It was raining very heavily.

Raindrops that swept the clear glass in front of her made her blink -bringing her back from reverie...

"Omo. It's already this late?!" A girl with hazel brown eyes shouted after looking at the clock on the wall. Hurriedly, she chose to move out of her comforting zone in the corner cafe and walk out, accompanied by the sound of a tinkling bell that echoed loudly.

Sandara Park, standing still as she hugged her body in front of the Italian cafe at Seogyo-Dong. The seoul city night air that was getting so cold made her press against her pink velvet jacket. That night, for some reason she felt bored at home so decided to take a walk. Of course, Jaejoong was very insistent in forbidding her to go alone, but Dara's far more stubborn than he had ever imagined since they were born.

She repeatedly glanced at the watch on her wrist, and cursed herself inwardly as she should be ready later for a long tirade from Jaejoong for staying out too late. "Ah.. I didn't bring umbrella. Eotteokhae? Oppa would definitely angry.." then she grabbed her purse and took her cell phone out. "Andwae.. aish. Now the battery runs out!" Dara stamped her foot, bothered after staring at her cell phone screen. She observed her surroundings, and saw couples everywhere. Well, of course, this is new year's eve! And it's definitely bleak for Dara to imagine. Some girls now be seen giggling and hanging onto their boyfriend's arm -spoiled, while occasionally whispering, maybe they told them about how she spent two hours to dress up, or "I'm very happy, oppa!" 

Aah...

How laughable.

Dara sighed. Suddenly she remembered the incident a few days ago, when Jiyong hugged her in the park behind the school. That day, she almost confessed to him. She looked down, thankful that she didn't.

Don't.

Not now.

He belongs to Sulli, and Dara respected them.

"Aish...molla."

The rain slowly subsided..

A small smile tugged at her beautiful lips. That meant she could walk home with a feeling of relief even if she had to hurry.

She had just walked past the row of shops in Seogyo-Dong that were fairly busy when her eyes locked on a very familiar figure from a distance.

"Ji .." she said spontaneously.

That guy was seen standing on the curb -leaning on an iron barrier, taking a sip of his drink that he held in his right hand while the other one inserted into one side of his coat pocket. Dara approached him with feelings that were mixed and painted as she imagined a smile on his face. Jiyong was staring straight across the road where he was standing, observing some rabbit dolls lined up neatly. Occasionally, he smiled.

"Hey, Ji." Dara said now standing beside him. The guy suddenly turned around, but immediately frowned looking at her.

"Heol, what are you doing here? It's almost midnight, Dara."

She shrugged, "I just got out of the cafe, simsimhae sseo. Neo wae yeogi isseo? It's almost midnight too, Jiyong-ah." *i'm bored, why are you here?

"I'm a guy. Being alone in the middle of the night isn't a problem. But you?" he said as he raised an eyebrow, made her pout cutely. "Come here." Jiyong pulled her left arm and p
