Fifteen

Tortoise and Turtle

 

“D-D-Dara?” Ilhoon gaped with wide eyes as we peeked from the kitchen and saw the two figures coming inside the café.

“Why? Do you like her?” Bomi asked him with raised brows.

“If Manager unnie has Yunho in her dreams, I have Dara.” Ilhoon answered her in all seriousness. I just giggled at their exchange.

Yesterday, Gdragon went here telling me that he would like to rent the café for a night to make a confession to someone. Since, Mrs. Byun hadn’t got back from her trip, I decided to lent it to him with everyone’s consent. Everyone was excited and curious to the bones to know who’s the girl Gdragon is in love with.

Jiyoon was there waiting at the cashier’s counter while the rest of the crew hid in the kitchen until the duties they are ought to do should be done.

“Seungri, I think this café’s closed,” Dara told the guy whom she went with here as they stepped inside.

YG Entertainment, the company Gdragon & Dara works for, was having a photoshoot at Jeju Island with all their artists and talents. Gdragon thought it would be a great time to admit every feelings that he has for Dara. He confessed that he has been bottling up his feelings for ‘the lucky girl’ for almost three long years. I couldn’t imagine how he worked with her professionally setting aside all his feelings for her. Inspired and quite uneasy maybe? Wait, that’s what I’m feeling right now.

Gdragon connived with his other group members and told them his plans for this special day. Seungri was ought to take Dara to the café while Gdragon and the others wait.

“There’s the cashier,” Seungri pointed at Jiyoon who was smiling and waving excitedly at them. “They’re open for sure,” he smiled at the girl beside him who looked confused and dazed but still looking so charming and beautiful at the same time. No wonder Gdragon fell for her. I would have also, if I’m a boy. Dara is known for her natural beauty and ageless grace. I would want to like someone like that.

“Good evening Sir, Ma’am. What’s your order?” Jiyoon asked them with a smile from ear to ear.

Upstairs, at the comfort room, Gdragon and the rest of Bigbang are hiding nervously. I looked up as though I have Xray vision through the 2nd floor and chuckled on the thought that they are all panicking and anxious. I don’t know if they already know that the most beloved Dara is already here. I hoped they’ve heard and sensed it.

“I’ll have a Cappuccino please and?” Seungri turned to Dara.

“Same as yours,” she said.

“Two cappuccinos.”

“Okay Sir,” Jiyoon took their order and entered it to the cashier’s machine.

“Let’s go upstairs. I heard the view there is spectacular!” Seungri told Dara. “You could see the whole Jeju sea.”

“Jinja?” Dara with her bewildered and amused expression asked. She’s simply adorable. I am already thinking how cute her child with Gdragon will be.

“Jinja jinja,” Seungri nodded while laughing then they went upstairs.

The surprise is at the 2nd floor. Gdragon planned it very well, telling us all the details.

“So, Seungri will tag her to the café, they’ll go to the 2nd floor where there’s this table I prepared. Seungri will excuse himself for the comfort room and that’s when I will enter.”

I could still remember the big grin Gdragon has when he told us that. Everyone was so excited.

Jiyoon was hopping giddily to us at the kitchen with her smile still plastered at her face when Seungri and Dara were upstairs already. “She’s so pretty! She’s so pretty! I hope she’ll say yes!”

I glanced at Ilhoon who was patted at the back by Seungyeol. He has that deflated shoulder of someone who just failed a very important exam like that of bar or board or someone who has been dumped without mercy.

“It’s alright Ilhoonie,” Seungyeol comforted him.

I couldn’t help but smile widely at Seungyeol. I don’t know why but my heart is just swelling with adoration at this guy with reasons I don’t know. Or maybe I really like him a lot. A great lot.

Reasons are not required for liking someone.

Just like that of loving someone.

His smiles are like my vitamins that keeps me energized.

His voice, I don’t know how, keeps me blissful.

His laughter makes me ecstatic too.

His presence gives my being that extra dose of happiness.

What lonely thoughts, he’s not even my boyfriend.

I am endlessly falling for him.

But sometimes, I don’t know if my mind’s making this up, but I’ll catch him gaze at me. Every girl has this gut feeling if a guy likes him. And my radar of Sungyeol is on high-alert level. The thought that he likes me back makes me giddy and unbelievably happy.

“There are many other girls Ilhoon. And I know you’re meant for someone. Maybe Dara is meant for Jiyong. I know you’ll meet yours too,” Sungyeol told him like what a big brother will if his younger sibling is heartbroken.

Will I meet mine too?

Or is he already in front of me?

Ilhoon nodded dramatically. The girls looked at each other.

As funny and shallow the reason for Ilhoon’s brokenheartedness is, I could understand him. I was a fan like him after all.

Seungyeol patted his shoulder one last time then turned around. Just then, he locked eyes with me.

He smiled.

I smiled back.

Sparks began flying everywhere again.

And the butterflies at my stomach are back. For good.

 

Days after that, Gdragon and Dara’s relationship were all over the media and as expected, everyone ships them.
