A/N: this is an incredibly short chapter, the shortest one so far, but I didn't want to stick it onto that last chapter. Make sure you read chapter 35 first, since I posted that at the same time as this one. Ps: "Gijibae" is a bad term for a girl in Korean.

Chapter 36: Gijibae

They took a limousine to the village part of the island where all of the shopping happened. Here, the locals shared their crafts, jewelry, and handmade clothes, and more expensive shops took up another part of the shopping center further from the beach.

The girls shopped with ease, looking at all the different things they could buy, modeling happily, and picking out things that would compliment each other. Even Hye Rim had a smile on her face as she modeled island jewelry and looked at dresses that were perfect for the beach.

Sun Hi wanted to be liked by Hye Rim, but Hye Rim ignored her the most. They were closer in age, but as far as Hye Rim was concerned, Sun Hi was the lowest of the low. At least that's what Sun Hi felt whenever she was near the girl.

Sun Hi bought a necklace for herself and for her aunt and a hat to wear to the beach and pool. She wanted a dress, but did not have enough money. Although her trip was paid for by Gu Jun Pyo, souvenirs were not. Hye Rim on the other hand seemed to buy anything she picked up.

While they shopped, Jan Di and Ga Eul began talking about their men and how busy the season had been for their work.

"Yi Jeong sunbae's buyers receive more of his attention than I do these days," Ga Eul was saying.

"You don't have to call him sunbae anymore," Hye Rim drawled. "He's your boyfriend."

Ga Eul smiled timidly. "Oh, it's kind of like a nickname now. Calling the F4 our sunbaes."

"Do you really think they're that superior?" Hye Rim continued. "Not even oppa, but sunbae? That's more like being someone's toy rather than their girlfriend."

Now Ga Eul frowned in thought. Jan Di came to her rescue. "Yi Jeong has been done with toys for a long time. He does nothing but respect Ga Eul."

Sun Hi, uncomfortable, decided to change the subject. "Should I get something for Dr. Yoon? I want to show him I'm grateful that he brought me," she asked her unnies, holding up a loud island themed shirt.

Hye Rim laughed exasperatedly. "Sunbae? Dr. Yoon? No wonder they like girls like you."

It came out cruel no matter how she had meant it. Jan Di nor Ga Eul could hide their annoyance. "Gijibae," Ga Eul muttered under her breath.

"You don't have to whisper it. I consider it a compliment," said Hye Rim boldly, tossing a new handbag over her shoulder and moving on into the next aisle.

"Sorry!" Ga Eul cried out, but Hye Rim made no acknowledgement of it.

Jan Di looked at Ga Eul waiting for an explanation. Ga Eul sighed. "It slipped. When she said that, it reminded me of how it used to be, when I first started dating Yi Jeong sunbae."

Sun Hi solemnly hung up her shirt that she had picked out for Ji Hoo back on the rack. She could not afford that either.

Despite the awkwardness, the girls continued shopping for most of the afternoon and had lunch at a cute café. Hye Rim did not do much talking, but that did not stop men from flirting with her or doing double takes as they walked past her, some men even with their families. It was hard to read her now. She had put back on her large, dark sunglasses, and Sun Hi could make out no facial expressions when she told the unnies a joke something funny was said.

After lunch, the girls returned back to the resort to find the boys on the beach. Jun Pyo, in comfortable beach clothes, and Yi Jeong were playing with a volleyball while Ji Hoo slept in the shade and Woo Bin rested with his hat over his face.

When they approached, Ji Hoo shifted himself awake. Sun Hi saw him glance down at the one small bag in her hand compared to the several bags the other girls carried. Feeling like her poorness was exposed, she held the small bag behind her back, and Ji Hoo, seeming to understand, focused on something else.

"Oppa, look at all of the cute stuff you bought me today," Hye Rim exclaimed in mock happiness, dropping her shopping bags onto Woo Bin's chest.

"What do you mean? What's all of this?" he asked lazily, observing the bags.

"I thought you'd want to see what you purchased for your pretty fiancée".

A look of recognition crossed Woo Bin's face. He sat up quickly and began flipping through his wallet. "You stole my credit card!" He shouted.

"You're my fiancé. We should start sharing everything," replied Hye Rim indignant.

"You have your own money! Princess Im."

"So treat me as such," Hye Rim's eyes flashed dangerously. "After all, you forced me on this vacation, Prince Song."

She frisbeed the card back to him, then slid her sunglasses on. "I'll leave first."

Hye Rim stormed off, leaving the F4 and the girls looking at Woo Bin. One by one, they all began to laugh.

Jun Pyo patted him on the shoulder heartily. "Maybe I will like her."
