Eunhyuk hesitated to answer for a while then smiled. "Who do you think I am? I'm Super Eunhyuk, and I'm the MAN. Any challenge comes my way, I'll accept it. So who is it? A girl with a boyfriend? Another player? Bae Seul Gi?"
Yunho frowned at him for mentioning his ex-crush. "Yah, Seul Gi-ssi is DEFINITELY off limits for you, or for anyone in that matter! Anyway, I wouldn't really know, you know her more than I do."
Eunhyuk thought about it for a while and gave him the most disgusted look. "MY MOM?!"
He was smacked behind the head by Yunho's hand. "PABO! That's even MORE OFF LIMITS! What crazy things are going into your head? I'm talking about your model friend, Soyeon."
"Oh~ Soyeon..." Eunhyuk said, finally sounding relieved. Until he realized what he just said. "SOYEON? As in THE Soyeon?! Wait, wait, and wait. NO, you can't do this to me!"
Yunho crossed his arms and looked at him questioningly. "Are you backing away from a CHALLENGE?! And plus, what's wrong? She's gorgeous and has the best S-Line. She's the perfect catch!"
He shook his head vigorously and formed an X with his arms. "That is a selfish devil who has nothing else in her mind but... well nothing!" He put his fist in the air as he recalled more torturous memories that never failed to haunt him.
“Well whatever she’s like, it’s YOUR challenge. And Super Eunhyuk doesn’t reject or even FAIL any challenges, right?” Yunho noticed that Eunhyuk still wasn’t taking the bait. “Yah, aren’t you out there for revenge? If you’re able to get HER, imagine the shame and plus the pleasure of winning, right?”
He noticed Eunhyuk’s eyes flicker. “Yunho…you might be right.”
Yunho scoffed arrogantly. “OF COURSE I AM! Now where is that Junsu?”
At that moment, Junsu walked in the apartment with a soccer ball in his hands. “What’s up?”
“Eunhyuk is up for the best of his challenges yet. Saved up the best for last,” Yunho exclaimed then turned to Eunhyuk. “I’m afraid to admit that… you’ll be on your own!”
Eunhyuk nodded, understanding that Yunho wouldn’t know as much as he does about Soyeon. Junsu asked what it was all about and Eunhyuk’s face tightened. “I’m not turning back on this challenge.”
Junsu sighed, “Okay, so tell me who this next LUCKY girl is!”
Eunhyuk took too long to answer so Yunho happily replied for him. “SOYEON!”
Junsu’s eyes widened and his mouth hung open widely. “You’re kidding.”
Both of them shook their heads and Yunho quickly threw Eunhyuk’s bag at him, gesturing he should leave. “Eunhyuk, you’re the player in this game.”
He nodded, “I know.” Eunhyuk glanced back to see Junsu behind him but he was quiet as if he was thinking deeply about something. Eunhyuk grinned. “Yah, I’ll be okay! You don’t think I can get her oh but I can.”
Junsu glanced at him and mumbled to himself, “Oh I’m sure you can…”
* * * * *
Eunhyuk honestly had NO idea how to get the girl he would’ve never thought of getting but he kept a cool face as he watched the photoshoot he was forced to go to once again. This time, however, he was more aware of Soyeon’s feminine charms that he barely noticed until this challenge.
“That’s great Soyeon-ssi! You know, I’m starting to feel a greater feminine aura. Next up, the Z Dress!” the photographer said with a satisfied voice. Eunhyuk agreed with the photographer when he said that he felt a greater feminine aura but he wasn’t about to admit it. He couldn’t think that Soyeon was a potential girl for him just because she’ his next target. He was surprised because usually, everyone who worked with her was always disappointed at one point or another but this time, everything was going perfect.
And he also didn’t expect that she would work so well in a girly kind of photoshoot since it was for LALA Magazine, a fashion magazine for many females that didn’t have a single boyish theme to it. He was beginning to think that Soyeon was actually starting to like modeling. He closed his eyes to think about how to start his first move when he heard gasps of amazement and “OOH~”s and “AAH~”s. Quickly opening his eyes again, he spotted the bright star.
He didn’t have the same reaction as everyone else. Instead of obvious reactions, he had it where no one would even notice. His heart was beating faster by the second and he couldn’t take away his dark brown eyes off her body that was only covered by what they call a “Z Dress” made out to look like a Z on her body. It fit perfectly on her S-Line figure and her long hair was curled to give off that feminine feel. Eunhyuk gulped when he met her gaze and tried to act cool. He wanted to look away and pretended he didn’t care but it was like he was trapped under a spell.
Soyeon turned away from him and began to pose for the camera which she did so well and made it unbelievably natural. Eunhyuk closed his eyes and slowly began to turn his head and opened them again, finally breaking the spell. “Whoa…what the…”
After the whole photoshoot had ended, Soyeon made her way to Eunhyuk with her more normal and casual clothes. He slowly turned towards her and glanced at her, up and down, making it look like he was checking her out. He gave a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good.”
“Pervert!” Soyeon said smacking the back of his head. “I think this whole bet is changing you.”
He nodded when she turned away. “I think so too, I’m starting to see you as a GIRL,” he muttered low enough so that she wouldn’t hear. Then he finally had a feeling that this was the chance.
He grabbed her wrist to stop her. “Hm, since you did so well today, I felt like I should give you a treat.”
She raised an eyebrow but didn’t argue back. They settled in a small café and ordered their favorite drinks. “So how’s the bet doing?”
Eunhyuk grinned, “Perfect. Before you know it, I’ll be winning in NO time.” He tried to look suave by making a pose when he accidentally hit Soyeon’s drink, making it spill on her lap.
“Smooth,” Soyeon said with a sarcastic smile. She grabbed the napkins beside her and tried to wipe it off but the brown stain was still there. “PERFECT. I wonder how you managed to get those girls.”
‘Me too,’ Eunhyuk thought. Then he remembered a move Yunho had showed him. “When times like these happen, make sure to be a MAN. Buy them something they’ll like and tell them they’re beautiful in the outfits.” Eunhyuk nodded, another chance given to him.
“Soyeon, I know a perfect place for you,” he said and headed towards a clothing boutique near the café. “Look around, the place is yours.”
“Why are we here?” she asked, crossing her arms.
“Uh, I don’t know about you but if it was me, I wouldn’t want to walk around with a brown stain on my nice pants making it look like I peed myself,” he replied as he sat down on one of the comfy white leather chairs near the dressing room.
“You’re a jerk.” Soyeon still looked around, hoping to get out of those pants quickly. She tried to look for her comfy type of clothing which consisted of jeans or sweat pants and baggy t-shirts or just plain tank tops but nothing was there. Eunhyuk glanced at her and smirked. The store he chose wasn’t for those kinds of clothes but for the girlier and fancier one. It wouldn’t have worked if she just chose the same typical clothes.
She stomped back to him and gave him a good long stare. Eunhyuk raised his eyebrows as if to say, “What do you want?”
“Let’s go to another store, shall we?”
“Oh no, no, no~” Eunhyuk said, waving a finger at her. “The other stores are SO~ far away. Will you be walking around looking like you need to find a washroom fast? I mean, the model Soyeon looks like she peed herself.”
She glowered but had no choice but to look for clothes there. Browsing through the clothes, Soyeon felt like someone was staring at her but she seriously didn’t dare to look back. She picked a few clothes and was about to buy it but Eunhyuk had paid for it for her. She put on the clothes and made a stunning surprise for Eunhyuk when she came out with a pretty light blue floral dress .
“You’ve always been taking me out lately and not one complaint from you. I’m finding this a little suspicious,” Soyeon said, crossing her arms. Eunhyuk’s eyes drifted away anywhere he could find to distract himself. “Hey, are you even listening? Look, I’m trying to tell you that…”
“SHHH! I’m about to defy you!” Eunhyuk replied and glanced at her and quickly looked away. He could NEVER say that Soyeon looked not just plain attractive but OHMYGAWD attractive in that dress.
“HYUK!” Soyeon shouted.
Fine, fine.” Eunhyuk had to make sure he didn’t look suspicious. He couldn’t blow his cover so he had to take PLAN #19. Pretend to admit that you like the girl. “The truth is…I’ve been finding you eye-catching lately…with an attraction!”
He soon realized that he wasn’t lying either. Soyeon blinked a few times to let it build up in her mind. Then she let out a sigh.
“This isn’t the time to joke. Why do I even bother?”
“No, I’m not lying!”
“Then what are you trying to say, that you like me?” she asked tiredly. Eunhyuk wasn’t supposed to be surprised by those words but hearing it from her made his heart beat. ‘Ah, why am I feeling like a girl?!’ he thought. Then he cleared his throat.
“I don’t know what this feeling is,” he said in his faint acting voice, “but whenever I’m with you I just can’t seem to stop looking at you and whenever I’m not with you, I’m always looking for you.”
Soyeon gulped. Could this be his confession? She tried to cover her happiness with a cold face and a harsh attitude.
“What are you, a girl? I know I’m good looking and all but why are you doing this to me now?”
“I don’t know!” he answered. He got a feeling that some things he said weren’t just made up anymore. “I mean, I never liked your good looking appearance because of your bratty attitude and tomboyish old self and I was never attracted to you! NEVER!”
‘Ouch,’ she thought, ‘You didn’t have to be THAT honest.’ She looked at him and saw that he was avoiding her eyes. ‘Is he SERIOUS?!’ she yelled in her mind. For her, this was unbelievable, which was technically true. She would’ve said she should have never believed it.
“Soyeon-ah. Will you be my –“
“NO!” she retorted, louder than she’d expected. “I mean, how do I know if you’re really into me?”
He sighed and put a hand on her shoulder. “Look, if I said I NEVER liked you why would it change now? Obviously it’s changing because I’m starting to like you and there’s no reason to lie about it!”
“That’s confusing,” Soyeon covered up even though she felt in her heart that the feeling was all real.
“Then let’s fall in love!” Eunhyuk shouted. His mind has reached its limit and he had no idea of what he was saying anymore. “Let’s go on a date tomorrow.”
“But I have a photoshoot at the field tomorrow.”
“Then we’ll have a picnic there! Leave it to me! Ah~ I have to meet my friends soon, bye!” He waved goodbye to her and quickly dashed out. ‘Eunhyuk-ah, you’re totally LOSING YOUR MIND!’ his mind yelled at him.
He was talking to himself as he made his way back and ended up bumping into a good friend of his, his very own mentor, Yunho.
“MY MAN! EUNHYUK! How’s it going?” Yunho asked with a sly grin that’s eager to hear some good news. “Did you get her yet?”
“No…” Eunhyuk said quietly. ‘Eunhyuk, why are you so messed up today?! GET YOURSELF TOGETHER!’ he thought. As a form of reflex, he suddenly slapped himself.
“Whoa there! Why are you hitting yourself? Did you fail?” Yunho inquired, giving him an almost disappointed look.
“No, it’s going pretty well…but Yunho, I think I’m starting to see her in a different light.” Eunhyuk remembered a new side of Soyeon that he thought he’d never see in her.
“Are you saying you’re starting to LIKE her?”
“I don’t know…” Eunhyuk replied. Yunho put his fingers on his temple. “Oh boy. Eunhyuk, I think we need to have a talk.”
The two found a small bench to sit on and Yunho went straight to the point. “You cannot fall in love with your target and especially not your enemy! If you do, you LOSE.”
“How is liking a girl losing?” Eunhyuk said, finding that whole idea a whole load of BULL. “BECAUSE YOU CAN’T GO ON WITH THE PLAN. It’s that simple! So the question is, do you want to win the bet? If you do, you can’t possibly be going around liking girls you’re planning to USE.”
Eunhyuk fell silent. What was more important to him? His freedom or his mysterious feelings? He shook his head. ‘I shouldn’t even be thinking about it. I want to be FREE.’ “Yunho, the plan is going real well,” he told him. This was a player’s game.
* * * * *
“What are you doing cooking at our apartment anyway? Why can’t you go to yours?” Junsu complained as he watched Eunhyuk pack food in containers. He sucked on the lollipop and sighed. “You’re really getting into this whole ‘player game’ aren’t you?”
“Junsu, I’ve learned something new. If you have a goal, you can’t be halfhearted about it. You gotta go all the way,” he replied as he started folding napkins and putting it inside the bag.
“And what if someone gets hurt during that time?” Eunhyuk froze for a split second and continued to pack. “I guess you’ll have to come back later on.”
“You know you can’t rewind things in real life,” Junsu said as he leaned against the counter. He took out the lollipop from his mouth and grabbed a piece of watermelon Eunhyuk had cut up. He had pretty good ‘housewife’ skills, from cleaning all the way to cooking. If it wasn’t for this bet, he would’ve made a really good housewife instead of a player.
“But you can always overwrite the ‘game.’ Make new memories.” Eunhyuk closed the bag and looked at Junsu. “You’re taking this too seriously. Relax a bit. Nothing’s going to happen.”
‘Oh, if only you knew.’ Junsu put the lollipop back in his mouth and patted Eunhyuk at the back. “Good luck.”
Eunhyuk said goodbye and closed the door shut behind him. Junsu let out a long sigh and went inside Yunho’s room. “You know, you’re teaching him too much wrong things.”
“Actually, I’m pretty much just testing him. I want to see if he’ll go in the path of the ‘game’ or the path of reality.” Junsu asked him what he meant by that. “I’m saying, Eunhyuk has to realize for himself what’s more important for him. He’s starting to like her you know. But I think it’s still too early.” “But it also might be too late,” Junsu added. Yunho nodded and stole Junsu’s lollipop.
~~~
After the picnic, Eunhyuk was getting closer and closer to Soyeon but he was actually distancing himself with his heart. Soyeon didn’t notice a thing because she was starting to like the new side of Eunhyuk but she didn’t know it was part of a technique he learned. She was thinking that it was all a dream that came into reality. She still spoke to him in that ill-mannered tone and harsh words but Eunhyuk had already discovered she uses it when she was embarrassed and other times it was just a habit of her talking like that. He was able to make her laugh, smile, and most of all, love.
* * * 2 DAYS LEFT `TIL THE BET/JUDGMENT DAY ! * * *
Soyeon looked up at the sky and squinted at the bright light.
“Why am I here beside you again?” she asked in a rhetorical way. Eunhyuk grinned beside her and slowly moved his hand closer to hers. She didn’t particularly HATE it, but she still wasn’t able to express her happiness like normal girls would.
“You know, you can just say that you love me, it’s FINE.” Eunhyuk finally grabbed her hand and lifted it up to the sky. Then he remembered something he’s watched before. “Have you seen that Japanese drama called Sky of Love? What’ll happen if that happened to us?”
“What, we fall in love, you get me pregnant, I lose my baby, you get cancer, I fall in love with some other person, and then I come back to you and then you die? Isn’t that kind of too dramatic?” Soyeon said with a cold voice.
“Ouch. You don’t have to put it like that. How about just leave it at ‘we fall in love.’ Isn’t that better?” he said, holding tightly on to her hand as they both tried to reach for the sky.
“Huh, I thought we were over that phase,” she said and looked away. She was blushing like crazy since she was holding his hand but she didn’t want him to tease her about it.
“No, I think we’re still in that phase. We’re still falling in love,” Eunhyuk said and sat up. The nice breeze felt nice. “Hey, should I dye my hair like the main character did?”
Soyeon rolled her eyes and sat up, too. She looked at their hands locked together, hoping that they would never have to let go. “Amazing how you can change my heart in just a matter of a few days.”
Eunhyuk chuckled but he didn’t say anything. He couldn’t say anything. Whatever words he’d utter may end the whole thing, whatever his goal was. It was no longer winning the bet but for a whole other reason that even he couldn’t comprehend.
“Eunhyuk-ah, what made you like me?” Soyeon asked, gazing into his eyes. She wanted to know an honest answer that came from the heart and that would show in his truthful eyes.
He used his free hand to caress her soft cheeks and smiled gently. It was a painful smile that told her that he couldn’t answer that at the moment and she was willing to wait.
“Let’s just stay like this for the rest of the day,” Soyeon said softly. Eunhyuk shook his head and hugged her tightly, closing his eyes as he stroked her silky hair.
“Let’s stay like this forever…” he whispered to the wind.
But forever was still far, far away. They had to go through Saturday before getting to forever. Eunhyuk knew nothing would stay for eternity, not even the most special moment in his heart.
* * * * * 1 DAY LEFT `TIL BET/JUDGMENT DAY * * * * *
“There’s no doubt about it, my young apprentice has really won Soyeon’s heart,” Yunho said proudly. But under that thick smile on his face, Junsu can tell he’s saying, “Hurry up and think about what’s important to you before you lose it!”
Eunhyuk hadn’t talked ever since he came in their apartment. Yunho noticed his mood but refused to tell him what he had to make a decision for. He had to think about that by himself. “OKAY! Should we celebrate? Junsu, this is counted right? That’s pretty much THREE GIRLS! And hey, should we invite Sungjin and Mihae, too? And hey, why not Soyeon t—“
“I’m leaving,” Eunhyuk said and headed towards the door. Yunho tsked and followed him. “Eunhyuk, why aren’t you happy? You’re WINNING this bet.”
“Eunhyuk-ah, did something happen between you and Soyeon?” Eunhyuk’s hand stuck on the doorknob but he didn’t make a move. He took a deep breath and shook his head then headed outside.
Eunhyuk walked quietly not necessarily going anywhere. His hands were in his pockets and his head was down as he was thinking deeply. ‘Why am I so unsatisfied? I’m pretty much set free…’
“Eunhyuk-ah? Oh, it is you!” he looked up to see a familiar brown-haired girl. “I haven’t seen you for so long! You haven’t contacted me in a while!”
“Oh, Sungjin-ah…” he said faintly. He couldn’t even fake an excited voice. He tried his best to use those facial muscles to smile. “Sorry, looks like I’ve been busy.”
“You sure have been. Hey, why don’t you come with me today? I get to go to this brand new set my dad has built. It’s going to be featured in one of those cool magazines!” Sungjin squealed. Eunhyuk was usually a nice guy but he couldn’t help but think that she was being so annoying. He wanted to refuse but she was already getting ahead of herself. ‘I didn’t have anything to do anyway. Maybe she could even give me free lunch,’ he thought.
“APPA!” Sungjin called out and pulled on Eunhyuk’s arms. “This is Eunhyuk, the guy I was telling you about. Isn’t he handsome?” Her dad shrugged and ignored him, unsure if he could trust him. Even he agreed in not trusting himself. “OHMYGOSH, isn’t that Soyeon, appa? She’s here??”
“Yeah, she’s just checking out if she likes this set. You know I used to think she was a spoiled brat unlike my daughter but she’s not so bad.” Eunhyuk’s eyes darted across the room to find Soyeon and there she was, standing with poise, staring back at him. He felt like something inside him had dropped.
“Eunhyuk? Is there something wrong? Let’s go greet Soyeon!” she pulled him with her towards the beautiful Soyeon who wore a dress, something girly and fancy, on her own. He wanted to pull away and rush towards her but he had no energy to.
“Soyeon-ssi! I’m Sungjin and I must say I’m a big fan! I wanted to become a model when I was younger but I’ve found my passion in dancing.” Soyeon smiled at her then looked at Eunhyuk. “Is he your boyfriend?”
What was Soyeong getting to? Sungjin blushed and glanced at Eunhyuk. “Well you could say that…” Soyeon’s smile stiffened, “but we’re not official. At least not yet, right Eunhyuk?”
“I see… well I hope for the best for the both of you. And good luck with your dancing,” Soyeon said in a very polite manner. This wasn’t how she usually spoke. She would’ve criticized them about something or totally ignored them or maybe had an excuse made up so that she didn’t have to talk to the fans.
“Soyeon…” Eunhyuk said. “Ah, Sungjin, will you wait? I’ll be back. My sister just wants an autograph from her.” Sungjin nodded as Eunhyuk jogged towards Soyeon.
“So is that the first girl you’re captured?” Soyeon asked without turning to him. “Yeah, but wait Soyeon. Are you mad?”
She stopped walking and looked at him. “Of course not. That was just for the bet right?” He sighed with relief and smiled a little. “Of course it was for the bet.”
“Exactly. I have to go now. I’ll see you sometime. And maybe your sister,” she said and pinched his cheek. She knew he had no sister and probably made up that lie just to get to her.
* * * BET’S OVER : JUDGMENT DAY ! * * *
“Where is she?” Eunhyuk asked as he glanced around the fancy restaurant. It’s the first time he’s made reservations and yet he was the one having to wait. Behind him, he heard girls whispering. ‘Yeah, yeah I know. I’m gorgeous, blah blah blah, stare all you want.’ He was being patient today since it was his time to officially say he was FREE.
“Hyuk!” Eunhyuk recognized his nickname and turned around, expecting to see Soyeon. But his smile quickly vanished as soon as he spotted Mihae in front of him. “It’s been a few days! I’ve missed you!”
She hugged him tightly while Eunhyuk wasn’t sure what to do. Then he looked by the door and found Soyeon standing there. She was slowly walking towards them when Mihae finally let go. “Hyuk, we should totally hang out more.”
“Hyuk…” Soyeon said in a quiet voice. Mihae turned around and saw Soyeon. She frowned since she didn’t like seeing famous people especially the good looking female models. “Oh Soyeon… you’re finally here.”
Just then, Junsu and Yunho appeared. Yunho clapped his hands and walked towards Eunhyuk with a huge grin. “EUNHYUK! THE MAN, THE PLAYER!” He then glanced at Soyeon and winked at her. “Guess who wins the bet tonight.”
“Yunho?” Mihae looked at him, astonished. Yunho smiled, “Don’t fall for me, Mihae. That’ll make me look like a bad guy!” Junsu stood there and was thinking that he was the bad guy but with good intentions.
“The bet…” Soyeon let out a small laugh. “I forgot all about that. This girl must be the second one… and the third…”
Before she could say who it was, there were tears already flowing down her cheeks. Yunho looked away. If there was one thing he couldn’t stand, it would be a girl’s tears. Eunhyuk looked uncomfortable for a while but he nodded anyway.
“Wait, wait. I was used for a bet?!” Mihae yelled. Yunho answered it for her. “UGH, that’s why I hate players!” She stormed out of the restaurant and caused a whole fuss. Everyone was staring at Eunhyuk, the famous model Soyeon, and the soon-to-be-REALLY-REALLY-EXTREMELY famous boys Yunho and Junsu. “Did that count as a win?” Yunho asked.
Soyeon began to laugh. Then she stopped and gave him a small, painful smile. “You’re right. You win the bet. You’ve made the young girl Sungjin fall for you, that pretty girl get hurt and put me in a state of humiliation with a broken heart. You’re the best. Even better than the one who taught you.”
She walked away without another word and left Eunhyuk there. Yunho and Junsu were staring at him with the thoughts, ‘Why are you just standing there?! Go after her and tell her how you feel!’ But he just stood there, looking at the door where Soyeon once stood.
