Chapter 8 - Play Cupid

                Hi.. this is Donghae. I got your number from a friend. I just want to tell you that we enjoyed the lunch earlier. You girls are awesome. We’re looking forward to another meal again with you girls especially Siwon.. kekeke.. ^^(Donghae’s text message to Dara)

“Hey what’s with the plurals? We, we’re? And especially me??” Siwon’s eyebrow rose “Why me?!”

“Well... I know you enjoyed it don’t you? I know you got something on Bom I can see it in your eyes.” Donghae said to the annoyed Siwon. He showed his text message to Dara to Siwon to ask for advice since Siwon is not a blabber mouth unlike Hyukjae. Siwon can keep a secret better than Hyukjae.

“Well... she’s beautiful and nice...but hey!” he snarled at him. “You still shouldn’t have told her that.”

“Mian...” he put his hands together as if begging for forgiveness from Siwon. “... I don’t know how to make the text message look more casual that’s why I decided to put your name on it.. since it’s obvious to everyone that you are the one who enjoyed it the best,” he smiled at him.

“Is it that obvious??” he asks his face filled with worry now.

Donghae just nods in response.

“Oh shoot...” Siwon clasped his forehead.

“Don’t worry I think she likes you too,” he gave him a reassuring nod.

“Really??” he asks excitedly.

“Yeah...I’m 100% sure about that...” and he smiled teasingly. “....so now... can you help me on Dara?”

“You brat! I won’t forget what you did... but okay I will help you,” he placed his arms around Donghae’s shoulders.

DARA’S POV:

“Kyaaaah....Bommie Bommie Bommie....” I screamed while holding my phone in the air running towards Bom’s room.

I slammed her door open and shut it with a loud thud.

I plop on her bed and shook her wildly.

“Bommie.. Bommie... Bommie....” i screamed at her trying to wake her up.

She peeks from under her covers.

“Gaaaaagh Dara you scared me?!” she screamed at me while throwing her blanket to sit up.

Well... she’s eating corn again from under her blanket.

She’s been restricted to eat corn since she is on a diet, but being a corn headed that Bom is. She will surely find a way to eat her precious corns.

“How did you manage to sneak those in?” my eyes widened at her.

“Well.. you know me... I have my ways,” She smiled at me as she toss the empty can of corn into the trash bin.

“So what’s all the commotion about?” she asked.

I smiled at her widely and shove my phone in front of her.

She took it and I motioned her to read the message.

I was watching her facial expression as she read the message.

Her face started to lit up and I am preparing now to cover my ears as a.....

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!”

....a loud defeaning screech is expected to follow.

I know her too well kekeke.

“Gaaaah... Dara...I told you... he likes you!!!” she shook me.

My brows furrowed.

“Eh?? Why me... read it carefully unnie.”

“What do you mean why me. He texted you!” she rolled her eyes at me.

“I think you got it all wrong. Look here...” I took the phone from her “..we’re looking forward to having dinner with you girls especially Siwon.” I read the message aloud.

“And?” she asked confused.

“Oh for God’s sake unnie... it’s obvious that Siwon likes you!!”

“Really??” her eyes show excitement.

“Oh my unnie.. you didn’t notice it? Of all people??” I rolled my eyes at her.

“Hey... if you’re joking Dara I swear I’ll strangle you and I will throw Tam tammie outside this house!” she screamed at me.

“Yah... unnie... I’m not giving you false hopes here. I think Siwon uses Donghae to deliver a message to you.” I wink at her.

“You better be sure about this Dara or else...” she glared at me.

“Trust me on this one unnie...” I smiled at her.

"Trust you eh? I doubt that.. you don't even know when somebody likes you." she mutter under her breath but still I was able to catch it.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"Nothing." she replied. 

******************

Dara drags Bom towards the main entrance of the restaurant.

“Yah.. Dara will you hold on for a second?” says Bom while gasping for breath.

Dara stops and turns to Bom.

“Unnie.. were late.. being late is not nice.” Dara said while pulling the hands of the older one who in return pulls her back.

“Let’s rest for a bit… please? I can’t face them like this,” She shows Dara her sweaty forehead. “Let’s make them wait for one more minute…” she smiled at me as she dabs powder on her nose.

“One more minute? They’ve been waiting for almost 30 minutes already unnie… that isn’t fair.” Dara rolled her eyes at her.

“Don’t you know that we are supposed to arrive thirty minutes late on a date? Tzk tzk Dara.. I should give you a crash course on dating.” She said waving her forefinger at me.

“Oh that’s very unethical.. were 30 minutes late thanks to you and I think that’s enough.” And with that she took the press powder from Bom and drags her inside the restaurant.

“Hey no need to drag me…” Bom screams.

DARA’S POV:

The waiter approaches us as soon as he saw us. He smiles at us.

“Good evening maam.. do you have a reservation?” he said politely.

“Ah.. yes… by the name of Choi Siwon.” I said letting go Bom’s hands.

The waiter smiled meaningfully.

“Ah yes.. this way Maam,” he shows us the way and motion us to follow.

He led us to the second floor of the restaurant where VIP rooms are located.

He knocks on the fifth door to the right.

Someone answered inside and the waiter opens the door.

We saw Siwon in handsome white polo paired with black denim jeans. He smiled as soon as he saw us. Donghae on the other hand is sitting across
