Chapter 3

A/N: Harroooo! So...I guess this chapter is a bit more exciting. A bit. Enjoy!

Yi Jung's POV

I followed Woo Bin out of Jan Di's apartment.

"Why do I have to come with you?" I asked. He turned around and looked at me.

"The thing is...I'm not with Ga Eul,"

"What? They why did you-"

"I only pretended to kiss her that night. And we didn't have sex," He explained. I remembered that night when I followed them. I didn't want to follow them, but my body overpowered my brain.

"But..." I trailed off. I didn't know what to say. "Why are you telling me this?"

"I know you like her. Just go for her." He clapped me on the back. "I'm going home now. Do you want to come with?" He took his car keys out of his jacket pocket.

"No, it's okay. I brought my own car." I said. He nodded and went down the stairs.

I decided to wait for Ga Eul. I don't even know why, because it was freezing outside. After about 40 minutes, Ga Eul cam out and started walking. Was she seriously going to walk home?

"Are you walking home alone at this time of night?" I called out. She spun around and stared at me.

"Y-Yi Jung sunbae..." She stammered.

"Come on, I'll take you home." I grabbed her arm and led her to my car. I closed the door for her and got into the driver's seat.

"Gomawoyo," She said.

"It's no problem." I smiled at her.

We drove in an awkward silence. I wanted to say something, but decided better of it.

"Thank you again!" Ga Eul said happily as we reached her house. She got out and waved. I waved back and drove away.

It was random. It was crazy. But I realized it.

I love Ga Eul.

~o-o~

Ga Eul's POV

I decided to take pottery lessons. Not just because of Yi Jung...it was because he showed me how beautiful pottery was. My teacher was young, beautiful, and kind. I admired her. After classes, we would always chat, and she would talk about her past love.

"You should confess before it's too late," My teacher, Eun Jae, said.

"The thing is...I'm kind of scared. He's totally different from me," I whispered.

"Love can't be achieved with patience. You can't hide it because you want to," She smiled warmly at me. "If you don't want to regret it later, like I do, you should build up your courage and confess your feelings."

"Yeah. Thank you so much." I beamed.

~o-o~

"A date?" Yi Jung echoed. "Didn't we already do that last time?"

"Not a fake one. A real date," I said.

"Ga Eul yang, did something shocking happen to you? Or did you get dumped by some guy?" He smirked.

"I'm not kidding," I tried not to speak in a whisper. "I...I like you, Yi Jung sunbae."

He stared at me for a while.

"Thanks. I really am thankful, but...I have a few rules when it comes to dating." His face was blank, and his voice was cold.

"Rules?" I blinked.

"One. I don't mess with good girls. Two. I also don't mess with idiotic girls. Three. I never mess with girls related to my friends. Ga Eul yang, you go against all three rules. You know that, right?" He looked up at me.

"But..."

"Hence, my answer is no."

"Sunbae..."

"You know where the exit is, right?" He said harshly. He didn't even look at me. I slowly nodded, tears threatening to fall.

I quickly walked out of the studio.

I saw Woo Bin on his way inside. I didn't look at him.

"What's wrong?" He asked softly.

"Nothing. Excuse me." I passed him and ran.

~o-o~

Woo Bin's POV

She couldn't possibly be crying because of Yi Jung. I ran inside. Yi Jung was standing at his table with a beer bottle in his hand, and smashed pot pieces were on the floor.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Nothing." He took a swig from the bottle.

"Stop drinking." I took the bottle out of his hand. He grabbed his coat and started to walk out.

"Where are you going?" I grabbed his arm.

He pushed me away. "If you don't want to see me go crazy, then leave me alone." He ran out.

~o-o~

Ga Eul's POV

When I reached my house, I decided to dress warmly and go for a walk. I stared at the moon. A car suddenly stopped in front of me and the door opened.

"Ga Eul yang," Yi Jung got out of the car and strode towards me. "You said you wanted to go on a date with me, right? Is that offer still good?" He asked.

I gave him a small smile.

I felt myself being pulled. Before I knew it, I was in the backseat with Yi Jung. The chauffeur looked at me like I was a UFO.

~o-o~

We went to a club. It wasn't the one we went to with Woo Bin. This club was bigger, louder, and more crowded.

Yi Jung and I sat at a booth on the third floor. I sat at the edge, while Yi Jung was being groped by two girls who were pretty much naked. He waved at every girl who walked by. I couldn't stand it anymore. I quickly stood up and went to the bathroom.

I washed my hands with cold water and looked it the mirror. Why did I even believe for one second that Yi Jung actually liked me?

When I came out of the bathroom, I searched for the exit. I had to leave.

"If you want to walk away like this, then you shouldn't have asked me for a date." Yi Jung came out from behind the corner.

He bent down and whispered in my ear.

"The highlight of the night has yet to come." Confused, I stared at him. He smirked.

~o-o~

The highlight of the night turned out to be dinner with his dad.

"Did you say your name was Ga Eul? Take your time and enjoy the food." His dad's soft voice would've comforted me, but the way he looked at me was unsettling.

"Thank you." I smiled at him.

"It seems that you like Ga Eul," Yi Jung said to his father rudely.

"Of course, how can I not like a cute young lady like Ga Eul?" He replied.

"I guess I'm just like you after all," Yi Jung's face was neutral, but his voice said otherwise.

"The mother is in the hospital, and the son is out on a date. You don't care if your wife is alive or dead, but you dine on fois gras with a young lady. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?" I wanted to tell Yi Jung to stop. No words came out.

"Let's talk about our family later." Yi Jung's father looked sad.

Yi Jung laughed mockingly.

"Then what should we talk about? You seem to take a liking to this lady. Shall I lend her to you?" Yi Jung gestured to me.

"Yi Jung sunbae." I warned. He ignored me.

"Why are you being so formal and proper?" He continued. "She's about the same age as your former girlfriend." He then turned to me.

"What do you think, Ga Eul? Is my father okay for you?" That was it. I stood up. I grabbed my water and splashed it on him. His smirk disappeared and turned into a look of pure shock.

"Please excuse me." I said to his father. I bowed my head and left. As I walked away, I heard his father say,

"Today, you were the one who went overboard, my son."

~o-o~

I wanted to talk to him. I needed to know why he did what he did. I would accept any answer. The curiosity was just killing me.

I went to his studio. I found Yi Jung slumped on the wall, next to his door. He was passed out. I grabbed his keys from the ground and unlocked the door for him. I tried carrying him inside, but that didn't work. I put his arm around my shoulder for support and tried making him walk inside, but that didn't work either. I resorted to grabbing both of his wrists and dragging him into the studio.

I laid him down on the bench and turned to leave, but he held my wrist, restricting me from leaving.

"i pushed her away." He said in his sleep. I froze.

"I didn't want her to cry. Like mom. Like dad. So I pushed her away." He mumbled. His hand dropped and he started to snore.

I came here searching for an answer and got one while he was unconscious. He probably never would have told me that if he were awake. I stared at his perfect, sleeping face. Watching him sleep made me feel like a creeper, but it made me feel like angels could be humans. It made me feel like we were in our own bubble, and nothing could harm us.

It was random. It was crazy. But I realized it.

Yi Jung wasn't just my crush. I loved him.

~o-o~

Yi Jung's POV

I woke up on my bench. My head was pounding. I remembered my "date" with Ga Eul yesterday.

"Mission accomplished." I mumbled to myself.

After she left the restaurant, I went to a bar and probably got drunk off my ass. But how did I end up here? Did my driver find me?

Ring ring ring.

I checked the caller ID. It was Woo Bin.

"What?" I said groggily into the phone.

"I figured something out," He said.

"What is it?"

"It's about Ga Eul," He began. "She's taking pottery classes."

My hand twitched.

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked.

"I just thought you should know. Since she's probably taking those classes for you and all," I heard him smile.

"Whatever. I have to go, I'm busy." I hung up.

Was she seriously taking pottery classes?
