Ga Eul wakes up, early morning. She was used to waking up at this time. Especially being on the new mattress, that was so comfortable, she wished she could have slept longer. Force of habit she thought, she woke up earlier than she wished to. Freshening up, Ga Eul looks in her suitcase, that she brought along and finds some decent clothes. Finding, a white dress with prints of flowers all over, Ga Eul decides to put it on. It fitted her well. Complementing her body, it was perfect. She recalls back to who gifted her the dress and couldn't help, but smile to herself. Sighing deeply, she begins to make her way out the room and down the stairs. An excited mother coming her way happily greeted her. Mrs. So`s smile grew as Ga Eul was in her sight.

"Ga Eul, you didn't have to get up so early, you should still rest." Ga Eul nodded and smiled back.

"No thank you, I am actually fully rested, I don't sleep that late."

"Are you sure?" Mrs. So confirmed with a questionable face. Ga Eul smiled answering, her question.

"Ok then, how was last night, he didn`t say anything to you did he?" Mrs. So investigated raising her eyebrows and crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"No. But I think he might be mad at me." Finishing up her sentence, Ga Eul frowns recalling her bold action last night.

"Why?"

Sighing deeply, words leave Ga Eul mouth."I pushed him out of his room last night, and told him to go sleep in the guest room. I feel ashamed for doing that." Ga Eul looks down upon the clear, polished tile floor she stood on, being sad about what she did.

"Ga Eul don't be sad. You didn't do anything wrong. It is your room now too, so you can decide who stays and who doesn't." Mrs. So's words didn't seem to change Ga Eul's mood. "You know what? I know how you could change his mood." Ga Eul looks up to Mrs. So with a confused expression.

"You have to go wake him up. He usually gets up at this time. Today he hasn't, this is your chance to change his mood. Trust me."

Ga Eul shakes her head with fear. Ga Eul knew Yi Jung would even be angrier seeing her in front of him and this action could break the conditions they agreed to. But before Ga Eul could fight against what she was told to do, Mrs. So takes Ga Eul's arm and pulls her along. As their steps stop, they end up in front of the only guest room with the closed door.

Peaking inside, Mrs. So confirms Yi Jung on the bed, still sleeping. Before Ga Eul could debate about going into the room, Mrs. So opens the door and pushes Ga Eul inside and closes the door shut from behind.

Ga Eul tries to escape, but fails as Mrs. So continues to hold the door shut by the handle from outside. Ga Eul sighs deeply and turns back to the bed. Slowly she moves her steps forward. Walking up to the bed. She reaches her arm out to wake up her "husband."

Mrs. So knowing Ga Eul had no choice but to do as she said, a smile is to be found on her face as she makes her way to the kitchen away from the guest room.

Before she could even completely reach out to the figure, the person grabs her arm and pulls her towards him. Ga Eul opens her eyes from the instant motion, and finds herself underneath her husband. Yi Jung slowly opens his eyes. Seeing clearly who was in front of him, he rolls his eyes to what he sees.

"What are you doing here?" Yi Jung asked as he kept Ga Eul trapped between his arms.

"I...I… Mrs. So told me to come wake you up…"

"Thanks for ruining my day. First you make me sleep on this uneasy bed and then early morning I have to see your face." Yi Jung sits back on his bed and curses under his breath as he rubbed the back of his neck. Ga Eul slowly shifts herself up, now being let free. His words upset her very much, but it only made her angrier the more she thought about it.

"Yeah! You didn't have to pull me on to the bed. I was only planning to shake you up and leave. Why did you grab my arm-"

"I thought you were someone else…" Ga Eul froze in place, not that she cared but knowing your husband has been awoken by someone else and this is how he would behave with them, Ga Eul`s heart broke into pieces and a tear could be felt making its way down her cheek. Yi Jung had faced the other way; luckily he didn't see her cry. Even if he did he wouldn't have cared. Ga Eul instantly heads for the door, before her tears begin to burst. Soon as she was near the door Yi Jung`s voice made her stop.

"You broke one of my conditions. I told you we won't be interfering with each other`s life. But you already broke that condition, don`t think I will let you off the hook just like that." His heavy voice told Ga Eul he was serious to what he said. That`s where Yi Jung crossed the line. With all the despair she felt from his words, she built it up into anger and turned around and faced him.

"Yah! It is not my fault! Mrs. So is the one who forced me in here. I have no desire to waste my time and come wake you up!"

Yi Jung gets up from his bed and turns around to face a crying Ga Eul. She held up a strong face but her tears ruined it. Before Yi Jung could question to the image he saw, Ga Eul continued with even a louder tone, "You didn't even say anything about getting me back if I broke any of your conditions! So better not try to do anything! Also don't get dumb thoughts in your head, understand. I hate you! I hate you and always will!" With that Ga Eul marches out the room and slams the door shut. Yi Jung is left dumbfounded. Then a sudden smirk is to be found on his face, "interesting…"

Ga Eul stands outside the door and wipes her tears away, 'why am I crying for that jerk? He doesn't even care about me!' I shouldn't care about what he does or says. I will show him who I am!'

Wiping away the tears and making sure her face was dry and approachable, she heads to the kitchen. Where she finds an anxious mother waiting for her. Soon as Ga Eul was in her sight, she lit up with joy.

"So Ga Eul how did it go?" Ga Eul only smiled and nodded her head signaling off that everything went fine. Ga Eul was uneasy lying but it was better than telling Mrs. So the truth.

"Um... madam what shall I prepare today for master Yi Jung?" A maid cut into the conversation before Mrs. So could reply back to Ga Eul. Mrs. So thinks for a while and looks at Ga Eul with a grin. Ga Eul was confused, but before she could even think on what to ask, Mrs. So pushes Ga Eul further into the kitchen.


Yi Jung dressed neatly and pleasant, slowly makes his way down the stairs while positioning his dark blue tie and fixing his light blue coat`s sleeve. During his way down Yi Jung couldn't help, but continue to curse under his breath, due to the unwanted pain in his neck.

'Because of her I had to go back to my room get my clothes and get ready. Ugh so tiresome. I hate having to go back and forth especially with this neck pain from last night's sleep. This only makes me hate my mother and grandfather more for making me marry someone like her. I don't know how long I can take this and only one day has passed.' Continuing with his thoughts Yi Jung heads over to the dinner table knowing his breakfast must be ready for him. Which it was, luckily, because if it weren't it would have only made Yi Jung angrier than how much he already was.

Sitting himself down in the same chair as always, Yi Jung instantly begins to formally eat what was made for him. He was enjoying his breakfast so much that he failed to notice two pair of eyes looking out to him from behind the kitchen wall.

Yi Jung continued to eat and enjoy his breakfast more than ever. Mrs. So pops out of the kitchen and heads in Yi Jung's direction.

"Do you like the pancakes?" Mrs. So instantly questioned Yi Jung.

"Did you hire a new cook? This is different from before." Yi Jung replied before taking his next bite.

"Well you can say I have someone new." Mrs. So flashed Yi Jung a smirk, but he was so busy eating he did not notice his mother`s expressions.

"Well, tell him or her, they really know how to cook. Even if this is just pancakes, the taste is amazing."

"I think you should yourself thank that person. Don`t you think?" Yi Jung looked up to his mother for a quick second and nodded in confirmation.

"Come out." Mrs. So spoke out, which made a feminine figure come out of the kitchen. Yi Jung doesn't give any attention to Ga Eul and gets back to his breakfast.

"Come on say thank you to Ga Eul, she made those pancakes. She didn't even use the batter fix, this is all from scratch-"

"I don't need to say 'thank you' to her..." Yi Jung spoke with his cold voice.

"Yes you do. Now come on."

Yi Jung looks up into Ga Eul`s direction and fakes a smile, Ga Eul doesn`t bother to respond.

"T-H-A-N-K-Y-O-U... happy?"

"Yah!" This time Ga Eul replied with an upset tone and expression.

"What? What is it with you girls and taking little things seriously, it is so annoying. You made the pancakes, so what isn't that your job. Right?"

"Yi Jung!" Mrs. So upset with her son`s words yelled out to him. Yi Jung did not take any attention to his mother.

"I am just saying, people like her, aren't they suppose to be knowing how to make food for people like us right? They don't have anything better to do anyway." Ga Eul does not respond and only looks down to the floor, feeling hurt by his words once again. She wished she could say something back, but his words hurt her so much that nothing came to mind. The dining hall is dead silent as no one speaks of another word.


"By the way, I am sure both of you don't have anything planned for this month right?" Mrs. So broke the silence, and looked over to both as she questioned.

"I-"

"She probably doesn't have anything planned, it would be hard to believe she actually even has any friends!" Yi Jung smirks to his comment, this only causes Ga Eul`s temper to increase and she looks at Yi Jung, sending him death glares, but Yi Jung continued to smile.

"Yi Jung, enough okay. Always making Ga Eul feel bad, what about you huh? Mr. popular how is your work schedule for this month?"

"This month, I will be on vacation with the F4, we are planning to go to New Caledonia." Yi Jung replied still looking over to Ga Eul and exchanging glares. Mrs. So claps her hands together with excitement; this causes Yi Jung and Ga Eul to look over to where Mrs. So stood smiling.

"Then it is settled, you shall take Ga Eul to New Caledonia as well, for your honeymoon!"

"What!" The dining room echoed as Yi Jung and Ga Eul had the same reply with the same shocked tone. Yi Jung couldn't help but look at his mother with irritation.

"Mother why are you rushing things?"

"Nonsense, newly wedded husband and wife go immediately, on their honeymoon!" Excitement filled Mrs. So`s face. Ga Eul was not happy either with the idea.

"I think it is too soon, Mrs. So…"

"Ga Eul don't call me that, I am your mother now too, and you shall refer to me as mother. No one can change my mind. I have made up my mind and you two are going to New Caledonia, tomorrow morning, and that is final." With that Mrs. So walks away. Yi Jung drops his fork and knife that were in his hand onto the plate with much force. Closing his eyes, Yi Jung sighs deeply. Ga Eul looks over to Yi Jung and seeing his reaction, looks down to the neatly polished black and white checkerboard floor.

"Ga Eul!" The silence was broken by a figure that had walked into the dining room. Both Yi Jung and Ga Eul look at who just walked in. Ga Eul was shocked seeing him in front of her.

"Oppa…" Ga Eul was confused, and the figure knew it, but he continued to flash off his smile and straighten himself, as he held a bouquet of red roses in his hand.

"Who are you?" Yi Jung immediately questioned, not being in the mood for visitors, especially those, whom he did not know of.

"I am so sorry to be interrupting like this Mr. Yi Jung. Let me introduce myself. My name is Song Jae Rim, and I am Ga Eul`s..." Jae Rim pauses his words and looks over to Ga Eul and smiles, "...childhood friend.

Ga Eul stepped out of the car and walked towards the water, without realizing the car she came in had driven away. Her eyes finally finding their target, a breath of relief leaves Ga Eul's mouth, and she begins to head his way. For some reason, seeing him upset, was something hard for her to look at.

"Are you ok?" Ga Eul walks up to Yi Jung, who sat on the hood of his car looking out to the waves crashing on the shore on the chilly night. Yi Jung does not respond.

"It's cold out right now, I think you should come back home, you might get sick." Still Yi Jung gave no response; he continued to look out to the ocean. Ga Eul sighs giving up, but before leaving she removes her black shawl from her shoulders and manages to place it on Yi Jung`s shoulders as he was leaned forward.

"Don't stay out too late…" Saying her last words she begins to wake away.

"I`m sorry…" Yi Jung`s words make Ga Eul pause her steps and look back at Yi Jung with shock.
