Thanks to KoreanLover300 for beta reading my story.
Everything was perfectly like he left it before. There was no change whatsoever that could be seen. Since the day the Casanova went to study overseas, Ga Eul hasn't been in his mansion until now. In the past, she wondered a lot about how it would have felt to be here, to feel and see what he left behind and at least be happy that she knew for sure he was coming back. Now, she didn't need to wonder anymore as her potter returned back and was taking her to his place. Asking herself what could be the reason for bringing her here, she kept quiet as thoughts came to her head of what it could be.
Eyes begin to look at every detail she missed for so long while So Yi Jeong kept pulling her upstairs. There was no denying she started to feel again nervous being by his side. All these years and it felt like meeting a new person again, but someone you were waiting for to love.
"Where are you taking me?" she asked a bit out of breath for how he was hurrying her to run up the stairs. A huge tiredness was weighing on her body as for how the day was full of activities, being wasted all energy in just her job. Now she had to run the stairs.
"You will see" he was always just like that. Giving unsatisfying sentences that could make someone even more curious. Ga Eul heaved a sigh while she shook her head for how unfair that response was.
Finally, at the top of the stairs, Yi Jeong looked at the door where all this time he wanted to take her again. A smile crept out of his mouth as he glanced to his girlfriend with a sensual eye-smile that could melt your heart. Returning his glare, she wasn't sure if to continue with this as she remember what that door held inside. If nothing of the mansion had changed, she acknowledged that that room hasn't either. It brought her painful memories of the past, of how everything seemed to be her fault of what happen just by looking at that door.
Yi Jeong pushed it open and stepped in. Turning around, he looked at the country bumpkin and extended his hand as an invitation for her to come and pass. At first she hesitated but then she gained strength and went with him.
Shock was written on all of her face as she glanced to every inch of the room. Ga Eul could not believe what her eyes were seeing at the moment. A smile slowly appeared on her lips as she glanced to the Casanova very proud.
"Every time I finished a piece of art in Sweden, I would send it here and make them organize once again this room with all of my new pots and vases" he walked behind her and rested his hands on top of her shoulders while pointing at parts of the room and explaining more to her.
"I started with this one as you can clearly see" the potter said while grabbing the vase in his arms and glancing at how ugly and deformed it looked. Ga Eul agreed this time with him as she could see what he meant with his expression.
Then, they kept looking at a line of pots and vases in the tables. Each one of them looked more better than the other until the last one, who had no imperfections anywhere. This was what he worked so hard for. This was what she wanted for him, to become the greatest potter of all time. Ga Eul was glad to see how he improved and became once again the successful potter he was before the accident. At least now she could feel at peace.
"This is what I wanted to show you" he said with a proud smile that emerged from his lips.
The country bumpkin kept looking at them, almost teary. Feelings were getting mixed, she did not know what to feel at this moment. Four years. Four years cost her to wait for the errors she made in the past. She wondered what would have happened if she wouldn't have gone in the first place to that club -where the dreams of the Casanova almost vanished because of her- and how everything would have turned out until now. Maybe they would have already been married. Maybe, a baby? She shook her head by that thought. However, inside those mixed feelings, there was this small happiness for how time has awarded her patience and waiting.
Sitting on the border of the table, feet still touching the floor, the Casanova looked at her with a relieved smile, glad to be back home and once again back with her. Now that he was once again here, Yi Jeong wanted a different and new story for them. Open chapters in their life they never thought possible.
"Ga Eul-" he paused and waited for her to look at him. "All this- you were my inspiration" he couldn't stop smiling and even more when she blushed by that comment. Yes, Ga Eul was the same innocent girl he met four years ago, only that this time she was no girl but woman. That made him think, a lot.
"Even for this ugly vase?" she teased him acting all offended.
"Yah! That is still art!"
After that she went suddenly towards him and gave him a small peck on the lips. He froze. She smiled. How could his body not respond at this moment? Why did his brain abruptly shut down? Her eyes, smile , her stare, everything seemed desirable. Those lips that were only touched by him were speaking to the Casanova, telling him to kiss her.
A hand swiftly went to the back of her head and pulls her towards his face. Their lips crushed fiercely. Ga Eul's eyes were wide open for a moment, unable to understand what just happened. But when she did know what to do, she relaxed and closed her eyes. Yi Jeong's heavy breathing could be heard every time he moved his lips to another position. She stood still, letting the Casanova do the job for her. Then, the moment got more intense as he searched for more. She opened her mouth and followed his movements.
Suddenly, a hand went around the bottom of her back, pulling her closer to him. Even this was something she would want, the country bumpkin couldn't stop from shaking and feeling nervous for what could happen now. A soft touch alarmed her that some fingers were brushing against untouched parts. The hand of the Casanova was smoothly making its way up under her shirt to the top of her back. Ga Eul felt scared for this, not because she didn't want him to do it but she wasn't ready for this step. So Yi Jeong noticed the look in her eyes as she stopped kissing him. He stops and looked ashamed for what he did. Thinking of her as a woman made him really attracted to the thought of examining her this way.
"Sorry" he said while looking how sad she seemed. This was his fault. The potter didn't want her to think he just wanted this. Even when he wanted to have something more intimate, he respected her in every way and decision. If she wasn't ready, he was going to wait.
Ga Eul didn't say a word and just glanced down to the floor. This was their first day together after so long, it was obvious that his hormones were all going crazy. She didn't blame him, she herself was feeling like that sometimes for him. But the slight preoccupation of not satisfying him made her wonder if this wouldn't make him tired or disappointed.
So Yi Jeong definitely sensed these thoughts of her like any other innocent girl would have. Lifting her chin up, he stared at her eyes with a smile. "I'm never going to pressure nor to hurry you up" she smiled a bit, still sad.
"Our relationship doesn't depend on this, Ga Eul. It's our love for each other that matters, just that. If I have to wait years, I will, because I love you" she smiled back this time, happy that he understood her perfectly. There was this huge relief to hear his words and know he wasn't rushing this.
"So Yi Jeong returned?" a woman around the age of forty-five yelled and asked to her majordome. Slamming her hands violently against the desk, she stood up angrily and thought for a second while breathing heavily.
"Why didn't he come here first?" she asked as if the man knew it all. The majordome shook his head not knowing the response to that.
"He has been avoiding me all these years, but no more" she looked decided.
The woman tries to calm herself as she could see this was not her way to react to this kind of situation. Giving a sigh, she completely changed her mood to more relaxed. Even a small grin she was wearing. Something of that could scare anyone as she had changed all of a sudden to a new person. She begins to walk slowly around the room and stop herself in front of a fireplace where it had on top some pictures. Carefully, she brushed her fingers against the cold glass that had the image behind of two young boys sitting on their parents lap. It was a family photo.
"After I helped each of them climb to the top of society, this is how they repay me back?" she was talking very calm.
"I'm their mother. I don't understand why they treat me like this" a slight hint of hurt could be heard in her words as she still was looking at the two young boys in the picture.
"One wanted to be independent from this family, build his own life without our help" she looked at the boy who she was talking about. Then, her eyes fixed on the other one.
"And the other-" she paused, trying not to sound sad. "-became this succesful and famous but is the one who hates me" she kept silence after that. Looking at that picture seems like a terrible idea, regretting to ever get inside this room full of memories.
Suddenly, her face harden and turned around very angry. She looked at the majordome with a furious glare "Bring them both to me" she ordered the man and he immediately went to do as he was told.
After looking at the man go, she sighed and smiled to herself. Adjusting her shirt, she left the room without any further to do there. Determined to change everything once and for all and take control.
"Tell me, do you like your job?" this was one of the questions to bring a conversation. Also, he was interested to know how she felt with it.
"I'm surprised you don't know that since Woo Bin always tells you everything" she said without even sounding surprised by that fact.
"Yah! What you do is very different from how you feel!" he excused himself and sigh frustrated, looking to the road. He was going to drop her off in her home.
"I'm even more surprised that you didn't tell him to check on me while actually being inside the classroom." totally ignoring what he said before. Resting her head against the glass window, she waited for a response, but nothing.
So Yi Jeong looked embarrass to the front, not wanting to even catch a glimpse of her face or give any expression to her.
"Did you seriously tell him to do that?" she asked not believing how bold the Casanova could be. She gave him a small punch on his arm.
"He didn't do it, okay!" he tried to excuse himself again. He stood silence for a couple of seconds. Then he looked at her with a joking grin.
"He was so busy to do that..." a playful smile came out of his mouth as he told the complete reason. Out of nowhere he got hit on the arm a little harder. He looked at her trying to act offended, but she was already in that mood. Ga Eul looked at him very serious and after a seconds, she couldn't contain it anymore and laughed. He laughed too.
Finally, in front of the building, he examined it very carefully. This was her new home, her new apartment, all by herself. A sudden thought came and he felt scared. What if someone breaks into her home? She is the only one there. How could she defend herself without having him there to protect her? All these questions popped into his head and he suddenly felt this scary feeling to leave her like this.
Ga Eul noticed his preoccupied stare and smiled. "I have been living here for two years as you already know." she paused and could see he was still lost in his thoughts.
"There isn't any danger around here. It has always been safe" she assured him and that's when he snapped out of his trance. He heard her but he was more focused on what could happen in the future, him now being here at her disposal. The Casanova knew that his friend was always watching her, always protecting her, and even when he never mentioned that Ga Eul could've been in danger, he thought that maybe she had. Maybe, Woo Bin hide it from him. Maybe he was always there that no one could get the opportunity to even get near her because the Don Juan was always there to prevent it. Maybe he never wanted to worry him. Those assumptions could definitely be right as he knew more than anyone that his friend was always like that, hiding things from everyone so they don't worry.
"You never know" he said while getting out of the car.
Opening the door for the country bumpkin, he took her hand and interlocked it with his. So Yi Jeong was going to accompany her. Ga Eul looked at him confused as he began to pull her towards the stairs of the building. Then, she suddenly stopped him right at the entrance.
"So Yi Jeong sunbae" she sounded like a little girl tired. "Is it okay if you accompany me until here?" she asked politely not wanting to sound rude. At first Yi Jeong looked disappointed, but then he understood she was just tired after a long day at school and being in his home. Nodding, he gave a small peck on her forehead and looked into her eyes.
"I love you" he smiled before turning to leave. She smiled back while he walked away. "Me too, Yi Jeong sunbae..." she murmured to herself.
What did you thought about this chapter?
What about Yi Jeong's mother?
Also, I have been watching We Got Married with Kim So Eun and Song Jae Rim as a couple. Have you been watching it? I think they are one of the most cutest and funniest couples of the show besides Hwang Bo and Kim Hyun Joong (Ji Hoo). These two couples know how to crack you up and die of cuteness overdose. I recommend them if you haven't watch any of the two.
