Excited to say I reached the 200k words.
Enjoy!
The next morning the door from a room opened just to witness the scene in front of him. Ga Eul and Yi Jeong were unconsciously hugging each other under the small diner jacket while both heads were leaning together. Immediately and without waiting anymore, Woo Bin out of the pocket his cellphone to take a picture of this loveable moment. An unbelievable laugh was made by him, remembering the other times where he managed to picture a memory of them together, and it was funny since every time they were asleep. This was what he wanted and everyone else, for them to be just like they were right now even though he acknowledge the country bumpkin must've decided to wait for today to talk with the potter.
Suddenly, the flash of the camera grab the attentio of their eyes, slowly opening them to see what was happening and when the Don Juan took notice of this, he quickly entered his room, not wanting to be part of what was going to develop next.
Morning groans were given as the cold and the pain of their bodies for their uncomfortable position was there. So Yi Jeong rubbed his temple slightly and when he was going to lean to the front, a weight stopped him, a weight that didn't belong to him. Carefully he turned his head to see Ga Eul waking up too, yawning for the last time and stretching her arms. Eyes grew wide for him, not expecting her to be by his side. Something must've gone wrong, that's what he thought.
"I'm sorry, I should get going" almost about to stand up, she pulled him back and looked at his eyes without saying anything, afraid of how she would start this conversation.
It was all confusing to him. So Yi Jeong cursed under his breath anyone who did this to them, thinking that one of his dear friends put them in this kind of position. The awkward feeling of apologizing for any mischief action of his friends was something that frustrated him, not realizing that it was the commoner who decided to stay all night.
"We need to talk" she was still holding his arm, scared that in any time he could go away or reject her. But the Casanova just nodded, not demonstrating any kind of excitement for it or any positive expression. After all these months the only thing he could expect was another one of her scolds or rants about how they shouldn't see each other. He was totally tired of that, but seeing how she was very determined and looking different from all the other occasions, the potter wanted to give this a final chance.
About to start talking, he noticed she was shaking of cold as her arms trembled under the diner jacket. "Let's get inside" he stood up and grabbed her arms to pull her up, heading now to the door of his room. Getting the keys out of his pocket, the door slowly opened and So Yi Jeong looked confused about this, glancing to who was the one opening it.
"Good morning" said the Don Juan with a big smirk on his face. "I'm going for a walk" he decided to make his greetings short and without lots of explanation knowing that they were about to talk. Walking now outside, he gave a blink to the commoner, murmuring 'fighting!' to her before leaving.
Entering the room, she glanced at how the potter quickly went to call for room service, ordering breakfast and coffee. She was getting nervous, there was no doubt about that, and even more when he was acting like nothing happened between them. So Yi Jeong sat on the bed, looking at her with a boring stare, prepared to receive what he thought would be another scold. Ga Eul stood there, in the front of the door, not knowing how to start the conversation, opening her lips in vain attempts to talk.
"If this is about how I should leave you alone and-" he was quickly interjected by her.
"No, is not about that" she reassured him, taking a few steps close to his bed and glancing to the floor.
"Then what is it?" the tone on his voice sounded cold and dry, like if he didn't care what he was going to hear next. Although there was a slight curiosity for the reason she was like this, looking all sad and with a sorry face. It brought his attention as he glare at her face, analyzing what emotion could she be feeling right now.
"I committed an error" she stuttered, fixing her eyes now on the Casanova, staring at his for any sign that he was indeed listening and caring for what she was saying, but he seemed confused, not understanding at all her sudden change of words.
"Back then, when you kiss Eun Jae, at first I thought I couldn't forgive you, but then you demonstrated a great determination that you was indeed sorry for that mistake" she began to fidget her fingers, getting nervous for how she started the conversation.
So Yi Jeong looked at her while listening very carefully, interested on what she was saying, not wanting to interrupt her.
"Then again, I was afraid that you would break my heart if we return back" she heaved a sigh while touching her heart, feeling a lump in her throat now.
"When we were stuck together for the storm, I realized in that moment I wanted to be with you again" the Casanova's eyes widened for this revelation, but still not understanding why she acted like she did after they got out.
"I wanted to give us an opportunity, but when we got to the hotel, someone told me you were with Eun Jae, that you were just playing with my heart" Ga Eul turned around to not see his face any long, ashamed for her words and actions after that event. Tears began to roll down her cheek for how she temembered the way she treated him, not deserving it at all.
"And now that I know the truth, I feel very bad for how I was treating you. I should've went to you and talk about-" she was interrupted this time while still giving him the back.
"I understand why you didn't come to me" he gave a sigh a little annoyed for that fact. "All my life I have been a Casanova, and it was not hard to believe that for the fact I have previously played with all the girls in my way" he was still sitting on the bed, looking at her with a thoughtful stare.
"So Yi Jeong sunbae, was I one of those girls?" the country bumpkin asked a bit scared and offended, turning around with big eyes of concern.
"I don't know, you tell me about it" this was just a way of hos to see what she really thought about his true motives and feelings. Ga Eul shook her head in disapproval, not thinking she was one of the other girls. A small appeared on his face, yet he refused to act all nice.
"I'm really sorry, sunbae. I'm sorry for thinking of you like that" she grabbed his hands, pleading for his acceptance, looking intensely into his eyes.
"Ga Eul, I forgive you" he said softening his face, standing up from the bed now. The hopeful stare on her eyes was something that he liked to see, and even more when everything was returning back to normal.
"But I have one more question" he asked and walked away from her, giving thought about everything she said, analyzing every single word.
Ga Eul hummed yes and waited for him to ask. "Who told you that lie about me?" the question made her realize that the only person she trusted a lot was the one who caused her all this heartaches.
"I-I" she began to stutter, not wanting to respond. But that's all it took for him to know who was the person behind all this trouble.
"So, you believed in him more than me, huh?" even when he forgive the country bumpkin, the anger that he was feeling couldn't be contain. It hurt him to see that the girl who says that loves him trusted another guy more than him.
"I never believed he could do such thing" she lowered her head very sad, feeling ashamed for the true in his words. If she really loved him, the first thing she would've have done was to talk with him before reacting that way.
"Besides, you hurt me a lot that I thought anything coming from you was possible" another tear rolled down her cheek. Ga Eul hated to give excuses but it was the truth, she felt that way and wanted to express it.
"Is that so?" So Yi Jeong try to comprehend her feelings and it was functioning as the look in her eyes were softening his heart, understanding that it wasn't her fault that they got to this point since the beginning.
"Joesonghabnida" she once again said while looking down to the floor.
Before the Casanova could turn around to look at her, he wore a devilish smirk on his mouth, thinking on what to do. Taking a few steps towards her, he touched her shoulder and this made the commoner raise her head to see a serious So Yi Jeong.
"I don't know if I can forgive you for that, Ga Eul" he stare at her, not giving any expression that could tell her how he was really feeling inside.
"I understand" the country bumpkin said before beginning to give some steps towards the door, about to leave thinking that he didn't want anything to do with her.
"But..." the potter smiled before she could turn around again. "You could win that forgiveness" he arched an eyebrow, giving a smirk that melted her heart.
"How?" she asked a bit curious and desperate.
"I don't know..." he knew exactly "...doing whatever I want" he sighed very confident, hands in pocket with a posture that could tell he was comfortable with this situation.
"Wh-what! What kind of winning your forgiveness is that?" she said offended, opening her mouth very disgusted for what he wanted.
"Fine, close the door when you leave" he turned around to grab the phone, a little desperate that the food hasn't come yet.
"Wait" she said and he stopped, his back facing her. A little groan he heard before she continue talking, he loved this. "Fine. I would do anything you want" the commoner was tapping her feet against the floor really hard and fast, angry to what she was accepting.
"Good" he said before a knock could be heard on the door.
"Open the door" he ordered the country bumpkin who was looking offended at him. Waving his hand, signaling for her to do so, she walked groaning to the door. Opening it, a female employee brought the breakfast and hot drinks, moving the little cart inside.
"Wait" So Yi Jeong told the women. "You can go now" he sat on his bed with his arms crossed while the employee and Ga Eul looked at him a little confused before the female could leave immediately.
"You, serve me the food" he gave another order to her, and this was totally annoying the commoner, inhaling and exhaling deeply for patience.
This was his way of making her suffer a little. Taking revenge was sweet in this way as he could have her all the time he wanted. Ga Eul was now at his mercy and the thought of it made him joyful. It was true he was still hurt, but the love was powerful than any anger he could feel towards her. The commoner demonstrated just like him that she was indeed very sorry for her mistake. The thought of not forgiving her was just unfair for him and there were two strong reasons for that; he loves her and he was the first one to commit a big error.
So Yi Jeong wanted to already hug and kiss her and yell her everything was fine between them, but that wasn't the right way to go. Things needed to go slowly and both knew it. After a long time their lips seem like strangers to each other. They needed time to heal their hearts before giving the step once again, fix the problems that were still present, like Yong Sook.
After she served his breakfast and the coffee, the Casanova ordered her to sat down and eat with him. At first she refused for how upset she was, but the look in his eyes easily changed her mind. Now looking at all the food, she didn't know where to start or what to pick, but a hand suddenly began to grab some food and placed it on her plate. Ga Eul glanced at the potter confused. He was now serving her after she did with him, why? That was her thought but the commoner decided to ignore it and enjoy the time with him.
"This will be good for you" he sweetly smiled at her before returning to eat from his own plate. "Eat well" he said while looking how she rapidly stuffed her mouth with the incredible taste of pancakes, not having the opportunity eat that often.
"I see you like them. Try this too" he raised his fork towards her mouth and the eyes of the girl seem nervous and impressed for this sudden action of his. It meant a lot for couples, but were they? She still didn't knew that answer, he never talked about that and neither did she. For an instance Ga Eul felt stupid for not reminding herself that that was a main subject she should've talked before. Now the confuseness of whether they were just still friends or a couple was there, annoying the girl's poor mind.
An hour passed by as they laughed at each other's awkward way to eat, making jokes and feeling more comfortable now. Even when none dare to touch or even have a more long than three-seconds glare, they knew everything was returning back to normal, almost.
Suddenly, the door from the room opened, leaving in sight the one and only Don Juan with a huge smile on his face. Walking slowly towards them seeing how they were enjoying their moment.
"I should get going" Ga Eul said very shy, standing up without glancing at her friend, knowing in fact that he was about to make an awkward remark about the two if she didn't leave soon enough.
"Wait, where are you going?' Woo Bin asked with a wicked smile on his mouth, trying to stop the country bumpkin, but she was too fast to dodge him and leave.
Closing the door and disappearing from there, his friend turn to look once again at the Casanova. "What happened?" he asked very curious while trying to take a bit of the food, but the hand of the potter slapped his, not wanting to share the food of him and his country bumpkin.
"Nothing" he gave a big smile, not wanting to enter in details right now with him but just enjoy the sweet memory of her saying sorry.
"That smile says something else" Woo bin pointed his mouth very close and So Yi Jeong moved it away.
"So, are you back together?" this was his friend, always wanting to get to the point immediately when the subject was important.
"Something like that" So Yi Jeong said not secure of his own words.
"Yah! You haven't?" shock was written on his face, not understanding how Ga Eul walked out of there like if everything returned to normal and how So Yi Jeong was very happy but still they weren't officially together.
"Aish! You make a lot of questions" said very annoyed while throwing him a pillow to shut him up, standing and leaving to the bathroom.
"Yah! Chicken, come back here and let's talk about it" Woo Bin followed him behind but the door was shut immediately right on his face, making the Don Juan get offended.
"Aigo! You two are acting strange" he said before turning around, giving a sigh very happy that his two friends looked cheerful now. It was definitely good news and being part of that reconciliation made him feel extremely satisfied and content.
On the other side, in the corridor, where no soul could be seen except for just a commoner, little screams were to be heard in the long space while she gave jumps of excitement. Ga Eul couldn't hide how happy she was after that tense moment, even though their relationship status was still unknown for now, the Casanova was forgiving her for all those bad moments she made him went through. It was unbelievable to think how easy resulted to talk with him, undertanding how she was feeling. So Yi Jeong was someone special for her and this time she was going to make sure no one could stop this mutual feelings from both.
The only thing left to do was to confront Yong Sook, that liar. Cursing under her breath wouldn't make any difference, besides, the reason why he lie wasn't known. Maybe there was a strong one for him to do so, but again, the painter knew exactly how she felt for the potter and it wasn't right what he did. Somehow she was going to discover the truth behind it, but for now, the trip to to Macau hadn't finish, wishing that everything turn out even more great than it already was.
Entering now to her room, her glare change as she saw her best friend crying beside the window. Again, she remembered why they where here, to look for Gu Jun Pyo. It hurt her to see the girl with short hair like this, but right now there was nothing to do to heal her heart.
"Jan Di ah" she said very concerned, sitting beside her and rubbing her back for comfort.
"Ga Eul, you came back" even when she try to sound normal, her eyes betrayed her easily and mostly the sobs that were coming out of her mouth.
"What happened?" asked the country bumpkin, leaning to see the lowered face of her best friend.
"I saw him last night" she placed a hand on her forehead,trying to hide her face.
"Did he talked with you?" Ga Eul asked with a tone of hope.
"No" she paused, grabbing a tissue and cleaning up her nose. "I saw him from the distance, with a girl" Jan Di was looking now at her friend, very serious almost about to explode again in tears.
"That...stupid..." she try to look for any other mean word in her disctionary but the girl with short hair kept talking.
"You know what's funny?" Ga Eul glanced at her, waiting for her to continue. "That he saw me, and yet he did not care like if I was a stranger" tears were again rolling down her cheek, feeling the pain on her chest.
The country bumpkin stood quiet, shock at what she just said. It was incredible how a boy who used to stalk and get jealous for anything that got near to her friend was now acting this way. Any reason wasn't enough to make the commoner suffer this way. Even when Jan Di didn't know how to appreacite him at first, now she recognizing that living without him seemed impossible. Getting used to him was now an habit that she wasn't ready to break.
The happiness that Ga Eul was feeling just a couple of minutes ago vanished away, feeling sad and sorry for her friend. Even when she wanted to tell her what happened with the Casanova, the commoner acknowledge it wasn't the right time to do it, wanting to give space to the one who was still heart broken.
Suddenly, the words of the Don Juan came quickly into her mind, reminding the exact words he told her last night about why both F4 boys set their eyes on them. It began to feel odd how the leader of the group was out of nowhere acting that way now. There was definitely a reason, she thought.
"Jan Di ah, this may sound strange but, you need to fight for him, discover why he is behaving like this. I know he loves you" Ga Eul reassured her, giving a confident smile to her while raising a fist into the air and saying 'Fighting!'. Even though Jan Di wasn't in the mood, a small grin appeared as that advice made her feel a bit better.
Thereafter Ji Hoo came in and invited them for a walk, knowing that's what the girl with short hair needed now.
The other two boys where waiting in the lobby impatiently, wanting to already start the day. The elevator opened and the girls and the violinist appeared in sight, making So Yi Jeong smile like never before.
"Come on slave, we are going for a walk" he grabbed the hand of the country bumpkin, pulling her away from the others to the exit very quickly.
"But what about them?" Ga Eul asked a bit confuse yet annoyed for how he was taking her away.
"We are just going to be ahead of them. They will soon follow us" he said in a rush, not wanting for any of the other three to start with the game of questions.
After they were out of sight immediately, the others started to wonder why he called her slave, how they were even now talking to each other. Of course, Woo Bin knew the reason, but staying quiet was the best for now, wanting for the couple to explain it better.
"Carry this for me" he took out his jacket since the day was beginning to feel hot, giving it to Ga Eul so she could him the favor of carrying it. The annoyance was too much for him, laughing for how cute she was while messing with her hair.
Ji Hoo and the other two watched from behind what was happening, not understanding how this happened. Every time either one of them have a small punch or push to the other, their friends would just gasp, believing that a fight between was going happen, but nothing, they were just playing around.
Soon enough, three boats stood still in the water, beside the sidewalk, man waiting for someone to get in. So Yi Jeong glanced at the commoner with a smirk, before pulling her towards the boat, getting in while the other followed behind. The Casanova quickly blocked their way in ,shaking his head from side to side slowly and pointing to the other two who were still empty.
Woo Bin sighed annoyed, getting in the last one of them while Jan Di and Ji Hoo hopped in the second one. The ride through the canal soon started and the girls quickly gasped for how amazing it felt, looking at the beautiful surrounding.
"This is so beautiful, like in a dream" she said while the man began to sing a love song, making her blush while glancing awkwardly to the Casanova.
"Not as someone I'm looking right now" his eyes were fixed on her, becoming close to her while his slowly slipped behind her back and pushing her a bit note to his side.
"Sunbae" the commoner said awkwardly, but with a smile on het face showing happiness and nervousness.
Faces were inches apart from each other, enjoying once again this closeness, feeling the intense heat of each other as they became even more closer. Eyes were staring at the lips, hearts were beginning to pound really hard as they desperately wanted to kiss. But before that could happen, a loud noise came from not so far. Their hands swiftly covered their ears for how horrendous and loudly a person was singing.
"Aish!" most of them exclaimed as they began to search who was the one with the terrible voice.
"Huh! That's Supergirl" Ga Eul pointed to the one who was standing on a boat, singing a love song while the men was trying to pull her away, but the group of well-dressed man were holding him.
The boats of the two commoners passed by and they wave at her, and the girl returned it back with a smile while still singing.
"Yah! You" Woo Bin yelled pointed at her very upset.
"Shut up!" he demanded, still not recognizing the girl he previously and unfortunately met last night.
The girl stopped and looked at him with a serious gaze. "Make me" she dare him, continuining to sing.
Suddenly, the Don Juan didn't hesitate and went to take some water of the canal into his hand, throwing it to her. The girl was definitely wet for his continued movements of throwing water.
"Yah! Stop that" she ordered him, eyes clsoed gor the water that was coming.
"Make me" he mimic her with a triumphant smile on his face.
"Fine" she said before crazily jumping from the boat she was to his, almost falling down to the water. Fortunately, Woo Bin caught her, her body ending on top of his. Their faces become really close, eyes grew big for the utter shock of being like this. The Don Juan swiftly pushed her away, but she resisted and went back on top of him, holding his hand against the wood.
"You are going to pay for this" she pointed at her hair very offended.
"I don't think so" swiftly and without any difficulty, he rolled their bodies together, his body on top of her now.
"Yah! You're the girl who kicked me last night" Woo Bin remembered now, getting more upset than before.
"Oh, so you are that crybaby" she wickedly smirk before hitting him with her knee in the middle of his legs, making the poor boy gasped for air, feeling the pain coming more and more.
"I'm sorry" she teased him for last night and now before jumping again to meet the sidewalk, but her calculations went wrong as her right foot didn't step correctly on the floor, losing balance and going straight to the water.
Even though Woo Bin was in pain, watching the girl fall to the water and get all soaked was very entertaining to see. Laughing really hard at her and pressing his stomach while she cursed under her breath, trying to get out of there.
"I bet that was your shower for today" those were the last words he could say before the girl disappeared with the well-dressed man surrounding her so nobody could see her.
