His arms tightened its hold around her waist as he embraced her from behind. She held on to his arms as she closed her eyes and leaned back against him, savoring his comforting warmth. He leaned down a bit, tilted his head, letting his lips brushed against her ear. The salty cold breeze coming from the sea before them brushed against them and it only made him tightened his embrace around her more… 


The sides of her lips twitched… slowly curved out a smile as she heard him humming against her ear and she felt the hair on the back of her neck stood up, as he tickled her with his hot breath. She opened her eyes and the wide sparkling blue sea welcomed her sight, she could still hear him humming…the sound was very much familiar to her. Yet she couldn’t put her mind to remember what the song was because just the fact that she could hear him humming for the first time… the feeling was as if he was singing to her, made her blush and forget everything else. 

She sighed in contentment… couldn’t figure out the mixed emotions that were stirring her insides… she wanted to cry out of bliss… it was just so perfect. The sounds of the waves crashing against each other… under the pale blue sky… with him humming against her ear… but most of all, being right here in his protecting embrace, oh she really wanted to cry in happiness. 

After a while, he stopped… and just then she noticed the wild beatings of her heart, and upon hearing it, she blushed once again.

Jiyong’s eyes fluttered in happiness, his thin lips were curved out in a smile as he too looked over the sea. He rested his head over hers as he let out a contended sigh as well. 

“I wish we could be like this forever…” 

She heard him whisper… his voice sounded so calm yet a tinge of sadness could still be felt from it. She squeezed his arm as her smile faltered a bit. 

“Me too…” She whispered back.

Jiyong let out another sigh as he released her from his embrace. He grasped on her shoulders and turned her around to face him. Dara locked gaze with him for a while. One of his hands reached up to her face and caressed her cheek as another smile curved on his lips. 

“What do you say about having our own house?” He suddenly said and at first Dara wasn’t able to hear it clear. For a while she stared at him with a calm expression on her face before her eyes slowly widen as well as . She looked at him with mixed confusion and surprise in her face. 

“Wha-… what did you say?” She stuttered on her words. Her voice barely heard.

“Just the two of us… together… away from all this bad things that’s been happening…” 

Dara gulped down, couldn’t blink her eyes from what she had been hearing from him. Together… alone with him… with just the two of them; she blushed from the thought. But as much as she wanted that dream to come true… at the back of her mind, she knew she couldn’t just easily be happy and accept what he was offering her. There suddenly was a painful tug in her heart, preventing her happiness. She couldn’t accept his offer. Not when she knew there were still rough edges that needed to be fixed. 

The smile on her lips finally vanished, and her expression slowly changed as she stared at him with reluctance. There were a lot of things she wanted to discuss to him… and one of those was about Yunho, yet she was hesitating… afraid that she’ll hurt him in the process. Yet if not now, when…? She can’t take seeing him in so much pain. 

“But… but what about your parents Jiyong? Or Yunho-ssi…?” She started, and she watched how Jiyong’s expression turned sour immediately. He closed his eyes, his jaw clenched and he was about to turn away but she held on to his arms. 

“You can’t stay mad at them… they’re your family…” 

Upon hearing it, Jiyong immediately opened his eyes. His expression was cold and he wasn’t able to control himself that he glared at her. Dara gasped, fear started to crawl down her spine yet she kept her stance.

“Right now… you’re the only family I have.” Dara flinched from his words… the pain inside her chest, grew… scalding, burning her. This was so wrong… 

“Jiyong, I know you’re mad… but-…” 

She was cut when he managed to pull away from her grasp and started to walk away. Dara’s heart ached in agony as she watched him go. No no no… she shook her head, what had she done? There they were… all happy and alone together… and she just had to ruin it by meddling about his family again… 

But there was a side of her that wanted for everything to be in place first before she could have him all for herself. She couldn’t let him use her this time to run away from his problems, ‘their’ problems…

She followed him to their car. Jiyong hastily got inside, banging the door closed. He gripped tightly on the steering wheel; cold eyes were set on the dashboard of the car. His jaw was clenched, and he was controlling himself not to throw a fit on her, not that he already did a little. 

Dara quietly slid in the passenger’s seat… expression was filled with worry; she stared at him for a while. She gulped down; one of her hands curled into a fist before she tried to reach up to him but got stopped when he started to speak.

“How long have you known him?” Jiyong spoke in a hard cold voice, not minding to glance at her as he kept his gaze ahead. 

“Huh..?” Dara’s brows arched up as her head automatically tilted to the side. 

“Tell me… how long have you known him…?” Jiyong’s voice wavered… sounded almost like a whisper. And upon realizing it was Yunho he was talking about, Dara slowly lowered her gaze, her hand rested on her knees. 

“I saw him first when we… and Soojin went to the beach… I didn’t know Jiyong…” She stuttered. Jiyong kept silent, completely torturing and confusing her. Where was this heading to? She couldn’t help but wonder. 

“And you’ve been meeting up with him since then..?” Apart from the calmness in his voice, there was the familiar coldness in it… and a tinge of indictment that made Dara flinched and immediately looked up. 

“What…? No..!” She couldn’t help but for her voice to sound defensive. 

“You were meeting up with my brother.” Jiyong mumbled under his breath. The thought of Dara and Yunho together made him sick. The fact that his brother was supposed to be Dara’s husband swam inside his mind once again, making him drown. He didn’t know what to do… he didn’t know if he could control himself… especially his possessiveness over her. She was his… and he’ll die if someone, especially Yunho will take her away from him. 

Dara brows met in frustration… what was Jiyong up to? 

“I didn’t know he was your brother. But still… Jiyong why are you so mad?” Her voice shook, controlling herself not to cry. But the sight of Jiyong was making it hard for her not to. 

She gasped as Jiyong spun his head to meet gaze with her. His eyes were digging holes through her as he stared at her with hate in his eyes. He wanted to reach for her, grab both of her shoulders and shake the life out of her. 

She was asking him why he was mad. Couldn’t she see? 

Yunho came back to take her away… he came back not because he was sorry for everything but instead he came back for her… to take the person who was most valuable to Jiyong now. And his parents, who Jiyong thought would understand him this time won’t do anything but let Yunho to take over the things he worked hard for… he doubted they will stop Yunho from taking Dara away from him as well.

Didn’t he have the right to be mad? 

“I don’t want to lose you…” He said between gritted teeth. 

Dara looked at him with connected brows. Confused with his words, she reached for his arm and squeezed it. He continuously stared at her; silence surrounded them and after a while, her expression slowly calmed. 

“What do you mean Jiyong..? Of course you won’t…” Her other hand reached for him as well, pulling him towards her and after a while, Jiyong finally succumbed to her, he let her turn him towards her. She cupped his face between her hands and watched the twisted expression on his face. 

“Please talk with your parents… they only want what’s good for you Jiyong…” Jiyong didn’t answer but instead he continuously stared at her. 

“I’ve talked to Yunho-ssi once…” upon hearing it, Jiyong tried to escape Dara’s hold but she held his face tight. 

“Don’t Dara…” he warned but she shook her head. 

“I didn’t know it was you and your family that he was talking about… but Jiyong… he was regretting everything he had done.” 

“He wants to take you away from me!” His mind screamed over and over again. 

“Jiyong… you’re just hurting yourself.” Her voice filled with sadness but it wasn’t enough to make him sway. 

His hands came to grip on hers and forcefully pulled them away from his face. He looked away, still holding on to her hands. He squeezed her hands on his lap, his jaw clenched tightly as he once again kept his silence. 

“Don’t do this now Dara…” Dara groaned in frustration. He was running away again. 

“But Jiyong-“ 

“All I want is to forget everything today but you just had to ruin it.” She gasped, felt a stab on her heart and she looked at him with a stunned expression on her face. Now, he was mad at her as well. She wanted to cry, but tears won’t escape her eyes. 

She wanted to slap herself, hoping it would wake her up from this nightmare, but his tight hold on her hands failed her… and made sure that everything was not a dream. Her good intention went back to her like a slap on her face. Can’t she stay put for a second, without ruining anything? Can’t she be selfish for a minute, letting herself enjoy the time with him alone…? As much at it sounded so easy. She can’t. 

Jiyong squeezed her hands for the last time before he let go of them. Dara stayed calcified, watched him as he started the car and began to drive off. He didn’t even bother glancing at her as he kept his gaze on the road. After a while, she finally managed to look away. With a heavy heart, she set her gaze on the window beside her. Watched how the heavens turned grey… joining her in her agony. 

The next few minutes were excruciatingly silent. Neither of them spoke nor glanced at each other. She was blaming herself for ruining the day, yet she can’t help but be mad at him as well for being so immature now despite everything they had went through. How could he run away again? But still… he asked for a day with her… a day of just the two of them… how could she take that one opportunity away from him…? 

And if his hate for his parents wasn’t enough to make him feel so betrayed, his wife’s persuasions made it a lot worse. He had asked a day of freedom… a day with her alone yet there she was… had to ruin it herself. He wanted to be free from the man he was when she met him, yet it was so hard to do especially when Dara made him feel deceived as well. He couldn’t help but feel that she was siding with his parents and most of all with his brother. 

Suddenly, he swerved the car to the side, hastily parking it. And after a long while, Dara finally turned to him, only to be welcomed with a furious expression plastered on her husband’s face. Her eyes widen as she gasped. And the next thing, she found herself being shaken frantically. 

Jiyong grasped both of her shoulders and began to shake the life out of her. He was beyond mad; towards his parents, his brother and now even to Dara, and the thought of being mad at her made him even madder. 

“Can’t I have a day of peace? All I need is a day away from everything…a day alone with you! Please, don’t make me hate you as well...”

His voice filled with pain, far from the cold tone from a while ago. She was hurting him… as much as she didn’t want to, she already did. 

Dara gripped on his hands which made him stop. He panted, as well as her. And she could feel his anger, fuming out of him as he stared at her with cold eyes again. She bit her lower lip, and upon doing so, she felt it tremble… and her eyes blurred as she could feel tears forming on the rim. She parted her lips… and choked as a stream of tear escaped one of her eyes.

“I’m sorry…” She cried out and a flood of tears followed suit. 

Jiyong stared at her tear-stained face. The anger inside him slowly doused. His heart tendered from the sight of his crying wife, but it was those familiar words that came from which made his chest constrict painfully.
