Enjoy!
The eyes of the famous potter were fixed on the face of his girlfriend, who was still standing up in front of him without saying a word. Giving a small smile that could say he couldn't believe she was demanding this from him, he waited for her to say something else.
The hand of the country bumpkin was still holding his, not wanting to let go even when he forcely tried to. Ga Eul could clearly see by the look on his eyes and his reaction towards her appearance at the place that he was angry. No word came out of his mouth still as he didn't know what to say in this case where he was mad at her for not waiting for him after school and not being present at one of his important auction.
"Yoon Ji Hoo sunbae..." she was about to explain him what his friend told her last night of what happened, but he quickly interrupt her.
"It doesn't matter anymore" he said in a dry tone while he passed by her side, walking to get to the dishwasher. Ga Eul turned around and her face saddened, knowing it mattered to him.
Looking at him getting all cleaned up and putting his dinner jacket, she kept quiet, not knowing what to do as her plan was vanishing from her mind. Seeing him like this made her feel guilty of her actions yesterday. The thought of quitting the pottery classes and just buy him a regular gift was slowly appearing on her mind as she couldn't handle watching her boyfriend getting frustrated and angry for her avoidance.
So Yi Jeong, glancing at her one more time, he was about to leave without daring to say something to her. Not even a simple 'goodbye' he gave before opening the door and disappearing from his place. The commoner quickly got offended by this action of his, but a reminder came into her mind that he had the right to feeling like this. The only thing that bothered her was how he dared to leave her standing alone in the middle of the pottery shop.
Sighing, she nodded to herself decided before her pace quicken to get outside and reach him. Opening the door to leave, she searched for the young ex Casanova as she looked to both sides the street. All of a sudden she saw him walking to his car, almost about to get in.
Running now, she saw how her opportunity to apologize to him was fading away as he started the engine. The first thought that crossed her mind was to stop him before he could go. Suddenly, she stepped in front of his car and raised her hands to both sides, signalling that she wasn't willing to let him drive away.
Looking at her with frustrated eyes, he stood there for a second trying to think of what was he going to do now. But when he saw from the distance a tear rolling down on her cheek, his face softened and felt guilty for treating her like this. Slowly, he raised his hand and signaled her to come in.
After entering and closing the door, she looked at him with a sad gaze. "I'm sorry for not being there for you" she spoke in a low and dissapointed voice, lowering her head.
One part of his mind was telling him to forgive her while the other was remembering how she left him hanging. There was no denying of how he could easily forgive her by looking at her sad puppy eyes, but he was still a men with pride and he tried to maintain it. Ga Eul was supposed to be there for him, to be by his side no matter in what situation. Having a mental battle of whether to talk to her right now or just listen to her speech of how she's sorry made him feel more guilty.
Without hesitating no longer, he looked at Ga Eul still a bit angry. "I wanted you there with me" So Yi Jeong began to speak what he felt at that moment "Only my friends have been there for me" he referred to all the times where he would have a big and important event. "Now that I have a girlfriend, I wanted to share with her my passion, my life and my work" he turned his head to look at her intensely in the eyes while she kept quiet, listening to the sad words he was speaking.
Being rich didn't promise to give you the love and affection of others. That was something it had to be earn by oneself. The memories of how he slowly became a famous potter by his work of art was returning to his mind. His father showed him all he knew now and he was proud back then to have him as his teacher, his hero. Everyone in his family was happy for his success as an artist and he could feel the love that surrounded him for that, for being a talented son. Little by little those images were fading away as he remembered how his parents wouldn't never show up to his presentations or auctions. The dissapointment and desperation leaded him to have a resentment towards them for not having the time to see their son achieving big goals.
The ex Casanova wanted someone to replace them, someone who he could feel part of his life. Ga Eul was the perfect girl for him, and she still was even when she missed the first auction being together as a couple. He didn't want to make it a big deal, but unintentionally reminding himself his past, he couldn't stop that feeling.
Touching gently his arm, she gave a small grin and looked at him in the eyes. "So Yi Jeong" she called his name so he could pay attention to her and look at her. "Let me show you how sorry I am" she said with a hopeful tone while he glanced at her, curious.
"How?" he asked while looking at the smile that was forming on her mouth.
"You will see" she said and got out of the car. Looking at her from inside the car, he saw how she walked around to the side of his door. Opening it, she pulled his arm and he quickly got out.
"Where are we going?" he was getting confused by this as she would refuse to go in the car. Just following her and be shut up seemed more wise than to try to get her to speak what she was trying to do.
Slowly, she placed his hand on her arm like if she was the 'gentlemen'. So Yi Jeong smiled at this and let his hand hang on her arm seeing it was cute how she acted.
Walking through the streets, the ex Casanova kept quiet as he looked to his surroundings, never being at this kind of place. Ga Eul would just admire his face expressions and sighed relief that he was there by her side, exploring the commoners world.
After walking a few blocks far away from where he had his car, she quickly entered to a flower shop while he stood outside. The country bumpkin told him to wait while she got some stuff she needed. His mind kept asking himself what stuff could she buy from a shop that only sells flowers. Shaking his head, he waited patiently for his girlfriend to come out.
After a couple of minutes, her presence was to be finally seen carrying a picnic hamper and a huge and large white plastic bag. Wondering what could be inside of it, he tried to sneak a glance but Ga Eul would quickly push him and tell him to wait until they got to their destination. What he didn't know is that she had planned this and left all the stuff at the store before looking for her boyfriend. Since the owner of the flower shop was friend of her, she knew she could count with her help.
So Yi Jeong would try to help her carry something but she would immediately refuse as she knew what was his purpose.
Minutes passed by and he was getting desperate to know where she was taking him. He took notice that they were getting far from all the streets and stores that surrounded them not so long ago. Still he couldn't figure out the location.
Approaching to the entrance of a park, he saw how the gates that were once covered all by black paint were rusty now. Screeching the gate while Ga Eul slowly opened it, he seemed terrified with this idea, not knowing what creepy place was she taking him.
"Are you sure this is safe?" he examined the gates and pointed towards inside while his eyes seemed scared of how spooky it appeared to be.
Nodding, she kept on walking knowing he was definitely going to follow her and not let her alone. Being behind her, he looked at the wooden bench that were placed along the path, all wear down by the termites. The trees seem sad as they stooped over, with just a few leafs that were soon to fall.
The park was lonely, there was no visitors. Not a single human being could be seen at that deserted park. The ex Casanova wondered why in the world would she bring him here when it was the most creepy place he has seen.
"Ga Eul, what are we doing here?" he asked while grabbing her arm firmly since the two of her hands were occupied carrying the basket and the large bag.
Seeing that they were getting near to the location she wanted to show him, she soon began to tell him a story to answer his question. "A long time ago, there was this girl who would come here everyday" she sighed happy before continuing. So Yi Jeong's expression changed as he thought she was going to tell him a scary story.
"She felt lonely and nobody accepted her. Then, one day at school, she got humiliated so bad that she ran away from there" she paused and looked at her boyfriend who was now paying very close attention to her story.
"Looking where to hide, she found this place. Back then it was full of joyful people. She felt relief here, but she needed to find somewhere where she could be alone, to cry alone" the country bumpkin heaved another sigh, trying not to get all sad by the past.
"Then, she found this beautiful place where no one knew of its existence" they stopped seeing that there was what appeared to be a wall made of bushes, they had walked to the end of the path. Slowly, she looked at So Yi Jeong before carefully entering through the bushes.
After that, he stood there for a moment. His face softened as he realized the girl from her story was herself. Then, he quickly followed her behind. Getting to the other end of it, and saw the most incredible view of the city.
"She found this place, a place where no one could bother or bully her. This was her secret and safe fortress" she said while putting the basket and the bag on the ground. The ex Casanova was just admiring the view he had in front of him. Everything seem smaller from there and the lights of the city could be seen as it was slowly getting dark.
Ga Eul stood behind him and smiled by his reaction. "She came here everyday, hoping and wishing that everything could change" she kept on telling the story.
"One day, she discovered something that intrigued her. The girl saw that the big tree who she always sat under its big branches had leafs in the shape of a big heart" she made him turned to the side so he could see the tree that stood right in front of them now. "Since that day, she promised to herself that when she meets her true love, she would bring him here, sharing with him the place that protected her, knowing that whoever comes here earned her trust and love" she finished and sighed very calm while looking to the tree who for so long was her crying companion. A few leafs were still accompanying him before falling off soon.
So Yi Jeong whirled around to look at Ga Eul, surprised by her story. "I don't know what to say" he was utterly surprised by this and he couldn't find any words to say.
The potter got close to her and he placed his hands on her shoulders, getting close to her face. "I would've beat up those who humiliate you. I would've been there for you" he told with a serious glare while she smirked for how he tried to be so protective with her.
"So Yi Jeong..." she paused while looking intensely into his eyes. Giving a curious glare, he stood there without saying anything, knowing she was about to speak. "There's something I need to do" kneeling, she grabbed the bag and took out a bouquet of red roses. So Yi Jeong's face was surprised by this.
"Will you forgive me?" she asked and raised her hands with the flowers in front of his face, offering an apology.
"Ga Eul..." he took the flowers and looked at them before returning his glare to the country bumpkin. A huge smile came across his face.
Suddenly, he embraced her very tightly. The potter's happiness filled his entire body, almost about to explode of how joyful he was feeling. He never imagined that someone would do this for him. The meaning to all of this was just incredible as he couldn't believe she did this to gave him a sincere and loving apology. Not only that, but she brought him to the place where she mentioned she would bring her true love. That meant he was her true love.
Words could not describe this moment as he sweetly looked at her in the eyes and placed his hands on her cheeks. Slowly, he kissed her forehead as she closed her eyes. After this, she smiled to him and giggle a bit. His face once again turned curious.
Grabbing the picnic hamper, she opened it and he could see lots of prepared food in it. "Happy one week of being together" she said and looked with a sweet gaze to his eyes.
So Yi Jeong's face became more bright and smiled for how attentive she was being with him. No other girl had done this for him, and he felt really special that someone put their efforts and love into all of this just for him. There was no doubt she was the only one for him.
Thereafter, they sat down on the ground, over the sheet she brought. They quickly placed the food outside beside them. Ga Eul served him food and both eat everything she brought for them. Doing this, she would sometimes share with him the food she was eating and he would do the same while they watched the sunset together, sitting on the ground close to each other.
Hours passed as they contemplated the panorama. The day was getting dark and they could see the bright lights now that complemented the city. The sweet breeze sweetly caressed them and sent shivers to all of Ga Eul's body parts as she was getting cold. So Yi Jeong, like a gentlemen, took off his dinner jacket and placed it over her shoulders. Stopping from shaking, she glance at her boyfriend with a big grin on her face.
The ex Casanova noticed this and turned to see her angelical face. "I think we should get going" he said and slowly stood up.
Ga Eul nodded to this and stood up with the help of the potter's hand. Cleaning up and taking everything of her property, they quickly left the place and then the park.
Getting to his car was almost exhausting after all that walking, but being by each one's side was more than sufficient to prolong the time they had to enjoy their company.
Starting the engine, he looked at the country bumpkin and buckled her up before leaving. The ride was quiet, but they felt more comfortable that way as they already talked about lots of subjects back at the park. The commoner would look outside the glass to watch the colorful lights that decorated the streets, remembering how they were seen before at the park. Giving a sigh, she felt relief that everything turned out to be great. That So Yi Jeong was finally happy with her again.
Passing in front of her home, she pointed towards the building where she lives before quickly disappearing out of sight. She looked at the potter for some explanation and he just smiled.
"Where are we going?" she asked a bit surprised by this.
"A place" he only said as he kept his eyes on the road.
Entering deep into the city where high-class people lived, she began to feel uncomfortable as she didn't knew what he was about to do. This turned out to be unexpectable as she thought he was just going to take her to her home. Again, she was wrong. He was part of the F4, the boys who were full of surprises.
Parking his car, he got out first and opened the door for her. Slowly, she examined her surroundings while he took her by her hand and walked to a near stage that was placed in the middle of the big city and its skyscrapers. Lots of people rapidly saw the couple and all of them began to scream his name, not caring if he was accompanied with a female. They all thought she was just another girl who he was playing with. Who could blame them, they all knew him as a Casanova.
Then, So Yi Jeong stopped and turned to face his girlfriend. "Stay here" he told her and then he walked away through the crowd until he finally got up on stage.
The mind of the country bumpkin wondered what was he going to do as he send her a smile from up there. Feeling nervous, she kept looking at him, staying immobile. Everybody would push her to get near to the ex Casanova as he was about to say something with the microphone.
"You're all wondering why I am here, on this stage" he looked from side to side the crowd that was increasing more and more as they all took notice he was one of the F4.
"There's a girl out there who bewitched my heart and soul. I am trapped under her charms" loud sighs in unison were heard from lots of girls, all thinking he was mentioning them.
Grabbing a saxophone, he sent her another smile and she felt more than happy by this. "This is for you" he said and began to play the instrument.
The crowd was perplexed for the incredible talent that So Yi Jeong not only had with pottery but with the music too. Ga Eul's cheeks turned even more red when he would occasionally open his eyes to look at her while playing the saxophone.
Little flashbacks came into her mind since the first time she met him until now. Afraid she felt before by how she would manage be in love with a player, but now everything was different. He changed for her. So Yi Jeong left his womanizing days behind as he was now with the only one who completed him, his girlfriend Ga Eul.
After finishing, all the girls began to clap and scream while he once again grabbed the microphone to talk. "I have to say that the one who robbed my heart and won't return it back is the one and only, Ga Eul" he pointed towards the country bumpkin and everyone turned to see who was the stupid girl who took his heart away from them.
The commoner's cheeks were very warm by this as she felt embarrassed to be watched by lots of people who were jealous of her.
Thereafter he climbed out the stage and slowly went to her, everyone making a way for him. When he finally got to her, he raised his hand and waited for hers to meet his. Wearing a grin on his face, he pulled her out of there, returning back to the car.
"Why you did that for?" Ga Eul asked while they closed the door.
"I just felt like I had to contribute on this special day" the feeling of letting her go to her home without him giving or doing something special for her seemed wrong. Also, he wanted to declare his love for her not only in the school but to all the people.
Ga Eul slowly nodded and smiled to him. Swiftly, she leaned to kiss him on the cheek and he felt a light blush coming on its way. Giggling about this, she kept looking at him while he started the engine, feeling nervous.
The night ended nice and perfect. The couple was finally in great terms again as they resolved their problem. The feeling each one experimented today was incredible, and each time grew more and more that sentiment of love. It was wonderful to know that they could trust now someone, someone who they could run into when facing problems or sad circumstances. This kind of gifts and shows of affections were uniting them more as they got know each other better. Love could not be explain in any words or description. It is just based on the actions of two people.
