Chapter 13
I Choose YouThey got there almost close to dusk. It was a small cabin in the middle of a field on a bluff overlooking the ocean. It was beautiful.
Dara: Wow, yeah, I can see why this is his retreat.
Ji Eun: I know right? Isn't it nice? I'll wait for you here in the car. Go and talk to him.
Dara knocked and it was opened by a guy she's never met before.
Dara: Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to barge in on you, I thought this was the right address.
Donghae: Dara? (he thought he was just imagining her voice) How did you get here? Who told you about this place?
Dara: I'm so sorry I was worried about you so I tried to ask everyone and Ji Eun had an idea where you might be so she brought me here
Jay: Ji Eun is here?
Donghae: This is my friend Jay. Jay, this Dara. Would you and Ji Eun like to come in?
Dara: She said she will wait in the car, I needed to talk to you.

Donghae: I don't want hurt you.
Dara: Why would you hurt me?
Donghae: I don't want you think that my feelings for you are not real. I don't want you to think you're just a shoulder to cry on. I want to be in a relationship with you but..
Dara: Then what's stopping you?!
It was Donghae's turn to be stumped.
Donghae: What do you mean?
Dara: You'll only hurt me if you leave. If you really mean what you said, then I don't understand why we have to spend our time evading the real reason why we're in this situation
Donghae: I'm crazy about you Dara. I've been tryi
