Chapter 11 

Dara was so silent in their ride to the venue. Although she was happy of the splendid bouquet of roses he gave her, she couldn't take her mind away from Jiyong, who picked up Sohee. Thinking that it was unfair for Donghae that she was thinking of his bestfriend, Dara focused her attention on the road. 

"You are gorgeous, Dara. I am so proud to be your date tonight. Can I have the whole evening with you beside me?" 

"Thank you, Hae. I am not so sure about that. I guess CL and Bom will pester me with anything later." She said predicting what will happen in the party. 

"I hope not. Besides they have Top and Seungri. For sure, Sohee will not let Jiyong go either. Maybe, I can have you on my own." He glanced at her and her face seemed a bit sad.

" Are you okay, Dara?" He placed his hand on her shoulder. Dara stiffened for a while. Donghae immediately took his hands from her. 

"How long have you been bestfriends with Jiyong?" He tried to change the topic. 

"Since six years old. We are practically like a brother and sister." She looked at the side window. She didn't want to let Donghae see the reflection of her face. 

Donghae nodded. "He has given his permission to court you. I guess he knows that I am serious about you." 

Yah, I will always just be a sister or bestfriend in his eyes. 

"Are you going to give me a chance, Dee?" 

"I've never been courted by anyone before. I-im so sorry, Hae. I don't know what to say." Her voice shy and low. 

"Let us put it this way, when you say yes, it means you are giving me an opportunity to court you and be my girlfriend but if you are going to say no, that means you want me to stop because I don't have any chance with you." 

She couldn't answer. 

Should I or should I not? Donghae is such a handsome man and manly, too. He treats me well and is consistently sweet. But Jiyong.... 

She stopped and pondered, what about Jiyong? 

​​​​​​Why do I feel like this? Why do I have to think of him when this is never about him. This is supposed to be between me and Donghae. Probably because he is my bestfriend. But why is it that everytime, Sohee
