Confrontations were never her thing. When they were kids, Jan Di would always be the one defending her from all the bullies and even up to the time she was cheated on by that scum Soo Pyo, Jan Di was the one who told him off and spin kicked him. Ga Eul was never one to come up to the person first, until she met a certain So Yi Jeong. She hated to admit it, but everything was different with him. All her life, she thought that she'd meet her soulmate maybe some place romantic like Paris or in a plane, they'd be perfect for each other, rarely arguing and always getting along. He wouldn't get to her nerve almost thrice a day and he definitely wouldn't have hurt so many times. She never imagined herself to be the kind of girl who would go to almost every building roof in Seoul just to find something to make sure they guy she loved found out how it was to regret, specifically letting of his first love. Quite stupid, huh? She was also never one to confess first to a guy, much less ask him out. She was never the kind of girl, who stayed and stayed, even if she knew he might never love her back. But she wasn't really being that kind of girl to him now, was she? No, she was cold and filled with pride, refusing to admit, even to herself, that she had lost this fight. But what was she fighting for anyway? She couldn't even remember now.

"Sunbae, I'm sorry." Ga Eul says to the mirror for the umpteenth time. She groaned in frustration at how scripted that sounded.

"Please forgive me!" Too desperate.

"Sunbae, if you would just listen…I'm sorry!" Too pleading.

"If I could go back in time, I would. I would go back to that day and...." Too dramatic.

Nothing was working! She was going to see him in less than half an hour and she still had no idea on what she was going to tell him. She stood there in front of the mirror, in her bridesmaid's dress, wondering if he would even accept what she had to say. She hears an impatient knock on her door.

"Ga Eul! Come out already. It's usually the bride who's late, not the bridesmaids." She quickly comes out, meeting the other bridesmaid, the very excited one, Ha Jae Kyung.

"And it's usually the bride who is excited, not the bridesmaid." She tells her as they make their way to black car that was to take them to the garden where Jan Di and Jun pyo were getting married.

"I can't help it! There's just something about witnessing two soulmates commit to start the rest of their lives together. Even if, you know, I was once in love with the knucklehead who is getting married." Ga Eul couldn't help but admire Jae Kyung's strength. They all knew it wasn't easy for her, but like Ji Hu, she has accepted that they were just mere instruments for Jan Di and Jun Pyo to have their happy ending. But she was going to have her own happy ending someday, and so would Ji Hu, it would be unfair if two selfless people wouldn't. But Jae Kyung's use of the term 'soulmate' brings Ga Eul back to her problem. What the hell was she going to say to him?

Yi Jeong's breathe hitches as he watches her walk down that aisle. She was in her purple bridesmaid's dress, a similarily colored flower tucked on her right ear. She barely had make-up on and compared to the heiresses from different countries that Jun Pyo's mom invited here, she looked pretty normal. But Yi Jeong doesn't think he's seen anything or anyone as beautiful.

She slowly walks to other side of the best men, Jae Kyung right in front of her. She feels Yi Jeong's eyes on her but she doesn't dare to look back. But her position in the altar leaves her no choice. She looks at him and he smiles. Her heart immediately melts. How could he smile after everything she's said? Was she already forgiven?

Yi Jeong wishes he could've talked to her before the wedding started. They both said a lot of things the other night, and he wishes he could apologize about the way he acted. But the wedding immediately started at their arrival with Jan Di and he didn't get a chance. So instead, he smiles at her when she finally decides to meet his eyes. He sees a blush creep up her cheek and he couldn't help but feel proud, even when they were fighting, he still had that effect on her.

The ceremony goes on smoothly, surprisingly. Jun Pyo didn't choke as he recited his written vows and Jan Di managed to limit her use of violent words in hers. They were both happy, anyone could see that and as they walk down in front of people present in the ceremony, Ga Eul couldn't help the tear falling anymore. She doesn't even realize who she was standing next to. She sees something from the corner of her eye, a hand handing out something to her. A handkerchief and it was purple. She didn't need to look up to see who it was instead; she reaches out to take it.

The reception party was at full blast and everyone was celebrating the couple. It wasn't a usual reception that the rich people were used to. It was held in Jun Pyo and Jan Di's 'special' place, the one where he waited all night in the rain for her. Jun Pyo had rented the whole open space and Jan Di took over the preparations. She already handed the wedding planning to Jun Pyo's mom, it was a part of their deal that she would get the reception. Drinks were served and lively music was playing. Everyone in the place was mingling with each other drinking and having fun. So it was weird that Ga Eul and Yi Jeong would find themselves alone in one of the benches they had set up there, looking at the party in full view.

"They look incredibly happy." She tells him as Jun Pyo and Jan Di share their first dance in the make shift dance floor in the middle of the place. They have been sitting here for a while now, not one of them speaking. It was a comfortable silence, but they had things to talk about.

"They do" he agrees. He looks over at her, seeing her eyes sparkle at the display of love in front of her. He silently vows to keep that sparkle in her eyes forever.

"Sunbae," she starts. As much as she enjoyed their small words, this needed to be done. "I'm sorry."

He looks at her, as if disbelieving that she was actually the first to talk. She looks back at him and she the sincerity in her face breaks his heart. He didn't deserve this.

"No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted that way…"

"But I shouldn't have given you a reason to. I was insensitive and…"

"I was being childish and stupid…."

"And I was being rash and unreasonable…" they finally stop talking and just sit there, looking straight at each other's eyes.

"Forgive me?" they both say at the same time. They laugh and Ga quickly nod her head in delight. Yi Jeong pinches her nose and feels her shiver. At his touch or at the cold, he couldn't tell. He'd like to think it was because of him. Either way, he shrugs off his coat and wraps it around her. She smiles up at him and looks back at the happy couple in front of them. Jun pyo was now talking to everyone at the place, saying she he had a surprise for his most beloved girl. And then, one by one, the lights of the building in front of them up, with different colors. And soon, the whole place was lighting up. it was like something out of a movie.

"It's beautiful." Yi Jeong looks at Ga Eul as the lights around them twinkle in her eyes. He stared at her and wonders what someone so beautiful, inside and out, was doing sitting here with him and in his life.

"Yeah, it is."

Ga Eul gets a mischievous gleam in her eyes. She smirks but she doesn't look at him.

"Are you doing that thing in the movies where the girl says something is beautiful and the guy agrees but he's really looking at her?" she looks at him after saying this, she was in full tease mode now. Damn, she was good.

"You sure do know how to ruin a moment Ga Eul yang." He tells her as he hesitantly looks away. He smiles as she laughs heartily at his expense.

"You're too cute, sunbae." Now, that he couldn't let her get away with. Cute? Him?

"Cute? Definitely not. Maybe you mean dashing or handsome or incredibly attractive. Cute is for dogs, Ga Eul yang." He finishes. He was supposed to say something else but he forgets everything as his whole body gets tense as she leans his head into hers.

For a moment, it was just them in the whole place. There was no dancing, or music, just them. Suddenly all the history, and the pain and the hurting, ceased to matter as they sat their next to each other. It was as if the whole world has stopped for them and for that single moment, they forget about their fight, the unsent letters and the missed birthdays. They realize they both need this, this escape from the world they were sucked in, a rest from this game they were playing. They were both tired of fighting it and as the night go on around them, they wonder why they fought for the things they did when giving up felt this good.

"I still think you're cute, sunbae."
