Second Chance At Forever v2.0
Dara's POV
The news that I've been dying to hear ever since I learned that Jiyong got into a relationship is now finally happening. Bom sent me a message that he informed Seunghyun that he already parted ways with Sohee. It seems that it will be the thing he is going to tell me tonight and even I don't want to feel relieved, it is what my heart feels. But I am not going to do anything about it. Because even Jiyong is now a single guy, I have no desire to pursue my feelings for him. Well, that's what I supposed to do.
Oh boy.
Then I got startled when my phone rings. As I checked the caller's name, I found myself smiling. It's JeongHoon, I've met him few weeks ago at the orphanage I've been helping for the past two years. Since I decided not to attend Auntie and Uncle's anniversary celebration, I just went to the orphanage and spend my whole day with the kids there. "Hello Hoon."
"Hi Dara, how are you?"
"I'm good. How about you?"
"Good as well. Did I disturb you?"
"No." Then I started to push the cart while looking around. "I am just buying some groceries. You need anything?"
He inhale deeply. "Well, I am just thinking if you are available tonight?"
I stopped pushing the cart as I found myself giggling. "Are you asking me out?"
He let out an embarrassed laugh. "Yeah. I just really wanted to know you more because I've been helping less fortunate people for almost a decade already and you belong to the few people that I felt real in helping others."
I smiled. "Thank you for that. However, I am not available tonight but I can skip working tomorrow night."
"Oh no need to do that. Can I see you in the afternoon instead?"
I smiled again. "Surely."
"It's a date then."
I laugh. It felt refreshing to have someone showing interest to me. Well, I deliberately avoid meeting other men back then because of Jiyong. Maybe it's time to try seeing others. "Yeah. See you."
"See you."
After the call ended, I smiled. Suddenly become excited on how Hoon and I will interact with each other tomorrow.
"Dara?" I got startled when I heard a familiar voice from my back and as I turned around, I got surprise to see Donghae. "How have you been?"
"Hae!? It's really you!" He laugh then we briefly hugged each other. "When did you come back?"
He scratched his head then smiled sheepishly. He was a close friend from grade school until high school then together with his family, they migrated to U.S. after graduation. "Just a week ago."
"Good to see you again. Are you living nearby?"
He nodded. "How about you?"
I smiled. "My apartment was just two blocks away from here."
"Really? My apartment as well."
I stared dumbfounded at him. A week ago, I saw a truck outside of the apartment beside mine and few men are going in and out that apartment, transferring different kind of furniture. "So you are that new neighbour?"
He grinned. "If you're apartment is number 5, then yes, we are neighbours. My apartment number is 6."
I gasped lightly. "Oh we are really neighbours!"
He laugh then playfully bow at her. "Hello Miss Park, let's be good neighbours to each other."
I laugh as well then handed my phone to him. "Save your number here."
After doing it, we both continue to buy until we both go back to our apartments. "Let's talk again soon."
"Yeah. I'll see you around." Then I entered my apartment. As I placed the grocery bags at my kitchen counter, my phone rings and frowned to see Jessie's name. "Do you need my help again?" I said as soon as I answered her call.
She laugh. "You're so mean. I called not because to ask for any song, the real boss wanted to meet you."
I groan. "I already told you that I don't want to associate myself with any people from your company."
She giggled. "Don't worry about it. The boss only wanted to meet you. Not for anything else. He was just simply curious about the person who always help me in times we encounter problem with our composers."
I sigh. Now I wonder why her boss wanted to see me. I've seen him on the news only and he was quite young and handsome. "When is it?"
"Now and I'll just send you a message where I will meet you."
"What!?"
She laugh again. "Come on, I'll wait for you within two hours, okay? See yah!"
And before I could even react, she already ended the call. I only sigh. After almost two hours, I reached a very high class hotel.
"Dara! Glad you made it." Jessie immediately hugged me as soon as I saw her at the lobby. "Ready?" Then she laugh as I quickly shake my head. "Don't worry.
