Chapter 7

Ga Eul woke up as the bright sunlight shined through the curtains into her room and slowly sat up on the bed. She scanned the surroundings and was reminded that Yi Jung brought Yong Yong and herself to Seoul yesterday. Last night…. Yi Jung actually confessed that he missed her and said 'I love you'. Ga Eul touched her lips as she remembered how awkward the kiss ended, Ga Eul was glancing at the floor and was out of words while Yi Jung was wondering whether or not he should steal another kiss from her. Yi Jung said 'I love you', but how true is it? He said those words before too, and it ended up as a lie. Ga Eul was debating within herself as she went to Yong Yong's room to check on her baby boy. She smiled as she patted Yong Yong's chest. Little Yong Yong was still asleep, probably enjoying the comfortable surroundings and new baby bed. Ga Eul couldn't help but to admire the baby room. The room was filled with cuddly soft toys, baby toys, and etc, Yi Jung sure had his servants to decorate the room with perfection and prepared everything Yong Yong might need.

Ga Eul went downstairs and was greeted by Ajumma Song, the person in charge of all of the So Mansion's maids and servants. "Annyeonghaseyo, Ajumma Song." Ga Eul bowed politely, "What is my first duty for today?" Ajumma Song bowed in return, "Ani.. Miss Ga Eul, Master Yi Jung gave specific instructions for me not to hand you any task, he wants you to wait for him to return from work." Ajumma Song recognize Ga Eul immediately upon her arrival yesterday, she was none other than the deceased Chu Ming Hoo's daughter. Ajumma Song was glad that Yi Jung brought Ga Eul back, she was aware of the Chu Corporations incident since she has been working with the Sos for a long time, plus Ga Eul was a nice and simple girl. Ga Eu's eyes widened upon hearing Ajumma Song's words, Yi Jung actually wanted her to do nothing, "Aniyo, Ajumma Han, I can't do that. Erm, can you assign something to me please?" Ga Eul pleaded, the mere thought of staying here without doing anything in return was very inappropriate for her. "Ani…Miss Ga Eul…but…." Ga Eul was in the midst of pleading with Ajumma Song when she noticed a few servant girls walking pass them, "Ajumma Song, can I change into the servant outfits too? Please?" Ajumma Song was scratching her head, she understood Ga Eul's intentions, but, "Ani..Master Yi Jung.." Ga Eul smiled, "Gwenchana, Ajumma Song, just tell him that I insisted."

…

Ga Eul changed into the servants outfit and started cleaning up Yi Jung's room since Ajumma Song couldn't assign her to clean any other parts of the mansion. Ga Eul slowly entered Yi Jung's room and observed the surroundings. Yi Jung's room was mainly dark brown and brown in color, the furniture was also the same color tone, which gave the room a very warm and antique atmosphere. Ga Eul was shocked when she saw a picture frame of her on the bedside table of Yi Jung's bed, her eyes became watery when she realized that the picture was taken when the two of them were together before the incident. Ga Eul wiped her tears away and let out a sigh as she started cleaning up the room.

Ga Eul was on her way to the laundry section carrying piles of bed sheets and curtain drapes when she passed by one of the guestrooms and heard the conversation going on between few of the servant girls. "Did you see the girl Master Yi Jung brought back yesterday?" "Neh! She had a baby with her, I doubt the baby isn't hers." "Me too, she might be Master Yi Jung's mistress." "You're saying that the baby is his?" "Yah Min Na shii, stop over reacting, you can forget about marrying Master Yi Jung." "Still, I can't stand the innocent look that girl has, urghhh.. What so special about her that Master Yi Jung likes her.." "So what is she now? The mistress or one of the maids?" Ga Eul bit her lip and quickly walked away, the feeling of being called a mistress and being the juicy gossip of the So maids saddened her. True, she isn't sure of her position here in the So Mansion, given her past relationship with Yi Jung, Yong Yong and being Yi Jung's personal maid, she was neither here or there.

…..

Yi Jung closed one of the files and handed it over to Secretary Kang. "Good job, Kang. You can go off now." Secretary Kang nearly dropped his jaw wide open, "MWO? I… I mean, Mr So, It's not even 4:30pm, are you.." Yi Jung laughed at Kang's expression, "Yes Kang, you can go back now." He wanted to burst into laughter when he saw Kang skipping his way out. Yi Jung loosened his necktie and packed his briefcase, he couldn't explain his urge to go home, in the past, he was one of the last persons leaving the headquarters, but right now he just wanted to go home. Last night, Ga Eul allowed Yi Jung to hug her and kissed her, to Yi Jung, this was a very big step in winning back her heart, he wanted to hug her and kiss her now too. He also miss carrying little Yong Yong in his arms.

…

Yi Jung arrived at the So Mansion and was greeted by Ajumma Song, "Ajumma Song, where is Ga Eul shiii?" "Master Song, I'm sorry, she insisted and I allowed her to clean your room." Ajumma Song was expecting Yi Jung to be angry, but he let out a laugh, "Gwenchana, I knew it, it's okay."

Yi Jung quickly make his way to his room as he took off his neck tie and set aside his briefcase. He opened his door, hoping to catch Ga Eul shii of guard and tease her but she was lying on the very edge of his bed, fast asleep. For a split second, Yi Jung thought that he was hallucinating, Ga Eul was actually lying on his bed. Yi Jung chuckled, he took of his coat and lied on his bed beside Ga Eul and observed her. Her sleeping face was very angelic and sweet, with the servant clothing on, Ga Eul looked like a sweet fresh graduate. Yi Jung started hugging Ga Eul into his embrace and dropping feathery kisses on her face and finally savouring her lips. Ga Eul felt the movements around her and woke up, only to realize that Yi Jung was hugging her and kissing her. "I…I'm sorry..I was waiting for the drapes to soak for a while and I fell asleep, I.." Yi Jung laughed, Ga Eul looked like a primary school girl being caught falling asleep in class, "It's okay Ga Eul shii," Yi Jung pulled Ga Eul closer and continued kissing her.

Ga Eul wanted to protest, because she felt so wrong wearing a maid's outfit and kissing with her 'employer' on his bed, but she couldn't escape Yi Jung's strong arms and the sensations he was giving her. She missed him as much as he misses her too. The temperature was rising and Ga Eul was starting to respond to Yi Jung more and more, and this made Yi Jung wanting even more. He started loosening the front buttons of Ga Eul's servant outfit, slowly pushing the unbuttoned pieces apart to expose her bare shoulders, and his hands fondling Ga Eul's thighs and pushing the hem of her dress higher. Ga Eul broke away from the kiss and panted, "I… sun bae, we…" Ga Eul held onto whatever rationale she had left, she was about to give in but she still had some fears and insecurities inside her. She missed Yi Jung but she didn't want their union to be out of lust.

Yi Jung was a bit shocked when Ga Eul broke the kiss. Ga Eul looked so tempting beneath him with one of her shoulders and thighs exposed, and her shyness and attempt to pull her dress lower made it really hard for Yi Jung to resist the thoughts of not making her his. But he knew that he owed Ga Eul some explanations, he hadn't formally let Ga Eul shii know his heart and love for her after the incident. Yi Jung gently stroke Ga Eul's hair, "Ga Eul shii, I'm sorry if I'm taking this too fast. I…God knows how many sleepless nights I had missing you and regretting my actions. I really love you, I need you to know this." Ga Eul tear upon hearing Yi Jung's confession, "Sunbae, you said that before too, but then.." Yi Jung knew what was going through her mind, "I know, I'm sorry, I never knew that my obsession with revenge brought this much harm to you. I thought I was going to be happy after getting the kind of justice I want, but I felt even lonelier, I found the love of my life and lost it. I'm sorry I put you through all this hardship, but I want you to know that I really loved you, I admit that I purposely went closer to you because you were the Chu's daughter, but I really fell for you after knowing you."

Ga Eul shed even more tears, she couldn't explain the thoughts that were running through her mind right now, she was happy and felt very much relieved after knowing this. "Ga Eul shii, do you still love me? Please say you do." Yi Jung said as he starred deeply into her eyes. Ga Eul let out a laugh as she wiped her tears away, "Sun bae, I love you, I always had loved you." Yi Jung grinned after hearing Ga Eul's response, he held Ga Eul into his embrace and loved her the same way he did before they were separated. Yi Jung couldn't express how grateful and complete he felt being able to hold Ga Eul in his arms again. With Ga Eul shii, Yi Jung will never ever feel that his brown bed is too wide and big for him to sleep on again anymore.
