Jiyong felt like he was floating the entire day. Hearing what Seungri said earlier at the café was like a punch to the gut, but it’s not like he can force Dara to stay and not look at other guys. As he smoked inside his room, he was reminded of that scene in Chungking Express where Officer He Qiwu tried to move on from his heartbreak by jogging.

Maybe I can go jogging..take my mind of things.

The thought made him laugh like an idiot – he’s not gonna jog anytime soon. He’s most likely to smoke a pack of cigarettes in 2 hours than run for fun.

If zombies decided to occupy Seoul, maybe I’ll run then.

Jiyong liked making jokes in his head whenever he felt sad. He did it to pass the time, even as a kid when he was left at home with nothing to do. He was pretty sure no one will find his jokes funny though.

She would suggestive photos of herself every now and then, especially when she’s in Seoul for business. Nana might not be Dara, but she can take Jiyong’s mind off of things for the night. With his mind made up, Jiyong left and drove towards Hongdae.

Dara heard Jiyong’s car leave the driveway.

“There goes another night of him gone.” She said to herself while packing some of her clothes in a bag. One good thing about not having the money to buy too much stuff, is that moving out is not too difficult. She looked at the bunny stuffed toy on her bed – th
