A/N: Hello everyone, here is an update! :) I would like to thank all of you who have been reading my story and leaving me comments, I appreciate it very much! Spoiler*: More Yi Jung and Ga Eul moments 100% in the next chapter! :)
"This was given to me, by my parents. It is the only valuable item I have of them. I have gone through some tough times, but I never feared those moments, because long as I have this with me I feel as if my parents are protecting me. As if this will always be a blessing from them and it will get me to the right path."
"So that is what your father gave you during the accident..." Jun Pyo blurted out, confirming it to himself. Ga Eul looked his way with shock.
"H-how do you know about that...?" Jun Pyo then points his eyes towards the victim. Ga Eul shifts her eyes towards Jae Rim, but he makes no eye contact and looks at his hands as if he had done a very bad task.
"Jae Rim oppa might have exaggerated while telling you guys the story. Sorry he is really insecure towards me so please don't take what he says seriously."
"Not take it seriously? Ga Eul everything Jae Rim-Shi told us we know it is true and he wasn't lying either. Why did you not want anyone of us to know this?"
"Sorry Jan Di but I already answered your question."
"My turn?" Ga Eul without thought looks at Jae Rim, "Jae Rim oppa, why did you tell them about my past? How much did you tell them? You promised me you would never tell anyone." Ga Eul`s eyes were full of anger, as she looked in Jae Rim's way. He looked up and he had no strength to respond to Ga Eul, especially with the face she had on at the moment.
"I just thought if they knew they would care more about you..." Jae Rim confessed with the slightest voice he had for Ga Eul to hear.
"So they could pity me like everyone did before!"
"Ga Eul calm down. We don't pity you; we were the ones who asked him. He didn't do anything wrong, he cares for you so much, that's why he told us when we all were worried about to you, since you weren't waking up."
Ga Eul gave no notice to Jan Di`s words and just got up from her spot and left. Jae Rim was about to get up to go after her, but the hand of Ji Hoo stopped him. "I don't think this would be the best time for you to go after her..." Jae Rim nodded his head agreeing with Ji Hoo, Ga Eul was already upset with him and nothing would work out if he was the one to go cheer her up.
"Ji Hoo- Sunbae, I think I will go after her..." Ji Hoo shook his head to Jan Di`s offer, then he looked at Yi Jung, "Yi Jung will go."
"What?" The spot they sat in, echoed as everyone expect Ji Hoo and Jan Di had the same reaction to what Ji Hoo said.
"Why do I have to go?"
"Yi Jung she is your responsibility, you have to make sure she is alright. As her husband it is your right to make sure your wife is okay." Ji Hoo flashed Yi Jung a soft smile, but Yi Jung kept his eyebrows narrow and shook his head.
"I won't go. Sure in front of people I am her husband, but in reality I don't have any right on her, neither does she on me. We had decided that, the first day."
Jae Rim had become annoyed with Yi Jung's response and again attempted to go after Ga Eul, but Ji Hoo stopped him once again.
"Yi Jung what you are doing is not right, it only makes me sad to know you will only regret it later." With that Ji Hoo got up and went towards the direction that Ga Eul had went into.
Yi Jung scoffed at the words he heard, 'yeah right, I have never regretted anything, and never will!'
Ga Eul rested her elbows upon the wooden railings of the balcony. The raindrops were no match for the tears that had become a river in her eyes. Luckily the roof was big enough to hover over where Ga Eul stood, so she didn't get wet.
Then with the watery eyes, that made the night sky seem as a horizon far away, her voice escaped her mouth, "I miss you, so much…"
"We all are missing you back at the game too." Ga Eul looked to her side, and jumped back in fear seeing Ji Hoo standing next to her, leaning on the same railing. He flashes Ga Eul a soft smile, but she looks away and focuses her vision on her hands. Ji Hoo continues to smile as he looks up at the night sky. "Do you think after people die, they take the form of stars?" Ga Eul didn`t respond to Ji Hoo`s question.
"I do. You see does two stars over there, shining so bright, I am sure those are your parents, and the reason they are so bright, is because they have such a great daughter. Who not only cares about them, but much more. But I don't think they will continue to shine that bright, because seeing you cry, they won't be happy." No word came from Ga Eul, but this time, she did look up to the two stars Ji Hoo pointed to.
"You know my parents died in a car accident too…"Ji Hoo said with a sad tone, as he tightened his hands together. "But my parent`s stars will never shine bright as your parent`s do.
Ga Eul`s crying stopped as she looked at Ji Hoo with curiosity, "Why not?"
"Because of me they died, so how can they be happy with me?"
"That can't be true…" Ga Eul`s voice trailed off trying to understand what Ji Hoo was telling her.
"It is, one night we were driving home, and I was goofing around in the back seat, my mother even told me to stop, but I didn't listen. Then my father tried to stop me, that is when he didn't see the car coming towards us and…"
"But that can't be your fault. Sunbae you can't blame the past was your fault, it was meant to happen. You have to look at your past as a lesson and take that lesson to improve your future."
"Then why did you get upset, knowing we found out about your past?"
"I just didn't want anyone to know...It was something I wanted to forget and move on, without it."
"But didn`t you just say, your past can improve your future? I mean I don't know if you have noticed, but all of us have become protective of you, we care more than we did before, and that is good for you too."
"Well...Not everyone…" Ga Eul shifted her view back to her hands.
"Listen I know you are talking about Yi Jung, but let me tell you this and take it as a brotherly advice, if you just continue to be yourself, he will start to value you more than anyone. I promise. Even if you don`t have feelings for him, I promise as your brother from this day on, I will make sure Yi Jung cares about you more. He needs a friend companion like you." Ga Eul nodded her head slowly, but this made her wonder, 'isn`t Yi Jung super rich and with his looks can`t he find a companion anytime, why would he need her?' Ga Eul decides to put that question to the side as Ji Hoo handed her his white handkerchief, and she took it and wipes away her tears. Ga Eul flashes Ji Hoo a soft smile and walks back with him. Halfway back, Ga Eul stops and so does Ji Hoo. He looks at her with curiosity. Ga Eul looks down for a few seconds, and then looks back up to Ji Hoo.
"I wanted to say, I am really sorry, about your parents…"
"Is that pity for me?" Ji Hoo raised his eyebrows and flashed Ga Eul a playful smirk.
"No-No that is not what I meant…"
"I know I am just kidding!" Ji Hoo messes up the top part of Ga Eul`s hair and continues his way back, Ga Eul fixes her hair and follows Ji Hoo.
Ga Eul sat back in her spot smiling, but she still had yet to talk to Jae Rim. Soon as Ji Hoo took his seat the game began again where it left off.
"I guess it is my turn." Jae Rim spoke with a soft tone, still receiving ignorance from Ga Eul. Jae Rim surprisingly looked at Woo Bin. "Woo Bin, what would be one thing in life so far, that you did, which you still regret?"
Woo Bin was taken aback with the sudden question, especially coming from someone who he didn`t even know. Jae Rim began to cough, he formed his hand into a fist and placed it few inches away from his mouth, to cover his cough, but the cough wasn't all he was projecting. Woo Bin clearly saw a ring on Jae Rim`s right hand's ring finger. Silver metal enclosing around his finger and light blue gem in the middle with a small stone flowing in the blue gem. That kind of ring was very rare. Now it was clear to Woo Bin why Jae Rim asked him such a weird question and who he was. Soon as Jae Rim stopped coughing, he looked at Woo Bin and flashed him a smirk. Woo Bin gave no response but was completely surprised.
"Jae Rim-Shi are you okay? Should I get you some water?"
"Thank you Jan Di, but I am fine." Jae Rim gave Jan Di a quick glance thanking her, but then looked back at Woo Bin with the same smirk printed on his face.
"Umm…" Woo Bin couldn`t find the right words, 'how could he have not known Jae Rim was-'
"Yah! Woo Bin answer already!" Jun Pyo`s loud command snapped Woo Bin out of his thoughts, then thinking fast he came up with the right thing to say that very moment.
"Well I would have to say, being handsome is something I would regret." Woo Bin smiled as he fixed his hair.
"Why?" Jan Di questioned, Ga Eul only glanced over to Woo Bin hoping he would give a respectful answer.
"Well there is only one me and so many, I feel sorry for those I have to let down." Everyone scoffed at Woo Bin's reply, Yi Jung playfully hit Woo Bin's arm. Everyone just continued to laugh upon hearing Woo Bin's answer. As everyone began to engage in conversations debating Woo Bin's answer, Woo Bin looked at Jae Rim, but not with the same smile, yet it was a tempered face. Jae Rim witnessed it, but didn't respond.
"Yah woo bin stop always being full of yourself, it is just annoying." Jun Pyo's voice snapped Woo Bin back to the game again.
"Sorry bro... Sorry you can't handle the truth!" Woo Bin then high fived Yi Jung as they both exchanged a friendly smile. Woo Bin decided to focus on the game for now, he will deal with things later.
"My turn! Hmm... Ji Hoo!" Ji Hoo looked up to Woo Bin as he heard his name.
"Besides Seo Hyun, can you love another person?"
Everyone sat silent after seeing Ji Hoo's smile vanish for 2 minutes straight, he took a quick glance at Jan Di, then looked back at Woo Bin, and his smile appeared again, "I suddenly want to do it now."
"Do what?" Woo Bin questioned and with that Ji Hoo got up and made his way to Woo Bin.
"Hey! That`s not a hard question! You can do the dare." Woo Bin yelled out.
"Don't want to." Woo Bin shrieked in disgust, "go away!" but Ji Hoo approached him and gave him a kiss on the cheek, everyone began to laugh with what they witnessed. Soon as Ji Hoo sat back in his spot, Woo Bin instantly began to clean his cheek. Disgust was written all over his face. Everyone continued to laugh. Soon as everything settled Ji Hoo looked at Yi Jung. He carefully thought of a question Yi Jung would never answer, because the dare is what Ji Hoo wanted Yi Jung to do.
"Yi Jung, why didn't you ever go visit your mother in the hospital?" This caused Yi Jung to become silent. How could he answer that, he didn't evenknow if he had the right explanation; there was no way he would open up his feelings in front of his friends. Ji Hoo watched Yi Jung stumble through thoughts, by his expressions. Ji Hoo knew what came next and that was exactly what he wanted.
"I will take the dare." Yi Jung replied with a cool soft tone even though inside he was burning with the question he was asked.
"Okay, I dare you, when we all go sightseeing tomorrow, you will take Ga Eul on a personal tour of the island. No one else can go with you. You will be Ga Eul`s personal tour guide."
Yi Jung looks in Ji Hoo`s way with shock, he makes a quick glance towards Ga Eul, as she looks back at him carrying a confused look, but then Yi Jung focused his vision back at Ji Hoo, this times his head clearly about to explode.
"Yah! What kind of dare is that? I won`t do that!"
"You won`t huh? Then come on…" Ji Hoo raised his eyebrows and places his index finger on his left cheek, "you know the rules, if you don`t answer the question and don`t do the dare then…"
"Yah Ji Hoo! Are you okay!" Ji Hoo gave no response to Yi Jung`s question, instead he continued to flash him a smirk.
"Okay then I guess I have to come to you." Yi Jung was taken aback by Ji Hoo`s words.
"You wouldn`t…" Yi Jung grinded his teeth and squinted his eyebrows, challenging Ji Hoo.
"Bro, he did it to me, trust me he will." Woo Bin advised Yi Jung, Ji Hoo was half way up from his spot to walk over to Yi Jung, when finally Yi Jung yelled, "fine! I accept the dare! Just don`t come near me, you weirdo!"
Ji Hoo sat back down in his spot still carrying a smile, he looked at Ga Eul and winked at her, Ga Eul wasn't sure of this and Yi Jung he didn`t like this idea at all. 'Please make it rain tomorrow…' Yi Jung wished deeply, but he wasn't the only wishing for a bad outcome of the day to come.
Preview of Next Chapter:
Ga Eul was looking for a place to hide, she ran into the kitchen, but there with the small amount of light, she couldn`t find a good place. She walks up to the refrigerator, when suddenly someone yanks her arm. She is forced to go into the direction she was pulled. She yelped in fear, but was silenced when her face hit someone's chest, and surprisingly when she lifted her head, with the can light dim, but enough to see someone's face, Ga Eul witnessed Yi Jung smiling at her.
"What are you doing here?" Woo Bin questioned as he folds his arms in front of his chest and looks at the man leaning on the balcony`s railing.
"You know why, remember that promise I made you?"
"Yah, what about it?" Woo Bin questioned making his eyebrows narrow, still his eyes focused upon the man in front of him.
"Recalling that promise, I need help from you. I need you to help me separate Ga Eul and Yi Jung."
"Why? It is not like they like each other." Woo Bin spoke with a annoyed tone.
The man smiled. "Well yes, but they will begin to and Ga Eul is too innocent, she will easily fall into your jerk friend`s fake lies. That is why I want to make Yi Jung look bad for Ga Eul, to an extent that she will never want to see him again and will agree to go with me."
"Yah Yi Jung is not only a friend but my brother as well and you should watch what you say about him!" Woo Bin yelled.
The man's lips moved to one side into a smirk, "I think you should be concerned about Ga Eul more than Yi Jung, after all Ga Eul is your…"
