Chapter 26: What Love Is
Jae Kyung headed down to the kitchen in the morning. It had been about a week since she had been living in Woo Bin's house and she had gotten to know the staff pretty well. Even though she was the heiress to a major company, she always made it a point to get to know her staff.
"Good Morning" she greeted the two maids in the kitchen preparing breakfast. Jae Kyung wore one of Woo Bin's black dress shirts and a pain of black short, not able to be seen from the length of the shirt. She was doing some laundry so she had decided to grab on of his shirts for a couple of hours.
"Good Morning Miss" they both said. One of the maids was around her mother's age and the other was around her age. They were mother and daughter and she had gotten comfortable with them.
"I don't want you to get the wrong idea here" she laughed pulling on Woo Bin's shirt she wore.
"Of course not" the young maid said, "Besides the young master is still wounded, I don't see how we could get the wrong idea".
"That's true" Jae Kyung laughed a little, "So if his breakfast is ready I can take it up to him" she smiled as the maid handed her a tray with breakfast.
She walked up the stairs and placed the tray down in his room when she noticed he was not in bed. She looked around but did not see him and then she heard the shower running. She walked over to his bed and drew the covers making the bed neatly. She threw on the decorative pillows and straightened them out before sitting at the end of the bed facing the bathroom door waiting for him. She pulled out her phone and saw that she had a text message from Jan Di. She opened it and laughed as she red it.
"Jae Kyung! Where have you been lately? Is Woo Bin really recovering or is he just faking to use you for sexual pleasures?"
Jae Kyung continued laughing as she thought of a response she would send back. She wrote back and said,
"I wish! Are you and Jun Pyo making a baby yet or what?"
She laughed thinking about Jan Di and Jun Pyo. She took a deep breath as she looked at her response. Why did I just say I wish she thought, do I really? She was so deep in thought that she did not realize Woo Bin had just opened the door but he did not move forward.
He looked at her and his feet could not move but his mind and heart were going a million different directions. She sat at the end of his bed wearing his dress shirt and her long legs crossed in front of her. He could not tell if she wore shorts but it did not matter because she looked stunning. Her lips were relaxed but she starred at her phone deep in thought. Her slightly wavy hair was in a messy bun and finally she looked up noticing him at the door.
"Good Morning" she smiled at him and the air escaped his lungs.
"Morning" he managed to make out.
Jae Kyung looked up at him and she could not say much else. Even though she had seen him shirtless before, it still made her heart jump every time. The wound he had from the fight at her house was now just a faint scar but his gunshot wound was still healing with gauze over it.
"Are you okay?" she asked standing up.
"I have been better" he said walking towards his closet and closing the door with just a crack open, "Why are you wearing my shirt?"
"Sorry, I am doing laundry and I ran out of shirts and I did not want to walk around with just a tank top" she explained and he was glad his door was almost shut because he could not help but smile thinking about what she looked like under the shirt.
"So you figured you would steal my clothes?" he asked pulling up a pair of black dress pants and buckling his black belt.
"Hey! I am just borrowing besides it's not like you can do anything to stop me" she teased him.
"You just wait until I get a little better and I will get you back for all the times you have gotten away with things" he said playfully.
"Oh please" she said, "Besides it's not like you staff thinks we did anything, they know you are hurt".
"My staff saw you like that?" he asked pulling out a fresh blue shirt and opening the door stepping out throwing the shirt on his bed.
"Yep, they are quite nice but don't worry I made sure they don't misunderstand and anyways they know you don't bring your women here" she said turning around to face him and backed up until she was against the end of the bed realizing that he was still shitless.
"Oh?" he said.
"You said it yourself, no way out remember?" she teased.
"That's true, so then why do you think I am letting you stay here?" he asked.
"Because I am taking take of you" she said without thinking it through.
"Maybe" he said approaching her until he was in front of her, "Or maybe I just like to have a pretty woman to look at".
Her big eyes looked up at him and she swallowed hard, she could not say anything,
"So now I am your visual aid?" she asked.
"Well what's a guy to do when he has to lie in bed for two weeks?" he asked, "Besides it's not like you did not show off your assets".
"What?" she asked her voice rising.
"You know I am telling the truth, I mean look at what you are wearing now" he teased her, "Are you even wearing pants?"
"Of course I am" she said pulling up the shirt but he almost wished that he had not asked because now her flat stomach was in plain sight as well, "It's not like you have been wearing much clothing either" she narrowed her eyes at him.
"What?" he asked still looking at her but she put down her shirt.
"You have been shirtless for two weeks" she said and he smiled seductively.
"I thought you liked it that's why I did not wear anything" he said and her mouth dropped open.
"You are ridiculous and I don't even think of you in that way" she said looking away from him.
"Really?" he asked pushing his body against her by wrapping his arms around her waist, forcing her to look up at him as he got closer.
"What are you doing?" she whispered as his lips got closer to hers. Her lungs were surrounded by his fresh, crisp cologne and shower gel. She could not think of anything but his lips.
"If you don't think of me in that way, then stop me" he said his lips hovering over hers.
Against her will her arms cascaded on his chest and made their way up to his neck as she welcomed his lips on hers. He kissed her with a passion and want and she returned it with the same force running her hands through his hair. She had not realized how much she had missed his lips against hers. When she bit his lower lip, she was surprised when he picked her up and laid her down on his bed but the feeling of his body on hers felt so right. He continued kissing her as his hand ran up her thigh pasted her shorts and caressed her waist before reaching up for her breasts. A soft moan escaped her lips as he kissed her neck.
The ring of his phone made them both call back on reality and Woo Bin slowly rose up from his bed and walked over to his phone. Jae Kyung rapidly stood up and headed for the door when Woo Bin hung up his phone and said,
"Hey, I am going out now but I will be back later" he said.
"Okay" she nodded.
"I will pick you up at seven" he said.
"For what?" she asked.
"Dinner, wear something nice" he said.
She nodded and walked towards her room with a smile on her face.
…
"Don't be so nervous" Yi Jung squeezed Ga Eul's hand as they stood outside of the fancy restaurant.
"How can I not be nervous?" she asked her eyes wary.
"She is going to like you, come on" he pulled her by the hand into the restaurant.
They walked into the restaurant and it was the nicest restaurant Ga Eul had seen in a long time besides the one where Yi Jung had proposed. The sheer white drapes ran form the high ceiling to the floor covering the tall windows. The tables were square with crisp white table cloths and fresh floral arrangements decorating them. Yi Jung led her to a table positioned towards the windows. Ga Eul saw an elder woman sitting at the table waiting for them. She had a resilient look on her face and wearing a black dress with a white jacket on. Certain features of her face reminded Ga Eul of Yi Jung.
"Hello Grandmother" Yi Jung bowed as he greeted her.
"Hello" Ga Eul said doing the same thing.
"Good Evening" his grandmother said smiling, "Please sit".
They both sat down and Ga Eul nervously twisted her engagement ring.
"Don't be so nervous Ga Eul" his grandmother said, "You already have him wrapped around your finger".
Ga Eul smiled as Yi Jung squeezed her hand.
"So Ga Eul tell me about your job" his grandmother said taking a sip of wine.
"Well I am a teacher for kindergarten and I absolutely love it. The kids are wonderful" she smiled thinking about her students.
"I am glad you love it so much" his grandmother smiled.
After they had eaten dinner and enjoyed some conversation, dessert was being served to them when his grandmother said,
"Now Ga Eul, are you ready for the life you will have with Yi Jung?"
"What do you mean?" Ga Eul asked politely.
"Well as you know Yi Jung was already a very talented artist so he was constantly in the media and papers. Now he is going to be the head of a legacy and that brings much more media and eloquent parties. As I presume you don't seem the type to like those sorts of things but Yi Jung will need you to be there with him" his grandmother said.
"I know, I understood Yi Jung's lifestyle long before we were together" Ga Eul said.
"You understood his lifestyle and still chose to be with him?" she asked interested in Ga Eul's response.
"I do because I loved him and I still do; I liked to think that I moved on but even when I was thousands of miles away all I could think about was him" Ga Eul said.
"You fell in love with him when he was a Casanova with many different women around him?" she asked and Yi Jung closed his eyes momentarily as his grandmother brought up his past. He waited in baited breath for her answer and Ga Eul chucked a little.
"I guess you can't chose who your heart does besides I realized that somebody who lived the lifestyle he did was the one that needed the most love" Ga Eul said and his grandmother's eyes relaxed, "I knew he had a good heart" Ga Eul smiled at him, "He just needed a little guidance and lots of love".
He smiled at her. He did not really know what he had done to deserve her.
"I see" his grandmother smiled as well, "Well then when is the wedding?"
….
Two Months Later
Ga Eul took a deep breath as looked at herself in the long mirror. The white dress fit her like a glove and the soft veil fell behind her softly curled hair in a half up do. These past two months had seemed to have passed at record speed and it had all been a world wind for her. The wedding had been planned by a professional wedding planner who was quite nice and Ga Eul had insisted on a small wedding with just friends and family. She had never been one to have something flashy. She walked towards the window and looked outside at the beach. They had decided to have the wedding at Yi Jung's grandmother's vacation home by the beach.
She saw the ceremony was set up already with only a few chairs set up outside overlooking the ocean. There was delicately placed flowers at the end of each chair. The white color of the chairs was decorated with the soft pink peonies and she smiled thinking about the fact that at the end the day she would be Yi Jung's wife.
There was a knock at the door and she said,
"Come in" and Jae Kyung and Jan Di walked in with their Grecian pink bridesmaids dresses adorning their bodies.
"Hi" Jae Kyung said cheerfully closing the door behind her, "Oh you look so beautiful" she smiled.
"Thank You" Ga Eul smiled brightly, "You both look gorgeous as well".
"Are you excited?" Jan Di asked.
"Of course I am, I still think it's a dream" she said softly touching her floral bouquet.
"I am so happy for you" Jae Kyung said smiling.
"I am happy for you too" Ga Eul said and Jae Kyung blushed.
"Yeah who would have known that Woo Bin would fall head over heels for a princess" Jan Di teased her.
"To tell you guys the truth I felt like I was in a dream that night he took me to dinner" Jae Kyung said.
"Yeah well I had to ask you because he did not tell any of the guys at first" Jan Di said, "I mean I don't think that they would have believed him anyways, isn't that when he told you he loved you?"
"Yeah, when he first said it I had to ask him to repeat it because I thought it was a dream or something" she chuckled, "but then he gave me a ring to make his promise real, it's not an engagement ring or anything but I guess a relationship ring" Jae Kyung said smiling as she looked down at the vintage white gold ring with a deep blue stone on it.
"Well soon enough I am sure you will be the one in the white dress" Jan Di said smiling playfully nudging her.
"Yeah, I hope so, it was actually funny because he told me that he had to think a lot about whether he was going to tell me because he was worried for my safety considering what happened to his mother and he told me to take some time to think about it and I took like a week just to make him suffer" she laughed.
"Oh My God! I remember that, Yi Jung would seriously ask me like every six hours where you were or if you had decided yet because he was probably talking to Woo Bin" Ga Eul said.
"I would not answer his calls on purpose and I know that he for sure sent Marco to make sure I was okay" Jae Kyung laughed out loud.
"They are all such liars" Jan Di said and they all looked at her, "When we first met them they were all tough and Casanovas and now look at who has them around their fingers".
They all shared a laugh.
"Oh by the way I have something to tell you guys" Jan Di said.
"What's up?" Jae Kyung said touching up her make up in the mirror after she had tears in her eyes from laughing.
"So I went to the doctor's today because I had been feeling a bit under the weather and he said that" Jan Di stopped tearing up and Ga Eul and Jae Kyung kneeled down in front of her.
"Is everything okay sweetie?" Jae Kyung asked.
Jan Di nodded and smiled saying,
"He said that I am pregnant" she smiled brightly wiping away her tears.
"Oh My God!" Jae Kyung shouted out loud, "I am so happy for you" she hugged Jan Di and Ga Eul did the same.
"Have you told Jun Pyo?" Ga Eul asked.
"No" Jan Di chucked, "I figure I would tell you guys first".
"Aww, yey" Jae Kyung said when there was a knock on the door, "Don't come in!" Jae Kyung yelled.
"Seriously these men and their hormones!" Jae Kyung said heading for the door, "They can't just wait a couple of minutes until the wedding starts?"
She slid passed the door being careful not to open it and reveal Ga Eul just in case it was Yi Jung behind the door. When she turned around she smiled when she saw Woo Bin.
"Are you okay?" he asked taking her hands in his.
"Yeah fine why?" she asked.
"Because you were shouting?" he said.
"Oh that" she said and she smirked a bit thinking it would be funny if she freaked him out a bit, "Well Jan Di told me that she saw you with some other girl a few days ago" she said letting go of his hands and facing away from him in a dramatic fashion but she smiled.
"What?" he asked alarmed grabbing her arms but she did not want to turn around because she was laughing.
"Yeah she said you were all over the girl and I just" she paused for dramatic affect but mostly because she did not want to burst out laughing.
"I swear I did not do anything, I would never do that to you" he said his voice cracking.
"I know" she said turning around and laughing, "I was just kidding but I swear if you had said that you did something" she said narrowing her eyes.
"Oh I see so now you have jokes" he said taking her by the waist and pushing her against the wall.
"Yeah" she smiled wrapping her hands around his neck.
"You know you have been doing a lot of bad things lately like making me suffer for a week before you finally agreed to be my girlfriend" he said looking at her.
"Oh please, that was two months ago, stop holding a grudge" she said pouting.
"It's okay I will get back at you" he said smiling seductively and lowering his lips on hers. She welcomed his lips and let out a soft moan as he aggressively kissed her lips and ran his hands down her body. They finally parted when they ran out of breath and he kissed her neck.
"Woo Bin stop, somebody could walk by" she said giggling.
"So?" he asked in between kisses before finding her lips again and wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her towards his body.
"You are being very inappropriate right now" she said when they parted.
"Trust me there are a lot of other inappropriate things I wish I could do to you right now" he winked at her as her let go of her waist hearing the door open and Jan Di'd head popped out.
"You!" she said looking at Woo Bin, "Stop with your indecencies and go make sure everybody is ready" she said pulling Jae Kyung back into the room and shutting the door.
….
Yi Jung's breath caught in his chest when he saw Ga Eul walking down the aisle. She looked more stunning than ever accompanied by both of her fathers she finally reached him and he took her hand never wanting to let go. After a beautiful ceremony and they were announced husband and wife, Yi Jung kissed his wife deeply and only stopped when Woo Bin whispered,
"Alright, you already made the kid".
Jun Pyo and Ji Hoo laughed and Yi Jung could not help but laugh as well.
Soon they all went to the large outdoor white tent that had been set up for the reception. Inside the tent was a vision of pink and white. There were two large chandeliers handing inside and white lantern lights around the tent. There were only ten round tables along with the large bridal party table inside of the tent since Ga Eul wanted a small wedding. The large wooden dance floor was in the middle of the tent and soft candle lights adorned each table along with beautiful fresh flowers.
After their magical first dance Ga Eul and Yi Jung took a seat at their table when they heard Jun Pyo yelling in excitement.
"Can you believe it?" he asked them all walking to the bridal party table, "Jan Di is pregnant" he announced excitedly.
"No I really can't believe it" Woo Bin laughed and he earned a punch in the arm form Jun Pyo.
"Congratulations" Yi Jung said and they all proceeded to congratulate them.
"Now we will have a mini Jun Pyo and Yi Jung" Ji Hoo said and they all laughed.
"Oh God, it's like the F4 all over again" Jae Kyung said leaning on Woo Bin as he wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Except for they might both be girls" Ga Eul said.
"They better be, I don't think the world can handle another kid with Jun Pyo's hair style" Woo Bin laughed and they all did as well including Jun Pyo.
"Well I promised a lovely lady a dance" Ji Hoo said and they all looked at him as he walked towards So Yun.
"Isn't that the girl who teaches with you at the school?" Yi Jung asked.
"Yeah So Yun is a really nice girl, she just has not really had the best luck with guys" Ga Eul said smiling as she saw Ji Hoo and So Yun dancing.
"Well well, looks like Ji Hoo found a cute little school teacher too" Jun Pyo said smiling, "Come on woman, let's dance" he held out his hand for Jan Di and she took it and let him lead her to the dance floor.
"Can I have this dance?" Woo Bin asked Jae Kyung.
"Hmm, I don't know" she said smiling.
"Come on" he said leading her to the dance floor still holding on to her waist.
"Well, if it isn't the happy couple" Hyun Su said shaking Yi Jung's hand.
"Ga Eul, this is Hyun So, my childhood friend and also the one who said I did not look good with my ex" Yi Jung said introduction them.
"Oh so this is your brilliant friend" she said smiling as he kissed her hand.
"That's me" he said, "And I must say this is a pairing I can agree with, you did good my friend" he smiled.
"Well thank you" Yi Jung said, "I am a lucky man".
"You are, congratulation to the two of you" Hyun Su said.
"Thank you" they both said.
Hyun Su nodded as he left them walking towards the bar.
Soon enough people had sat down to take a break from dancing and Woo Bin figured now was a good a time as any to make his best man speech. He stood up and clicked a knife against his champagne glass. Everybody stopped and looked in his direction.
"I figured I should make my best man's speech so here goes" he said, "I have known Yi Jung since before we had time to figure out who we were ourselves so it's safe to say that I know him better than he knows himself. Maybe that is why it took him a little more time to figure out that he was very much in love with that lovely lady sitting next to him now. In fact it pretty much took him punching me in the face to realize that" Woo Bin paused, "Or maybe he just wanted to punch me to get back at me for all those times I beat him at anything we competed in".
The room erupted into laugher and Woo Bin chuckled a little before continuing.
"I knew all along that this little rascal I call my brother had a great heart but I guess it took the biggest heart of all to show him that. Ga Eul I have never met anybody as kind hearted as you or anybody that has ever loved Yi Jung more and I feel honored to have you be part of our family. Now I am making their love seem easy to all of you but as some people in this room know it was not the easiest road to getting here today but I guess if the right person comes along it's all worth it. Here is too the bridge and groom" Woo Bin raised his glass, "May they have an eternity of happiness".
They all toasted and clapped for Woo Bin's speech. Jae Kyung wrapped her arm around Woo Bin's as soon as he sat down and she leaned her head on his shoulder.
"That was beautiful" Jae Kyung said.
"Are you getting sentimental?" he teased her.
"No" she said picking her head up but he gave her a quick kiss on the lips and she smiled.
The party resumed and everybody enjoyed a slow dance. Woo Bin went up to Ga Eul who was talking to a few guests and said,
"Excuse me miss, can I have a dance?"
"Of course" she smiled as he led her to the dance floor.
"That was a very nice speech, thank you" she said smiling as she looked up at him.
"I was only saying the truth" he said but he smiled as well, "And you doubted me" he said chuckling.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"You said that I was wrong when I said that he loved you" Woo Bin said, "And look at you now Mrs. So".
"I know I should not have doubted you Mr. Song" she laughed, "But you lied to me too".
"How so?" he asked.
"You said love was not for you and look at you now, wrapped around a princess's finger" Ga Eul said smiling.
"Please! I would not say I am wrapped as Yi Jung" he said laughing.
"Hey" she said, "You better not do anything stupid or I will hurt you myself".
"I know and I won't I promise but same goes to you, now that you have him wrapped around your finger I know he won't do anything" Woo Bin said smiling.
"Thanks for everything Woo Bin" she smiled as the song ended and the next one started.
"No problem" he smiled as Yi Jung walked towards them.
"May I cut in?" Yi Jung asked.
"Only if you promise not to do anything scandalous on the dance floor" Woo Bin said laughing.
"Very funny" Yi Jung said taking Ga Eul into his arms.
"Have fun kids" Woo Bin said walking away from them.
Ga Eul rested her head on Yi Jung's chest as they danced across the dance floor.
"When we met did you ever think that we would end up here?" she asked him.
"Not really" he said, "I know that is probably not want you want to hear. Good girls like good guys who say that it was love at first sight".
"You really have to get the idea that good girls like good guys out of your head" she smiled at him, "Besides I never thought we would end up here either".
"I must have done something really honorable in my past life to deserve you in this one" he said and her heart skipped a beat when he gently kissed her on the lips.
"No, I think you did something honorable in this life" she said when they parted.
"Like what?" he asked.
"The fact that you finally allowed yourself to love somebody is pretty honorable" she said.
"Yeah but it's not like I did anything to help out somebody else, even allowing myself to love is for myself, it's selfish" he said.
"I don't know about that, you make me pretty happy and you are going to have a beautiful baby girl soon who is going to want her dad to be her protector and role model so you have plenty of chances to be honorable" she said.
"What if I am like my father? What if I am not a good father either?" he asked but she put her finger over his lips and said,
"You will be a great father and I will be here with you every step of the way besides are you backing up now? You said you wanted 12 kids" she teased him.
"That is very true" he smiled drawing her into his arms, "Thank you" he said.
"For what?" she looked up at him.
"For showing me what love really is" he said and she stood there for a second before standing up on her tip toes and gave him a quick kiss.
"I love you" she said.
"I love you too" he said.
They danced in the same spot for a couple of minutes stuck in their own little world. A world of love that neither of them had really known before but they both knew it was the beginning of a wonderful modern fairytale.
The End
