Hey there, everyone. I am so sorry it's taking me forever to update my stories. To start, I began taking classes to become a voice actress in New York City. I am also planning on writing 4 professional novels. They are similar to Harlequin romance stories. I will say it's VERY hard to read a script and record at the same time...I have quite a few projects (which I did on my own) and yet I was completely nervous. I want to thank EACH and every single one of you for all your kind words and who patiently awaited for the next installments of each chapter. Thank you so much, guys!
And with any further delay...
Woo Bin awoke to feeling Ga Eul pressing her hand over his chest and then her head, right over his heart. Okay, he had to admit, he was fine with it. More than fine. But then again, he was a guy. There was no guy who wouldn't like this kind of opportunity to hold a beautiful girl, to do this. He had an overwhelming feeling in his heart. Ga Eul was still in love with his best friend and he had no intention of gaining her affection. Yet, he wanted to ask her if she would ever be interested in a guy like himself. However, he smiled as he looked at her appearance. She looked very beautiful. Her hair was tousled, she looked so serene.
Ga Eul was a nice and good girl, who had spunk. Granted, he knew how to handle all types of girls. But she was different, he knew. He stopped grinning, she was hurt by Yi Jung's hand. Woo Bin sighed softly and slowly eased himself away from her, folding her hands and carefully picking her up, taking her to the guest bedroom that was prepared for her.
When morning came, Ga Eul quickly dressed with the blue denim skirt, white blouse, and the brown boots. She checked her stud earrings to make sure they were still on well.
Woo Bin knocked on the door. Ga Eul opened the door and there he stood wearing a pair of navy blue slacks, a white dress shirt, and a navy blue blazer. Ga Eul noticed that the first button was undone on his shirt. She never thought of Woo Bin in such a manner. But he, just like the other members of the F3, looked very handsome.
"Ready to go?" He asked with a smile on his face.
Ga Eul nodded her head slightly.
"Where are my things?" She asked, suddenly, almost hyperventilating.
Woo Bin chuckled. "Already in my car."
Ga Eul stared at Woo Bin. "I need to go. My class-"
Woo Bin touched Ga Eul's hand, very similar to what he did when the three of them schemed to get their friends to go on that date.
"It's Saturday, Ga Eul. Besides, I already told Yi Jung were meeting him and his...lovely girlfriend for lunch." Woo Bin replied coolly.
Ga Eul nodded her head. "I'm not sure if I can be discreet."
Woo Bin grinned. "You need to ask her questions, that's all. That part is easy. If it comes even remotely dangerous, I wouldn't have you help. Don't worry so much. Girls get gray hair if they worry too much."
They walked down the steps of the staircase. "Here." He said, handing Ga Eul a coat he brought her.
"I can understand the clothes for today, but why the coat?" She asked.
"If we're dating, you can't go around wearing un-branded names." He replied.
"I never cared about that. Besides, it's almost spring." She stated, giving him a deadly look of hers.
Woo Bin just smiled. "Lighten up, honey. It's still cool out." He teased her.
Well out of the F4, Ga Eul was told Woo Bin was the most playful and nice one.
"Woo Bin Sunbae, thanks for the coat." She said, for she had not forgotten her manners.
"Your welcome. Shall we?" He requested softly.
They walked side-by-side to his car.
As they drove to their destination, they spoke of her theory on Soul mates and true love.
"At least you don't judge me on my beliefs. Yi Jung Sunbae thought I was naive." Ga Eul gave a small smile at that.
"I've seen Jun Pyo and Jan Di. From what you spoke of I think they are each others true love, maybe even soul mates too." Woo Bin couldn't help saying.
Ga Eul smiled. "It seems that there is a little romantic in you that is dying to come out, F4's Don Juan." She could resist teasing him.
"Don't you know I do romantic." He grinned.
"Of course." She responded.
They both laughed.
"I wonder when it will come time for you to fall in love or at least find a girl you really care for." Ga Eul stated after awhile.
"Princess," Woo Bin declared in English with a proud look upon his face, for he was proud that she could be honest with him enough, proud because he had the honor of being her friend. "Worry about yourself, first, hmm?"
Ga Eul smiled. "Don't you know it's not written in Autumn."
"Well, if that's the case, I wonder how romantic you really are. When you were in front of Yi Jung, you never were to mushy. All you did was show him a different path to life and always did the right thing when, in the end, he hurt you." Woo Bin concluded, a troubled look hanging over his features.
"I want a guy who will only want me for me, you know?" Ga Eul questioned him, running her hand through her hair.
Woo Bin turned then, looking at her. "Yeah, I think I do. Well, if it helps you any, I think I would like being with a girl like you, Ga Eul."
Ga Eul looked to Woo Bin, shocked, a red tint on her cheeks. Woo Bin gave a nervous laugh. "What I mean is: your honest, your heart is huge, you're loyal and you care for anyone who comes within your reaches. I think a guy would have to be crazy not to want you."
Ga Eul smiled, shyly. "Thank you." Ga Eul looked into his brown orbs. "If you wanted to seriously date, any woman would have to be silly not to want to be with you."
Woo Bin smiled as he paid attention to the road. "Grazie, Ga Eul."
"Italian, this time." She replied with a smile.
Woo Bin grinned.
As they arrived at the restaurant, Woo Bin linked Ga Eul's hand in his hand. "Here, we need to look like a couple."
Ga Eul nodded her head. "Yeah."
Soon as they were in the restaurant, Ga Eul found Yi Jung; who was sitting with his girlfriend. She looked like an heiress. All she was missing was the tiara. Woo Bin was speaking to a waiter.
Ga Eul pulled Woo Bin down slightly and whispered into his ear, which sent goose bumps all over his body.
"They're here." She told him.
Woo Bin nodded his head. A few seconds later, they were walking towards their table.
"Yi Jung, my bro." They shook hands. Yi Jung smiled. "Ga Eul Yang." He said her name with an almost cold clarity.
"Yi Jung Sunbae." Ga Eul stated his name in determination.
Ga Eul smiled as she looked to 'the couple'. "Hi. It's nice to meet you, I am Chu Ga Eul."
The woman smiled as she extended her hand in a firm, yet, soft grip. "How do you do, Ms. Chu-iish? The privilege is all mine. My name is Sakura Dia Ho."
Ga Eul felt she was already out of her league, not only was the woman gorgeous but she had the honor of growing up in two cultures. Sakura Dia knew more of the world then she could ever dream of knowing. The woman was obviously half Japanese and half Korean.
Woo Bin helped Ga Eul to her seat as she removed her coat.
As they sat, Woo Bin held onto Ga Eul's hand, still. His hand was on her knee and it helped her relax.
Woo Bin smiled down at his 'girlfriend'.
"So, Woo Bin, when did you too decide to have a relationship? I must confess, I was a bit surprised." Yi Jung gave his famous smile.
"Yes, well, you know how it is, Yi Jung-ah. Ga Eul and I spend more time together and we both could see that we have something important." Woo Bin replied, coolly.
Ga Eul just smiled; underneath the table Woo Bin gripped and tightened his hold on her hand for support.
"Ms. Chu, Yi Jung-iish and I met in the same university."
"Oh, I see." Ga Eul told the young woman.
She reminded her a little of Jae Kyung unnie, if she want to be honest with herself.
"Indeed, we did. Ga Eul Yang, I was making a new piece and at the end of the hallway, I heard piano music followed by violin music. It was about 9 in the evening and I thought I was the only one still finishing up. Sakura Dia was practicing for the play 'Romeo and Juliet' and to be precise, the theme she was playing was 'Vivaldi s-the four seasons, it was the 'Spring' one." Yi Jung replied, smiling.
Ga Eul, not only felt inferior to her. If it weren't for Woo Bin holding her hand, she would have left him after wishing them both a 'good luck'.
"Yes, Ms. Chu. I play classical music for theatre." Sakura Dia told her.
"It's a great profession." Ga Eul stated.
"Yeah, it is. A friend of ours plays the piano and violin. Actually, when our friends marry next month, 'the couple' wants him to oversee the music." Woo Bin replied, grinning.
"It's hard to believe he'll be the first one to marry." Yi Jung stated.
After their food was served, the ladies went to refresh themselves in the ladies rest room.
"Ms. Ho, is that your real name?" Ga Eul asked carefully.
"No, I changed it when I was seven-teen. it's personal, I rather not speak of it, I hope you understand." Sakura Dia replied. "Why do you ask?"
Ga Eul smiled. "I'm sorry. It's just that I never heard a name quiet like it, it's a lovely name."
Sakura Dia smiled. "Thank you."
Ga Eul walked on ahead of Sakura Dia.
"Yi Jung, I knew this is a bit late. But can I ask you why you left Ga Eul?" Woo Bin asked, suddenly, grimly.
Yi Jung sighed. "Ga Eul Yang...my father warned me about her. I see my mother in her and after what I did to her, do you think I want to repeat the mistake my father made with my mother?" Yi Jung asked, looking at Woo Bin.
"Yi Jung, what your father did is one thing. I 'hate' to say this but you aren't your father. If you decide, tomorrow, that you want to be with Ga Eul, there wouldn't be mistake in the making. But then again, you know I wouldn't let that happen. After all, she's my girl now." Woo Bin smiled, covering his tracks.
Yi Jung smiled. "Yeah, she is." He replied.
Woo Bin saw Ga Eul but he couldn't stop Yi Jung from speaking.
"Woo Bin, I declare that Ga Eul is no-longer mine to worry about. I am her friend and she is mine. There is nothing else." Yi Jung stated.
Woo Bin, who was currently with Yi Jung, looked down. He was disappointed to tell the truth.
As Yi Jung said those words, Woo Bin could see Ga Eul was very close to crying. He had to get her out of there and now.
After saying a brief 'good-bye' to the Sakura Dia & Yi Jung, Ga Eul got into the familiar yellow lotus car. Woo Bin got in at the driver side.
Her crying affected him in ways he never thought possible.
"Ga Eul." Woo Bin stated her name very softly.
End 3.
