Chapter 3! It's been a while since I've written anything so I am happy that I can do this now. I recently started reading another BOF ff that I really recommend to those that haven't found it yet. It's called 'The Gift Of Autumn' and it is really really good. I had a similar idea for a fic in mind but seeing as the writer has already started posting it, I won't write it. Definitely not since her story is prob way better than anything I could've come up with.

This chapter will be a little bit of insight into the Nigari/Ga Eul pairing. Don't worry! This is a SoEul fic but right now, I want to give Nigari a little bit of background.

Anyway, enjoy!


Woo Bin's father announced that Nigari would be landing at Incheon soon and offered to have men pick him up. I, instead, asked if I could use on of the cars to pick him up myself because if I knew him like I thought I did, Nigari would not be getting into a car with no one unless he knew them. Not even men who identified themselves as allies or men who had been sent by allies.

"You can take my car, if you want? Chan Wook just texted me that there is some trouble at one of my clubs so I really need to go there, it's on your way to the airport so you can drop me off on the way." Woo Bin offered.

I nodded, "If you're sure."

"Of course." He stood up and led me to the garage where he showed me his collection of cars, I'd only seen his yellow Lotus so far but apparently he also owned an SUV, an Audi and two other sports cars of which I could not see the brand. "You do have your drivers licence, right?"

I rolled my eyes as I took his keys, "I would not be asking to drive one of your cars if I did not have my licence, Sunbae. I don't want to have to pay a fine on top of the gas that I'm about to waste."

"You don't have to pay for that, Ga Eul." Woo Bin said, getting into the passenger's seat and quickly buckling in. "It's hardly a cost for me and I know you can use all the money you have." The garage door opened and I immediately sped out, having to come to an abrupt halt in front of the gates. "Who taught you how to drive a car?"

"Take a guess." I dared before once again pressing down the gas pedal almost entirely to the floor and speeding onto the street.

He huffed, "I don't know what frightens me more? The fact that you can act so innocent despite everything that happened to you and who you associate with or the fact that I actually believed it."

"Sunbae, it's not because I don't like to hear about your adventures in the bedroom or how you describe women, that I am innocent. It's just that when I was used, my rapist also used such terms on me. I was just a 'good pussy' or I had 'nice, firm tits'... The words you and Yi Jeong Sunbae use for women. It brings me back to that day sometimes." I laughed, "When Nigari is here and you hear some of our conversations, you'll be surprised just what we talk about."

"It's been a long time since I've seen Nigari. I think the last time was about three years ago. He had only recently joined the ranks but he already had made quite the reputation for himself."

"That's because he doesn't think twice about stepping in front of a bullet for those he loves. He also wouldn't think twice about pulling a trigger for those he loves... he can sometimes be a little triggerhappy, if you know what I mean." A fond smile came to my face, "I know I should not be happy about it but the day he found me with that man, Noshimuro ordered his men to take that man to one of the warehouses. Only later would I hear what significance it held for him to order the man to be brought to Warehouse 5."

"5?" Woo Bin nearly shouted, "That's the most exclusive warehouse, no one has ever left that place alive. Everyone knows it's where the Boss handles his personal stuff."

I nodded, "I didn't know back then but Noshimuro looked at Nigari like he was a second son and therefor, I was like a daughter. He touched me and that's why he had to pay. I always thought that he took care of it himself but that's not true at all, like I told you earlier. Nigari is the one who took care of that bastard, I only found out about that a couple months ago."

"Why did you two even break up? You still seem so in love. I know you said that you haven't been for a while now but still, you clearly adore him."

"I met Nigari as an 8 year old by chance. My parents wanted to go to Japan for a holiday and couldn't leave me behind so they had to take me with them. It was fine for a day but then they lost me in a crowd and didn't even notice until hours later, when I had already been brought to the police. It had been Nigari and Hiroto who had noticed me on my own that day and had taken me to Hiroto's father, who took me into his home and fed me before taking me to the police station. He didn't leave my side until my parents arrived, about an hour after they'd been called by the police. Nigari as well had stayed by my side and distracted me while Noshimuro talked to my parents about responsibility and all that."

"How did you keep in contact?"

"Noshimuro soon noticed that my parents had no intention on keeping an eye on me and so he told them that he would take care of me until we went back home. It was really irresponsible for them to agree, even if it had only been Noshimuro who was the one offering. Who knows what kind of a person he could have been, neither they nor I really knew him. In the end my parents did agree to it and I went back with Nigari and Noshimuro. Despite there being an age gap, language barrier and of course gender differences, the three of us had a lot of fun that summer and after my trip there, I kept in touch with all of them. I got Japanese classes, they learned Korean, there was more communication and that was how we kept in touch for a long time. When I was 10, Noshimuro himself sent me a plane ticket to come to Japan for the summer. Mom was happy to be rid of me and so I was sent on my way as soon as school ended. I was picked up at the airport by Noshimuro, Hiroto and of course Nigari. I started noticing boys, you know? Nigari... He was everything a girl wanted at that age." I rolled my eyes, "He was a bit older, had a nice hair cut, was tough and of course, handsome. Our babies would have been perfect, or so I thought back then."

"How old was he then?"

"Still 12, about to turn 13. It's the reason we did not do anything alone together but after a while, it was too hard to ignore. Instead of the distance diminishing our feelings, they grew stronger. At 12, I know that our love was special. It was more than just a silly crush that so many others of my age had. Ours was real love and it truly was. He took me on my first date here in Korea, came over during one of his breaks with Noshimuro and Hiroto. The old man had given Nigari a bit of money to spoil me. His idea of spoiling me back then, at 14 years age for him, was taking me to a McDonalds and letting me choose freely what to eat. It was fun though and that was all that really mattered to me."

"The two of you... It sounds like a fairytale."

"It was." I agreed, "Our very own fairytale. Sadly, we were not meant to be. We split up when I was 17, 5 years after we started our relationship. It wasn't really the distance or having feelings for someone else... We just grew apart. Many people who know us, think we had a bad break up but they could not be more wrong. Our break was clean and we both wanted it. Nigari even asked for my permission to start dating a new girl. She did not last long, mind you, but still... it was nice that he thought of me and didn't just let me find out through Hiroto or something."

"I heard he has been creating a reputation for himself." Woo Bin carefully said, "I heard rumors that he could rival even me and Yi Jeong."

I nodded, "Yeah. He has become somewhat of a Cas- No, you're the Don Juan, right? Okay, he has become a Don Juan, I am not going to lie. He has many bedpartners these days, I don't blame him for that. I kept him from that for a long time."

"Chu Ga Eul?" I hummed, "I think you could possibly be the coolest ex-girlfriend anyone could ever have. Nigari is lucky to have you and I am lucky to have you as a friend."

"I am the lucky one, Woo Bin Sunbae. Not everyone would've stopped what they were doing to take me to their home and take care of me. You could've just left me standing there." I smiled as I pulled up in front of the club, Yi Jeong already waiting in the front for him, "Thank you, Sunbae. Send me a text later when you want to go home, I'll come pick you up."

"Y-"

"I won't be sleeping, don't worry." I smiled, "Nigari is going to be too wound up to sleep and his crankiness will probably keep me up as well. I'll probably only be able to sleep tomorrow. Now go, Yi Jeong is waiting for you."

"Yes ma'am." He teased. He got out and then leaned down, looking at me, "I am really proud of you, Ga Eul."

"Thanks, Sunbae." I smiled, "Have fun. But not too much, I don't like the smell of puke in a car."

He laughed, "See you later, Ga Eul!"

With that, he closed the door and let me speed off again.
