Even after 4 years, this story still gets plenty of reviews for just one chapter. I would like to thank all those we review my story.
Rosawellian1984: You have no idea how I'm going to make him make up for his betrayal (BWAHA)
dannybavi31:No, he doesn't deserve to die. He just was weak and did something REALLY stupid. He's still a good man. He married the woman he got "pregnant". That says something in my book ^_^
Andantecantabile: Thanks so much. I'm glad to share this story once more.
heartluv: Woo Bin does move fast. He's an excellent fighter and he CAN get the ladies. Did I mention he's hilarious too? I love when he spoke like 3 languages in one sentence. That was AWESOME! There should have been more Song Woo Bin in the series...
Jane: Updates will happen normally. Thanks for reading, Jane ^_^
leeyuri41: I'm so glad you love it. Updates will happen constantly.

pharm555: I'm so glad you like my GaBin story. I sure hope I won't disappoint anyone. I like soEul (obviously ❤︎) but in episode 16, I noticed Kim So Eun (Ga Eul) & Kim Joon (Woo Bin) have chemistry. The scene when he took her hand and Yi Jung looked on with jealous apparent in his eyes lol
nicole d bermudez : I will be continuing this story, don't worry.
Author's note: For all those reading my other 'Boys Before Flowers' story, "My Chance at love", I will be continuing that as well.
Chapter 1:
"Woo Bin Sunbae." Ga Eul watched his every move. He smiled. "You're a kind girl, Ga Eul. What do you plan to do?" He asked. "You think because Yi Jung is gone you're dream has to end?" He asked gently.
Ga Eul shook her head. "No. Yi Jung Sunbae and I...we loved each other." Woo Bin sighed. "I know you two did but you can't be with him anymore. If the media were to find out, they would make you look like a common tramp, who wants to destroy the So family."
Ga Eul locked eyes with Woo Bin. "Why do you want to marry me? I mean, what's in it for you?" She asked, a blush forming on her cheeks. He smiled. "My parents want me to marry although I thought I would marry Jia Ho...you remember her, right?" He asked as he looked down at Ga Eul's form. (look at the girl from Woo Bin's 5 years later video...yes, I named her XD.)
"Yes. The only woman you were serious about." She replied.
"Yes, well...I know I have to eventually marry. So why not now, with you?" He asked. Ga Eul stood there, shocked. "But you hardly know me, we are just friends." She tried to reason out.
"Yes." He said taking her hand in his. "But I can get your pride back. It's not as bad as you think. At least the invitations weren't mailed out. The media doesn't know about it, only your friends, and your colleagues know, you and Yi Jung never even told your parents." He summed up.
"Woo Bin Sunbae...I need to think, what you are saying, offering...I'm grateful but I...what about love?" She asked.
She was a romantic, he knew.
Woo Bin sighed. "Ga Eul, I can't promise you anything along those lines. I can promise you we will be the best of friends, I care for you and I will never cheat on you. Can that be a foundation to our marriage?" Woo Bin asked softly. Ga Eul nodded her head. She wanted to marry the man she loved, not his best friend.
"Woo Bin Sunbae, what about...Jan Di, Jae Kyung and the F3?" She asked.
Ga Eul wasn't going to lie, she wondered what Yi Jung would think.
"You leave them to me." He replied.
"We have to be introduced to our parents." She said. Woo Bin began to walk away from her. She grabbed his arm.
"Are you sure you want this?" She asked. Woo Bin nodded his head. "I am sure, Ga Eul, we know each other well enough. I'm sorry it's me though. Who knows if we would still be here, having this discussion had I met you first, had I walked into the porridge shop six years ago first." He smiled. "If you had gone out with me more then Yi Jung. I can't complain, can I?" He asked. "After all, you did let me flirt with you six years ago and you said yes to my proposal...right?" He grinned. She let go of his arm.
Ga Eul felt flushed again. She nodded her head, not really trusting her voice. Ga Eul sighed. "How can you not complain?" She asked. "I am not glamorous like a fashion model or anything." Woo Bin looked at her. "Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror?" He asked. "Frankly, I'm surprised another man didn't snatch you up already." Ga Eul turned away from Woo Bin, feeling shy. "You are a nice, sweet, successful, smart and even handsome man. Why did Jia Ho-iish walk away from you?" She heard herself ask then covered her mouth. Woo Bin smiled. "I'm sorry." She said, muttered.
"She got tired of my kindness." He replied. He looked at her as he saw Ga Eul put her hair up, due to the heat of the weather. He put his head on her shoulder. "That is the other reason." Woo Bin stated, looking at her exposed back, which he touched lightly, which caused Ga Eul to gasp lightly as well. He smiled. "You're a good girl and even my innocent caresses affect you." He smiled then stepped away from her.
Ga Eul tried not to feel affected by his touch but it didn't work. She felt her face heat up again.
Did he expect her to sleep with him? Ga Eul shook her head, that was embarrassing to ask. She didn't even want to know the answer, after all he was Don Juan.
"I should warn you, there hasn't been a divorce nor an annulment in my family for quite some time." He added. Ga Eul sighed. "So if you want heirs...I have to..." He walked away from her then they both sat down on the couch, next to each other.
Woo Bin shook his head. "Don't think about that now. That will only make you feel uncomfortable around me." He replied. He held his hand up.
"Come. I think we should meet each others parents." He told her. Ga Eul shook her head. "I...need to freshen up first." She replied, looking for the right words to use with him; she headed into the bathroom.
Woo Bin picked up the book that Ga Eul was reading, probably when she wanted to sleep on her couch.
He had visual images of her soft wet body as he heard the water running and the fact that she was affected by his soft caresses could only mean one thing. Yi Jung hadn't...they hadn't moved their relationship to the next level, they hadn't slept together.
Woo Bin sighed.
What? Did Yi Jung wait so it would be more special to her?
He shook his head.
After a few more minutes, Ga Eul came out wearing her white rope, she went into the living room, looking for her hair brush. Woo Bin saw she had also washed her hair, he found it amusing that she tired to cover herself up even more as she saw his eyes on her.
"Take it easy, sweet heart. I don't get passionate after seeing only a bit of female flesh." Woo Bin replied as he looked through the book 'Mansfield Park' by Jane Austen.
"I'm glad." She muttered.
"What was that?" He asked as he saw her go into her bedroom.
"I said I'll be out softly, darling." She stated.
Woo Bin smiled. Maybe, just maybe he'd enjoy being married to Ga Eul.
Soon enough she emerged from her room, looking pretty enough, she dried her lovely hair and had it in a bun.
But he knew she had to make an impression on his family. He stood up fro the couch.
He grabbed her purse, her phone and her jacket.
"Follow me." He said in English. "That is okay for me to see you in but for my parents a make over is required." He stated as they got into his car.
He took her to get her hair done. It was blown out straight. (episode 24 when Ga Eul walked away fro Yi Jung-like that ^-^) He smiled. That only took an hour. Next, he took her to apply some make up. It was very light, after all, she was a natural beauty. The only thing he could tell was on when he wasn't that close to her was her lipstick. (which was pink). After they had left, he took her to get her dress, a red v-neck that showed a bit of her curves. Woo Bin stood there. She was beautiful, he had to concentrate. At the same store, he bought her matching shoes, soon as their business was finished, they left. The last place was the jewelry store. Woo Bin picked out a pair of gold heart earrings and a gorgeous engagment ring while Ga Eul waited for him outside. While he was inside, Ga Eul could hear whistles from meny men and she blushed. Woo Bin stepped outside and saw a man was about to approach Ga Eul. "Sweet heart, I got you a present." Ga Eul looked at him. He opened the black velvet box. "Marry me?" He asked, looking at the man who was about to approach Ga Eul.
By then the man walked away. She smiled. "Thank you...for doing that and for the gifts. But you should know I don't like worldly goods," Woo Bin smiled. "I'll keep that in mind." He replied.
They drove to the Song Mansion.
A maid saw Woo Bin, who had just walked in. "Young Master, you're mother has been inquiring after you." She said.
Woo Bin held Ga Eul's hand and they stepped into the study.
"Mother." He said.
"Oh Woo Bin, my son, where have you been?" His mother asked him as she brought down the book she was reading and placed it on her lap.
"I'm sorry mother. I had some personal business to attend." He said with a smile. Mrs. Song looked next to Woo Bin and she smiled. "Who is this lovely flower, Woo Bin, my son?" She asked.
Ga Eul bowed her head respectfully. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Song." Ga Eul said. Mrs. Song smiled. "Mother, this is Ms. Chu Ga Eul." He took a breathe. "My fiancée."
Mrs. Song looked at them, shocked was apparent in her face. "Oh my son, I never thought you would marry. Why, you're father and I thought we had to arrange you're marriage. But now, that is not the case." Mrs. Song smiled. "You're father is currently in Russia at the moment dealing with some business. But he will be pleased." His mother had informed them.
Mrs. Song extended her hand, motioning the two to sit.
A maid was standing near by.
"Please bring three teas."
The maid smiled. "Yes, Madam."
"So...tell me how you two met." Woo Bin smiled as they sat net to one another. Woo Bin put his hand oer Ga Eul's shoulder and it didn't make her uncomfortable in the least, which suprised her. "It was by my best friend, Geum Jan Di." Ga Eul said. "And Jun Pyo." Woo Bin finished.
"Oh yes, those two married three months ago." Mrs. Song said. "What do you do, Ms. Chu?" Mrs. Song asked.
"I am an elementary teacher." Ga Eul replied.
"So I take it you love children?" She asked with a smile.
"Yes, Madam." Ga Eul stated. Mrs. Song smiled. As Woo Bin heard Ga Eul speak, especially about her work and the children, he was fascinated by her.
After they finished speaking, they left the Mansion.
"That wasn't so hard." He said.
"No. My mother, I'm sure, is going to be charmed by you. My father will question you." Ga Eul told him and he just smiled.
They rode to Mr and Mrs. Chu's home.
"Ga Eul." her mother began as she opened the front door and saw her beautiful daughter then she saw a handsome man beside her daughter, she spotted Woo Bin. "Who is this handsome lad?" She asked as she let them in. Mr. Chu saw Woo Bin.
Woo Bin smiled. "How do you do, Sir? My name is..." Woo Bin didn't get a chance to finish.
"Song Woo Bin." Mr. Chu extended his hand. "I remember how you helped my family when you're company hired me after I lost my job." Mr. Chu bent his head, respectfully.
Ga Eul was shocked.
Was he the reason why things returned to normal so quickly? She covered up her shock.
"Sir, Madam, I believe I should be doing this." He said. "Mr. Chu, I would like to have your consent to marry Ga Eul." Mr. Chu smiled. "After what you have done for my family, of course. Ga Eul is the apple of my eye. Take good care of her." Woo Bin smiled. "I will, Sir."
Mrs. Chu smiled. "Oh, my dear, why didn't you tell us sooner?" Mrs. Chu asked. Ga Eul looked to Woo Bin, who was smiling.
"I wanted it to be a surprise." Ga Eul smiled. "You two look like your going around the town tonight." Mr. Chu added.
Woo Bin smiled. "Indeed, we are, Sir."
Ga Eul hugged her parents.
"Ga Eul, shall we?" Woo Bin asked, very charmingly.
Woo Bin extended his hand and Ga Eul took hold of it.
They left.
Soon as they were back in his yellow car, he put his seat belt on. Ga Eul looked at him. "No wonder you weren't nervous. You helped my dad during that time." Woo Bin looked at Ga Eul when they stopped at a red light.
"Yes." He looked over to her clearly amused by her shocked face. But then he noticed something she was lacking as they were in the car. "Seat belt, Ga Eul." She put it on.
She looked at him. "Where are we going, Woo Bin Sunbae?" She asked.
Woo Bin smiled. "It's a surprise." He said with a smile.
Soon they were by the docks.
"When we get back, I'll speak to our friends." He told her with a gentle, kind look. "We, my dear, are going on my yacht."
Woo Bin parked his car and they walked to the yacht and took a seat. The Captain was moving her out.
Woo Bin extended his hand and Ga Eul accepted it after a few seconds.
"Tell me what you want this night to be and I'll arrange it." Woo Bin told her as he held her hand then with his other hand, he spun her around and whispered that in her ear in his low, sexy voice.
