Chapter 9
What Love TaughtDara sat at the newly delivered sofa and thought about the other things that need to get checked off her list. The past week went by quickly and she’s supposed to start her new job this coming Monday. She was by herself because her mom still insisted to go to work, Durami started her classes already, and Thunder, he’s also at work, working for Donghae. She wondered about what Durami said about the company and decided to search online for information on it. It had its own website, social media accounts, and even a Wikipedia page. She read how the company got started, she got sad reading about Donghae’s dad. She felt guilty about acting up that night. She decided to go and visit Mrs. Lee to apologize.
Dara saw Mrs. Lee at the counter. She bowed and asked if she could speak with her. Mrs. Lee showed her to a table and they both sat.
Dara: Mrs. Lee, I would like to apologize for my behavior that night. I let my pride get in the way. I hope you can forgive me.
Mrs. Lee: Donghae told me about what happened to your family. I told him he should have asked you first.
Dara: Thank you for understanding. I also would like to extend my condolences, I just learned about Donghae’s dad
Mrs. Lee: Thank you, I appreciate it. Now while you’re here, can I get you anything?
Dara: I would love to order some take out but only if you’ll let me pay for it
Mrs. Lee: No problem, what would you like?
Dara: I’m afraid I might order the entire menu, everything was good the last time
Mrs. Lee: Then let me order the same things for you
Dara: Yes please, that would be great
Mrs. Lee: I’ll go ahead and ring it up now okay?
Dara: Thanks, Mrs. Lee
Dara felt relieved that Donghae’s mom was so easy to talk to. She also got to meet Donghae’s older brother before she left. When she got back, Durami was already home.
Durami: Unnie! Where have you been?
Dara: I got us dinner
Durami: Oh good, I’m starving, you want me to set the table
Dara: Yeah sure
Durami: I really missed you unnie, I missed talking to you like this
Dara: Me too...so, anyone you’re interested lately? I heard Yunho got married
Durami: Yeah, we no longer keep in touch with our neighborhood friends after what happened. I have new friends now and no I’m not currently dating.
Dara: How boring
Durami: Oh and so are you in a relationship?!
Dara: Yes, with my job
Durami: Hmmm
Dara: What’s that supposed to mean?
Durami: I’ve heard that before
Dara: From who?
Durami: Donghae oppa
Dara: How close is he to you guys?
Durami: He gave Thunder a job when we really need it. He hangs out with Thunder sometimes, visits us during our birthdays and brings food like this...wait...did you go to his mom’s restaurant?
Dara: Yes, I went there to apologize
Durami: As you should, you were embarrassing that night
Dara: So go on, what else did Donghae do for you guys?
Durami: When mom got sick while all of that mess was going on, Donghae oppa helped us with the bills until we could pay him back when you sent us some money
Dara: How? He was just a student then?
Durami: His songs were already hits. I believe h
