That same day after school she went to take her pottery classes. This time she had to wait for So Yi Jeong to leave the school after not seeing her anywhere. Before he left, a call was made to Ga Eul. Watching the screen of her cellphone while hiding behind a near tree, she sighed and let her phone ringing, not wanting to answer and get him to ask her where she was at or why did she left and with who.
The potter gave up and left quickly in his Lotus Elise, a little frustrated that this was getting odd as it was happening everyday. Glancing down once again to his cellphone, there was no call from her. Sighing, he tried not to think in a pessimistic way.
The country bumpkin slowly walked away from the tree to the parking lot, looking at the car of the Don Juan. Seeing that her boyfriend was no longer there, she kept meditating on how this was all just for a good cause. She was sure he was getting little by little angry at her for not waiting for him when he always insisted and repeated to her to wait for him at the parking lot. The birthday of the ex Casanova was getting near and she knew this was all going to end and after he sees the reasons of why she avoided his ride invitation, she hoped he would feel happy.
Suddenly, Woo Bin and Ji Hoo were in sight from far away. But they were not alone. A girl from around her twenties was beside the Don Juan, having one of her arms around his back while walking. The violinist seemed uncomfortable with the women's presence as she tried to seduce him too.
Getting near to their cars, Ji Hoo noticed the commoner standing right in front of Woo Bin's car. Stopping, he waited for his friend to look at her too, trying to find an explanation of why she was there apparently waiting for the Don Juan.
Raising his head to see why his friend stopped, he saw Ga Eul crossing her arms and frowning. He checked his watch and saw that she was almost late to her class because of his fault.
"Ga Eul..." he walked towards her and try to give her an explanation. "...I was" he scratched the back of his head, trying to find a good excuse, but he knew he couldn't lie to her. It was strange how he could not invent something to her, it felt like she had the power to get out of him the truth.
"Let's go, you're late" he said trying to avoid her extremely serious glare that she was giving him. Slowly, she nodded in agreement but didn't say any word as she was angry for his tardiness.
"What about me?" the women asked him a little offended that he was about to leave her for some poor girl.
"Ji Hoo can you-" he looked at his friend about to ask him if he would take her to her home, but the violinist quickly interrupted him and proposed he could take Ga Eul.
Looking to the country bumpkin, Woo Bin asked her if she was fine with it and she rapidly nodded, knowing Ji Hoo was someone to trust. The only one who knew her secret was the Don Juan but that was about to change now. Ga Eul never wanted to make a big deal about her gift, counting with Song Woo Bin was more than sufficient for her to make the present for her boyfriend.
This time, her friend dissapointed her for forgetting what they agreed to. But who could blame a Don Juan who needed always a female by his side?. Rolling her eyes while saying goodbye to Woo Bin, she followed Ji Hoo to his car.
After locating the white automobile, they opened the doors and entered. Before starting the engine, the violinist looked at her and smiled. Ga Eul took notice of this and slowly turned her head awkwardly to look at him.
"What?"she asked a bit shy since she never got to spend time to talk with him or even interact with him since the last time they went to the movie theater.
"Sorry, but I feel obligated to ask you, why were you waiting for Woo Bin instead of going with So Yi Jeong?" he frowned and stared at her, hands on the steering wheel.
Blushing by this kind of question, she knew why he was asking it. Inside of her she was offended because she could feel how Ji Hoo was being all suspicious about her and the Don Juan being together lately. It was understandable as he saw them almost everyday getting together in the car.
"I take pottery classes" she responded to his question and sighed.
Ji Hoo quickly showed his teeth by this, smiling impressed by her answer. It was surprising to him how she could not ask her own boyfriend to give her lessons or take her to her class.
"Why don't you ask So Yi Jeong to take you?" he questioned her once again and hoped for a reasonable explanation.
"It's a surprise"she said while looking at him with hopeful eyes, almost begging to him that he would understand. "I want to give him a good present for his birthday" she sincerely told him the reason and sighed of relief as she was still looking at him, searching for any expression on his face.
Ji Hoo slowly nodded as he realized why was all that suspense with the Don Juan. Glancing now outside of his window, he smiled and felt relief that this wasn't what he thought it was.
"And I guess you don't want me to tell him" he told her knowing that was one favor she would surely be asking for. Slowly she nodded and gulped hard as she was feeling nervous for what he could say.
"Okay. Let's get you to your class" he said and started the engine. Quickly, he drove away from Shinhwa school.
Ga Eul just looked at him through all the ride while he asked where was the localization of the place. Glancing at him with a curious look she kept doubting what was his response to her favor. It was a little frustrating not to know him like all the other three of the F4. He was the most quiet but thoughtful of them and the only ones who knew him better was obviously his friends and Geum Jan Di.
Analyzing his face expression, he felt her eyes on him and smiled at this without even having to look at her. Pursing her lips, she was feeling confused by him and his odd smile.
Finally, she pointed towards the place where she took the lessons and told him to leave her there, right in front of the building. Turning her head to see one last time to the violinist, she thank him and opened the door. Before she could get out a hand touched her shoulder, stopping her from moving.
"If that dumb of Woo Bin does the same again, you can count on me" smiling at her, he returned his glare to the road waiting for her to leave. Smirking, she nodded and thank him once again before closing the door.
The class of today was very hard for her as they started to use the wheel to mold clay. Almost every student was feeling frustrated by the various attempts of making the form of the same vase that was placed in front of the whole class so they could copy the model.
Lots of groans were given as the mold wouldn't cooperate with their hands and had to start it all over again. Desperately everyone tried to be the best in the class and impress the young teacher. Only one of them was concentrating on her work without even noticing the competition that everyone was having to finish first. The only reason that moved her to keep waiting patiently and give all her effort was the love for her boyfriend. Doing this with all her love was something to admire in a girl who appreciates her boyfriend.
The teacher would walked by in front of the students to see how they were doing. There were occasions where she would gladly give literally a hand to help the students with the clay. The patience she has was extraordinary as many of them would sometimes even criticize her for not teaching them correctly. She was definitely in love with her work, doing pottery was her passion and no one could deny that to her.
The hour went fast and none of the students could finish it. Loud sighs of dissapointement was all it could be hear in the classroom as they began to stand up to leave.
"Remember, the key to achieve success is to fail first" Eun Jae said before they left. A smile she gave them and encourage them to keep fighting for what they wanted until they had it.
Ga Eul heard her words and smiled. Feeling lucky to have her as her potter teacher was a great honor for her as she couldn't believe how optimistic and realistic Eun Jae was. Getting her stuff back in the backpack, she stood up and glance at the teacher who was about to leave too. The eyes of the country bumpkin traveled to her purse and saw something that brought her attention quickly.
Touching it without any warning, Eun Jae noticed and looked at her impressed expression. "This is beautiful" Ga Eul sincerely said while examining the little puzzle piece with some words written on it.
"Yes, it is" she sighed while looking at the item that hung outside her purse. "I made this with my first true love" exhaling deeply, she looked at the face of the commoner and smiled seeing that she was really interested on the piece of art.
Taking it off her purse, she grabbed it very tightly in her hands before pulling close the hand of the girl and putting the puzzle piece on her hand. Ga Eul was surprised by this and looked at her teacher with wide eyes.
"I can't take this" Ga Eul rapidly said and extended her hand to give it back.
"Use it as an inspiration for your work" she pushed back her hand and smiled sweetly at her, knowing she was letting it in good hands. "But please, return it back when you finish. It has a special meaning for me" she touched her chest, close to her heart.
Swiftly, she nodded and looked at the piece one more time before grabbing it tightly in her hand. "What happened?" Ga Eul unawarely asked and felt ashamed for asking such a thing that involved her private life.
"I waited for him, but he never came" she was referring literally to a past event that happened between her and her love one, but it could be related as to waiting for him to return her her love too.
Feeling sad for her teacher, she glanced down to the floor searching for the right words to say. "I know someday he will regret it and come back to you" she said and looked to Eun Jae's eyes and could see a little sadness in her eyes.
"It has been two years" she sighed trying to maintain a smile on her face, not wanting to let this subject put her in a sad mood.
"Well, I think we should get going" the teacher finally announced trying to avoid the conversation of her love one.
Ga Eul bow and thank her for everything she has done since the first day and slowly walked away with a not-so-happy face. The story of Eun Jae was just so bitter that she couldn't stop thinking how in the world would someone not correspond the love of a women who had every virtue a men could wish for, not to mention the perfect figure she had that even made some students drool all over for her.
Wanting to help her she desire. Finding the true love of her teacher was something she wanted so bad to help her at. She thought of how hard had to be to still retain the memory of the first true love and not wanting to let go the hopes of finding love again. Wondering who was the dumb boy who didn't return back her feelings was all she had in mind while walking to her home. She hoped that that person was now suffering for her loss as no one deserved this kind of response in love.
Time to go to bed was one of her favorites. Rest was all she needed to regain the energies once again as for tomorrow she needed to work at the porridge shop. Even when her job was boring, she was finally glad that she was free from school. Weekends were not the greatest but when it was about to not go to school it could turned out to be fun.
Covering her body under the warm sheets, she looked at the ceiling at meditated on how happy she was at this point. The wonderful thought of having everything what she wanted in life was exciting. 'Perfect' is the best word to describe the moments she has been living.
It was unbelievable how lots of things changed in her life since her arrival at the Shinhwa school, where some time ago she was willing to die first instead of assisting to a high-class school. From the first day she couldn't deny that the most awesome success was seeing that handsome boy with a stunning smile looking at her in the parking lot. Everything changed from there. Her heart always seemed troubled back then when she tried to refuse the feelings that were slowly growing inside of her for him. Now, who would say that one of those boys who putted her in her most miserable days was indeed her loving boyfriend now.
Then, looking at her right side she saw her cellphone. Taking it, she could see there was still no calls from him. Very odd it was as he always communicates with her at that time of night. Waiting patiently was all she could do for now as she checked every second the mobile. Feeling frustrated after a couple of minutes, she was beginning to have a tantrum as she repeatedly raised and kick with her heels the bed.
Looking at her phone, she decided to call him for the first time. Pressing the number buttons, she pursed her lips very mad and putted the mobile on her ear waiting for him to pick up.
After five rings someone answered the phone. Unexpectedly it was Ji Hoo and she wondered why So Yi Jeong couldn't answer himself.
After a short greeting she says "Where's So Yi Jeong?"she asked a bit worried and waited for him to answer.
"He's right now at the stage" he told her. Claps were suddenly heard and she knew he was telling the truth.
"For what?" even when that was a dumb question to ask, she needed to know for what purpose he was at stage.
"He's presenting the ultimate vase he made" the violinist told her as he went far away from the crowd to hear her more clearly.
"Right, So Yi Jeong told me he was having soon an auction" she remembered back when he told her at the pottery shop.
"Ga Eul, why you didn't come?" he asked her curious of why she wasn't present at an important event of her boyfriend.
"He never asked me" she said in a sad tone while trying not to think about it that much.
"Ga Eul..." he giggled a bit before continuing to talk to her "...he was about to invite you today when he waited for you at the parking lot"
"Really?" her voice changed when listening to his words. She was happy that So Yi Jeong didn't forget about her at all and that it was her fault she couldn't attend to an important event for him.
"I need to leave now. I want to see how much they're going to fight for his piece of work" he laughed about it and waited for her to say goodbye.
"Thanks, Yoon Ji Hoo sunbae" after that she hung up the phone and sighed. This was definitely her fault and she didn't know how he would be feeling for this. Being there for him was all she wanted right now, supporting her boyfriend and congratulate him for his work.
She needed to do something for him, something that could demonstrate she was sorry. Apologize was her first objective when seeing him. Wondering what could she do, she remembered something important. Tomorrow it was their first week of being together.
Working at the porridge seem boring as always. Monotone was the word for each day she went to work and saw the same costumers at the same hour with the same order.
Geum Jan Di was mapping the kitchen while Ga Eul cleaned the tables that were used. Giving a sigh, she took the plates to the kitchen to get them washed. Looking at the clock ticking seemed more fun than rather cleaning again the same plates. The desperation of getting out was growing more and more each time a minute slowly passed.
Her friend noticed this and went to her after finishing her work with the floor. "Wha happened now?" she sounded like she was about to get mad if she received a negative response of her friend's relationship.
"How would you feel if someone who you really love misses an important event of yours?" she asked a bit worried by what could her answer be. Still washing the plates, she waited for her friend to talk.
"I would feel really angry" she honestly said and Ga Eul looked at her in the eyes before returning to work, not saying anything else.
"What happened with So Yi Jeong?" she knew it had to be with him she was having problems as the only one that could put her in this mood was him.
"I missed his auction" she told her and stopped what she was doing, turning to see Jan Di better.
"And I thought he was the bad guy" she smiled a little while she scolded Ga Eul for missing that opportunity to be around with him and what he does.
"What are you going to do?" her best friend asked her with curiosity as she rested her head on top of the stick of the map.
"I was planning to do something special for him" a smile appeared on her face as she told Jan Di what was her plan to get her apology accepted from him. Details were told to her friend as she clapped very excited for what she was about to do after getting out of work.
"I hope everything turns out great" she wished her good luck and felt proud of how Ga Eul was taking steps to get close to him too.
Getting out from the porridge shop, she was wearing a a bright smile that no one could take it down. Walking quickly to her destination she felt more excited each time she got more close. She hoped her plan worked out and he could forgive her.
Standing in front now of the pottery shop, she heaved a sigh and nodded to herself. Walking towards the door she saw it was open. Entering slowly, she searched the entire room until her eyes stopped when she saw the boy sitting at a wooden bench across the room. His eyes were fixed on the clay he was molding. The careful moves he made with his hands while touching it was impressive, and showed a lot of passion as he sweetly caressed it. A huge smile he had while glancing at his fine piece of art.
After a couple of seconds he finish it. Then, he glanced to the entrance and saw his girlfriend standing right there with a serious gaze. His smile dissapeared instantly and slowly took a napkin to clean his hands, not looking at her anymore.
Decided, she walked up to him very fast and stood right in front of him, looking down to him. Unexpetedly she grabbed his hand very tight and pulled him to get up. Not taking her hand off him she gave a little smirk before speaking "We are going out" she said with an authority voice and looked at him very serious, trying not to lose her confidence. This was her plan, act like he would do with her, and seeing that it always worked, she wanted to try it out now that she wanted to apologize during their date.
Where will Ga Eul take Yi Jeong?
