Hey you guys... I was just writing this and while I was writing it, I thought that it sounded a lot like the plotline for BellesYellowRose's 'A Fake Engagement' so if you think it is too much like it, please tell me and then I will just take the story down until I find a new explanation as to who the guy is at Ga Eul's home.

Thank you!

Ga Eul's head was pouding when she started to open her eyes but at least she wasn't cold anymore, no she was actually quite comfortable. Did the people whose house she fell asleep in front of pull her inside? Or did they call someone with her phone?

Did they contact him?

Surely they would not... no, they couldn't have. Her phone had been taken away from her out of fear that she would call someone with it and talk about what they did. They might be cruel but they certainly were not stupid.

The room she was in, was not familiar to her at all. However there was something about the feeling, the dynamic if you will that was familiar. The man sleeping on the chair beside the bed was very familiar though and made her wonder even more where she was.

Slowly she sat up and leaned over to where Yi Jeong was and gently shook him, "Sunbae?"

He aroused from his sleep and opened his eyes. "Ga Eul yang?"

"Where am I?"

"At Woo Bin's house." He stood up and sat down on the bed next to her, "How are you feeling?"

"Tired." She said, "Confused. How did I get here?"

"Se Joo came to get Woo Bin, Ji Hoo and I because he was worried. He'd seen the bags under your eyes and the bruises you were desperately trying to hide. He also said you looked paranoid these last couple of days, always looking over your shoulder and flinching whenever raised their voices even if it was not at you."

"Wh-"

"Mind telling me what's going on? Don't try to tell me it is nothing because obviously it is if you are acting like that. I know you rejected me and have been ignoring me ever since but I still care about you, so tell me what is going on."

"Sunbae-" Ga Eul tried to tell him off but he interrupted her.

He shook his head, "No, Ga Eul. We will sit here and we will talk. We're going to start way at the beginning. Namsan stairs. Why did you reject me?"

"It starts before Namsan stairs, sunbae." Ga Eul whispered in a low voice.

"How long before?"

"The day my father lost his job." She continued in the same small voice. "He was angry and blamed me. She, my mom, knew Jan Di was friends with you guys and blamed me for being friends with her. She told my dad of Jan Di's connection to you guys, most importantly to Gu Jun Pyo, and dad blamed me. He never really liked Jan Di, he always thought her to be below our station even when we were both commoners. More than once had he told me to stop being her friend. When he lost his job he blamed her but most of all, blamed me."

"You are not to be blamed for the witch's crazy actions." Yi Jeong assured her, "You're not responsible for them, nor is Jan Di but you clearly are not."

"I know, sunbae." She told him, "But Dad thought differently about it and said that since he lost his job because of me, I would have to make up for it. At first I did but then the search for the billboard started and I lost track of time so I would often be late for my second job or just wouldn't show up so they let me go there and then I found another job, at a bar in a hotel. They took me on and gave me night shifts, so I would not have a lot of time to sleep or do homework. Because of that, my grades started slipping and the school notified my parents."

"What happened?"

"Dad decided it was time for me to know my place and decided to make some money out of it."

He grew madder with the second, "How?"

"Mom... She has old friends who are quite wealthy, I don't know how she met them but she keeps in contact with some of them. One of the friends, she has a son, Jeong Dae Young, he's of age to start looking to marry and my parents came to an agreement with his."

"Jeong Dae Young? The guy who thinks he is one of the F4 and can party with Woo Bin and I?" He asked, frowning in concern because he'd heard a lot about the man.

He was of the same age as Woo Bin and himself but had not been able to catch the spotlight as much because he wasn't F4 and his family wasn't as prominent as they'd once been. Only five years or so before had they been quite important in the businessworld but then his father had made one wrong deal and had lost millions of dollars. He'd been building his capital again and was making a name for their company again but it was nowhere near as grand as where they'd been in the past.

Dae Young was talked about a lot in the clubs as he was known for having a temper when he was drunk. He was always drunk, apparently. Some bartenders said he would already be drunk when entering the club and instead of giving him his requested drink, he'd been given water or something non-alcoholic that they could pass of as his drink.

More concerningly though was the fact that he was a playboy, much like Yi Jeong himself and had made a name for himself with the girls as well for being too rough and not knowing when to stop. While Yi Jeong himself did like it rough sometimes, he also thought it to be important to listen to the woman in the situation. Sure, he did it all for his own pleasure but where would he get that pleasure if the other party wasn't willing?

"Ga Eul, what has he done?"

"He's practically moved in." Tears were streaming down her cheeks now, thinking of the man. "He knew about you, about us. He told me that if I didn't break off all contact with you guys, he would punish me and that he'd tell my parents about you. I knew that that would not end well so I left you at Namsan stairs and ever since I've been trying to live by his rules."

"What are his rules?"

"School and porridge shop only. I give all my money to him. No phone. No talking to other guys. Jan Di is strictly forbidden, I am not to speak to her. I cannot wear certain things anymore, such as skirts even if I wear tights under them. I -"

"What do your parents get in return?"

"My father gets a punching bag." Ga Eul whispered, "Mother gets her allowance. They don't have to worry about getting kicked out. He pays for everything. As long as I marry him at the end of the year."

"No." He snapped, "No. You will not marry some other guy."

"Su-"

"No, Ga Eul, no. Listen well and listen closely because I will only say this once. You. Are. Mine. I will not share you. I have had enough of you sneaking around behind my back and not asking for help. You will move out of that house and you will-"

"Where will I go, sunbae?"

"Home." A warm voice said. With wide eyes, both Ga Eul and Yi Jeong turned around to see the old man standing next to Song Li Bin. "Hello, granddaughter."
