Chapter 28: Breaking the Rules

Later that night, Yi Jung drove Ga Eul back home. Both are having difficulty to look into each other's eyes because of what just happened. Yi Jung pulled his car in front of Ga Eul's and as usual, he opened the door for her. Ga Eul got out of his car and headed straight towards the gate of her house when Yi Jung pulled her arm.

"Aren't you say going good night to me, at least?" he asked.

Ga Eul gave him a smile and softly said, "Good night Sunbae." without looking at him directly in the eyes.

Before Yi Jung let go of Ga Eul's arm, he took a step closer to her and kissed her, on the cheek, a good night kiss. "Good night Ga Eul- yang. Have a sweet dream." As he let go of her arm, Yi Jung flashed his dimpled smile.

Inside her room, Ga Eul can't get the thoughts of what happened tonight off her head. The things were just too far from reality but they really happened. It was as if her dreams finally came true. She was tossing and turning on her bed because she can't fall asleep. The things ran through her head over and over again. She can't get enough of those thoughts!

"Aish Sunbae!" she said in a low voice so that her parents can't hear her. "I can't have sweet dreams. I can't even sleep!"

But then, after thinking all that happened tonight, something occurred to her. 'He did kiss me. I saw the sincerity in his eyes. But, he didn't tell me what he feels. What that does kiss mean?'

The next morning, Yi Jung woke up with a smile on his face. Even while sleeping, he imagined Ga Eul's face and reaction as he kissed her last night. He could still feel her lips on his and the thought of it just makes him smile more. Today, he'll make things clear with her.

He dialed her phone number. After a few rings, Ga Eul answered the phone. "Hello? Who is this?" Ga Eul asked with a sleepy tone.

"Ga Eul- yang." Yi Jung said. "Good morning."

On the other line, Ga Eul sat up straight on her bed as she heard Yi Jung's voice. "Sunbae."

"Are you free today?" he asked.

"Uh. Well. I've got to go to work today in the porridge shop. Aside from that, I'm free."

"When will you finish?" Yi Jung inquired.

"At seven PM." Ga Eul answered.

"Okay. I'll pick you up. Wait for me." And with that, Yi Jung hang up.

c,")

It was ten minutes before seven when Yi Jung arrived at the porridge shop. He patiently waited until 7 o' clock came. At the moment his watch ticked to seven, Ga Eul came out of the porridge shop, looking for Yi Jung. He stepped out of his car, and walked towards the girl with her favorite yellow coat on.

"Shall we go?" he offered his hand to her.

Ga Eul nodded and placed her hand on top of his. They walked towards his car and as usual, Yi Jung opened the door for her.

"Where are we going?" Ga Eul asked as soon as Yi Jung got inside.

"Somewhere." He flashed his dimpled smile to her.

The drive took almost an hour. It was a silent drive except that Mozart's classical pieces were playing in Yi Jung's stereo. Yi Jung pulled his car and when Ga Eul peered out of the window, he saw the playground they went before.

"Sunbae. It's already evening. What are we doing here?"

"I just want to be in my comfort zone when I tell you something important." He announced. "Let's play for a while."

Yi Jung walked towards the one and only swing in that playground. Ga Eul followed her and took her seat beside him.

"What is it?" Ga Eul asked, very eager to hear what Yi Jung was about to say.

"I'll tell you that later Ga Eul- yang. Just be patient, araso?"

Ga Eul nodded. She can't do anything but to agree to what Yi Jung said, if not, there's a chance that she won't hear it.

"You know that this is my comfort zone, right?" Yi Jung asked him and Ga Eul nodded to answer his question. "I've always loved this place and regarded this as a sentimental and valuable place. When I have something important to tell someone and I find it hard to tell it, I always bring that person here so that somehow, I'll have the courage to tell it."

"What you're going to say must be something really important." Ga Eul commented.

"When dating a girl, I have three rules to follow. First, I don't date nice girls. Second, I don't date foolish girls. And third, I don't mess up with girls connected with my friends. You know that you fall under these three rules, right?"

"Yes." Ga Eul answered. 'Was he telling me that he didn't mean to do what he did last night? That last night was nothing for him?'

"Ga Eul- yang." He softly said her name. "The date we had when we took revenge is a fake one, right?"

"Yes." She answered.

"So, I haven't had a real date with you, right?"

"Yes."

"And that means I haven't broken my rules yet, right?"

"Yes."

"And I telling my mother and your parents that we're together is all an act, right? It's not real, isn't it?"

"Yes. Sunbae, what are you trying to tell me?" she asked from him.

"Just keep answering my questions, okay?"

"Okay." Ga Eul replied.

"But even though all these things are fake, what happened last night was real? Am I right?"

"Well… Uhmmm." Ga Eul was hesitant to answer this question. She knows it's real for her but she doesn't if he thinks the same way.

"What is it for you Ga Eul- yang? The thing that happened last night, was it real? Or was it fake?"

"For me, it's real." She answered honestly.

"Then from now on," Yi Jung got up from the swing and knelt in front of Ga Eul, "Let's make things real." Ga Eul was about to say something when Yi Jung put his index finger on her lips. He continued, "I'm not going to make you read between the lines now and make you do assumptions for it seems to me that you're not really good at those. I'm going straight to the point now, Ga Eul- yang. I've mentioned my rules to you a while ago. I promised myself that I won't break those rules in dating, but here I am, in front of you, saying that I'm willing to break those just for you to date me. I am here, kneeling in front of you, asking, will you go out with me, Ga Eul- yang?"

"Sunbae." She softly said. She saw Yi Jung's sincerity in his eyes.

"Don't ask me if you heard me right. I like you Ga Eul- yang. May I know your answer?"

She smiled at him. Ga Eul can't still believe that she heard those words come out from his mouth. She slowly bent down to his level and hugged him. "Yes." She answered with a wide smile on her face.

As Ga Eul said those words, Yi Jung snapped his fingers and with that, the playground grew to life. Christmas lights were brought to life, even though it was moths away before Christmas. A sweet song began to play as Yi Jung and Ga Eul stood up. In the middle of the playground, the two swayed with the music, with Yi Jung holding Ga Eul's waist tightly and Ga Eul's arms wrapped around his neck.

"It's exclusive. Promise me you'll not date anyone else." Yi Jung said.

"I don't think I should be the one promising that. You should be. You're the Casanova."

"I'm not one anymore. I'm a tamed Casanova now. And it's because of you, my Ga Eul."
