Newest one! Chapter 5!

Mi Young sipped her apple juice and bobbed her head to the music, mimicking the words of the song from time to time. She was totally absent to everything around her, mainly because she hated being at the Mall, but this time she'd make an exception. In two days Dae Sung and Gyu Ri would have their first anniversary and the rest of the council had decided to get them something special, hence the visit to the mall. They had been looking around for two hours already, so in order to be more efficient they split into teams. Hana went with Kyu Hyun, Ga Eul got Jae Joong, Jun Su pulled Ye Eun after him so that left Mi Young and Si Won. The President went to get more juice and told Mi Young to wait for him. So there she sat.

All of a sudden a bottle appeared in front of her eyes, startling her. She let out a small squeak and then promptly turned to hit Si Won's arm. He laughed heartily at her attempt and ruffled her hair, which earned him another punch and a glare. Mi Young pouted, fixed her silver-rimmed glasses and followed Si Won who had started walking. "Hey! Wait for me!" She yelled after the boy and struggled to reach him. Both her arms wrapped around one of his in an attempt to keep up with his fast pace. "Slow down. Please, let's slow down." Mi Young pleaded with him, but he just grinned at her and dragged her further after him. 'He sure smiles a lot today. Must be one of his good moods…'

Her train of thoughts was interrupted when her eyes landed on a pair of couple-rings displayed by one of the shops. She pulled at Si Won's arm making him stop, "Look over there." She directed his gaze to the rings. The two pieces of golden jewellery gleamed in the light, beautiful in their simplicity. He got closer and analyzed them for a minute before telling Mi Young to call the others. Mi Young happily complied and sent a mass-message out to the rest of them, then she latched onto Si Won's arm and stared at the rings like a little child who had just seen the toy they wanted that Christmas. Si Won tried to hide a chuckle at her antics and she pinched his arm in revenge. "Shut up, Si Won-ah." Pretending to be offended she turned around, her back facing him.

Just then, something happened which made Mi Young gape and want to hide somewhere in a dark corner. Woo Bin rounded the corner, accompanied by Ye Jin of course, and the rest of the F4. "Oh my God." She muttered under her breath. Before she got the chance to pretend she hadn't seen them they started greeting her. "Dae Mi Young, what a surprise!" Woo Bin said as they got closer to her. In the meantime, Si Won had turned around and he was looking curiously at group before him. Of course he knew who the F4 were. Who didn't? But what the heck did they have to do with Mi Young? How did she know them? And talking about Mi Young, she seemed a bit uncomfortable so he put a hand on her shoulder hoping to ease her discomfort.

'I almost forgot about Si Won. Oh my god, this is so not good.' As soon as Si Won's hand made contact with Mi Young's shoulder, he was the one in the spotlight. Jan Di had a questioning look in her eyes while the rest looked surprised. "Annyeong!" Mi Young greeted back politely leaning in and smiled at them. "I'm here with a few classmates. This is Choi Si Won; he's my…"

"Is he your boyfriend?" Ye Jin interrupted her as she looked Si Won up and down. Mi Young gulped and started protesting while Si Won just stared stonily at the people before him.

"…friend. We're just friends. Right, Si Won-ah?" Si Won nodded his head and placed a small courteous smile on his face before giving a small bow. They were older than him after all. "Naneun Choi Si Won ibnida. Glad to make you acquaintance."

"Oh my God! It's the F4!" Everyone turned to see a stupefied Ye Eun and a very exasperated Jun Su. Hana and Ga Eul greeted them thus attracting the eyes of their classmates. "You know them? You know the F4?" Meanwhile Jan Di had here eyes on the boys next to Hana and Ga Eul this time looking annoyed. Mi Young's only guess was that Jan Di thought they had boyfriends and didn't tell her about it. Which was by no means true, of course. No matter how good-looking Si Won, Kyu Hyun and Jae Joong were or how desperately the girls wished to move on.

Hana cleared her throat and Mi Young pointed to the rings, the reason for calling them there. "Wow those are so cute." Ga Eul commented and Hana agreed while the rest nodded their heads. "We should totally get them for Gyu Ri and Sung Sung-ah!" she added quickly while pulling Jae Joong in the shop after her.

Outside a dumbfounded Yi Jeong stared after them. Taking pity on him Hana distracted everyone's attention and started the introductions. After a minute or so Jae Joong and Ga Eul came out with a neatly wrapped present and twin grins on their faces. "Guys, let's go now. We got what we wanted." Ga Eul said as she looked upon the F4, sending a questioning glance at Jan Di who was glaring at her.

"Oh you should stay a bit more. You could come with us." Jan Di countered, blatantly refusing to take no for an answer.

"Well then we'll see you tomorrow." Kyu Hyun smiled and passed a cup, which had gone unnoticed, to Hana before turning to leave. Hana waved at his retreating back before turning her attention to the others. Ye Jin and Jun Su excused themselves and quietly left.

"I'll take this." Jae Joong offered, taking the present from Ga Eul and pocketing it. He removed the scarf from around his neck and tied it to Ga Eul's before adding. "Because you forgot yours and you were definitely cold when I saw you. See ya'!" He ran after Kyu Hyun turning to look at Ga Eul one more time before they rounded the corner.

Si Won looked after them for a second before handing Mi Young her juice bottle. "Don't be late tomorrow." He ruffled her hair again and quickly followed his friends, narrowly avoiding a hit from a bristling Mi Young. She popped the cap open and took a sip of her juice in order to calm down. She grumbled something under her breath before turning around to face her nightmare. And then she almost burst laughing at the look on Yi Jeong's face; she barely managed to keep a straight face. Ga Eul was unaware as she kept fiddling with the scarf and taking great interest in the shiny floor of the mall.

"So Ga Eul…" Jan Di started in a meaningful voice but got interrupted by Hye Kyo. "Oh my God guys, we have to go. Now. The photo shoot!" The other two ran after her not before adding. "We'll see each other soon. Sorry for the abrupt departure." Jan Di said something about it being no problem and returned her attention to Ga Eul. This time Yi Jeong intervened. "How about I give you a ride hone, Ga Eul?"

Stupefied the girl agreed and she was dragged after the Casanova. Hana left with Ji Hoo and Jan Di was pulled away by Jun Pyo, much to her chagrin. Woo Bin started after them before offering to take Mi Young home. She gratefully accepted and followed him to his car.

"You seemed pretty close to that guy. What was his name?" Woo Bin started after a minute of silence. "Chui, Chun?"

"Choi! Choi Si Won. That's his name." Mi Young countered and only after did she realize what her tone might have suggested. Hastily she tried to correct it. "And I told you we're classmates so it's no wonder we're close."

Ga Eul entered her parent's apartment with a dazed look. Yi Jeong had been acting weird ever since they left the mall. He hadn't even wanted to talk to her on the ride home. Whatever question she threw at him was met with a short clipping answer and Ga Eul had no idea what she did wrong. 'Perhaps he was acting like that because of Yoon Hae.' She waved to her parents before going to her own room.

'I wonder if Gyu Ri and Dae Sung will like the present. I can't really believe they've been dating for a year. I wish I had someone like Dae Sung by my side…paying attention to me….' Ga Eul sighed and flipped her phone open. Surprisingly she found a new message. And it was from Jae Joong. 'Maybe he was worried, after all we kind of flipped them off. I must apologize to him tomorrow. And give him his scarf back. Should I invite him to a coffee?' She replied to the message and added the invitation to coffee too. The response was positive. 'Looks like it's a date! Oh God….what am I thinking? This is Jae Joong and it is not a date. Stupid me, trying to get rid of my feelings this way…But still maybe if I give it a shot…' Bewildered at the internal battle Ga Eul slammed her phone to the bed and took a deep breath. "I love Yi Jeong. I do." She muttered to herself. "The one I love is definitely Yi Jeong."

Not wanting to focus on this anymore Ga Eul pulled the duvet over herself and willed sleep to come. Soon enough she was yawning and entering the world of dreams where she was happy with her soul mate at her side.

"Happy Anniversary!" The council members yelled as soon as Dae Sung and Gyu Ri entered the room. The rest of the class followed wishing them well and congratulating the couple. They were given the small neatly wrapped box and Gyu Ri almost burst into tears after she opened it. The rings were a perfect fit. A chorus of applause marked their happiness.

Classes were a bore as usual, fact proven by the yawning students. The council was back to minding its duties, only occasionally a few jokes would be cracked about the happy couple. The rest of the day was uneventful.

'Finally it's over.' Ga Eul thought gratefully. "I wonder where Jae Joong-ah is. He should be here." She looked around trying to spot him when he suddenly appeared in front of her, scaring the poor girl half to death. "Jae Joong-ah!" Ga Eul chided the young man for a few seconds. Then she handed him his scarf and smiled. "Thank you very much for yesterday."

"No need to thank me. To tell you the truth I feel a bit guilty for leaving you there like that." Jae Joong chuckled before speaking again. "So do you have any idea where we are going?"

"Not really. I didn't think that far ahead." Ga Eul answered in an apologetic tone. "Do you have any suggestions?"

"Actually yes. There is this coffee shop not far from here. It's small and cozy and the coffee is absolutely delicious." Jae Joong assured Ga Eul and he started leading the way. The two walked in comfortable silence before reaching a small building. The coffee shop was everything Jae Joong said it would be, and more.

Upon entering Ga Eul came face to face with the most unexpected person possible; Cha Eun Jae. Her former pottery teacher greeted her warmly and invited the two to a coffee. Through her Ga Eul met So Il Hyun. Soon Jae Joong excused himself, pleading an unexpected occurrence that needed his attention, and left promising Ga Eul that he'd see her the next day.

"Oh, we didn't wreck your date, did we?" Il Hyun asked with mock worry and Eun Jae glared at him. His grin disappeared as he asked another question. "How do you know my brother?" However Ga Eul suspected that he already knew everything from Eun Jae.

"That's a long story." Ga Eul said. "But there is nothing between us." She added at the look of hope on Eun Jae's face.

"What? After all you've gone through to get to him? So what are you going to do?" Il Hyun's girlfriend questioned.

"Ummm…nothing…" Ga Eul replied unsure of what to say.

"What do you mean nothing?" Il Hyun reproachfully asked. "I know my brother is difficult but don't you think you're giving up a bit too early on the road?"

"Curiously, another friend of mine said the same thing." Ga Eul observed as an image of a box-gloves-wearing Jae Kyung popped into her mind, promising pain to Ga Eul if she kept dragging the situation. She took a sip of her coffee and waited for what was said next.

"Well that friend of yours clearly had a better vision than you." Eun Jae rebuked in a no-nonsense way. "If you want him, fight for him."

Hana sat at the dinner table trying to bear with the awkward silence. Her younger brother, Yu Han, played around with the food on his plate, the look on his face clearly saying that he'd rather be anywhere else in the world. The parents just ate their food without making a sound.

"I'm going to my room." Yu Han announced hastily as he put his plate in the sink.

"But you've hardly touched your food." his mother reprimanded. However her reproach was met with silence. Yu Han just shrugged his shoulders and went to his room.

"I'll go too then." Hana said after she put her own plate away. Her mother sighed and her father nodded his head in approval.

Hana bit the inside of her cheek not really knowing what to do. 'Should I go talk to Yu Han; he didn't really seem like himself today…' She knocked on her brother's door and slowly entered the room. Yu Han was sitting in front of his computer screen typing something at high speed. 'Maybe he's doing his homework.' Deciding not to bother him Hana slowly retreated and closed the door behind her. She was not in the mood to go back to her parents so she just went to her room. "I'll watch some TV. That ought to get me relaxed." Hana whispered to herself as she sat on the bed and turned the TV on. She hugged a random pillow and looked through the channels until she found something suitable to watch.

'Tomorrow's Friday; finally Friday. Maybe Ga Eul, Mi Young and I can meet up with Jan Di. She sure seemed disappointed when we left last time. On second thought, she'll just ask a thousand questions about our classmates. And we'll have to answer her, there's no escaping that. Still she had such a funny expression on her face, all angry and scowling crossly at us.' Hana smiled knowing very well what kind of day awaited them if they'd spend it with Jan Di, and the F4 no doubt. And speaking of F4, Ji Hoo had been a bit strange when he brought her home the other day; or maybe not. It was hard to tell with Ji Hoo.

Yeah...I'll try to update soon!
