"I can take her home instead" Yi Jeong said with a small smile marked on his face. Ga Eul looked at Yi Jeong. She wasn't expecting this from him. Yi Jeong noticed that and gave her a wink. Ga Eul looked away to hide the light blush on her cheeks. Yi Jeong couldn't help but smile at this. He doesn't fail to prove that he's a casanova.

"See Jan Di, you don't have to worry" Jun Pyo said trying to convince Jan Di to go home and rest for her own sake.

"Besides, I don't have anything to do tonight" Yi Jeong said.

"And our house is surely a long way from yours" said Ga Eul "It's approximately an hour ride."

Jan Di thought for a while. "I think you're right. Good night then. Yi Jeong, take care of her and make sure she arrives home safely or else…" Jan Di said her last remarks and made a gesture saying that 'you're dead'.

As soon as Jan Di left, Yi Jeong opened the car door and signaled Ga Eul to go inside. Ga Eul, with no choice, got in and settled herself. Yi Jeong also settled his self on the driver's seat. He buckled his seatbelt and also buckled Ga Eul's seatbelt for her. Ga Eul suddenly became nervous and she can hear her heart pounding loudly as she saw his face only a few inches away from hers.

The ride was really silent. Well, not just really silent, deafening maybe. Yi Jeong was getting bored so he started a conversation.

"So, where do you live? How come it's too far?" Yi Jeong said.

"Uhh… actually that's my grandparents' house. I live near the old church not far from school." She answered with a rather shaky voice and her eyes still stuck outside the window at her right or on the road.

"Okay" he said but he was a little annoyed/irritated when she did not look at him.

A few minutes later…

"Sunbae, please stop the car in front of that gate."

"Here?" he asked and parked his car.

"Ne" she said and took off the seatbelt just before Yi Jeong could do so. "Kamsahamnida, sunbae." She said and bowed her head a little and she immediately got out of the car.

Now completely annoyed, he scoffed and said to himself 'Why is she so cold to me?Did I even do something wrong?' When she was already out of his sight, he sped off.


Ga Eul was in deep thought while lying on her bed. She fell fast asleep and dreamed about something … strange.

"You can help them Ga Eul-yang. Trust me" a familiar voice said but Ga Eul couldn't see the owner of the voice because all she could see is a very bright light.

"How?"

"It's up to you. You will know it. Just do what you think is right."

She was awakened by her alarm clock the next morning. She thought about that strange dream of hers. "That's strange." She looked again to her alarm clock and then prepared for school.


Yong Dam came to school early that morning so she decided to stroll around the campus. She sat down on a bench near the beautiful garden of Shin Hwa High. She noticed that someone is around. She turned her head and saw Shin.

"Shin-ah"

"This is for you" he said as he lent a bouquet of pink roses to Yong Dam.

"Kamsahamnida" she said and got the flowers. Shin doesn't fail to surprise her with presents.

Shin sat beside her. Yong Dam looked at Shin and saw his face which was telling that something is bothering him.

"Shin, is there a problem? You look so serious."

"You really could tell?"

Yong Dam nodded.

"In a short while, I'll not be the free Shin anymore."

"What does that mean?"

"I'll be engaged."

"How did it happen?"

Shin told her what happened the night before. While they were talking, Ga Eul saw them. She did not dare to go nearer because she can sense that what they're talking about was really important.

Ga Eul sat down under under the shade of the large tree and eventually scanning the horizon. She was thinking about her dream last night.

A few minutes later, Shin and Yong Dam stood from where they were seated. Shin walked towards the enormous gates and Yong Dam walked the opposite direction where Ga Eul was staying.

"Ga Eul" a voice called her which snapped her back to reality. She found Yong Dam looking at her from a distance. Ga Eul hurriedly stood up.

"Yong Dam, how long have you been there?" 'Oh great what a question. She should be the one asking that.' She thought.

"Only a few seconds ago?"

"What's that you're holding?"

"Oh this?" she raised the bouquet a little "A special someone gave this to me." She said and let out a smile. "What were you doing there?"

"Nothing, just daydreaming? You know… How about you?"

Yong dam looked back and Ga eul, being curious, also did the same and saw Shin.

"Where is he going? Isn't he attending classes?" Ga Eul asked and looked at Yong Dam.

"Ga Eul, can I trust you?" she said when she faced Ga Eul again.

"What do you mean?"

"He told me something really serious and I think I can't hold it in my self."

"What's it about?"

"Shin and his father talked last night…"

(last night in the mansion of the Lees)

"shin, since you'll be turning 20 in three months, maybe its time" Mr. Lee said and got something from the pocket of his coaat. He put it on the wooden table in front of them. "This is a picture of the girl you are going to marry. For some reason, whether it is fate or coincidence, she happens to go to your school."

"What? She is from my school?" he asked to clarrify what he heard without loosing his formality.

"Yes and I assume you know her" his father said wearing a very bright smile.

Shin got the picture in front f him and stared at it for a few seconds. All of a sudden, his naturally small eyes became wide.

"So that's what happened?" Ga Eul asked once more. They have been talking while walking.

"That's what he told me."

"Why are you telling me this?

"Because I know that you can be trusted."

"Thank you for that statement of yours." Both of them chuckled.

They both arrived in their classroom a few minutes before classes started.
