Chapter 6
A/N: To those of you who PM'd me and asked if I was Korean; Yes. Yes, I am. Thanks for all the reviews! I really appreciate it! I feel...so...loved. So, this chapter is longer now. Yayyyy! And also, I realized that I have completely cut out Woo Bin :( I have "re-added" him! Enjoy!
Ga Eul's POV
I literally fell into my home. Jan Di's grip was so strong, and she walked so fast. I looked at her. She was wearing my favorite green cooking apron.
"Why are you wearing that?" I asked, gesturing to the apron.
"Yah! We'll talk about that later! What I want to talk about right now is your relationship with Mister Playboy!" She shouted.
"Calm down, we're not dating or anything," I was telling the truth.
"Then why were you guys about to kiss? Huh? HUH?" She made the cutest angry face. I stifled a laugh.
"It's okay Jan Di," I smiled, not being able to contain it.
"Aish." She mumbled under her breath. She walked to the kitchen.
"So what are you doing here?" I asked, following her.
"Just to cook for my best friend. Can't I do that?" She looked up from the pot.
"By breaking in?" I raised an eyebrow.
"The front door was unlocked." She blinked. I smacked my forehead.
Again?
"But seriously. Something's wrong. I can tell! So spill it, Geum Jan Di," I sat on the counter.
"Well...tomorrow is graduation...and I'm nervous." She furrowed her brows.
"Why?"
"I don't exactly know. But this lunch is a celebration lunch!" She thrust the soup ladle in the air. I chuckled.
After a few more minutes, the stew was ready. We finished the food that Jan Di prepared. It was delicious.
"Text me, okay? I have to get to my other job." Jan Di wiped her mouth with a napkin. I nodded as she ran out.
Yi Jung's POV
I roamed around my garden. The maids were trimming the lawn and watering the flowers. I didn't want them here for some reason. I went up to one of them.
"Excuse me, pretty miss," I whispered softly in her ear before holding her shoulders.
"You and your friends can stop working. Go inside and take a break." I spun her around and smiled. She blushed. Quickly, all of the maids ran back to the house, squealing.
As soon as they left, I sighed and leaned on the gate.
Why did I love Ga Eul? Why her? What was so different about her?
I closed my eyes and imagined her perfect face. All those times I made her cry. Some of the times when I made her happy. When I kissed her...
"Yi Jung sunbae!" I heard a highly annoying and familiar voice come my way. I turned around and looked through the bars of the gate. It was Jan Di.
"How did you—" I began. I stopped talking when Jan Di got in position for her death kick.
"Holy hell, no!" I backed away. She stepped closer and stuck her leg through the gate. It was locked, right?
Jan Di kicked the gate. She KICKED the platinum gate. It flew open.
"Aish!" I shouted. I ran into the endless garden. She chased me.
"Don't do it, Geum Jan Di! Don't!" I ran in circles while she followed. I turned around to look at her face. Her head was bent down slightly and her lip was curled. Shit.
I ran even faster. I looked back at her face and started to laugh. I felt myself slowing down.
"I have you now, sunbae!" She sprinted towards me. I stopped laughing.
"Shit! No!" I ran some more.
"What's going on?" A wide-eyed Ga Eul came walking through the gates. Jan Di stopped chasing me and squinted at her. Not in a threatening way, but in a scared and nervous kind of way.
"S-see...he was um...h-he..." Jan Di stammered. I felt kind of bad for the chick.
"We were just having a friendly chase. I didn't give her something she needed," I smiled at Ga Eul's waiting face, then handed Jan Di a handkerchief. Jan Di looked up at me questioningly. I winked at her.
"Okay..." Ga Eul looked between us, probably not believing the lie.
"So why are you here, Ga Eul yang?" I asked.
"Well, I should get going now! Bye bye! Thank you for the purple fabric that looks really expensive, sunbae!" Jan Di waved and scurried away. I turned to Ga Eul again.
"Well, I just wanted to ask you something," Ga Eul put her hands behind her back.
"Yes?"
"Well...there's a party after my graduation tomorrow...and I was wondering if you uh..wantbabuhd." She mumbled quickly.
"Huh?" I leaned my ear toward her. I already knew what she was asking.
"I was wondering if you wanted to...be...my date," She looked down.
"No." I looked at her angelic face. She looked up at me, her eyes sad.
"Oh. Okay." She started to walk away. I grabbed her wrist and spun her around. I pulled her close.
"Just kidding," I whispered her ear. I leaned in and touched my lips to hers. Right when I did, I knew that she was the one.
~o-o~
Ga Eul's POV
I was in heaven. Yi Jung's lips were so soft. But how many other girls have these lips touched? And...where else have they been? Why was I being so pervy? Suddenly slightly grossed out, I pulled away.
He didn't say anything. He looked down at me with his absolutely perfect face and then looked away.
"So...um... tomorrow." I said quietly.
"Where?" He asked, still not letting go of me, but pulling me impossibly closer. I felt like my heart was going to beat out of my chest.
"Actually...I don't know. I'll find out though." I tried pulling away from his grip, but he held onto me.
"Just stay like this. Just a little longer." He rested his chin on my head. I felt myself blush. Gladly, he didn't see.
~o-o~
I woke up, only to see Yi Jung's smiling face right in front of mine.
"Y-Yi Jung sunbae? How did you get in here?" I looked around. It was my bedroom.
"The front door was unlocked," He said nonchalantly. I leaned forward and landed on my face on the covers.
"Again?!" I mumbled to myself. "You are such an irresponsible person, Chu Ga Eul. I swear, if someday, it's not someone you know and—" My blabbering was cut off by Yi Jung tapping my head.
"Change of plans,"
"Huh? In what?" I raised my head and leaned on the backboard.
"We're not going to your graduation party. We're going to mine."
"Okay..." I frowned. I didn't know anyone there except for Jan Di and the F4, who probably were going to attract too much attention for my liking.
"What's wrong?" The perfect Casanova asked, leaning in and peering at my face.
"Nothing," I said quickly. "I'm getting out of bed now, 'kay?" I rolled off the other side of the bed. I stood up.
"Um." He pointed his chin towards me. Confused, I looked down. My outfit was not something for him to see. I was wearing spandex shorts, and my T-shirt was see through. I covered my chest and ran to the bathroom.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Chu Ga Eul, you are such an idiot!" I banged my head against the closed door. I heard him laughing from the other side.
"Shut it, So Yi Jung!" I said. I quickly ran out of the bathroom and sprinted into my closet. I quickly got dressed in some jeans and a purple hoodie. I came out.
"The graduation party is at eight o'clock." He said.
"Okay...you're already a freshman at Shin Hwa university, right?" I asked as I put my hair in a ponytail.
"Yeah. Anyways, let's go!" He dragged me out my house.
~o-o~
Yi Jung's POV
"W-Wait, where are we going?" Ga Eul asked, tripping over her feet.
"Just get in," I ignored her question and pushed her into my car.
I'll put your seatbelt on for you," I said as I got in.
I leaned over and clicked the seatbelt in. Her face was right in front of mine. I tried not to stare at her lips. I sat back in my seat and started driving.
~o-o~
I took her inside.
"Why are we here?" Ga Eul looked around the boutique.
"A little graduation present. Pick anything you want," I winked at her.
"Oh no, sunbae, I'm really okay." She shook her head.
"Fine. Then if you don't pick them, I will." I smiled and made her sit down on a cushy chair.
I came back with a white satin dress with gold embroidering. I put the dress in Ga Eul's hands and led her to the dressing room.
She came out, looking like a mixture of the devil and angel. The dress hugged her nicely, and it only exposed a little bit of her legs. The dress dragged along the floor as she walked.
"Do you like it?" I asked.
"Yeah. But...it looks a little too wedding-y, doesn't it?" She gave me a little spin.
I nodded slowly and brought back the exact same dress, just in pink.
She tried it on.
"How about that one?" I asked again.
"Yes... thank you sunbae. But why are you buying this for me?" She cocked her head to the side.
"Just a little graduation present," I winked.
"Oh...but you really don't have to do this," She pursed her lips. I could tell she wanted the dress.
"Oh, but I want to." I took her hand and pushed her back into the dressing room.
"Take it off so I can pay for it." I said.
~o-o~
Ga Eul's POV
"Gomawoyo, sunbae." I looked down at the shopping bags. He had bought me shoes too.
"It's nothing, really," He said, opening the car door for me.
"But...just these clothes put together are more expensive than my house," I gestured to the bags.
"Don't you ever get lonely in that house?" He asked, changing the subject.
"Sometimes. My parents are never home. But once I get into college, I'm thinking of moving out," I say. Yi Jung doesn't say anything.
~o-o~
He parks in front of Woo Bin's "house".
"Why are we here?" I ask.
"This is where the party is going to be. It starts in two hours though."
We go inside and find the maids running around, getting things ready. One of them spots me.
"Oh, hello Miss Ga Eul!" She said. All of them start bowing and smiling.
"Hello, everyone!" I wave.
"Young master is upstairs if you're here to see him," One of them points to the staircase. I nod and go up the stairs.
I knock on Woo Bin's door.
"How do you know everyone so well? And how do you know where Woo Bin's room is?" Yi Jung asks. I ignore him.
The door swings open. Woo Bin is shirtless, only wearing pajama pants. A girl wearing nothing but a blanket is in the back of his room.
"Oh, hey," He doesn't seem bothered by anything. I blush, trying not to stare at the girl.
"Hi, sunbae," I said.
"Why are you guys here so early?" The Don Juan asks, leaning on the large doorframe.
"I don't know. Just because." Yi Jung shrugs.
"Well, can you guys go wait in one of the guest rooms? I have to send her home," Woo Bin gestures to the girl behind him. Yi Jung and I nod and go off somewhere else.
~o-o~
I closed the door behind me. We were in what I was guessing was a guest room. It was as big as Woo Bin's bedroom. Yi Jung took the shopping bags out of my hand. He took the dress and shoes out and handed them to me.
"Get dressed." He pointed to the bathroom. I nodded and walked into it.
I quickly put on the dress and the golden glitter pumps. I looked in the mirror. I looked expensive. Too expensive.
I walked out.
"You look stunning," Yi Jung smiled. I tried not to fall to the ground blushing and giggling.
"Thank you," I did a little spin for him.
"The zipper's not all the way up," He turned me around so that my back was facing him. His fingers grazed my back as he fixed the zipper.
Keep breathing, Chu Ga Eul. Keep breathing.
~o-o~
The guests started to arrive, one by one. Suddenly, I remembered why there was a party in the first place.
"My graduation ceremony! I'm missing it!" I said to myself, panicking. I ran to find Yi Jung. He was fixing his tie.
"I need to get to my graduation, sunbae!" I said quickly.
"Relax. Your whole school and graduation ceremony will be here. And all of Shin Hwa will be here too," He told me calmly. I let out a breath of relief.
"That's...a lot of people then," I said. He smiled at me through the mirror.
We went downstairs together. Everyone was loud and seemed to be having fun. I searched for Jan Di.
She was dancing with Woo Bin in the middle of the dance floor. At least she didn't step on people's feet anymore. I giggled to myself and ran over to her. Her eyes widened when she saw me.
"Yah...Chu Ga Eul...where did you get those clothes?" She pulled away from Woo Bin. I sighed.
"Yi Jung forced me to let him buy these,"
"AISH. I know how it feels! Goo Joon Pyo always does that! He's the most annoying thing to have ever walked this earth." She raised her fist and waved it back and forth. I looked around the room, slightly embarrassed.
"Excuse me, would you like to dance?" I felt a tapping on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Woo Bin. He smiled.
We swayed to the music.
"So, are you with Yi Jung yet? Did he confess his undying love for you?" He made kissy faces. I scrunched my nose.
"He did confess. Kind of,"
"So you're seriously not with him yet?" He asked before spinning me.
"No, it never came up,"
"Make him want you to himself. More than he does now," He suggested.
"How? Have you seen me? I'm pretty plain,"
"Not right now you're not," He smirked and looked above my head. "This might do the trick," He dipped me right as the music ended. He leaned in close.
"H-Hey! What are you—" I was pulled away from Woo Bin. He waved happily at me as I was being abducted.
~o-o~
"Don't let him do that," Yi Jung said. He had taken me outside, in front of Woo Bin's outdoor pool.
"Do what?"
"This," Yi Jung dipped me and leaned in close to my face.
"Why not?" I bit my lip.
"Because then he can do this." Yi Jung's lips touched mine. I felt myself melting in his arms.
He pulled away.
"Ga Eul?" He hugged me.
"Hm?" I answered.
"You're mine now." I heard him smile. I nodded.
"Yi Jung?" A calm voice called out. "The graduation ceremony is about to begin." Yi Jung and I turned around and saw Ji Hoo, in a white tux. We followed him inside.
~o-o~
"Congrats on your graduation, yo!" Woo Bin slapped my back.
"Sunbae. Seriously?" I laughed at his choice of words. He smiled and went off somewhere else.
"Ga Eul yang," Yi Jung came up behind me.
"Yes?" I turned around to face him.
"Come on," He took my hand and led me outside.
The night sky was dotted with stars.
"Why are we at the pool again?" I asked.
"I don't know why, but it's kind of relaxing out here at night," He sat on one of the million-dollar beach chairs.
"I guess," I sat down too.
"Ga Eul, do you remember what you said to me? About true love?" He asked out of the blue.
"Y-Yes,"
"I believe you now." He turned to me and smiled. He walked over to the pool and stood at the edge.
"What's your favorite memory?" He asked a random question again. I stood behind him.
"This memory," I pushed him into the pool and started laughing.
"Same here." He grabbed my ankle and pulled me in.
"Ah!" I screamed. I landed in the pool with a splash.
~o-o~
We came out of the pool, soaking wet. Yi Jung grabbed my hand and went inside.
"Why are you guys wet?" Woo Bin came up to us.
"We went for a swim," Yi Jung replied. Woo Bin smirked at me as the Casanova led me back to the guest room.
"Here," He put a towel over my head and dried my hair a little.
"T-Thank you," I shivered.
"You should change. The party's almost over anyway." He pointed to the closet.
"There are clothes in there?"
"Probably," He said.
"Okay..." I walked into the closet and dressed into a pale blue summer dress.
I walked out and saw Yi Jung, in his shirtless glory, towel drying his hair. I turned around and faced the door.
"What are you doing?" Yi Jung asked.
"N-Nothing!"
"Are you...scared?" He laughed.
"Of what? Nothing!" I said quickly.
"I don't plan on making anything happen, you know," I heard the smile in his voice.
I stayed silent, feeling like an idiot. Of course nothing would happen!
I turned back around. Yi Jung had put on a shirt.
"But then again, I do want to make one thing happen." He said. He stepped towards me.
"H-Huh?" I backed against the wall.
He put his arms on the wall, trapping me. He touched his lips to mine softly.
