JiYong's POV

I held my fists tight and stared at both SeungHyun Hyeong and Hilary.  Hilary had that sweet fond smile on her face again.  She leaned close to SeungHyun while he held her hand in his.  I couldn't remember when was the last time I saw SeungHyun being so close to a woman.  And he actually put up a pout at Hilary.  I have never seen Choi SeungHyun like that before.  Their interaction told me that they have somehow become more intimate.  If I didn't know better, I would have thought they were an item already.  Or were they already an item?

CL elbowed me in the ribs to wake me from my own thoughts.  I snapped back and looked at her, "Hmm?"

She slightly tilted her head and whispered to me, "What's with Hilary and SeungHyun Oppa?"

I looked at the bar table where SeungHyun and Hilary were, "How do I know?"

"Brother, if you really love her, go get her.  Don't just stand here and wait for your chance to come.  Where's the Kwon JiYong I know?" CL drew her brows together as she said.

I let out a laugh and said, "The Kwon JiYong way is useless to this woman."

CL patted on my shoulder and said, "No doubt the playboy Kwon JiYong won't work for Hilary.  But the old Kwon JiYong will definitely work for her.  You just have to dig him out.  Brother, you can do it.  Let the past go and try to follow your heart and go with your true feelings.  Don't try to buy her heart.  Try to win her heart with your heart."

I looked up at her and hesitated, "Do you think I can do it?"

She nodded her head and gave me an affirmative smile, "Of course.  My brother is the sweetest guy I have every known.  If he really put his heart to it, he will win her heart definitely.  I'm sure."

I inhaled deeply and stared at Hilary from far away.

Hilary's POV

"Kim Eun Hi!" Minzy put her hands on each side of her waist and glared at me.

"What?"

She stepped to my side and slid her arm around mine, "So, it's SeungHyun Oppa?"

I looked at her at once and she chuckled, "It is him.  Your arranged marriage partner, huh?"

"Shh...  Can you keep your voice down?  Except our families and you sisters, no one else knows about this."

Minzy playfully threw out her tongue and said, "So, you like him, do you?  I'm pretty sure he likes you."

Yes, I liked SeungHyun.  I felt relax and happy with him and I could feel that he liked me too.  I too believed we'd make a great couple.  Things would be less complicated and we could live a more simple and happy life together, only if I weren't Kim EunHi and he wasn't Choi SeungHyun.  Minzi's words reminded me of something very important.  I probably should keep my distance from SeungHyun because the closer we got, the more difficult it would be for both of us.  But we were like the opposite poles of two magnets that always being pulled together.

Minzy waved her hand in front of my eyes and said, "Hill?  What is it?  Tell me.  I could see that in your eyes.  What's bothering you?"

I shook my head with a smile, "Nothing.  It's your welcoming party.  Let's not talk about me.  By the way..."

"Oppa!"  I waved at DaeSung Oppa and gestured him to come over.

DaeSung quickly came over and asked, "Yes, Kim Isa Nim."

"DaeSung Oppa, we are at a party.  You are not at work."  I frowned.

He put his hand into his hair and smiled, "What is it?  EunHi?"

I chuckled, "Minzy, teach DaeSung Oppa how to dance."

"Huh?" DaeSung looked at me with his eyes wide-opened and jam dropped.

Minzy on the other hand raised her eyebrows and asked, "Teach him to dance?  Why?"

I grabbed DaeSung by the arm and pushed Minzy forward, "Teach Oppa how to do social dance.  I mean, what if he has to accompany me to events in the future.  It may come in handy.  Minzy, please!"  I pouted and put my hands together to beg her.

Minzy exhaled sharply and said, "Alright!  DaeSung Oppa, let's go!"  She slid her arm around DaeSung's and dragged her out to the dance floor.  DaeSung turned around and looked at me with a twisted face.  I laughed softly and waved my hand at him.  I gave the DJ a nod and he immediately played Ron Pope's 'A Drop In The Ocean'.

A drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.

I watched Minzy took DaeSung's hand and placed them on her waist while DaeSung blushed all over and didn't know how to react.  I couldn't help but smile at them.  Suddenly, someone tapped me on my shoulder and I turned around.

"Would you dance with me?" JiYong gave out his hand to me and smiled.

I looked him in the eyes and hesitated at first.  But I somehow couldn't resist him, especially the look in his eyes.  I slightly nodded my head as I took his hand.  He put his other hand on my waist and led me to the dance floor.  Once we were at the centre of the dance floor, he slightly pulled me close to him and held my hand on his chest with one hand and wrapped his other around my waist.  We slowly danced with the music as he gazed me in the eyes and smile gently.

JiYong somehow looked a little different today.  His eyes softened.  He no longer looked like a hungry lion staring at his prey.  He held my hand tightly on his chest where I could actually feel his pounding heartbeats with my hand.

I raised my eyes to look at him instantly.  Why was his heart pounding like this?

JiYong leaned a little closer to me and whispered, "Feel it?"

"What?" I asked softly as my own heartbeats quickened.

"Feel my heartbeats?" He asked.  I inhaled deeply as I looked into his eyes.  His gaze was like laser piercing through me.  I gasped and wanted to pull away my hand, but he held onto it tight.

"Hilary, these roaring heartbeats in my chest are because of you." JiYong gazed me in the eyes and said in a serious tone.

I swallowed, "JiYong..."

"Shh...  I just want to dance with you now.  We can discuss the rest later." He pulled me to himself and hugged me close which made me rest my chin on his shoulder.  He whispered in my ear, "Kim EunHi, what have you done to me?"

I shook my head and said softly, "I haven't done anything."

"No, you have.  You just didn't realize it, that's all." He hugged me tighter as if I would disappear any second.

WooBin's POV

"Do you see what I see?" I stared at the couple in front of me and just couldn't move my eyes away.

Dara nodded her head with a sigh, "I do.  Crystal clear."

I let out a long and heavy sigh, "I thought she and SeungHyun..."  I sighed again, "What is my baby sister thinking?"

"Maybe it's not what we think.  After all, it's just a dance."

I glanced at SeungHyun who sat at a corner alone, drinking his wine.  SeungHyun and I only met for business; hence, we were never close to each other.  But for what I observed, he was a man of his words, sincere and a true gentleman.  If I was to hand over my sister to a man, SeungHyun would definitely be my first choice.  However, there was one thing that I was not pleased about him.  He was too reserved.  He concerned too much that he withheld his true feelings and emotions to himself.  He was too calm sometimes that gave people a cold and distant feeling.  If I were him, I would have dragged EunHi away from JiYong since I wouldn't let the woman I liked to dance with anyone else.  But SeungHyun just sat there and watched.  His calmness made me wonder if he really liked my sister at all.

"What are you thinking?" Dara patted me on my shoulder and asked.

I looked at her and smiled, "Nothing."

"Don't worry too much!  Let's just watch quietly on the side.  You should know very well that Hill will rebound if we keep telling her to stay away from JiYong."  Dara grabbed my hand and said with a smile.  I nodded with a smile.

CL's POV

I knew my brother was in love with Hilary since his long lost tender eyes were back.  The old Kwon JiYong was back.  I couldn't help but smile at the couple under the spotlight at the dance floor.

"The predator already has his paws on his prey, huh?" SeungRi sneaked to my side and whispered in my ear which made me jump a little.

I pushed him away and said, "Yahh..."  He threw his arm aro
