Chapter 38 : Is this Goodbye?

Girlfriend for hire

Lee Supermarket

Bom's Office


"You need to lay down for a while.." Bom said

"I'm fine Unnie, there's nothing to worry.." Dara answered, she sit on the top of the couch looking at Bom and Seungri

"You are not fine Dara! You have a fever!" Bom exclaimed

"Come on Noona, relax. Uhm how do you feel now Dara?" Seungri asked her, Dara look at him

"And don't tell us that you are fine!" Bom butted in

"I'm uhm okay but my head hurts.." she answered

"That would be normal because you have a fever. Tell me, where did you go last night when Chaerin told you to leave?" Seungri asked her again, Dara look down

"I have another job beside this one. I work as a waitress in a bar then i clean some stall in th wet market after.." Dara answered, Seungri already knows that

"See? See what you are doing? Are you trying to kill yourself to work???" Bom asked Dara

"You know i need this work, Unnie. I have two sisters depending on me and some bills that i needed to pay! I'm tired and i want to give up but i can't do it.. I just can't.. because if i did, it will look like that i give up taking care of my sisters too.." Dara said in a small, sad voice, Seungri look at Bom then to Dara

"Okay, i'll give you some days to rest okay and don't you worry, i'll pay you even if you are not working.." Seungri said

"Uhm no, it's okay. I'll be fine tomorrow, promise i'll be fine.."

"No you are not! We are your boss and do whatever we say to you. You need to rest Dara, you need to take care of yourself too because if something bad happen to you, who will take care of them?" Bom asked her, Dara sigh, if only they were rich that she don't need to work hard to earn money, maybe things will be better for the three of them

 

 

 

 

Inside the Supermarket

"Where is she?" Chaerin asked as soon as she saw someone outside Bom's office

"Ms. Dara? She's inside with ir Seungri and Ms. Bom.." he answered

"My brother? What is he doing here?" Chaerin asked but she didn't for the boy to answer him, Minho together with Minji and Mi-na follows her from behind

"I hope Unnie is okay.." Minji said, Minho look at her

"Don't worry, she'll be fine. Your Unnie is tough.." he said, he smiled at the two trying to comfort them. When they reach Bom's office, Chaerin knock on the door, Bom is the one to open it

"Unnie!" she said, Bom look at her, instead of letting her in, she close the door and pulled Chaerin on the side

"Unnie, How's Dara?" Chaerin asked her

"She's fine, she's having a fever but we already gave her some days to rest so she'll be okay.." Bom answered her

"Can we see her?" Mi-na asked her, Bom nodded her head, they move towards the door but Bom speak up

"But not you Chaerin.." Bom said to her, Chaerin turn around and look at her

"What did you say?" Chaerin asked her

"She doesn't want to see you. She said that if we insist to let you see her, she'll go to work tonight.." Bom explained

"No! I'll see her! I need to talk to her!" Chaerin went to the door and turn the knob but it's lock, she bang on the door hard

"Dara! Open the door!" Chaerin yelled but Dara didn't respond

"Dara! I know you can hear me! Please open the ing door!" she yelled again but still the door didn't opened, she look at Bom then to Minho

"Please baby, i need to talk you. Give me 5 minutes, 5 minutes Dara.." Chaerin said again

"Go away.." Dara answered, she look at the door

"No i won't go away, i will stay here and i won't leave this door until you come out!"

"I said go away Chaerin! Like what you said, there's nothing to talk about!"

"Baby.." but this time Dara didn't answer, Chaerin close her eyes and lean her forehead on the door, she remembered every word she said to her, she pushed her away, she didn't let her explain and tell her everything

'I'm sorry' Chaerin whispered, she then felt a hand on her shoulder, she look at it and saw Minho looking at her

"Let's go.." he said

 

 

 

 

Later that Afternoon..

Minho drop Mi-na and Minji at their apartment, the two told Chaerin to hang-on and soon everything will be fine. Minho stop his car in front of the Lee Mansion, he look at Chaerin who's looking outside

"I screwed up huh?" Chaerin asked him

"No Chaerin, we all make mistakes, like what i did to you in the past.." Minho answered her

"But she doesn't want to see me again.."

"Maybe for just a couple of days or so.."

"You heard her.."

"Yeah i did and i know that you sensed the loneliness and emptiness in her voice.." Chaerin look at him

"Dara loves you, everytime we talk she always mentions you, she always told me how lucky she is to have someone like you.."

"She told you that?"

"Yes she did, i'm not lying to you.." Chaerin smiled a little

"You still have time to make things okay again but you must think bout her situation too.."

"Yes i will do that, Oppa.." Chaerin answered him, Minho smiled

"I'm sorry for hurting you in the past, if i only knew that you still have a relationship with her, i wouldn't court her.."

"It's in the past Oppa and i have to thank you for that"

"Why?"

"Because if you didn't court her, i wouldn't met Dara.." Minho laugh while shaking his head

"My pleasure Chaerin. Now go inside and think about what you'll need to do, okay?"

"Okay and thank you again.." Chaerin extend her hand towards Minho who gladly acccepted it, she went out of the car and wave at him, after Minho saw Chaerin getting inside their gate, he drove off and hope that things will be a okay to them

 

 

 


7 Hours Later..

Chaerin can't sleep that night, she keep on thinking about Dara, she sent her a bunch of text message even called her but she's not answering

'I want to see her' she said to herself but she knows that Dara won't let her in, so she think of a plan, she texted Minji and Mi-na to ask for their help

 

 

 

Park's Apartment

Dara is still awake, she can't sleep thinking about Chaerin, she also read Chaerin's messages but she don't know what she'll say to her

'I have a lot of things to do, if i'll keep on continuing this relationship, both of us will be broken again in the end' she said to herself but she can't erase the fact that she loves Chaerin too damn much that she can swallow her pride just to be back on her arms again

'I hope i have an answer to all of my questions..' she whispered again then she felt someone moved behind her, she turn her head and saw her

"Chaerin.." she said

"Yeah it's me baby.." Chaerin answered

"What are you doing here? How did you get in?"

"Well your two loving sisters help me.."

"Please Chaerin, you need to leave. I don't want to talk to you.." Dara said, she starts to walk towards her bed but Chaerin stop her

"Please baby, just give me some minutes to explain, please i beg you.." Chaerin said, Dara look at the door, she saw Minji looking at her and nod her head

"Okay.." Dara answered and she saw Minji closed the door

"Thank you, uhm here. You need to sit, it's not good if you stand there.." Chaerin said to her, Dara walk towards the bed and sit while Chaerin grab the stool and sat there

"First of all, i want to say sorry to you. Sorry if i pushed you away, sorry for saying those stupid things to you last night baby.." Chaerin said, she hold Dara's hand and gently squeeze it

"I was hurt ya know, hurt to know that you chose Minho over me to help you but now i understand everything. I know you don't want any money involve in our relationship that's why you didn't told me.." Chaerin added, Dara nodded her head

"I hope you can forgive me and let's start again.." she said, Chaerin felt a tear fell in her eye the she felt Dara squeezes her hand

"I already forgive you baby but i don't think this is the right time to start over again.." Dara said to her, Dara look straight into Chaerin's eyes and the latter saw that she's crying

"Please don't cry baby.." Chaerin said

"We both have a lot of things need to do. You having 3 companies to run, problems in your business and me working hard to support my two sisters. There's a lot of issuess going on too, i know most of the people who know you keep on spreading that i'm only after your money, i know Jiyeon's been trying to tear us apart and now she's succeeded.." Dara said

"But baby we can start again right? This time we'll be stronger than before.." Chaerin said

"Yes baby but think of it, i hurt you, you hurt me, i did somethings to you, i hid things from you and i don't want that to happen again.." Dara answered her

"What do you mean?"

"I need to fix my life first. I have a lot of things going on inside my mind, like that i'm not good to you, that you are too perfect for me."

"Hey baby don't say that.."

"But that's the truth Chaerin. We both need to face the fact that we live in two different worlds.."

"Baby listen, i don't care what they will say, they don't know you so whatever they say about you is not true.."

"Chaerin please, if i said yes to you again, i can hurt you in the end again. We will be back the way we are right now!" Dara cried while Chaerin look at her hand

"You know what? There's something i want to tell you.." Chaerin said, Dara then look to her

"From the day i first met you, i know there's something in you that i can't explain, yeah you did annoyed me and call me The High and Mighty Pudong! I was mad but then there's a spark i felt deep down inside.." Chaerin told her with a smile on her face

"You are the first and only girl to call me that way. So when my two brothers told me that they found a perfect girl for me to pretend to be my girlfriend and it is you, my heart jump for joy. At first i thought that it's time for my revenge but man you really knows how to make someone fall for you foor being simple and being just the way you are.." she look at Dara who's smiling at her

"Guess you can never resist my charm eh?" Dara asked her, Chaerin laugh

"I think that makes us two.." she answered, Dara shook her head

"Yeah you are right. The High and Mighty Pudong was not that High and Mighty at all. Eventhough you are annoying too, you have a big heart and when you love someone, you will give 100% of your heart and soul to her.." Dara explained, Chaerin look down

"I remember the time when you took em to Japan and i said yes to you, i'm happy that night to know that i made you happy even you are a ert little girl.."

"No i'm not a ert"

"Yes you are.." Chaerin look at Dara again while the latter did the same

"Why can't we just go back the way we are before?" Chaerin asked her, tears fell freely in her eyes

"Because a lot of things change. Not only with our feelings but in our situation too.." Dara explained, Chaerin stood up and hug her tight

"I never thought i'll fall in love with you, Chaerin.." Dara whispered to her ear while hugging her tight too

"And it's not in my plan to fall in love with you too, Dara.." Chaerin answered, the two cried their heart outs, no on wants to let go and broke the hug. Chaerin remembers what Bom told her in the text

Whatever her decision is, you need to accept it. It will be good for both of you because if you two are meant to be, destiny will find a way to let you back in each other arms again

"I'm letting you go Dara.." Chaerin said, Dara nodded her head

"Don't think that i don't love you anymore but i'm just letting you go to give you time for yourself and your family and that i understand your decision.."

"I guess this is goodbye huh?" Dara said this time Chaerin is the first one to broke the hug

"No goodbyes please, i told you i understand your decision.." Chaerin answered

"I'm sorry.."

"Don't be because you are right, there are things we needed to do first.."

"Yeah.."

"But hey, can you promise me one thing?"

"Sure.."

"Please come back to me and i'll wait for you no matter how long it takes.."

"You don't need to asked me that Chaerin because no matter what will happen, if things are getting better, i'll find my way back to you.."

"And my heart will find it's own way back to your heart again, Dara.." Chaerin cried and hug her again, Dara let go of her and place both of her hands on Chaerin's cheeks

"I Love You, Lee Chaerin.." Dara said

"I Love You More than You'll ever know, Park Sandara" Chaerin said, she held Dara' both hand on her face and squeeze it, she then remove it from her face and kiss both of it then look at Dara, she place a kiss on her forehead and stood up. Dara didn't want to see her go but this is the right thing to do for now, Chaerin on the other hand felt her feet don't want to make a step at all

'Please just say that you don't want me to go and i'll turn around and be back in your arms again' Chaerin's mind screamed

'Please stop Chaerin, please turn around!' Dara's mind screamed but neither one of them heard a word from each other. When Chaerin reach the door, she wants to look at Dara again but she knows it would ony be hard for her, so she opens it and quickly closes it

"Until we meet again.." they both said
