RINGGGGGGGGGG

Yi Jung groaned as he hit the snooze button on his alarm clock. But the ringing continued to disturb his sleep. Yi Jung was feeling ill, and with a huge headache, he was in no mood to be awakened by his alarm clock so soon. He continued to pound the snooze button, but the ringing didn't stop. Yi Jung shot his eyes open with anger, finding no other solution, Yi Jung forced himself up and unplugged his clock, but the sound still continued. Marching in anger, Yi Jung walks up to his window and opened it, and with forced throws it out in a quick push as the hard wind hit his chest, causing him to shiver and the shut the window. With the alarm clock gone, Yi Jung took a deep breath.

RINGGGGGGGGGG

The sound was echoing in his room again, frustrated Yi Jung's eyes fell upon his side table as he saw the tone was actually coming from his phone. 'Maybe I should change my ringtone from the tone of my alarm clock…' Brushing those thoughts away, Yi Jung sniffled before answering the call.

"Hello?"

"Hello? Yo, Yi Jung you still sleeping?"

"Woo Bin you better tell me why you are calling at this time, before I send Sweden people over there and force them to make you memorize the timing here and remind you that the time is different then in Seoul!"

"Alright bro, calm down. I am sorry, I forgot."

Yi Jung rolled his eyes, as he lay back down on his bed, bringing his blanket to his chest. "So why did you call?"

"I am having a Christmas and New Year's party this year, and as always, all the F4 have to be there!"

"When are you having it?"

"This coming Thursday…"

Yi Jung's eyes widened, "Yeah! You are telling me now? It is Tuesday here. That only gives me two days to get there!"

"So, it won't be hard for you, I can send over Jun Pyo's private jet and…"

"No Woo Bin, I don't think I can make it. I was already planning to rest this week, I have already called off at school here and well I am not feeling well and just want to be alone-"

"I knew you would become stubborn, but don't worry I know how to change your mind. No matter what you say, I will see you here for Christmas and New Year's Eve. Alright bye!"

"Wait. Woo Bin! I said...No!" There was a tone heard on the other line, Yi Jung shut his phone and threw it back on the side table. He knew his friend but even now he was just too tired, and even though he had to make up a good reason to stay in bed as much as possible, Yi Jung shut his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

3 Hours later…

RINGGGGGGGGGG

"Aish!" Yi Jung groaned as he reached for his phone and picked it up without looking at the caller ID. "Yah! Woo Bin I said I was not coming!"

"Yi Jung sundae…" Oh, that angel like voice, how he never missed to recognize it and how it made him calm down instantly.

"Ga Eul. How are you?"

"Am I bothering you?"

"No...No way. Why would you think that?"

"You sounded like it. If you are busy I can call back later-"

"No. I am not busy, please say what you need to." Yi Jung knew only sometimes he got a chance to hear her voice and nothing in the world would make him end the call.

"Sunbae, I have a question for you…"

"What is your question?"

"Can you open your door?"

"Huh? Why?"

"Just open it."

Yi Jung forced himself out of bed, the cold wooden floor made him shiver, as he approached the room's door, living it open he walked up to the front door to his suite room. Taking a quick glance at the figure in front of him and then turned around, "Yah, Ga Eul why did you want me to open my door-" getting his senses in the right place, Yi Jung instantly turned back around and looked at the figure with the green pea coat on and a white puffy hat on her beautiful long black hair, that fell below her shoulders. Yi Jung was left with a hanging jaw and a feeling of deja vu "G-Ga Eul…"

"Hello sunbae..."

Yi Jung's lips crept upwards into a grin as he approached her and gave her a big hug. Unfortunately their phones were still on and a loud beep was heard, forcing them to break the hug. They both end the call and can't help but look into each other's eyes as if the world had stopped that moment. Before Yi Jung could even investigate to why or how Ga Eul was here, his phone began to ring.

"Yo bro! Like my early present." Yi Jung turned around and whispered into his phone.

"Yah, you bastard! Why did you send Ga Eul all the way here?"

"Haha! You are so clueless bro. One I wanted to surprise you, so you can spend one day alone with Ga Eul and two she will bring you back with her to Seoul since you were being stubborn"

"Yah! She isn't my wife, how can you even send her here alone? Do her parents know?"

"Hey calm down. Ga Eul didn't mind coming here and besides her parents are out for a business trip and will be back after New Year's Eve, she would have been alone here, so I am actually hitting two birds with one stone. Your welcome!"

"You will pay for this!"

"Already am! Have fun and hope to see you soon bro!" With that Woo Bin hanged up on the other line. Yi Jung looked back to the figure who had not moved from her spot, but her facial expressions were full of concerns.

"What's wrong Ga-" Before Yi Jung could finish his question, Ga Eul walked up to him, as she placed the back of her hand on his forehead, her eyes widened and then she held his wrist in her hand. "Sunbae, you have a very high fever!"

"No, it is nothing really. I will get better soon" Ga Eul shook her head, and pushed back into his room and on to his bed and forced him to lay down.

"Where is your kitchen?"

"That...way…" Ga Eul sprinted towards the direction Yi Jung pointed to. Few minutes later she came back with a bowl of water and napkins. Yi Jung furrowed his brows as Ga Eul sat next to him. She began to dip a napkin into the water, squeezed out the excess water and unfolding it laid it on Yi Jung's forehead. Yi Jung had no idea what she was doing, but he was tired already and with everything happening so fast, he really didn't have any energy to ask. Ga Eul repeated the same process over and over as soon as the napkin became warmer. What she did felt nice and very relaxing and before he knew it Yi Jung had fallen asleep again.

Yi Jung slowly lifted his eyelids and was happy to be awakened by a nice warm surrounding. The wet napkin that laid on his head made him return to reality. He sat up from the bed and looked around. He was positive he wasn't dreaming. His eyes rested upon a feminine figure who rested her elbows on the balcony railing. Yi Jung walked up to her, Ga Eul jumped in surprise. "Sunbae you shouldn't be out here. You are sick."

Yi Jung rested his elbows on the same railing as he looked at Ga Eul with concerned and worried expressions. "Ga Eul I am fine. In no time, I will be good as new."

"Sunbae that is not how things work-"

"Why did you come all the way here?" Yi Jung cut off Ga Eul and she silenced for a moment and then opened her mouth again.

"I wanted to see you and-"

"Ga Eul this isn't the right way. Your parents are away. What do you think they will say if they find out their daughter went to the other part of the world to meet a guy they haven't approved of yet and worst when they find out about my history they-" Yi Jung was forced to become silent as Ga Eul's lips made contact with his. He was shocked that Ga Eul had become so bold and just placed a kiss on his lips. The fact is because of his fever his body was already burning and now with Ga Eul's lips on his, the burning inside only seemed to increase. As Ga Eul parted she took a step back, she was presented with a stunned Yi Jung.

"Sunbae I came here with the choice. I don't care what my parents say. As long as I am with you, I don't care about anything else. Since yesterday, I was having this uncertainty that something was wrong with you and that is why I asked Woo Bin sunbae to send me here soon as possible. Then I come here and my worrying was right you were sick and I am sure if I wasn't here then you would have never told any of us. If being here with you and caring for you is a crime, then I accept to be punished but seeing you in pain hurts me. That is the only reason why I am here. But if you really don't want me here. Then I will leave." Ga Eul tried to fight back tears, as she was about to walk away but then was pulled into a warm hug. Ga Eul tried to push Yi Jung away, but his grip was too tight.

"Ga Eul please don't misunderstand me. You have no idea how happy I am to see you here and every second I get to spend with you is more than anything to me. But Ga Eul you are aware that you are a girl and I am a guy and here we are miles away from our families and friends in a hotel alone. I don't care about myself, but I don't want anyone to say anything insulting about you or you being shameful for your family. Do you understand?" Ga Eul nodded her head that laid against Yi Jung's chest. Yi Jung broke the hug and looked into Ga Eul's eyes that let out tears. He used his thumbs to wipe them away and again looked straight into her eyes as she still avoided his.

"I was right, girls really do look ugly when they cry." Yi Jung got a hit on his chest for his words but luckily he received a smile from Ga Eul as well.

"Tomorrow morning we will leave for Seoul. Okay?" Ga Eul nodded her head, as she smiled to herself. 'Yi Jung sunbae really did change.'

"Ga Eul help yourself to my bed, I will just get some sheets for myself and settle on the floor."

"Wait but you are sick. You should sleep on the bed."

"Ga Eul I am fine. But as long as I am here, and the gentleman I am, you a girl will not sleep on the floor." Ga Eul stopped fighting and laid herself on the bed. She pulled the blanket to her chest, and Yi Jung did the same as he laid himself on the floor. It wasn't easy sleeping on the hard wooden floor, but Yi Jung didn't want to complain. Silence had filled the room and the moment had become awkward, having both not being able to sleep.

"Sunbae…"

"Hmm.."

"What made you change…"

Yi Jung couldn't help but smile curiously to her question. "What do you mean?"

"I mean you being a Casanova wouldn't you waste not one second to bed a woman who was with you in a hotel. That's your reputation right-" Ga Eul bit back her tongue she mentally slapped herself. How could she say all that? Yi Jung became silent nothing came from him, Ga Eul felt bad, was what she said too much? Before she could come to a conclusion, Yi Jung had climbed on the bed and towered her, nailing her arms above her head with both of his hands as he looked directly into her eyes; their faces centimeters away.

"This is the kind of guy you think I am?" Ga Eul was frightened, Yi Jung continued with his words. "So this is all I am to you huh? Someone who beds women without reason or knowing them? Is that all I am to you? Even now?" Ga Eul was nervous, she didn't understand what was happening, was Yi Jung really going to…

"S-sun...bae…" Ga Eul's hesitant voice gave Yi Jung the answer he was looking for. He slowly let go of her arms and moved away as he sat on the edge of the bed and dug his face into his palms.

"So I still have to prove myself to you."

Ga Eul slowly sat up against the bed's headrest. "Here I was thinking you understood me more than anyone."

"Sunbae I am sorry, I didn't mean to…" Yi Jung ignored Ga Eul's words. He approached his closet and put back the sheets he laid on the floor as well as the pillow and blanket. He took out a black book and pen and headed out of the room closing the door behind him. Ga Eul hated herself for what she said, but all she could do is apologize in the morning, but tonight she was going to cry herself to sleep.

Yi Jung slumped on the couch and threw the diary and pen on the coffee table in front of him. As his vision fell upon the diary and pen he abruptly took them in control, taking the pen in his hand and flipping the diary to the next empty page, with force Yi Jung begin to write:

Dear Soulmate!

Should I even call you that? Tonight here you are in the same hotel as me and you are actually considered of me bedding you? Do you still take me to be that kind of guy even after I promised you I will change! I hate you! Hate you so much!-

Yi Jung took a deep breath as he read what he had just forced on the paper. Instantly he scratched out the hate statements he made. He didn't know why or what happen to him. Why was he getting so angry? Was it him being sick and the throbbing headache or the pain that came from Ga Eul not believing him? Yi Jung gazes upon the diary again and flips to the next empty page.

Dear Soulmate,

Tonight you asked me what made me change. Well to answer that I have only one word. You. Yes you Ga Eul, made me change. You made me want to live my life for me and not what others want me to love it as but what I want. You gave me the energy to start all over to try something new nothing of regret and do my best because in the end you will always be there for me. But when you are the one who is concerned of me then what I am supposed to do? Who am I supposed to fall back on? All I want to show you is that I love you too much that even if God asked me to give up my life for you I would. But if only you would trust me. If only I could make you, believe me, this one last time.

Yi Jung ended it there and snugged the pen in between the page he had just written on and closed the diary. He carefully positioned the diary in place under the couch pillow and laid his head on it and after long painful thoughts finally fell asleep.

The next morning Yi Jung was the first to wake up, the throbbing headache forced his face to cringe into a circle, unfortunately, and his illness only got worse. 'This is why I wanted to rest. Damn you Woo Bin!' Yi Jung cursed under his breath as he removed the blanket off his body. 'Wait. A blanket? Where did this come from?' Yi Jung thought to himself. Then his head clicked only to one face and that face made him smile. He looked down, slowly his eyes fell upon a packet of tablets and some syrups; that were laid out for him, which were meant for the cure of coughs and fevers. Yi Jung smiled to himself, 'even when we have fights, you still care so much about me.' He began to cough as he stood up from the couch, his stomach swirled in pain making him uncertain if he had vomit or not, but he tried to steady himself. Yi Jung slowly pushed forth the door of his room and entered quietly. He witnessed the figure laid unconsciously, still in her dream land, he walked up to her, where her face was visible, he creased her face and could feel the dry tears that were left on her cheeks from last night. Yi Jung felt horrible for making her cry; he had to make it up to her, but in his own way.
