After the couple made their lap around the mall, going into every store to prolong their time together, they stepped out into the darkening air. Their hands were interwined sweetly, the awkwardness of new love didn't seem to affect them at all. 

"What do you want to eat Ji?" Dara asked as she peered at the number of restaurants spread along the street. She was starving and the tempting smell of warm delicacies were making her stomach growl.

"Should we get sushi?" Jiyong suggested.

"Nah, can we get Chinese food instead? I want to eat something warm." Dara batted her eyelashes at her boyfriend.

"Of course we can get Chinese food, now stop acting cute." 

Dara gave the boy a dramatic offended look, pouting and wrinkling her nose. "No! I'm always cute!"

"You are." Jiyong kissed his adorable girlfriend on the cheek making her blush furiously.

"L..let's go eat, I'm hungry." She stuttered before dashing towards the Chinese restaurant she had been eyeing, leaving GD behind her grinning like an idiot.

"Here's your order." A voice interrupted the couple's conversation, as a waitress carried a plate of steaming food towards them.

Jiyong turned around "Thank you."

Suddenly, a deafening crash sounded as the plates were dropped onto the marble floor, noodles spilled over the floor in clumps and Dara wanted to tear up at the waste of delicious food. It took so long to wait for it to be ready, now we'll have to wait even longer.

Jiyong looked shocked as well, but what happened next was more surprising.

"GDRAGON YOU JERK! HOW DARE YOU SHOW UP IN FRONT OF ME AGAIN YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SLIME?!" The waitress glared at the boy, her face red and her fists clenched. The name "Sohyeon" was clearly printed on the name tag on her uniform.

"Do you know her?" Dara looked puzzledly at GD, who has turned white.

"Oh, you must be his next victim, you poor thing." The other girl looked at Dara sympathetically, "Leave him while there's still time, this jerk right here is a heartless player. You might think he sincerely likes you just as I had, but you're wrong, he is just using you. He flirted with me for a whole month, we even kissed! But after I finished helping him cheat for his exams, he dumped me and told me that he was just dating me so I would help him. You look like a smart girl, I mean you must be if he is dating you, please listen to my sincere advise, he has done it to so many girls already." 

Throughout Sohyeon's speech, Jiyong never tried to interrupt and Dara looked at him in confusion. Why isn't he explaining himself? Why isn't he telling me that it's all lies and that he isn't someone who would ever do a thing like that?

Dara's heart sank, she knew there was an element of truth in what Sohyeon was telling her, the other girl's eyes gave away nothing but sincerity. Dara herself had heard Jiyong's plans to manipulate her, she sensed from the very start that he was way too arrogant and didn't seem to give a damn about anyone else. She admitted too that she did get good grades and also the fact that she had always wondered why the extremely attractive boy was so set on her since the beginning. She had thought it was love, but at that moment, she wasn't so sure.

"Thank you, Sohyeon. Can you prepare another portion of that seafood noodle and sweet and sour chicken for takeaway please? The bill too."

Jiyong seemed to only just awoke from his vegetative state, he had been so shocked by what Sohyeon revealed that he was for a moment unable to react, instead he sat there like an idiot while the entire restaurant and Dara stared at him. 

"No wait, Dara what are you doing?" The panic in his voice caught him by surprise.

"So sorry for all this customer-nims, we will clear up the mess right away and bring you a new order and free drink to apologise for this behaviour." A lady, presumably the manager made her way over to the scene, "Sohyeon, you're fired."

"No it's ok," Dara said, ignoring Jiyong's question, "it was just an accident, in fact I'm really grateful to Sohyeon, she is a good person."

"No she isn't!" Jiyong mumbled angrily under his breath.

"I will pay the bill now, please have the food delivered to this address when it is ready. Thank you." Dara said monotonously, before bowing and leaving the restaurant without sparing Jiyong another glance.

Once she was out of the shop, the calm, cold facade shattered, just like the beating muscle in her chest and she sobbed into her palm. She couldn't believe that she almost fell for it, she was so happy, she thought they were perfect... They were wrong, love hurts even more the second time around. She decided to walk back to her house, she needed to calm herself and decide what to do next.

Hey lovelies!! 

This is just a short update because I have been so busy lately TTOTT

Anyways I hope you liked this update~ we all knew this was going to happen sooner or later right? Jiyong can't just get away with being a jerk. 

Don't worry though, I have already planned a happy resolution to this problem, but I also have another idea- who wants to see Bad Dara take revenge? 

Ok maybe I'm just weird, please comment whether you want the fluff ending now, or the more angsty plotline! 

Lots of love, 

-adorateur- <3
