Chappy 6! Have fun...:)
"I can hardly believe this is actually happening." Ga Eul muttered and rearranged the strap of her bag. Next to her Mi Young nodded as she texted something on her phone while Hana pulled her hair in a loose bun. Today marked the beginning of their week-end long trip to Jeju so the fact that Ga Eul was a little less than excited was understandable; for Hana and Mi Young anyway.
"What's with those faces?" Ye Eun asked, taken aback at the sight before her. "We are going on a trip with the F4. The F4!" she said loudly as she put some lipstick on. She handed the tube to them too, but they declined. "Oh well, suit yourselves. I plan to make an impression on them." Ga Eul rolled her eyes at that and Mi Young chuckled behind her palm. Hana had a wry smile on her face. They all knew Ye Eun's plan would fail. Ye Eun, oblivious to that, just went on praising the F4 and Shin Hwa and rich people in general. Jun Su shook his head and stalked away.
"What the hell is wrong with you! Jun Su was right next to you." Mi Young threw at the girl who hadn't even turned to look as her boyfriend walked away. These days the two have been a little cold to each other. Not that it was unusual for them to fight every now and then but this time it seemed a bit more serious. Mi Young sighed and looked at Ga Eul and Hana for help. Ga Eul shrugged her shoulder and Hana gave a small shake of her head. "Fine! Be that way but don't come crying to me when he decides he's had enough." That got Ye Eun's attention; she chewed on her lip for a few seconds before running after her boyfriend.
"Problem solved." Hana stated and took out a bottle of juice. "Mi Young I forgot to ask; did you tell your sister you were leaving?" She paused to take a drink from the plastic container. "She'll want some photos."
"Yes, I told her." Mi Young responded in a sing-song voice and pulled out a photo camera from her own bag. She threw the device at Hana who expertly caught it and turned it on. "Want to take care of it for me?" Mi Young asked with a devious smile on her face. Ga Eul giggled and got closer to Mi Young, asking Hana to take a picture.
"Okay! One, two…" Hana chanted as Ga Eul and Mi Young got ready for the picture. And just as she was about to press the button they were interrupted by something so unexpected they should've seen it coming. Hana was crushed in a hug by a very hyper looking Dae Sung. A few steps behind him Gyu Ri rolled her eyes at her boyfriend's antics.
"Are you taking pictures?" his ecstatic tone elected a giggle from Hana, a short laugh from Ga Eul and a smirk from Mi Young. Gyu Ri pulled him off the camera girl before he continued speaking. "How about a group foto?"
"Now that sounds like a good idea!" Ye Eun exclaimed as she made her way to them, her arm linked with Jun Su's. 'At lest they made up.' Ga Eul reckoned as she looked at them being all lovey-dovey. She felt a twinge of something pull at her heart but brushed it off not wanting to dwell on it. After all, she had a fairly good idea what it was and if Ga Eul was honest with herself it made her very uncomfortable. 'I'm happy for them but it's kind of hard to not be jealous of their perfect love. If only I had someone like that…'
"Okay guys get ready for that picture. Anytime today is fine." Hana announced as she clicked a few buttons on the camera. Much to Ga Eul's surprise Jae Joong, Si Won and Kyu Hyun had joined their group. Jae Joong smiled at her and called her over. He directed her between himself and Si Won who put Mi Young in front of him; Si Won was about a head taller so it actually worked. Kyu Hyun was next while Jun Su, Dae Sung, Gyu Ri and Ye Eun lowered themselves on their knees. "Almost ready…" Hana whispered softly and put her finger above the button when she was interrupted again.
"Wait! Hana has to be in the picture too." Kyu Hyun said and pulled Hana next to him while taking the camera from her hands. He passed the object to a random classmate who was only too happy to take the picture. Hana thanked him and took the camera back just as the announcer called the number of their flight. Si Won called the move out and the student body orderly walked to the gate.
"This is it." Ga Eul said as she helped Hana put the camera in her bag. Mi Young was signalling some lost students over and they were good to go.
"I'm nervous and restless." Mi Young admitted as they boarded the plane. "I just feel like…I don't know. It's weird." She continued while sitting down on a chair.
"Relax. Close your eyes and take deep breaths." Hana advised. "Try to sleep, maybe that will calm you down." After that she closed her eyes and almost instantly fell asleep.
"That's Hana alright. I bet she can fall asleep even in the middle of a bomb attack." Mi Young joked and pulled her MP3 out. She handed Ga Eul one of the earphones. Ga Eul laughed and put the device in her ear before closing her eyes.
Mi Young was about to close her eyes too when she saw Ye Eun and Jun Su cuddling. Now she was fairly sure that was inappropriate behaviour but she just smirked and made a note to tease them about it later. 'The least I can do to have some fun around here.' Mi Young considered and closed her eyes.

"You know our situation is not so bad." Hana told Mi Young and Ga Eul once they've set their things in a room. As per request Ga Eul, Mi Young and Hana got to share a room, which would most likely be used as a get-together place for the Council later on, they might even throw a mini-party if they got to. Mi Young looked at her with disbelief while taking her bikini out of the bag and went to change in her swimsuit.
"Enough with the doom and gloom!" Ga Eul complained as she pulled a tank top on. 'I get enough of that on my own. I should just throw a pity party. Geez, I really need to focus on something else…like the fact that blue just might be my colour.' The baby blue thin material of her top clung to her upper half emphasising her waist and curves. From under the top the white strings of her swimsuit curled around her neck completing her cheery look. "Aren't you going to change?" She directed to Hana while straightening her white shorts and putting a water bottle in a small beach bag.
"After Mi Young comes out." Hana assured her friend and started searching through her own luggage for her beachwear. Mi Young strutted out of the bathroom and plopped on one of the beds. Hana went in to change. "Are you ready for the fun?" Mi Young questioned and stretched across the bed.
"What do you mean?" Ga Eul asked back while handing her the sunscreen."Hello! Just the party we'll be attending given by the General High school nr 1." Every trip had to have a party so of course General High school nr 1 was the school to host it. 'Great, this is my chance to have some fun. I'm pretty sure this kind of party doesn't appeal to the F4 or anyone from their group. So I'm safe to have the time of my life.' Ga Eul ruminated as she put her hair up in a ponytail. "Least the music will be good." Mi Young finished just as Hana came out of the bathroom.
"Let's hit the beach." Hana called to them and grabbed them by their arms. "We're here to have fun, so let's have some." She encouraged the two. 'I really have to find a way to make them loosen up. There is the party tonight and those other students are pretty good at having fun, I heard. I wonder if they'll bring some alcohol. Just a bit has never hurt anyone…and it might be exactly what they need.' Hana considered as they headed to the beach for some frolicking in the sun. The sky was clear and the sun was shining bright. It was a perfect day, feeling shared by most of the students on the trip it seemed. The beach was full of classmates, schoolmates and a bunch of total strangers.

And just when things were finally settling something happened. Ga Eul languidly applied sunscreen to her skin, simply enjoying the sun's rays keeping her warm. Mi Young had gone swimming which left Hana next to her. The girl was asleep again. 'She's like a cat, I swear.' On her other side Ye Eun and Gyu Ri had a conversation going, no doubt about what outfits to wear at the upcoming party when suddenly one of them exclaimed the words that made Ga Eul's heart stop. "OMG! The F4 are here." And where the F4 were Jan Di was right next to them.
A few seconds passed agonizingly slow before Jan Di noticed her. "Chu Ga Eul, is that you?" The question prompted the rest of the F4 to look her way. 'I'm screwed.' Ga Eul thought as they headed her way. Many of the people had left, probably when she hadn't been looking, which meant one thing, there was a lot of space next to Ga Eul and Hana for Jan Di to sit. Which she did, as did the guys. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Jan Di further questioned not noticing Hana who was facing her towel, still asleep. "Um…well you know…trip." Ga Eul stuttered out. "Anyway, where are the girls?"
"They went to the hotel's private beach but I wanted to come here instead." Jan Di explained and then started looking around. "Where are Hana and Mi Young?" Ga Eul just snickered at the irony. 'Count on Jan Di to not recognize someone when they are sitting right next to her.'
"Jan Di-ah, she's right here." Ga Eul finally said and pointed to the sleeping girl next to her. By now Gyu Ri and Ye Eun had been dragged away by their boyfriends, but it had gone unnoticed to Ga Eul who watched with amusement as Jan Di tried to wake Hana up. "Let me help." She offered between chuckles and lowered to whisper something to Hana. Whatever she said made Hana bolt right up and when she saw just who was around her she threw Ga Eul a glare.
At the same moment Mi Young waded out of the water and yelled out her greetings. Ga Eul turned to look at her friend and unintentionally witnessed something shocking. Woo Bin looked a bit flustered as he stared at Mi Young. Ga Eul shook her head in disbelief and nudged Hana to take a look. Hana seemed as stunned as her, while Mi Young was blissfully oblivious.
As soon as she got to the beach towels Mi Young sat down between Ga Eul and Hana letting the sun warm her up. Woo Bin's face was back to normal and nobody else seemed to have noticed anything. 'Maybe I was just imagining it.' Ga Eul sighed and threw a discreet look at Mi Young who was chatting away with Jan Di.
"So are you going to the party?" Yi Jeong asked and it took Ga Eul a few seconds to figure out he was talking to her. "What party?" Ga Eul asked coyly hoping they were talking about another party. 'Not likely.' The phrase resounded in her head.
"The one held by General High school nr 1." said Jun Pyo. "It's an opportunity for us to learn how commoners party." he went on clearly unaware of the punch coming his way; Jan Di looked about ready to murder. So another clash between Jun Pyo and Jan Di ensued.
"Yeah! It's only the best party of the trip." Mi Young answered instead of Ga Eul as the other girls were too busy laughing at Jun Pyo and Jan Di's conduct.
Ga Eul wanted to say something too but her phone started ringing. She answered and her face turned serious thus prompting Hana to stop laughing as well. The conversation was pretty short and Ga Eul looked a bit distraught when she ended the call. "We have to head back." She told Hana and Mi Young. "There's a council meeting."
"What council?" asked Jan Di, looking utterly confused.
"Student council." Hana pronounce looking frustrated. "Even on the trip that stupid school doesn't make it easy for us." she muttered to herself while pulling her sundress on. "So, see you guys later?" she asked suddenly and her lips curved in a smile.
"Sure." Ji Hoo articulated as they too got up. "See you at the party." Jan Di enhanced and pulled Jun Pyo after her.

When Ga Eul, Mi Young and Hana entered the hotel room the rest of the student council members were already there, some sprawled on the beds, some sitting on the floor. The three joined Ye Eun and Gyu Ri on one of the beds. Ye Eun winked at them and Gyu Ri smiled an all-knowing smile.
"I suppose you all know about the party held later by General High school nr 1." At everyone's nod Si Won, who was the one speaking, continued. "Well our role is to watch out for our classmates, that much hasn't changed." At this all the others groaned in irritation. "But the good news is…" that caught everybody's attention "that we are not going to do that."
"Are you crazy?" Mi Young yelled at him looking flustered. "We could get in a whole lot of trouble if we don't." Gyu Ri pointed out and Ye Eun nodded her head.
Si Won raised his hand in a silence sign and they all fell quiet. "We are not doing it because we don't have to." He said simply. "It's a party; they'll behave in the limits of normality."
"How can you be so sure?" Kyu Hyun questioned looking slightly confused.
Ga Eul seemed to have caught on to what he meant and answered. "Because we are the trendsetters; they'll do what we do. So we'll just have to set a good example."
Si Won looked her way and nodded in agreement. "Exactly that." se stated. "That would be all. Don't forget, if you do something they'll do it do, so please let it not be anything stupid." At this part he looked at the boys.
"Oh, come on!" they exclaimed, offended at what he was implying. Si Won coolly threw a smirk their way not really bothered by the protests.
"Well then, we're going to get ready." Ye Eun announced calling the girls after her. "Let's go to mine and Gyu Ri's room." She suggested. The other girls nodded their heads and followed Ye Eun, occasionally exchanging whispered comments.
"Do you know what you want to wear?" Gyu Ri asked them once they entered the room. "I mean, you do have to make a lasting impression." she said while suggestively wiggling her shoulders. "Yeah, don't think we didn't see you talking to the F4. How do you know them anyway?" Ye Eun intruded, curiosity getting the best of her.
"You know that Gu Jun Pyo is dating Geum Jan Di?" Ga Eul asked. Gyu Ri and Ye Eun, both, patiently nodded their heads. "We're friends with Jan Di. So basically the F4 are only acquaintances to us. No big deal." Ga Eul went on explaining.
"But you want them to be more than that?" Ye Eun questioned again with a twinkle in her eyes. "Come on tell us the truth."
"Ye Eun-ah, they're the F4. Of course we want them to be more than that." Hana highlighted with a very serious face. "But they are not interested. They have girlfriends, sort of."
"Hey girlfriend is girlfriend, not wife. I say you don't give up. You still have a shot."
I'll post the next one soon. :P
