Thank you to everyone who participated in the contest. I hope you enjoy this chapter!


The sound of clothes being rustled into a bag carelessly woke up Ga Eul. She fluttered her eyes a few times and then helped herself up and leaned back onto the bed's headboard. Jae Rim grabbed the rest of his clothes and closed the closet as he was about to head back to the bag to put the clothes in, seeing Ga Eul awake, he dropped the clothes to the floor and rushed to her. Enclosing into a tight hug, Jae Rim, was unaware he was almost crushing Ga Eul.

"...Um...Oppa...I-can't...breathe…"Jae Rim instantly let go and looked up to her, the smile on his face never left.

"I am so sorry Ga Eul, I am just really happy you are finally awake! You had me really worried!"

"Oppa, I am fine now. But when did you get here?"

Jae Rim took a few minutes and explained everything to Ga Eul. "That jerk, Yi Jung!" Jae Rim cursed as he ended yesterday's incident. He slumped down on the edge of the bed near Ga Eul, his back facing her. She softens and places her right hand on his left shoulder.

"Please don't worry about me so much. You always put me ahead of you. I always become the reason you have to leave your priorities."

Jae Rim shifts his head to the side where Ga Eul sat, and without eye contact, words left his mouth. "How can you come in between me and my priorities, when my very first priority is you, Ga Eul?"

There was silence, how could Ga Eul possibly reply to that? She begins to fiddle with her blanket, soon as she was about to respond, they both look towards the door that had just been open.

"Jae Rim-Shi, I didn't know you were in here, I am really sorry, I can come back later."

"No it's okay, you can stay. Besides I would need your help to get Ga Eul ready." The sudden shock as she came into the room seeing Jae Rim, she had completely forgotten about the girl that sat in bed, but now fully awake. Jan Di rushes over to Ga Eul.

"Ga Eul you are awake. I am so glad you are up, you had all of us worried."

"Thank you Jan Di unnie, I am sorry I caused so much trouble..."

Jan Di playfully hit Ga Eul's head gently, "first of all, drop the unnie okay, I want us to become great friends so don't be so formal..." Jan Di again after finishing her sentence hit Ga Eul on her head gently, "secondly what trouble? As friends can we not even do that much?" Jan Di's expressions drop as she recalls the incident, she becomes very upset and looks upon the wooden floor she stood on, "actually it was my fault, I should have stopped you, but I didn't I am really sorry..."

Ga Eul narrowed her eyebrows, "Jan Di come here." Jan Di leaned in a bit, her head an arm length away from Ga Eul, and as soon as Jan Di's head was close enough, Ga Eul hit her head gently. "Friends don't say sorry to each other. Also it wasn't your fault, so please do not blame yourself." Jan Di flashed Ga Eul a smile and Ga Eul did the same.

Jae Rim seemed to be in deep thought as the girls were talking, there giggling snapped him out and he sighed deeply. Getting up, he begins to pick up the clothes he dropped earlier and put them in the bag as well.

"Are you going somewhere?"

"Yes Ga Eul, actually you and I are leaving on tonight's flight back to South Korea, after what happened, I don't trust you being here any minute longer."

Jan Di jumped in place, "oh I forgot to tell you..." She walked up to Jae Rim.

"It is expected for a storm to come tonight, so to be on the safe side all flights were canceled..."

"What? This is not good." Jae Rim sat back on the edge of the bed with disappointment. The same hand approached Jae Rim`s shoulder, even the slightest warmth was the most comfortable, it coming from Ga Eul, Jae Rim thought to himself.

"Please don`t worry about me too much. I am fine as long as I have this with me." Ga Eul places her right hand over her neck, but the silver chain wasn`t there. Ga Eul roamed her neck with her hand, being sure it wasn't there, and in the end it was really missing. This led her to go crazy; she instantly got off the bed and started searching the room. "Where can it be?"

"Are you looking for this?" Jan Di opened her hand that she outstretched to Ga Eul, this item that sat in Jan Di`s hand, caused Ga Eul to take a deep breath of relief and grabs it right away.

"Sorry it was covered with mud so I thought I should clean it…" Jan Di confessed, Ga Eul already got the item around her neck as she finished, she looked up to Jan Di with a soft smile, "please just don't ever take this off again, unless I ask you to, this is too precious to me…" Jan Di nodded and smiled back.

"Ga Eul, let`s go, I don't see any signs of rain, I think we can make it." Jae Rim grabbed his bag and Ga Eul`s arm and dragged her with him outside, and as if on cue, soon as they stepped outside, it had started to rain. "Damn it!" Jae Rim cursed under his breathe as he let go of Ga Eul`s hand and went back into the room, dropping the bag on the floor.


Everyone had gathered round in the living room of the cabin. Darkness enclosed the island, but the rain hadn't come to an end. "This rain destroyed all of our plans, I really wanted to go site seeing…" Eun Jae whined as she slumped on the couch besides Yi Jung, and he instantly put his arm around her shoulders to cheer her up. Ga Eul was busy talking to Jan Di, to take any notice, but Jae Rim took note of everything and he wasn`t happy. Ji Hoo felt the atmosphere become awkward so he came up with an idea.

"Let`s play truth and dare!"

Everyone glanced at each other, "yah Ji Hoo that is such a kid`s game!" Woo Bin replied, he then received death glares from Ji Hoo which caused him to shrug his shoulders, seeing such glares come from someone so peaceful and quiet. Ji Hoo had given everyone the same look, and no one dared to go against him that very moment.

A small wooden coffee table was placed in the middle of the living room and everyone sat around it. Jan Di sat next to Jun Pyo, on the other side was where Ga Eul shyly sat down, Jae Rim tried to sit next to Ga Eul, but Eun Jae beat him to it. Next to Eun Jae, Yi Jung sat down followed by Woo Bin who sat next to him. Ji Hoo sat on the other side of Jun Pyo and tapped the spot next to him, where Jae Rim went over and sat down.

"Okay so what are the penalties for not answering a question?" Jan Di questioned.

"If you don't want to answer, you can do a dare then, but if you refuse to do the dare as well...you have to...hmmm" Ji Hoo stroked his chin, unable to come up with anything.

"They have to kiss the one who asked them the question!" Woo Bin yelled as he flashed Yi Jung a playful smirk and Yi Jung mirrored that expression.

"Yeah Sunbae, that would be really awkward, and weird..."Jan Di argued as she looked over to Ga Eul who agreed with her.

"You guys are no fun, how about kiss on the forehead? Or...hit?" Woo Bin offered.

"What do you mean?" Ga Eul asked, Woo Bin looked over to the one asking the question and rolled his eyes in annoyance towards her which she returned grinding her teeth.

"This is what it is..." Woo Bin got up to find a tin can almost the size of a salmon can; sat back down in his place and looked in Ga Eul's way and flicked it at her, luckily it passed her arm and fell to the floor, otherwise Jae Rim`s hand was clenched tight enough to throw a punch at Woo Bin even if the can happened to hit an inch of Ga Eul's arm.

Jan Di shivered with fear, "just...k-kiss..." Everyone nodded and the game officially began.


Yi Jung took the glass bottle of wine he had and placed it in the middle of the table, and gave it a firm spin. The bottle landed on him as it came to a stop.

"Me?" Yi Jung looked around and everyone nodded confirming his answer. Yi Jung surprisingly looked at Ga Eul first and smiled but Ga Eul gave no response, then Yi Jung shifted his vision to Eun Jae, "Eun Jae..." Eun Jae looked up sweetly and was already blushing as she looked down in her lap and awaited his question.

Yi Jung`s eyes looked up to Ga Eul again as he spoke, "let's say we were to get married, and I kind of faked our kiss and it turns out to have been your first kiss and I hadn't stolen it, would you go out of your way and make me a card thanking me for not stealing your first kiss?" Ga Eul knew he was talking about her and she fleshed her fist with anger, 'how dare he make fun of that!' Ga Eul yelled in her head. Yi Jung winked at Ga Eul and looked at Eun Jae.

"Yeah, what kind of question is that? First off I would have never faked a kiss with you, and secondly who makes a card for not getting their kiss stolen? That is so stupid!" Eun Jae began to laugh and so did everyone else, except Jan Di, agreeing that it would have been an idiotic thing to do. Ga Eul tried her best to hide the embarrassment that flashed on her cheeks.

"I don`t think that would have been a stupid thing to do. Someone who actually would do that, especially a girl, at least she cared enough to thank you, otherwise she wouldn`t even say a word. Maybe if one shows care, the other should be thankful." Jan Di looked around, telling everyone this. "Besides a person who would actually do this, even it wasn't that serious, you know that kind of person would stick with you no matter what happens or how rich you are. That type of girl would always do anything to keep you smiling. Also you said it was going to be her first kiss, and I believe that girl would really want to share her kiss with someone who she really cares about and who cares about her. So in conclusion, it was really special that the girl would actually confess up and make the card."

"Yah Jan Di, what are you a philosopher?" Jan Di looked at Jun Pyo, and their usual fight started. But their words became a blur to Yi Jung`s ears. Even his insulting laughs had stopped. 'What Jan Di just said, could it be true?'

"My turn!" Yi Jung was lost in thought; the loud sound of Eun Jae brought him back to reality.

"Umm...Jun Pyo sunbae. Hmm… Lets see...I got it! Let's say, your mother found out about your relationship with Jan Di, and she was against it; she asked you to leave Jan Di, would you let her go for exchange of the empire you are about to soon own?"

"No!" Jun Pyo didn`t even take a second to think of his reply, as if he had long known the answer.

"I wouldn't let her go! I can't let her go! I would hold onto her tightly...and definitely make her happy." Jun Pyo looked at Jan Di as she tried to hide the red crimson found on her cheeks. With a soft smile, Jun Pyo sat up, "now it`s me, right?"

"Geum Jan Di" Jan Di made eye contact with Jun Pyo as she heard her name.

"That promise I made you, is it still valid?" Jan Di flashed Jun Pyo a soft smile as she recalled the promise he spoke of.

Flashback

Jun Pyo dragged Jan Di to go with him to do shopping for the trip. They walked pass a wedding boutique, and Jun Pyo asked Jan Di try on some wedding dresses. After countless attempts to find the perfect dress, Jun Pyo was satisfied as Jan Di walked out of the fitting room, wearing an A-line, features vertical seams flowing from the shoulders down to a flared skirt, creating and inverted V shape. It was perfect in Jun Pyo's eyes. He stretched out his hand to Jan Di and she shyly took it. They walked up to a tall mirror and Jun Pyo let go of Jan Di's hand and turned her to face the mirror as he stood behind her, his chin resting on her shoulder.

"I can`t wait to make this a reality." Jun Pyo spoke with a soft voice.

"Me neither." Jan Di looked up at the mirror then her eyes fell upon the dashing guy whose chin rested on her shoulder. She couldn't handle, but smile at him.

"Can you promise me one thing?"

"Hmmm?"

"There will be some people who will be against us being together, but you have to promise me, no matter what happens, you won`t run away from me."

Jan Di smiled at his small proposal. Then her lips moved upwards into a grin. She turns around facing Jun Pyo, and bravely hugged him, "I promise!"

End of flashback

"Yes it is." Jun Pyo jumped in place hearing Jan Di's reply, nothing could wipe the smile off his face from this point on.

"My turn? Ga Eul...Why is that pendant so important to you?" Ga Eul was in shock she wasn't expecting anyone to ask that from her, ever.

"I am sorry, if it is too personal, I can ask something else from you..." Jan Di spoke as she witnessed Ga Eul's nervous face. Ga Eul took a deep breath and looked at Jan Di, flashing her the same soft smile.

"It is okay Jan Di. Sorry I was just surprised because no had asked me that question, ever expect Jae Rim oppa..." Everyone's eyes glanced over to Ga Eul. With the same smile on her face she slowly picks up the pendent that hide behind her shirt, by the silver thin chain that enclosed around her neck, holding the pendent.

It was very beautiful, simple yet beautiful. It was the shape of a compass; its sliver color perfectly embraced the entire shape. The golden piece in the middle held together layers of the circles that formed the compass. The detailed information could easily mistake anyone of it being a real compass. Ga Eul closed up all the layers, forming it in a perfect circle made of layers of other circles. When it was closed up, on the middle, a picture of star was formed. The layer in the middle was a bit thicker than the rest. Ga Eul pressed a golden button that was on the side of the thick layer and then the pendant opened revealing a picture of a mother and father and a little girl around 4 who sat smiling in her parents lap. Ga Eul took a quick glance at the picture and smiled. Then she faced the picture to the rest and slowly moved it around so everyone could see. Woo Bin was left in shock as his eyes widened, and it wasn`t because of the beauty of the pendant.

'No. It can't be...' Woo Bin said in the most silent voice, only his ears could hear.
