Chapter 14 - Can't Forget You
Jae Kyung got down the plane followed close by Woo Bin. It had been a few days until she was able to leave the USA, since she had to press charge against Han Ju and had to explain her parents and the FBI what had actually happened. Since the F4 had been able to gather enough evidences, things went much more smoothly.
Her father understood quite quickly that she had fallen into a trap but didn't blame her.
"- You're still young, dear. With time, you'll be able to understand quite quickly what the other part is trying to do… I mean, you do intend to keep working, don't you?
Her father had asked that looking towards her and Woo Bin, sited in front of him. They were in the hospital room her father had been occupying for months now. Her mother was also present but wasn't speaking at all. She kept on glancing towards Woo Bin.
Jae Kyung looked from her father to Woo Bin, who quickly said to her:
- It's your decision. You chose what you want to do…
She smiled and said, now looking to her father:
- Ok. Then please let me take hold of the company, dad!
- Alright, then. You know you're not alone so, if you need anything or anytime you don't understand something, don't hesitate to ask, ok?
- Ok! – she said, smiling openly.
- Now, about you, young man… - Jae Kyung's father said, looking towards Woo Bin. Jae Kyung made a move to protest but Woo Bin signed her not to. – Who exactly are you?
- Song Woo Bin.
- Hum… your name is quite known, even here. – the old man said, a hint of a smirk on his face. – And you're the one who has stolen my daughter's heart?
- Correct.
- How do you feel about her?
- … - he blushed a little, as well as Jae Kyung. After it he gulped hard and said, as strongly as he could. – I like her very much. I really, really love her.
- … Ok, then. So, what do you plan to do?
- Eh? About what? – Woo Bin asked confused.
- Well, you've stolen my girl's heart so you have to take some blame for it, don't you?
- Ye… yeah…
- Do you wish to marry her?
- FATHER!
- Shut up, Jae Kyung! This is between me and him…
- Sir, if I may… I really, really love your daughter very much. However, I believe we should wait a little bit more before taking that step.
- And why, if I may ask?
- I want to make sure Jae Kyung doesn't regret choosing me…
- Never! – she said. Woo Bin turned to look towards her and smiled a little.
- I also want to make sure you learn enough and get your company on track before deciding anything else. I want to be with you but I can't be selfish and took you away when your company needs you the most…
She smiled a little and said:
- Ok, I understand.
- Very well, then. – her father said, making everyone turn around to face him. – I concede two weeks, and no more than that, of vacation to my daughter. I believe you deserve them for holding up the fort until now… but after the time is up, I want you to get back stronger than before and ready to get this company going on…"
And so it had been: Jae Kyung and the remaining F4 were back in Korea and she had two weeks of vacations in front of her.
Seo Hyun was waiting for them at the airport and hugged Jae Kyung fiercely, happy to see she was alright and back.
- Welcome back!
- Thank you! It's good to be back… - she said, after hugging the former model.
- Well then, what do you guys want to do now? – asked an already excited Jae Kyung.
- I'm getting back to Sweden tomorrow night, so I'll be leaving with Ga Eul if you don't mind… - Yi Jung said, grasping Ga Eul's hand. The girl blushed and smiled a little.
- I have classes tomorrow morning so I'll have to pass. – said Jan Di, eying suspiciously the hand that holded Ga Eul's.
- Me too. I'm working tomorrow. – said Ji Hoo.
- I also have work piled up from these last days…
Everyone turned to look at Jun Pyo, who remained silent. Looking to their expecting faces, he asked:
- What? It's not my fault I have nothing to do!
- Actually you have… - Jan Di said, slowly.
- I do?
- Yes. You're coming with me.
- Where? - he said, smiling happily as a child.
- Stop asking so many questions… - his girlfriend said, between gritted teeth, before everyone's laughter at Jun Pyo's "density".
- Well, then. – Jae Kyung said, with a smile. Everyone turned to look at her. – I just wanted to thank you all, for everything…
- There's nothing to be thankful about… - Ga Eul said, smiling. – You're one of the F4 girls, you know?
- F4 girls? – asked Jan Di surprised.
- Sounds nice… doesn't it?- Seo Hyun commented with a smile.
- Yeah… yeah, it does…
- Thank you… - Jae Kyung said, once more. – I'll call you guys later!
- Ok. Enjoy your vacations! – shouted Jan Di, while she pulled Jun Pyo with her.
- Hey, Woo Bin-ah! Make sure she gets some rest and don't keep her up all night! – shouted Yi Jung.
- Shut up!
- Yi Jung's is right. You should at least get over some of your jet lag before start thinking about other things…
- Not you too, Ji Hoo-ah! – rumbled Woo Bin, as they were left alone walking towards Woo Bin's car. Their bodyguards awaited in their car for them to get ready. – Jeez, I'm surrounded by crazy people…
- Are you? Then what am I? – Jae Kyung said, glancing at him sideway.
- You? – he said, while hugging her, making both of them stop and lean against his Lotus side. – You're the craziest of all!
- Yet, you love me…
- Yet, I love you. - he said, bending to kiss her.
They stayed like that for moments before Woo Bin said anything.
- So… you want to crash at my place for your holidays?
- Can I?
- Of course you can.
- Do you have any spare bed I can use?
- I wasn't thinking about using any other bed beside mine…
- Oh, yours! – she mocked. – I recall it was really comfortable…
- See? Then why do you need any other bed?
- Hum… I don't know… you might attack me when I'm asleep…
Woo Bin smirked against her cheek where he placed a kiss.
- No problem. I'll make sure you stay awake so I can attack you at ease…
She smirked and hugged him fiercely.
- I'm sorry… - she said.
- For what?
- For saying those things about my company and you...
- Was it a lie, then?
- Of course it was! – she answered, almost seeming pained that he wasn't believing her. - It pained me a lot, having to lie to you, that night… I couldn't forget you...
He smirked.
- I believed in what you said, you know? For a long time now, the thought of being a mafia prince or gangster has been bothering me… I've always considered myself to be unable to keep up with the other F4. I mean, Jun Pyo is the heir to the company who rules Korea, Yi Jung is a well known potter, Ji Hoo is the grandson of the former president and directs his own company and I…
Jae Kyung placed her hand upon his mouth, preventing him from saying what he was going to say next. He looked at her curiously and she smirked.
- Don't. Why do you always lower yourself and your value? Have you really looked at yourself without thinking what the others might judge you about?
- Huh?
- Well, as far as I know you, you've never left a friend without support when they most needed you. You're always there when they need you and most of the time without judging what your actions might end up implying. You don't care for yourself as long as they stay safe and happy… - she said with a smile.
- You're just saying it because I saved you… - he said, uncomfortably blushing.
- No. I'm saying what the other F4 girls also think… being in love with you is merely a bonus for admiring you… - she said, grinning as she lifted herself to his lips.
- So… you couldn't forget me, was it? – he mocked.
- … - she blushed under his piercing eyes– More like I didn't want to…
They kissed for a while before Woo Bin finally decided they could do things much more interesting than just kissing and they took off to his house.
Woo Bin's father only met Jae Kyung two days later, when he returned from a trip to Italy. He already knew of his son's success and couldn't be happier. The reason, he stated, was because he knew Jae Kyung would be the best half Woo Bin could ever be glad to found off.
- Just don't make the same mistake I did, when I let your mother go… - he had said to his son, during lunch. – Even today, I regret ever letting her go…
Woo Bin, on the contrary of laughing off his father's statements, took it very seriously.
The weeks passed on a blur, between their numerous dates, Woo Bin's work and news from the USA concerning Han Ju. It ended up being proved that Han Ju had not only raped and molested the girls The F4 found out, but it seemed like there were cases like that a little all over the country. He was condemned to pay huge sums of money as compensations to every girl and woman he had hurt. He was also found out to be implied in a conspiracy to remove the Korean president with help from companies inside and outside Korea.
One morning, as Jae Kyung was laying in the bed in front of the TV, still in pajamas, she closed it because she couldn't bear to hear or see anything else related to Han Ju. She had been having nightmares recently, and could only calm herself when she snuggled closer to Woo Bin, at night. Blushing, she hide her face in the nearest pillow and didn't saw who entered the room from the bathroom.
She shrieked when she felt a pair of hands around her waist, tickling her. Gasping for breath, she laughed nonstop until she came to halter in Woo Bin's arms. He was smirking.
- Good morning…
- You scared me!
- Were you expecting someone else?
- Yes, I was. – she said, defiantly.
- Oh, really? Who?
- My lover… - she said, tossing her tong out of her mouth and laughing before his hurt-fake face.
- What are you doing today? – she asked.
- I have to visit a few constructing sites… boring stuff…
- You poor thing… - she said, caressing his face.
- I'd rather enjoy our last days…
- I know…
- When are you going back?
- Tomorrow. But it's not like we're not going to see each other anymore!
- We're not. – he said, almost pouting.
- Well, technically speaking. I'm going to call when I can…
- … Are you going to have any vacations?
- Probably. Just don't know when… - she said, as she played with his hair.
- You'll have to tell me when you have time for me…
- Always… and you'll have to tell me whenever you're in the USA…
- Sure.
- … We're talking as if we're going to depart now…
- … You're not planning on going beforehand, are you? – he asked suspicious.
- No.
- Not in the middle of the night?
- No.
- … That's good. And where are you going today?
- Perhaps I'm going to have lunch with Ga Eul and Jan Di at the porridge shop.
- Ok. I'll meet you for dinner then…
- Ok.
- Love you…
- … - she smiled openly before kissing him. – Love you too.
So, what did you guys think?
