Finally (hallelujah playing in the background)
I finished this chapter! :D Again -_-
I know is not going to be the best since I was really, REALLY pissed off about what happened. Haven't you had that feeling that when you finish something but then for some accident you have to start all over again, you get frustrated and don't want to do it because you can't find a way to do it like the first time? Lol
I try my best with this chapter, but I know the other one was better *throws on the floor and sobs*
Hope you can enjoy and appreciate my effort since I started writing it at 12 am and finished it at 4:30 am lol :) hope to see reviews when I wake up
The realization of having the presence of the girl who he once loved was very shocking to him. For a moment, the thought of being just a dream or a hallucination was more of a good explanation than literally standing in front of her. Surprised, he didn't knew what else to do but to just stare at her and think of a reason she appeared right now. Perhaps she was just there to wish him a happy birthday like every year before, but again, she had made it clear that she wasn't interested in returning to his life when she leave him alone in the classroom, all confused.
"Eun Jae, what are you-" his voice sounded nervous as he try to speak.
"I came here to see you" Eun Jae quickly interjected, pointing out the reason of her appearance. The bright in her eyes could tell that she was very happy to see him this time. Grabbing her purse tightly, she pressed her lips very afraid of how this conversation could go.
"Why?" the potter asked her. Feelings were mixed at that moment as he didn't knew what to express; sadness, happiness, or maybe anger?. Battling that question was his heart as he try to look at her in the eyes for a response.
"There's something I need to tell you" lowering her head, she didn't had the courage to look at his face and tell him. Gaining confidence on herself now, she slowly raised her head and glance directly into his eyes, trying not to hesitate on the next words she was sure she had to speak.
So Yi Jeong clearly didn't know what she wanted to tell him. All those years being together with her and he never got a clue of what conversations she could out-of-nowhere speak. Eun Jae was like that, unexpected with her words.
"Yesterday, I didn't told you all the truth" she sighed trying to take away the nervousness that was gaining control of her body.
"I lied to you about something important" she took some steps more close to him and he just stood there, trying to analyze of what she could possibly hide from him that day.
"On what did you lied?" his eyes were very focused on the expressions she gave as it was a little difficult to read her face.
Giving a little smirk, her eyes were shining more now by seeing his face and how he hasn't changed. Eun Jae was definitely prepared for this, she was a long time ago. The only thing that stopped her all that time was her timid personality, but tonight she shackled that emotion away and was ready for her next step.
"About this" those were the only words she said before taking proximity to his body, pressing against his lips. This was her response for his question if she still had the same feelings for him, and it was bold yes.
The surprise of this action staggered him as his eyes were wide open while she kissed him. Slowly, he sweetly touched her arms and closed his eyes.
The little box that was holding her hand slowly slipped away to the floor, giving a little echo to the corridor. A tear quickly made company beside the box who was now open by the impact.
The unbelievable scene that she was beholding was unbearable to watch as her pain grew more and more inside her heart. A hand rapidly found its way to cover her mouth from the sobs that was threatening to alarm the now two persons who were standing in front of her kissing. None of them took notice as the back of the Casanova was facing her and Eun Jae was distracted kissing him.
Standing there, she try to think this was just a hallucination or a misunderstanding, but none of them move, they just kept in the same place and the same position.
Not taking it anymore, she ran away from there. Pushing hard the door to get outside, away from where her heart broke into a million pieces. Both of the two potters never took notice of her departure as Eun Jae was still pressing her lips against his, wanting to appreciate every single millisecond of it. So Yi Jeong couldn't yet accept this was actually happening.
After that, Woo Bin came out of the ballroom to search for the two who were still missing as he was impatient to already sing to him happy birthday. But when he saw the same scene that the country bumpkin behold seconds ago, his face didn't have the same expression as Ga Eul. The Don Juan was totally angry at the Casanova now. His face hardened as his eyebrows quickly lowered very straight.
The urge of going directly to him and punch his face was getting in his way, but he knew that somewhere out there the commoner had to be broken-hearted. Taking a step to his direction and with his hand forming already into a fist, he stopped himself and knew this wasn't worth it. Seek for Ga Eul seemed more wise to him as she needed someone to be by her side at this moment.
Knowing she had to run away from there, he rapidly pushed the door and went to look for her.
Thereafter Ji Hoo came out too as he was getting worried than none of the three hasn't come back yet. Before turning around the corner, he saw the little box that belonged to the country bumpkin. The necklace and the bracelet were exposed as it was opened. Kneeling down to pick it up, he thought this was odd to find something very valuable to her on the floor.
After looking at it and closing the box, he stood up and turned around the corner just to find Eun Jae and So Yi Jeong looking at each other very closely. The eyes of the violinist were to be quickly wide open as he knew this meant trouble. Then he realized by looking once again to the box that Ga Eul must had dropped it after seeing this.
Eun Jae took notice of the presence of Ji Hoo and she glanced at him with a worried gaze. This made the Casanova whirled around just to watch how disappointed the face of his friend was, moving his head slowly side to side with a serious look in his eyes.
Turning around to return to the ballroom, Ji Hoo felt someone coming and he stopped as he realized it was So Yi Jeong. "I can explain" the potter said and placed his hand on the violinist's shoulder, not wanting to let him go.
"It's not me who you need to explain" shaking his hand off, he kept walking without looking at him.
The legs of the country bumpkin try to run fast but her heels wouldn't permit her that. Covering her face with one arm as she cry helplessly, she didnt knew where she was really going and couldn't see clear as her eyes were full of tears. Not being careful with where her foot stepped on, a rock quickly made her went to the concrete pavement.
Sitting there and crying for a couple of seconds, she decided it was best to take the shoes off and kept running away, not wanting someone to encounter her in this miserable way. Leaving her shoes behind, she felt free to run how much she wanted.
The memory of watching them kissed replayed in her mind over and over again. It was like it never had an end. It was so easy to forget the happiest moments in the life, but when the pain emerged there's no way back to erase them from the head. She thought he loved her, but now it was more clear for her that that was just her imagination all this time. Ga Eul really try to forget what just happened so her heart wouldn't ache so much and her pain could soothe, but that was impossible.
The night was cold but she didn't care as her adrenaline was high, not sensing the temperature now. She just wanted to find a quiet and alone place where he could cry alone and try to understand what she did wrong. But it was obvious that all these time he was storing those feelings in a small corner of his heart, and now that she appeared back it had blossomed again. Now she was just another girl of So Yi Jeong's list, that's how she felt.
Walking, she find a bench near the entrance of a park and sat there. Her clothers were already messed up and her make-up too, but she didnt care how she looked now. Crossing her arms and lowering her head, she sobbed uncontrollably trying to find an answer of why he did that to her, what she did wrong for him to kiss another girl.
The adrenaline was slowly fading away and the cold was to be sense now. Her body shaked as she try to cover her chest with her arms, trying to warm herself but it wasn't functioning.
"Ga Eul!" a male voice screamed from far as he quickly ran towards her very preoccupied.
This brought her attention and looked up to see the Don Juan standing now in front of her, taking off his dinner jacket. Swiftly, he placed it over her and kneeled to see her face. Woo Bin could noticed the color red in her eyes for how much she had been crying, and he felt very sad to see her like this.
Wiping away her tears with his thumb, he stood up and stretched his hand toward her "Let's go, Ga Eul. I will take you home" he said glancing at her sad face.
Shooking her head, the country bumpkin refused to go with him and pushed away his hand. Something was telling him that her angry mood was being used towards him.
"I want to be alone" the commoner told him while she gulped really hard, trying to remove the lump in her throat.
"You can't be here all by yourself" he grabbed her arm and pulled her to walk. Ga Eul quickly stood up but refused to take even a step. Forcing him to let her go, Woo Bin did so and glanced at her with a confused glare.
Unexpectedly, the country bumpkin pushed him very mad and looked at his eyes very upset. "Go away!" her voice was becoming loud.
The Don Juan never presumed she would act like that and he was indeed impressed by this sudden change of mood in her, but it was understandable.
"You lied to me. You said he cared for me, that he loved me, but it was all a big lie" her voice started to quiver as she pushed him once again, trying to make him go away.
Finally, after a long moment of supporting her bad attitude Woo Bin decided it was best to leave as he was himself hurt by the words she gave to him, never feeling this way before. It was undoubtedly true that he cared about her as his little sister, but leaving her this time alone seemed a better option so she could think of everything that happened without anyone interrupting her peace.
After a long walk, he was soon again at where all the drama started. The reporters and photographers where still out there seeking for the F4, hungry for a juicy gossip while the people who didn't get in were still waiting outside for a miracle to happen.
The Don Juan quickly ran inside the building so none of them could bother him with silly questions. Rubbing the back of his neck, he glanced at the spot where he recently saw So Yi Jeong committ another of his mistakes. Giving a sigh, he knew he had to confront as So Yi Jeong surely knows he was a witness of his despicable actions.
Turning around the corner to enter the ballroom, he watched how Eun Jae quickly walked away to exit the building with a huge smile on her face. This image just made Wok Bin feel more angry towards his friend and try not to lose his composure as he walked to the table where the other F4 were supposed to be.
To his surprise no one was there and he wondered where they could be as he looked around the place. A light poke he felt on the shoulder and he immediately turned around to see who was. Geum Jan Di stood there with a confused look "have you seen Ga Eul?" she asked him.
The Don Juan placed his hands over his hips, trying to decide whether to tell her everything or just lie. But the word lie just kept spinning around his head as he remembered that was the description that the country bumpkin indirectly gave to him, a liar. He wasn't, he just thought deep inside his heart that everything was going to be fine between her and the Casanova, but unfortunately it didn't turned out that way.
He exhaled deeply "have you seen So Yi Jeong?" he asked opting to ignore her question and know the answer to the real important question for him.
"I asked first" she said a little offended that he wasn't paying attention to her.
"I don't have time for this" he miraculously told her as he wasn't interested in winning this time their arguing battle. There where more important things to preoccupy now. Carefully pushing her aside, he kept walking around the ballroom searching for his friends.
At last he took in sight the violinist who was getting out of the place to the corridors. Running quickly to his direction, he saw how So Yi Jeong was walking from side to side with a worried face while Ji Hoo and Gu Jun Pyo just looked at him with a serious gaze.
Walking slowly, he try not to explode in anger and let those negative emotions go away, but the more he saw the Casanova the more he felt angry. It was his fault that Ga Eul was mad at him, upset by the words he once thought it was true.
So Yi Jeong took notice of the Don Juan's presence and went close to him almost about to speak. Woo Bin couldn't handle it anymore, it was just too much feelings inside of him that he needed to let go.
Grabbing his best friend by the shirt, he pushed him against the wall and looked intensely into his eyes. "Tell me, why you did such a stupid thing to Ga Eul?" he screamed at his face while Ji Hoo and Gu Jun Pyo looked at each other afraid of what could he do to the Casanova.
Coming more close to him, both placed their hands on his shoulder trying to stop him, but he never moved.
"Tell me!" he yelled even more louder than before, pressing his chest against the wall with his arm.
"She kissed me" So Yi Jeong said with a lot of difficulty.
"And you want me to suppose that's a valid explanation for receiving well that kiss" he punched the wall beside the potter very frustrated. Woo Bin just really wanted him to be happy with Ga Eul, and now he had messed up once again. All that anger was because he cares for his friend and the country bumpkin. He just wanted him to embrace a new part of his life that he never had experienced it before, but now he ruined it.
Letting him go now, he walked away from there, not wanting to see his face. The other F4 glanced at Woo Bin and then at So Yi Jeong one more time before leaving.
The Casanova stood right there, trying not to breakdown on the floor as he watch how his friends left him alone. Feeling solitary now, he began to scream in pain, wanting to know where Ga Eul was at and figure out what his feelings were now. Calming down was impossible as he couldn't find an answer to any of his questions of love. Ga Eul was nowhere to be seen and Eun Jae left happy after their sweet moment they shared a couple minutes ago. So Yi Jeong needed to clear out his mind and see through all that blurry mixed up emotions and decide what was best for him and the two girls.
Sitting still on the same bench, she kept thinking how will she have the courage to confront him now that he clearly made a choice. It was very humiliating to think that someone easily played with her heart and that now she had to endure the consequences for falling in love with a cold-blooded Casanova. Now that she thought about it, that nickname was hair too short to describe him. Ga Eul could see that the nickname really had a meaning on his life, but she was so blind by love to see it.
Looking down at her cold feet, a pair of shoes appeared instantly in front of her. Slowly, raising her head she hoped it was not perverted men, but to her surprise it was someone who made her feel comfortable in a matter of seconds.
"Yong Sook" she said surprised while he just glanced at her with a sweet smile.
"Why there's a beautiful girl crying outside in the middle of a dangerous night?" he sat next to her and turned his face to look at her sad eyes.
"Let me guess, hmmm..." he acted like he was thinking about it while he pursed his lips to the side.
"The Casanova broke your heart" he crossed his arms and waited for her answer. Slowly she nodded and cry even more for someone reminding her what happened.
Not expecting this from her, Yong Sook didn't know what to do since he was still afraid to get close to her. But knowing she needed someone to comfort her, he slowly patted her shoulder, looking awkward.
"I don't understand why" she said in middle of sobs, looking to the front with the pain clearly reflected in her eyes.
"Ga Eul, sometimes this are the moments where make us more stronger. Even when you can't see it right now or don't understand the answer to the problem, you will always find a solution and a way to heal. Because there's no scar that can't heal" still touching her shoulder, he hoped that somehow she could at him even if it felt uncomfortable, but he needed to see her face, comfort the country bumpkin even with just words.
Finally, raising her head she looked at him and gave a small smile. This is what she missed about him, his way of seeing the problems and speaking his heart out. Returning the smile to her, he felt happy with himself for achieving a small wish he wanted, seeing her smile just because of him.
"Is just that I don't know what should I say when I see him" she sincerely said trying to look for an advise of him.
"Let your heart speak for you" he pointed to ward's her chest, demonstrating what he meant. Indeed, he was right. The only thing she needed to do was to be open about her feelings and how she felt tonight. No speech needed to be created, just let the words flood with her feelings.
"Thanks. I guess that's what I really need to do" the country bumpkin nodded to herself as she looked to the streeets, thinking and meditating.
"Remember Ga Eul, you're worth more than all the gold in the world, and if So Yi Jeong doesn't appreciate that, he really is doesn't know what he's missing" Yong Sook smiled to her and winked, not hesitating on the words he was openly using with her. Trying to be more frank with her.
The commoner felt a little of happiness blossom in her heart even when all this pain was too much for her. She really needed those kind of words.
"Now why don't we get you to your home before you get frozen out here?" he stood up and waited for her response. Standing a bit shy, she nodded.
Ga Eul accepted a ride from him as it was getting late and she could feel comfortable with him since she was sure he wouldn't make any questions about tonight. That's what she needed, to not think of what happened. Getting to her apartment and sleeping was a way to forget about everything for a moment, and she desired to get there soon.
After a couple of minutes, they arrived to her place. They never talked in the car as he knew she wasn't in the mood to have a conversation with him. Respecting that, he just let her think alone and sigh from time to time sad. But now that they were in front of her building, her face suddenly changed into a hopeful one, dreaming to get in bed already.
Turning to say goodbye to Yong Sook, she felt really grateful that he found her and brought her safely to her home. Bowing, she got out of the car and left to enter the building, glad that her parents haven't arrived or else she would had been in big trouble.
Showering and putting her pajamas seemed this time very hard for her as she didn't had the strength to do so. Laying in bed was the easiest part for her as she cuddled herself with a pillow. Her eyes were slowly tired of all the tears that came out, beginning to get dry. Soon, she found sleep and her pupils felt better as they could finally rest. Waking up from this sleep she didn't want but she knew that her eyes in some point would betray her and open to a new day. She just hoped that she could with her heart when she sees him tomorrow.
Hope you liked it!
Drama coming in the way!
