Donghae locked the door behind him as soon as Dara and him were both inside. He stared at her for a good minute, wanting to remember this image of her in his mind. She looked beautiful, as always. There was no doubt about that. He caressed her hair before tracing her jawline and lifting her chin up.

“You're not answering me directly,”

“I think some won't like it, but some will. It doesn't matter, babe. What matters is us, your happiness, our happiness.”
