CHAPTER 21

---------------------------------

“Noona…you have to listen to me…” Seungri said.

“Yah.. why do I have to listen to you??”

“Because your future depends on this noona.”

“My future?? Yah! stop messing with my future..it’s already crumbling down before me!!”

“That’s why I am here to help you…”

“Help?? By blind dating again?? NO.” I said firmly. After the first blind date I already learned my lesson and that is, NEVER TO TRUST SEUNGRI AGAIN.

“Please noona….” Seungri kneeled down in front of me his palms pressed together, begging.

I sighed. I think I lost 10 years of my life because of him. Gaah….. why is he so persistent in getting me a boyfriend? Do I look that pitiful??

“Okay 10 seconds…” I said coz i know that he wont stop.

“30??”

“Fine… 20… timer starts now… 20……19....18….”

“Ahh… nooona….” He cried.

“17…..16……” I continued not minding him.

“Fine. Jiyong hyung, TOP hyung, Donghae-sshi and Jaejoong-sshi. They all like you.”

“thi…thir…thireennn…what?????!!!” I exclaimed shock was all over my face. I just hope that my ears were just playing tricks on me.

But I guess they are not.

“Jiyong hyung, TOP hyung, Donghae-shi and Jaejoong-sshi, they all like you noona. We’ll I am not sure with Jaejoong-sshi since he didn’t ask for my help but I included him in my list because I can see that he likes you.”

“What? Wait, hold on…. My brain cells are too lazy to process it… what list?? What help…??”

He smiled widely at me before he spoke.

“Donghae-sshi approached me first asking for help..he asked me if he can date you. I agreed because I am really CONCEEEEEERNED about you noona. Then Top hyung and Jiyong hyung asked me too. I wasn’t really surprised with them since the two are so obvious.. I don’t know why you didn’t notice it. They are quite obvious you know.” He said with matching shrugging of shoulders.

I was like..... O_o for a couple of minutes.

The new found information from Seungri literally killed all the neurons in my brain. How in the world am I supposed to believe that?? Especially if it came from Seungri’s mouth.

“And the l-list that you were talking about…” I stammered.

“Ah the list!! Yes…yes…yes….wait let me show you…” he said enthusiastically. He pulled a little notebook from his pocket and flipped through its pages. I have a bad feeling about that little notebook of his. Everything that Seungri does is scary, and everything that his tiny brain comes up with is dangerous!!!

“Here….” he showed me something like a table with plus (+) and minus (-) signs. There were also funny drawings of Jiyong, TOP, Donghae and Jaejoong. Wait… Jaejoong??

“Hey..why is Jae in the list??” I asked.

“Oh.. I just included him since I can feel that he likes you too.” He said simply.

“What?? No don’t include him in that list…what if he doesn’t like me?? That’s embarrassing…he is just simply helping me.”

“Oh noona..don’t you trust me??”

“I don’t”

“I know what I am doing so chill…”

“Chill?? After the bomb that you just laid out on me… my gahd Top and Jiyong plus Donghae?? How am I supposed to chill??” I am already starting to panic. Eotteokke what to do?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Dara’s POV:

After that conversation with Seungri, not a single second was I not thinking about his list. Tabi, Jiyong?? What on earth?? I never would’ve thought!!

Seungri, yes... our little Seungri noticed it but me... not a hint. Now back to that date scheduling of his. That panda, after a long and stressful debate with him he finally convinced me about his scheduled dating. And yes… Donghae is scheduled today.

I can still remember our supposed to be first date which I ruined because I was so naïve about his feelings and I am still scared to date again. I suddenly felt ashamed of myself.

I wonder what made him like me to the point of asking Seungri’s help, of all people he asked Seungri!

“Dara-sshi…” Donghae called.

“Hmmm??” I answered not taking my eyes away from the bottled water in my hand.

“Seungri told you everything right??”

My heart leaped up to my throat that it almost choked me. How can dating be this stressful for me?? I need Bom T_T.

I nodded vigorously in response.

“Are you scared of me??” he suddenly asked.

My head immediately shot up. “No. What made you think that??”

“Because you’re not looking at me… and it’s kind of bothersome…”

“Oh…” a pang of guilt bit me. Yah stupid Dara! “I’m sorry.. I’m still not used to this kind of set up plus… I am still in shock because of… of… you know..” I smiled at him wryly.

“Then forget everything that Seungri told you and let’s start everything from the top.”

“How are we going to do that??” I asked confused.

He suddenly stood up from his chair and bowed 90 degrees at me.

“Annyeonghaseyo I am Lee Donghae of Super Junior oaeyo…” and he showed me the Super Junior pose. I laughed when he did that. He was so cute!!

I stood up from my chair and bowed 90 degrees just like what he did.

“Annyeonghaseyo I am Sandara Park the fresh vocals of 2ne1.”

“My pleasure to meet you Ms. Park…” he bowed like a prince.

“Me too.. you can just call me Dara instead…” I chuckled.

“Then Dara it is…”

I leaned closer to him, “We look stupid here don’t you think??”

“A bit.” He whispered back. “Do you want to see Super Junior perform??”

“What do you mean??”

He smiled at me. “Let’s go….”

“Where??”

“Just trust me…” he winked at me.

-------------------------------------------------------

SEUNGRI’S POV:

TOP hyung was driving like crazy following Donghae’s car. I was holding the seatbelt for my dear life praying that my body parts will still be intact once I get out of this damn car. I swear I’ll just take a taxi to go home!!

“Damn…I lost the car!” Top hyung hissed hitting the steering wheel and parking at the side of the street.

“Thank God…” I quickly unbuckled my seatbelt and went out of the car before he protests.

“Where are you going??” he asked.

“I’m taking the taxi!!” I screamed and shut the door.

As soon as I stepped out of the car, Jiyong hyung’s car parked behind my car. Wait…. Top hyung is using my car…why the hell am I the one who’s taking a cab right now??

“Yah Seungri….” Jiyong hyung called.

I hastened my pace ignoring him. He will just threaten to kill me and butcher me or anything that involves knife and blood. I know he is pissed with me right now. So going back to BIGBANG’S apartment is a very bad idea. I should go to my mom’s house instead.

“Yah! You little panda come back here!! We’re not done with you yet…” came Top hyung’s voice. 

I run full speed ahead; you don’t know how murderous my hyungs are when they are pissed. I quickly hailed the cab that I saw and ordered the taxi driver to drive as fast as he can. I look back at my hyungs who were running after my taxi. I stuck out my tongue at them, “Bleeeeh….” and I laughed victoriously inside the cab.

---------------------------------------------

DARA’S POV:

We entered a fine dining restaurant. You know those kinds of restaurants where there is membership and only members can dine? I was at awe in everything that I am seeing. Surely Donghae knows how to impress his date.

“Is this the place where you were supposed to take me before??” I asked him. I was holding on to his arm as we walk along the corridor. He gave me princess like treatment from the start. He offered me his arm to hold on and he was watching my every step afraid that I might trip to something.

He was good mannered, gentle, prim; everything in him is nice and good. He is like a perfect prince that every girl is dreaming. He’s too perfect.

“Yes, I was really sad when you turned down my offer and went home…” he pouted.

And yes, he knows how to be cute too!!

Gosh.. my heart can only handle a little awesomene
