Chapter 2: Unveiling the Mysterious Girl

When the mysterious girl left Yi Jung, he quickly removed his blindfold to see the face of the young lasso he has just danced with. Much to his dismay, the girl standing in front of him is not the the girl with the soft curls but rather, a girl with a ponytailed long straight hair.

"Oppa?" the girl sanding in front of him called Yi Jung as a smile spread across her face.

"Sorry." Yi Jung said to her as he patted her shoulder and scampered out of the auditorium, leaving the other girls disappointed.

Once he got out of the auditorium, Yi Jung looked at his sides and back but no girl with soft curl can be found in the vicinity. He ran farther, hoping to see her but still, he found no one. Giving up, Yi Jung slowly walked towards the F4 lounge.

"Where are you from? I've been looking for you since I arrived here and you're nowhere to be found!" Geum Jan Di shouted at her best friend as she met her for World Literature classes.

"I just went somewhere." Chu Ga Eul responded as she settled herself beside Jan Di.

"Don't tell me you joined that ridiculous surprise the F4 planned for that Casanova!"

"Jan Di- ah." Ga Eul softly said her friend's name.

"You did?! Gaah! Ga Eul! Are you completely out of your mind? I already warned you about him since our first year at Shinhwa. We're already juniors now and you still have that major crush on him? Ga Eul, wake up!"

"Jan Di- ah!" Ga Eul can't control herself anymore. "You don't have to lecture me about liking Yi Jung Sunbae. I know from the start that I don't have any chance with him. But what can I do? Forgetting him is just too hard for me. Fortunately, he doesn't know my feelings towards him. At least, I'm not that awkward when I'm with him. And for joining the queue of girls, he didn't know I was there, okay? He's blindfolded and I'm sure that he won't remember anything about the girls he danced with. There are just too many who joined." Ga Eul explained.

"Make sure that he won't have any idea that you joined. He might tease you when he finds out. Anyway, we're going to meet them for lunch. Jun Pyo asked me to bring you with me to have lunch and celebrate Yi Jung Sunbae's birthday."' Jan Di said.

"Araso. He'll never know I joined that dance." Ga Eul promised.

c,") *at lunch*

"Yah Yi Jung! Why did you leave those girls?" Woo Bin asked.

Yi Jung remained silent, still thinking of that mysterious girl. 'The heck. Why isn't she leaving my mind? I didn't even see her face and I'm acting like this? Damn Yi Jung. What's happening to you?'

"Earth to Yi Jung!" Woo Bin sang along. "What's running inside the mind of the birthday boy, eh?"

"Come on. Tell it." Jun Pyo encouraged.

"There's this one girl…" Yi Jung started but then, he was not able to continue because the door snapped open and Jan Di and Ga Eul entered the F4 lounge.

"Happy birthday Yi Jung Sunbae!" Jan Di shouted.

Ga Eul slowly followed Jan Di inside the lounge. Any trace of girl Yi Jung danced with a while ago was gone. Her hair was in a tight bun, hiding her soft curls. She sprayed a new perfume, Endless Love, to cover the perfume she used a while ago. Ga Eul was holding a paper bag.

"Jan Di! Ga Eul!" Jun Pyo called them. "Why did you arrive just now? I'm hungry!"

"Our class has just ended, pabo." Jan Di told her boyfriend.

"Stop that you two." Woo Bin said. "Let's eat."

The six people headed towards the cafeteria where balloons floated and banners hang, saying, "Happy birthday Yi Jung!"

Each settled on a chair around the rectangular table. Jun Pyo and Yi Jung occupied the end chairs while Jan Di sat on the seat on the right of Jun Pyo. Ga Eul settled herself beside her best friend, making her sit at the left of Yi Jung. Ji Hoo and Woo Bin occupied the chairs opposite the two girls.

They had their lunch, a 5- course meal for about an hour. Afterwards came Yi Jung's birthday cake which is shaped like a vase. Before Yi Jung blew the candles, the F4, Jan Di and Ga Eul, as well as the other students of Shinhwa sang him a birthday song first. Upon the end of the song, Ji Hoo said, "Make your wish first before you blow the candles."

Yi Jung closed his eyes and in his head, he wished, 'I want to meet that mysterious girl a while ago.' Afterwards, he blew the candles in front of him.

"Can I get my presents?" Yi Jung asked as he opened his eyes.

"You already had it." Woo Bin said. "The dance, remember?"

"This lunch is my treat." Jun Pyo announced.

"I helped with the decorations." Ji Hoo stated.

"I didn't get you anything since you already seem to have everything." Jan Di said.

Yi Jung turned to the girl sitting on his left. "I expect that paper bag is my gift, Ga Eul- yang."

Ga Eul turned to face him and handed the paper bag. "It's nothing, actually."

Yi Jung put his hand inside the paper bag and grabbed the cloth he felt inside. When he brought it out to the open, his mouth formed to a small grin. "Hand warmers, eh? Thank you Ga Eul- yang."

"You made it yourself?" Woo Bin asked.

Ga Eul just nodded to answer his question.

"I want one too." Woo Bin declared.

"Me too." Ji Hoo said.

Ga Eul smiled at them to say that she'd make them too when Yi Jung said, "Don't make them one Ga Eul- yang. You'll only make hand warmers for me, okay?"

"Selfish." Woo Bin commented on what Yi Jung said about Ga Eul making hand warmers only for him.

"I've always been when it comes to things Ga Eul- yang does." Yi Jung said.

"Yah Yi Jung! You're saying something a while ago about a girl." Jun Pyo interrupted.

"Huh?" Yi Jung asked as a puzzled look crossed his face.

"Oh yeah." Woo Bin also remembered. "You only said, 'There's this one girl…' and you were cut off because Jan Di and Ga Eul arrived. What is that about?"

"Oh! I remember. There's a girl a while ago during the…" Again, Yi Jung was cut short because his phone started ringing. When he looked at the caller ID, it was his grandfather. He clicked on the green button and said to the other line, "Yes grandfather. What is it?"

"Happy birthday my grandson!" Grandfather So greeted Yi Jung. "Please come home tonight. I want to tell you something."

By saying home, Grandfather So was pertaining to their ancestral house in Ilsan. Yi Jung would only go home there once in a while when his grandfather asks him to.

"Thank you, grandfather. What is it about?" Yi Jung asked out of curiosity because usually, his grandfather would tell the matters to him over the phone.

"You'll know it later. By the way, you attend the same school as Chu Ga Eul, right? The granddaughter of Chu Il Sook, the famous international painter."

"Yes grandfather. Why do you ask of it?"

"Bring her with you when you come home tonight. I want to meet her. I'll see you later." And with that, Grandfather So hung up.

Yi Jung put down his phone and turned to Ga Eul. "Ga Eul- yang, my grandfather wants to see you tonight. Don't ask me why because I don't know either. What time does your class end?"

"It ends at four." Ga Eul answered him.

"Okay then. I'll meet you at the entrance of the Art Building at four. You're coming with me."
