Jun Pyo's proposal to Jan Di got Yi Jeong thinking. Will that ever happen to him and Ga Eul? Not while she's acting this way, it won't. What was her deal anyway? Before he left, she was all about love and soulmates and destiny. Maybe she still is, just not with you anymore. No! He wasn't going to let that happen. Ga Eul was just playing around with him. But, for what? Did she think he'll like her more if she played hard to get? How was liking her more even possible?
"Yi Jeong! We're all going out for dinner. You ready to leave?" Woo Bin called after him. He was still gazing onto the beach after they all pushed Jan Di (and the rest followed) into the water. They were all wet, yes, but it was a lot of fun. The rest were now drying themselves away from the water. He had to bring Ga Eul here soon.
"You okay?" Woo Bin asked when he didn't answer.
"Woo Bin, can I ask you something?" He figured Woo Bin would know what was up with Ga Eul considering he never left Seoul permanently, just a few out of the country trips here and there.
"About Ga Eul yang?" Woo Bin looked at his best friend knowingly.
"How did you know?" he asked, although he probably wasn't that hard to read for someone who knew him since kindergarten.
"You're not that hard to read." See?
"She works as a teacher now, you know." Woo Bin continued. Yi Jeong looked at him confusingly, exactly how he looked at Ga Eul when she asked him when he had arrived.
"Of course I knew that, where did you think I was before meeting up with you?" Woo Bin stared at him as if he just grew another head.
"You actually saw her first? For real?"
"Why is that so surprising? I promised her. I told you about that, you idiot." He said, playfully shoving Woo Bin.
"Well, you didn't really show any sign of fulfilling that promise for the past four years." Before, Yi Jeong could ask Woo Bin what he meant by that, Jun Pyo and Ji Hu were already dragging them to the restaurant nearby.
They were all having a pleasant dinner; it was just like old times. Jun Pyo and Jan Di arguing like a married couple, Ji Hu and his usual good-natured, subtle remarks, and Woo Bin with his funny, sometimes inappropriate, comments. The only thing quite off was other group's resident playboy. He talked but not as much as everyone was used to. They just slid it off as jetlag or something.
After dinner, Yi Jeong caught up Jan Di while the others were playing pool nearby. Of course, they also had a F4 lounge here, they had one made in places they frequent. The difference with this one is that it was open, for them to enjoy the night breeze. Jan Di was sitting on the steps of the lounge, where Jun Pyo can watch over her(All together: Awww!:), overlooking the beach.
"Geum Jan Di." The former waitress now turned Med student looked over at her companion.
"Yi Jeong sunbae." She greeted him with a smile and a small nod.
"Condolence, by the way, on having to spend the rest of your life with that moron." He said, looking back at Jun Pyo. Jan Di laughed at one of her boyfriend's oldest friends and gave him a playful shove.
"Yah, Gu Jun Pyo's not that bad…" With saying that, Jun Pyo's voice reached the two.
"Woo Bin! That was clearly cheating! You want to die?"
Jan Di and Yi Jeong laughed.
"What was I thinking? Is it too late to get out of this?" she asked no one in particular. Yi Jeong had to laugh at the girl who changed the seemingly unchangeable Gu Jun Pyo.
"So, Yi Jeong sunbae, I'm sure you didn't come here to talk about Jun Pyo. What is it?" she asked.
Yi Jeong looked at her and smiled. "Ga Eul." was all he needed to say.
"Ah, of course. She's doing pretty well now. You should come see her. She works at…" she didn't even get a chance to finish because Yi Jeong cut her off.
"I know where she works! I went there as soon as I got here. Surely she told about my promise before I left?" Jan Di had the same look Woo Bin had earlier.
"You came for her? Well, that's something. Why didn't you bring her here?" She would have loved to have her best friend here with her now. She wonders how Ga Eul is after finding out Yi Jeong actually came through with his promise. I wonder why she hasn't called yet…
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. She said she had a…date?" Yi Jeong almost didn't want to say the word. Jan Di choked on the water she was drinking.
"Date? Ga Eul said she had a date?" she asked as soon as she could talk.
"Yes. Is there something wrong?" Jan Di wondered if she should tell him that Ga Eul was lying but decided otherwise. If Ga Eul had to lie to get rid of Yi Jeong, she must have a good reason.
"No. Nothing's wrong." She said, smiling so as to hide her lie. " That Ga Eul sure knows how to make an excuse…" she said under her breath. Yi Jeong thought he heard something.
"What was that?" he asked.
"Oh nothing, nothing." Jan Di said, laughing nervously.
"So what is it to you if Ga Eul has a date?" she mused.
"Well, I was hoping that, you know, when I came back, Ga Eul would…" It was the first time Jan Di ever saw the potter nervous. But she was confused; he didn't contact her at all in four years, why was he acting this way?
"But, Yi Jeong sunbae, did you think Ga Eul would wait for you? Even after what you did?" she asked, with a little more attitude, defending her best friend. Yi Jeong looked at her weirdly. What did he do?
"After what I did?"
"You didn't call her at all. She tried to tell us that she wasn't expecting anything from you but I know my best friend. She was really hurt her really bad." She said thoughtfully, briefly glancing at Yi Jeong. What she saw startled her, the look on the Casanova's face was…weird. It was like he was hearing this for the first time. I hurt her? But…I thought I was doing the right thing. That's when it dawned on him. Woo Bin and Jan Di's reaction, Ga Eul's new attitude, the reason why Ga Eul was acting that way. She wanted…
Revenge?
