"Everything we would need is here. Watch closely. Okay?" said Yi Jeong.
Ga Eul didn't get the chance to respond because he had entered the zone. They had just set foot in his wonderland.
"We'd definitely need absorbent cotton towels. Oh, look, chamois." He turned to her. "These are used for compressing the upper edges of thrown ware."
She suppressed a smile. Despite the occasional explanation of the purpose or history behind certain tools, this hunt seemed more for Yi Jeong's enjoyment than for her education in pottery.
"We would need needles, cut-off wires, fettling knives, ribs, and scrapers. These help shape and smooth pots as they're forming."
"Would I be needing them for our next class?"
"These? No. It's way too soon. There's time. You'll get there. Sponges, brushes, ooh calipers."
This all started a week ago. The day after returning from the ski trip, they were discussing the next item on her list: a trip without any electronics.
It turned out that Ji Hoo Sunbae owned a small cabin, a little outside the city: perfect for camping. After a longer discussion with all the F4 members, they picked today's day for preparations. Of course, if Yi Jeong had his way, they'd be here till sundown. For the past hour, they'd done nothing but shop for pottery tools.
"Yi Jeong… we were assigned food."
"It won't take long to buy food. Besides, just because we're going on this trip doesn't mean we get a break from pottery. Pottery can't be mastered in a day. It's art. The skill is acquired by continuous effort and perspiration."
Before she could protest, he'd moved on to the next item.
Maybe they should've listened to Woo Bin Sunbae and just raiding their home fridges.
Hopefully, the others were having better luck.
_oOo_
Today was not Jan Di's day. It had already been an hour, and they'd made zero progress.
"Gu Jun Pyo, we already have eight romance novels. We're only spending the weekend."
"But these will come in handy. We can read them whenever we want." Jun Pyo continued to add more books to the bag.
"Put that down. The main characters cried all throughout that book."
"But Jan Di-ah."
She shuffled through the F4 novel collection, looking for something that wouldn't make the group's ears bleed. "How about this one? It's a horror story. It'll go perfectly with the atmosphere."
"How about this one?"
"Really, Jun Pyo? We've read that three times."
"It was so beautiful. The guy went through so much effort to help the girl find her necklace. It reaffirms my faith in love."
"He had known her for two hours. That doesn't even make any sense."
"It has a happy ending. I like happy endings."
She kissed his cheeks. No matter how ridiculous some of Jun Pyo's ideas were, he was pure. As strange as it may sound, the future heir to Shinwa made her crazy life normal. He made putting up with all his musings worth the trouble.
_oOo_
"Let's see. We'll need six sleeping bags. Six tents. Oh, right, we should get different colors so it'll be easy to tell them apart. What else?" asked Woo Bin.
"I've got the rest," replied Ji Hoo with satisfaction.
"Why on earth would we need so many pillows? There are only six of us. You got like twenty."
"What if we decide to have a pillow fight? Or we feel like sleeping under a tree or stargazing?"
"In that case, we should pack twelve more sleeping bags as well. What if the ones we have get eaten by bears?"
"Nonsense. It'll be heavy and very difficult to carry."
"Oh, Yoon Ji Hoo. Of all the things, they had to assign sleeping arrangements to you. To make things better, you had to be my partner."
"Just push the cart," said Ji Hoo while adding six more pillows.
_oOo_
"I think I'm done. Let's head towards the food section," said Yi Jeong. He skimmed through the shelves. "How much food do you think we'll need that'll last three days and feed six people?"
It didn't look like Ga Eul heard. She seemed laser-focused on the task at hand. She ran from aisle to aisle, filling the cart, hardly sparing him a glance.
"Bread. Check. Pasta, check. Look at how fresh this bacon is. I love this store," she said, her arms laden with groceries.
"You sure you don't need any help?"
"No. I can handle it."
She dropped everything into the cart, freeing her arms. Somehow, nothing fell.
_oOo_
Jan Di checked the bag. This worked. Now they had one romance, one sci-fi, one thriller, one horror, and one comedy.
"You'll still let me read the rest to you on date night, right?" asked Jun Pyo.
"Yes. Now, let's meet up with the others."
_oOo_
"Food check. CDs check. Sleeping arrangements… Ji Hoo Sunbae?" said Jan Di while eyeing the two dozen pillows in the cart.
"I already explained it to Woo Bin. Don't make me go through that again."
"Now that you mention it, where is Woo Bin Sunbae?" asked Jan Di while everyone looked around.
"He said that he needed to use the bathroom, but he should have been back by now," said Ji Hoo.
_oOo_
"You see this picture? This is a Lotus Elite. It's neon orange. You can easily spot it. You know what to do?" asked Woo Bin.
"Yes, Young Master Song."
_oOo_
"Woo Bin, where the hell were you yesterday? We searched everywhere," said Yi Jeong.
"Sorry. Got a call from Gran. But I'm here now." He opened his car door. "You take Ga Eul. I'll go with Ji Hoo."
"Try to stay close. Traffic's really bad today."
They all got into their respective cars and drove off.
_oOo_
"Can you take a picture of us, please?" Jun Pyo requested the florist as he handed her his camera.
"Jun Pyo, we're already far behind the others," said Jan Di with a crooked smile. This was one of the few times when she didn't have much against Jun Pyo's ideas. It felt nice to spend some time with him when he wasn't acting crazy.
_oOo_
Ga Eul scanned the rest stop. "How are we the only ones here? Woo Bin Sunbae was ahead of us. Did he come and leave already? Why didn't he wait?
"It's hard to tell with him. Maybe he thinks this is some sort of car race."
Without sparing Woo Bin's behavior another thought, he continued eating. He'd known Woo Bin far too long to waste time deciphering the reasons behind his actions.
Ga Eul wiped her mouth with a napkin. "Ready to go?"
Nodding, Yi Jeong walked to their car. "That's odd." He tried inserting his key again, but the car wouldn't budge. He tried a few more times with no success. "Let me call Woo Bin."
"Yi Jeong, my man. What's wrong?"
"My car broke down. Can your men send me another one?"
"Really? Where?"
"At the rest stop."
"Sorry, bro. I'll tell Il Shin to send you a car as soon as possible. But it might take at least two hours. They had some urgent business to take care of. Until then, why don't you hang out? I heard there's this house that's rumored to be haunted. You should check it out."
"That could be kind of fun."
"Yeah. It's huge. Like really big. Think Shinwa mansion big. Just scarier and less rom-com movies. It's a popular tourist attraction. Continue walking straight. You'll see it."
"I guess. Where are you right now?"
"About two hours from the rest stop."
"Jun Pyo?"
"He's like an hour and a half away."
"We're the last ones?"
"No. I meant an hour and a half behind you guys."
"Stop speeding," said Ji Hoo.
"Do you want to drive?" He turned back to Yi Jeong. "Ji Hoo's being annoying. I'll call you later."
"So?" asked Ga Eul.
"It'll take a while. But apparently there's this haunted house we can check out. What do you say?"
"I guess that's okay."
"If we continue walking straight, we'll see it."
An hour passed, but there was still no haunted house in sight.
"Did Woo Bin Sunbae say how far this place was?"
"All he said was continue walking straight. Which we have been doing. For like a mile. My feet are killing me. These shoes are not made for walking such long distances."
"It's okay. We're probably almost there."
"I think that's it. It has broken windows and stuff."
"You sure you want to go in? We don't have to if you don't want to."
"We've come this far. It can't be that bad." She gave him a small smile.
"Okay then." Yi Jeong offered his hand. "It's a big place. We wouldn't want to get separated."
_oOo_
Ignoring Ji Hoo's rude looks, Woo Bin focused on his phone call. "Jae, you still there?"
"Yeah. Sorry, I went under a tunnel. So, the car plan worked?"
"Yep. And I sent them to this haunted house near the rest stop."
"There's a haunted house over there?"
"Not exactly. It's a three-mile walk. Just think about it. Isn't it romantic? A long walk with the sun shining upon them. A warm breeze blowing through Ga Eul's hair. At least that's what was going on in one of the movies Jun Pyo was watching.
_oOo_
"Ga Eul clutched Yi Jeong's hand.
"Ready."
He pushed open the creaky door. As soon as they entered, it snapped shut behind them. She tightened her grip.
"It's probably the wind." Yi Jeong hoped his voice didn't betray his fear.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
The place was a dim, dusty maze. The windows kept thrashing against the hinges. He couldn't go two minutes without a cobweb falling on him or wooden dolls popping out at any random turn. The worst part? This creepy painting of a young girl. Wherever he went, her eyes followed.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Yi Jeong pulled Ga Eul closer. The dripping sound kept getting louder, but there was no tap in sight.
"Look at that." She pointed to the only piece of furniture in the room: an old chair rocking back and forth. "Let's go check it out. Maybe there's a battery or power source."
"Ga Eul, wait—"
The lights went out. He stumbled around in the dark searching for her, but slipped on something slippery and slid away.
_oOo_
"A haunted house? Simple but elegant. I like it," said Jae.
"I know, right? A spooky, haunted house will keep them together. Give rise to protective instincts," said Woo Bin.
"When Ga Eul gets scared, she'll grab Yi Jeong's arm. Hide her face in his shoulder. The possibilities are endless."
"Being the wuss he is, it'll probably be the other way around."
"I thought horror movies didn't faze him."
"True. But this will. I've made sure of it."
_oOo_
Yi Jeong's screams pierced through the walls.
Turning on her phone flashlight, Ga Eul followed the sound. "Yi Jeong! Where are you? Can you hear me?"
Why did they ever come here? God only knew if he was safe. She aimed the light in every direction until she spotted a shadow on the opposite corner. Bracing herself, she crept towards it. Please let that be Yi Jeong.
Her silent prayer was answered. She found Yi Jeong standing in front of a concave mirror.
"For a moment, I thought that I actually looked like that," he said, pointing at his much fatter reflection. His other hand was on his chest, trying to control his erratic breathing.
"You scared the hell out of me."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Let's get out of here. I think I saw an exit somewhere over there."
As soon as they located the exit, they dashed out of there. They didn't stop until reaching the rest stop, where Il Shin stood waiting with a shiny blue car.
"Hello. Young Master Yi Jeong. Miss Ga Eul."
"Thank You. And sorry to be a bother," said Yi Jeong.
Il shin bowed his head and left.
"That Woo Bin. From what angle did that look like a tourist attraction?"
Yi Jeong tried his number seven times, but each time it was busy.
"We should get back to driving. I'll murder him later," said Yi Jeong.
After a few hours, they arrived at their destination. The view from the hilltop was incredible. He had forgotten how beautiful this place was. Nothing but greenery spread for miles and miles underneath a beautiful, clear sky. Everything was so serene and ethereal. Until Woo Bin's dumb face came into view.
"Song Woo Bin." Yi Jeong marched towards him. "What the hell was that?"
"Quiet down. Ji Hoo just set up his tent. He's exhausted. Don't ruin his nap."
"The place you sent us to. We didn't see any other tourists. Why would we? There's no way that was a tourist attraction."
"When did I say that? All I said was that there's a haunted house. It sounds cool, and maybe, and that's if, and only if, you wanted to, you could check it out."
Yi Jeong shoved him.
_oOo_
Two hours later, the Gu-Geum couple arrived with big smiles plastered on their faces.
"How about you guys go freshen up while the rest of us set up the bonfire?" said Ga Eul.
"Sure. We'll meet you guys in about ten minutes," said Jan Di.
Woo Bin walked over to Yi Jeong. "What are you doing just sitting there? Don't you know how to start a fire? Hand me those rocks."
Despite thirteen years of friendship, Yi Jeong's uncanny ability to self-sabotage remained an enigma. Both Woo Bin and Jae were working overtime for Yi Jeong's future. But here he was, shamelessly displaying his lack of manly abilities.
That is no way to impress a woman.
"Woo Bin. You know what? Never mind. Here." He surrendered the rocks.
Woo Bin rubbed the rocks together with no success. After ten minutes, the only thing he managed was to crumple them to bits.
Ga Eul bent down next to him. "Sunbae, a trip without electronics doesn't mean we've to live like cavemen. We brought a lighter with us." She gathered the wood and lit the fire.
"Oh. I see. I knew that. Thanks anyway."
"Oh, you knew that?" said Yi Jeong.
Before Woo Bin could respond, Jan Di and Jun Pyo emerged from his tent.
"The fire's ready."
The group circled the bonfire, crackling in the still night.
"What's next?" asked Woo Bin.
"What else? Story time. Who wants to start?" asked Jan Di.
"I'll go," said Jun Pyo. He cleared his throat and took a deep breath. "What better story than one that'll bring you girls closer to the F4. This is the story of the ghost of the attic."
"The ghost of what?" asked the girls.
"Listen carefully to every word I say." Jun Pyo tried his best to sound frightening. "Years ago, we had this maid. A beautiful woman with long, shiny black hair and a sad smile." He sprung towards the girls. "Why sad, you ask? Because of the constant fights with her husband. On a still night, if you listened closely, you could hear the silent whispers of her sobs. Until one day, it stopped."
"Wait. Wait. Wait. Let me stop you right there. Why ghost of the attic?" asked Jan Di.
"Because the attic was where her room was. Now, no interruptions," said Jun Pyo. "For years, we thought she'd resigned. But one fateful day, when we were jumping on the sofa next to the attic, we heard a noise. An unmistakable sob came from the attic. Fearlessly, I pushed the door open. Standing in front of us was the ghost of the attic! Death had been rather unkind to her. Her face was scratched all over. Her once slick and shiny hair now looked dead. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her nails were long and untrimmed."
"I see," said Jan Di.
"That's not all. I saw her recently. She had chopped her hair off and was smiling. A wide, wicked smile. Maybe she wanted to suck the happiness out of me." Jun Pyo held his chin high. "So I went in my room and locked the door."
That statement earned Woo Bin a glare from Yi Jeong. "What. You heard the man. It was the ghost."
"How about Ga Eul and I go next," said Jan Di.
"When we were around eight or nine, we lived in this old community by a national park. Many times we'd hear stories about spirits roaming around the park at night, hoping to fulfill their unfinished businesses." Jan Di shone a flashlight in her face. "We always laughed at such rumors."
"Jan Di-ah, why would you live in such a place?" Jun Pyo wrapped the blanket tighter.
"Let her continue," said Woo Bin.
"As Jan Di said, we laughed at people who said such things. But one fateful summer night, everything changed. Exams were over, and our parents were out of town. Neither of us felt like going home. At around midnight, we snuck out to the swing at the back of the building, near the wall that separated us from the national park."
"We kept swinging higher and higher. Until it broke. We ran away, hoping no one caught us. When we came back the next day, it was fixed." Jan Di paused for effect. "No one had heard or seen anyone fix it. Some say that the spirit of a little girl who loved swinging did it. Others say it was the spirit of a young woman who was studying to be a mechanic."
"Whoever it was, we never questioned the spirits of the national park again," said Ga Eul.
"Look everyone," said Jan Di.
Their shrieks reverberated through the air.
She giggled. "All I was going to say was that Ji Hoo Sunbae's awake."
Yi Jeong fixed his collar. "We knew that."
"Totally," said Woo Bin. "We just screamed for effect."
Ga Eul shook her head. "Let's all head to bed. It's been a long day. Sleep well, guys."
_oOo_
Woo Bin headed towards the picnic table for breakfast. Luckily, since Jan Di was there with Jun Pyo, the food was edible. At least the majority of it was.
"Look, I made cookies," said Jun Pyo.
As soon as he opened the container, Woo Bin looked away, battling the urge to throw up. Calling those cookies a bunch of rocks with moss growing on them would be an understatement.
"We're kind of full. We'll eat them later," said Yi Jeong.
"Yes, we'll have some later," everyone repeated.
"Let's start the first activity," said Jan Di.
Thankfully, that distracted Jun Pyo.
Everyone sat in a circle and immediately turned their attention towards Jan Di as she explained the rules.
"The chosen players have to say at least one good thing and one bad thing about everyone else. And no one is allowed to react or complain. The rest of the players will participate in a different game. Simple enough?"
"Yeah Jan Di-ah. Let's start."
Ga Eul picked out three names from a bowl. "Jan Di, Woo Bin Sunbae, and Jun Pyo Sunbae."
"I'll go first," said Jan Di. "Jun Pyo loves with all his heart. But sometimes, he can be overly romantic. Above the levels of normalcy." She turned to Woo Bin. "Woo Bin Sunbae, in a lot of ways, is a remarkable friend. The kind you can always depend on. He'll come rushing to save you without a second thought. Even at 3 a.m. But at times, his jokes get a little out of hand."
"I'm touched," said Woo Bin. "Coming from you. That's practically gushing."
"Don't ruin it. Now, Ji Hoo Sunbae. He understands everyone in the group really well. And when I say this, I know that I speak for everyone, so to avoid repetitions, he sleeps way too much. Who is left? Yes, my Ga Eul. She's the one person I can always rely on. Although she does not have the heart to shoo away weirdos. And Yi Jeong Sunbae is immensely talented, but his obsession with his looks is unhealthy."
Jun Pyo went next. "Ji Hoo is the truest friend anyone could ask for. I don't think any of us has to repeat the bad thing. Woo Bin. I admire your bad-ass qualities, but you didn't come to rescue me from the ghost of the attic that day. Ga Eul, you always believed in Jan Di and me. You believe in people, but you take Jan Di's time away from me. Jan Di. She's the love of my life. And that'll be all… she's perfect. I've got nothing bad to say about her."
"You have to," said Woo Bin.
"It's okay, Jun Pyo. I don't mind."
"No. All the books say: don't say stuff like that to your girl. Especially in public."
"Fine, tell her privately, later," said Yi Jeong.
"My turn," said Woo Bin. "Ga Eul, the good thing about you is that you manage to tolerate Yi Jeong."
"Hey! I'm very pleasant."
"Yi Jeong Sunbae, remember the rules. No complaining, no matter what anyone says," said Jan Di.
"Moving on. The bad thing is you feel awkward really easily."
He remembered their little talk during the ski trip.
"Jan Di, you keep Jun Pyo in line, but your spin kicks hurt. Ji Hoo, you're the wise one in the group. Jun Pyo, your best quality is that you have the innocence of a child. The bad thing about you is you have the innocence of a child. Yi Jeong, you're a wuss, but you're one of the nicest people I know, and I'm glad you're in my life."
"I'm not a wuss."
Woo Bin grinned. "Remember the rules, Yi Jeong."
"Guess everyone's had their turn. How about we move on to laser tag?" asked Jan Di.
Ga Eul got up from her seat. "Everyone's brought their costumes, right?"
Jan Di, Yi Jeong, and Jun Pyo nodded.
"I'm making mine," said Ji Hoo. "You're all gonna love it."
"Costumes? We were supposed to bring costumes?" asked Woo Bin. Nobody told him anything.
"You didn't find one in the bathroom?" said Ji Hoo with a smirk.
"You have no idea what games are planned? Didn't Ji Hoo Sunbae tell you?" asked Ga Eul.
"Sticky card?" asked Woo Bin.
"What's that?"
"It's really awesome. You place a card on your lips, and without using your hands, you pass it onto the lips of the person sitting next to you. And you've gotta make sure the card is really stuck. Try to create suction, you know."
The plan was solid. It would definitely help with mission SoEul. No matter how crass Jae found the game.
"Woo Bin Sunbae."
"Woo Bin."
"We. Are. Not. Playing. That."
"The plan—" said Jan Di.
Yi Jeong covered her mouth before she could finish her sentence. "Will be a surprise for you."
_oOo_
The teams for laser tag were Jan Di and Ji Hoo, Ga Eul and Woo Bin, and Yi Jeong and Jun Pyo.
"I'll miss you, Jan Di-ah," said Jun Pyo.
"See you on the battlefield, sweetheart," replied Jan Di.
Everyone got their gear and guns and then went to their partner.
"Ga Eul, we're going to kick some ass," said Woo Bin.
"Let's hope so."
As soon as Mr. Young blew the whistle, Yi Jeong and Jun Pyo snuck behind a huge boulder.
"We've a bit of a problem," said Jun Pyo.
"Just hold it in."
"It's not that. I can't shoot Jan Di."
"These aren't real guns," said Yi Jeong.
"Still. I can go for the others."
Just then, Yi Jeong and Jun Pyo received their first shot. Before they could see who it was, the culprits hid themselves.
_oOo_
Peaking her head out from behind the bush, Ga Eul spotted Ji Hoo and Jan Di on a tree and aimed at them. But they jumped down and managed to escape. However, Woo Bin Sunbae successfully shot both Yi Jeong and Jun Pyo Sunbae.
"Yes! We're on fire!" said Ga Eul.
"How's the porridge shop coming along?"
"Fine, the other day we had fifteen customers. That was a first."
He scooted closer. "Hey, you wanna play a game?"
"Sure."
"It's like the first thing that comes to mind quiz game. Helps people bond and stuff."
She nodded. It seemed kind of interesting.
"For the first couple of questions, all you have to say is true or false."
"Alright." Ga Eul signaled him to come along. It was time to change hiding places.
Once they found a new spot, he took out a neatly folded piece of paper and opened it. "Have you had sex with over two hundred women?"
"Excuse me?"
"Sorry, wrong quiz." He put that piece of paper back in his pocket and took out another one. He also took out a red pen. "Have you ever failed a class?"
"No, I mean, false."
He scribbled something on the paper. "Intelligence is the most important quality in a man?"
"False."
"A guy should always, always pay for the dates?"
"False. Look out!" Her warning came too late; Jan Di had managed to shoot them.
"Cheating is alright?"
"Of course not. False"
"The brand of a shampoo doesn't matter that much?"
"True."
Woo Bin Sunbae put a red cross next to that question. "It's alright to gain weight after you have landed a guy?"
"It's not about landing a guy. You shouldn't—"
"It's just a true or false question."
She wasn't entirely sure what he was planning. Or what he was writing down on that piece of paper. He was a peculiar guy. It was best to play along. For now.
"True, I guess."
He made another cross next to that question. "Up until now, you have had at least twenty boyfriends."
"I'm eighteen. How is that even possible?"
"I'll take that as false. Now, here are some multiple choice questions."
"I think we should just focus on the game. We've been shot twelve times already."
"But things are just getting interesting."
She sighed. A little part of her wanted to know where he'd take this. "Fine, what's the next question?"
"Your first relationship ended because:
a. You got bored.
b. You cheated—"
"I did what?"
"Let me finish." He said. "c. He wasn't manly enough.
d. He cheated.
e. Other reasons.
If so, what?"
"Other reasons."
"Like?"
"Next question."
"You can tell me later. A guy who cares about his looks is:
a. A narcissist.
b. Hot.
c. Gay—"
She crossed her arms. "Now that's just offensive."
"Sorry, hear the other ones out.
d. Your dream guy."
"None of these."
"That's not in the options."
She glared at him.
"I'll create that option just this once, okay? A guy who gets attention from a lot of women:
a. Deserves to be kicked in his man business.
b. Is an ideal boyfriend.
c. Should be tied to a bed and whipped with a chainsaw.
d. Not to be blamed.
e. Who cares because Woo Bin Sunbae is so sexy."
Ga Eul ignored how bizarre some options were. Commenting on it would just waste her energy.
Every other team took six shots at them.
"We're up to nineteen shots!"
"Answer, and I'll be out of your hair."
"Is not to be blamed. As long as he doesn't flirt back when he's in a relationship."
"Arrange these in order of importance in a relationship—time, romance, physical stuff, trust, important deep conversation, hanging out, flirting."
"Trust, time, hanging out, important deep conversations, romance, physical stuff, flirting."
"Hanging out is important to you?"
"It helps keep the friendship alive. If, throughout the relationship, your friendship is unbreakable, there's a higher chance it'll last."
"Interesting." He made a few notes. "Arrange these in order of importance in your life—love, work, family, friends, me time, entertainment, money, pride."
"Me time—"
"Me time's your first one? How come?"
"The first person you should love is yourself. That doesn't mean that others aren't important. But if you don't treasure who you are, how can you expect that someone else will?"
"I guess that's true… go on."
"After me time comes love, family, friends, pride, work, money, and entertainment."
"We're probably all the entertainment you need."
"Yes, you are."
"Thank you."
"That wasn't necessarily a compliment."
He schooled his features. "This is a short answer question. Do you think that a guy with a shaky, bad relationship should not be given another chance? Defend your answer."
_oOo_
"I'm so proud of Jan Di. She managed to shoot everyone without taking a single hit. And you know the best part?" Jun Pyo looked at Yi Jeong. "You listening?"
"Yeah. Go on."
"She hasn't taken a single shot at me. Underneath all that pretense, hides a romantic."
"Great."
"I think we've to change places now," said Jun Pyo.
Yi Jeong was far too busy observing Ga Eul to pay Jun Pyo much attention. With every passing moment, her facial expressions were turning more and more perplexed? Or pissed? It was hard to tell from here. But she looked unhappy.
What was Woo Bin saying to her? He could get a little out of line sometimes. Yi Jeong was used to it. But a sweet, simple girl like Ga Eul might feel uncomfortable.
"Yi Jeong, let's move."
_oOo_
"I don't think someone's past defines who they are. People change. Circumstances change. Only because they had a shaky relationship in the past doesn't necessarily mean they can't have a successful one in the present."
"Nice." He smiled brightly.
"Now for your essay question: what are your views on wussism?"
Some of the questions were weird. Some were downright offensive. Others were invasive, but this one was just plain confusing. Luckily, Jun Pyo Sunbae rescued her by successfully taking six shots at them.
"Young Master Song, your team is out," said Mr. Young.
"See you later, Sunbae," said Ga Eul while making her way to stand next to Mr. Young.
About fifteen minutes later, Yi Jeong's team was out. Jan Di and Ji Hoo Sunbae won the game, although by a narrow margin.
Author's note: Hi guys, sorry for such a long chapter but there was just too many events planned. We hope you enjoyed this chapter, tell us in the reviews. Remember to stay awesome!
