After The Party

If Only (The Sequel to In The Club)


Days later...

Seunghyun invited Dara to watch a movie. Dara gladly accepted the invitation.
After work, Seunghyun went to pick her up at PARKSan Restaurant.

When the two arrived at the movie theater, Seunghyun bought their tickets.

"We still have an hour to wait." He told Dara. "Want to grab some snacks?"

"Sure." She replied with a wide smile.

"You seem rather cheerful today." Seunghyun chuckled glancing at her while they walk side by side.

"I'm just happy to see you." Dara said giving him a smile then she quickly looked away.

"We haven't seen each other in awhile."

Seunghyun could sense a little disappointment in Dara's voice.

"And I miss you." She mumbled.

It was almost a whisper but enough for Seunghyun to hear.

He stopped walking and turned to Dara.

Dara feeling a bit embarrassed of what she said couldn't look back.

'Babo.' She scolded herself.

It's the truth. It's been five days since she last saw him.
They were both busy after Chaerin's party, especially Seunghyun.
Though they kept in touch by phone everyday, deep inside Dara wanted to see him.
So when the chance came that Seunghyun was free and he invited her to go out, she quickly said yes without hesitation.

"What?" Dara asked not looking at him.

"Can you repeat what you just said?"

"What?"

"The last part that you said." He said grinning.

Dara knew what he wanted to hear.

She blushed.

"Can I hear it again, please?" Seunghyun begged.

She shook her head in embarrassment.

Seunghyun pouted his lips for a moment.

"At least I heard it once." He said smiling as he grabbed Dara's hand.

Dara's heart skipped a beat when she felt his hand.
Though it's not the first time they held hands, she finds it rather unusual now right after Chaerin's party.

After CL-Roo's grand opening night, Dara had contemplated for days on what she was feeling.
Until now, she hasn't concluded anything.
All she knows is that she hates seeing Yuri and Uee. Period.
She hates the idea that the two girls are hanging around Youngbae and Seunghyun.

After eating at a nearby restaurant, they walked back to the movie theater.
They didn't rushed since they still have time.
While walking they heard someone called Seunghyun.

"Seunghyun-ah!" A voice called.

Seunghyun turned to the direction where he heard the voice.

Dara saw a tall good-looking man walking towards them.
Beside him was a lady who looks a bit older than him.

"Hyun joong-ah!" Seunghyun greeted with a chuckle.

"Yah!" The man said as they did their handshake.

"Annyeonghaseyo Hwangbo nuna." Seunghyun greeted the lady who is smiling shyly at them.

"What are you doing here?" The man asked Seunghyun.

"We're here to watch a movie. And you?"

"Shopping."

"Hey, don't forget to send me and Jiyong your wedding invitation." Seunghyun reminded him.

"Of course."

Hyun Joong shifted his eyes to Dara then back to him.

"This is Park Dara, the daughter of the famous restaurateur, Park Yong Sun." Seunghyun introduced.

Hyun Joong eyes widened.

"The Park Dara of PARKSan restaurant?"

Dara bowed her head and smiled.

"Annyeonghaseyo, Park Dara-imnida."

Hyun Joong and Hwangbo greeted politely in return.

Hyun Joong extended his hand and Dara gladly shook it.

"Kim Hyun Joong-imnida."

Then he introduced the lady beside him.

"She's my fiancé, Hwangbo."

Dara shook her hand.

To Dara, the name Hyun Joong was familiar.

=FLASHBACK=
Chapter 3
The Truth (Seunghyun's Revelation)

"Kim Hyun Joong, he's the owner of the club where Youngbae and Angela went to."

=End of FLASHBACK=

'So he's the one who hates Youngbae. He's also the one who took that video in the club.' Dara thought.

"I guess you've already heard about me." Hyun Joong shyly said.

Dara nod her head.

"Yes, Seunghyun already told me about you."

Hyun Joong suddenly felt embarrassed.

"I hope you're not mad at me or anything." He said with a nervous laugh.

Dara laughed.

"Of course not." She said. "Why should I?"

Seunghyun glanced at his watch.

"Hate to cut this chat short, but we have a movie to catch." He told the couple.

"Go then. Let's just meet next time." Hwangbo said smiling.

"Bring Dara with you on Jaejoong's birthday."

"Oh yeah, Jaejoong's birthday next month." Seunghyun said. "We'll see you then."

They bid goodbye to the couple.

Seunghyun reached for Dara's hand as they quickly headed their way.

The couple watched them go.

"So she's the one Seunghyun is crazy about." Hwangbo said holding Hyun Joong's arm.

"Yup, she's the one." Hyun Joong replied. "I sure hope they'll end up together."

"I really admire your friend." Hwangbo said while they walk hand in hand.
"It's been a long time, yet he never gave up."

"That's what you call real love." Hyun Joong whispered to Hwangbo's ear.

Hwangbo giggled. "Race you to the car."

"You're on!"

**********


"Let's take a break." Youngbae said as he sat on the bleacher.

"It's been a long time since we played, hyung." Seungri said panting next to him. "I get tired easily now."

Youngbae and Daesung laughed.

The boys decided to shoot some hoops at the Lee Hyun Ki Arena, it is owned by Seungri's father.

"Ahhh.." Daesung yelled. "I miss playing basketball."

"I know how you feel." Youngbae said patting his friend's back.

"Ever since we started working at our family business it's like we hardly have time for ourselves." Daesung said.

"I beg to disagree, hyung." Seungri said.

"We have time but we just don't make time."

Youngbae chuckled.

"I agree with our maknae here." He said hitting Seungri lightly on the head.

"Make sense." Daesung said wiping his sweat with his towel.

'Ring....ring...'

Youngbae answered his cellphone.

"Yoboseyo?" He answered. "O, Yuri-ah."

The two looked at each other.

"Sorry I can't."

They heard Youngbae said.

"Maybe next time, okay?"

Then the conversation ended.

"Is that Kwon Yuri?" Daesung asked.

Youngbae nodded.

"What does she want?" Seungri asked curiously.

"She's inviting me for dinner." Youngbae replied.

He gestured Daesung to give him some space so he can lay down on the bleacher.

Daesung stepped down instead.

Youngbae covered his face with a towel.

"But I told her I'm busy."

"But you're not busy, hyung." Seungri said.

Daesung hit Seungri's head.

"Babo-yah! Isn't it obvious that hyung is avoiding her?" He told him.

Seungri glared at Daesung while rubbing his head.

"I was just saying."

"You know he's not interested in any of that right now." Daesung reminded him.

"You mean dating?" Seungri asked innocently.

"What else?" Daesung replied.

Seungri suddenly remembered something.

"Uhm hyung," He called Youngbae's attention.

"Uh." Youngbae uttered under the towel.

"Speaking of that," He started.

"Is Dara nuna and Seunghyun hyung... you know... dating?"

Daesung hit Seungri again on the head.

"Yah!" Seungri howled.

Daesung quickly put his finger against his lips motioning him to keep quite and pointing at Youngbae.

"What?" Seungri mouthed to Daesung, looking irritated.

Youngbae removed the towel from his face.

The two quickly straightened themselves.

"I don't know, maybe. Dara never mentioned it to me." He said quietly.

"And besides, Dara is free to date whoever she wants."

Daesung and Seungri glanced at each other.

"How about you, hyung?" Daesung asked.

"If Dara is dating already, aren't you-"

"Like you said Daesung," Youngbae cut him and covered is face with a towel again.

"I'm not interested."

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


The next day...

Dara walked out of her office. She was planning to go down to their restaurant and have some coffee.
She was on her way to the stairs when the private elevator door suddenly opened.

"Nuna," Cheondung called when she saw her sister passed by.

Dara stepped back when she heard his brother.

"Where have you been?"

"The restaurant." He said smiling and offering the glass of juice he was holding.

"Uhmm, no thanks." Dara said. "Where's your secretary?"

"I asked her to do some errands." He said stepping out of the elevator.

"And where are you going." Cheondung asked when Dara went in the elevator.

"Coffee break." Dara said with a smile. "Wanna join?"

Cheondung glanced at the juice he was holding then to Dara.

"Uhhh.. I'll follow later."

Dara was at the restaurant enjoying a cup of coffee and reading a magazine.

"Dara unnie!" She heard a familiar voice called her attention.

She saw Chaerin heading towards her table.

"Chaerin-ah?" She looked up. "What brings you here?"

Chaerin grinned and made way for someone behind her.

"Lee Minho-sshi?" Dara gaped in surprise.
