The sun rise to the sky sending the moon to the other side. The stars hide behind the shining rays of the bigger star and it was time for the clouds to make an appearance. The silence that have stood throughout the night was slowly dissipating into the loudness of the cars moving around the streets and the people getting out of their home to work. These were enough to gradually wake the country bumpkin up from sleep. Her eyes weren't still open but she realized she needed to soon.

Suddenly, the door was open and closed with a bang noise. That's when Ga Eul's senses woke right away while her boyfriend groan in anger for someone scaring away his sleep. The only one standing right there could be no other than the monkey, and he knew it very well. Jae Kyung gave a sigh without noticing her friends presence on the couch, leaning against the door with a small smile.

The commoner took a glance at the clock and she came to realize it was morning. "Where were you?" out of nowhere she asked and this made her friend give a little jump scared.

"I was-" pausing, she noticed it wasn't just Ga Eul sitting there but the Casanova. "What is he-?" she was shortly cut off by the country bumpkin.

"I asked first" she stood up in her defense and got close to her friends, who was smelling quite delicious. Yes, her stomach betrayed her with a loud roar at that exact moment.

"I was-" she looked at her and then to Yi Jeong who was still sitting on the couch stretching his arms and giving a big yawn before giving his whole attention to her. "with Woo Bin sunbae" she finally declared.

"All the night?" Ga Eul sounded worry at this, giving herself a mental note that the Don Juan wasn't going to survive this one. It seriously bother her that after just one night of reconciliation they were together. If Woo Bin was considering to have a bright future with Jae Kyung, he needed to take things slowly and not treat her like every girl he has slept with before.

"No" the monkey reassured shaking her head immediately, but the commoner wasn't buying this. "Well, no and yes"

This time Yi Jeong got up and walk towards her a bit confuse too. Knowing his friend since childhood clearly made him an expert on how Woo Bin's rules worked. It was all a one night stand; get the lady, impress her -even though it didn't take much effort since he was an F4- and invite her to some place to stay was all. Then the next day he would just disappear or tell the girl where the door was at. However, Jae Kyung was an exception out of them all. She was absolutely the love of his life. Woo Bin just didn't knew it yet, or didn't want to admit it.

"Explain, monkey" the potter got irritated when she didn't intend to continue the conversation and instead walk pass them to the kitchen. There was no point, because both followed her.

"Well, we- Hey! I don't need to tell you about my life. It's none of your business" she shouted at him but the country bumpkin got offended by this, earning her a serious stare. Yi Jeong just shrugged not caring less and pull out a cellphone from his pocket.

"If you won't, then he'll do" he waited for someone to answer the call while looking as careless as ever. Jae Kyung freaked out and tried to take away the cellphone from his hand, but it was impossible. Ga Eul had join in the fun when she begin to pull her away from her boyfriend.

"Hey" the Casanova begin to speak with someone on the other line, and the monkey's eyes couldn't grow wider. At that moment all of her training sections she took from karate lessons since child and that she thought as a waste finally came in handy. Her head bumped into her friend's forehead so that she could let her free, and it worked. Ga Eul quickly begin to rub her temples while Jae Kyung's knuckles connected to his stomach, making him gasp for air and moving his hands forward. One of her legs moved fast to kick its target and it went successfully as the phone flew across the kitchen to the corridor, smashing itself against the wall. She didn't lose time and quickly enough stomp the mobile to destroy it.

"Yah! That was a limited edition" Yi Jeong cried out.

"And why are you so freaked out to tell us?" the commoner came out of the kitchen to meet her closely, still rubbing her temples.

"Look, I'm sorry, guys. It's just, I don't want to tell you right now, and at the same time I don't want you to be asking him" there was no way to understand what she was trying to say, but they tried to stay away from that subject afterwards.

Even though they wanted to respect her decision, curiosity was killing them slowly and painfully. At one point they tried to decipher her from the expressions given and the mood she was taking everything, but everything seem so normal from her. And by normal it meant being the same crazy person as always. There was nothing different, nothing that could be use as an excuse to ask her what was wrong. The suspense of them getting together grew higher. It had to be that, or else, if they wouldn't have come to a relationship she would already be crying her eyes out. Both knew her well.

After a big breakfast made by no other than the strange Jae Kyung, Yi Jeong was about to leave and Ga Eul needed to grade some homework of their students.

"Oh Ga Eul, I have prepared something special for tomorrow" she winked at her but the country bumpkin didn't have an idea of what the monkey was talking about. Jae Kyung noticed this and sighed annoyed.

"What is tomorrow?" she asked like it was obvious. "Your last day as a single woman" she responded to her own question. Ga Eul just nodded at this while picking up the plates from the table and putting them on the sink. Yi Jeong ignored this and took the last sip from his cup before getting up to leave. A last kiss on the cheek was given to the commoner and the door was soon after open to leave.

"Seriously? You're not going to object about this?" asked a still annoyed monkey to Yi Jeong.

"Enjoy it" that's all he said before closing the door.

"And I thought he was the jealous type" she murmured to herself but return to smile for her victory. No one could stand between her plans now. Yet, there was a problem, and that was Ga Eul. She didn't felt excited nor nervous about it.

"So, what do you think of our ladies night?" she asked casually, standing at the entrance of the kitchen.

"Great" she didn't even bother to look up and just kept washing the dishes. It resulted a bit strange to the monkey, but if Ga Eul wasn't against it then she wasn't going to push it.

"Great. I'll pick you up at 8 tomorrow " she smiled before going towards the door to go. "Oh right, I live here" she then turned around to get inside the room she was staying at. Yet something stopped her; fear invaded her thoughts when realizing what she just said moments ago. Tomorrow was going to be the last day of Ga Eul as a single woman. That could only mean one thing...

Her hand was about to touch the doorknob to her room when she took a glance at her friend's room. It was full of empty boxes waiting to be filled. Lips went down and a sad expression was only reflected on her face when she realized that everyone around was progressing with their lives except her. Indeed, she was rich and had everything at hand, but it still felt like she couldn't accomplish anything for herself. Now here she was, sharing an apartment with a best friend who was about to get married and start a new life along the man she loves while she was still trying to struggle on how to approach the one she let go years ago and being way immature on not talking to her parents.

Taking a deep sigh, she entered the room and locked it behind her. A good sleep was all she needed again to forget the painful reminders that she was stuck in the past.

When the chores were finally over, the country bumpkin was still holding down the curiosity of what happened between their friends. It was intensely killing her inside. A call would be more than enough to know what was going on, but seeing how Jae Kyung was acting it meant something big happened. Also, her voice could be heard through anywhere inside the house, and looking back at how she killed the phone of Yi Jeong, she wanted to have some precautions in case of anything.

Can we meet?. She sent a text message to Woo Bin.

Where?. He immediately replied back, making the commoner smile for how thoughtful and caring he could be.

Same coffee place?. She looked at the coffee shop through the window before opening the door to leave.

Five minutes. That's the time it was going to take him to get there.

Glancing at the last message before having the chance to cross the street, she smiled again and wondered how he spent his time. Though everybody knew about his family and the companies he owned, it was unknown to her what kind of position he held in it.

Shaking the thoughts away, she looked at the sign on the street that was about to change and begin to walk. Another text message came in and she looked down to the screen to check it. Suddenly, a honk begin to sound closet to her and that's when she glanced up to see a car approach, about to hit her. The shock was too much she couldn't move at all. However, her hand was fiercely pulled making her whole self move away from what could have been a catastrophic event.

Soon enough, she was standing on the sidewalk eyes glancing directly into the eyes of the stranger who saved her. One of his hand was around the back, holding her from falling to the ground. Her hands were pressing against his chest while she was still in shock. But after a few seconds, she come to realize the awkward position they were in and pushed back to separate from the close space between them. That's when she remember to gasp for air.

"Thank you so much" she bowed nonstop until she saw a smile coming from him. Ga Eul stopped, wondering why the sudden expression and he noticed but didn't care. The guy kept staring at her very dearly and she found herself very uncomfortable with this.

"Ga Eul?" asked as if he couldn't believe it. She nodded very slowly, not knowing what to say. For a moment she thought that maybe it was someone related to Yi Jeong, or a crazy fan that knew everything about the F4. But that was unlikely, the commoner wasn't well known yet by the whole country for being the Casanova's girlfriend.

Out of nowhere, he stroke her hair as if she was a little kid and smiled even widely. On the other side, Ga Eul was very confused about this and didn't know how to deal with the situation. She didn't wanted to be disrespectful to someone who just happened to save her life, but the guy was crazy, and that couldn't be denied.

"Oh, you don't remember me?" his voice sounded a bit offended yet he was wearing a bright smile. The country bumpkin shook her head cautiously while holding her bag really tight, hoping that Woo Bin would appear any time.

"How could you forget about me, duckling?" he gave her a slight push to her arm, sounding a bit offended.

It didn't take much when she realize who he was. That last word he said made her travel to the past back when she was just eight years old. There was only someone who would call her like that, and it was him. A vague flashback came back to her memories of two young children having fun at the playground of a school. Both were playing a game when some other little ones begin to make fun of her for being ugly. That only friend would come to her rescue in a weird way, but still, he was always there for her.

"Sung Jae?" she couldn't believe it was really him until he nodded vigorously.

"I can't believe it's you" she said and he spun around so she could have a better look at him before giving a small chuckle.

"Wow...it has been-" he didn't know how to finish his sentence when he took a look at Ga Eul.

"-years" she finish it.

"What happened to us?" he said with a joke tone, but it was obvious he was being serious about the question. At least to himself.

Before she could reply back, the phone sent a notification sound making her to look at the next text message sent by Woo Bin. He was growing impatient on how long she has been making him wait. Looking back up now, she felt sorry their meeting had to end this way and so soon.

Her face expression told him everything. "You're in a hurry, I guess?" his smile disappeared to a straight awkward line. She nodded, knowing that an apology wasn't good enough.

"Better get going then" he suggested while pressing his lips, trying to hold back the happiness he felt moments ago. After having second thoughts, she begin to walk away until a hand stopped her.

"Not so fast, duckling" he had a huge devilish grin on his face, and though years past since the last time they met, she could recognize that expression anywhere.

"I saved your life. You owe me" up and down his eyebrows moved as he took a his phone out of the trench coat he was wearing.

"Big time" pressing down some buttons, he came to a stop and took a look at the commoner. "Three wishes"

"Wow...you haven't change a little" she complained, chuckling unbelievable of what he wanted.

"Just say you will grant me three wishes" he was ready to press a button on his phone but she kept quiet.

"Let me help you. I, duckling, promise to grant the wonderful and greatest Sung Jae,who saved my life, three wishes" he moved his hand, signaling her to say it, but she shook her head.

It was very common of him to do this kind of thing. The worst part was the wishes he would ask as a child. They were wild, outrageous and even traumatic at times. Even though that was years ago, she had her doubts on whether he kept on being the same crazy kid from before.

Another text came in and she was in a rush now. Woo Bin was surely very impatient. And Sung Jae wasn't going to let her go easily without making this agreement.

"Fine. I promise to grant you three wishes" she said very fast and was about to go when he stopped her way, again.

"No. Say it like I told you" oh yes, he was still the same boy she used to play with.

"I, Ga Eul-" she was interrupted by a loud cough from him while giving her a serious stare.

"I, duckling, promise to grant the wonderful and greatest Sung Jae, who saved my life, three wishes" a smile grew wide from him as he pressed a button from his phone. Ga Eul's voice came in and repeated the words she just said.

"You record it?" she asked offended.

"Evidence in case I have to sue you for breach of contract" placing carefully the phone back into his pocket, he glanced at her one last time before taking her phone from her hands. She was about to complain but stopped herself.

Suddenly, his phone begin to ring but stopped quickly and that's when he returned back her phone. "There. I have your phone number and you have mine. Call me, duckling. I'm going to be seriously thinking of my first wish" with those last words he turned around to leave, disappearing through the crowd. The country bumpkin gave a small smile before turning away to meet her best friend.


"Finally. What took you so long?" asked very serious while taking a drink of coffee.

"I just had a nice encounter with someone" she looked at the streets through the glass beside their table with a grin that made the Don Juan grow a bit curious about this person she met.

"With who?" he asked noticing a small blush on her cheek. This earn her all his interest on the subject now as he leaned forward on the table.

"Just someone from the past. Maybe you'll meet him someday" at that moment she realized something. That wasn't going to be the last time she'll ever get to see him again. Even when it was clear in the moment they exchanged their phone numbers, the thought never came that someday they will get to talk again, and maybe their next time wasn't that far from happening.

"Him?" once again, his ultra protective brother mode activated as he waited for an immediate answer.

"Yah, don't change the subject" that was with the best she could come up with to avoid talking about Sung Jae, but Woo Bin was confused by this. They haven't started a conversation yet and she was assuring they had change the subject. Before he could say something, she continued.

"We came here to talk about you and Jae Kyung" that was more than sufficient to bring his attention and forget about what they were talking before.

"Yah! That's none of your business" he defended himself and look to the other side, avoiding eye contact. After years of fully getting to know the Don Juan, she could sense he was being shy about it. Also, it was kind of strange yet cute how both have somehow answered the same to her question.

"When it comes to my best friends, it is my business too" she responded, hoping that he could open out.

"Aigo! You and Yi Jeong are seriously meant to be together" all of a sudden he said and this earned him a confused glance until she understood what he meant.

"When did he-" she was about to ask when he didn't wait to answer.

"Not so long ago before you called me" Ga Eul just chuckled at how funny it was that both thought the same thing.

"But seriously, why you want to know so badly?" asked a bit annoyed while leaning back to the chair and drinking a bit more of coffee.

"I'm just worried about you two. I want to know how it all went. Have you fixed everything?" she placed her hand on top of his, waiting for him to look at her in the eyes and tell everything. He did, and heaved a sigh.

"You cannot fix a broken heart, Ga Eul." he begin with looking a bit sad. The commoner's hope were going down.

"But sometimes, they can be glued together" it appear a small smile on his face, and Ga Eul's hope were becoming high, again.

"And when that happens, it becomes fragile yet it can love again. But the person who takes your heart needs to be careful not to break it again, because next time, it won't be possible to glue millions of pieces again" holding tight her hand now, he became really nervous and his legs begin to shake.

"So, you are-" she was about to ask the big question, the one all of his friends were waiting for.

"No, we are not back together" he was wearing a pokerface. She couldn't determine how he was feeling neither know how to react to this news. It resulted weird how both of them seem happy after a night where they were supposed to talk about their future yet they didn't give an opportunity to love.

"But-but I thought that-" Woo Bin interrupted her right away.

"We are going to take things slowly"

Ga Eul couldn't feel more happy at that moment when she let out a small scream of joy which earned her a few stares from the customers and even the employees. She had stand up and raised her arms excited just to awkwardly sit again very slowly. Though they weren't together as a couple, at least they were willing to give each other an opportunity now and that was more than enough for the commoner.

Woo Bin was covering his face with his hand for how embarrassed he was for her reaction, glancing to the other people and shaking his head saying that he doesn't know her. At that very moment she smacked his hand very hard and he could see she was wearing an offended look.

"Yah! You should have started with that. Playing with my emotions isn't funny" she pouted for a second before placing her elbows on top of the table and resting the chin on her hands.

"So tell me, what happened last night?" asked very curious but with a big satisfied smile on her face.

"Well..." he scratched the back of his head awkwardly.


Flashback

"I- I don't how to start" Woo Bin said a bit nervous looking to the ground before he could notice how her legs were shaking for the cold. Taking off his trench coat, he placed it around her, making him be close to her. Eyes looked at each other before he did something out of his usual self; grabbing her hand, he pulled her towards him crashing into a warm embrace.

"I missed this" he finally declared after long seconds of both being quiet. Jae Kyung's eyes opened really big at this, almost getting teary.

There was no denying that neither of them didn't want to break from the embrace, but as the night advanced, the cold got worse. Suddenly, her stomach growl and he heard it. She felt really embarrassed at this since it was not the right time to be hungry. But the unexpected happened as he grabbed her hand pulled her towards the place they had recently eat. It was very late and most customers had left, so it was almost only them. They order food right away and as they waited a silence stood by for a couple of minutes.

"Jae Kyung" he grabbed her attention and look at him in the eyes. She was sitting on the other side of the table. "Since you left, I had a million reasons to dislike you and never want to see you again" he heaved a sigh. She nodded slowly at this, knowing he was in all his right to be feel that way.

"But throughout all these years with your absence, there was a reason more powerful than the others, that even though I tried to erase away, it held me back from using those million reasons" he looked at her really serious, wondering how he got to this point where he was finally saying what he have been hiding for so long.

"It's love" Jae Kyung's head raised, very surprised to hear a different thing that she had expect him to say. "Loving you made those reasons not good enough"

"Woo Bin sunbae" she didn't know what to say. Never in her life would she had expect something like this, and even less from him. She had live thinking he must have been hating her, but knowing how he truly felt just made her feel more guilty than ever.

"Now, even though I hold these feelings for you, I don't know if we will ever get to have another chance" for the first ever Woo Bin was scared of something, and that something was to love again someone who broke his heart. He could understand now all those girls who he would crash their hopes with him. No one should ever feel like that- all vulnerable and abandoned.

"Sorry. I really am" her eyes became all teary. This was the only thing that could make her cry at this point. There was nothing more important than the love she was feeling for him. "I was just confused and scared. I had my life planned thinking that I was going to marry the right man, and before you know it, everything change. I was happy because that marriage wasn't really what I wanted, but still I felt alone, wondering If love wasn't meant for me. So, I'm really sorry I ran away,) because now I got know really late that I was actually hiding from love when it was seeking for me, and I guess it got tired to looking for me" she couldn't hold back her tears any longer and begin to cry really hard.

Woo Bin felt sad for her. He never liked to her this way. Slowly, he grabbed her hand and held it tight to let her know he was there for her. This made her calm down a bit but the tears still kept coming out.

"I forgive you" these words shock her immediately. After years of being constantly battling against her guilt, there was a sudden peace inside of her that she hadn't feel in a long time. Finally, she was relief to hear the words she most hoped for.

"Does that mean that-" she was about to ask something when he interrupted her.

"I want to be friends for now. You know, take things slowly" it surprised her to listen to him talk like this. He was sure acting mature now, and even though she wasn't comfortable with that suggestion, it was better than to be nothing.

Jae Kyung nodded with a small grin before the meat arrived, and a can of beer. She looked at it almost drooling and glanced to see Woo Bin smiling and inviting her to eat first. The food didn't last that long and all of it mostly went into her mouth. The Don Juan couldn't believe her apetite but it was still adorable to him how a girl could eat that much in just seconds and look all satisfied. After that, she didn't wait much to drink when the beers started to come in. Each and every single one of them was drink after a toast from her. Woo Bin was holding the same beer since they got there while she forgot the count.

After a while, it was more than obvious she was highly drunk. Her eyes couldn't even open up, her words didn't come out correctly often making her annoyed by how the Don Juan wouldn't understand a single word from her mouth. The place was about to close so the owner asked them nicely to leave.

Woo Bin didn't know what to do with her. It was too late and everyone was far asleep. Jae Kyung was already getting inside his car making loud noises as if she was in a race car. He tried to call some his friends for help but none answered. Ga Eul and Geum Jan Di shouldn't have been different from them so he decided not to call. Without further plan, he had no choice but to take her with him.

After twenty minutes to get to his own mansion and fifty exhaustive stairs of carrying a drunk girl on his back, he was finally in his room. Putting down nicely the monkey on the bed, he took a moment to admire and touch her face. He was about to leave when a sudden hand went around his neck and pushed him forward to her face. Their lips smashed into a kiss and before he know it, she was giving more action. He was about to follow his instinct when his eyes opened up and remembered the state she was in. It wasn't fair at all. Jae Kyung wasn't in her right senses at all. Pushing himself from the girl, she held tight until being too tired to fight back. Sliding a blanket on top of her, he turned off the lights and left to sleep somewhere else.

End of flashback


"Yah!" the country bumpkin hit him on the arm very hard and he flinched. "I hope that's the true story and you didn't get all perv with her"

"Ga Eul yang, you are really offending me. I'm a man of true values" he said in his defense, pressing his hand against his chest to make it more dramatic.

After a few seconds they both shared a smile before finishing their coffee. At least she knew the story behind it all now. The only thing she hoped that they wouldn't wait too much to get together. However, she had to admit to herself it was mature decision on his part to wait and let things go by slowly.

"Well, I have to go. I have a work meeting" he emphasized the word 'meeting' even though he was obviously sure Ga Eul didn't know what it was about. She just nodded before he stood up, paid for the coffees and left her all alone.

Suddenly, by coincidence her phone begin to ring and she took it out to see who might be calling. The call was from an unknown private number, and this were the kind of one's that got her annoyed. Deciding whether to answer or not, it was too late when the call stopped. But seconds later the same unknown private number call in.

"Hello?" she answered.

Nothing. Silence. Then, she heard someone's breathing.

"Don't... get...married" the call ended right away.
