Yi Jung's POV

What does Woo Bin want with me? He's probably going to brag about Ga Eul. I clenched my fists and took a deep breath. I walked towards the boardwalk. In the distance, I saw Woo Bin leaning on the railing.

"What do you want?" I stood next to him, looking out at the sea.

"I want Ga Eul," he crossed his arms. "You've been treating her like crap. I don't think you deserve her. In fact, even if you did, she wouldn't go back to you,"

"What makes you say that?" I clenched my jaw.

"She told me herself. She likes me. I've been there for her way more than you have,"

"You don't know what I've done for her. You don't know anything about her." I heard my voice get louder through the blood pulsing in my ears.

"Like you know anything either," he narrowed his eyes. "All you did was treat her a tiny bit better than one of your skanks and called it love!"

My fist collided with his jaw, causing a loud cracking noise to echo through the quiet air.

"You went too far. Don't act like you know everything about how I feel." I turned away from him and went back inside to my room. As soon as I slammed the door behind me, I kicked the wall and screamed.

~o-o~

"Yi Jung!" Jun Pyo waved his hands in front of my face. "So! Yi! Jung!"

"What?" I snapped. Jun Pyo jumped back a little.

"You're not paying attention to the game," he nodded toward the table.

"I'm not really in the mood anymore," I sighed and put my cards down.

I leaned against the back of the chair and sighed again. Closing my eyes, I thought about my conversation with Woo Bin. Was what he said really true? Was I that bad of a person?

A loud and obnoxious voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Jun Pyooooo!" Jae Kyung skipped into the room.

"What the hell do you want, monkey?!"

Jae Kyung pouted and folded her arms across her chest. She stepped closer to Jun Pyo as he scooted away from her. The monkey queen grabbed the back of his chair so he could move no further.

"Stop that! Let go! What is it?!" Jun Pyo flailed his arms around and tried to stand up. Jae Kyung grabbed him and sat him back down.

"Will you stop treating me like I'm the cause of some plague?!" she sighed in annoyance and rolled her eyes.

"You're the cause of a plague, alright. It's the annoying freak plague! Leave me alone!" Jun Pyo whined.

"You're such a childish idiot! Can't you just listen to what I have to say before telling me I'm diseased?!"

Their bickering went on and on. It got more annoying by the second. I pursed my lips and went back to my room. I fell onto the bed and covered my eyes with my arm. There was no point in sulking anymore. Ga Eul liked Woo Bin now. It was really over. I felt a pang in my chest and my eyes started to sting.

~o-o~

Mystery POV

I can't stop thinking about him. I'm not happy. My day drags on lackadaisically each day. I decide to tell the man that I'm going to visit my parents. Finally, I can visit him and see him again.

A/N: Can you guess who that was? :D

~o-o~

Ga Eul's POV

"Here, sunbae," I hand Woo Bin a bowl of salad. We decided to have a picnic together since the weather was especially nice today.

"Thanks," he smiles happily. "Take this sandwich."

It feels nice to move on from Yi Jung. I stare at Woo Bin, who seems to have happiness radiating off of him. His black dress shirt and jeans don't exactly fit in with the sunshine and nature all around us.

"You shouldn't wear such dark clothes. It's hot today," I said.

"Are you suggesting that I take them off, Chu Ga Eul?" Woo Bin smirked and started to unbutton his shirt.

"No, no, no! Stop!" Turning my face away from him, I squeezed my eyes shut. Sunbae laughed.

"I was only teasing. Pass me the water jug, will ya?"

I faced him again, glared, and walked over to the table to grab the water. Oof! It was really heavy. With both my hands and all of my strength, I lifted the container shakily and attempted to walk back to Woo Bin sunbae.

Bzzz.

A gigantic wasp buzzed around my face.

"AAAHHHH!" I screamed and threw my hands in the air, spilling the water all over the food and Woo Bin. Sunbae quickly stood up, drenched.

"I'm so sorry!" I covered my face with my hands.

"You're pretty sly. Was this your innocent way of making me take my clothes off?" he smirked and took off his shirt. I looked up and saw his perfectly sculpted body and hid my face again.

"I really didn't mean to! I'm sorry!"

"It's fine, so stop apologizing!" he laughed. I peeked at him through my fingers in all his shirtless glory.

He obviously worked out.

"What are you staring at?" Sunbae crossed his arms and smiled.

"N-nothing!" I squeaked.

He tackled me to the ground and put his face an inch away from mine. His dazzling smile made me blush.

"You're adorable." He said as a drop of water from his wet hair landed on my forehead.

~o-o~

When we went inside to dry off, Jae Kyung attacked me.

"Ga Eul!" she gave me a rib-crushing hug and lifted me off of the ground. Jae Kyung smiled brightly and put her hands on my shoulders.

"Can I talk to you in private?" she asked. I nodded and followed her into the kitchen. We sat down at the counter. Her face turned grim and she pursed her lips. I studied her. She truly was beautiful. Her porcelain skin glowed, and her long eyelashes wavered as she looked down sadly. She tucked her neatly trimmed hair behind her ear.

"Are you..." she trailed off.

"Huh?"

"Are you dating W..." she stopped talking again.

"Unnie, what are you trying to say?" I asked worriedly.

"Um...are you dating w...ith Yi Jung still?" she suddenly turned cheerful. I frowned but ignored it.

"No...we got in a fight and broke up,"

"I'm sorry," her eyebrows knitted together.

"But it's okay now! Woo Bin sunbae makes me happier than Yi Jung sunbae did," I frowned again. Was I just lying to make myself feel better?

"Oh...so you're dating Woo Bin?" Jae Kyung got quiet.

"Well, I don't know exactly what our relationship is but...yeah, I guess,"

"I see. Well, I wish you the best!" she smiled and stood up from her chair. "That was all I wanted to talk to you about. Nothing that important, sorry about that,"

"N-no, it's fine!" I shook my head. She looked like she was in such a hurry.

"I'm gonna go now." Unnie pursed her lips and left.

~o-o~

Yi Jung's POV

The morning sun blinded me when I opened my eyes. I rolled over and covered my face with a pillow.

"Ugh..." I closed my eyes, trying to fall back asleep because reality sucked.

The door swung open.

"Up, up, up! Rise and shine!" Jun Pyo chirped, smiling like an idiot. I glared at him and threw the pillow at his face, causing him to stumble backwards.

"Aish, what's your problem?!" he shouted.

"Shut up..." I groaned and pulled the sheets over my head. "Why the hell are you bothering me right now? Let me sleep!"

"Well, we're going out for breakfast so you have to come!"

"I can starve,"

"No, no you can't. Your groupies will be sad and you need to wake up," I heard him walk towards me. The annoying little horse crap pulled the sheets off of me and pulled me out of bed. There was a loud thud when my back hit the ground.

"You little shit! I could've broken a bone or something!" I sat up and rubbed my lower back. Jun Pyo shrugged.

"Get ready, and quickly!" he ran out of the room.

~o-o~

We entered a restaurant that had a view of the beach. The waiter led us to a booth by the window. Jan Di clapped her hands together and licked her lips.

"I'm going to eat all of the crab! And clams! And oysters!" she begun to tie her hair back. Jun Pyo hit her on the back of the head.

"Ya! You idiot! This is breakfast time, not dinner!" he sighed.

"Um, excuse me? Is there a law that says I have to eat only certain types of food for breakfast? No. There is not. Shut up."

"D-did you just tell me to shut up?!"

They started arguing again, as usual. I pinched the bridge of my nose. Someone's hands touched my shoulder. I turned to them.

"Oppa, what's wrong?" one of the dumpsters asked me. Her eye shadow was too dark and thick for the morning.

"You're annoying," I pushed her arm off.

"Yi Jung, be nicer to the people who adore you!" Jae Kyung scolded.

Woo Bin stared at me, his arm around Ga Eul.

Be nicer to the people who adore you.

All you did was treat her a tiny bit better than one of your skanks and called it love.

Ga Eul won't go back to you.

The voices swirled around in my head until I couldn't stand it anymore. I stood up abruptly.

"I'm leaving."

As I walked out, I heard Jun Pyo yelling at Jae Kyung.

~o-o~

Ga Eul's POV

I stared down at the table. I couldn't stop thinking about Yi Jung. He looked so upset, and it broke my heart. I shook my head furiously, trying to get the image out of my head. No. He hurt me, and that was that.

"What's wrong?" Woo Bin asked. I looked up at him and forced a smile.

"Nothing, why?" I asked. Sunbae shrugged and flipped through the menu.

Why did no one care that he left? Everyone seemed so happy, without a care in the world, as if he had never come at all. Most importantly, why couldn't I stop thinking about him? I pinched myself and thought about all kinds of porridge. It didn't seem to work. Yi Jung's face kept appearing in the middle of the porridge bowl as I scooped some up.

"Don't eat me!" he cried. "You love me!"

My hand kept moving the hot porridge towards my mouth.

"Why did you do that, Ga Eul?!" Yi Jung screamed in pain. "Why do you hate me?"

"NO!" I shouted and slammed my fists on the table. Everyone was staring at me, even the waiter.

"So...you...don't want anything to drink?" the waiter asked quietly.

"No, um, I'm so sorry. I'll just have water," I smiled sheepishly and looked down.

"A-alright. And for you sir?" the waiter moved on from me. I sighed and touched my burning cheeks.

Well THAT was embarrassing.

"Are you okay?" Woo Bin frowned. I nodded.

"Are you sure?" Jan Di asked.

"Yes, I'm fine, you guys. Don't worry about it!" I smiled.

~o-o~

We arrived home after our filling breakfast. Everyone decided to go to the beach to exercise the calories away.

"I can barely walk, you guys go without me!" I held my full stomach and stumbled inside the beach house.

Yi Jung was sleeping on the couch. I quietly walked up to him and stared at his perfect face. I was almost positive that he wasn't human. His shirt was partly unbuttoned, his hair was slightly tousled, and his face looked so peaceful. Suddenly, I heard a loud, grumbling noise.

"Was that...his stomach?" I walked into the kitchen and put together an egg salad sandwich and a strawberry smoothie. I walked back out and set it on the table in front of the couch.

"Sunbae," I lightly shook him. "Sunbae!"

He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He saw me and quickly sat up.

"What is it?" he asked coldly.

"I, uh, made you a sandwich. Since you didn't eat breakfast with us,"

"I'm not hungry. I don't need it," he pushed the plate towards me.

I picked up the sandwich and stuffed it in his mouth. His expression told me that he was satisfied.

"Okay, well I'm going to go upstairs. I hope you finish it all," I purse my lips and go up the steps. I secretly watched from the railing when he devoured the rest of the sandwich in three bites and chugged the smoothie. I giggled to myself and went to my room.

~o-o~

After napping for two hours, I went back downstairs and saw that everyone had returned. Yi Jung and I made eye contact. He quickly turned his head away. My feet carried me to the couch to sit by him. Everyone stared at me in confusion.

"W-what?" I blushed.

"The hell?" Jun Pyo blurted. Jan Di kicked him in the shin.

Why...did I sit by him?! I pursed my lips and looked down at my hands. Yi Jung cleared his throat and looked away, but stayed in his spot.

~o-o~

Woo Bin's POV

I sat down on the sand and looked up at the stars. It was peaceful as I heard the ocean waves smother the shore. I sighed. Things were getting complicated. Very complicated. I put my hands behind my head and laid down in the soft powder.

"Woo Bin," someone said. I sat up and turned around. Jae Kyung gave me a small smile.

"Yeah? What is it?"

Why is my heartbeat quickening?

"Why are you out here? It's getting late," she stepped closer to me.

"Just to relax, I guess," I shrugged.

"I have a question,"

"Hm?"

"Do you like Ga Eul?"

I felt my cheeks get hot. I cleared my throat and coughed. Jeez, she didn't have to ask me so directly.

"N-no, I mean, definitely not...that...much. I don't know, do you?" I scratched my head.

"You do, huh?" Jae Kyung looked down. Her bottom lip quivered.

"Hey..." I grabbed her chin and pulled her face up. "What's wrong?"

She stared at me with her eyes sparkling with tears, and then wrapped her arms around my neck.

"What are you—" I was cut off when she kissed me.

~o-o~

Ga Eul's POV

I stopped in my tracks. They...were kissing. My eyes filled with tears as I ran back inside. I sped past Yi Jung but he grabbed my wrist, pulling me back.

"Ga Eul," he searched my eyes. "What happened?"

I turned away from him, letting the tears fall. He pulled me closer to him.

"Ga Eul, tell me what's wrong!" he frowned and peered into my face. He wiped my tears with his hands.

"I saw them k-kiss, and I d-didn't know that he liked her, and—"

He pushed my head onto his shoulder and hugged me so tightly that I couldn't breathe. I pulled away from our embrace and looked up at him. He leaned in closer and kissed me on the lips softly.

"I'm sorry," he whispered. I cried even more.

~o-o~

Ji Hoo's POV

I tossed and turned. I couldn't sleep. I got out of bed and walked over to the window to watch the ocean. I spotted two figures on the sand, kissing. I squinted to get a better look at their faces.

"I know that one's Jae Kyung..." I moved my face closer to the window.

"Woo Bin?" I frowned and cocked my head to the side. That didn't seem right. I sighed and turned away. I wasn't going to stick my nose in the business of others.

Ring ring ring.

I looked at the unfamiliar number on my phone and answered it.

"Yoboseyo?"

"Ji Hoo..." she whispered. My heart stopped.

"It's you..." I breathed in relief. "It's really you,"

"I'm coming to visit you soon," she sobbed.

"W-why are you crying?" my panicky voice made her cry harder.

"I'm so happy, Ji Hoo," she sniffled. "I can finally see you again,"

"But what about..." I trailed off. I looked down.

"It's fine. Don't worry about it." she laughed and sobbed at the same time.

"I...miss you." I whispered.

~o-o~

Ga Eul's POV

"Good morning!" I said to the wall. I sat up in bed and stretched my arms. I remembered the night before.

Woo Bin grabbed Jae Kyung's chin and pulled her face up. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"I'm sorry," Yi Jung whispered.

I held my face in my hands. Was I supposed to be happy or sad?

Someone knocked on the door. I jumped off the bed and opened the door. Yi Jung stood there, awkwardly rocking back and forth on his heels.

"Hi..." I gave him a small smile.

"Hey..." he played with his hands.

"About yesterday, I, uh..." I couldn't find the right words. He planted a kiss on my cheek.

I actually really didn't know how I felt about it. It felt weird to just go back to being normal, even though so much had happened, but I wanted to be with him again. Also, there was Woo Bin.

"Um...can we talk about it?" I asked.

"Sure," he followed me inside and closed the door behind him.

"Well, I don't think it's right for us to just pretend nothing happened," I began.

"We're not."

Ugh, he was making me feel like a weak loser.

"And Woo Bin...with him, it's kind of complicated..."

"I'll figure that out." he gave me a nod.

"Um, okay, but still, about the..." I looked down at my feet.

"We won't pretend nothing happened, like I did every other time. I'll...I'll make it up to you," he smiled, lighting up my whole room.

~o-o~

Yi Jung's POV

I went downstairs to look for Woo Bin. I found him in the kitchen, animatedly chatting with Jae Kyung. I sat down next to him.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" I asked. He nodded and followed me out to the beach.

"I heard you kissed Jae Kyung yesterday," I said. He stared at me in surprise.

"She kissed me when I was off-guard," he shook his head.

"Well, good job for being off-guard, because Ga Eul saw," I scoffed.

"What? She did? What happened?" he turned back towards the beach house. I grabbed his arm.

"She thinks you like Jae Kyung. Do you?"

Woo Bin stared at me and said, "I think I actually might."

I clenched my fists.

"So are you saying you want to be with Jae Kyung now?"

"I don't know," he looked away.

"How the hell do you not know?" I grabbed his collar. "You insulted me and got in a fight with me, just for Ga Eul, and now you like some girl who randomly barged in on our trip here?"

"Don't talk about her like that. We're similar people," he pulled my hands off of him.

"You barely even know her!"

"How would you know?" he pushed me.

"Don't start," I warned him.

"I have nothing else to say to you." Woo Bin walked back inside.

~o-o~

Woo Bin's POV

"Ga Eul?" I knocked on her door.

"Who is it?" she replied.

"Woo Bin," I said. There was absolute silence, until I heard some sheets rustling. She opened the door.

"Did you see..." I stopped talking. She looked heartbroken. Ga Eul bit her lip.

"I...think you should be with Jae Kyung unnie," she smiled.

"But—"

"I'm with Yi Jung sunbae again, so..."

"What?" I frowned. "Can you hold on?"

I ran off downstairs to talk to Yi Jung again.

~o-o~

Ga Eul's POV

"You ALWAYS take the longest to finish packing! Hurry up! We have to go soon!" Jan Di screamed.

"Okay, okay. I get it," I folded the last of my shirts quickly.

When I zipped up my suitcase, Jan Di snatched it from me and ran out the door. I followed her out. We all made our way to the jet and got in.

Yi Jung came up behind me as I searched for a place to sit.

"Sit with me." he whispered.

We went to the back and sat down across from eachother.

~o-o~

"I see Korea!" Jan Di shouted and pointed out the window.

"Shut up!' Jun Pyo glared.

I looked over at Ji Hoo sunbae. He was leaning off of his seat, as if he was ready to get off. He looked excited. Maybe he just really wanted to go home.

"Hello, this is your captain speaking. We will be landing shortly."

~o-o~

We got off the jet. Everyone stared at eachother.

"Do you guys want to go somewhere to eat?" Jae Kyung asked. We all nodded our heads except for Ji Hoo.

"Sunbae?" Jan Di asked. "Are you coming?"

He picked up his bag and ran off. Was he that eager to go home?

"Where's he going?" Jun Pyo frowned.

"He's running really fast," Woo Bin said.

"Ji Hoo!" Jun Pyo called out. Ji Hoo sunbae didn't turn back and kept on running.

We all shrugged and left him alone.

~o-o~

Instead of going to a restaurant, everyone declared that they were too tired and went home. After everyone was dropped off, Jun Pyo, Jan Di, Yi Jung, and I remained.

"Take me home, you filthy animal! I don't want to spend any more time with you! Let! Me! Sleep!" Jan Di threw a tantrum and repeatedly kicked the back of the passenger seat. Jun Pyo turned around.

"If you want to sleep, then just sleep with me!" He shouted. Jan Di hit the back of his head.

"What kind of a sleazy trick is that?!"

"Excuse me?! Sleazy?! Look here you little..."

The bickering continued, as always. I chuckled to myself. I could never imagine Yi Jung sunbae being like that with me. Our relationship wasn't playful like Jan Di and Jun Pyo's. It was...calm? I looked up and made eye contact with sunbae in the rearview mirror. I blushed and looked down.

"Ga Eul," he said softly.

"Y-yes?"

"Come to my house."

I stopped breathing.

Okay, what does he mean? Does he just want to spend some time with me or does he want to...no! No, no! He wouldn't! I mean, maybe! Well...he has! But...but what?! What am I even thinking?! OH GOD, THE IMAGES. STOP, GA EUL STOP. Maybe he just wants to sleep? With me there? Together? Sleep...TOGETHER?! WAIT. OH NO, THE IMAGES ARE BACK. STOP STOP STOP.

"Uh...Ga Eul?" he tilted his head in confusion at the dragging silence.

"S-sorry! What?"

"I asked you to come to my house,"

Asked? No you didn't! You demanded! IT WAS A COMMAND!"

"Ah, okay...sure!" I said.

WAIT...WHAT DID I JUST SAY?

~o-o~

"Put me down! Right now! I'll bite you!" Jan Di was being carried by Jun Pyo into his house. I smiled and she punched his back several times before resorting to biting his shoulder.

"Since they're gone, come sit in the passenger seat," Yi Jung sunbae turned to me and smiled.

"O-o-okay," I stuttered. I hurriedly got in the seat next to him. I looked out the window to avoid making eye contact with him.

"Hey," he grabbed my hand. "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing! Hahaha. Ha." I pulled my hand away and pretended to fix my hair.

~o-o~

"Welcome, Young Master and Miss Ga Eul," the maids said in unison. We smiled at them as Yi Jung dragged me up the stairs to his room. He closed the door behind him and stared at me for what seemed like a long time.

"W-what is it?" I asked self-consciously.

"Do you..." he trailed off. I blushed, thinking of the possibilities of what he could've said.

"Do you want dinner?" he asked. He seemed nervous.

"Oh...sure!"

~o-o~

Ji Hoo's POV

I waited eagerly, fidgeting with the coffee cup in my hands. I couldn't wait to see her again. I wondered why she had suddenly decided to come see me. I thought she had forgotten all about me. Was she...unhappy?

"Ji Hoo!" I turned around and saw her standing there. Her pale blue skirt swayed back and forth as she waved. She ran over to our table and sat down across from me.

"Seo Hyun," I whispered. Her angelic face didn't even compare to any other model.

"Why did you come back?" I stared into my cup.

"I...I missed you," she said quietly.

~o-o~

Yi Jung's POV

Here we go again.

Once again, Ga Eul drank too much alcohol. She leaned back in her chair and sighed in content, her cheeks red.

"Listen up! So. Yi. Jung." she pointed her finger at me.

"You! You're such a ladies' man! Fix it!" she shouted.

"Ga Eul, I think you should go to bed now," I stood up and tried to pick her up. She waved me off.

"Um, 'scuse me?! Go to bed? With you? No, no, no." she abruptly stood up, almost falling over.

"Just 'cause you're really hot, like, REALLY hot, you think you can get me to do that with you?!" she punched my arm and ran over to the couch.

"Ga Eul!" I followed her. "Get some sleep, really."

"How will I sleep with you around?!"

"I won't do anything, I promise," I bit my lip. Would I?

"Does this make my look like an octopus?" she giggled and flailed her arms around. I quickly picked her up and carried her upstairs.

"Put me down! Heeeey! Whoa. I'm flying."

I softly laid her on the bed and pulled the covers over her. Suddenly, she grabbed my arm.

"Sunbae?"

"Hm?"

"Aren't you going to do anything to me?"

"No," I sighed.

"Why not?"

"Do you want me to?" I leaned closer. I heard her suck in a breath.

"Yes," she whispered.

I kissed her forehead.

"Not like this," I smiled. "Goodnight,"

I turned off the lights.

"Aish..." Ga Eul muttered.

After a few minutes, she started to snore.
