Please, I did my effort with this one more than the others, so I ask to be considerate and leave a review.
Enjoy!
Ga Eul was soon to be out of the hospital. It was night already and everything was being planned as they had left her alone at the room. The Casanova was against leaving her there with no companion but it was for a good cause. He needed to make sure everything went perfect. Even when the only thing he had to do was to make a few calls, he felt insecure sometimes on what she could like or not. Certainly, the F4 were going to be his accomplices and have fun with preparing everything for him. All he had planned and ordered needed to be ready for tomorrow night.
The F4 admired his friend by being so attentive and analyzing every single detail for tomorrow. They were proud of how their friend has changed during the course of meeting the country bumpkin, never seeing him like this before. The Casanova's eyes would shine every second her name was mentioned or by just being around her, and that meant all the time now. The only female name that came out of his mouth was 'Chu Ga Eul', no other girl would he have the interest to talk about or stare at. He was absolutely in love with the commoner, and this time it wasn't just a mere crush that would go away soon, this time it was more than that, more strong feelings.
"Gu Jun Pyo, do you have it ready for tomorrow?" he asked pointing the pencil he had in his hand at him. Checking everything was fine. The leader nodded.
Then, he turned to look at Ji Hoo who stood beside the boy with black curly hair. "Are you going to play it or someone else?" he asked placing the pencil under his own chin.
"It is going to be an honor to play it myself" he touched his chest with his right hand in signal that he wanted to do it more than anyone. He bowed and smiled to the Casanova.
"Better" his grin augmented and then he glanced to the last one of his friends.
"What did they told you?" he asked to the Don Juan. Before answering his question, he sighed as in frustration.
"That it couldn't be ready for tomorrow because they have to do special orders, but…" before continuing, he smirked and grabbed his jacket very confident "…when I told them that they were talking to Song Woo Bin, they immediately said they could do it"
This was one of the best parts of being famous and rich, that no matter what they wanted, they would always get it first. The treat they received from everyone was exclusive. In spite of the fact that he knew everything was going to be ready, he felt very nervous. He grew anxious every time he imagined the scene of how would it be to ask her, and even more when he visualized her expression. All that was left was to wait for tomorrow.
Finally, Ga Eul was able to go and she was more than happy now that she wasn't going to spend no longer at a cold and boring room. The F4 was present by the time she was leaving with So Yi Jeong. They would try to help her out with anything she needed; carry her backpack, announcing to everyone who stood in their way to move, watch her steps, and even offered her to carry her to the car. Ga Eul would just smile and gently say no as she was better.
Swiftly the Casanova opened the car door for her so she could get in. Chivalrously he offered her his hand to help her sit, and she accepted it. After she sat, he closed the door and quickly went around his Lotus Elise to enter in the automobile. As he was about to start the engine, he noticed that Ga Eul didn't had her seat belt on. Slowly, he leaned close to her and she was surprised by this move of him.
"Don't worry, I am just protecting your life" his face was inches away from her when he told this to her. Her cheeks turned red, and he stood there admiring her features and smiling to her before returning back to the steering wheel. When driving to her house, none of the two spoke as Yi Jeong was smiling of what happened and was about to the next day. On the other hand, the country bumpkin was still feeling nervous around him like this. Of course she has previously been with him alone, but all those times people were around them. Now, in this situation she didn't know how to act or say.
After what seemed a long and awkward ride, he parked his car in front of the building where she lives. A sigh came out of his mouth before speaking "Ga Eul…" he turned to look at her and she did the same, waiting for him to continue talking. "Tomorrow I will pick you up in the morning" he said without wanting to give any explanation of why. She stood there confused "Why?" she questioned him and his head turned to watch outside his glass, not looking at her anymore. "Just be ready" he was clearly trying to avoid her as he sighed annoyed. She just doubtfully nodded and opened the car door to get out. After getting out of it, she looked down to him and his eyes were still fixed to the other side. "Thank you, So Yi Jeong sunbae" she waited for an answer or even an expression, but he stood there quiet. Her face saddened and carefully closed the door.
Thereafter he sighed of relief now that she was gone as he didn't want to rush his question or do something that his male instincts were trying to do when she was at the car. It was not easy to handle his hormones around her, she had something no other woman has done and it was getting kind of frustrating how he needed to abstain himself when having her by his side. The thought of her being so innocent was maybe the answer to his hormone problem. Knowing he could be the first one to kiss her made him feel special, it felt like she has been waiting for him all this time. That she had reserved this special moment just for him. Even though he was a very well-experimented man, this occasion was going to be memorable and he wanted it to be exceptional and unforgettable for her too.
Finally getting to his mansion he couldn't sleep as he expected tomorrow with great anxiety. Laying down on his bed, he kept looking to the ceiling and smiling to himself. The memories of how he met her came back to his mind, flashbacks of every time he talked or even saw Ga Eul was all he could think about. Since he saw her at the parking lot the first time he knew she was different from the others, something captivated him of her. When he saved her from Nam-Kyu at the school and she refused his help, he felt attracted to her as she didn't care if he was a member of the F4 or that he was rich, not like other girls who would even physically hurt themselves to bring the attention of the handsome boys. The time he saved her from getting hit by the ball, he felt the need to protect her. Even though she later got hit by one ball, he knew then she was becoming someone special in his life because even if he tried to stop himself from helping her, his heart told him to go after her and his body heeded, not taking consideration of what his mind told them.
Then, he lamented the time where he told her to stay away from him. Nobody knew his reason but him. Seeing how close he was getting to her and how he needed to be around her was making him feel mad at this sudden change of feelings. He was scared of love and didn't want to hurt emotionally someone and not himself either. Every time he will think about his father's womanizing life he was sure he was taking the same steps to be like him, a cold-blooded person. Looking back at his life with his family made him realize back then that if he got marry to someone, like his father with his mother, the relationship would only be full of hatred and suffering. That's what he thought before knowing the country bumpkin as he felt he could beat any obstacle being just by her side. He admitted to himself that Ga Eul was changing him completely.
Next day
A new day, Yi Jeong's official new favorite day. Even when it hasn't even started, he could feel everything was going to be perfect. Today his life would change and his Casanova's days were over as he was finally going to proclaim his love to a special someone. He quickly got out of his enormous bed and dressed up as quickly as possible since he needed to go pick his soon-to-be girlfriend. Not taking too long he ran happy to his car and before entering, he glanced at the sky and heaved a sigh very joyful.
His phone suddenly rang and saw the name of the leader of the F4. "Where are you?" the boy with curly hair asked to his friend.
"I'm heading to Ga Eul's home now" his voice sounded very excited.
"Okay. I have Geum Jan Di by my side" Gu Jun Pyo said and the Casanova could clearly hear her as she was screaming at his friend. A sudden thought came in his mind of how that boy could be so in love with a girl who was always threatening his life and scolding him like a child. He shook his head scared and then smiled, knowing they were still on the phone. "Okay. I will see you guys soon" with that said he hung up the phone and pressed the gas pedal to get there fast.
Minutes passed as he would press the honk or call her, but nothing. Feeling frustrated for her delay he got out of his car and went to look for her. After climbing lots of stairs he was standing at the front of the door, looking at it before knocking it. Waiting impatiently, nobody still opened and he knocked again. Nothing. Curiously he placed his ear in the door and try to hear something or someone, but everything was silence.
"Aish! Where is she?" he murmured to himself and rubbed the back of his head trying to think of a place where he could look for her.
Then, he realized where she had to be. Leaving quickly the building and entering to his car, he drove as fast as he could to the porridge shop, hoping to find her there. Not caring of what anyone could say, he parked his Lotus Elise in front of the place where she works. Standing out of the door he took a deep breath and entered.
The country bumpkin appeared in sight and was taking the order of an old couple. A smile formed on his mouth as he imagined how would it be to get old beside the person you love, waking up to see the your love one sharing the bed, their life with you. It had to be a great experience and the most important choice couples can make. After that, he woke from his trance and glanced at the girl who sweetly smiled at the clients before announcing to her boss what was the order. He took some steps closer to her without her even noticing his presence there.
"Working, huh" he coughed so she could see he was talking to her. The commoner turned around just to see how the Casanova was smiling to her, and she immediately blushed.
"So Yi Jeong sunbae…" she said surprised to see him there. "What are you doing here?" she asked not remembering what he had told her the last night.
"I was supposed to pick you up at your home" he emphasized to let her know indirectly that he went to her apartment.
"Aish! I totally forgot" she sincerely told him and lowered her head disappointed. Yi Jeong just stared at her, admiring how cute she looked when she acted like this. Then, he grabbed her hand and began to pull her to go outside "Come on, let's go" he told her and she stood there, not wanting to move. This made him look at her confused. "But I can't leave my boss alone" she shook her head like a kid and he smiled even more for this. Even when she refused to give another step towards his car, he pulled her with all his strength and right at the front of the door she gave up and looked deadly serious to him before hopping in. The Casanova chuckled by her reaction and his cheeks were already hurting by how much he has been smiling since he woke up. He didn't want to imagine how his cheeks would be after this day got to its end.
Leaving from there, she crossed her arms angry and looked outside the window, watching how the porridge shop slowly disappeared from her sight as the Casanova drove fast from there. "Thanks to you I will surely get fired" she didn't want to look at him as she was still angry, trying not to think of the work but it was inevitable as that was and is her first job that she miraculously find, and now all that hard work could be for nothing.
"Don't worry, I have it all under control" he didn't look at her either but just stared at the road, anxious to get to their destination.
Ga Eul now turned to look at him, not knowing what he was talking about, but when So Yi Jeong returned her the glare, she swiftly looked to the window again trying to stay with a serious gaze.
After that, during the entire ride she never spoke to him and would glance to her surroundings trying to guess where he was taking her, but nothing seemed familiar. The fear of getting an accident was making her feel very nervous as he drove fast. He was very concentrated on getting there, the place where she didn't even know yet. That make her be intrigued as the Casanova would always impressed with new things she has never seen before, and she was sure this was one of those cases, but seeing him like that made her curious as he never acted this way.
Finally, after thirty minutes of driving they arrived to their destination; an airport. Ga Eul was definitely surprised as her mouth fell open. This was absolutely crazy, she thought. Why in the world would So Yi Jeong would bring her here! It was obviously not to pick up a related or visit someone in their work, not even have flight lessons. Unequivocally she knew it was to travel. Of course! He had all the money in the world and when he wanted to just go somewhere he could do it without even making plans before, but unfortunately Ga Eul wasn't like that and couldn't afford to do it.
The Casanova kept driving away from where the entrance of the airport was, Ga Eul looked at him disoriented but never spoking a word to him. The car got near to a fence where two men slowly opened it, letting them enter. Her eyes were now fixed to her surroundings, looking for something as there was nothing in sight. Yi Jeong would take a glimpse at her amazed face and smiled of how the time was more less now to proclaim his love. After minutes driving, they could see now a jet and from the distance four figures were standing in front of it, like if they have been waiting for them. Getting closer, she realized it was no other than the F4, and surprisingly Geum Jan Di, and she was wearing an angry expression while crossing her arms.
Parking right in front of their friends, he was about to open the door when she grabbed his hand stopping him. He turned to look at her and wait for her to speak.
"Why you brought me here?" she asked curious, knowing he was obviously planning to travel.
"Is a surprise" he smiled at her and without waiting anymore for her to talk, he got out of the car and greeted his friends while she was still inside the car. The country bumpkin sighed knowing this could mean trouble for her with her parents and her job. Being there with him made her feel happy and she didn't wanted to say no to him, but she had to admit being mad at him was the correct way to feel with him.
Bringing her here without even telling her with anticipation had its cons as she didn't bring any clothes, just what she was wearing at the moment and it was from her work. Not wanting to know how her parents would react when they discovered their daughter was with the cold-blooded Casanova in who knows what place he was planning to go.
Opening her door, So Yi Jeong grabbed her by the arm and pulled her outside of the car. The other F4 were clearly happy to see her again and her best friend too. Ga Eul bowed and greeted each one of them, and they would just stared at her with a playful smile.
When Geum Jan Di saw the presence of her friend there she ran to her and hugged her. "This stupid told me something bad had happened to you, but when I got here I could see it was all a stinky lie" when saying her final words, she glanced at the boy with curly hair and yelled at his direction, still mad at him.
"Yah! Who did you called stupid?" he asked offended knowing she was referring to him.
"The only one here" she looked at him with a disgusted glare while pointing at him.
"What…" he said in a huffy tone touching with the palm of his hand to his chest offended.
"Now is not just stupid but deaf too" she acted like she was impressed by this discovery of hers.
"Aish! Shut up!" he putted his hands on each side of his head making the impression he didn't wanted to hear her anymore.
"Now you want to give me orders" Geum Jan Di spoke loudly and got close to him so she could remove the hands from his head, trying to make him hear what she had to say to him. Strength he used to press his hands to his ears as the commoner would jump on his back still trying to manage in getting his hands off there.
The other F4 and the country bumpkin would just stared at this and smile as they thought how funny it was to see them fight like this. The three guys would laugh about it since it seemed almost impossible that the leader of their group, Gu Jun Pyo, could actually be scared to someone, and a girl. Years of being by his side, he would never demonstrate fear to anything but when every time he was near that girl, he would always shake of nervous and fear. The only thing that they couldn't understand was how he was in love with that girl so much even when she could sometimes threatened his life. Gu Jun Pyo was a pure masochist, no one could deny it.
"Can we go now?" Woo Bin was starting to get annoyed as how it seem an endless fight. He sighed and without even waiting for a question, he climbed the stairs to the private jet.
"Yeah! Can we go now?" the leader of the group asked irritated to the girl who was now getting off of him. The way he said made it feel like he was blaming her for their delay on getting in the jet. He didn't stood there when he said this but left quickly her side as he knew he could receive an injury by now.
Geum Jan Di stood there, angry and speechless of how he could say such a thing. Blaming her for something he started. Without saying any other word, she climbed the stairs to meet the others who were already sitting down.
Woo Bin was sitting facing Ji Hoo, the two at the corner beside the window. The seats next to them were alone as the others decided to sat apart from them. Seeing that she could sit right beside the one who she was falling for, she wore a big smile and walked towards the seat.
"Geum Jan Di" someone called her before sitting, Ji Hoo looked at her with an expression of what-are you-doing on his face. Gu Jun Pyo yelled her name once again and she turned to look at the annoying leader.
"I have reserved this seat for you" he patted it and gave a small smirk to her. She chuckled a little bit, disapointed that she couldn't take the seat she wanted. There was no other choice than to sit with him as he was almost obligating her.
On the other hand, So Yi Jeong sat in another room apart from the boys and Ga Eul followed him, but stood at the middle of the two rooms whe she looked around and could see he was the only there. Turning around she saw the other two F4 and the two seats that were empty. A thought came into her mind that maybe it was better to sit with them rather than being alone with the Casanova, but before she could take a step, So Yi Jeong grabbed her arm and pulled her into the room where he was alone. Ga Eul didn't expect this and her body just moved from where she stood, not giving any advice. He stopped and looked at her and pointed at the seat next to where he was sitting.
"You can make me some company" he said and waited for her to do or say something.
"Its okay, I will just sit with them" she pointed behind her, referring to the other F4, and chuckled nervously.
"Ga Eul..."he came close to her and her body began to shake while the butterflies in her stomach were fluttering like crazy. "...what's the matter?" his eyes were fixed on her and she could feel his breath on her face. The Casanova was being playful with her since he knew this made her feel like this, nervous. He liked to see her like that.
Without saying a word she looked into his eyes and gave a little chuckle before sitting down where he had wanted. He stood there for a moment, thinking how it was so easy to convince her. That was one of the things he loved about her, that even if in the past she had refused his help, it was because she really thought she didn't want it or need it. It was not because she wanted to get his attention by doing that, she was very innocent to even know how to pull an act like that, and mostly when it was with the Casanova. He was a professional to know what girls wanted, he was like this lots of years ago.
He smiled while thinking in space. "So Yi Jeong sunbae, aren't you going to sit?" she asked him while looking through the window. Then, he woke up from his trance and sat down. Looking at her, he felt his heart skip a beat and mostly when he was having her once again this close by his side.
"Attention passengers" the flight attendant said "In a couple of minutes we will take off to our destination; New Caledonia" the women smiled before disappearing to the cabin.
Ga Eul was shock for what she said and looked at the male who sat beside her. He just smiled and nodded. She could not believe this was happening. It was her first time traveling to a new place, and what else could be more beautiful than to go to New Caledonia. Her wish was becoming true and even more when the one was accompanying her in this trip was no other than her love one.
Thereafter, she realized she had to call her parents before taking off. Getting her phone out of the pocket of her skirt, she dial the number of her father. So Yi Jeong noticed this and took the phone off her hand and pushed the cancel button.
"Hey, give it back to me" she stretched her arms to grab the phone but he didn't let her take it. He laughed at this and she slowly gave a smile even if she tried not to. After fighting to get her phone, she gave up and he scoffed her. Ga Eul crossed her arms mad and looked to the front, not wanting to see his face as she knew she could smile.
"I need to call my parents" she said and swiftly turned her head to look at him angry.
"No, you not" he swung the cellphone from side to side as she tried to grab it.
"This is kidnapping" she pointed out to him and he looked at her surprised that she said that.
"No, is not. They already know" he said and gave Ga Eul now her phone.
"Liar" she murmured to herself while inspecting her cellphone.
So Yi Jeong heard this and came close to her face again "Do you really think that about me?" his gaze turned serious and she could clearly see he wasn't joking around. Even if she did not say any word she shook her head carefully to let him know she didn't believe that.
After that he leaned back again and waited for the jet to take off. The flight was quiet and calm as no one was talking. Woo Bin would just read a magazine while Ji Hoo was listening music, looking all the time through the window. Gu Jun Pyo and Geum Jan Di would just fight sometimes about silly things.
Chu Ga Eul was the only one who fell asleep. Her head slowly leaned to place it over his shoulder without her even noticing what she was doing. Getting his body close to her, she putted her arm around his stomach like back in the hospital. His smile could tell he was getting used to this. Lowering his head could see the sweet face she wore when sleeping; her cheeks stood their usual pink and her lips too. An entertainment for him was to poke her cheeks as deep as he could since they were big. A slight chuckle came out of his mouth when she would move her head sensing the touch but never opening her eyes.
The clouds that hide the view of the ocean dissapeared now and the deep blue water could be seen now. New Caledonia was to behold from up and the people seem like ants from their view. The only one who was there, impressed by it, was Geum Jan Di. The other just took a quick glimpse since they were tired of coming lots of times here. The girl that sat next to Gu Jun Pyo would nudge him on his arm very excited, pointing at him the land.
So Yi Jeong took this opportunity to wake up the girl who still had her head placed on his shoulder. "Ga Eul..." he carefully shook her arm and she slowly opened her eyes. "we are here" he pointed to the window with a smile on his face. Curiously, she leaned to look through the window and funnily it was the same expression and excitement as her best friend. She would give small jumps on the seat like a kid when they were happy.
"Attention passengers" the same flight attendant talked through the speaker. "I am happy to announce we have arrived to New Caledonia" with that said she left.
Claps were heard from both commoners as they were very excited. It was incredible how before getting in the private jet they were mad at the F4 but now it seem that their resentment washed away as they saw the paradisiacal crystalline beaches. The guys would just smirk at this since it was the first time they brought girls here and didn't expected that reaction.
Getting the F4 first off the jet, four females were waiting for them. It was clear by their color and eyes that they were tourists, americans. Three of them were blonde while the other brunette. They shot them a sexy smile and Woo Bin was the first one to greet the girls with a kiss on their cheeks, and the violinist was the second one to greet them. Gu Jun Pyo and So Yi Jeong waved saying hi but stood there waiting for the girls to come out.
Finally, the girls climbed out the jet and looked at the four exotic woman's body and scanned their own, comparing the curvaceous figure of the tourists with their own shape.
"Aren't you guys coming with us?" The Don Juan asked the leader and the Casanova while letting hang his ems around two of the girl's shoulders. Ji Hoo rolled his eyes by this question since he knew they were definitely going to say no.
"You go ahead instead, I have to babysit" Gu Jun Pyo told them and crossed his arms annoyed. The leader was lying, he just didn't want to tell the truth about wanting to be around Geum Jan Di. She looked at him with a surprised expression and punched him on his stomach.
"Aish! What was that for?" he looked at her, getting on his nerves.
"I don't need someone to take care of me!" she screamed at him and walked away, following the others.
"Yah! Don't leave me with the word in my mouth!" he soon followed her, leaving the two lovebirds behind.
So Yi Jeong was laughing at this scene while Ga Eul just glanced at him, somewhat preoccupied. After a few seconds he perceived the country bumpkin' stare. He turned to look at her and could see she was uncomfortable.
"What is the matter?" he asked her.
"Why you didn't go with them?" she touched her right arm with her left hand and sigh sad, referring to the girls and the other boys who were enjoying their company.
"I need to babysit too" he chuckled a bit and her eyes quickly looked at him with a shock expression, but before she could tell him something he grabbed her hand and pulled her away from there.
Following him without refusing, she saw the beautiful surroundings; the water was clear, the bright face of the people at the beach, the cabins made of wood and the roof of straws. It was new to her. Never could she imagine traveling to a place like this, somewhere exotic. All her life she planned on someday going to Jeju island since it was the only place where she could afford to go if she save money, obviously. Going in this adventure seem promising and full of surprises. The only question that needed to be answer was why the F4 decided to bring both of the commoners here along with them, when it made no sense when they let it clear they felt like they were babysitting them. Could it just be a lie? Is there something more going on?
Questions popped out in her mind but her mouth never let them slip out of her tongue. Following them around and letting them decide when they were ready to tell the them what was going on seem like a wise option, but it was getting Ga Eul anxious as to know why.
All of them walked through the long streets full of little markets that sell clothes, cheapy accesories and beach items. The american girls would stop in some of them to watch the cute stuff that was displayed, and sometimes the boys would buy them what they wanted. The country bumpkin was the only one who stood behind as she was very uncomfortable with their company, and the Casanova would notice while walking by her side.
"Hey! Let's go to the beach" the Don Juan exclaimed with a smile on his face looking to the others who were behind him. The idea seem interesting and they all looked to each other and nodded, accepting his offer. Again, Chu Ga Eul was the only who lowered her face and seem she wasn't interested.
"Come on, let's go with them" Yi Jeong said and pulled her by her hand but this time she refused to walk. His head leaned to the side, confused.
"I don't have clothes" she pointed to herself so he could see she was still at her working clothes. This was one of the reasons why she was mad. The Casanova brought her here without giving the chance of packing some clothes, and no, she wasn't willing to accept any money of him if it was to buy clothes for her. She didn't like that.
"When I said I have all under control, I meant everything" he blinked at her and her mouth fell open. This couldn't be happening, she thought to herself. After going over with her lines of what she had to say if he wanted to buy her clothes, So Yi Jeong once again impressed her of how he handled everything. The doubt she was having now was if the clothes fit her as he never got to know her size, or did he know.
Still speechless, he pulled her again and this time she followed him. They walked down to some fancy cabins and each of them entered in different ones. Only Woo Bin had the boldness of letting in two girls while the other two waited outside Ji Hoo's cabin.
Gu Jun Pyo and the Casanova lead the girls to their cabin and after giving them a warning to dress up quickly, they left to get themselves ready.
"I can't believe they brought us here like this" Geum Jan Di began to complain while she sat at the size king bed crossing her arms.
"Though, is a nice place, don't you think?" Ga Eul's smile was transmitted to her friend as she thought how optimistic the country bumpkin could be even in this kind of situation where the only thing Jan Di wanted was to hunt them down one by one.
"You're right" her friend admitted and opened the cabinet where Gu Jun Pyo told her the bathing suit was in. Chu Ga Eul did the same but looking through the closet.
The two found them and went to the bathroom to change. First Jan Di and then Ga Eul put the bathing suit. After that, the girls looked at each other and smiled. They felt comfortable with it. Both wore just a one-piece, covering all her stomach and back, and a nice little skirt that could be knot to the side.
The leader and the Casanova chose this particular style since they knew the girls didn't like to show off their body, and not even them would like that. Jelousy would went up to their heads if they saw some male looking at their girls. Choosing this bathing suit made them feel like they were protecting the girls from the perverted eyes too.
Someone called them from outside and yelled their names. The girls looked at each other and walked out to see who it was.
"Aish! You girls really don't know to quickly change!" it was no other than Gu Jun Pyo. He seemed annoyed while his friend stood right beside of him, admiring the country bumpkin's body. He knew he chose the correct bathing suit and he felt proud of it as the proof for it was the one who was wearing it.
Chu Ga Eul blushed by the intensity of his eyes staring at her and lowered her face, embarrassed by this moment. "Can we go already?" the boy with curly hair asked irritated rolling his eyes.
"Would you like to come with me?" So Yi Jeong raised and offered his hand to her. She looked up to him and let her hand placed over his, shy.
The two of them went together walking by hands. Ga Eul would look down still not believing what was happening between them. From the corner of his eyes he would watch how she blushed everytime he grabbed more tightly her hand, and this made him smile more and more, but still acting normal, like if nothing was happening.
Soon, they got to the beach and joinedthe other two F4 who were having fun with the tourist girls. So Yi Jeong lead her to a beach chair so she could sat down. Gu Jun Pyo did the same but in the other corner where Woo Bin was with the girls.
Putting lotion to the girls was one of the Don Juan's hobbies as he could take the opportunity to touch them. Ji Hoo applied the sunblock to other girl while the rest waited for them to finish, but seeing that the Casanova was just standing in front of the country bumpkin without doing anything, one of them called him and asked him to her the favor. Nodding, he looked at Ga Eul one more time before going.
The thought of him being a still a Casanova was making her feel sad, the impression of him changing was obviously impossible. Being in love with someone who couldn't be faithful was making her feel stupid of how her heart had the audacity of having feelings for him. Not caring anymore and wanting to clear up her mind, she stood up and walked away from them, looking at the horizon and walking by the shore, admiring nature's beauty.
So Yi Jeong noticed this as he never let her out of his sight. The girl who he was putting lotion to would desperately try to bring his attention but nothing seemed to work. The only reason why he did the favor was becasue he didn't wanted to be discourteous, not because he felt attracted to the girl's body or flirt with her, he wasn't interest in any of that.
Ga Eul kept on walking more far from them as lots of people looked at her being all alone. The solitude was her only companion now and it felt nice as she didn't want to think about anything. Smirking, she watched how the sun was touching the horizon, hiding slowly.
Suddenly, she fell to the sand on her butt. She slowly touched her head in pain. "I am so sorry" a boy with chinese features apologized while still being over her body. He stood up and offered his hand to get her up, she accepted it and pulled her up.
"Please, accept my apology" he once again said and bowed feeling awkward. Ga Eul rubbed her back and looked at him and gave a little smile and nodded. It was obvious it was an accident as she could see he was playing with some other boys, not watching where he was going made him bumped into her and fell.
"Is okay" she gave a little smirk while he chuckled nervously.
"So, what's your name?" out of nowhere he asked as he saw how interesting she looked.
"Chu Ga Eul" she bowed and waited for him to keep talking.
"Are you here alone?" he asked curiously with a smirk on his face trying to be friendly.
Before she could say something, someone grabbed her hand and responded for her "No, she's with me" the Casanova had left the girl who she was putting lotion on when he saw what happened between them.
"Oh" the chinese boy realized who was the boy who held the hand of Chu Ga Eul and got nervous. "Well I have to go. Sorry about that again" he smiled and ran away without looking behind.
"So Yi Jeong sunbae..." she didn't know why the boy reacted like that after the appearance of the Casanova, and even more why he grabbed her hand again.
"Let's go" he pulled her away from there and left to where the guys were, again. Little did she know he became jealous when he saw a male laying down on her body, and even when it was an accident, he felt like he needed to get him off from her and check if she was okay. Without caring he had left the girl who he was putting lotion to and ran to them as fast as he could. That's when the conversation between them started and he came at the exact time where the boy was trying to make a move on her. Holding her hand felt like he was claiming her as his girlfriend, and that boy understood the code, and even more when it was one of the F4 who looked at him with dead glares.
Before Ga Eul could even sat in the beach chair, she noticed something in the water, someone struggling. A loud scream she let out when she saw it was her best friend drowning. The boys took notice of this and watched to her direction. Gu Jun Pyo took out his shirt and ran to the water, but he stopped. Ji Hoo knowing he was afraid of the water, decided to go after her before something fatal could happen. The leader of the group stood there, dissapointed and angry at himself for not saving the girl he loves, looking how his friend was the one rescuing her.
After getting her out of the water, Ji Hoo slowly paced her on a beach chair and was about to give her CPR but Gu Jun Pyo pushed him to do it. After various attempts, Jan Di expelled water out of her mouth and searched for air. Sighing, he felt relief for her and inadvertently hugged her. While still embracing her, she looked to Ji Hoo who seemed kind of confused and sad of how his friend treated him. Standing up, he walked away to his cabin.
"Yah! Don't scare me again" he scolded Jan Di and embraced her again. She stood there confused, not knowing what to think as the boy she felt a huge attraction saved her and then left. Gu Jun Pyo did his own part, but she wasn't quite into the affection e was surprisingly giving her.
Thereafter, they'd decided it was best to leave since the moon was replacing now the sun and it was getting dark. Everyone left quickly but the Casanova and the country bumpkin. Their pace was slow during their walk to the cabins and each one of them would stare into a diferent direction. So Yi Jeong accompany her to the cabin and before she entered, he grabbed her by the shoulder to make her stop.
"Ga Eul..." she turned to look at him with a shy face. "... there's something waiting for you at the bed" he sighed and put his hands in his pockets, feeling awkward. She slightly nodded and turned to now enter.
Impatiently, she went to her bed and saw a orange dress laying over there with some white pearl pendants and necklace. A little white pink note was beside the long dress and picked it up to read it: Put this on. I will pick you up at 7. Its a date.
Her smile grew wide and she bite her lower lip, feeling butterflies in her stomach. Without letting it all in, she screamed of excitement and grabbed the dress, admiring how fancy and expensive had to be. She hugged it tightly and spinned around smiling. Geum Jan Di entered right then and saw Ga Eul, she covered her mouth as to not let escape a sound of her laughing, never seeing her best friend this joyful. Spinning around still, she saw the balck figure of her friend and stopped to look at her embarrassed.
"Why so happy?" Jan Di crossed her arm and leaned to the wooden wall, waiting for her answer.
"Someone is taking me out on a date" she didn't want to mention the Casanova's name as she didn't knew how woukd her best friend would react to this.
"And by someone you mean So Yi Jeong?" she smirked knowing what she tried to hide from her.
Ga Eul slowly said yes and waited for her friend to explode of anger, but nothing came from her mouth. Impressed she was by this that she even had to ask "Aren't you going to say something?"
Geum Jan Di shook her head and smile. "I'm going to get some fresh air" she let her know and walked away outside from the cabin.
It was wild not to see her friend go crazy. All this time she has been so protective even from guys who didn't even have the intention of making a move with Ga Eul, but it was strange that now that someone was directly inviting her for a date and even more when it was a casanova, she wouldn't complain nor making a big scene of why she had to be careful. Geum Jan Di just simply walk away.
Little did she know that the 'get some fresh air' of her best friend meant something else. She quickly went to take a shower, not knowing what was about to happen in another cabin.
The paces were quick as the destination to the target was near. Inhaling and exhaling to keep calm, she saw his cabin and without any warning she entered. Thankful she was he was already dressed up or she would've had suffered traumatically. The Casanova noticed her presence and was surprised of how bold she was.
"You.." she grabbed by the arm and pulled him to the bed.
"Geum Jan Di, you do realize we can't do this" he joked and raised his hand to cover his face, knowing she was about to overreact, and indeed she did as her hand slapped his arms.
"I came here for Ga Eul, you moron" she looked at him serious. This was about to go down as he knew the reason.
"I tolerate you go on a date with her not because I trust you but because you saved her before" she said while walking side by side with her arms crossed. He would just watch her all the time, carefully. "So, I will give you an opportunity and you better take advantage of it" she pointed at him furiously while he was still sitting on the bed, calmed.
"But you do know what will happen to you, don't you?" she grabbed him by his shirt and showed him her fist.
"I know, you will beat me up" he said in a monotone voice and raised his hands acknowledging it.
"That's not all" she chuckled like a mad person. "I will hunt you down, make you suffer in the most painful and slow way possible. After that, I will make sure you don't see another day light" her eyes were closed to his as she was speaking. He was getting scared of her and opened his eyes widely, trying to remind all that she said. Letting go his shirt, she kept staring at him while slowly walking away, vanishing from his room.
He sighed relief that she didn't do anything to him as a preview of what could he suffer physically. Standing up, he looked at himself in the mirror, buttoned his dinner jacket and fixed his black tie before leaving his room to look for the girl who was waiting for him now.
Taking his time to get to her cabin, he saw Woo Bin looking to the sea during his walk to get the country bumpkin. The Don Juan glanced at him and gave him a big thumps up, saying 'good luck' to him from the distance.
Right there he was, at the entrance of her door. Giving a little sigh to prepare himself, he knocked the door and waited for her to open up. Seconds later the doorknob was slowly turned and she peeked through the door, his eyes were curiously wondering what was behind the door.
At the other side of the door, Ga Eul took a big sigh before opening up completely. The nervousness of her body made her shake a little and she tried hide it, but when seeing how So Yi Jeong was dressed and looking at her, she couldn't control herself and blushed.
The Casanova couldn't believe what he was seeing in front of him. Trying not to let hang his mouth open, he admired the beauty that she held in her eyes, her face and all of her. The beautiful orange dress fit her curves and color skin. Her hair was tied in a bun with a little braid surrounding it.
So Yi Jeong's eyes traveled from up to down looking at her body. He smiled and was speechless, he didn't know what to say as he was feeling nervous being around the now transformed Ga Eul.
"What do you think?" she asked, shy. Expecting him to say something possibly nice of the dress he bought for her.
"Beautiful" that was the only word he could say as he was still dumbfounded.
"Where are we going?" seeing he wasn't talking, she decided to ask to get herself out of curiosity.
He snapped out of his trance and gave her a smile "You will see" after that he offered her his arm, and she slowly placed her hand over it, unsure of where he was taking her.
"You don't mind if we walk" he said while walking through the cabins, getting out there to the streets. She shook her head and kept looking at him for more details. "Good" he only said and she disappointed look to the front, her curiosity was killing her.
They walked through the streets, the sand and beach were still beside them and they could the breeze caressing their cheeks. The sound of the waves seem peaceful, something that could be heard during meditation or when going to sleep. A sweet melody that smoothly entered to ones ear and mind. Glancing at the stars that could be seen at the night sky was to cherish.
Even when the scenery was unbelievable, the cold breeze touched her skin so many times that it impossible not to freeze. Shaking of cold, So Yi Jeong took off his dinner jacket and placed it over her shoulders while she hold her arms trying to heat herself. After being such a gentlemen, he felt better and looked at him with thankful glare. They walked and walked, and she still didn't know why she was all dressed like this if they were just taking a walk. Reaching to a small bridge, he stopped and supported his hands on the cold wood. Both stared at the sea and the dark horizon now.
"This is a beautiful place" she broke the silence and leaned against the wood too. The Casanova looked at her, not taking his eyes off her.
"Since I was a kid, Jan Di and I would dream coming to a paradise like this" she sighed of happiness and continue "and now here we are" she kept looking at the horizon, meditating.
"So, Geum Jan Di and you are friends since little?" he asked her.
"Yes, since we were born I will say" she chuckled a bit. "She's really special to me, she's my only real friend" Ga Eul was opening up with him now and it felt nice for her.
"I see, that's why she's very protective of you" the thought of her hurting him came into his mind and gave him goosebumps.
She proudly nodded "She has always been like that. Trusting a guy seems impossible for her as everytime I let my heart fly to the arms of love, a backstab was all my heart received" the country bumpkin sighed and lowered her gaze, remembering how in the past boys would play with her heart. Going on dates was all she did as they got uninterested on her because she was not ready for what their hormones wanted. Innocent was her second name as she could never had a boyfriend because of not being prepared to even kiss.
"That explains everything" he didn't intended to let those words slip out of his mouth, but remembering what Jan Di told him was all he thought about while saying this, not noticing himself.
"What, did she told you something?" she turned her head to look at him, preoccupied.
"Apart from hunting, suffer slow and painful, and killing me..." he returned her the glare "...she was very nice" he said and laugh about it.
The country bumpkin stared at him uneasy. She was embarrassed of how her friend could speak to a person like that, and even more awkward when he told her everything her friend said. "Oh this Geum Jan Di, I will talk with her" she placed her hands on her hips angry.
"No need to do that. Jan Di is...a great friend. She just cares about you and your heart" he smiled and look at the horizon, searching for what words he could say next.
"I can say the same with the F4" she once again leaned against the wood.
"Huh" he didn't understand why she brought up his friends into the subject.
"Just like Jan Di with me, they're always there for you. Acting like obnoxious people can't still hide the truth. They care for you and your life, everything. I can say we are very lucky to have them by our side" she gave a if smirk and exhaled.
"You are right, we are lucky" he remembered all those times where the F4 was there for him since they were little kids. Even when their personalities were very different from each other, something unite them together and that was the love of friendship. They all endured their life problems together and that's why till' this day, he could say he knows them more than anyone else.
"Friends are the best medicine to heal your wounds in the heart. They're always there for you when you need it, taking slowly away the pain" she was feeling comfortable talking with him. "That's why my parents only trust Geum Jan Di besides me" she laughed about this. "That's one good thing about them, they have always trusted me with all their heart. They know I'm not going to make mistakes that could scar me for life or that could directly affect them" she felt proud saying those words, feeling happy that her parents gave her liberties that no others could receive.
"Sounds loving compared to mine" he said and heaved a sigh of dissapointment.
Before Ga Eul could asked why, she started to shake as the breeze was getting more cold. So Yi Jeong noticed this and walked behind her. Feeling two arms around her, she realized he was hugging her. A red blush appeare on her face as the two stood there without saying anything. She was shock by this but stood there without moving, not wanting to interrupt the moment.
"So Yi Jeong sunbae..." her voice expressed awe.
The Casanova didn't move a single bit, feeling the her body against his. "Ga Eul..." he waited a moment before turning her around, facing him and just a few inches were separating them. "I didn't brought you here for nothing" he gave a little explanation.
"Come on, we still have a whole night" he said and slowly grabbed her hand and began to walk.
After some minutes of walking, Yi Jeong stopped in front of a fancy restaurant. Ga Eul's mouth dropped open when she saw inside the glass all the food that the people were eating. Delicious, she thought. The Casanova smiled by seeing her hungry face and licking her lips. Her stomach at that same time growled while she rubbed it embarrassed.
"Come on, let's go eat" he took her by the hand and led her inside the huge place.
A young men well-dressed greeted them "Sir So Yi Jeong, we have been waiting for you" the men politely said and smile. Then, he took them to the restaurant booth where they could be alone with nobody around them. Ga Eul would just look to everyone's plate and licking more her lips while getting to their table.
The employee pointed at them the table. So Yi Jeong, like a gentlemen, pulled her chair so she could sit in. She bowed and blush before doing so. Then, he sat down in the other side of the table.
"I will have the honor to be serving you for tonight" the men said and gave them the menu so they could choose what they were going to eat. Every food was exotic and she would get impressed of how even a simple dessert could cost more than ten paychecks of her job.
The two decided and handled the menus to the employee. He left after that, leaving the two alone now.
"I don't how I will pay for all of this, but I will find a way to return it to you" she said a little embarrassed.
"Ga Eul, this is a date and I invited. You don't need pay me anything back" he smiled and caressed her hand that was placed on the table. She blushed by this but smirked.
"Thanks" she bowed like always, but he loved that from her, being thankful for everything. Not like all the previous girls he went to a date, trying to get him to buy her more and more without caring.
"Can I ask you something?" he wanted to start a conversation with her.
She said yes with her head and waited for his question.
"What you thought about me when you first met me?" this question struck her. She knew exactly what she thought at the moment and how she felt, but she wasn't prepared to tell him all of this.
"Beautiful smile and obnoxious personality" she only said lowering her head but her eyes were fixed on him still. Feeling embarrassed by telling this to him, even if it wasn't all she felt but more, giving him a little resume wasn't that bad.
"Really?" he sounded happy about this and she nodded, still not wanting to look at him. Noticing this he knew how to get her better. Slowly with one of his finger, he touched ther chin and raised her head "Want to know what I thought about you?" he smiled and she slowly nodded.
"I saw an indefenseless girl..." he paused to search through words, and she was clearly offended. "A beautiful indefenseless girl" he cleared out and she gave small smile by hearing the word 'beautiful'. "A girl with a big heart and a gorgeous smile that captivated my attention" he was letting all flood normally, and her face seem impressed by his words, blushing uncontrollably.
Ga Eul was definitely feeling special with his delicate words. She never imagined he could be this sincere to her. It felt like a dream, and she pinched herself just in case. She wanted to lower her head so she could handle it a little better but his hand was still there, touching her chin, now caressing her cheeks.
So Yi Jeong felt nervous but smiled when he sensed the heat on her cheeks. He never wanted this to end, this was just perfect and loving for him, but all of a sudden the men came with the food and they began to eat. Ga Eul would delightfully look at it before eating taking big pieces of fine meat to her mouth. The Casanova would laugh at this and she would feel embarrassed by this, but he would do the same to make her feel better. So Yi Jeong not to laugh when having the food at his mouth but couldn't as Ga Eul was laughing so much about this. Sometimes they would pick up each others food to eat and to taste it but their hand would slap at the other when intending to do it again.
Then, after getting tired of this he would imitate the sound of a plane while giving her a bit of what he was eating into her mouth. Ga Eul would laugh at this and tried not to show and drop the food from her mouth. The country bumpkin would do the same but would sometimes failed as she purposedly hit different parts around his mouth, So Yi Jeong would closed his eyes when this happened, trying not to laugh but the sound of her voice doing so made it impossible.
After all that talking and laughing, they decided it was best to go as they were full. So Yi Jeong all the time grabbed her hand and she was feeling now comfortable with it.
Leaving the place, she was about to walk to the dirextion where the cabins were but Yi Jeong stopped her. "There's something else I want to show you" he said and pulled her again to the other direction. Again, she was confused by what could it be as it was getting late and everything was closing now.
Walking for like five minutes, he stopped at the entrance of what seemed a park. Chu Ga Eul stood beside him while he glanced to the entrance and sighed before continuining walking.
This was the time now, he thought. The moment he has been waiting for. He was starting feel nervous as never before because he knew this was going to be a huge step in his love life.
Walking through the park, the country bumpkin could see that they were getting to what seem a garden full of flowers of all types. Impressed she was by all this nature's beauty.
Standing in the center of the garden, he turned to see face to face at the girl who fall for. Chu Ga Eul was just amaze and confused at the same time, but she didn't spoke.
"Ga Eul..." he called for her attention, and she slowly looked at him in the eyes. "Can I ask you something?" he held both of her hand on his. She nodded.
"Did you liked come to a new place where you haven't seen before?" he was referring to their trip to New Caledonia. Again, she nodded very happy.
"Did you liked having dinner and nice conversation with me?" he asked getting a lit bit more nervous. She said yes with her head.
"Then I guess is fair to finish step number three now" he walked away from her to a tree near them and grabbed a bouquet of roses that were hidden. He slowly walked towards her again, and a music started to play. It was indeed Ji Hoo, playing his violin from a fair distance. Ga Eul's hands swiftly covered her mouth, realizing what did he meant by that. She remembered telling them how she wanted to be asked out to be someone's girlfriend. It was all planned and now she realized his reasons of bringing her here. All of this was just because of her, no one else.
"Ga Eul, there's an important question I need to do" he stood in front of her with the bouquet of flowers in front of him.
"I have never done this question before so I hope this can make it special for you and me" he held her right hand and lean more close to her.
"Would you like to be my girlfriend?" he handed her now the roses and she was speechless. She looked into his eyes and was blushing like never before while he kept smiling at her, waiting for her answer.
"So Yi Jeong sunbae..." she struggled to speak as she was terribly nervous. "I would like to be your girlfriend" she said and gave a huge smile to him.
After her answer, he knew this was it. Now that he had her approval, he could finally do something he was dying for a lot of time ago.
Slowly, he leaned more close to her, grabbing her by her hip with one hand and the other touching sweetly her neck. Reaching almost to her lips, she closed her eyes to feel this moment. His lips touched hers, meeting for the first time. The taste of her lips was unique, like no other. At that exact same moment, fireworks appeared in the sky, and he pressed his lips more into hers and she did the same, not wanting to separate. Caressing the back of her neck he was while she moved hers to touch his face.
After a long seconds, he separated from her lips but they were still inches apart. "I love you, Ga Eul" he said and kissed her again, his arms going around her hip.
Then, she pulled him apart again. "I love you too, So Yi Jeong sunbae" she smiled to him and he kissed her on the forehead.
Without the couple noticing, the other F4 were taking pictures of this moment and smiling, proud of the now ex Casanova. Geum Jan Di stood there, beside them too. Even when she didn't smiled that much, she was happy for them and deep inside she enjoyed this moment.
Their friend clapped and screamed, and this made the couple looked to their direction. Both of then smiled but Ga Eul then buried her head on his chest, abashed that they saw everything. So Yi Jeong smiled by this and hugged her more while looking proudly to his friends.
The fireworks kept going on as they stood there, feeling each other's body, not wanting it to end. This was now a huge step for them, and a big decision they made. This night Ga Eul had her first kiss, losing her lips virginity. This night the Casanova had officially a girlfriend, his first girlfriend and only one he wanted. From now on he was decided to show her all his love that he has for her. The country bumpkin couldn't feel more happy as she knew she had make a wise decision by giving to him her first kiss and at the same time the opportunity to love and become a couple. It couldn't get better than that.
