Chapter 5
What Love TaughtDonghae couldn’t wait for his class to end to call Dara. He wanted to know what she thought about his gift. He’s also looking forward to practice when he could see her again. Hyukjae passed him a note in class and Donghae tried to hide it from the teacher while he read it.
(Written) Change of place for practice, P.O. offered to have it in their house
Donghae looked at Hyukjae questioningly. He mouthed why, but the teacher saw them so Hyukjae signaled that they’ll talk about it later. Now Donghae was even more anxious for the class to end. He worried that it might have something to do with him. Later, as they left the classroom, Donghae asked Hyukjae the reason for the change.
Hyukjae: I really don’t know, I think Thunder got reprimanded by his dad and that we can no longer practice at their place.
Donghae: (Sighed) I hope it doesn’t have anything to do with me asking his dad to give my gift to Dara
Hyukjae: You did what?! That’s really brave of you. One time I saw his dad’s car entering the garage I ran as fast as I could to get out of there
Donghae: I hope Dara’s okay
Hyukjae: Hope so too. I’m rooting for you guys. It seems that you really are serious about her
Donghae: I am and I hope she is too
Siwon: Who are you talking about? (Siwon interrupted, overhearing the last part of the conversation)
Hyukjae: Can I tell him? (Hyukjae asked Donghae)
Donghae: It’s alright, he meant Dara
Siwon: Dara Park? Thunder’s sister?
Donghae: Yeah why?
Siwon: Nothing
Hyukjae: Yah! You don’t start something and leave us hanging, what about her?
Siwon: Okay...I hope you don’t get this wrong, I’m not a gossip or anything but I heard about what happened at their school 2 years ago
Donghae: What happened?
Siwon: She wrote a guy a letter, confessing that she liked him and the guy publicly shamed her. My cousin who goes to the same school was so pissed off about it because he liked Dara and she had to endure the fallout during their last week of high school, heard she didn’t even attend her graduation because of it
Donghae: Who’s the guy? (feeling angry and jealous at the same time)
Siwon: Gu Joon-pyo, he’s from a really prominent family
Hyukjae: More prominent that you’re family?
Siwon: Way more prominent
Donghae: I didn’t know about that, she never told me about it
Siwon: I can understand why, but if there’s any consolation Donghae...you’re way more handsome than that guy.
Hyukjae: Heck yeah, if you weren’t a chaebol, Donghae will probably be more popular than you
Siwon: I know that, good luck with Dara, see you guys tomorrow
Donghae was in a hurry to get home so that he could call Dara. She picked up after a couple of rings.
Dara: Hello? (Dara answered sleepily)
Donghae: Hi, sorry, were you sleeping?
Dara: Hi, it’s okay, I’m awake now
Donghae: So, what do think about my gift?
Dara: (Didn’t want to hurt Donghae’s feelings so she pretended that she already got it) Thank you I appreciate it
Donghae: (waiting for her to elaborate more or at least a response to what he’s asked in the song) So...
Dara: When will the results of the exam be released?
Donghae: (feeling down that she just changed the subject, she obviously did not want to directly reject him) In 2 weeks
Dara: I
