Chapter will be edited later for any errors. As always, its late here and Im tired .
Hope to see reviews as a reward.

Waiting for her answer seemed like an eternity as she kept silence and thought about his question. The anxiety he was feeling couldn't be describe. The pain in his heart was growing for each second that passed without her speaking a word but just staring at him completely nervous and unprepared to give him a truthful answer.
"You do like him, don't you?" he asked with hurt hinted on his voice, grabbing her arms with a strong grip and gritting his teeth.
Before she could even react to his same question, a knock was heard on the door and the two quickly glanced at the door.
"Ga Eul, open the door. I forgot my keys" the country bumpkin's eyes grew wide after she recognized the voice. It couldn't be possible how her parents could be there, soon after work. She didn't expected them at this time, and now she was trapped with the Casanova inside the apartment, without anywhere else to leave.
"Oh no! My parents" she exclaimed murmuring to him, very nervous of what she should do with this horrible situation.
"Then go open up the door" he suggested very calm, never having this kind of problem with no one since everyone treated him like royalty. But this was a different case, the commoner didn't want him to be seen there with her, their precious daughter alone with a guy in their home, no matter who was.
Slapping his arm, she thought he was making a joke and he shrug his shoulders offended of why she had to do that. "You need to hide" Ga Eul ordered him and his mouth became evidently opened, offended by her demand. But before he could even defend himself, she pushed him towards her room and closed the door, threatening him before running to the main door to open to her parents.
"What took you so long?" her mother asked the commoner and she felt a little nervous of responding with a lie.
"I was sleeping" she fidgeted her fingers, eyes moving around trying not to make eye contact with her.
"Are you sure?" the eyes of her dad meet hers with a serious gaze. "I heard someone else's voice here" he put the bags that he was carrying on the table, and slowly inspected her daughter's expression, not fully believing she was indeed sleeping.
"Who could be possibly be here besides me?" she laughed nervously while rubbing the back of her neck. This was more hard than she thought, and now Ga Eul was sure she was going to get caught. Nothing could escape the eyes of her father and lying to him in the first place for then to be discovered was going to bring her more problems than she already had.
Without telling her one word, he began his search through the living room, then the kitchen. The commoner would follow him behind, trying to invent a lie before he could get to her room.
"Appa, you're overreacting" she try to act offended by his distrust. Grabbing by his arm to get his attention wasn't working as he opened the door to his room, scanning the room and looking under the bed.
"Don't you trust your daughter?" she asked while he got up from the floor.
"I do. I just need to check no one is here" this was very contradictory of his part and she hated it when he talked like that, not knowing whether of the two was more truth than the other.
Knowing his next target was her room, she quickly went to the front of her door and stood there, waiting for her dad. "I'm telling you, there is NO ONE here" her voice became loud and obvious for So Yi Jeong to understand this was a code for him to hide, and she hoped he could do this favor for her before it could be too late.
"You hear me, NO ONE" her dad was now beside her and he felt annoyed by how her daughter was reacting.
"You don't need to scream, I'm beside you" he rubbed with his finger the outside of his ear, and looked at her very serious before entering.
"I can explain, dad" she quickly said before even glaring herself to her own room, thinking she was definitely catched having a guy in her room. But when she looked inside, there was no So Yi Jeong in sight and she sighed feeling relief for a moment, but then she remembered her previous words as her father turned around to see her face and wait to what she had to say.
"What do you have to explain to me?" he crossed his arms and waited beside the closet.
"I-I" she was playing nervously with her index fingers, not knowing what to say. Then, she glanced up to her dad and saw the face of the Casanova peeking out from her wardrobe, and the commoner quickly became alarmed and scared for this.
"You see, I was so sad for not telling you where I was last night that I needed to talk with someone, so..." she knew this was the most lamest lie she has ever told, but her chances of being discovered were increasing and she needed to somehow manage to escape from the suspicions of her dad.
"so I started talking to myself in another voice. I was scolding myself" her eyebrows lowered very serious, trying to maintain it that way.
"Bad Ga Eul, bad" she slapped herself on the hand, demonstrating him what she was supposedly doing before he got to his home.
Even when her father stared at her with a weird look as if she was crazy, he bought her story after nodding slowly, taking one last look around before leaving.
"We still need to talk" father Chu told her peeking out again to her room and she gave a little jump, scared. That was a close one since the Casanova was almost about to come out before that.
Thereafter she closed the door and put the lock just to be secure. Sighing, her adrenaline was little by little slowing down after almost getting into big trouble. So Yi Jeong opened the wardrobe's door and came out to meet her.
"What are we going to do?" she asked very preoccupied, walking from side to side thinking of any idea.
"Are you planning to keep me here?" the face of the potter showed surprise as he didn't expect this kind of situation, even more when the country bumpkin wanted to imprison him there, in a little room until her parents where out of sight.
"Of course not" her obvious tone made him offended in the inside but kept quiet as she was getting frustrated, murmuring to herself about the options she had in mind. Then she stopped walking and looked directly to the window from the distance. The Casanova followed her glare and grew wide his eyes, thinking the same as her.
"You're not thinking of doing that to me, are you?" he pointed towards the window and waited for her answer with his mouth hang open.
"Come on, you have to do it" swiftly she pushed him hard in the direction of the window and opened it.
The Casanova's grew more bigger and gasped, looking to how high they were. Gulping really hard, he shook his head and try to step back but Ga Eul kept pushing him to get outside, forcing him to jump.
"I can't. Don't do this to me" his head was outside but his body, trying to force himself back in, fighting against her strength.
"You can" she grabbed his leg and try to put it outside of the window but he insisted on not to.
"Do you want me to die?" he let out a scream before she could finally release him. Surrending to his strength and how he was feeling scared for her sudden horrorific idea of pushing him from a fifth floor.
"Fine" she crossed her arms and looked at him very serious, pursing to the side her lips. "What's your idea?" her voice got firm for how frustrated and angry she was at the potter at this moment.
"Idea? I can just walk out from here if I want" he pointed towards the door and wickedly smiled to her.
"You won't do that" she shook her head in disagreement while looking at him deathly serious.
"Watch me" a little devilish smile he showed her before turning his way in the direction of the door. His hand was almost reaching the doorknob when he was immediately stopped.
"Don't you think about opening it" she jumped on his back, grabbing his arm with one of her hands. Her other hand was just surrounding his neck from her to not lose her balance. So Yi Jeong was searching for air as she was choking him, forgetting he needed to open the door.
Slowly, he moved through the room trying to figure out how to escape from her killer arms, breathing hard. Ga Eul's free hand began to pull his hair for control but it wasn't working. Instantly after looking at the bed, an idea came right away from his head and walked with difficulty nearby the side of the bed.
Turning around, facing the back of it, he threw himself with Ga Eul behind him to the bed. His idea succeeded because the country bumpkin quickly removed her arms from his neck and let him breath. Now she was the one gasping for air as his weight was too much for her.
Trying now to push him, he smiled knowing he got her under his control now. Swiftly turning around to meet her face and body, she stood still looking nervously at his intense and sexy glare. But after a couple of seconds she snapped out of her trance and try to push him aside. This only made her win a hold of her hands with his, pressuring them against the covers of the bed.
Looking at him this close made her realize she missed him so much; his sweet touch, his entrancing eyes, and his provocative smile was making her heart beat more fast than ever before. The commoner hated this situation but st the same time she secretly enjoyed it.
So Yi Jeong took this opportunity to observe her beauty; her desirable lips, her round and cute cheeks, all of her delicate face was just admirable and delightful to watch. Slowly, his eyes were meeting hers more closely, wanting to see the feeling she had in her eyes, desiring to explain to her a million reasons of how he loves her with just a simple yet passionate glare.
Ga Eul could feel his heavy breathing over her, over her warm face. No word dare to come out of her mouth to complain, this was a moment even if she try with all of her strength to stop, her heart was letting herself truly express by just shutting up and let enjoy the quiet moment between them two.
For the first she did not care that a guy was on top of her, and mostly when they were on the side of the bed. They were just looking at each other intensely, no other actions were taken, even if the Casanova for a moment desire it. It wasn't his fault, he grew up bring surrounded by beautiful women, but this one, this one was specifically different from all of them. Ga Eul was his love one and the only girl who could make him feel like no other, not just his hormones but his entire heart was more warm with her being by his side.
The moment was abruptly interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. It wasn't the country bumpkin's door, but the main one. Swiftly she looked to the side, letting a disappointed So Yi Jeong desiring for a kiss of hers.
Harshly pushing him now to the side, she stood up and wondered who could it be at this time. Her parents where already there and the visits were strange. Putting her right ear over the door to listen better, she could hear her father walking to open the door, asking who was the person in the other side.
The eyes of the commoner grew wide as she heard clearly who was the unexpected visit. Hands meet her opened mouth as she didn't know what to do now. Then, without her realizing the presence of the Casanova being behind her, she turned around and glance at him nervously, not expecting this proximity between them again.
The potter looked at her confused while he rubbed the back of his neck. "You need to stay here. I will be right back" she said and whirled around to grab the doorknob.
"What is going on?" he asked a bit curious for her sudden disturbed face.
"Nothing" the commoner laughed nervously and went to open the door. Before she could close it again, a hand stopped her from doing so and turned to see an upset yet offended So Yi Jeong glaring to the living room.
"What is-" she covered his mouth from being heard and took him once again inside her room, closing and locking the door.
The potter quickly yanked off her hand and looked at her with a shocked expression. "What is he doing here?" he asked pointed towards the direction of the door getting mad.
"First, is none of your business. Second, I don't know" Ga Eul pointed at him with her index finger, scolding him for acting like that.
"I'm going to see why he's here" she said and decided to leave once again.
"And I'm going too" a jealous So Yi Jeong let it clear that he wasn't going to just wait for her and let that bastard have a good time with her and who knows if with her parents too. Agonizing in her room wasn't an option he was willing to take just because the commoner asked him to do.
Walking towards the door very decided,not thinking of the consequences and the awkward position he would be in if her parents discovered him after all, he just cared to know what the other guy was doing here, obviously looking for his Ga Eul.
"So Yi Jeong sunbae, don't do this" she grabbed his hand and try to pull him away the door, but her strength was in vain as he was furious and wasn't listening to her.
Attempting to not let him get away was difficult for her and she needed to somehow stop him. "Stop there" she warned him one last time, thinking an idea that was against her manners and her way of leading this kind of problems.
But when she saw how So Yi Jeong was swiftly moving his hand to touch the doorknob, that's when she had it. "Don't say I didn't warn you, So Yi Jeong sunbae" quickly pulling a drawer, she grabbed an item that the commoner never thought she was indeed going to use it.
Pushing the trigger, the electrical current quickly disrupted his voluntary control of muscles, making him fall to the floor in a matter of seconds. The Casanova gritted his teeth in pain, not being able to move by himself.
Throwing the taser to the floor really scared, she went quickly to him and looked at him frightened that she could have caused him some damage. But after seeing him breathing normally and not moving because of the pain, she felt relief he was fine in some way.
"You see, this is what you make me do" the country bumpkin accused him for such act, making him guilty for her own actions.
"Ga Eul! Come here right now"that was her mother's voice and she knew he was asking for her. She needed to act quickly of what she was going to do with the Casanova. Even when he was all thrown on the floor recovering from the electrocution, Ga Eul he was going to be fine all by himself.
Pulling him away from the door, So Yi Jeong groan for the pain he was feeling, for how Ga Eul had the audacity of doing so and how she was going to meet now that jerk, leaving him behind all in pain. The country bumpkin was definitely going to pay for what she did, that's what he thought.
"I will be right back" she murmured to him, feeling sorry for abandoning him in this state of his.
Closing the door slowly and without making any noise, she turned around just to see her mother looking at her. A little jump she gave scared and exhaled calmly.
"What's wrong with you? You're acting very strange today" her mom try to look behind her, giving suspicion to what could she have behind that door after getting out of there without wanting to make any sound.
"Umma, is nothing, really" she leaned her head to the side, trying to block her mother's view from curiously glance at the door.
"Hmm.. okay" a serious glare she gave before co tinge talking "there's someone who's looking for you. He says he wants to talk with us in your presence" she said before turning to walk straight to the living room, signaling her daughter to follow her.
The paces of the country bumpkin were slow as she didn't know the reason of why he could be here, boldly presenting himself and without a permission to her own parents. It smelled like trouble to her and she didn't like this unexpected event without telling her before.
"Annyonghaseyo, Ga Eul" he bowed in her presence knowing he needed to show her respect in front of her parents. The commoner did the same and greet him very confused while her parents cautiously looked at the two of them I interacting with each other.
"The reason of my visit is to apologize for how I disgracefully took your daughter last night without announcing such action to her parents. My intentions were harmless as I just invited her to come over to an event, not expecting for her to fall asleep" he paused and glanced at her father and mother looking at him attentively while sitting down on the other couch that was in front of him. The tone of his voice sounded very confident of himself, not hesitating for a split second.
"As I didn't knew where she lives and how lazy at words she could be when she sleeps, I decided to take her to my home. Of course, my parents where there and we placed her in a comfortable and lonely room. If you would like to corroborate the truth of my story, here's the phone number of my parents" passing them a little note with the numbers on it, the Chu father looked at him very serious trying to see if he lied by the look in his eyes, but a smile and bright eyes was all he could see in the boy.
"We believe you" Ga Eul's father said slow and carefully, thinking before finishing the sentence. Her mother was completely surprised by the well-mannered boy and how he respecfully came in person to explain what happened before the country bumpkin could suffer the consequences and get grounded.
"Then, I guess that now that is all cleared up, I may leave" he stood and sigh feeling calm and relief. Bowing to her parents and Ga Eul herself.
"Wait" her mother stopped him and looked at her husband. "He can't go like that, right?" she waited for a response the men who she married, but he sjsut stared at her confused.
"We insist you stay for dinner" the country bumpkin's mother looked at him with a sweet glare, putting together her hands beside her right cheek, smiling to the boy.
"I-I don't know. If that's what Ga Eul wants" Yong Sook looked at the commoner with a hopeful expression, waiting for her to accept the invitation that her mother was giving to him.
Nodding slowly, she had no other choice but to be polite and eat with them. It was the right thing to do as he saved her from this one, this was the least she could do for him.
A smile appeared on her lips while looking at him giving her a wink and a grin. This made her heart feel a little strange, but the feeling was unknown for her; being grateful or blossoming love was the question her heart was asking her. Even when the commoner didn't knew how he could imagine this would happened to her and come to the rescue, she felt more than happy for having him there with her, sharing with him long stares that meant 'thank you'.
Each one of the four was sitting alone at the four side of the long rectangular table. Ga Eul's parents were facing and the country bumpkin with Yong Sook.
Lots of compliments were given to each other; some about the food, other about how well-mannered was the boy. The Chu mom would make little hints inside her sentences of how her daughter should be dating someone like him. This would only make the commoner get embarrassed and all shy by their boldly comments and open opinions about the same boy that was witnessing all the scene and lines in it.
Even though they had some uncomfortable moments during the dinner, Yong Sook couldn't stop smiling while looking at Ga Eul with a sweet and caring eyes while her parents gave him anecdotes of her childhood embarrassing moments. This would lead him to sometimes laugh, and others to sigh for how innocent it seem to him the stories that they told him about her.
They were really enjoying the time together, and mostly being with what seem for a moment strict but sweet and funny parents of the country bumpkin. But then she realized there was another soul in their home, someone who she completely forgot about for a moment.
The eyes of the commoner darted quickly at the boy who slowly was sneaking out of her room. Eyes grew big as she didn't know what to do. Her index finger cautiously went in front of her lips indicating him to stay quiet and get in the room, but So Yi Jeong didn't obeyed and kept walking carefully to their direction until he looked to his side, inside the kitchen.
Not realizing after she gasped that Yong Sook was looking at her with a weird glare, she returned a smile to him very innocent, pretending that nothing has happened. But inside her mind she kept cursing for how So Yi Jeong could do this to her.
The Casanova quickly entered to the kitchen and she noticed it, glancing worried to the corridor that was now empty.
"Is there something wrong?" Yong Sook asked preoccupied and turned to look to the direction she was staring at, not understanding her scared expression.
"No, not at all" her voice try sound calm, smiling at him and he parents who were watching her now confused.
Right after her words, she choked with the water she was drinking, looking how the potter swiftly got out of the kitchen, holding a pan in his hand. Her water spilled down on her shirt as she coughed nervously, hitting herself on the chest.
"Let me help you" Yong Sook told her and was about to stand up.
"NO!" without managing to control her voice, she screamed at him unintentionally. The face of the painter was surprised to see this sudden and weird reaction of her while still sitting on the floor, not daring to move now.
It was evidently the reason for her scream was not only because Yong Sook could caught So Yi Jeong present there but because the position the potter had the pan had no friendly intention to meet Yong Sook's head.
Time was running out for her as she glanced horrified for how the Casanova was slowly approaching to the dinner room from the corridor, holding the pan with his two hands raised over his head. His face changed into a more furious one each step he took, aware that he was going to create a weird yet complicated scene for her parents to understand.
Ga Eul would make signals with her hands to him, warning him that the actions he could take now would have more consequences. It was difficult for her to make him understand as Yong Sook and her parents where there, almost watching her all the time. The co conversations kept going on whole the commoner just stood quiet, trying to look over the head of the boy in front of her who was paying attention to the words exchanged between him and the the mother of Ga Eul.
It was hard for So Yi Jeong to just stand there and not do anything. He wanted to kill him for being so bold and enter to his girl's home and eat dinner with her parents. It was supposed to be him instead of that jerk being there all sat, listening to the friendly stories and harmless jokes of the ones who he was assumed to meet one day; the most special persons of his country bumpkin, but now it was ruined by his fault. Ironically he was hiding from them now.
The Casanova was just a few steps away from his target: the head of Yong Sook. The pan was still raised on top of his head, gaining more strength before he could land it over him. But when he took a glimpse of the country bumpkin begging him with her hands to just hide and not make any scandal, his gaze changed.
Thoughts rushed to his mind of how ignorant of his part was going to be if he indeed planned to hit Yong Sook on the head right in front of her parents. This wasn't him, this wasn't his character or the way to handle the situations, but what could he do after seeing how his girl was slowly falling into that guys arms? So Yi Jeong was desperate and watching all the scene without being part of it was making him feel worse, very sad.
Lowering the pan, the disappointment on his face could be seen by Ga Eul, who felt terrible for forgetting about him and letting him alone. She knew what he was feeling inside, but it was himself and his feelings who put them in this situation. Feeling sorry wasn't going to fix the problem at all, she didn't knew what to do. Her heart was giving her trouble with who to stay, but it was more than clear than So Yi Jeong had made before decisions that affected their relationship, she needed to let him go, but how when she the only thing that desired was to be with him?
Taking a last glance to her parents, she stood up with a sad expression and they looked at her waiting for an explanation. "I'm really tired" she declared to them and stared at Yong Sook who seemed embarrassed by how he lost the track of time and not leaving before he could indirectly hear it was time for him to go.
"I'm sorry, Yong Sook sunbae" she really felt that way. Staying for long was what she wished, but her mind couldn't stop thinking about the Casanova.
"You don't have to be. I've stayed for too long and its too late" he stood and her parents too, disappointed that he was leaving after a great conversation they had for the night with the young boy.
"My apologies" bowing and showing respect to them, he followed Ga Eul to the door, who opened it for him to go.
Before he could totally leave, she thank him for what his help and how he sabes her from being grounded. The promise of talking to him tomorrow was made, agreeing to see each other at school.
Getting to her room was a bit difficult since her parents couldn't stop talking about how a gentlemen and sweet Yong Sook, claiming that was the ideal boyfriend for her to have. The only one who to her father's eyes could have a little of his approval. The subject about him was making her dizzy and ashamed for how her parents could tend to try to control her.
Finally, glancing to the door of her room, she sighed feeling a little anxious and nervous for the boy who was still trapped in there. Grabbing the doorknob and turning it, she opened it very slow and peeked carefully. So Yi Jeong was sitting on her bed, his hunched back was all she could see of him.
Closing and locking without doing any sound that could alarm him that someone was in there, she walked to the other side of the bed. When she sat, that's when he noticed her presence, but he didn't even turned his head to look at her. This made Ga Eul sad and crushed.
The country bumpkin could feel his depressing state, but there was no other option than to see him suffer, not because she wanted and did it on purpose but because everything she did was affecting him and the commoner couldn't prevent it.
A grieved sigh was made by him and she had the urge to just comfort him, touch him to indicate she was ther for him. Sitting down on her legs, Ga Eul placed her hands over his shoulder not knowing what to or how to say it.
"So Yi Jeong sunbae" the need of changing the subject, even though they hadn't started a conversation, was making her feel uneasy.
Sniffing his shoulder, she gave a yuck sound and he turned to see her face, offended yet embarrassed that this was the first time a girl was using a despective sound of him.
"You really need a shower" she advised him after smelling the alcohol his clothes had since yesterday. Ashamed he was the hasn't changed, and blaming the country bumpkin for not being at his home all cozy and clean was all he could say to her.
"Yes, and I will have it as soon as I get out of here" he stood up and looked at her, forgetting how he was feeling a second ago. He was the famous Casanova from the F4 and it was a dishonor to be looking like a pig.
Seeing that he was making the move to leave, the commoner took his arm and shook her head. "You still can't go. My parents could hear you walking out of here" that was her excuse as she was afraid that after a long time of successfully not being discovered, he could blow up everything in a matter of seconds.
"Yah! Ga Eul, are trying to keep me here as a hostage?" he looked offended to her, thinking that this was a bad idea of hers.
Slowly nodding, his mouth hang opened not believing she just confirmed what he just asked. No girl held him like "prisoner" in their house, but now here he was, following a country bumpkin's order.
Spending the night with her seem an opportunity to be close to her when she really desired the opposite. This was a chance to win her heart and openly talk to her about his feelings. But even if all those positive thoughts came into his mind, there where rather dirty ones that he try to shook off his head. It wasn't his fault most of his life he has been with many different girls, but this commoner was different from all of them and after seeing her with that dress at the club, it completely changed his perspective of Ga Eul's skinny body to a voluminous one.
The hormones of the potter were going crazy each time a smutty thought came into his mind. Trying to look away from her was going to be a very difficult mission. It was hard for him to control himself. Obviously the night where he stayed with her at the hospital and at the beach sleeping was very different; people was around them, even if not momentarily present but he acknowledged that those weren't places to even kiss.
Shaking his head more, he was going crazy to even think about touching Ga Eul. She was very innocent and he wanted to keep it that way. That's why any male who wanted to approach her could feel the Casanova's jealous glare towards them, watching carefully nobody even touched her.
"Are you fine, So Yi Jeong sunbae?" she asked trying to look at him in the face, but he would just turn his back to her.
"Ne" he said in a low voice, exhaling and inhaling deeply before turning to see her, forcing a smile on his lips.
Returning a grin to him, she felt relief he was feeling now better, or that's what she thought. Then she turned to look for a towel and found it. Raising her hands towards the Casanova now, she offered him the towel and he got confused by this.
"For me?" he pointed to himself while grabbing the fabric with his other hand.
"Yes. The bathroom is beside this room, so we won't have any problems of getting caught, of course, if we are cautious" she smiled to him and waved her hand to her direction, signaling him to follow her lead.
Slowly he did so as she was peeking out of the door, scanning the corridor and checking her parents where not in sight. Opening the door slightly, she pulled So Yi Jeong's arm very hard and made him enter quickly to the bathroom.
"Mom, dad... I will be taking a shower" she announced to them but no response was given. This was just a way to secure themselves.
Walking in the bathroom, she closed the door and turned to see a shirtless So Yi Jeong taking almost his pants off now. Ga Eul turned swiftly and scared for what she behold in just a second, gasping and blushing.
"Yah! Ga Eul, why you entered like that?" he asked while zipping his pants again, not daring to move from where he was at, embarrassed that the commoner got to see him like that, not because he was ashamed of his body but because it was clearly evident that the country bumpkin never looked at any male's body this closely and personally.
Even thought it resulted to be an awkward moment, he couldn't stop the smirk that was forming on his lips after seeing how she placed both of her hands over her eyes. That was just the cutest and purest thing he has ever seen; not being capable to look at his body.
"I-I have to be hear just in case my parents decide to go to my room. I don't want them see me there, and then freak out knowing there's someone else besides me here" it was an understandable reason, but still, it felt uncomfortable having to shower with a girl like her being present and mostly when he was trying to conceal his hormones from doing things he didn't want to.
Nodding and telling her it was fine was a lie. He wasn't at all.
Entering to take a shower, he obviosuly noticed how small the room was for him, never being at a poor and tiny place. It was all new to him and even when he wasn't planning to get accustomed to it, it felt nice to be sharing this kind of experience with the country bumpkin.
Showering took him long and Ga Eul was getting frustrated and desperate to get out of there as she was still standing in front of the door like a kid who was scold and grounded. Her hands never left from co wrong her eyes.
The water stopped and she sigh feeling relief that this was almost over. But then again, there was something she forgot about.
"I think we forgot the fact that I don't have clothes and in not going to use the same one" he peeked his head out of the curtain to look at her, worried for what they were going to do now.
Not thinking about this before was stupid of herself. What she could possibly do now that he was completely naked waiting for clothes? Her father could have some, but it was going to seem strange for her to just grab some and be interrogated by why she was looking for his clothes.
"I know" she clapped her hands together and turned to see who she thought was still inside the shower. Eyes grew wide as she rapidly whirled around again after seeing how So Yi Jeong had only the towel around his hips, letting show his whole chest and surprisively-tone body.
"We definitely to get out of here" she murmured to herself before opening a bit the door and checking to both sides that her parents wouldn't be in sight.
This time she didn't dare to touch his hand and pulled him over to her room. The country bumpkin was embarrassed to even look at him. So Yi Jeong just walked quickly inside the room and she locked the door.
Now the tension grew more. None of them dare to glance at each other, feeling nervous for what was happening between them. Ga Eul crossed her arms looking outside to the window, wondering why in the world she was the one out of all the girls to get in trouble this night. Never she imagined having a boy in there with her, naked, and not for the reasons any dirty-minded person could think but because it was a series of unfortunate events that lead them to this awkward situation of not having the courage to meet the eyes of the other just to communicate and get out of this.
Then a quivery sound came outside his lips and she heard it clearly, noticing he was getting cold for not having clothes on to warm him. Turning to the direction of her drawers, she looked for some big clothes that could fit him in while he stared incredulously to her.
"Oh no! I'm not going to wear your clothes" he pointed towards a big-sized fuchsia pants she was holding now on her arms while searching for a shirt.
Ignoring his complains, she took a large white blouse that was neatly folded. The eyes of the commoner inspected the size of them just to see if it could fit him. Then she swiftly offered them to him while looking to another direction, not wanting to see his discovered chest.
"Aish! I can't believe I'm doing this for you" even when his voice sounded annoyed by the moment he had to went through, Ga Eul couldn't stop her cheeks from getting pink for the last two words he said. It was true, he could just walk out from here without caring what her parents could do after with her, but he stood and did as the country bumpkin told him. This was making her heart feel more warm being by his side right now, and having that feeling of butterflies flying inside her stomach.
"Put it on quickly" she demanded him as she walked to a corner and placed her hands once again over her eyes, just in case no visual accident could happen.
"I would but I have another problem" he paused, feeling a bit embarrassed for the first time since he was talking with a girl who has never had an experience with a guy.
"What is it now?" she asked getting annoyed and mad.
"I forgot my underwear in the bathroom" this made her blush badly knowing she couldn't let him get his own...thing for himself. It was her this time who needed to pick up the piece of clothing that she never had touched, and even less when a men had already wore it.
Giving a groan, she turned with her eyes always looking to the floor. "I will look for it" she said and opened the door, not before telling him to lock it.
A smile came across his face while he remembered the expression of his Ga Eul looking at him. No girl has never done that before, and it felt special in a way. It was very sweet to watch for the first time the reaction of an innocent girl looking at his body and get all shy and nervous around him.
While the commoner took her time to see how she will pick out the underwear without touching it with her own hands, So Yi Jeong began to examine every part of her room. Looking through her stuff was interesting, it gave him the opportunity to expand more the knowledge of what she liked or what she not.
Photos of her childhood were displayed over her drawers, and he sweetly caressed his fingers over the enormous and round cheeks she had in the picture, smiling sweetly for how loving she looked.
But suddenly his eyes where fixed on something else that caught the most of his attention, a thing that was hanging a bit outside a drawer and he slowly pulled it out. A giggle escaped away from his lips as he hold it in front of his face, examining it and smiling.
Curiosity got the best of him and he opened the drawer from where the thing came from, looking now at many more of them. He knew he was being bold by doing this but he just wanted to see it, wondering how they all looked.
Unexpectedly, the door opened and it was none other than Ga Eul. About to scold him for not putting on the lock, she glanced at him with shocked eyes.
Giving a little run to him, she yanked off of his hand what he was holding. A nervous and ashamed smile appeared on his face, not knowing how to react to this.
"What are you doing with my underwear!?" even if it sounded like a question, it was more the surprise of him getting caught looking at it.
"Why you had this in your hands?" she asked angry yet embarrassed.
"I don't know, they just grabbed them" he shrugged his shoulder and raised his hands, blaming them.
Giving him a serious glare, she turned to put her panties inside the drawer, closing it very hard as she was angry.
"Ga Eul, all those gifts from your grandma?" he was definitely teasing her now. He try to hold his laugh but he couldn't. The joke was never to harmful or to hurt her feelings, indeed he loved that of her and he didn't knew why. That was another proof she was different from others.
Rapidly she started to hit him on the chest, angry at his comment. "Besides being a pervert, a jerk too" the country bumpkin totally about the not-staring rule while he was in a towel still.
Little punches were given to him while he just smiled for her reaction. Adoring to watch her go mad at him and trying to hurt him with her delicate and sweet hands.
After a couple of seconds, he grabbed her wrists in a tight grip while he took his moment to get close to her, wanting her to feel nervous by looking intensely into her eyes. This was just a technique for her to calm down. After that he let her go and she walked up fastly to the corner, ordering him now to put on the clothes.
Doing as she said, he hated the idea of wearing women's clothes. Feeling tight was a problem for him as he never slept with clothes, just his underwear. But now that he was in Ga Eul's home, he wanted to please her and made her feel comfortable.
When the commoner took a look at him, she laughed carelessly, pressing against her stomach for the pain that was coming for all the laugh. So Yi Jeong looked at her mad serious while she just invented girl names for him.
Now that it was time to go to sleep, there was a huge problem of who was going to sleep in the bed as there was not even a small couch where any of them could lay their body.
Ga Eul was accustomed to have him by her side, but not like in this situation. It was hard for her to not grew completely nervous and get noticed by the Casanova.
The option of sleeping on the cold floor was made by the potter but the country bumpkin insisted that he couldn't let him sleep like that. Other option was for her to sleep on a small chair which So Yi Jeong quickly rejected.
The decision was final: the two of them were going to had to share the same bed. Both of then were having their own difficulties as the Casanova was fighting against his crazy hormones while the commoner was feeling uncomfortable and scared to have him by her side.
Both agreed that each one would sleep in each side of the bed, backs facing the other. That way none would feel incommodious and awkward by looking at each one's eyes.
Suddenly, Ga Eul remembered how it used to be when they were together. How in the nights he would text or call her for a 'good night'. Now it was odd yet funny to have him there, by her side, sharing the same bed but not in the same kind of relationship she wanted them to be.
"Ga Eul, are you asleep?" he asked in a low voice, not turning to see her hut just glancing at the window to outside.
The country bumpkin thought about it for a second of whether to respond or stay quiet. She was afraid of what could it be, and being prepared for anything she wasn't. Deciding to act like if she was already sleeping, she felt bad doing so.
She heard a sigh, it came from him. "It's funny how we always end up together in any circumstance yet we can't figure how to work this relationship out" he paused and waited for any answer to be given, but nothing. That confirmed she was "asleep".
"I miss you, Ga Eul. You don't how much" he places his hands under his head, still looking to outside the window, meditating on his words.
"I'm not going to lie, my heart seemed troubled at first, but when I lost you, that's when I could recognize the words of 'you don't know what you have until you lost it'" a yawn unexpectedly he let out as he was getting drowsy.
"Now I know that I have lost the most valuable and beautiful gem that I could ever have, and that is you Ga Eul" this time he turned to look at her, and sensing this she closed her eyes quickly even if he still couldn't see her face.
Those words stung her heart. It melted her completely and made her realize he was indeed sorry for his consequences, but still, her mind was having still lots of doubts. Even when he could apologize a million times, her memories came back to that betrayal scene and then to Eun Jae. The country bumpkin felt little, inferior to her, always comparing herself with the female potter and how she could fulfill any desire that So Yi Jeong could have. She was the quiet and shy girl who isn't open in the way lots of men would expect a female to be, and the Casanova was one of them. Maybe Eun Jae could give him everything she didn't had; from emotionally to physically.
Soon enough after a lot of thinking, she closed her eyes and found her way to sleep, leaving a desperate So Yi Jeong turning from a side to another, trying to control himself. But after a couple of minutes of struggling, he finally fell asleep too. And the two stood in the same positions, not moving for anything.
