front of me, noticing me at last. She stared at me, shock at first then it revolved to ease. She stared at me so vulnerable at that moment and I couldn't take it anymore. I just walked up to her and pulled her toward me, embracing her tightly. She knew I saw it and she knew I wouldn't question her. She knew it all. She knew something was off but she didn't say a word. She leaned her head softly against my chest. She was still tearing up. I could hear her fighting the tears back.
I held her close to me and remembered Ji Hoo's words: She's two weeks pregnant…
She doesn't know. I stared at her, noticing that she wasn't harm or anything. Who was that unknown doctor? What rights did that bastard have to discharge Ga eul?
It's strange….very strange. But right now at that moment all I care about was having Ga eul in my arms and nowhere else.
"Babo…" I muttered to her as I leaned down and kissed her forehead. "YOU can't just leave the hospital without telling anyone…."
She swayed her eyes at me. "YOU can't just disappear without telling anyone…"
"Were you worried?"
She nodded. "I heard that you found out who it was…."
"Yes…"
"And what did you do?"
"Ga eul…"
"I wish that you wouldn't but I know I can't stop you….no matter if I beg you not to, you wouldn't rest until you got your revenge….that is just the type of person you are."
"You can hate me you know….I would never hold it against you."
"I knew from the moment I said yes to you that this would be what I will have to endure in the future…so don't think I would ever leave you…" she touched my cheek. "I made a promise to you and when I said yes, I meant it. I love you and I know that I have much more to endure in the future and whether it's now or in the future, I won't regret choosing you….I'm not going to let those people get the satisfaction that they want. We are going to rise above from that incident…"
"Ga eul…"
"Woo Bin, this time just let me protect you…."
"Ga eul I'm not the one that needs protecting not when…."
"What? Why do I need protecting when you are the one that suffer the most from all of this? I can see that incident is eating you alive…you blamed yourself. You only see yourself to blame from all of this, don't you! You made not believe it but you blamed yourself for allowing me to fall for you….you hate that you didn't calculate all of this, you hate dragging me into this."
"Ga eul….…"
"Why can you admit it?"
"What do you want me to say, huh? YES! I hate the very thought that my carelessness cause you to be hurt. I love you so much that I didn't even think but just wanted you by my side. I am the one to blame for all of this….you wouldn't have been attack without for me."
"You're wrong!"
"I'm not….." I know now, Yi Jeong's mother would have just leave Ga eul alone thinking she was out of the picture never around Yi Jeong but because of me….I was the one who thought carelessly of ga eul and allow that monster, So Seohyun to harm her. Yi Jeong broke up with Ga eul because of his mother not because he didn't care for her. He was protecting her in his idiotic stupid way but I know realized the truth. All the things I did to keep Ga eul by my side only made things worse. I dragged Ga eul back to that woman's hands, allowing her to see that Yi jeong was still and forever in love with Ga eul and now I know that she wouldn't just leave anything alone now. She's going to plan something and I will be the one to stop her. This is both mine and Yi Jeong's faults. I know I can't account for Yi jeong to stab his mother in the back so I could only be the one.
"Song Woo Bin, THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT!"
"You can't know that….the person that hired those thugs were….."
"I know…"
"What do you mean you know?"
"I know who hired those guys….." She responded back.

Two hours earlier…
Ga eul's POV
I watched the strange doctor that discharged me as he led me to a parking lot of the hospital.
"Excuse me but I can't help but worried that this isn't how things are suppose to be…." I muttered, thinking this was all very strange and wrong.
"Miss Chu….please just make me do this and I will explain myself to you."
"Who are you?"
"I know this may be strange but I'm here to protect you."
"Protect me?"
"Yes….you are not safe here. There's someone that wants to hurt you and I am here to make sure that you are safe from harm."
"Someone hired you to protect me….who is it?"
"I will explain…but you can't tell any of your friends…not even your fiancée." So it wasn't Woo Bin? Who could it be?
"Why not?"
"It will only bring danger to him…..now please just trust me Miss Chu."
"I can't trust you who I don't know your name."
"It's Ryu…."
"Where are you taking me, Ryu-sshi?"
"To my boss…."
"And who is your boss?" I asked, following Ryu to a black sedan car. The windows were tinted but I could tell there was someone inside. Ryu looked at me before knocking on the window. The window then slowly lowers, revealing someone inside but the window lower half way. Ryu-sshi whispered something to the person and then the window lowered, revealing the person.
I gasped in shock, staring at the person. "This is my boss…." Ryu-sshi stated.
"Hello my dear…." The person said, smiling warmly at me.
"Mr. Song…." I uttered.

"You must have been frightened my child…."
I shook my head. "No at all…"
"I know this is very…..let's just say I could have conducted a better way for you to come see me but this was urgent. I know I shouldn't interfere but I can't just let this all slips away. You must want to know what I am saying don't you?"
I nodded, confused then it hit me. "You're talking about the attack aren't you, Mr Song?"
"Yes, I knew you were a bright young lady." He smiled. "My son's an idiot but you already know that don't you…..this attack wasn't yours or his fault….it's shouldn't have involve you but it did, sadly….this is the work of a crazy old woman who can't let her son go."
Crazy old woman?
"I'm talking about Yi jeong's mother…."
Yi jeong's mother?
"Yes, my child she was the one behind the attack…..this is very childish in a way to conduct such ill manner but then again she was always an ill-woman." He looked at me, waiting for me to take it all in then he continued. "And right now you want to know why I am telling you this….well because my son is an idiot and thinks he can take care all of this by himself. He doesn't know that the moment you became my future daughter-in-law, I have Ryu here following you and that when I discovered that ill-woman's plan. I was going to wait until I knew more but I couldn't stand it anymore. She was going to have another attack on you and when I discovered that you need to get out of the hospital right away…I've rush Ryu here to have you discharge. There was no time to get Woo Bin involve…so I took action. Sorry for that, my child."
"Mr Song, you don't need to feel sorry…I'm grateful that you were protecting…..and….."
"My child, tell me what do you wish to ask…"
"Why is she doing this?"
"I believed she thinks this is all for her child….."
"Yi jeong?"

Ga Eul's POV
I stared at Woo Bin. "I know who hired those guys….." I responded, flashbacking to what Mr. Song said. Yi Jeong's mother, she did this?
"Ga eul, what do you mean you know?" Woo Bin repeated again. Woo Bin knows as well that why he is more frustrated by this. Yi jeong must have found out as well….was that the reason he showed up tonight? He waited for my replied but he knew I couldn't say it. "Then you know that it's…" Woo Bin uttered, holding my arms as I stared at him. I nodded as an answer. I couldn't say a word. I didn't want him to say it aloud either. It would only be more painful for him than it would be for me. I don't even know what to do to comfort him. I touched his left cheek and smiled tenderly.
"Woo Bin…..let's just go home." He broke out into a small smile and nodded. "We can figure anything out later….right now we just need some rest." I said, holding onto his hand tightly.
We entered the house and walked into his bedroom. We both lie down on his bed, not talking but just lie there, holding each other hands in comfort. Tonight, all we could do is just rest, tomorrow we have to decide what to do next.

Woo Bin's POV
I woke up to see Ga eul next to me, sleeping. I broke into a soft smile, looking at her tenderly. I quietly got up and reached for my phone and dialed for Ji hoo. I walked outside, not wanting to wake her up.
"Hello."
"It's me….Ga eul is here with me, thought you should know."
"That's a relief…..do you know who it was that…?"
"No not yet…..she didn't say but…."
"But…"
"She knows that it's was Yi Jeong's mother."
"How?"
"Don't know, she just knew…I don't know what to do Ji Hoo, I so badly want conflict pain to that woman but now…."
"Woo Bin, resorting to such things never works out in the end but knowing you all these years I can't stop you…."
"Ga eul said the same thing."
"We are both very smart people…..what are you going to do now?"
"I know she's not going to just stay still, she's targeting Ga eul and won't rest until she is pleased."
"What does Yi Jeong has to say about it?"
"Nothing….I told him that she needs to pay."
"And are you going to?"
"I have to…."
"This won't end good…."
"Nothing ends well these days…..either way I will lose one of them, Yi Jeong or Ga eul. I have to choose and every time I will always pick Ga eul. She matters more to me right now and he knows that. I think he knows that everything can never be the same anymore not when that woman in the picture."
"I guess there's nothing else to do…."
"Yeah there's no way to prevent it, she needs to be stop and I am going to be the one to stop her. I'll call you back….and can you come over and check on Ga eul for me?"
"Sure, I was just going to go anyway….."
"Good…I won't be here so watch her for me."
"Where are you going?"
"To finish this…." I hung up and glanced back to my bedroom. Ga eul was still sleeping. "I will make sure this end for you and for our baby…." I closed the door and walked out.

Third person's POV
Madam So was sitting in a dark room, waiting for the outcome of her plan to get rid of Chu Ga eul. She tapped the desk impatiently.
"Madam, she wasn't there…" A man wearing all black stated, walking toward her. Madam So glared at the man.
"What do you mean she wasn't there?"
"It seems she was discharged….." He responded. Madam So glared angrily at him.
"Damn….then proceeds to phases 3 of the plan. That girl isn't going to live while I am here. She's a thorn to my side and turned my precious son against me. She needs to pay. She is ruining anything I planned."
"Madam So, do you think you are going to far….?" The man spoke suddenly only to regret it later.
"What?" She uttered. "You think I am going too far? This isn't far enough!"
While Madam So was yelling at the man, a maid walked in. She bowed lightly and stated. "Madam. Mr. Song is here to see you…"
"Mr. Song…? Let him in, I have something to discuss with him."
"Yes madam."
"Mr. Song….? I wondered why that old fart wants to see me for….? Worry I would hurt your future daughter in law." Madam So excused the man from her and straightened up as the door opened and to her surprise it wasn't who she thought it was. Instead of a man in his fifty she was standing in front of a man that was her son age. She was amused by his presence but didn't show it.
"Well, Mr. Song I didn't think you would approach me like this not when…."
"I'm sorry to barge here uninvited but you see I have urgent matters to discuss with you."
"Well, a friend of my son is always welcome here…" She stated, offering Woo Bin a seat. Woo Bin declined and glared at her hatefully. "Mr Song, I hope you aren't here thinking you could persuade me to stop…..you fiancée needs to be taught a lesson."
"So you thought you could teach her….."
"You wouldn't understand a mother's feeling….that woman is nothing but dirt that needs to be wash away."
Woo Bin couldn't believe it. "Talking isn't going to solve this, you are right about that but let me allow you to know that you lay a finger on my fiancée, then…"
"Young man, are you threatening me?"
"It's not a threat madam it's a warning…."
"How dare you?"
"I think it's my right to do this….now if you excuse me I will be going."
"You think doing this will make me surrender to you then you are mistaken, young man."
"I wasn't thinking any of that, Madam So. I came to tell you that I will cause suffering on you or anyone that harm my fiancée." Woo Bin stated clearly then walked away, slamming the door behind him. Madam So screamed in anger a few seconds later.

Ga Eul's POV
I stared at nothing for an hour just thinking as I sat still in Woo bin's bedroom. I woke up to find him disappeared on me again. I feared from on now I would always wake up with no one beside me. I looked up when I heard footsteps. I smiled lightly as Ji Hoo walked in.
"I see you are safe." He said, walking over to me.
"You must have been worried." I replied, seeing that he had dark circles under his eyes. "Were you up all night?"
"You gave me fright you know….where….no who was it that discharged you, Ga eul?"
"Um…it's hard to say but you don't need to be worry!" I stated, noticing his worried face. "I'm safe."
"For now…..Ga eul the test results are back and…." And? "Have you been feeling drained? Vomiting in the morning?" He suddenly asked.
I stared at him. "Ji Hoo you are asking if I'm pregnant, aren't you?"
"You knew…why didn't you tell me?"
"I found out that morning but it was drugstore test and I wasn't certain….I thought it was stress from work and the wedding planning. I've never thought that it could be that."
He sighed lightly. "Ga eul…."
"So I am then…"
He nodded. "You're worried?"
I shook my head. "I'm happy….but…." I touched my belly, thinking of my baby.
"If you are worried about Woo Bin…."
"You told him didn't you?"
"You went missing Ga eul, he needed to know."
"I'm not mad…..it's just I wanted to be the one to tell him when I was certain…how long have I been….?"
"Two weeks…."
"Two weeks huh….." I smiled lightly. "Did he call you to watch over me, knowing?"
"He just wants you to be safe…." I nodded.
"He's stupid….I'm safe when he with me." I muttered, as Ji Hoo checked to see if I'm okay as well as my child. I stared ahead of me and Woo Bin stood in front of me and smiled. I smiled back. "Babo." I mouthed out to him. His expression turned sour. He pointed at himself. "Me?" He mouthed. I nodded with a slightly smile. Just don't leave me. I thought as I stared at him.
