Dara is in her home on Saturday morning. She's having coffee, and pancakes for breakfast. She's checking the news about the cast of her upcoming drama. They already have chosen the actors that will be in the drama. It's Lee Dong Gun, Kim Ji Won, Park Hae Jin, and Kim Yoo Ri. The drama revolves around Kim Ji Won's character who loves Park Hae Jin but he left her to pursue his dreams and then she meets Lee Dong Gun in her vacation in the Philippines, who is engaged at Kim Yoo Ri's character but she currently in a coma due to an accident.

She's reading the comments about the article and she's glad that people are very interested in the drama that she wrote.

Suddenly, her phone rings. It's Choi Seung Hyun. She answers it.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Dara-yah. Are you busy today?" he asks.

"Not at all. Why?"

"Do you want to go for a road trip?" he said. Dara is surprised by his question but going on a road trip sounds fun. "Where?" she asked.

"Just heading Eastside. Probably Sokcho. Bom told me about this famous rice soup restaurant there. I want to check it out and relax a bit." he paused. "Please come with me."

She checked the time. It's 8:30 in the morning. She has nothing to do that day. She sighs. "Okay. Pick me up after an hour. I'll message you my address."

"Great! I'll be there in one hour sharp. Bye!" he hangs up.

Dara smiles and shakes her head. She finishes her breakfast and went to her room to prepare.

After an hour, Seung Hyun is waiting outside Dara's apartment building. Dara comes out a few minutes later. As usual, she looks lovely. Seung Hyun opens the passenger's side door and she enters his car. He closes it and went to the driver's side.

On their way to Sokcho, Seung Hyun and Dara talk about the drama she's currently working on. Seung Hyun finds the drama really interesting, especially the connection of each character with each other. Dara also opens up about a new story she's working on now. Seung Hyun told her to keep on improving it and maybe, she can launch it after her current drama.

When they arrived at Sokcho, Dara is amazed at how peaceful and beautiful the city is. She took some pictures of the surrounding while Seung Hyun drives. Seung Hyun immediately went to the rice soup restaurant that Bom recommended. And she's right, their food is exquisite. Seung Hyun even asks for another bowl. Seung Hyun told Dara that his sister, Choi Jung Hwa, is currently engaged to a Canadian-Korean TV executive. The wedding is not set yet but Seung Hyun is really happy for his sister. After their meal, they decided to walk on the beach. Even it's weekend, they are thankful that the beach is not crowded.

"I bet the sunrise here great," Dara said.

"Should we go here on sunrise next time?" Seung Hyun suggested. Dara shrugs and smiles. Seung Hyun stares at her while she keeps on looking at the sea.

"I'm really glad you're back." Seung Hyun said. Dara looks at him. He sighs "Yoona and Dong Hae are good friends but aside from Se Kyung, you're the only friend that I really trust completely. Not that I don't trust them but I trust you the most."

"I'm happy to be back too. France is great but I miss Korea so much. The food there is too dry and bland for my taste. I miss the spicy and salty food here." she chuckles. Seung Hyun smiles at her remarks Then, something came up in his mind.

"Dara-yah?"

"Hmm?"

"What really happens to you and Kwon Ji Yong?" he asks. Dara stops walking. Seung Hyun faces her. "You're the jolliest person I know. Suddenly, after the breakup, many people noticed the changes in you. You were quiet and distant. I remember one time that I saw you in the props room. You were staring blankly in a king's costume. If you both decided to break up, why are you the only one who completely changes in a snap?" Seung Hyun said.

He's right. She closed herself to everyone after the breakup. She was focused on taking care of Mi Kyung and doing her job. She looks back at the sea and smiles.

"Remember when I told you that Ji Yong wants me to go with him in America?" she asks. He nodded. "We had a fight when he asks me again. I try to compromise with him but he gets mad when I told him that I talked to you about this matter. He accused me of being in love with Young Bae. We didn't talk for weeks after that. I gave him space and wait until he calms down so we can talk in peace." she paused. Seung Hyun can see that she is trying her best to not be affected by her past.

"He went to my home one night and asks me to marry him and start a life with him in America. I know he didn't mean it. He just wants an assurance that I will be with him. What hurts me the most is he told me that the Dong Family is not my family. That they are just my first love's family. He left the ring and told me that if I didn't go to the airport the next day to come with him, we're over." she looks at Seung Hyun. "I was going to him. I really am. I have my passport and luggage on the back of my car. I went to see Mom and say goodbye but she fainted and we rushed her in the hospital. I was so worried about her that I can't leave. I'm trying to call him but his phone is off. That night, I went home with Hye Jung Unnie and Seon Joong Oppa in their home. Unnie then told me the announcement of our breakup." she chuckles. "He broke up with me in a manner that I can't argue with him."

Seung Hyun wanted to punch Ji Yong at that moment. How can he make her choose between her family and him? It's very selfish of him to ask her that.

He huffed annoyingly. "Aish... How can he ask you that? Can't he understand the situation?" he said in an annoyed voice. Dara smiles. "He wants to be with me at that time. I understand him."

"Have you talked to him after that breakup announcement?" he asked. She shook her head. "No. I tried to contact him but nothing. Hye Jung Unnie even helped me. We reached Ha Dong Hoon but he told us that Ji Yong is busy and doesn't want to talk to me. That I made my choice and he's dealing with it." she explains.

"I get that he just wants to be with you but asking you to choose between him and your family is not right. He should consider the situation you had that time." he sighs. "Are you okay now?"

"Yes, it's been two years since he left. I already accept it. And if he didn't do that, I won't be the person I am now. I'm still thankful that he was a part of my life." she sai
