Promise # 9: I promise to laugh WITH, not AT, my best friend.

(unless he/she does something really stupid and funny.)

Jiyong's POV

After I have talked with Dara on the phone, I immediately went inside Bom's house again.

"who was that?" Bom asked.

"oh, that's Dara." I replied.

"oh, ok." she said.

we are about to leave the house to go to a cafe shop when suddenly her phone rang.

"I'm just gonna take this, ok?" she said.

"sure." I said.

Few minutes have passed, she returned to her seat.

"Jiyong, that's my mom, well, my dad is sick and I have to go to Korea." she said.

"right now?" I asked.

"yeah." she replied.

"sure, that's ok, go, your father needs you." I said.

"really?, thanks Jiyong." she said then she hugged me.

"I gotta go now, you should be ready for your flight." I said.

"ok, bye." she said.

"yeah, take care, bye." I said.

"you too." she said.

I was walking when I felt that this a good time to visit Dara. I knocked on the door, and it opened.

"Jiyong!, come in." Dara said.

"thanks." I replied.

"so, what brought you here?" she asked.

"well, Bom is going to leave for Korea, I just want to ask you if you wanna hangout." I said.

"oh, sure, why not? it's been long since you asked me that." she said.

"oh, great, so where do you want?" I asked.

"umm..how about the carnival? or the skating rink? or the mall?" she said joyfully.

"wow, you sure know a lot of places." I said.

"Yep!(smiles)" she said.

"(laughs) you smile like a child." I said.

"hmmp..let's just go." she said.

We first went to the mall.

"yey!, let's eat!." she said.

"seriously, all you think about is food, why don't we-" I said and was cut by Dara.

"FOOD! FOOD! FOOD!" she whined.

"(laughs) ok ok, food it is." I said to stop Dara from whining.

"YEY! (smiles)" she said.

after we have eaten we went to the 4th floor of the mall because that's where the skating rink is.

"I'm not good at skating." she said.

"then why did you ask for us to come here?" I said.

"I want you to teach me, please Jiyong (puppy eyes)." she said.

"come here, I'll teach you." I said giving my hand to Dara.

Dara's POV

I held onto Jiyong's hand as he teaches me. When suddenly he releases my hand. and left me.

I stood still on my place so I won't fall.

"Jiyong!!!!!!!!!" I shouted

"come back here!" I shouted.

"(laughs) come on, you can do it, move." he said while laughing at me.

"If I move, I'll fall." I said.

"please Jiyong help me." I said as I'm about to cry.

"fine, here take my hand." he said giving his hand to me.

"here's for leaving me." I said as I pushed him.

he fell on the ice.

"(laughs) hahaha!!" I said as I stick my tongue out.

"haha, now it's my turn." he said as he tickles me.

"hahaha..STOP!! Jiyong!!..hahaha."

after that we went to the carnival.

"wow! this is wonderful, look at the rides, the games, the prizes." I said while smiling.

"I want that teddy bear." I said while pointing out what I want.

"but you can only have that if you win the game." he said.

"give me that teddy bear Jiyong, please..(puppy eyes).." I said.

"fine." he said as he gave the dollar to the man and played the game.

Jiyong's POV

Few minutes later..

"here." I said while handing her the teddy bear.

"YAY!! thanks Jiyong!!" she said then kissed me on the cheek.

I was suprised on what Dara did. Dara kissed me on the cheek.

"WHAT??!! don't be so silly Jiyong, that's just a friendly kiss." I thought to myself.

"yeah, a friendly kiss. nothing more.." I whispered.

"huh? did you say something Jiyong?" she said.

"Me? No! umm... it's nothing." I said to her.

"ok! let's try that ride." she said pointing to the ride she wanted.

"ok!" I said.

After we went to all of the rides, and tried all of the games, we decided to rest for a while.
