Author's POV

"Stay with me Dara…Promise me that."

Dara froze upon hearing his voice, requesting something she was more than willing to fulfill. To stay with him. It was Dara's wish, her one and only dream. 

Those words still ringing in her ears.

Promise me… Stay….. Dara…..

Her heart was pounding hardly as if it wanted to escape her chest. Her body was stiff as Donghae continued to stare at her directly. She didn't know what to do. A few more seconds of his stare and she knew she'd turn into a freaking statue. She felt as if her body would surrender, that it would break down and confess to him once again. 

She hated it. It annoyed her to the bones. It annoyed her so much that she fell for him once again even if it wasn't possible. 

"Even if you leave…" Donghae took a step until his face was only a few inches away from hers. Her cheeks were a bright shade of pink and Donghae almost fell to his temptation. 

He wanted to kiss her so badly. Everything that Dara was doing made it harder for him to stop himself. Damn it her lips looked so soft and red. The way her head was tilted would make it easier for him to go for it but he knew he couldn't do that. Not without her permission. Though he knew she loved him as much as he loved her, he wouldn't take advantage of it. It was Dara, she was special to him. She was his first love. 

"…I'd hunt you down." a smirk formed on his face as soon as he gathered himself up. It was the least he could do to feed his own giddiness. If he couldn't kiss her, he'd at least try to make her blush until she turns into a tomato. He knew it was cruel but it was his only way to remind himself that Dara loves him back. It made him happy to be reminded. 

"..You can never leave me Dara." Donghae leaned in closer until she could feel his breath on his face. Her heart skipped a few beats and her body twitched. It was as if her body wanted to move closer, as if it wanted to kiss him. When Donghae noticed Dara turned red even more, if it was even possible, he smiled inwardly feeling a sense of victory. He succeeded. He was happy more than anybody could imagine. 

"I forgot something." he whispered after a while. He backed off a bit and scratched his head while saying, "I'll be back…." he turned around before he took a step. 

"…babes." he coughed, before he ran away punching himself mentally. He couldn't stop himself. He had wanted to say that for so long, for too long yet he never thought of actually saying it. 

(Donghae) What the hell? Why the hell did I just say that? Aishhhh!

When Donghae disappeared behind a bunch of cars, Dara still couldn't breath. It was so far the worst and best day of her life so far. She wanted to jump up and down but at the same time she wanted to bury herself in the sand. It was only the afternoon and she had used up all her energy. 

"B…b..ba..babes…." It sounded so good in her ears. The thought of it, Donghae calling her babes. For all she knew it was a dream come true yet she also knew it was the beginning of her nightmare. There was no escape from Donghae anymore, her escape had already been long gone but now even a hint of hope was gone. She loves him, that was it! Period! Full Stop!

From the corner of her eye, Dara noticed a tall figure from afar. It was Donghae. He was already on his way back. Dara's heart began to race again, her breathing was fast and her sight became more clear. His figure was so clear to her. His tall built figure walking right towards her. 

Donghae was walking as confidently as he could, almost really arrogant. He was feeling really good ever since this morning and he was no way near ending it. He was  having too much fun, way too much fun. Dara was staring at him and he couldn't help but smile. He felt so good about himself. It was the first time he had ever accepted himself completely. Dara loved him, he thought maybe he should love himself too. 

A few more steps and he would be only a few meters away from Dara. A few more meters and he would have finished performing his catwalk with Dara as his audience. A few more steps then boom. 

Dara's body curled up on it's own. She was laughing out loud it could be heard from the other end of the ocean. Her eyes were closed fully as tears fell out of them. She couldn't breathe. She was laughing too hard. It was the best laugh she had ever had since her heartbreak with Jiyong. 

Donghae fell. No he didn't just fall. He fell embarrassingly, almost miserably. Donghae didn't notice the small but deep hole in the sand. He fell right into it and his face landed on the sand. A few entered his mouth and nose but that wasn't the funniest part. When Donghae fell, his pants must have gotten caught by something and his belt broke, making his pants fall down to his knees. His tight boxers kind of showed the shape of his pride. 

Donghae quickly stood up and pulled his pants. He spat out the sand out of his mouth. He pulled up his shirt and wiped his face with it. Only after a few seconds, Donghae remembered that someone was watching. Someone he least wanted to see him half . Well not in public anyway, he didn't mind if it was somewhere else ;P 

Before he knew it, Dara started laughing out loud, really loud. His face began to turn into a shade of pink as he tried fixing his shirt and pants. He had to hold onto his pants though which made it even funnier. 

"HA HA very funny Dara!" Donghae said sarcastically as he began walking towards Dara who was too preoccupied with laughing to even hear him. The image kept repeating in her mind, he looked too funny it was impossible to forget.

"Dara get over it." he ruffled his hair as he watched Dara still swaying back and forth laughing her head off. Then Dara began coughing out loud, was sore from too much laughing yet it was too hard to stop. She was laughing and coughing at the same time and it slightly amazed Donghae. Such a loud voice coming from a tiny woman. 

"See? Karma! Dara stop laughing!" Donghae reached out his hand to gently brush Dara's back who continued coughing and laughing at the same time. 

Before Donghae's hand landed on her back, Dara twisted her ankle slightly from swaying back and forth making her fall. Donghae was fast enough to wrap his arm around her waist but he wasn't fast enough to not fall with her. They both landed on the sand, Donghae on top of Dara. His hand was behind her head protecting it from the fall while the other remained wrapped tightly around her waist. His nose barely touching hers. 

Dara's eyes widened in surprise. He was too close, way too close as his body pressed on hers. Their body contact felt too awkward yet something inside her wanted to stay like that. Dara started shuffling trying to push Donghae off her but he stayed still surprisingly. His eyes still meeting hers. Dara was blushing madly while Donghae was having a war within himself. He wanted to kiss her but he thought he shouldn't. 

"Donghae!" she managed to stutter but he remained still. His eyes searching for something. Searching for permission maybe? Dara didn't know but she was so tempted to kiss him. 

"You like my boxers?" he smiled evilly watching her blush even more. Dara's eyes widened. What the hell was Donghae saying at a time like that, in that position? Dara could feel his body warmth all over her body and her body responded unintentionally. She was heating up.

"N..n..NOO!!! I don't!!!! Get off me Donghae!" her voice shook as her body felt an unfamiliar tingling. It was supposed to be an order yet she sounded so faint, it lacked too much pressure as if she was telling him not to get off her.

"Don't lie to me. You like them just like you like me on top of you." he smiled even wider. Donghae didn't know why he said that. Maybe he wanted to annoy her. Or maybe he wanted her to say yes? Maybe?

"WHAT?!!! Wh..what th…the hell are you saying D…Donghae? Get off me!!" she stuttered even more miserably this time. From hearing her, Donghae was somehow encouraged to continue his evil plan. 

"I'm saying you like me being on top." he leaned closer to her ears. His breath on her neck made her twitch.

"NO!! I D…Don't!" she was gasping for air. Temptation and embarrassment filled her body. 

"Then should I be at the bottom?" he whispered again, this time even closer to her ears. Dara was on the edge of her insanity, she needed to get away from him. 

"Aish get off me you ert!" Dara screamed really loudly almost breaking his ear drums. He finally chuckled and got off her. When he stood up, he reached out his hand for Dara but she ignored him. She stood up quickly, brushed off the sand on her dress, punched his shoulder then walked off. 

"Dara I was just joking!" he chuckled rubbing his shoulder. Dara turned around gave him a big merong before she began stomping away again. 

"Dara come back! Don't be angry! I was just messing around!" he tried to sound as serious as he could but he failed. He ended up laughing out loud at the end of his sentence annoying Dara more than she already was. Dara didn't even look back, she kept stomping away. 

"Dara! Dara!" he kept shouting but she wouldn't budge. She was too annoyed to play his games.

"Aishh!!" Donghae sighed scratching the back of his head. He took one deep breath before he dragged his feet to run after Dara. 

"Dara come on I was just messing around!" he explained breathlessly but Dara pretended not to hear him. She was looking straight ahead with her arms crossed in front of her chest.

"Dara…" he tried once again. This time he made a face but she didn't bother to look back at him. She almost fell for it but she tried her best to seem annoyed. 

When Donghae finally accepted the fact that she won't budge, he ruffled his hair. It looked really funny since he had one hand on his pants while he used the other to mess up his hair. 

Then there it was. Donghae raised a brow then the other, making a wave with it. He had an idea. 

Dara slowed down her pace when she noticed Donghae wasn't following her anymore. Turned out she was just playing with him. Revenge probably? Maybe she just wanted him to comfort her? She knew it was cheeky of her but it was exciting. 

She was about to turn around but a pair of arms wrapped around her waist tightly. She could feel the warmth of his chest on her back. He rested his chin on her shoulders. His touch was comforting. She could smell his handsome scent. 

Dara almost jumped at his touch. Her cheeks were red and her whole body responded to his hug. Her heart wanted to turn around and hug him back tightly but her brain was against it.

"I'm sorry.." he whispered. His voice echoing in her head. His voice was y and she couldn't deny it. 

"…please forgive me?" he tilted his head so that his ears were touching her shoulders. She raised her shoulder slightly, she was tickled by his sudden gesture. Donghae couldn't help but smile at her reaction. 

He leaned in closer. 

"Please?" he whispered once again. This time he was so close that his lips brushed against her shoulder as he spoke. Dara froze at the touch. She couldn't take it anymore.

(Donghae) Ahhh Santokki… your heart.

"Please babes?" this time, he backed off a bit and Dara released a sigh of relief. She thought it was over but she was wrong. Way wrong. 

(Donghae) I can't breathe...

Donghae leaned in closer again, he gave her shoulder a quick peck before he hugged her tightly again. He lifted her up as he brushed his nose on her shoulders. He inhaled, taking in her scent as much as he could. Donghae didn't know why he did it. When he realized how weird it was, he it up. I mean he was hugging Dara and she didn't seem to hate it, so why stop right?

"Donghae put me down!!" her eyes widened but she managed to speak. 

"Not until you forgive me." he gave her shoulder another peck and her eyes widened in surprise. She was kicking around but not strong enough to hurt him. 

"Okay just put me down." she yelled this time and Donghae chuckled at her gesture. 

"I want to hear you say it." he kissed her again and she kicked harder this time but when she realized he wouldn't budge, her body surrendered. Her legs hanged limply as she whispered. "I forgive you. I was never angry in the first place."

He gently put her down and turned her around to face him. He cupped her face between his hands. He leaned in closer and rested his forehead on hers. 

"I really am sorry Dara." he closed his eyes before he backed off and let her go. 

Donghae cleared his throat before he continued. 

"Let's go back." he smiled warmly before he took a step to walk away. 

Dara followed him quietly. Her body remained warm. She still couldn't get used to all the skinship. She couldn't understand why Donghae was acting that way either. Was he playing around with her? Was he doing that because he loved her back?

Dara started slapping her face gently, trying to calm herself down. She was blushing madly and she couldn't get him out of her head. She lifted her head and glanced at Donghae's back. She really couldn't get angry at him. She smiled inwardly before she followed Donghae. 

On the other hand Donghae scrunched up his face. He was annoyed with himself. He fell into temptation again. It w
