It is one of those "Monday movie" nights that we have. Thanks to my best friend, Jiyong, he chose a very boring movie for us to enjoy tonight. Ten minutes passed, and I'm already yawning...to be fair with the movie though, I practiced all day so my exhaustion is probably the effect from it and not the movie. 

30 minutes passed.

Okay, it is the movie. It probably won the most boring movie ever made award. If your asking for the movie title, sorry I can't. Advertising is prohibited, it says so in the fine print. But I'll give you a tip, don't watch movies recommended by G-dragon. My eyes are getting heavy when I heard the voice of the man sitting beside me.

"Dara, I need to tell you something."

"Let me guess, we are watching another movie instead of this lame one?" I said feigning enthusiasm.

Ignoring my snarky remark he said in a serious tone, "I'm going to propose to her." 

"To who?" I asked nonchalantly. To be honest, I am not taking him seriously right now. Actually, I am waiting for him to deliver his punch line. 

"To my girlfriend, Kiko..remember her?" My mind just stopped for a minute there. I realized I won't be hearing the punch line to this. 

Kiko. Of course her... She is the Japanese model he met last year...his 'ideal girl'.

"She'll be going to Europe next year and will be staying there for a year or two..." he paused and turned to face me, "I can't let her go." he said. His eyes looking at me as if he was begging... asking me for something...

"Wait a minute! Sorry... but you kinda surprised me here. Let me gather my thoughts first." I inhaled deeply and slowly release the air. Then I proceed, "Don't you think its too early? I mean, both of you are still young, are you sure about her?"

"She is amazing, Dara. I won't let my happiness slip away...this time around." he said looking at me intently. 

This time around, huh? Why am I feeling guilty all of a sudden? His gaze never left mine and for a moment there, I wanted to turn my eyes away.  But I didn't...I couldn't. As his best friend, I have to. I need to. A sigh escaped my lips and a second after, I gave him a big smile.

"So.. Fighting!" I said cheering him on. Assuring him that he got my support.

He pulled me into a hug and whispered a thank you. 

I can't help bust ask myself, how can be the night that started with a boring movie became the night that turned my life around?
