CHAPTER 3: "BLACK GRAPE PIE "

JAY' S P.O.V. 

We spent the remaining plane ride without talking to each other. I took the time to think if the situation was as bad as I imagined it. Yes I had a three week date with a stranger and I definitely had no way out of it, if I did not want my friend to look bad in front of the guy she has been crushing for years now. This is completely breaking my rules I have lived by them for a very long time. I don' t like this but Pye looked so excited when she convinced me to come. I can endure this for three weeks, it' s not like she married me off to a stranger and I don' t have to break my rules at all. I won' t fall for someone in 3 weeks and he doesn't have to know my secret. Worst case scenario- we hit it off, best case scenario- he is not my type, but either way it' s a goodbye at the end of vacation. What if he is a creep or a jerk? Naa...Pye would have investigated him as much as she could and N turned out to be nice, I wouldn't be logical that his friend wasn't. I lost my train of thought when the stewardess said we had arrived. I started to get up but Pye pulled me back down to my seat. 

" What the hell?" I said as I landed in my seat with a bounce. " I' m sorry I did not think this through or thought about you would feel so if you want me to cancel this whole thing and go home..." I interrupted her. 

" I know this means a lot to you. I am not mad but I am a little disappointed. I came to have fun so that can be done with 2 or 4 people, I' ll play along as long as this guy behaves himself and at the end of this trip I don' t want to hear another word about him out of you or any other guy for that matter. We agreed?" In a blink of the eyes she hugged me and I hugged her back. Just like that our fight was over. " Now tell me all you know about my ' date' for this trip" I said as we got off the plane, I wasn't going to get any more surprises. 

" His name is Jung Taek Woon, he is 25 years old, he is a singer by profession but he works composing and modeling when he has time." She said this with a huge smile on his face. " Korean, Singer, Model and Composer...sounds interesting. What else?"

 Jung Taek Woon, better known as Leo (I do not own this image)

I liked his profile so far, he had to be handsome if he was a model and he had to have a great voice to go along with the looks, a composer - that lead me to think he could not be an air head. 

" Well N told me that he is taller than him and that he is good at sports, likes food even though he extremely fit and that he is a complete gentleman." I will have to see for myself! She was smiling again as we were claiming our luggage. No guy could be so great. 

" He can' t be all perfect, come on tell me some flaws already." I was expectant. 

" I wouldn't say flaws, more like barriers, N says he is really reserved, almost always stone cold silent and that he does not play hard to get, he is hard to get...to a level that can be compared to apathy."

After she finished she bit down on her tongue, there was something else she wanted to add. My eyes asked what I didn't say. Tell me! " Well it' s just that, that description reminded me of well...you."

She had that right and it made my plan for this trip easier if he was unwilling as well! We were now waiting for the rented car to arrive I thought everything she said over and over. Description is flawless but nothing can break my resolve. "That is the biggest problem is that we sound too alike... well maybe he will let his apathy be the best of him and leave me alone."

Then a thought ran through my mind and I dreaded it. OMG! " What did you tell him about me? He knows you set him up right?" I' m not dealing with a pissed off version of myself! " 

He probably found out just like you did, N said it took him a month to convince him to even come." Then she laughs outright chuckled. 

"I didn't say much about you I just sent a picture of you for him and gave a few general details." "What picture?" Please not be the one I' m thinking about.

"The picture of you in the aqua party dress that you used for our graduation dinner, the one I took of you outside reading while everyone was inside partying. Describes you perfectly- Beautiful, Artistic, Serious and Introverted. You look like a model, with the wind in your hair and the moonlight shining highlighting your pretty eyes." 

"Trust Pye to turn my life inside out. I had so much information in my head that I felt like I had just fell in a Black Hole, too deep to get out and so dark it was disorienting."

Pye' s P.O.V. 

This could not stay this way and I had to do something, so as everyone started to get off the plane. I pulled on Jay' s arm to keep her from leaving. " What the hell?"

She didn't sound so upset any more. " I' m sorry I did not think this through or thought about you would feel so if you want me to cancel this whole thing and go home..." I told her hopping she would forgive me. 

"I know this means a lot to you. I am not mad but I am a little disappointed. I came to have fun so that can be done with 2 or 4 people I' ll play along as long as this guy behaves himself."

We hugged and the fight was over. " Now tell me all you know about my ' date' for this trip"

The curiosity spilling all over her words. We went through the process of getting our things and I detailed everything I knew about Leo. Everything seemed to be going fine and she seemed interestingly relaxed until I mentioned the picture. 

" What picture?" She asked glaring at me. To confess the truth Hak Yeon visited me at home more than once and Jay does not know this. The second time he came he spoke to me of his friend Leo and I realized that they had a serious bromance that reminded me of Jay and I. When I first heard his description, I thought he was a typical bad boy. Hak Yeon laughed at me while showing me a picture of Leo. It was a black and white picture in which he was playing a grand piano he looked nothing like what I expected. Hak Yeon and I went to an Ice cream parlor and Leo called him while we were ordering. They spoke for a while in Korean and then Hak Yeon looked at me funny. When we were at our table, he put the call on speaker and I heard a very soothing voice greeting me. We ended up talking for awhile and I didn't know what to think of him anymore. After the phone call, Hak Yeon asked me where was Jay. Naturally I told him she was at work. (Always working!) This made him laugh and tell me that his Leo does the same exact thing, work and no fun it would be interesting for them to meet. I had an idea, I took out " the picture" out of my purse and handed it to him. It was a picture I really liked of Jay and I told him to give it to Leo. Hak Yeon saw where I was going with this and asked me to write a description of her to go along with the picture.

This is how the set up began and months after we had all the details planned. Coming back from that memory I simply answered Jay by telling her: " The picture of you in the aqua party dress that you used for our graduation dinner, the one I took of you outside reading while everyone was inside partying. Describes you perfectly- Beautiful, Artistic, Serious and Introverted. You look like a model, with the wind in your hair and the moonlight shining highlighting your pretty eyes." 

"I chose that particular picture because I loved it, it really turned out amazing and I knew it was a great bait to hunting the Lion. This was the same strategy I used to get my way around Jay, give her a delicious black grape pie and she does anything I want."
