Chapter 37.
-What do you mean she is gone?- Yi Jung asked Woo Bin as soon as he got to Ga Eul's apartment building. Woo Bin took out a piece of paper and gave it to Yi Jung, it was a letter for Yi Jung that Ga Eul had left by the front door. Yi Jung opened the paper and started to read:
"Yi Jung, you came? Why would you come if I am not here anymore?
I am sorry for everything Yi Jung, for giving up on our love like this
But it's for the best. Take care of yourself Yi Jung and I will too. Don't
Worry about me, please. I will be okay, don't come looking for me because
You won't be able to find me. Goodbye Yi Jung."
Yi Jung squished the paper and he punched the door out of anger. Woo Bin was surprise to Yi Jung's actions. –Yi Jung, calm down we will find her.-Woo Bin said.
-What were you doing here anyways?-Yi Jung asked.
-I came to talk to Ga Eul about a way to help her with your grandfather and that's when I found that letter.- Woo Bin said.
-Please, help me. Help me find Ga Eul and my child.-Yi Jung said. Woo Bin placed his hand on Yi Jung's shoulder. –You can't on it. I will send some men to start searching and I will call the guys to help out.-Woo Bin said.
-Thanks.- Yi Jung was heading to his car. –Tell Jun Pyo to take Jan Di to the F4 lounge, she might know where Ga Eul could be and I will meet you there. –Yi Jung said and got inside his car and took off somewhere.
Yi Jung arrived at the Lee's mansion, as soon the maid opened the door he marched right inside.
-Excuse me but you can't go right inside!- The maid yelled. Yi Jung ignored her and then Hyeon Suk came out of nowhere and wanted to see what was going on. She was surprise to see Yi Jung at her house.
-Yi Jung, what are you doing here?-Hyeon Suk asked.
-Where is your brother?- Yi Jung asked.
-What do you want?- Tae Suk asked coming down from the stairs. Hyeon Suk looked confuse of why Yi Jung was looking for her brother. Yi Jung went up to Tae Suk and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
-Where is she?!-Yi Jung yelled. Tae Suk knew what he was talking about and let out a scoff.
-Get your hands off of me.-Tae Suk said calmly, Yi Jung still hanged onto his shirt.-Why are you asking me? How am I supposed to know where she went.-Tae Suk said.
-Don't play dumb with me! I know you know where she went! Tell me!-Yi Jung yelled and Tae Suk removed his hands from him.
-Shouldn't you know since you are her boyfriend! You should of least take care of her!- Tae Suk yelled. –Don't you get it? She left because of you! Now get out of my house since you came here like a maniac.
Yi Jung glared at him and turned to the door and walked out. Hyeon Suk was completely lost, Tae Suk was going up the stairs to his room. –Oppa, did Ga Eul leave?- Hyeon Suk asked him. Tae Suk ignored her and shut his door.
…
The F4 were in there lounge and with Jan Di. Woo Bin had some photos of Ga Eul leaving her house at night but that was about it.
-Do you have any idea where she could have gone?-Yi Jung asked Jan Di, she gave it some thought.
-She has this aunt that lives out in the country.-Jan Di said. –She one time invited me to go for vacation. But I don't she would go there because I would tell you guys and you guys will find her. I know Ga Eul and she is not that stupid.
-Then where could she have gone?!- Yi Jung yelled out of frustration.
-Calm down.-Ji Hoo said. –We will find her, she probably wouldn't go that far.
Yi Jung went to grab a drink and this time his friends let him. He was getting nervous of what could happen to Ga Eul and his child. Woo Bin was observing the pictures more he couldn't find anything. Jan Di started to cry because she wished she was with Ga Eul and wondered if Ga Eul is okay, she misses her best friend. Yi Jung's phone started to ring and it was his mother, she told him to come home quickly.
Yi Jung got to his house and went inside quickly, he saw his mom standing in the living room. He also his dad sitting on the couch, Hyun Sub was feeling much better. But they weren't alone they had visitors and he knew those visitors, it was Hyeon Suk's parents. Ho Sook noticed Yi Jung come in and she quickly went up to him.
-What is all this?- Yi Jung asked. Ho Sook didn't answer him and she just pulled him into the living room, he bowed his to the Lee's.
-Mother-in-law everything is ready.-Hyeon Suk said coming out of the dining room. Yi Jung looked confuse to see Hyeon Suk here. –Oh honey, you are here.- Hyeon Suk said in a sweet voice and she hugged Yi Jung's arm.
-I see you two are getting along more.- Mr. Lee said. –It is very nice to see young couple getting along these days, don't you think ?
-Ah of course.-Hyun Sub said softly. Ho Sook pulled away Yi Jung from Hyeon Suk and she grabbed Yi Jung's face. –But you see my son has this face that all young girls fall for, I think that's going to be a problem.-Ho Sook said.
-I don't think that will be a problem my daughter could handle all those young girls.-Mrs. Lee said. –Isn't that right Hyeon Suk?
Hyeon Suk nodded her head. –Should we go in and eat, I prepared everything by myself.- Hyeon Suk said. –Or should we still wait for Grandfather So?
-There is no need to, I am already here.- Grandfather So said coming inside. Everyone bowed their heads to him, Yi Jung knew what this was it was a parent meeting with both parents, planned by grandpa.
-Everyone please go inside, I will catch up right now.-Grandfather So said. –But Yi Jung I need you to meet me outside.
Everyone went inside the dining room and both Yi Jung and Grandfather So went into the garden to talk.
-I heard that Ga Eul left.-Grandfather So said.
-I bet you are happy about it.-Yi Jung said.
-Perhaps, but now that she is gone. Your mother came by today and she started yelling at me of how cruel I am and that you started saying nonsense about you getting married to Lee Hyeon Suk, so I will take that you finally agree. I don't want you to ruin this for me so you better be in your best behavior. -He warned and went inside before Yi Jung could say something. Yi Jung let out a big sigh, he went inside. Both families were talking about the marriage while they were eating, Yi Jung didn't say a word unless they asked him question but he would only give short answers. Grandfather So didn't mind as long as he answered.
As time passed by, the adults told the kids to walk outside for a bit while the adults talk about their wedding. Yi Jung and Hyeon Suk were walking around the garden in the backyard. It was quite since Yi Jung was still thinking about Ga Eul of where she could be.
-It's a beautiful night.-Hyeon Suk said starting a conversation. Yi Jung looked up at the sky and saw the stars. –Yi Jung lets be happy together.
-Happy? My happiness left and I don't think I will be happy again.-Yi Jung said.
-Why do you still think about her? She left, she is gone forever. It was for the best Yi Jung or else she could have been more hurt by your grandfather. –Hyeon Suk said.
-Listen, if we get married I won't touch you or have a kid with you. I will probably be drinking every day and be hanging around with different kinds of woman. I will be the Casanova I use to be, what are your friends going to think? I am only going to be an embarrassment for you.-Yi Jung said.
-I don't care as long as you are my husband.-Hyeon Suk said. Yi Jung let out a laugh and ruffled her hair. –We will see about that.-Yi Jung said and left her behind. Hyeon Suk was very angry and it really got to her of what Yi Jung told her of him not going to have a child with her.
…
A week passed and they still couldn't find Ga Eul. Yi Jung was at his engagement party it was today, he really didn't want to be here but Grandfather So sent some security guards to make sure he go there before he would leave somewhere else. There were so many people at the party, the party was at some hotel salon. Hyeon Suk was in a pretty dress and she was talking to many people and bragging about how Yi Jung is going to be her husband. Yi Jung didnt invite his friends because it was a waste of time for them, he was by the bar and he kept on drinking. Drink after drink, he kept on drinking throughout the whole party; he didn't care if everybody were staring besides that's how he was going to be anyways. Yi Jung kept on drinking and suddenly he became very drunk, his head started to feel dizzy. He put his head on the the counter, Grandfather So went up to him and patted his back. –What are you doing?-He asked. Yi Jung lifted up his head and looked at his grandfather and gave him a smile.-Grandpa, you were never like this. What happen to you?!-Yi Jung asked very drunk. –No matter what I still love you.-Yi Jung started to laugh. Grandfather So was getting embarrass because of Yi Jung but people weren't staring as much.
-Stop saying nonsense.-Grandfather So called one of his guards, he quickly came to him.-Take him inside a room and leave him there.
The guard did as he was told, he put Yi Jung's arm around his neck and took him. As they got to the room, the guard put Yi Jung on the bed and he left them there. Yi Jung was hugging a pillow; the room was dark because it was already night time. Slowly the door opened and a woman went inside and went to Yi Jung's side and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Yi Jung smelled a familiar perfume as Ga Eul.
-Ga Eul.-Yi Jung said, he pulled her closer to him and he started kissing her. Yi Jung tried to look at her face but he couldn't because it was too dark. He knows it was her. –I missed you.-Yi Jung said still drunk. He started to feel her lips on Yi Jung's neck and he too started to smell her hair and it was the same as Ga Eul. They both started to kiss each other and so through the night.
Yi Jung woke up and his head was hurting. He notice he was naked, he couldn't remember anything from last night but he thought that he was playing with some girl. He heard someone opening the bathroom door and he turn to see who it was, he then was surprise to see who it was, it was Hyeon Suk coming out with a towel on.
…
Ga Eul was waiting in someone's office; they had called her to come in for an interview. She was in a building of the most famous brand in Korea, she didn't know why they wanted to see her for since she never applied to any of these stuff. Finally an old woman walked inside at her desk facing Ga Eul. Ga Eul stood up and bowed at her.
-Sit down.- The old woman said. –Do you know why we called you here?
-No.-Ga Eul said.
-Well I will be happy to tell you why? I saw you walking by my build a few days ago and let me tell you that you have a face of a model. I want you to work for me, to become a model for the business. You will be modeling my clothes and be walking in the runways shows, so what do you say? –The old woman asked.
-Excuse me, but I don't think I will be able to do it.-Ga Eul said.
-Why it's not like if you are pregnant.-She said laughing. Ga Eul just smiled at her. The old woman looked at her seriously.-Are you?
Ga Eul nodded her head. –So that is why I can't do it. Sorry.-Ga Eul said as she stood up and bowed her head, she turned toward the door.
-Fine! I won't risk losing someone like you, I feel like you will do a great job to my company.-The old woman said as she stood up and went up to Ga Eul. The old woman put her hands on Ga Eul's shoulder. –What do you say? This is a great opportunity for you and that baby. I know you are living in an old place and its not pretty, so if you work for me you could be living at a better place. I did a background check on you and I know that you are single.- The old woman said. Ga Eul smiled at her, she knew that this was a great opportunity for her since she hasn't found a job yet because she quit of being a teacher. Ga Eul nodded her head and accepted. The old woman was very caring for her, and was very happy that Ga Eul was going to work.
-Thank you.-Ga Eul said.
-Ani. Thank you, I will treat as my daughter. My name is Park Hyo Ri , but I want you to call me mom because that's the way the models call me.-She said.
-Okay, mom.- Ga Eul said happily.
-This is going to be a big start for you, Ga Eul. Let's go grab lunch, it's my treat. And let's talk about each other.-Hyo Ri said.
