JIYONG’S POV


When Ms told her sister that she’ll go to the washroom, I knew that she was shaken to see me. That was more than enough for me. 


I made a vow to get back at her at any chance I’ll have, however I didn’t anticipate that the chance to get back at her will come too soon.


But the truth is, I have no fcuking plan. All I know is I can mercilessly with my presence and she can’t do anything about it. With the few encounters we’ve had and the expression on her face says it all. Her sister knows nothing about Little Miss ’s naughty adventures.


And now, she’s asking for a truce?


She’s seriously giving me the right to torture her? This just makes my day....




~oOo~




“Act as you normally would” Dara forces the next words like she was being tortured “Let’s pretend we don’t hate each other’s guts”


“I can do that” Jiyong lets go of her hand


Playfully chucking her chin, he winks at her and adds “Babe”


What will you do now, Ms Prude?


Jiyong walks away with an impish smile on his face, knowing that he disturbed the witch. Dara was left staring dumbfounded at his back as he walks away, taking a few more seconds before she moves. 


Did he just call me babe?!?!? 


She was still bewildered as they head towards the doors of the theater. Dara suddenly remembers something important.


With the millions of people in Korea I could possibly be with right this moment, why should it be HIM?!?!?


Right before they entered the dark interiors of the theater, Dara hesitantly grabbed the edge of Jiyong’s shirt, stopping him from moving. She hates what she’s about to do, but there’s no other choice. 


Jiyong glances back when he felt her stopped from walking and tugs the edge of his shirt. He looks on with question in his eyes.


And for some reason, he finds it amusing to see her flustered and looking lost. Her cheeks tainted with a natural flush, eyes averted and nibbling her pink, luscious looking lips.


“I need your help. I can’t see well in the dark” 


She says this in a low whisper even a normal being with superb hearing would have difficulty understanding it. Surprising himself. He smiles inwardly at her discomfort. He knew it’s not the moment of weakness she hates but the fact that HE is there to see it is what’s troubling her. And how he relish on this fact.


I’ll make you squirm from my charms….bwahahaha


He walks one step backward so that they are standing side by side. Dara is looking at him perplexed. He hears her sharp intake of breath the instant one of his arms went around and settled on her tiny waist, and his other hand, rests at her elbow. 


“Let’s go” Jiyong says cheerfully.


Taken aback by this action, Dara walks with him beside her. She kept darting quick glances at Jiyong, as if to check if he would show any signs of being mentally deranged. Dara was too preoccupied looking out for Jiyong that she paid no attention to what’s in front of her. Missing a step, she stumbles and would’ve fallen if Jiyong’s arm wasn’t supporting her at her waist.


Dara could feel her face turning hot, upon realizing how close their bodies were. Jiyong now has both his arms encircling her waist, while she has one arm slung over his neck and the other grabbing one of his arms. 


“You know, you could’ve avoided this” Jiyong’s breath fans her heated face, as he adds teasingly “If you were paying more attention on where you’re walking than on me”


Dara straightens, quickly putting a distance between her and Jiyong. And mustered all the indignation she could to spat out a retort “I certainly am not looking at you. You’re so full of yourself again” 


Jiyong smirks as he watches Dara stomp off ahead of him, he followed soon and when she missed out on the row where they’ll be seated. His hand shoots out to grab her by the elbows, stopping Dara from taking another step forward.


“What?” Annoyance in her voice, Dara turns to face Jiyong.


Jiyong states matter of factly in a calm voice “You’ll miss out on our seats” Before pointing it out with his index finger


“I know where our seats were.” Dara blushes again “I’m just trying to see if you knew”


Jiyong couldn’t help but chuckle. Shaking his head, he proceeded to their seats. They were arranged as Bom, Seunghyun, him, and Dara. Seunghyun hands him the second bucket of popcorn and the two plastic cups of soda. Jiyong settles comfortably on his seat, he sees Dara at the side looking grim and all tensed up.


“Lighten up will you” Jiyong leans over to whisper in Dara’s ear “You look like someone who’s about to be sent in front of a firing squad”


Dara shivers at the hot breath that tickled her ear, when he whispered. Moving slightly she glared at him 


“I would relax if you start acting like we agreed to” Whispering still “Stop flirting with me. It’s giving me the creeps!”


“But I am acting as normal as I am. I’m keeping up with the deal”


When did he start being smart? 


“Fine! Just don’t get too touchy with me”


“Why? You scared that you’ll fall for my charms?” Jiyong teases while wiggling his eyebrows.


Dara in reply just rolled her eyes at him and acted like she was on the verge of throwing up. 




~oOo~




Unbeknownst to the two, Seunghyun and Bom were looking at them, amusement apparent on their faces. They were staring at the two whose heads were close together, and seemed to be having an intimate conversation from the looks of it.


“Aaaw~ honey” Bom cooed in a whisper, grasping one of Seunghyun’s hands “Look! I’ve never seen Dara be so animated.”


Seunghyun still feels nervous but glad that Jiyong seems to be doing a good job at having Dara entertained. “Yeah, this is the first time I saw her look like that”


Bom snuggles closer to Seunghyun as much as their chairs would allow them to be. Cupping a hand to his ear, Bom drawls out what could be the most poetic words Seunghyun has ever heard in his life “Tonight, I’ll make you the happiest man alive”


Those eight words were music to his ears. Seunghyun offered a small silent prayer.


God! Thank you for the miracle you did on Jiyong!


Seunghyun turns his head slightly to where Jiyong sits, tears misting in his eyes.


Jiyong! Please forgive your hyung for undermining your abilities as a player. Just keep on what you’re doing right now with Dara. After tonight, I’ll forever be your slave.


He shivered as Bom gave his ear a playful bite before she settled comfortably in her seat, bringing his arms over her, and resting her head on his shoulders. Seunghyun stares blankly at the screen, with a big, goofy smile on his face, anticipating the long night ahead of him. A night in paradise with his bunny.




~oOo~




The second the film’s title flashed on the screen, Dara couldn’t help but groan inside. The first movie in the double feature that will play is a horror movie. She freaking hates horror movies! 


Have I been so cruel in my previous lifetime that I’m being punished now?


As the movie played, she barely moved. She hardly even blinks! Determined to not give Jiyong a reason to laugh at her if she acted like her normal self. If she was acting normal, her legs would be up in the seat and she’d already be cowering.


Jiyong could feel how tense Dara is.


So little Miss is a scaredy cat! This would be fun


He raises his left arms as if he was stretching it then slowly and casually places it down on the back of her seat. 


“Place that down” Dara hissed, an eyebrow rose in challenge, she slightly faces him as she shows the cup of soda in her hand, tipped towards his lap “And I’ll pour this cold soda down your pants!”


“I thought you said act normal?”


“I did. But the way you’re acting is no way near how a normal human being acts”


“Well, excuse me”Jiyong pulls his hand back “THIS is the normal me”


Jiyong decides to just go grab some popcorn and began munching on it.


Damn this girl! I should be the one who’s pissing her off but she’s the one grating on my nerves!


Annoyed that the tables have been turned, he just sat back and enjoyed watching the movie. Totally ignoring the girl beside him. 



The movie was progressing, but it wasn’t as scary as Dara thought it would be. Dara even starts plucking some popcorn from the bucket in Jiyong’s lap, unaffected even when their hands touched. Her eyes glued to the screen. Little did she know the movie have some surprises in store. 


The camera was focused on another part of the screen, the same spot where the lead actress was looking at, a shadow passes by from the hallway. Dara slightly jumped at the scene, but she wasn’t scared much, unsure if she did see a shadow. She leans a bit more forward. Seconds later, a bloody faced woman with long disheveled hair came to the screen. Frightened out of her wits, she unconsciously hugs Jiyong. Tightly.


Her arms linked around his left arm, as she nuzzles his neck. Taken aback by Dara’s sudden action, Jiyong froze in his seat. Once he did, a smirk appeared on his face, he was about to give her a teasing remark, when he heard her sniffle.


Instinctively his right hand moved up, rested it against her shoulder.


“Hey” He whispered “The scene’s over”


Dara kept sniffling, burying her face against his neck more. Jiyong felt something. By this time he should’ve already been awkward, but he wasn’t. Instead, he found himself patting her back gently to calm her down.


Once Dara was composed, she pulled away from Jiyong muttering a quiet “Thank you”


Somehow, Jiyong wanted Dara in her usual snappy state than seeing her cry. He saw her nose red.


“Yah!” He said, his voice teasing “you look like rudolph!” Then poke at Dara’s nose, which indeed was red.


Slapping gently his hand away “i’m not in the mood”


Dara settled in her seat once again, as far as possible from Jiyong, and began to sulk. He let her, relieved that she got her spunk back. 


The second film began to roll on the screen. It’s a romantic movie.


Oh great. Yipee! Another genre I am fond of. Unnie’s really out to torture me....


Not even a quarter of the movie passed, Dara was already feeling drowsy. 


Ugh. The medicine’s making me feel drowsy.


Her eyes felt heav and her body was swaying near Jiyong’s side. When her head landed on Jiyong’s shoulders, she was fast asleep.




~oOo~




JIYONG’S POV


She's still sleeping on my shoulder, with the little light coming from the screen. It gave me a chance to stare intently at her face, for the second time.


My eyes were glued to her pink lips. The very same lips I've tasted for three times. 


It was as if I’m being tugged by an invisible rope, my head is drawing near hers. Slowly, I’m covering the distance that separated her lips from mine....




~oOo~



Something felt amiss. 


Dara's eyes fluttered open, only to be susprised to see Jiyong's head only a centimeter away from hers, their lips almost touching!


She held her breath, as she assessed the situation.


“Move an inch and I’ll make sure you’ll be the last Kwon in your generation!” She mumbled, careful not to move her lips much so that it won’t touch his.


Hearing her words, broke through Jiyong’s trance. He straightens up in his seat.


“Ha! Just so you know, you were the one who kept going near me” Scoffing to cover his embarrassment at having been caught in an awkward position “You’re not exactly sleeping beauty. Kiss? You wish!”


“You’re not prince charming material”





~oOo~




Once the movie ended, Dara couldn’t wait but leave for home. Bom has other plans though


“Dara, we’re going to have dinner. There’s a table booked for us”


“Unnie, can i just go home? I really am feeling sick”


More sick for having endured four hours with the ert!


Bom looked at Dara intently “We’ll just have a fast dinner”


“But”


“Tamtam”


Dara could only sigh. She knows when to raise the white flag. 




~oOo~




The four went to a nearby restaurant. 


Jiyong was seated right in front of Dara. To annoy her, he accidentally bumps his knees against hers under the table.


Dara’s eyes turn to slits, giving him a silent warning. 


Can't react now,witch?


He only gave her a smug smile that seems to issue ‘make me’ challenge. Jiyong went on teasing Dara using his feet under the table. Dara was tempted to kick him, but was stopping herself.


“Dara, I’ll have you start after a week. My secretary will still go to work for next week.”


“Thank you”



The soup was served.


"Why did you quit your job?" Seunhyun asks out of the blue.


Bom glanced at Dara "Yeah, you never told us the reason why you quit. And as I can remember, you do love your job"


You’ll regret harassing me jerk!


"Why did I quit my job?" Dara then stares with pensive eyes at Jiyong, who was at that moment taking a spoonful of the hot soup "Because my boss is a maniac!"


Right after the words were out of , Jiyong slurped the hot soup so fast it burned a trail in his throat. He began to cough.


“Are you ok Jiyong-ssi?” Dara asks feigning a concern look on her face


Serves you right, prick!


“I’m...” cough “ok…”cough


Jiyong grabs the glass of water and drinks it until it’s half full. Before he gave her a seething glare. 


Bom and Seunghyun are oblivious to the rising tension between the two. They even added fuel to the fire, instead of dousing it, while it’s only starting.


“So, you mean to say, you’re boss made a move on you?” Bom inquires


Dara blushes at the question, especially when her former boss, is right smack in front of her!


“Uhmmm... not really”


“You might’ve mistaken his actions” Jiyong interjects


“Excuse me?” Dara straightens in her seat “Are you trying to insinuate something?”


“No, I’m not”


“I think you are”


“Well, how sure are you that during the time he was hitting at you? Maybe you’re just imagining it. Are you even his type?”


“He’s a jerk! And even if HE wasn’t hitting on me like what you’re saying, his joke was not funny!” Dara’s face is now red. 


“You’re a spoilsport”


“He’s a disgrace for mankind”


“Are.... we missing something here?” Seunghyun asks, butting into the heated discussion


“No!” Both Jiyong and Dara yells even turning their heads towards Seugnhyun, with scowls both on their faces.


Rasing his hands up, Seunghyun says “Ok. I’m just asking. Cool it, you two”


The two did stop bickering but another battle began. Now it’s a stare off challenge. Bom and Seunghyun were switching glances between the two, confused with what seems to be happening.


“Honey, are you sure, this is the first time they met?” Bom asks Seunghyun.


Whispering back “I never heard your sister’s name from Jiyong. So i guess that’s the case”


“Eh?” Bom purses her lips “But why do I feel like they already know each other?”


Seunghyun just shrugs his shoulders. A thought pops in his head, worry written on his face.


“Honey, you already gave your word about tonight. There’s no backing out ok?” 


“Of course” Bom drawls huskily before turning her attention to Jiyong and Dara.



The stare off battle would’ve taken longer if not for the ringing of Dara’s phone.


Dara grabs it from her purse and without taking her eyes off Jiyong she snaps “Hello!”


“Oppa!” Swiftly breaking her gaze from Jiyong, her face brightening and her lips forming a sweet smile once she recognized the caller’s voice.


Oppa?!?!?


Jiyong's brows furrowed even more as he sees how giddy Dara is over the caller.
