Dara’s POV

I’m walking out of their lives.

It’s too much for me.

I know if I love him, I shouldn’t give up.

I’m not giving up.

I’m just taking a break.

Maybe I’ll find a reason to not go back to Seoul anymore.

I need help.

I need Bom.

I dialed her number.

“Bommie..”

“Dara! Where are you? Jiyong called hours ago! He’s in panic mode dara where are you?”

Tears are attempting to fall any seconds now…

I’ll miss my sister but this is for the best.

“Don’t worry Bommie, I’m safe. But I need your help.”

“What is it santoki? I’ll help anytime. “

“I’m moving to New York bom.”

Tears fall, knowing, I’m leaving everything.

“What about your studies Dara? Your friends and Jiyong…”

“Just help me bommie … I’ll succeed in New York, I promise.”

“Okay Santoki. I’ll help you. I’ll put all my savings on your bank account, arraso? But promise me you’ll be safe, “

“yes, bommie. I’ll be.”

I hanged up as tears endlessly fall.

Goodbye, huh?

I hope he’ll be happy with Sohee.

He deserves every love in the world.

That’s how much I love him.

Love . . .

So this is love . . .

I’m in love with jiyong.

But I’m letting him go.

For him to be happy, I’ll do anything.

I’ll do everything.

[Present]

She was in her favorite café, waiting for someone.

She smells her coffee and stirs it again; she always loved the smell of sweet amaretto in the morning.

  It gives her the alternative of Italian liquor she always drinks back in New York.

She sighs as she continued to stir her coffee.

“UNNIE!” Cl excitedly waved her hand across the street.

She smiled as she waited for her friend to cross the street.

Thoughts linger her mind.

She’s not mad?

Cl sat in front of Dara, looking everything about excited.

“You’re quite excited,”

“well… seungri confessed.”

Dara smiled inwardly.

“that’s great,”

“unnie aren’t you happy for us?”

“I’m sorry chaerin.”

“It’s alright unnie, I understand… well, if there’s anything else I can do, you know where to find me.” Chaerin said with a smile and left.

After minutes the person that Dara has been waiting arrives.

“Bae!”

Dara greeted with a smile.

“It’s been weeks since your sister’s funeral,”

“I know…”

“How are you Dara?”

“I’ve been good, why did you call me bae?”

“It’s jiyong…”

“What about him?’

“He loves you dee. After you left senior year, he spend most of his time finding you, but even when most of us knew where you were, no one told him because Bom said specifically. So, we were silent. He often visited your mom and talk to her everyday he even spend time with those four kids you helped,”

“I don’t know bae… maybe I’ve moved on…”
