The night after their participation on Pyeongchang Olympics Torch Relay 2018~ His heavily tinted car was parked near her house while both of them are sitting quietly inside, unsure of how to begin their conversation after a long time of not even sending each other any message of Hi-Hello's. Not even a single update from both parties and now, here they are, just within an inch from one another. How she had prayed for this moment to come, meet him again face to face and finally settle the unfinished chapter of their story. How he had longed to sit and have her this close to him once more and look, he finally got that one more chance of a lifetime. "It has been a very long time. Is it two? Three years? How have you been?" "I won't beat around the bush, Donghae-ya. I know what you're trying to do the past few weeks. So please, just stop it." she said calmly but direct to the point, he almost wanted to cover to savor every moment first "What are you saying, Dara-ya?" he started to grab something on the backseat, "Don't you want to drink or eat first? I brought pastries from Haru&One—" "Your instagram posts." That made him stop midway, "People keep on tagging me, I saw them. The gray and orange hoodie, Balenciaga cap, the coat, Christmas tree, your shot near the station— everything, I saw them all. Please, don't, stop doing that." he creased his forehead and pretended like he's clueless of what she's trying to say "Ahh... My IG posts?" He chuckled a bit, "Those are just coincidences, you know. It's not my intention to make anything look connected or what. And I'm not following you anymore, remember?" he tried to deny "What about the style of your hair? You really chose to sport those bangs of yours today of all days?" "What? Are you saying that I copied even your bangs?! You know it's impossible. That's ridiculous, Dara." he threw the small pastry bag behind in irritation, mindless of the foods inside "Donghae, please. Stop romanticizing the situation and quit telling me that it's just coincidence. Some people are starting to speculate and you know that. You're making them think maliciously, as if it's a couple thing." "A couple thing?! Why would I do that? For them to think that we got back together? That those are hints of our secret relationship? That move is so G-Dragon and I'm no G-Dragon." he rudely stated "Maybe you're not, but with those attempts? You just looked so desperate to be like him." she retorted "Desperate? Don't you think, If I'm too desperate for their attention then I should have just followed you again or like any of your post even though I am not following you anymore, right? Now, that's no coincidence." "I don't know, Hae. Just think wisely before you post anything next time, please. Choose them carefully before you allowed the public to see or don't post on the same day I'd update my account. That's all." she suggested and looked at him with soft stares He just crumpled his face and laughed mockingly. He sighed, his expression gradually changed into a blank one and shut his eyes tightly before speaking again. "So you just talked to me even though we were still in that crowded bus, in the middle of our torch activity a while ago, texted me and let me drive all the way here late at night just so you can reprimand me of my own posts? You're telling me to adjust according to your norms and to filter everything on my own social media accounts? Is that it?" he sarcastically stated while he tightened his grip on the steering wheel, "Wow! That's—" he mustered a look of disbelief as he got lost for words, "I don't get it!" he hit the steering wheel hard that made her gasped in horror of his sudden hostile attitude "I'm just telling you to stop making your own coincidences so dating rumors will also ceased to exist. You have schedules, fans and promotions to prioritize. Your image will be free from our ship's shadow, don't you like that?!" she raised her voice a bit "Woah! I've waited for years for this moment and you won't really even let us have some catching up before you shut me out for good, huh?! Isn't that cruel, Dara-ya?" He doesn't know what he should feel right now, he has this mixture of annoyance, bitterness and longing at the same time as he talks to her. "Shut you out for good?! Where did you get that idea? And now what? I'm being cruel? You're the one who's being cruel to me and Jiyong." "Wait! Are we fighting? You can just tell me to go and I'll be out of here right away instead of us getting on each other's nerve and talking about that guy." "I don't know, you tell me, are we fighting? And that guy has a name, it's Jiyong." "As if I care." he muttered, "You know what, just go ahead. It's also late, you should go inside and get some sleep. Let's rest first. I'll just go back some other time, I better go home for now." "I won't! I won't let you, until you admit and promise me you will not ever do that again..." she crossed her arms, "Not until we settle everything. You won't leave and go home. I don't care if this will take hours or days, let's talk. I won't let you go, Lee Donghae." She looked at him intently with a serious expression. His surrounding felt even more silent as it will ever be for he couldn't hear anything but her voice that almost echoed in his ears. All sane and reasonable thoughts of him left his mind as he lovingly looked at her with his longing eyes. He suddenly touched both of her cheeks and star
