CHAPTER 37

While on 2NE1’s van…
Dara said “Oh CL, where did you buy that one? *looks at the ring on her finger* It’s cute!”
Then they all looked at CL’s ring. Bom said “Omo! An ice cream ring with a strawberry on top? Uhwaa~ Can I have it? *wink wink*”
CL looked at it and smiled “Aniyo~ I didn’t buy this one. Jingyo oppa gave this to me. He said he bought it for me when he was riding his way to our building. He sent me a message and asked me to go to the practice room, and Ta-da! Here’s the gift!”

------FLASHBACK------

CL’s phone beeped. And then she murmurs the words she’s reading so Dara who’s beside her is hearing everything.
CL said “Chaerin ah, would you mind if I gave you something? Go here at the practice room immediately or else you won’t have this ^^”

So then CL smiled and stood up, she said “Oh. I have to go somewhere, Okay? I’ll be right back!”

Minzy said “Okay.”

So Dara’s imagination has been running now… LOL. She thought “What was that thing he’ll be giving? How about me? Don’t I have one too? Aigoo..”

Then Shaun (choreographer) said “Everybody, let’s go to the practice room.. Rehearsals will start now”
So Dara thought “Yes! I’ll see what you gave to her! Bwaha!”

Then they all proceed. And as Shaun opened the door, there was CL and GD seating together. They were smiling as they arrived. Jealous much, Dara?

GD said “You should keep that! Okay?”

CL said “Yea~ Kamsahamnida oppa.”

Shaun said “Is there something going on between you two?”

“No man, haha So why are you all here?”

“2NE1 will be rehearsing.”

“Ahh~ Araesso.”

-----END OF FLASHBACK-----
Dara thought “So that’s what he gave to her that time :(”
Minzy said “Aww. You’re lucky! Why is it just you? He didn’t even give us one! Agh!”
Bom said “So that was long time ago right? I remembered that one, because that’s the time when we had an embarrassing moment to YG and him, when we didn’t know that they’ve been watching us on the surveillance cams!”
Minzy said “And so that’s the reason why we caught you two alone in the practice room and sitting on one side of the whole room together. Hah! Chaerin Unnie~ we knew it!”

----SILENCE----

Then all of them looked at Dara slowly… and they were like “Oops.”
CL said “No! But don’t worry Dara, this has nothing special to do with me!”
“Ne! And Jiyong-ie loves buying things for us, right? Like how he always brings sandwiches to us ^^”-Bom said. Haha They’re trying to appease her mind because they knew that they’ve been talking about GD and CL all the time so they wonder about Dara’s feelings. Ahh! How could they not think of that one!

Dara said “No, it’s okay! ^^”
“Are you sure?” –CL said.
“Ne… why would I put malice on it, right? It’s completely fine with me actually.”-she said it while smiling.
CL hugged her and said “Yeaah! That’s my Dara~”
Then they just decided to quit that topic and they successfully went to their dorm. Dara thought “Yeah. That’s right, that’s nothing… GD was like that to all of us, why be worried that much Dara? Stop that *hits her head*” 

While on Big Bang’s dorm… GD was on his room, looking at his phone and walking left to right again and again. Haha. He sat on his bed and said “Ahh! This is killing me! Should I call her or not? …if I call her then what would I say? But I want to talk to her and tell her something but I’m running out of words. I want to see her but I don’t have a reason to tell her why. Ugh!! What the heck is happening to me?! ” –haha. You’re in love Ji. 
Until he gets his phone then he selected Dara’s number and tried to call. Haha! The phone is already ringing…
It took 3 rings and he immediately cut the call. Aw! Why?! He said “Agh! That’s it. I have nothing to say really. I better not!” –then he threw his phone to his bed. On that time, Dara on their dorm… just entered their room and went to her bed and checked her phone. Her eyes widened as she saw…

“1 missed call” 
and it was from GD... So she squealed and said “Kyaaah! Omo! Too bad I wasn’t able to answer that one! Uhwaa~ I wonder why did he call? Ugh! Why didn’t I pick it up immediately?! *sigh* now it’s gone. Aigoo!”
Then she decided to call him to ask him why, haha finally had a reason uh? LOL Then GD on his room... as his phone rings, he instantly looked at it and Ta-da! It was Dara! He smiled and said “She’s calling?” then he picked it up.
“Hello?”
“Jiyong-ah, why did you call?^^”
“Me? Did I? Oh... Haha I dialed your number accidentally, Sorry.” –Denial!
“So that’s it?”
“Yeah. Why? Are you expecting more than that?”
Dara blushed and said “Aniyo!!”
They’re both smiling while talking to each other through the phone. Haha missed each other’s voice uh? 
GD said “What?”
“What do you mean what?”
“What now? Why did you call?”
“I called just to ask you why you called me lately.”
“Ahh. Right, I dialed it wrong.”

---Awkwardness---

Dara said “Ah... Ji?”
“Neh?” –they’re both calm.
“Sorry for yelling at you last time, I didn’t mean to—”
“What’s new about you yelling at me? Am I not used to that, you think?”
Dara smiled but she said “Ya! You’re always like that to me.”
“Because you’re always like this to me too.”
“What did I do wrong?”
“Nothing…”
“Then why—You know what, I can’t understand why you’re being so kind to me and then be rude at a sudden. You’re fooling around with me then ignore me after! What exactly did I do wrong for you to act like that?”
“Dara...”
“What?”
“Can we meet tonight?” –OMO!! o_O Now, that is the brave Jiyong!
“What?” –she was surprised.
“You heard it.”
“Now? B-But-- ”
“It’s okay if you don’t want to.”
“Aniyo! I… (she thought “I really want to!”) I think I can go. But isn’t it too late for us to meet?”
“10 PM isn’t that late.”
“But we have the rules, right?”
“If you don’t really want to go with me tonight then just tell it to me straightly. I need no excuses.”
“Aniyo~ I want to.”
“Then…”
“Where should we meet?”
“What about at the park near the Han?”
“Han River?”
“Ne.”
“Okay!”

Later on… they hung up the call. GD smiled after he cut the call, he thought “I made it! Hah!” 
So he fixed himself and planned to ask permission to the boys so that they’ll be aware where GD is. He checked the living room but they’re not there, so he also checked Taeyang, Daesung and Seungri’s room and they were not there either. So last one left was TOP’s, he opened it and saw them all there, sitting on his bed, they were all shocked as he got in. Everyone paid attention to him after then became a bit uneasy.

GD said “What are you doing?”
“Oh hyung! You’re here!^^ Why?”- Daesung said.
GD was like “…..”
TOP said “We’re not doing anything! Can’t you see? Haha.”
GD said “What are you talking about then?”
Seungri said “Uhh……Noona! Dara noona! That’s right! We’re talking about her! Haha.”
Then they all smiled.
Jiyong said “Retards. *sighed*” –LOL!
“Why did you come in hyung?”
“Ah. That one! I came here to say that I’m going out for tonight.”
“Where? With whom? Why?”
“You got me? Alright. I’m leaving, bye~” –hahaha
“Even better!” –Seungri said.
GD slowly looked back having an insolent look at him…
Seungri said “Ah no! That’s not what I mean... Take care hyung! That’s it! Haha. Bye Bye~!” –haha nervous? LOL
TOP said “Bye man…”
So then GD said “I’m off.” –he finally closed the door. He thought “Those four are a bunch of weirdoes.*giggle*” then he went to the park near the Han River already.

While Dara on their dorm, also smiled and hurriedly dresses up. She brought Tamtam (her voodoo doll) and sneaked out from the girls, they are all watching the TV. haha, Yes, she walked that fast in front of them and went out. And what’s surprising is, the girls didn’t notice her! Haha Focused on the TV show that much? LOL After Dara stepped out from their dorm, she heaved a sigh and said “Whew! Glad they didn’t see me. For sure, they’ll avoid me to if they caught me! Sorry girls but I really want to see him tonight! Kkk ^^”

She hurriedly walked her way to the park near the Han River…  it’s really cold that night. She’s walking and talking to herself again. She said “Whew~ You can stand this Dara! You can! For GD! Come on~” –Haha! She said it with her hands on the pocket of her jacket while shivering. Cute! She thought “Why did he call me and asked me to meet him this late? Hmm… What could be the reason? Kyaaah! This is the moment I’ve been waiting for! Kyaaah! Is this a date? Omo! What are you thinking Ssantokki?! Tamtam-ie! (she looked at Tamtam) I brought you here for you to be my protection, okay? In case he’ll do something to me! *imagines* Aigoo! *shook her head* Nooo~ (she hugged Tamtam tightly then talked to it) I trust you Tamtam! Let’s go, we can do this together! Haha!”
-What a dork Dara. LOL
Until she reached the park, she looked around and searched for GD. She turned her head to her left and saw him there, sitting alone. Aw! She was awe-struck. He was meters away from where she’s standing so he can’t see her. GD was facing the river side. Dara decided to stare at him first. His breath has been hazing in the air. He’s drinking a hot coffee in a cup while hugging himself because it’s really cold. Yeah, in Seoul… it is really. He was like “Hssssssss.” while shaking and looking around. He’s really cold. Awww. And he’s really waiting for her.. 
Dara can’t move at her position and she even thought “He’s really a pretty view to look at. I love it when his face was that calm. I feel like giving him a hug.”
Until she went back to her senses and thought “Omo! Why am I just standing here?” –so then she walked near him and GD turned his head to his right when he sensed someone’s coming. Dara said “Am I that late? Sorry if I kept you waiting here. Must be freezing eh?*concerned face*” 
GD said “Aish. What took you so long?! I feel like my ears are going to fell once I scratch it now! Did you know about frost bite?! Well… I think I just had it! Aigoo.”
“Sorry! *bow* I know it’s really cold tonight! I’m really sorry!”
GD looked at her from top to toe and said “Glad you’re all covered now.” –haha he’s pertaining to what happened last night that she’s not wearing any jacket.
“Why?”
“Why? Tss! *chuckles* Am I the next victim after Taeyang? I don’t want to get sick, so please~” –Haha. Here he goes again…
“Ya! I didn’t plan those things!”
“Sit.” –he tapped the bench.
“What?” –she’s frowning.
“Take a seat, I said.” 
So Dara sits down… then GD gets something from his left and handed her a coffee. He said “Here, it must be cold now… Drink~” –Aww. So if it means that it’s already cold now, he bought it since lately for her… two coffees? Aw, really prepared. Sweet GD!
“You bought this for me?”
“Ne. You should be gratified that I defy myself to drink that while I’m dying here in the cold, waiting for you.”
Dara smiled and said “Thanks! ^^” –she gets it and drinks some. She continued “Hmm~ cold or hot it still tastes good! Tastes like… *thinks* Coffee! *she chuckled*”
GD smiled at her and said “Haha… It doesn’t fit your age.”
“What?”
“You’re bringing a doll with you? I think that it’s a bit inappropriate for your age. That’s for babies Dara.” –he laughed.
Dara frowned and said “How dare you say those to my Tamtam! CL gave this to me!”
“So Tamtam is the name~ hahaha.”
“Stop laughing!”
“I never thought that I’m with a youngster minded girl. Are you really my noona? Honestly, What?” –hahaha he’s making fun of her again.
“Ya!! There you go again! Why did you really ask to meet me here?! ”
He stared at her eyes and thought “Because I want you to be with me.” but he just said “I want somebody tonight.” then scowled.
Dara noticed his sad face upon saying that and said “Why? What’s the problem Jiyong-ie?” as she thought “So that’s why he’s a little bit strange lately?”
GD smirked and said “No. It won’t make sense at all to you.”
“Why? Is
