Ga Eul,

It's been five days since I last saw you and, truthfully, I'm quite tired of just talking to you through letters (which you don't reply to, but I don't care, so don't think that'll stop me from continuing). I came home for you and I don't even get to see you. So, meet me? I'll be outside the porridge shop at 6pm.

Yi Jeong

Jan Di smiled to herself as she read the letter. Ga Eul told her about Yi Jeong's letters to her and how he promised to write to her everyday to make it up to her. Jan Di had to admit, she never expected this of the playboy. And it looks like he has more in store for Ga Eul. Jan Di hid the letter in her bag and as she heard Ga Eul come out to check her mail.

"Jan Di! What are you doing here?" she asked, as she went to hug her best friend in greeting. Ga Eul hasn't seen Jan Di since her engagement. She was always busy and they only got to talk on the phone.

"I missed you! You don't have work, right? C'mon, let's go out!" Jan Di said, excitedly. She pulled Ga Eul's hand and Ga Eul can't help but think that Jan Di has been hanging out with the F4 for so long that she already caught one of their signature moves, one that she called, The Pull. She has seen Jun Pyo do this to Jan Di a lot of times when she didn't want to go with him and she has experienced this with Yi Jeong as well. Speaking of that rascal…

She was about to get her hands on her mailbox to open it when Jan Di pulled even more.

"C'mon now, Ga Eul! You can check his letter later!" Jan Di told her, smirking.

"Who said I was going to do that?" she replied, defending herself but Jan Di isn't even looking at her anymore as she dragged her to the sidewalk to start their day.

"Where are we going now?" Ga Eul asked Jan Di as soon as they were walking on a normal pace. They have just finished running away from Jun Pyo's bodyguards who have been following them since this morning. She was having one of her best days, it was like a break from all the drama she has with Yi Jeong. She and Jan Di went to the amusement park, ate at places they never did when they were with F4, and ran around Seoul, trying to lose the bodyguards.

"We should visit master in the porridge shop." Jan Di said, she looked at her watch. It was twenty minutes before six. She would be just in time.

Ga Eul smiled and nodded her head, "That's a great idea! I miss that place."

A few more minutes to the porridge shop, Jan Di asked Ga Eul.a question.

"How are things with Yi Jeong sunbae?" Ga Eul stopped walking and turned to Jan Di.

"Why do you ask?" she said, keeping a straight face.

"Well, you told me about the letters but you never really told me how you felt about him." Jan Di answered. She knew Ga Eul still felt something for Yi Jeong, she just wanted to hear her admit it. For her own sake.

"I don't know, Jan Di. I mean, whenever I think about giving him a chance, I remember all the times I cried because of him and I back off." She confessed.

"He really did hurt you." Jan Di said, as she listened to Ga Eul. These were words of a broken heart.

"Do you remember the time Jun Pyo sunbae went to Macau and he didn't contact you for six months?" Jan Di nodded.

"Try multiplying that pain by eight. That's how much I hurt." Jan Di couldn't help it anymore. She had to tell Ga Eul what she did. She wouldn't want Ga Eul getting surprised in front of Yi Jeong. She didn't have to take that.

"I have to show you something." She handed Ga Eul Yi Jeong's letter and watched as her eyes widened in shock.

"Why do you have that?" Ga Eul asked, pointing to the letter in Jan Di's hand.

"I did a really nosy thing a while ago."

"Yi Jeong sunbae!" she called out as soon as she saw his figure standing in front of Ga Eul's mailbox. He turned to her and gave a small wave. She went to stand by his side and asked what he was doing there.

"I just came to drop off my letter. Did she tell you about that?" he asked her.

Jan Di nodded. "Yes. You seem to really want her back, sunbae."

"I do. I need her to know that." Jan Di smiled at potter's honesty.

"Why don't I give it to her?" she suggested, holding her hands out for the letter. Yi Jeong thought for a moment and realized maybe Jan Di could help him. He handed her the letter and said,

"I have something planned for her tonight. It's in that letter. I, uh, don't know if she would like to see me but…I…really wanna see her." he said sheepishly. Was he blushing?

Jan Di couldn't help but smile at his nervousness.

"You want me to convince her to go?" she asked.

"Yes, if you could."

Jan Di agreed and waved goodbye at Yi Jeong as he got into his car. She knew that Ga Eul still loved Yi Jeong, she was just trying to protect her heart. She has noticed the change in her, she was less lively, she never spoke of love and there were times when she would appear cold and empty. That needed to be changed, Yi Jeong might just be the cure, even if he was the cause. But knowing the new version of Ga Eul, she didn't think she'd agree to going out with Yi Jeong tonight, even if Jan Di convinced her to. She'll find a way to get out of it, Jan Di was sure. It was a good thing she had a plan…

"You set me up!" Ga Eul was outraged. How could Jan Di do this to her? She was supposed to be on her side!

"Only because you wouldn't have come otherwise! Just give it a shot, Ga Eul, he seems to have really changed." Jan Di tried to reason with her best friend.

"But..but…" she tried to think of something to say, anything, that would make Jan Di take her back.

"You told me once that love is obtained only by those with courage. I'm telling you the same thing now." Jan Di knew she was doing the right thing. She saw the look on Yi Jeong's face this morning, there was no way he was bluffing.

"I know that, Jan Di. But what if he hurts me? I'm not going to be push-over Ga Eul anymore. I can't let him in again." She said, with such sadness that it broke Jan Di's heart. Jan Di gripped her friend's shoulders and said,

"Chu Ga Eul, listen to me. I am your best friend and you know how much I hate it when you get hurt. Do you really think I'd bring you here tonight if I had the slightest feeling that he would hurt you? You know I wouldn't. And you also know that if he did, he'd get more than a spinning kick from me." She hoped she was right. Don't you dare prove me wrong, Yi Jeong sunbae!

Ga Eul sighed. There was no way out of this. She was going to see Yi Jeong sunbae tonight. She knew this would happen sometime, they had the same friends, there was no way she could avoid him forever. But she didn't expect him to be the one to initiate it. She thought that by not replying to his letters, he'd get the idea that she wasn't going to be won over. But, apparently, that didn't do it. She would be lying if she said the letters didn't affect her. Because it did, a great deal, actually. The letter following the first was apologetic. She remembered reading something along the lines of,

You said you thought I never thought about you in Sweden. I never thought about anything but you in Sweden and I'm sorry for making you feel otherwise.

He wasn't only sorry about the last four years. He also wrote about the how he hurt her before he left, always pushing her away and that one incident with his father,

I'm sorry for that night. I have replayed that night a lot in my head and it's like killing myself multiple times.

The third letter was thankful; she remembered a particularly striking line,

I want you to know you made me better. You still do. I'd be the dumbest person in the world if I didn't take this chance to prove to you how thankful I am.

This was the fourth, the one she held in her hands. She looked at Jan Di, she looked so sure about this. Jan Di wrapped a supporting arm on her shoulders and led her to the porridge shop.

He was already there when they arrived, leaning on his orange car, looking every bit of a movie star than he had any right to. Jan Di felt Ga Eul stiffen at the sight.

"Yi Jung sunbae!" Jan Di called out. Yi Jeong turned his head and almost dropped his phone. He looked like a nervous wreck.

"You came." He said, as soon as he recovered. He really thought she'd ditch him. She was still so angry the last he saw her. I won't ever underestimate Geum Jan Di's convincing powers again.

Ga Eul looked at anywhere but him. Why did he have to look the way he did? It was just unfair.

"Well, if you really didn't expect me to come, maybe we should just go. C'mon, Jan Di…" She said, trying to get away but she felt a firm grip on her arm. She looked up at him and saw him smile. Stop that!

"Stop that!" she really did say, glaring up at him.

"I was just surprised, Ga Eul yang. Let's get going." He led her to his car and she gave one last pleading look to Jan Di. Jan Di just smiled even more.

Before getting on the car, Yi Jeong turned to Jan Di to thank her.

"Don't hurt her this time, sunbae. I trust you on this. Or else you're gonna find out how my spinning kick feels. Jun Pyo and the others probably won't let you get off easily too." She told him, warningly. Yi Jeong chuckled,

"I promise, Jan Di. I think I can handle my friends, but I have no power against your skills." He waved goodbye and entered the car. He looked at Ga Eul. She was just looking straight ahead, not saying anything.

He started driving. Ga Eul just shifted her gaze outside the window, but never to him.

"So what made you decide to come?" he asked, trying to get her to look at him. She didn't.

"Jan Di set me up. You know, she really is hanging out with you guys too much." She said.

"Wow, I didn't think Geum Jan Di had it in her." he was quite disappointed she didn't come by will, but he'd take whatever he got if he gets to spend time with her. She finally looks at him.

"So where are we going, sunbae?"
