I think the story is finally going to have an end soon.
Please leave a review! Very important for me!
Enjoy!
The unknown location of where she was going to stayat with the F4 was frustrating her, not knowing what clothes to choose for the occasion. Only her pajamas were secured to go, but the other remain in doubt. Clothes were thrown to the bed or the floor, picking different styles for any situation. Loud sighs she let out while looking through her closet. It was definitely annoying to even think that she was indeed giving importance to such thing.
Zipping on her suitcase, she threw her body to the bed, wondering what was going to be being around them once again after a long time. The thoughts of having confrontations with the Casanova was making her feel anxious for all of this to end. Even though Jan Di was right, the country bumpkin couldn't help but to feel uncomfortable in his presence. The decision was already made and there was no backing away now, the commoner needed to go and boost her confidence, strengthen her weaknesses.
Putting a fist in the air, she exclaimed to herself "Fighting!" knowing that the two days could be endure.
Thereafter a loud noise came from her cellphone, it was the sound of a pig, and she realized who was the person calling her. That only ringtone belonged to someone special.
"Yoboseyo?" she pursed her lips like a kid, not wanting to talk with the one who boldly drag her into these.
"I'm on my way" the loudness noise of the car made it obvious and she rolled her eyes, annoyed to even hear his voice.
"I'm getting picked up" Ga Eul told him, a evil grin forming on her mouth while grabbing the suitcase, walking out of her room towards the main door of the apartment.
"Wh-what?" he couldn't believe her words. After a long ride she decided to now tell him that someone else was coming for her and that upset him. But a little thought came into his mind, an imagination that he felt possible.
"Is it possible another F4 is looking for you?" his voice irritated her as she knew what Woo Bin try to meant with that. Standing now by the door, a vibration came from her phone and swiftly checked who sent her a text message.
I'm here. Yong Sook
"Yo' Ga Eul" the F4 member thought for a moment that the call was cut. Glancing to the screen phone while driving, he sigh desperate that she wasn't paying him attention.
"He's here for me, goodbye" hanging the call, she opened the door and gave a small jump, scared by the sudden and unexpected presence of Yong Sook, who was standing still in the front.
"Sunbae...you scared me" her hand was placed on top of her heart, a little vexed for the surprise.
"Did you bring winter clothes?" Yong Sook totally ignored her, getting to the point before leaving.
Even though Geum Jan Di didn't support the idea of the painter coming with them and even more when the F4 didn't know it, she had no other choice but to give him the location of the place. Ga Eul would get them lost if it was for her to give directions. The only wish she hoped for, was that the guys wouldn't get angry at her and deep inside of her she wished too for the sake of Yong Sook, feeling a little nervous for what could happen to him.
Moving slowly her head from side to side, the painter slightly pushed her aside and boldly walked to the direction of her room. The country bumpkin's mouth hang open, not believing how shameless the boy could turn to be. Following soon to stop him from enntering to her bedroom, a hand grabbed the back of his shirt and try to pulled him away, but her strength was in vain as the boy, without having to use force, open and entered the room easily.
A smirk appear on his face looking at the colorful yet mature decoration. This was his first time to get in there and the feeling of getting into her personal space was amazing, believing this could get them even more close. There was nothing to hide from each other, and have the audacity to invade her room was something he considered normal. Acknowledging by Ga Eul's personality, the assumption of being the one to take the first step towards her and her feelings was just wrong, as the commoner was getting really upset with him for being an intruder.
Arms were crossed as she observed how Yong Sook opened her closet and took some jackets and trench coats, putting them over her bed while looking for some gloves and winter caps. Not to forget a pair of boots.
"All done" a triumphant smile he gave and looked at the commoner, who was still angrily frowning, not speaking a word to him.
Yong Sook walked out of her room, picking the most he could and glancing down to the other clothes that he couldn't take to the luggage, indicating Ga Eul to pick then up. A heavy and annoyed sigh she gave beore doing so, completely against to what he just did.
Repentant of inviting him she was for a moment, but then the country bumpkin remembered he was only doing it for her safety, guaranteeing her health from not getting sick.
The ride was long and desperating. Words were exchanged frequently about the view or the description of the place they were visiting. Yong Sook had come before and to his point of view it sounded like fun. Funny experiences of him and his family he told to make the tense decreased after what happened in her home, realizing later when he put in the luggage her clothes that Ga Eul was mad at him. The commoner would force a laugh but the cranky mood was still there, getting higher each time a sign let them know they were more near to their destination.
"Why you have to do this?" out of nowhere asked a preoccupied Yong Sook, taking a quick glimpse of her face expression before turning his eyes to the road.
That moment she realized there was no solid reason to explain. What Jan Di told her maybe influenced her a bit, but there was something more, something that only deep in her heart she would admit only to herself. But denying it seem more easy for her and for her complicated feelings thy were mixed at the moment.
"They are my friends and they deserve some of my time" that was the only reason she could think of the moment and she congratulated herself for easily finding a lie that could sound realistic.
Yong Sook nodded slowly, pretending to believe her, but he knew more than anyone that maybe this was just a way to stay close to the Casanova but from a fair distance. It resulted to him very annoying and unfair how that potter effortlessly took her heart, not giving any chance to any other boy to even try to make a simple move on her.
All those days with her were fantastic, amazing sometimes. But patience he gained during that course, enduring the monotonous conversations of every day. So Yi Jeong was the name that remained present in each of their various talks. The painter doubted all that period if she really knew how he felt about it. There was never a declaration of love for her, only that time when they were at the hospital. Maybe she forgot his words, but how she could erase from her head those strong words that he has never said before?. It seem that the commoner was indeed avoiding those feelings, wanting to believe he changed during the time.
A sigh he gave, frustrated for all that thinking, not noticing Ga Eul was now looking at him with concern. "What's the matter?" she asked and kept glaring at him with a preoccupied stare.
That's when he realized the action he made and quickly turned to see her. A big smile he forced to act like everything was fine. "I'm just tired, that's all" lying wasn't something he liked to do with her but it was better than speaking what his mind and heart were feeling at the moment in an awkward space while he was driving.
The country bumpkin nodded and return her gaze to the road, a little careless to discover what was really going on with him.
Finally they got to their destination. The hotel was huge covered with with the white snow that was slowly beginning to fall. People came in and out with their winter clothes and ski, wearing a huge smile on their face. Ga Eul's face was squashed against the glass admiring the beautiful place, having her mouth with open.
Yong Sook soon parked the car in front of the entrance, giving the keys to the employee. Their luggages were taken inside while Ga Eul looked to her surroundings astounded. The painter smiled at her reaction, entertaining himself with her funny expressions.
Suddenly, the pig noise came again from her cellphone and Yong Sook stared at her with a weird look, but before she could explain to him why the ringtone, she decided to answer first.
"Where are you, Ga Eul?" the voice of the Don Juan seem a bit upset and there was no doubt of why. "And with who?" that was the question that made her devilish smile.
"I'm right now inside, at the lobby" she informed him with a proud tone, imagining the face of her friend and how he was feeling in this moment.
But before anything could be further say, she turned to see the F4 standing shock at the stairs, it was clear they were already check-in. Woo Bin slowly lowered his phone, getting angry at what he was watching while Geum Jan Di swiftly placed her hands on her eyes, not wanting to see the awkward situation.
Glad they were that So Yi Jeong wasn't there at the moment or who knows how he could have reacted. But they perceived and knew this was the beginning of a weekend with lots of tension coming on, and they only knew the reason for now. The country bumpkin was about to discover it for herself soon.
Walking down the stairs, the Don Juan meet her and took a serious glance at the boy that stood behind her. "What is he doing here?" asked mad, not caring if the painter was present and listening to his unhappy question.
"I invited him" she gladly said, turning to grab Yong Sook's arm and approximating him to her side. There was a wicked smile on the commoner's face that made him sensed this was a revenge from her and it surely pissed him off.
The other soon join them and the little space between was filled with tension, not knowing what to say. The guys just give dead glares to Yong Sook, threatening him with their stares.
"I think we should just go outside and ski" Geum Jan Di laughed nervously putting herself in the middle of the F3 nd the painter, pushing them away from each other. That's when the guys snapped out of their staring contest and looked at each other with an unease yet serious expression.
"I'm going to check us in" Yong Sook told the country bumpkin in front of them and they all arched an eyebrow. Those words didn't meant something good and keeping their arms crossed and silence wasn't their style nor the way to leave it like that.
"You don't mean to stay in the same room with him, right?" asked Ji Hoo a bit preoccupied, glancing at her calm gaze.
"I-I..." stuttering, she didn't know what to say. They were right. Yong Sook was a great friend, but sleeping in the same room could become really awkward and uncomfortable. The guys crossed their arms, waiting for an answer, looking at her very confused.
Suddenly, before she could give a proper answer, her eyes rapidly glance to another direction, sensing the presence of someone familiar. The country bumpkin grew nervous yet sad when she saw who was accompanying the Casanova. Both of them were walking down the stairs, smiling and laughing to each other, still not noticing the five pair of eyes who turned to look at them.
Inevitable was for her to keep staring at them, desiring to be in her position, yet again, she try convince herself that So Yi Jeong was nothing for her heart, even if it was already burning inside, suffering for the scene she had to witness. But this is what the commoner wanted, she asked for it, but now that it was happening right in front of her eyes, it hurt her. The words last spoken to him were a terrible mistake, that's what her hear was feeling. Even though it was the right thing to do, that's what her conscience was telling her.
For an instance, the potter and the country bumpkin's eyes met and she swiftly turned to see her friends, scared for getting caught staring. Soon enough, Eun Jae and the Casanova joined them, but before they could greet them, Ga Eul spoke. "Yes, I will be staying with him" all eyes were fixed on her, even So Yi Jeong, who try to decipher what she was speaking of.
"But you can stay with us" Geum Jan Di pointed herself and Eun Jae, not clearly happy with the answer her best friend gave. All the others just kept looking at her with a serious gaze, like brothers trying to protect their little sister.
"Sorry, but I already paid for two" Yong Sook joined and showed them the keys with an awkward gaze.
"You can't" Woo Bin told her, never looking at the painter for he not care of what he thought.
"You're staying with the girls" Gu Jun Pyo declared with an annoyed tone, wanting to just go out and have fun with his girlfriend.
Ga Eul's head was lowered, intending to keep it like that since the sight of them was hurting her. She really try to contain those feelings in a cage, closing them until they could die, but each time she saw the Casanova her heart couldn't stop beating fast and those feelings were immediately free again. Yong Sook placed a hand on top of her shoulder and gave her a smile, letting know she had his back.
"I'm sorry" those were the only two words said before walking away with the painter, leaving them agape for her decision.
So Yi Jeong stood there, wanting to do something but he wasn't anymore someone to even have a talk with her. The thought of Ga Eul sleeping with that jerk repulse him, awfully imagining Yong Sook touching his dear ex girlfriend. Even though they were separated, the Casanova felt the need to protect her from anything and anyone, and that bastard wasn't an exception.
Before and during their relationship he noticed the innocence of Ga Eul. It gave him joy know he was the first person she kissed, making the potter feel special in many different ways. The memories of them in the bathroom came into his mind too; she was nervous to even catch a glance of his body and he loved that. Every girl felt nervous being around him but for other reasons, like risking of being rejected at any second from him. But Ga Eul was different, the cause of her nervousness was just because of the sight she had from him half naked, when every other girl he had been with wanted to furiously snatched his clothes off immediately if he gave the opportunity.
Looking at the pair climbing up the stairs with Yong Sook's hand behind her lower back got him really angry and frustrated. He definitely needed to do something.
After installing themselves in their hotel room, both went outside with ski that the painter brought himself. Everyone was out there having fun; Gu Jun Pyo miraculously laughed and enjoyed the clumsiness of his girlfriend, Geum Jan Di. The Casanova try to teach Eun Jae how to ski by taking her hands and drag her around the snow, smiling each time she could it by herself. Woo Bin obviously was hitting on some girls, never losing his time to have fun.
Yong Sook and the country bumpkin began to ski too. Laughs were to be heard all the time when one of them would fall on their butt to the snow. Sometimes they would climb more higher to ski more fast, always holding each other's hands just in case.
The jealous stare of someone went unnoticed. Ga Eul was having too much fun to glance at a serious potter looking to their direction, and Eun Jae clearly noticed.
"What's the matter?" the female potter asked holding the hands of So Yi Jeong while he was looking away from her. "You seem bother for something, or I should someone" there was no hint of jealousy in her voice, just curiosity.
Her words quickly made him react. "Yah! Eun Jae, stop talking nonsense" he was clearly offended and angry by her observation. It was true but accepting it was something he couldn't.
Thereafter Woo Bin struck up a conversation with his best friend, leaving Eun Jae for a second alone, practicing all by herself. The difficulty of staying up made her knees tremble from the cold and nervousness of doing it alone, until she hit the ground. None of the two F4 noticed but only Yong Sook and Ga Eul, feeling bad for her.
"I'm going to help her" the painter said and asked for Ga Eul to stay there, not moving until he comes. Nodding, she obeyed and stood there, looking now at her best friend trying to ski from more up.
A big smile they shared before three girls from Shinhwa school stumbled along the way with her, making Geum Jan Di fall to the ground with them too. The country bumpkin looked at the females very suspicious, seeing how much they were touching her and how mysteriously nice treated the commoner. But nothing away from normal catches her eyesight.
"Are you okay?" screamed the country bumpkin so her friend could hear her. Geum Jan Di nodded after the girls left her alone.
"Yes. Are you okay?" she asked back and Ga Eul nodded with a smile.
But suddenly and unexpectedly, a snowboarder slid on the snow very fast, passing Jan Di from the side, and she became alarmed by this knowing that her friend was standing in his way. Eyes grew wide while the commoner screamed at her best friend to get out of the way, but the country bumpkin's body stood still, not wanting to move. The boy was coming so fast that she knew she didn't had a chance to move away before getting hit.
One more time Jan Di screamed to Ga Eul and the Casanova noticed this time the familiar voice, glancing at what was happening behind Woo Bin's back. Without hesitating, he pushed the Don Juan to the side and ran fast to her, pushing her back and making their bodies collide to the ground before the snowboarder happily passed.
So Yi Jeong quickly looked at her face, searching for anything wrong, getting scared for how she wasn't opening her eyes. "Ga Eul, are you okay?" he asked preoccupied, and no answer was given.
"Ga Eul" he screamed more loud, inhaling and exhaling deeply.
Suddenly she opened her eyes and the Casanova was still feeling preoccupied. "Ga Eul, are you okay?" he asked one more time, and this time she slowly nodded, realizing who was the one who saved her.
A smile could be seen from a moment on her face but it changed when she saw who had witnessed all the scene. Yong Sook and Eun Jae stood from a fair distance looking at them very preoccupied. At first they were worried for what happened to the country bumpkin, but after seeing she was fine, they couldn't stop thinking on how close they were together on the ground and how So Yi Jeong reacted. It made feel Eun Jae a bit uneasy and confused for how he could sometimes treat the commoner compared to her, and little doubts were now appearing in her mind.
After that So Yi Jeong was embarrassed for how he exposure his worries towards Ga Eul. Lots of people were watching the scene now and their friends too. But for a moment it seem like time stopped as they stared into each other's eyes, not wanting to move from there. The intense look was making their bodies feel warm and their neck was positively hot, feeling all these emotions blossoming again.
They never imagined to have a moment like this again and they secretly enjoyed it. Being so close to him like this made her feel once again butterflies in her stomach. Even though she loved the situation, she couldn't help to hate it too. All that time spend escaping away from his shadows was in vain now, as she suspected. Stupid she felt for thinking that something like this wouldn't happen if she stood beside Yong Sook.
Thereafter she reminded herself that they were near them and probably had watched all the scenery. Raising her head from the ground to see where they were, her heart stopped when the two of them looked hurt. This not only made her wake up from her trance but to push aside So Yi Jeong, giving him a quick thank before standing up and leaving to join Yong Sook.
The Casanova sighed frustrated by this, standing up just to encounter a confused Eun Jae in front of him. There was no word spoken to him, she only remained silence, not daring to find out why he acted like that. All imaginations and suppositions were filling her head, but immediately shook them away when she remembered his words; they were just good friends, the best of friends. There was no need for her to feel unsecured or sad. It was reasonable if he treated her that way, like a sister. Those were the thoughts of the young female potter.
After a full day of excitement and fun it was time for all of them to get back to the hotel and have some nice rest. Everyone came back together and for their surprise, Yong Sook and Ga Eul's room was in the same floor as them, just a couple of doors away.
The pair wanted already go to sleep while the F4 was ready to party. The invitation was made for them to come but both resisted the temptation of going and dance. Their bodies were tired and a good night sleep was all they needed.
Eun Jae and Geum Jan Di wanted to go to bed too and Gu Jun Pyo got annoyed by this. The only way he wanted to go was with her, but she obviously had to ruin his fun.
The leader soon enough decided not to go, blaming the commoner for his change of opinion. This made him receive a good punch on the arm and a loud and cranky yell. The other guys watched how the scene developed, smiling and laughing for how Gu Jun Pyo was really in love with the commoner, being under her spell and for how she always dominate him so easily. Then the couple finally went to their respective rooms and Eun Jae too. Leaving the F3 with Yong Sook and Ga Eul outside in the corridor.
"So what are we going to do?" Woo Bin rubbed his hands, giving a grin and looking at his two friends who were beside him.
"I'm tired too, so I'm going to bed" Ji Hoo announced and smiled to all of them, except the painter, before turning to leave to the same room Gu Jun Pyo entered.
Now there was only four of them. "I'm going too" Ga Eul said and whirled around to leave. Yong Sook bowed and followed her behind, making So Yi Jeong get more frustrated, angry and desperate to do something about it, but no idea came into his mind.
"Well, I guess is just you and me" the Don Juan gave him a sexy wink, teasing him around but this just made So Yi Jeong more mad for no reason, sighing and leaving him alone in the corridor after entering to their room.
"Aish! What did I do this time?" asked while opening the door to their room, a bit annoyed that no one wanted to party.
The heat in the room felt nice as she glanced outside from the glass door of the balcony, looking at the brightful lights that covered the surroundings of the hotel. Big mountains full of snow accompany them, giving a scary view of the trees in the dark night. The sound of the wind hitting against the glass send her shivers in all her body, imagining how cold was outside. Though, the sound help her to feel calm and relax, like a bedtime song.
A soft coughed she heard and turned to see Yong Sook in a long and loose pants, with no shirt on. Her senses made her whirled around again, not wanting to see anymore the exposed chest of him. A blush appeared on her cheeks as she nervously and softly punched herself in the head, thinking this was the most stupidest idea she could have gone along with.
"Can't you put on a shirt?" she asked very shy. Ga Eul had obviously seen man like that in the beach, but it was a lot different when she was alone with them, mostly if it was in a bathroom or a hotel room, remembering her previous situation with another fellow.
Before he could answer to her question, a loud knock was given to the door and Yong Sook turned to look at it, confused of who could it be at this time of night. Ga Eul just stood in the same place, not caring who could it be but only watching for her eyes to not see more farther than she already had.
"Who is it?" he asked and looked through the peephole, wanting to know who was outside, in front of their door, but no sight of anyone could be seen. It was strange, and the knock was hear again. Getting frustrated for no one responding, Yong Sook decided to just open the door.
So Yi Jeong was kneeling on the floor, a big smile across his mouth while his eyes struggle to be open. His body was reeling back and forth, trying to mantain his balance on the floor. The smell of alcohol was not so strong but it was quickly noticed by Yong Sook's nose as he watched him disgusted.
"Can I sleep here?" he asked with a funny tone and gave a little laugh.
"No" the painter immediately said and was about to shut the door on his face when Ga Eul stopped him. Looking down to the Casanova, she worried for how intoxicated he seem to be. Kneeling on to the floor, she checked his temperature and held his face while examining him. Then she gave a sigh, preoccupied for his state.
"Can you go back to your room?" asked the commoner while still holding his head.
"They...don't..don't...want..me" he struggle to get those words out while laughing for himself.
"Come on, I will take you then with the girls" putting her arm around his back, she try to stand up with him but it was too much weight for her to sustain. Yong Sook, even though he didn't like his sudden appearance, helped the country bumpkin get him up.
"No, they..don't...want" his hand vaguely pointed towards their door and smiled.
"Then what are we going to do with him?" the painter asked a bit annoyed while holding him from the other side.
"I guess he must stay here with us" she said and try to whirl around to enter the room, but Yong Sook stood in the same place, not moving at all.
"No, he can't" he looked offended and shock that she considered having him in their room.
"Yong Sook sunbae, we can't let him sleep outside" she said to him very serious while So Yi Jeong just played with her hair and poked her cheeks, laughing at all times.
"You're right, I guess we can't do that" he sighed and agree with her even if he didn't want to.
Helping her get him inside the room was difficult as they dragged him carefully away from the door so they could close it before all the cold could enter in the room. Doing this, they didn't notice another person was watching them from other room, devilishly smiling with a bottle of alcohol in his hand, closing slowly the door so they wouldn't see him.
So Yi Jeong layed on the floor getting sleepy while the other two were deciding what to do with him and where he was going to sleep. There was only one bed and sharing it with him didn't seem a good idea for Yong Sook. Options were made, like putting him outside in the balcony, but that was just the painter's cruel idea.
Suddenly, they both glanced at the small couch that was in front of the bed. Without saying any word, they looked at each other nodded before pulling him up and slowly placing his body on it.
"Finally..." Yong Sook exclaimed exhausted and took a deep sigh.
"I think we can go to sleep now" he suggested and the country bumpkin nodded with a smile on her face.
Rapidly they went to bed, wishing a good night to each other, sleeping the two of them in each corner of the bed. It reminded her a lot of the occurrences with the one who was all drunk, sleeping on the couch with them, in the same room. Memories flood back of how he slept for one night with her in this sane position she was with Yong Sook. Although, she couldn't stop the feeling of being watched, sensing the eyes of someone set on her, but it was just her imagination as the commoner realized Yong Sook was almost asleep with his back facing her, while So Yi Jeong was just purely drunk.
Suddenly, she felt the bed moving a bit, feeling someone getting close to her space. A hot breath she felt in the back of her neck and it send shivers down her spine, wondering why the painter had to make this unexpected move. Turning around little by little to accomodate him once again in the same position he had in the beginning, her eyes grew wide and she gasped surprised.
"So Yi..." he swiftly moved his arm on top of her head, making her face his armpit which she quickly moved very disgusted.
The Casanova was in the middle of the bed, upside down with his head looking to the country bumpkin. At first she thought of putting him back on the couch, but that would lead only to wake up Yong Sook and both once again struggle carrying his body. Also, it seem impossible to even breath as he unconsciously pushed her close to him and placed one leg on top of her.
"You're definitely going to pay for this" she cursed under her breath, looking very serious at his angelical face sleeping, smelling the horrible alcohol he had on his clothes. A smirk mysteriously appeared on his mouth without her noticing.
After that she miraculously find sleep, even when almost half of his weight was on top of her, not wanting to move even if she try to push him aside. The face of the Casanova seem satisfied and happy, sleeping like an angel with no worries.
