Chapter 29

"If you're not getting out of that dressing room, I'm coming in!" Jiyong said from outside of the changing room. Bom, Hyori and I were shopping for dresses and since Jiyong was bored, we kind of dragged him along. Now, I was regretting that I asked him to come with us. He wouldn't stop asking me to get out and show them my dress.

"No way Jiyong!" I replied him while laughing.

"Then I'm coming in."

"I'll scream ."

"Geez! Dara could you just show us for a few seconds?" sighing in defeat, I stepped out of the room with my baby blue dress. Bom jumped up and ran over to me.

"So cute!" was the only thing she said. Jiyong just stared; he seemed to be lost in thought. I wondered what he was thinking..maybe about the wedding? Even the thought of it destroyed my mood to shop.

"I'm going to change." I turned around and went to change back into my clothes.

After paying for my dress, the other girls went rushing to other shops to buy their dresses. So that leaves Jiyong and I sitting on the bench. People were walking fast; most of them were girls from our school. But I didn't pay much attention since I was thinking about Jiyong getting married with a girl.

"Was she pretty?" I asked Jiyong.

"Who?"

"That Sun Ye chick. Was she pretty?" Jiyong went silent for awhile before replying.

"Why? You jealous?"

"Nope, just wondering. Who are you going with to the winter dance?"

"The girl I asked didn't answer me yet." he smirked.

"Would you want her to answer you?"

"Yes."

I giggled and punched his shoulder playfully. The school didn't have any winter dance before and no guy had ever asked me to any dance before. So I wasn't actually good with all this bringing a date to the dance stuff.

"Her answer is....yes." I planted a kiss on his cheek and tried to hide my glee.

An old couple who was sitting on the opposite bench smiled warmly. The old lady came over to us and pointed a finger at me.

"I know who you are...you're Sandara Park, daughter of billionaire Sang woo Park. I saw him magazines, hun." I smiled at her, slightly amused that she recognized my dad. Well, it wasn't unusual for old folks to recognize him. We would visit grandma at the old folk's home once every month. The people there loved my dad.

"Hello. This is Kwon Jiyong. He's my best friend." I nodded at Jiyong who excused himself to get milkshakes for the both of us. The lady smiled at him and sat down on where Jiyong sat a few seconds ago.

"You seem to like him, dear. I know the look he gives you, it’s the same look my husband gave Me." she gave a warm laugh and looked at her husband who was reading the newspaper on the bench. He didn't realize we were looking at him and continued reading. I turned my attention back on the lady.

"He's getting married...an arranged marriage actually. To some girl named Min Sun Ye." I sighed and the lady patted me on the lap.

"Arranged marriage? What kind of century old idea is that? Sandara dear, don't let that get between the both of you. If you really love someone, you'll do anything to be with them. And I can tell he likes you. Now, don't say I'm old and I don't know stuff. I was a cool mom when I was younger." I had to laugh, she really reminded me of my grandma. Except that grandma always mixed up my name with Dara.

"I'm back! Chocolate milkshake, right?" Jiyong came back with two chocolate milkshakes in his hand. His forehead was sweaty from running all the way here.

Thinking back on that old lady's words, I decided...I was going to fight. No other girl will be with Jiyong except me. No one but ME!

"Goodbye, future Mrs. Kwon." the old lady whispered to me and winked before she and her husband got up and went off.

"So what did both of you talk about?" Jiyong sat down beside me, shoving the drink to me at the same time.

"Nothing. Just about one of my goals in life." I smiled to myself.

"What's that?"

"Just drop it, Ji. When's the wedding, by the way?" I asked Jiyong who tensed up when I mentioned 'the sensitive topic'.

"Next Saturday." so I had time until next Saturday to stop the wedding. The only way was to expose that Sun Ye and Da Hae's ways. They obviously knew that Jiyong won't marry other girls because of me, so they would do anything to get rid of me. But what if they got rid of me before I could prove anything?

"Hey Dara?" I snapped out of my thoughts. Who called me?

"You're spacing out. What are you thinking about?"

"We'll have to expose the Min’s family. What did they say they wanted?"

"Joining both companies."

"Right. So they're after the money. Like the usual cliché. So all we can do is expose them for trying to kill me and also my mom. But I need you to do something…"

"What?"

"Pretend to love Sun Ye."
