"I'm sorry, Taeyeon-ah... I really do.." He said.. Guilt.. and he could feel nothing but guilt.. It was a day before graduation. He did some thinking.. It is now or never.. First thing he needs to do is to end it with Taeyeon.. Even when they're only friends, but he thinks it's just better to tell her before things get out of hand.. He wanted to explain Dara.. but Dara.. as usual, would stubbornly never listened.. He tried to find her in school, but she's nowhere to be found.. It's like she's doing it on purpose.. He needs to solve this before they both go to different paths.. whether they're back together or not.. He just wished he could explain.. 

"Aniyo, Oppa.. It was something I expected.. I see it.. You're eyes are on me but your mind wanders to somewhere else.. I understand, Oppa.. make sure you hold on to her, and never let her slip away once again.." Taeyeon said bitterly.. It was something she expected but never did she expect it's gonna hurt this bad.. 

"So sorry..." Jiyong said again.. looked down.. too embarrassed to face her.. Hate himself for making it easy to hurt someone.. It was as if he doesn't deserve to be happy anymore.. Like everything's happening between him and Dara is all karma for what he had done to all the girls who got hurt in the past because of his childish acts and needs..

"I'll get going, Oppa.. I'll see you tomorrow.." As Taeyeon left, Jiyong felt heavy again.. Felt relieved when he finally sorted things out with Taeyeon but heavy when he realises things with Dara haven't been solved..

'I'll fix this, Dara.. I'll fix us..'  He promised to himself..

[JIYONG'S POV]

"Huh.. This day finally came.." Seungri said.. As he nudged me and I looked at him.. "Hyung, are you excited?" 

"Of course.." I plainly state... 

"AHHH Hyung! Lighten up a bit, will you? Youngbae Hyung.. What is wrong with Jiyong Hyung today?" Seungri whined, as I glared at him in annoyance. 

I felt Youngbae pat my shoulder in sympathy.. "Jiyong-ah.. Is there something bothering you?" He asked.. Hint of worries written all over his face.. "

"I just haven't seen Dara today.. I need to talk to her.." I finally admit.. 

"Dara-noona..? I saw her earlier.. She was talking to Bom-noona.. And she went somewhere.. You could ask Bom-noona.." Seungri said innocently.. My eyes widened.. and I felt relief.. So many thoughts were running over my head when I didn't see her for days after that night.. I was scared she might run and disappear.. "There's Bom Noona, you can go ask her, hyung.." Seungri pointed, and I looked at the direction he's poiting and saw a red-head talking to Seunghyun Hyung.. My heart jumped in joy and I went straight to her.. 

"Noona!!" I said too enthusiastically, and I can see she was surprised... "Sorry to interrupt your conversation with Seunghyun hyung, but noona, h
