Author’s POV

 

 

Three people are now heading out of the club. Jiyong is tightly caging in his arms the still trembling Dara followed by Seungri.

TOP and Se7en are both still inside negotiating with the club manager for the damages they made.

 

“That’s more than enough for the broken tables.” TOP handed out a large chunk of bills to the old guy.

“We intentionally paid you more so that you can do us a big favor.” Se7en added.

The manager looked at the two curiously after that statement.

“Be sure to not let Han Byul and Ssantokki enter this place ever again…I know Han Byul have a contract with you and I’m buying her way out of it…” Se7en warningly continued.

TOP widens his eyes and his face carved with seriousness,“Just make sure that Han Byul and Dara knows nothing of this. We’ll give Han Byul a new job and Dara… with what happened today, she’ll be wise enough to not go anywhere near here…”

The manager gulped in fear but managed to stutter, “..n..ne..neh..”

“Good!”TOP hung his arm on the old man shoulders and lightly tapped his cheek. “You know what will happen if something like this happens again right?!”

The old guy nodded in panic.

 

 

“Hyung! Let’s go!”Seungri shouted as he entered the club again to call on the two.

 

 

“TOP, that’s enough. He’s gonna pee in his pants if you utter another word” Se7en mockingly remarked. “Come let’s go… Ssantokki and Jiyong are already outside.”

TOP laughed at this. He let go of the man and slowly followed Se7en to the door.  But before he got out, he throws a deathful glare at the manager and mouthed, “Don’t forget!” With that gesture, the manager got down on his knees as his entire being wobbled in fear having to be stared at by that pair of fearsome deep dark eyes.

Dara’s POV

 

 

“Jiyong you could let go of me now.” I couldn’t help but blush as I said those words. Jiyong had me in his arms (as if supporting me) from the moment he let go the guy he was beating up earlier up to this moment. Jiyong serious face looked at me for a second and then back to the door of the club, but instead of releasing, he tightens his embrace. ‘I just hope he doesn’t feel my fast heartbeats. And why in the hell is my heart beating like this in the first place?’

He’s obviously mad about the incident but he didn’t scold me or anything like that. I don’t want to be seen in such awful state like that in the club especially by the Bigbang, but I didn’t imagine in my wildest dreams I will be thankful that they were there.

I pouted as I again remember putting myself into trouble and saved again by this jerk I don’t want to be indebted to ever. But with what he did earlier, I’ll let all his jerkiness pass.

 

“You’re forgiven.” I mumbled as I throw a quick glance at him. He smiled while biting his lower lip still not looking at me but I know his smiling because of what I’ve just said but then again he didn’t respond.  “I just thought that you already saved me twice so I’ll let all of those bullying in the school pass for now. You’re on a clean slate.” As I felt his head move to look at me, I instantly looked away from him and let my eyes stay in what’s in front of us.

“I don’t remember apologizing…” He amusingly teased. ‘What a jerk… *Inhale…*exhale... Breathe Dara...you owe him so be nice.’ I thought as I reprimanded myself. ‘He’s obviously saying that so you could look at him…Noooo…Don’t look.’ But my super stubborn head didn’t listen to me as it slowly moved to look at Jiyong. I gulped as I saw the close distance between our faces. I could see every details of his face and he is looking at me as if memorizing my face. His eyes met my eyes and traveled to look at my lips. ‘I can’t breathe...What’s happening?’  His face is slowly nearing mine. I gulped as I have a hunch on what’s about to happen. ‘Wait! move away from him Dara.’ But I am stunned in my place as I am slyly anticipating his very next move. ‘Stop him Dara.’ However, the inner struggle within me died as I slowly closed my eyes to welcome his lips. I felt something soft damped on my lips and remained in that position for a few seconds. Then his lips started to move and softly nibbled my lower lip, he continued to do the same thing urging me to respond. I felt his hand left my arms and into my face. ‘Ottoke!’ I didn’t notice I am already responding gradually to the kiss and my hand traveled its own way to his hair. ‘..What am I doin? I am kissing him back again…’

 

 

 

 

“Yo! You two lovebirds! Get a room!”

 

 

 

I pushed him off as I heard the booming voice. I saw TOP followed by Se7en and Seungri on the front of us who by looks of it just got out from the club. Panic crawl to my whole body as I didn’t know what to do having caught in that situation. I immediately thought about running away again like what I did in the school after the kiss but this time Jiyong’s hand is already strongly grasping my right hand.

“I wouldn’t let you get away this time.” He said while smiling widely at my pale face. He then turned to the three. “Perfect timing TOP! Just perfect! You didn’t ruined anything!!”He sarcastically shouted. Se7en and Seungri snorted. I couldn’t look at them so I turned my head to the road awkwardly and felt my face become hotter.

 

“Yah Jiyong, Dara got out of a terrible thing just a while ago and now you’re taking advantage of her frailness.”TOP remarked.

 

“Yah-”

“Hyung is right… How could you hyung?” Seungri stupidly added.

“What did you say Seungri?”He glared at Seungri who hastily hid at Se7en’s back.  He stepped forward to get closer to the poor boy but pulling me with him.

 

“Ssantokki… Are you okay already?”Se7en looked past Jiyong and stared at me. I am still recovering from the embarrassment so I just nodded as my throat suddenly went dry.

“Hyung, Why are you calling Dara Ssantokki?” Seungri asked from the back. Jiyong already stopped chasing him as the guy looked at me.

“That’s the name she gave me… I didn’t know she was the Dara you were talking about.”

“I’m sorry, I just didn’t want anyone from the club to know my name because I don’t want the school ever knowing I work there.” I admitted while bowing.

“It’s okay.. I like Ssantokki.. so I’m calling you that from now on.” He leveled his head to mine and smiled at me. I couldn’t help but also smile as only few friends call me by my pet name.

But then a hand jerked up in between us so we immediately stepped back. “Yah, Hyung! Who says you could call her that! Call her by her name D-A-R-A.” Jiyong shouted at Se7en. ‘What’s his problem.’

 

“But it's okay with her, right Ssantokki?!” He teased further.

“Yeah, it’s really okay Se7en-shii-” I quickly saved him.

But Jiyong cut me off again by declaring, “Nobody calls Dara a pet name!! That’s final!!”

 

Se7en, TOP and Seungri shrugged their shoulders and ignored him as they started to walk to their cars. Se7en pulled my hand out of Jiyong’s grasp and smiled cutely at me. “Let’s go Ssantokki… Leave this creature alone…” We then started to walk to their cars leaving Jiyong frozen in his place.

 

 

After a few steps made, we then heard a loud scream coming from the guy we just left behind as he woke up from his frozen state…

“YAAAAHHH.Se7en!!!!! Get your hands off her!!!!”

 

::

 

We are now on the road inside TOP’s car. Se7en’s car is behind us. I have no idea where we are heading and didn’t dare ask since I’m beside Jiyong who I felt is looking at me again. I pretended to look at the road to save myself from his stares.

 

‘riiinggg… riiinggg…riiinggg…’

 

 The ring came from TOP’s phone who quickly answered it. “Neh..?”

“Yeah, we’re on the way… I’ll call you later. I’m driving…Bye”

 

He took his phone done and looked at the rear mirror to glance at Jiyong. “Bom is at home, she said Dara can stay there for the mean time. She’s worried since I haven’t told her the whole incident, she sound anxious…”

I was surprised at his statement, “Me? Stay at Bom? W-Why?”

“After what happened, you’re still brave enough to go home alone? I asked Bom to let you stay over their house…”Jiyong quickly answered.

“But-”

“It’s Bom’s house or my house? You choose!” He stiffly looked at me.

I sighed at this. I do understand that he does this out of concern. I don’t want to be anybody’s burden but knowing Jiyong, I know I will not win in this argument. ‘Okay, I’ll just let him be like this. I don’t want to argue anymore. I’m so tired.’ Right then, the thought of Han Byul popped on my mind.

“I’m gonna be so dead…”I frowned and whispered as I bowed my head. Han Byul’s job means everything to her and now I just ruined it. I’m such a bad friend, how can I face her now?  I massaged my temples as I picture her looking sad if ever I tell her what happened.

“Are you feeling dizzy?”Jiyong concerned voice echoed on my side.

I jerked my head up and saw him. I suddenly felt shy as his face is near mine again so I slowly moved away from him before explaining my actions. “I’m okay..it’s just that…Han Byul is depending on her job and I ruined it for-”

“Don’t think about that for now… besides Se7en won’t let her stay with that job…”

“But-“

“that’s the second BUT I heard tonight… No more “but”s  Dara…”

“But-“This earned me a glare from him. “Mianhe..”

“Se7en is giving her a job from his company, a win-win situation for both of them, though she still does not know him yet. You know he likes her right?”

“Yes.” That’s relief and actually better. I smiled at this. “Thanks Jiyong.” But I quickly looked away again to not meet his eyes. ‘Why am I being shy again?’ I focused on the two people in the front seat.

“And to you guys too, Thank you very much...”

“It’s nothing Dara. We didn’t even sweat beating up those guys. Bunch of sissies!” Seungri boastfully replied.

“Really now Seungri?! Then what ‘s that?”TOP pointed at his ripped jacket.

“It’s part of the design!”Seungri reddened as he defended himself while hiding the torn part of the jacket. “It’s been there since I bought it.”

“You ain’t fooling no one! We are not stupid!” TOP smirked while turning the car to a corner.

I giggled as I watch the two continue on bickering. They both sound like grade schoolers fighting over a candy. If anybody would see this or if I tell this to anybody, I bet they won’t believe that BIGBANG members could be this childish. Jiyong, however, remained silent beside me. I felt something hold my hand so my eyes went to look at it only to see Jiyong’s hand firmly holding my hand. He wasn’t looking at me anymore and have his eyes fixed at the windows. My heart went crazily beating again. ‘His cold face doesn’t match the warm hands holding me right now.’ I know he is aware that I’m looking at him questioningly but he smiled a bit with no other movement from his body than the tightening of his hold. I gulped as I felt my face becomes hot again.

“Dara, are you sure you’re okay?”TOP asked as he looked at me through the rear mirror. “It’s kinda dim but your face is really red right now.”

Seungri glanced at my face and confirmed TOP’s comment, “Yeah it’s kinda red.” I immediately looked away to the window as I defended myself, “A-Ani..I’m okay, I’m just usually like this at night especially when I’m tired...”

 

 

 

Jiyong’s hand still is holding mine and I’m not letting go of his either…
