CHAPTER 14 EunBi just lay there lifelessly on her bed, drenched in her own tears; she hadn't even bothered to change her clothes, and she didn't budge when the phone rang...she just lay there like a rock. She didn't even notice that another day had passed by, but all she could think of was ChilHyun oppa's baby that GyooHee was or might be carrying in her stomach. 'So you were gonna keep your pregnancy a secret, huh unnie?' EunBi felt rage and anger bubbling inside inside her, but she did not have the strength to relieve her emotions. 'How could unnie act so normal around me? She's not even an unnie...I hate her...I hope she goes to hell...' she cursed bitterly; but it did not make her feel better. Cursing GyooHee unnie did not make the problems go away, and it did not change anything. 'Just wait till unnie gets back...I will wring her neck and get an explanation out of her...' EunBi thought about JoonWoo oppa...he had gone back to Japan because of business matters, and informed EunBi that he would come back in a few days to see GyooHee. 'Unnie's in big trouble now...how is she gonna get herself out of this one? No matter what...I'm NOT breaking the news to JoonWoo oppa...no more dirty work for me...I wonder if ChilHyun oppa knows about this baby...' EunBi stopped thinking when she heard something downstairs. "EunBi yah!! I'm back!" GyooHee yelled at the top of her lungs. EunBi's heart began to beat faster as her anger began to rise... GyooHee stomped up the stairs and went straight into EunBi's room. "Hey sis...I'm back!" she repeated as she stared down at her little sister lying in bed. "Whoa, EunBi...you're still not better?" she asked distastefully. EunBi just glared at GyooHee. "What's wrong EunBi?" she asked with big eyes. EunBi's eyes went straight down to GyooHee's stomach. She wasn't starting to show just yet, but that explained everything... 'So they slept together RECENTLY...and it IS ChilHyun oppa's baby...' she thought angrily. GyooHee sat down on the edge of the bed and observed her sister's appearance: wrinkled black blouse, smeared makeup, plaid skirt, messy hair... "Were you gonna sleep in that?" GyooHee asked. EunBi scoffed. She was going to lash out at her sister, but didn't think it would be a wise thing to do. She was still glaring at her sister coldly. "Leave me alone!" EunBi said as she pulled her blanket over her head. "Somebody's PMSing..." GyooHee said as she got up and walked out of the room. 'I'm gonna get you back for this unnie...just wait and see...tomorrow...tomorrow I will go to ChilHyun oppa and tell him EVERYTHING...about the baby and your engagement with JoonWoo oppa...you'll be so sorry...' Although EunBi had not carried out her plan yet, she smiled weakly; the feeling of revenge could never be so sweet... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ChilHyun got into his house...he had never driven so far in his whole entire life. His hair and clothes smelled of cigarettes while his breath reeked of alcohol, but he had sobered up before the long drive home. "I've got to stop thinking about her!" he said as he shook his head and went upstairs to take a shower. **RING RING** "Ack..." ChilHyun mumbled as he reached for the phone. "Hello?" "Hello? ChilHyun ah! When did you get back?! Where have you been? I've been trying to reach you in the past 48 hours!" HeeJun's exasperated voice came from the other end of the line. ChilHyun rubbed his head and yawned. "Sorry hyung...I just went to the lake," he answered honestly. "The lake? What lake? What for? By yourself?" HeeJun asked eagerly. "I dunno...some lake a couple hundred miles away...and I was by myself..." ChilHyun answered calmly. "What happened to that visit you were gonna give to EunBi?" HeeJun asked. "I don't wanna talk about it right now, hyung...maybe later...I just got home, and I need a shower...call me later," ChilHyun droned miserably. "Okay, but wait...I have a favor to ask you," HeeJun said, trying to keep ChilHyun on the line. "What is it?" "Well, Eugene's coming back from Guam tomorrow...and someone has to pick her up from the airport in the morning at about 9:00 A.M. or so...can you do it?" HeeJun asked. "Uh...9:00 A.M? Yeah...I guess I'll do it...and you want me to drive her to the studio afterwards?" ChilHyun asked. "Yeah, that'd be nice..." "Alright then...see you tomorrow, hyung..." ChilHyun said as he hung up the phone and turned on the water. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ::The Next Day:: EunBi awoke and found herself still in her bed and in the same clothes. 'Ugh...I feel so disgusting...' she thought as she got up and checked herself in the mirror to see how bad she really looked. She gasped at the sight of her swollen face and messed up clothes. Feeling grungy and weak, she sauntered downstairs for a drink of water. She was gulping down her second glass when she spotted a piece of paper on the table. Panicking a bit, she went over to read what it was. EunBi... Went to the store to get some food...I'll be back in an hour... -GyooHee- EunBi sighed with relief; she thought it was another run-away notice from her sister. 'Oh...now that GyooHee unnie is gone...I can sneak out to see ChilHyun oppa...' she thought happily as she set her empty glass down and went back upstairs to take a shower and clean herself up. Within thirty minutes, EunBi was all ready to go. She stepped out of her house and breathed in the fresh air. 'This is it...I am going to ruin unnie's life for once...I'll show her that I'm not as weak and stupid as she thinks I am...' She walked to the bus stop and got onto the next bus. Within 15 minutes, EunBi got off and walked the rest of the way to ChilHyun's house. She was only three houses down from ChilHyun's when she got all jittery. 'I can't be nervous...I can't...I'm going to go tell ChilHyun oppa everything I know about GyooHee unnie...then he'll stop loving her...' Just then, EunBi saw a car pull into the driveway of ChilHyun's house. She quickly hid behind a tree and peeked out from behind it. Nothing could describe the feeling she had when she saw a girl coming out of the car...along with ChilHyun oppa. "Isn't that...Eugene?" EunBi gasped. She recognized Eugene from the party at HeeJun and ChilHyun's house from a while back. EunBi was too far away to hear what they were saying, but she was close enough to see their facial expressions and body motions. "Thanks so much again, ChilHyun oppa...I mean...for taking the time to pick me up and stuff..." Eugene said gratefully as she flashed him a smile. "Hey...no problem..." ChilHyun said. He was surprised and a bit uncomfortable when Eugene moved in closer to give him a hug. "Uh...I'm just gonna get my music from my room...it's not gonna take long, but do you want to come in anyway?" ChilHyun asked, trying to break the silence after the hug. "Sure..." Eugene smiled as ChilHyun led her into the house with his hand on her back. EunBi watched all of these motions in shock and jealousy...the hug...the smiles...the way ChilHyun led Eugene into the house with his hand on her back...it all replayed in her mind over and over like a broken record. "Oppa...I can't believe this..." she whispered as tears welled up in her eyes. "I thought you were with GyooHee unnie?!" EunBi turned around and walked back to the nearest bus stop. 'Nothing makes any sense! What's happening? I feel so lost and confused...' <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> EunBi went into her house and heard GyooHee unnie call out her name. "Yeah...it's me..." EunBi answered back. She sauntered into the kitchen like a zombie stuck in a trance. "Where did you go?" GyooHee asked as she shoved some chips into her mouth. "Oh...i just went out for a walk..." EunBi lied. She wanted to confront her sister about everything: like the pregnancy, JoonWoo oppa, and ChilHyun oppa...but she just couldn't bring herself to talk about it. GyooHee just nodded as she shoved some more food into her mouth. EunBi peered down at the table and her mouth dropped open; her sister was eating like a pig! Oreos with peanut butter, popcorn, chilidogs, tortilla chips, chocolate cake, donuts, and a fat cupcake. "Unnie...why are you eating so much?" EunBi asked as her eyes were still glued to the food. "I dunno...I'm just really hungry, I guess," GyooHee said with a muffled voice. Her mouth was full. EunBi realized that her sister was eating a lot only because she is pregnant... "EunBi...is there something you'd like to share with me?" GyooHee asked with a stern expression. EunBi froze...'Does she know that I know about her pregnancy? Oh my gosh...what do I do...' her face felt hot with panick. "EunBi?" GyooHee asked. "Uh...like what unnie?" she asked with a cracked voice. "I dunno...like a chilidog or something?" GyooHee said as she licked her fingers. "Oh...you were talking about the food?" EunBi asked, feeling relieved. "Umm...yeah...what did you think I was talking about?" GyooHee asked slowly. She stared at her sister as if she were an alien. "Oh...hehe," EunBi laughed nervously. "Well? What do you want to eat?" GyooHee asked as she looked down at the junk food feast in front of her. "Well, I'll just take a cookie..." EunBi said as she grabbed an oreo. "That's all you want? Come on...eat more! I feel like a pig eating all of this by myself..." GyooHee pouted. "I'm sure...I'm not that hungry anyways," EunBi said. The image of ChilHyun oppa and Eugene replayed in her mind over and over again. "You know what EunBi? You don't look so good...like...are you on your rag or something? Cuz you were really snappy yesterday..." GyooHee said as she unwrapped a chilidog. "Oh...sorry bout that..." EunBi apologized. She did not want to say sorry, but what else could she do? "It's okay...but!! I gaurantee...that a night out with me will refresh you...so I'm taking you clubbing tonight!!" GyooHee announced cheerfully. "Oh, no...it's okay...I don't--" "Shh!" GyooHee stopped her sister mid-sentence. "I don't care if I have to drag you out...it's time to get out of the house and have some fun!" she said as she stuck out her tongue wildly. "I bet you could find yourself a nice guy out in those clubs..." 'Haha...yeah right...I want ChilHyun oppa...' EunBi thought as she rolled her eyes. GyooHee wolfed down the chilidog and washed it down with the glass of milk that was sitting in front of her. With her mouth half-full, she spoke. "Well, anyways...we're going tonight...so just be ready to go out..." she said as she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and burped. EunBi sighed. "Okay...I could use some excitement..." she said as she got up from her chair. 'I can also use some alcohol...' she thought, and walked up to her room. 'Tonight...tonight I will have fun without ChilHyun oppa...I will not thinkk about him...I will not speak of him...and I surely will TRY to forget about him...if i can...' CHAPTER 15 EunBi swore to herself to try to forget about ChilHyun oppa, and she was determined to have fun without thinking about him. 'He has a girlfriend, and I need a life...so I'll go to the club tonight looking sexy as hell and forget about him...' Although she knew that it was impossible to live without thinking about ChilHyun oppa, she did not want to admit it to herself. "All ready?" GyooHee asked as she walked into the room. "Yeah...I just have to change my clothes..." EunBi's hair and makeup were already done, and all she had to do was find an outfit to match her dark makeup. She chose a short leopard-print miniskirt along with a black tube-top, and pulled out a pair of black knee-high boots. Observing herself in the mirror, she smiled with satisfaction. As a finishing touch, she rubbed some body glitter onto her tan shoulders and put on a black necklace. "EunBi yah! I'll wait in the car for you!" GyooHee yelled from downstairs. "Okay!" EunBi yelled back as she grabbed her purse, coat, and perfume. ~~~~~~~~~~> At the Club <~~~~~~~~~~ EunBi glanced over at what her sister was wearing: black leather miniskirt with a shiny red tube-top. 'That's no way for a pregnant lady to dress...' she thought to herself as both of them entered the club. GyooHee headed straight for the dancefloor as EunBi went to the bar and sat down. "I'll have a strawberry margarita," she said to the bartender. EunBi was never much of a drinker, but tonight was going to be an exception. If she was going to forget about ChilHyun oppa, drinking would probably help. The bartender set EunBi's order down right when GyooHee called to her. "EunBi yah! Look who I found on the dancefloor!" she yelled happily over the loud music. EunBi did not even bother to turn around, so instead, lifted her drink and sipped distastefully. GyooHee spun her around to make her face the guy linked to her arm. EunBi almost spat out her drink as her eyes widened. GyooHee scrunched her face. "Aren't you gonna say hi, EunBi? Where are your manners?" "Oh...hi...ChilHyun oppa..." EunBi managed to murmur shyly. ChilHyun seemed to brighten up when he saw EunBi. He shot her a beautiful smile and greeted her back warmly. "Hi, EunBi...it's really good to see you...again," he said happily. She may have rejected him, but he was happy and relieved to see her. EunBi did not give in to his "sweet-talking" skills...she scoffed at him rudely and showed an expressionless face. As always, ChilHyun just ignored her cold reaction and sat down in the seat next to her. "Well, doesn't this bring back memories?" he asked as he smiled at EunBi cutely. EunBi had to admit...ChilHyun looked so irresistable and good looking: black dress pants with a gray dress shirt...it wasn't tucked in, and the sleeves were rolled up...light brown hair and sparkly eyes...intoxicating scent of cologne...he looked sexy and sophisticated. Her feelings for him rushed back quickly. GyooHee managed to sit herself down next to ChilHyun as if she were protecting him from EunBi. "So how are you?" ChilHyun asked politely. EunBi just sipped her margarita and nodded. "Pretty good...and you?" she asked, trying hard not to make eye contact. One look into his big, sparkly eyes...and she knew that she'd get lost in them. ChilHyun fiddled with his fingers as GyooHee just sat there listening to the converstaion attentively. "I'm doing well," he finally answered after some hesitation. He wanted to tell EunBi how he was REALLY doing...but thought twice because of GyooHee's presence. "You seem to come here often?" he continued, trying to break the uncomfortable silence. "Umm...not really," EunBi said immediately. GyooHee winced a little. "Wait...you guys have seen each other here before?" she asked as if it were a big crime. ChilHyun nodded. "Yeah...I've seen her here a few times..." he said, but his eyes remained glued to EunBi. He marvelled at her beauty; inside and out. Whether it was her personality or appearance...he loved it all. GyooHee pouted with jealousy. She didn't like the way ChilHyun was paying more attention to EunBi rather then herself. Trying to ignore her jealousy, she called to the bartender. "Raspberry vodka please," she said as she crossed her arms and rested them on the counter. EunBi did not raise her head to look at ChilHyun oppa, but she could already feel his eyes on her. She finally raised her head, but avoided eye contact with him. GyooHee had received her order and lifted her arm to drink it. "Unnie, stop!" EunBi said suddenly. "Don't drink that, unnie..." GyooHee seemed to be a bit cross with EunBi's sudden outburst. "Why not?" she asked with a stern look on her face. "Well, because it has alcohol in it..." EunBi said stupidly. "Thank God it does..." GyooHee said as she lifted her arm once again to gulp down her drink. "Unnie..." "What!?" GyooHee said frustratingly. "You shouldn't..." EunBi hesitated. "It's bad for the baby..." she continued and trailed off. GyooHee and ChilHyun both froze. "Are you pregnant?" ChilHyun asked with disbelief. 'Stupid EunBi...babo...why did I say that? Stupid...ugh...I'm so stupid!!' GyooHee just sat shocked, but regained her composure in a short moment. "Wh-what did you just say?" she asked as she got up and walked over to her sister. EunBi felt hot with panick. "EunBi! Who told you?!" GyooHee asked as she grabbed EunBi by the shoulders and shook her violently. "Oww, unnie! You're hurting me..." EunBi yelped in pain, and struggled to get loose from the strong grip...but GyooHee did not let go. "Unnie!" EunBi yelped again, and sucked in air through her teeth as she felt GyooHee's nails sinking into her flesh. ChilHyun snapped out of his shocked state and got up. "GyooHee!" he said as he tried to pull her off of EunBi. "Stop it..." he said firmly as he finally pulled her away. "I asked who told you!?" GyooHee yelled as she squirmed to get out of ChilHyun's strong arms. EunBi sat there, rubbing the spots where GyooHee had grabbed her. She felt tears in her eyes, feeling stupid and regretting the words that had slipped out of her mouth. She was only trying to help the baby's health... "Let go of me oppa!" GyooHee demanded as she continued to squirm. "If I let you go...don't hurt EunBi," he said, still keeping a tight hold on GyooHee. "Okay, I won't..." GyooHee said, calming down. She bubbled with anger because of the way ChilHyun was defending her sister. ChilHyun nodded and let her go. She immediately sat down next to EunBi. "How do you know about this? Who told you?" she asked with pure anger and rage. EunBi did not want to answer. She just kept silent and lowered her head. "Answer me dammit!" GyooHee demanded. ChilHyun just stood there with his hands jammed in his pockets. "If you're pregnant, who's baby is it?" he asked calmly. GyooHee smiled slyly and looked over at her sister. EunBi sat and strained her ears for an answer...this was the moment of truth. "It's yours, oppa..." GyooHee said, still smiling evilly. Her anger seemed to have disappeared. ChilHyun glared at GyooHee in disbelief as EunBi sat shocked with disappointment. "It can't be mine!" ChilHyun broke out with rage. "What the fuck are you trying to pull here? We haven't even slept together!" he yelled angrily. GyooHee sat there calmly, enjoying every moment of what was happening...she had won her sister...now she knew that EunBi could NEVER have ChilHyun oppa. She looked over at her sister who still had her head down. "Of course we did, oppa...you just don't remember clearly," she said in a natural tone. ChilHyun scoffed and gave a loud laugh. "Just tell me...exactly what are you trying to pull here? Don't sit there and tell me that we slept together cuz I'm not buying that bullshit!" he said as he brushed his bangs away. "Oh, don't say that, oppa...this is your baby right here..." GyooHee said as she patted her flat stomach. "Shut up GyooHee...you're so full of shit!" ChilHyun said as she glared at her evilly. "No, seriously...do you remember that day JungHye left for Canada?" GyooHee asked with a fake, innocent face. EunBi did not want to hear it...the two had slept together and made a baby...she did not want to hear about how it happened. She abruptly got up before her tears fell, and started to walk away. "Wait, EunBi...I want you to hear this," GyooHee said as she grabbed EunBi's arm and jerked her back. EunBi lowered her head again, afraid that she might cry. "Oppa, that night...it was you and me in your house...and you got drunk," GyooHee continued, still holding onto EunBi's arm. "You told me that you were hurting because of a girl...so when you fell asleep, I went to you and layed down beside you...and you told me that you loved me and then you made love to me..." she said calmly. ChilHyun stood speechlessly. It was true that he couldn't remember what happened that night...but it wasn't possible that he and GyooHee...EunBi lifted her head and looked at him with watery eyes. "So it's true...the baby is yours," she whispered as tears fell from her face. ChilHyun didn't know what to say. "Why do you care so much if the baby is his or not, EunBi?" GyooHee asked. EunBi tried desparately to run away, but her sister's grasp was too strong. "Tell me...tell us, EunBi," GyooHee said evilly. "Now that I have confessed, it's your turn...tell ChilHyun oppa how you REALLY feel about him..." she continued to nag. EunBi shook her head; she felt embarrassed and angry that her sister would do such a thing to her. "Oh, what's wrong, EunBi? Tell him that you like him...don't miss out on this chance..." GyooHee said. ChilHyun looked at EunBi, confused. "Is that true?" he asked hopefully. GyooHee chuckled. "Well, well, well...isn't it true that you two like each other?" Well guess what? Too bad, but I'm carrying your baby, oppa...you can't abandon your child and its mother for another woman, can you?" she said victoriously. "What's with the silence, EunBi? Aren't you gonna thank me? I did you a favor by telling him that you like him...since you've kept it in for so long...you know, I knew it all along that you liked him...reading that sappy little diary of yours really helped cuz now I know what kind of a back-stabbing sister you are! Going after my boyfriend like that..." "Stop it, GyooHee! Stop it! Since when am I your boyfriend? You shouldn't be talking, cuz who's the one who ran off with another man?" ChilHyun said as he breathed in air roughly. "You're an evil bitch you know that? How could you even say that we slept together? I don't believe it!" EunBi could not take this any longer. She jerked her arm out of GyooHee's grip and made her way quickly through the crazy crowd. "EunBi yah! Wait!" ChilHyun called out as he went after her...but she was too quick...she was already out of sight somewhere in the huge crowd. ChilHyun closed his eyes and held his head in frustration. 'I need a better explanation...' he thought as he made his way back to GyooHee. "I knew you'd come back..." she said in a smart way. "This is serious, GyooHee...don't fuck around!" he said in a feirce tone. "Well, apparently it's too late for you to say that," GyooHee answered dryly. ChilHyun scoffed and undid a few buttons near his collar to cool off. "Why do you have to lie like that, GyooHee?" "Lie like what? I'm not lying..." "Yes, you are...we didn't do anything that night!!" ChilHyun said firmly as he shook his head; he did not want to believe it. GyooHee sighed. "Don't deny it...like I said, you were drunk that night, so of course you don't remember..." "IF we did sleep together," ChilHyun said, emhpasizing the word "if"..."If we did do anything together while i was drunk, why didn't you stop it from happening?" he asked. GyooHee shrugged. "Why would I want to stop you?" "But we're not even together anymore..." ChilHyun said frustratingly. He felt miserable and confused. "Well, what's done is done...nothing can change the past..." GyooHee said with a stubborn attitude. "No...you're lying...are you really pregnant?" he asked unbelievably. He wanted to strangle GyooHee. "Well, you probably can't trust my words, but you'd trust EunBi's...she's the one who brought it up anyways," GyooHee pointed out. "How the hell did she find out about it?" she pondered aloud to herself. ChilHyun sighed and rubbed his eyes tiredly. 'EunBi yah...' "Is it true about what you said? I mean EunBi..." ChilHyun asked absentmindedly. "What? About her liking you? Heh...why do you think she ran out like that?" GyooHee asked with no emotion. "She's such a weak little brat..." ChilHyun glared at GyooHee and got up from his seat. GyooHee looked up to face him, wondering why he stood up. Still staring coldly as possible, ChilHyun raised his hand and slapped GyooHee in the face. "That baby isn't mine...and don't insult EunBi like that..." he said coldly as he turned to go search for EunBi. :~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~: Not knowing where she was running to, EunBi ran and ran. she looked back and saw the bright lights of the club in the distance to see if anyone was following her. Panting heavily, she turned back around and continued to walk until she came to familiar cross streets. 'Where am I supposed to go now? I don't want to go home...I wish JungHye were still here...then I could go to her...' but EunBi did not have any other choice but to go home. 'Gosh...I can't face GyooHee unnie anymore..and ChilHyun oppa too...' She wanted to cry but she was too embarrassed and shaken up. 'How could unnie do this to me? She's not even human...' Eunbi finally reached a bus stop. Not knowing when the next bus was going to come, she sat down and just waited patiently. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< ChilHyun searched the club twice and was unable to find EunBi anywhere. Figuring that she might have gone home, he left the club and went to his car. 'God this is confusing...GyooHee's pregnant..EunBi has a boyfriend but likes me...what the hell's going on here?' He drove slowly around just in case she was wandering around somewhere. It was 11:15 P.M. and it was dangerous for her to be walking by herself. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< GyooHee sat at the bar and thought about what had just happened. 'What have I done? This isn't the way I wanted things to go...' She thought that she had won ChilHyun oppa's love by saying that the baby is his...but she had only lost him... 'He hates me now...this isn't what I wanted...' She thought of what she had done to her sister. 'Man...why did I have to be so harsh? I'm so stupid...I shouldn't have said that...' regretting what she had just done, she looked down at her vodka waiting to be drunk. It was so tempting, but GyooHee pushed it out of her reach. EunBi was right...no matter what, the baby's health is important... 'But how did she find out about the baby???'
