Chapter 21



The scent of the flowers lingered through her nose as she was walking into garden of Kodaiji, Japan. The garden was skillfully layout into a magnificent man made stone garden.

She continued to walk until her feet brought her to the end of the north section of the garden where she found a pond.. it was so peaceful. She couldn't help but think of home, of his friends and his family. How are they? Where they able to be happy even without her?

“Dara! the bus is leaving and the tourists were looking for you. they could not just understand my accent” Thom laughed “come on… we need to get going! They're looking for their sweet crazy tourist guide”

She closed her eyes and took in the cold fresh air, filling her lungs with the scent she has been addicted to ever since she got there. she smiled…

“alright you! I’m coming!”

It has been yet another month alone in Japan. Yes… she did ran away the day after she went out of the hospital and she was living alone in Japan as a tourist guide for the last 8 months nbw.

Jiyong and Changmin helped her financially. Booked her a one way ticket to Japan and gave her some extra cash, in which she didn’t want to accept but was forced to by her friends. Bom was the one who packed her things… she left her family a letter telling them abut her plan


====flashback====


“Noona! You can’t just run away and ignore your contract with YG they’ll sue you!” Changmin grunted

She tiredly laid back on the bed and huffed out her frustration “I know Min”
 

“But Noona. Can;t you just consider as a test,. Another test for you. I mean you still want to be an actress right? A singer? I know you;ve been working hard noona but I don;t want you to give this up because of that” the DBSK maknae pleaded, holding her hand softly like he was holding something so precious.

Dara couldn't help but to adore the guy more. He has treated her with respect and sweetness ever since they got to know each other.

“I Do Changmin-ah. I really do like to be a star. But if this was the price of being on entertainment industry here in Korea. I can’t deal with it. I’m sorry, Controlling my personal matters is one thing. But forcing me to act as Seung Hyun’s girlfriend is just…. just… too much!..” Sandy unintentionally of course and when she realized what she just said it was too late to take it back.

Changmin’s eyes grew wider “They.. They what?! They forced you to act as TOP’s girlfriend?!” he

Sandy took her hand away from the younger guy only to grasp it back again. Holding it firmly against the bed

“Changmina-ah don’t tell anyone ok? I admit, the first two months were just an act. But after that… Seung hyun did everything for me he was there when I need him. I did liked him. No!” She shook her head when Changmin's eyes even grew impossible wider. Thinking it would cause another misunderstanding.

“No! it’s not love at all. Just like. I thought I’ll learn to love him in time but he changed. He became so jealous and possessive. It so much that it choked me. Even if I did want us to break up, Seung Hyun won’t agree. YHS will not either…now I’m forced to be with him and act like someone who I’m not…. I thought it was my chance to help my family… I’ve been practically working for them after my father left us… “ Sandy’s tears started to trial down her face..

The sight of Sandy crying were so devastating for Jiyong and Changmin to handle… who would have thought that the Krungie Sandy will be there crying her heart out like that. They weren't really used to seeing her that way. Whatever was going on for the past few months, she hid very well to those who doesn't really know her.

“how come you didn’t tell us all this noona. I would have helped you. Jaejoong hyung would have helped you?” Changmin questioned, hearts crying for the older girl whom she considered as an older sister.

“Jaejoong? he gave up on me the night I told him I am dating TOP I was crying in front of him… I know my eyes were telling him otherwise… I know he knew It wasn’t my choice to date TOP…. But he gave up on me that easily!.”

“He didn’t gave up on you Noona. He never did. He s
