Dara is about to go to bed when she heard someone ringing her doorbell. And it wasn't just a one-thing ringing, the person ringing it seems like in a hurry. She went out of her room to see who it is. When she opens the door, Seon Woong immediately enters her home followed by Hye Jung who gave her an apologetic smile. She follows them.

"Oppa, Unnie, what's wrong?" she asks. Seon Woong faces her and he looks mad. "Are you out of your mind? You chose Kwon Ji Yong to be the lead actor?!" Seon Woong yells. Hye Jung holds his arm.

"Yeobo, let Dara explain. She has her reasons. Please listen first." Hye Jung calmly says. Seon Woong looks at his wife then back at Dara.

"Right. Tell me. What's your reason for letting that jerk back in your life?" Seon Woong asks.

Dara sighs. She knew that this will happen after she read the article that morning about Kwon Ji Yong being chosen to be the main actor in her new drama. That it will be a sure hit because Ji Seung Hoon will be directing it, she wrote the story and it will be the comeback project of Kwon Ji Yong and his reunion with Lee Joo Yeon.

"Oppa, it wasn't my decision alone. Ji PD-nim, the producers and I did the decision for it. If you will ask me, I have my preferred actor but Kwon Ji Yong fits the role too. They see this as a good opportunity for the press release of the drama. You see, I wrote this story after 'Captivated by You', Ji Seung Hoon will direct this, and this will be a comeback project for Kwon Ji Yong and his reunion with Lee Joo Yeon. It's good PR." She aid.

"But why did you agree, Dara-ah? Aren't you afraid that it will happen again?" he asks. Dara knows what he means. She smiles towards her brother. "Oppa, it's all in the past now. Ji Yong and I are long over. My relationship with him now is purely work-related. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't worry about me." Dara assures him.

Seon Woong isn't convinced. "Do you want me to talk to them about Kwon Ji Yong? Or better yet, do you want to back out of this project? I can talk to them. Just tell me." He said out of frustration. Dara approaches her brother and holds his hand. "Oppa, you can't protect me forever. Let me fight my own battle. This is just Kwon Ji Yong. He hasn't done anything to upset me or something. I can handle this. Trust me. Hmm?"

Seon Woong can't help but worry about her. He saw with his own eyes how hard for her when Ji Yong left her. He sighs. "I will still talk to Ji PD regarding this matter. At least you can stay away from him during the shoot. I really don't want him around you. Just allow me to do this."

Dara nodded. "If it will give you peace of mind, then do it. This drama will be as successful as what we did Oppa. I guarantee you that." She chuckles.

"You should be ready. Young Bae will call you as soon as he reads the article." Hye Jung said. Dara gaped. "Oh, no. He will be so mad at me."

"Just explain your side, Dara-ah. He will understand it more than this man." Hye Jung said as he points at her husband. Seon Woong scowls at her.

"Okay! Are we done here? Can we go home now?" Hye Jung asks Seon Woong. Seon Woong nodded. He looks back at his sister. "We'll go ahead." He said. Dara nodded and accompanies them to the door. Hye Jung waves at her and the couple left. She closes and locks her door. She sighs. Tomorrow will be a busy day for her. The media will have a fest with her again.

Dara is heading to the office of the head for TV series when someone calls her name. She looks around and saw Kwon Ji Yong. She can't help but sighs. He walks towards her so she turns to face him. She smiles at him.

"Hello, Kwon Ji Yong-ssi." She said.

"Hi, Dara-yah. How are you?" he asks. Dara didn't like the fact that he calls her in an informal way but she let that pass. "I'm quite busy. I'm meeting the head for the TV series. But I'm well. You?"

"I'm good. I just finished shooting for my talk show appearance." He said with a smile.

Dara nodded. "I see. Have Lee Chae Rin inform you of the script reading?" she asks.

"Yes, she emailed Dong Hoon Hyung about it." He paused. "Dara, can I invite you for dinner?"

She gives him a quizzical look. "For what? Is there a problem with your schedule or the contract for the drama?"

"No, everything is perfect. I... We need to talk." He said in a serious tone. The smile on Dara's face is gone and she's staring at him. "What do we need to talk about over dinner?"

"About us." He mutters.

Dara huffed and shakes her head. She looks back at him. "What about us? I thought we mutually decided to break up?"

Ji Yong tries to touch her arm but she steps back. "We have nothing to talk about, Ji Yong-ssi. If it's not work-related, then avoid talking to me. Excuse me." She walked past him but he speaks again.

"I'm not over you, Dara-yah."

Dara stops walking.

"I'm not over you. Ever since I left you, there's a constant pain in my heart. It's yearning for you. And I will do everything to win you back." He tells her. "You're my person, Park Sandara."

She looks back at him with a blank expression on her face. "You're not over me?" she huffed and smile. "That's your problem." She turns her back at him. "I'll see you in the script reading, Kwon Ji Yong-ssi. And don't ever discuss personal matters to me again." She walks away from him but she stops again when she saw Choi Seung Hyun staring at her then to Kwon Ji Yong. He took a deep breath before he walks towards the elevator. Dara starts to worry. He might think that Ji Yong is pursuing her.

Dara went to the office of the head of the TV series department to discuss something about the location for the new drama. After their meeting, her worries towards Seung Hyun seeing her with Ji Yong still bothers her and the fact that he hasn't spoken to her for days. She decided to go to his office to talk to him.

When she arrived at his floor, Bom smiles at her.

"Hello, Ms. Park." Bom said.

"Hi. Is Vice President Choi busy?" she asks. Bom shakes her head. "No, Ms. Park. He just finished checking the studio for the new program. Should I tell him you're here?" Bom asks. Dara shakes her head. "I'll just go in. I have personal matters with him." Dara left Bom. She knocks on the door first before he opens it. When she enters and closes the door, Seung Hyun is facing away from her, looking outside the window.

"Seung Hyun-ah." Dara calls his name. Seung Hyun looks at her direction with a blank expression on his face. "Ms. Park, what can I do for you?" he said.

Dara walks towards his desk and stood in front of it. Seung Hyun sits on his office chair.

"I just

Chapter 49: This is what I'm afraid of, a huge stumble in their relationship, but Dara is right, they need this space for their relationship to not be a toxic one and will get more worse than the future. I dunno if they will be together in the end but I hope they will. I want a happy ending for them to stay together.
My heart just momentarily stopped when I read "The End". Is the next chapter the last? Huhu. I will truly missed this story.
