Happy Valentine's Day for everyone who celebrates it! You guys rock with all your support and reviews for Ga Eul's date :-) Since everyone mentioned they would like a sequel for the Protective Power of the F4 I am already working on it. I am hoping to have the first chapter done soon. So here is the final part of this story and I hope you all enjoy!

Ga Eul tried pushing on his chest to get him to back away but Yi Jeong only raised his eyebrows at her. "What are you doing?"

"I'm trying to get out of this closet so I can find Chin Hae and apologize," Ga Eul snapped with another hard shove but she might as well have been moving a boulder for all the good it was doing. "Yi Jeong!"

"Do you honestly think that's going to work?" Yi Jeong pressed his hands further into the wall beside her, leaning his body in closer. "Also, I would tie you to this water pipe before I let you go after that guy."

Ga Eul couldn't think with him so close. The feel of the hard lines of his body under her hands and the intensity of his gaze was making her dizzy. Ga Eul had promised herself not to do this again after the disaster with his father. She had understood why Yi Jeong was so hurt and bitter by the actions of his parents, and she even forgave him for it. However, she was also not the type of girl to keep chasing him like some lovesick fool.

Ga Eul took a deep breath before meeting his eye. "If you don't let me go, I will yell for Woo Bin."

Yi Jeong smirked, "Be my guest."

"So Yi Jeong," Ga Eul yelled exasperated. "This is not funny."

"Who do you think you are talking to Ga Eu Yang," Yi Jeong said sharply. "If you can look me in the eye and tell me you liked having that Li whoever drag you into a loud club and dance with his hands all over you, I will let you go."

"His name was Li Chin Hae," Ga Eul pouted without answering the rest of his question.

"Like I care."

Ga Eul huffed but Yi Jeong knew he had made his point. "See. Now can we move on to what we really need to talk about?"

"Why are you doing this?" Ga Eul demanded to know. "I read you loud and clear last time. I accepted we are just friends and even get why you are so afraid of relationships. That doesn't mean I am going to sit home in my pajamas for the rest of my life Yi Jeong."

He opened his mouth to reply but Ga Eul was too incensed to stop. "I may not have liked where Li Chin Hae picked for our date but he was nice. He was attentive, caring, and even a good kiss- "Ga Eul stopped midsentence as a blush spread over her cheeks and Yi Jeong's face grew stormy. "What did you just say?"

"Nothing."

"He kissed you?" Yi Jeong all but snarled down at her and Ga Eul shook her head frantically. "That's not the point."

"Pretty sure it is," Yi Jeong snapped trying to keep his rage under control, but the image of Ga Eul kissing another guy made him want to break things, specifically Chin Hae's legs. He lowered his arms but didn't move his body away. "Fine. Go after him then."

Ga Eul couldn't take a step. Her feet felt frozen to the floor and her heart was racing. Logically she knew she should go, she should leave him for someone who wouldn't give her heartache but she could not bring herself to actually leave. Li Chin Hae may not break her heart but he would never make her feel like Yi Jeong did either.

She realized she had already made her decision. She had the moment Yi Jeong walked into her porridge shop. He was the only one she wanted. No matter how much she told herself it was a bad idea, her heart didn't care. Maybe it was time to face it and she gave him a pointed stare. "Are you really going to let me go after Chin Hae?"

"No," Yi Jeong said bringing one arm back up over her head. "But I don't see you moving either. So why don't you admit I am right."

"Okay fine. I was having a terrible time. Happy?"

Yi Jeong shrugged, "It's a start."

Ga Eul glared at him before cracking a small smile."You're such an arrogant jerk."

"I know."

They stood quietly with each other until Ga Eul finally spoke softly. "What is this all about Sunbae?" You said you wanted to talk but I don't know what else there is to say. You made your point...You don't do relationships with girls like me."

Yi Jeong rubbed his hand over his hair frustrated. "I don't know. All I know is I didn't handle it well seeing you here with him looking," he gestured to her dress, "like that."

Ga Eul frowned down at her outfit, "I thought you liked it."

"I do like it. So did what's his name and every other guy in there. I just… He trailed off frustrated before shaking his head, "fuck it."

Before she could process what he was trying to say, his mouth covered hers and Yi Jeong yanked her up into his chest.

Ga Eul stumbled at the fierce contact but then her brain shut down and she could only cling to him. His lips were strong on hers and she felt her limbs melting like sugar in the rain. She opened to him and let herself go into the sea of sensations. He softened with her response and slowed his frantic pace. Ga Eul felt his hands cup her face as his tongue teased playfully with hers and she couldn't hold back a moan.

He grinned and deepened the kiss once more before finally pulling back, breathing deeply. "I was always better at showing than telling."

Ga Eul blinked slowly, "Yi Jeong."

"I don't want you dating other guys," Yi Jeong said rubbing his thumb over her red cheek. "I don't want them touching you."

She shook her head, "I-I."

"I especially don't want them to kiss you," Yi Jeong told her bitterly, the image of Chin Hae still in his mind.

"He didn't kiss me like that," Ga Eul mumbled feeling lightheaded.

"Good. Otherwise, Woo Bin would be helping me bury a body tonight." Yi Jeong realized she thought he was kidding by her slight laugh but decided to let it go.

Flustered Ga Eul moved away, desperately trying to gain control over her swarm of emotions. "I hate men. You're so confusing."

He grinned, "that's fair." He grabbed her hand before she could get too far away. "I'm sorry."

"About being confusing or about running off my date before dragging me away somewhere? Which you F4 boys tend to do a lot."

"It saves us time," Yi Jeong teased pushing a curl off her face before sobering. "I am sorry about what happened with my father. I never should have done that to you Ga Eul."

She sighed in defeat. "I know you are. Despite your best impression of a rich playboy, I know you're not deliberately cruel. Plus, your father goaded you into it."

At his surprised expression, Ga Eul touched his cheek briefly. "I can read between the lines Yi Jeong. I know your father has hurt your family. I was upset by your words but I understood why you said them. It's why I came back."

He gave her a puzzled frown. "You came back? When?"

"How do you think you got into bed that night Sunbae?"

Yi Jeong couldn't breathe, "that was you? I just assumed it was Woo Bin or something."

Ga Eul shook her head, "At first, I went back to tell you off but then I saw you there on the ground." She stared at the floor sadly, "I suddenly realized why you were trying so hard to scare me off. I helped you into your bed and left. I decided you had been through enough and I was going to respect your wish for distance. So when Li Chin Hae asked me out a few weeks ago, I said yes."

Yi Jeong closed his eyes bitterly as the emotions flooded over him. He couldn't believe he had screwed this up so badly but he was determined to fix it. "If Woo Bin ever hears about this, he will punch my head in… Make sure I tell him before we leave."

"Sunbae," Ga Eul reprimanded, "that's not funny."

"I'm not kidding," Yi Jeong said quietly. "I deserve to be punched for that night but I didn't realize how much until now." He placed his hands on her waist, "I have a lot of things I need to say to you though. The first thing I should probably tell you, is that I am the biggest mistake you could possibly make but I need you in my life so-"

Ga Eul placed her hand over his mouth stopping him. "You don't have to say it Sunbae, I know. We can still be friends, don't worry."

Realizing she was misunderstanding him, Yi Jeong leaned down with another hard kiss. "Shut up and let me finish."

She looked up at him surprised. "I can't be friends with you," Yi Jeong said firmly. "For one thing we have never been just friends because I have always thought of you as more than that."

That was an understatement, he admitted to himself wryly. She had dug under his skin since the first time he had picked her up at the porridge shop. From the moment Ga Eul had told him off, he couldn't shake her from his brain and his thoughts had never exactly been friendly. Especially with all the times he pictured her naked but decided to keep that part to himself.

"I don't know what you are saying," Ga Eul finally responded. "What am I to you then?"

He gave her his signature grin as he wrapped his arms tight around her waist. "Am I going to have to kiss you again before you get the picture? You are mine now, Ga Eul Yang."

"Oh really?" Ga Eul questioned with a raised eyebrow but her eyes glinted happily at his firm nod. "So, I guess I should tell Li Chin Hae no on a make-up date for tomorrow."

Yi Jeong narrowed his eyes at the text she held up for him to see. "Not unless you want me to personally rip his arms off."

Ga Eul shook her head, "I would rather you didn't." She wrapped her arms around his neck. "I know you are worried about hurting me but I trust you."

Relieved he buried his head into her neck, inhaling her sweet scent. "By the way," Yi Jeong whispered into her skin. "I love this outfit and those heels are killing me but it makes my blood pressure rise. I don't think Woo Bin would appreciate me punching all the guys at his new club for drooling after you."

Ga Eul laughed, "I think you're exaggerating. But I tell you what… I will reserve it for future special occasions."

He pulled back slowly, "such as?"

"Oh, that's a surprise," Ga Eul gave him an impish smile. "However, when I do, it will be a private show only for Yi Jeong."

His eyes darkened but she only moved to push past him. "So, now that we've got this settled, can we go? My feet hurt."

Ga Eul tried her best to maintain her innocent facade but it was spoiled by her squeal when Yi Jeong suddenly bent down and threw her over his shoulder. "I think we have some more things to discuss. We will finish this conversation at my studio."

"Yi Jeong," Ga Eul yelled but couldn't hide her delighted tone. "Put me down."

"You said your feet hurt," Yi Jeong replied as he opened the door, shooting a grin to one of Woo Bin's men who had been standing guard nearby. "Tell Woo Bin, I am taking Ga Eul back to my place for the night."

The man coughed awkwardly, "Uhh, sure thing."

"Yah!" Ga Eul shouted, "He didn't mean it like that! Sunbae!"

Yi Jeong ignored her embarrassed cry and gave his three-fingered wave before walking out the door with Ga Eul slapping his back but he simply shifted her weight and kept on going.

Woo Bin having come down from the lounge upstairs noticed his man's Gyeong's laugh and came up beside him. "Are they still in the closet?"

"No." He pointed out Yi Jeong walking over to his bright orange Lotus fishing for his keys while Ga Eul hung upside down like a sack of flour. "He told me to tell you he was escorting her back to his house. I know you ordered me to keep an eye on her but the lady didn't seem to mind."

Woo Bin shook his head with a smirk as Yi Jeong finally lowered Ga Eul into the car but was pleased to see his friend give her a kiss ending her scolding. "Well, that's one problem solved at least."

He sent a text to Yi Jeong saying he had heard Ga Eul had been kidnapped and should he come to rescue her?

His laughter echoed around the noisy club when Yi Jeong sent a fast reply that he would burn his favorite leather jacket if Woo Bin even thought about it.

He slapped Gyeong's shoulder, "I'm heading home." As he walked to his own car, he felt relieved by the evenings turn of events.

Yi Jeong had finally gotten his head out of the sand and was going to make things work with Ga Eul. Their mess with Gu Jun Pyo and Jan Di may still be there but that was a problem for tomorrow.
