Chapter 1: A Jerk Guy Named So Yi Jeong

.

Confused? I know some of you were confused by Jan Di's resentment at me. Why would she be mad like that, well why wouldn't she? To understand more, why don't we went back to the moment after the first time Ga Eul told me that I made her pregnant.

That shocking news left me confused of everything. What exactly do I feel? What am I going to do about it? How will this 'thing' change my life? Why was it happen to me? And the funniest thing was all these confusions only led me to one answer; 'I DON'T KNOW'.

So after taking considerate amount of times, I finally made a decision. A decision that I knew would left many hearts broken especially the one who carried 'it'. Commitment never been written in my dictionary. I can force myself to marry her but I'm more afraid to think what lies in the future if we got married. I may or may not be a good husband, I may or may not hurt her more and the worst and the most fearful thing that crossed my mind; she may or may not become like my mother.

I admitted that I did consider to 'destroying' the only evidence that led me to this trouble. If 'it' gone than my problems also gone just like that. But every time I tried to voice out my awful suggestion to her, my voice would stuck on my throat and suddenly I became mute. So I told her what can I offer to her and I'm not surprised when she accepted my decision open heartedly without any protest or what so ever.

I gathered all my courage to break the news to our friends, readied myself to be a punching bag that will be a generous receiver. All of them stared impatiently at me, waited for my voice to come out again after seventeen minutes I said; "I have something very important to tell you guys."

I took a deep breath and tried to relax myself;

"Ga Eul is pregnant." I said with an awkward smile plastered on my face and unconsciously tighten my hold on Ga Eul's hand (can you notice the similarity?).

"WHAT!" all of them scream at me except for Ji Hoo who just rolled his eyes as big as he can. Jan Di stood up abruptly while screaming at me and her voice was the highest pitch ever.

"Ga Eul-ah, can you move aside please." Jan Di's voice suddenly changed into the sweetest tone ever that made me and Ga Eul shivered. Ga Eul quickly nodded and gave a sympathy look at me before moved to sit beside Woo Bin.

"Yi Jeong-sunbae can you stand up please." Oh my, that voice really drained my blood away. Was she a witch, because I felt like being casted right now. I can't think of anything and just followed her order.

Suddenly I felt something slammed on my cheek and that impact caused me to fly into the floor. I rubbed my cheek in attempts to ease the pain and trying to adjust my sit on the floor. All people who sitting on the chair look at me in you-deserved-it expression except for the lovely girl beside Woo Bin who look so worried at me. I returned her a smile, signalling her that I'm alright.

"So bro, when we will hear the wedding bells ringing?"

I look at Woo Bin, contemplated to answer his question. Slowly I rose up myself and adjust my standing.

"There will be no wedding."

"What do you mean by that?" There was a sensed of anger in Woo Bin's voice.

"I'm not going to marry Ga Eul but I…"

I can't finish my words because I was sent back flying to the floor again by Jan Di's kick but the worst part was not from the kick, but from the mafia king who started to beat me continuously. I've readied myself for Jan Di but not from a man that can handle ten men in a single blow. Luckily Ji Hoo stepped in and grabbed Woo Bin to calm him down.

What's wrong with him? I knew that he was close to Ga Eul while I'm gone but I'm still his best buddy. Suddenly I felt mad when I thought about the possibilities that might happen while I'm gone but I decided not to think too much because I don't want to know.

"Bastard! I thought you've change after coming back from Sweden, but you become worse than before. A real gentleman should take responsible of all his action." Woo Bin screaming at me and tried to release himself from Ji Hoo.

"That's right, Jeong-ah. We should be responsible from the beginning till the end." Jun Pyo also scolded me while trying to calm Jan Di.

Ga Eul went to my side and wiped the blood from my lips. I could see that she was trying to hold her tears.

"It's alright Jan Di-ah, Woo Bin-sunbae, Jun Pyo-sunbae, Ji Hoo-sunbae. It was a mistake from the beginning. We were both drunk and ... and it happen. Please don't blame Yi Jeong-sunbae alone because it was my fault too."

"Ga Eul-ah, what about you? How can you raise your child alone?"

"Who said I would leave Ga Eul alone. I will take full responsible of my action. I still can take care of them without married to Ga Eul."

"Does that mean you will only be responsible financially?"

"No, I will stay by her side and take care of her during her pregnancy period."

"I thought only Jun Pyo got the disease, I never notice that you are more stupid than him." Jan Di glared at me.

"Hey." Jun Pyo tried to argued

"Shut up Jun Pyo, or I'll give you the same kick I gave to your friend just now. So Yi Jeong-sunbae, from what you told us, don't you think that it's sound like a married couple already. A husband who want to take care of his pregnant wife?"

"Err sort of but in my case I don't want to be attached officially to anyone. It's better this way than be marry without love." I don't know why I cringed after I said it.

"And you agreed to this scheme Ga Eul?"

"Yes."

After more persuasion from Ga Eul, they finally accepted my decisions. Our next destination was Ga Eul's hometown. Her parents had move to her father's birth place in Busan.

To tell the truth, I'm terrified to meet her parents. What I had done to their precious daughter and what will I do to her would be enough motivation for them to send me to hell and yes it almost did. I was beaten by her father with a broom and needed to be sent to the hospital for further check-up. I could see the pain in her parent's eyes when they listen to Ga Eul's explanation. I knew they disagree with her decision and persuaded her to come and live with them.

They said they will accept Ga Eul and her child and will love them wholeheartedly. I stared at Ga Eul to read her reaction. Her parents offer seems more attractive than mine because I can only offer her protection and money but not love. I knew I should be happy if she accepted their offer because it will end all my misery but some reason, I don't want her away from me. I want her near me, always.

I released the breath that I hold when I heard that Ga Eul want to stick with our plan to live together. I'm confused, why I'm so afraid that Ga Eul would agree with her parent's suggestion and left me alone? Why? Again I don't know and I'm afraid to search for the real answer.
