A week later…

“Bunny? Are you sure you’re okay? Do you want me to call Hyunnie’s doctor?”

“What? I’m not sick.”

“Yes, you are. Tell me what’s wrong.”

“It’s nothing.”

“I don’t believe you.”

“I’m okay.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“Chincha?”

“Chincha.”

“Jeongmal?”

“Jeongmal.”

“Really really really okay?”

“Uh! Why do you have to be so annoying?”

“No I’m not. Just tell it to me already.”

“I’m fine. See?” Dara said as she smiled, stood up, twirl around, then sit back again.

“I’m still not convinced.” Donghae crossed his arms, brows meeting in the middle.

“Uh! Fishyyyyy! Stop this already.” Dara said as she pushed Donghae’s forehead with a finger.

“I won’t stop if you won’t tell me. What’s wrong with you? You’ve been staring into space lately and you’ve not been yourself. You almost burn the house down the other day and got yourself cut yesterday. So, tell me what’s wrong.”

“It’s just… UH! Stop nagging mom. I need Bommie.”

“I’m here. Tell me.”

“But it’s a girl thing.”

“She’s not here. You know she’s been AWOL since last week.”

“Well then, find her.”

Donghae just further furrowed his brows.

“Ummmm… please?” Dara said in a cutesy voice.

“TELL.ME.NOW.”

“Okay, okay. I saw someone at the party that I terribly, truly, really want to see but don’t want to see.”

“Yah. You’re confusing me. Who’s this who?”

“See? You don’t even understand me.”

“Just tell me ppalli.”

“I saw the dragon at the party.”

“You mean your best friend?”

Dara nodded.

“The guy you liked since you were kid?”

Dara nodded again.

“The guy who put a lot of his effort to propose to you then you just rejected him and ran away and went to LA the next day, and that you left him here broken hearted and shattered into pieces that made you look so heartless, inconsiderate, selfish, thoughtless, and cruel?” Donghae said holding his breath.

“YAH! Why did you describe me like I’m such a horrible person?”

“Aigoo~ I’m just joking. But really, you saw him?”

“Yeah.”

“Why? What happened?”

“I saw him with some…”

“Some what?”

“Women.”

Donghae scoffed. “Yeah. It was a party, surely men are only invited.” Donghae said sarcastically.

“YAH! UH! You’re so stupid!”

“Why are you getting angry now huh? Aigoo~ this just means that you still like him. No scratch that, you love him.”

“I do?”

“Yes you do. You’re jealous.”

“No I’m not!”

“I can see through you.” Donghae said as he put his hand on his eyes and shaped it like glasses.

Dara quickly crossed her arms up front.

“ert!” Dara said as she hit him with a throw pillow.

“Stop! Stop! Stop!” Donghae said as he keeps on blocking Dara’s blows.

“That ought to teach you a lesson.” Dara huffed then laughed at Donghae who’s struggling for defense.

“You woman can hit so hard, I think my bones are broken…”

Dara further laughed at Donghae’s sorry state.

“Oh. That’s the smile I’ve been looking for days. Don’t be sad now neh? Bom’s here, well in spirit as of now, Hyunnie’s here, and especially I’m here for you. Don’t worry maybe your dragon has been so broken hearted since you left him that he resorted on playing with women.”

“No. He won’t do that. He’s not like that.”

“Aigoo~ still
